Immortal Creation.

Chapter 678 The Return of the Heavenly Disgust

Ning Zhuo read the jade slip three times before the sadness in his heart was slightly relieved.

The jade slip contained a lot of information, all of which was about the Buddhist physician Meng Yaoyin's concern for Ning Zhuo, involving many aspects, including Luo Si.

Ning Zhuo handed the jade slip to Luo Si.

Luo Si waved his hand, his voice hoarse: "This was left by the young master's mother, how could I..."

Although he didn't know the details, he could clearly hear Ning Zhuo calling out "Mother".

Ning Zhuo slowly shook his head, his face streaked with tears and filled with sorrow: "This is the guidance my mother gave me, and it also involves you. My mother specifically instructed me to show it to you."

"She told me to treat you with the utmost respect, after all, we will be comrades-in-arms for life."

"Moreover, this content can deepen our understanding of each other. There is nothing shady or dirty about it! It's just that I have omitted most of the content of the 'Water Burial and Accumulation of Virtue' section. I hope you understand."

Luo Si apologized and then extended his hands to accept the jade slip.

He read it once, his expression solemn, nodded slightly, and then handed the jade slip back to Ning Zhuo.

In the jade slip, the Buddhist physician Meng Yaoyin also left a message for Luo Si, relaying the dying arrangements of the Ash Bone Elder: the Ash Bone Elder would pass on the "Water Burial and Accumulation of Virtue Scripture" to Ning Zhuo, the savior of this time, requiring the latter to quickly study and master this Taoist scripture. Then, the Ash Bone Elder would be buried in the River of Oblivion.

Luo Si: "Since it's Senior Gray Bone's arrangement, I will naturally do my best to help."

He paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Besides that, I also want to investigate the battlefield and find out who exactly took your life, senior!"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Time is limited, so let's call the Qingjiao Army to clean up the battlefield and gather as much intelligence as possible."

"How long do you think it should take?"

The Valley of Water Burial is located within the territory of the River of Oblivion, and is likely to be pursued by the army of the Lord of Oblivion, so it is not a safe place.

Luo thought for a moment: "We must evacuate in half an hour!"

“Okay.” Ning Zhuo immediately agreed, trusting Luo Si’s judgment in leading troops.

Half an hour later, the Qingjiao Army set off on time.

The battlefield was cleaned up very well.

The body of the ghost was cut open, and everything of value was taken away!
That's all.

The remnants and scraps of the paper doll army were also deliberately collected by the Qingjiao Army and burned directly, in order to prevent the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord from finding other paper doll armies by following this clue.

The battle at Water Burial Valley was incredibly fierce. There weren't many valuable spoils; the core battlefield had been reduced to a lava field, and there were no reliable clues left.

Ning Zhuo and Luo Si both had some vague guesses about this.

The Qingjiao Army set off again from the Water Burial Valley.

They had only traveled two or three miles when they ran into Sun Lingtong.

Since being taken away from the Immortal City of Forgotten River by Zeng Jide, Sun Lingtong has been traveling non-stop.

However, his cultivation was insufficient, and after the Lord of Wangchuan returned by teleportation, he immediately issued an order to pursue and kill him, which led to the rise of pursuers.

Sun Lingtong had to hide and evade, which greatly disrupted his travel pace. As a result, he only arrived at the Water Burial Valley now.

"Boss!" Ning Zhuo almost called out aloud as he transmitted his thoughts.

The joy that welled up in my heart diluted the sorrow brought by the water burial valley.

Sun Lingtong also transmitted her thoughts: "Little Zhuo, my adventure in the Forgotten River Immortal City this time was absolutely amazing! Luo Si?!"

His eyes widened as he spotted Ross, and after a moment of surprise, he immediately guessed part of the truth.

Ning Zhuo then introduced Luo Si and Sun Lingtong to each other.

When introducing Sun Lingtong, he said: "This person is my most capable subordinate. I previously sent him to infiltrate the Wangchuan Immortal City and cause a great deal of damage."

When introducing Luo Si, Ning Zhuo explained how Luo Si reformed himself and turned the tide of the battle in the Black Cloud Battlefield, and emphasized his appreciation for Luo Si's proclamation of war shouted out in the face of battle.

When Sun Lingtong heard Ning Zhuo treat her as a subordinate, she chuckled and didn't mind this rebellious act at all.

The two brothers had developed a tacit understanding back in Fire Persimmon Immortal City. Outside, their relationship could be manipulated at will, all for the sake of convenience in public.

Ross cupped his hands in greeting, looking puzzled: "Have we met somewhere before?"

Sun Lingtong chuckled, took out the Cleansing Cup, clasped her hands in thanks, and said, "I must thank the General for gifting me this treasure."

It turns out that when Sun Lingtong saw Luo Si fishing by the River of Oblivion, Luo Si gave him this Cleansing Cup.

Upon seeing it, Ross's eyes lit up immediately: "So it was you!"

When Sun Lingtong and Luo Si first met, their souls had entered the underworld, and they were in the bodies of paper soldiers.

After revealing his identity, Ross immediately felt a sense of kinship with Sun Lingtong.

Qingjiao Army wrapped the three of them up in the center and began to march quickly.

The three communicated using their spiritual senses, recounting their experiences and exclaiming in amazement.

Sun Lingtong thought her side was already very exciting, but she didn't expect that Ning Zhuo's side was like dancing on a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, constantly experiencing life-or-death tests.

Ning Zhuo exclaimed, "Next time I meet Senior Zeng Jide, I must thank him properly. He has helped us so much!"

Luo Si bowed to Sun Lingtong in gratitude, his expression sincere. It was precisely because Sun Lingtong had caused such a ruckus in the Immortal City of Oblivion and stolen the Earth Lung Turbid Qi Surge Barrier, the core artifact of the Earth Phase Array, at a crucial moment, that Luo Si was able to hold out for longer.

Otherwise, Luo Si would have died at the hands of the Earthly Fiend God long ago. From this perspective, it's not an exaggeration to say that Sun Lingtong was Luo Si's savior.

Luo Si was very grateful and immediately told Sun Lingtong that he wanted to repay this kindness.

Sun Lingtong waved her hand, saying, "I went to the Immortal City this time not for you, but for my lord. It's not a matter of saving a life."

When he saw Luo Si address Ning Zhuo as "Young Master," he immediately set an example for Luo Si, as if to say—See? This is the proper attitude we should have towards Ning Zhuo.

Luo Si shook his head, his expression serious, indicating that as long as Sun Lingtong didn't care, it was enough for him. He would definitely repay this kindness in the future!

Sun Lingtong sighed with regret: "It's a pity that Senior Gray Bone is dead. Alas, how painful!"

These words immediately triggered Ross's sadness.

Sun Lingtong reminisced, "Although I only met Senior Gray Bone once, and although we did not meet in person, I was able to feel his noble character, his compassion and kindness towards all living beings, and his perseverance in his own path."

Ning Zhuo followed closely: "If it weren't for Senior Gray Bone's planning and guidance, we would never have been able to crack the Lord of the Forgotten River's century-long plan! In my opinion, he is the greatest contributor!!"

Luo Si nodded repeatedly, revealing a hint of hatred: "The Lord of Wangchuan sent people to kill Senior Gray Bone. This hatred is as great as the heavens, and I will definitely avenge him in this lifetime!"

Sun Lingtong chuckled, "Don't worry, although my lord is only seventeen years old and has only Foundation Establishment cultivation, given time, he will definitely be no less powerful than this Lord of Wangchuan. A gentleman's revenge is never too late! In the future, we will follow our lord together and surely avenge him!"

Sun Lingtong was extremely skilled at working with Ning Zhuo, and his eloquence was also remarkable. While talking about revenge, he delved into Luo Si's mind, and at the same time, he praised Ning Zhuo.

Luo Si knew that Ning Zhuo only had the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, but he was still moved when he heard that she was seventeen years old.

He looked at Ning Zhuo and couldn't help but cup his hands in amazement: "Young Master is truly a genius!"

Ning Zhuo quickly waved his hand and said a few words of modesty.

Sun Lingtong raised her head, her face full of heartfelt pride: "Otherwise, why would the heavens of the mortal realm choose my lord to thwart the schemes of the Lord of the River of Oblivion? Hahaha!"

He was genuinely overjoyed, especially after hearing Ning Zhuo say that he had acquired a third talent. This made him even happier than if Sun Lingtong had obtained it herself!

Luo Si glanced at Ning Zhuo, then at Sun Lingtong.

He could sense the close relationship between the two. Seeing that Ning Zhuo had such sincere people supporting him, Luo Si's evaluation of Ning Zhuo rose another level.

Ning Zhuo coughed and turned to look at Luo Si.

Sun Lingtong didn't grasp Luo Si's implied meaning because they hadn't known each other long and she didn't yet know Luo Si's personality. On the surface, Luo Si appeared calm and collected, with the demeanor of a great general, but his words were always laced with hidden meaning, concealing other intentions.

Ning Zhuo could tell.

He pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the enemy who persecuted Senior Gray Bone and my mother this time may not be a subordinate of Lord Wangchuan."

There are two reasons.

"First, the battlefield was extremely fierce, and many aspects showed that the combat was of a very high standard. If Lord Wangchuan has such powerful subordinates, he should send them to the Black Cloud Battlefield first."

"Secondly, if it was truly the Lord of the River of Oblivion who intervened to stop the harm, my mother should have stated it in the jade slip. But she did not do so!"

"This is not because we are worried about the revenge of the Lord of the Underworld. This time, we have already formed an irreconcilable enmity with this King of the Underworld."

“My mother specifically instructed me not to pursue the matter of the Chaotic Fate Gate at this stage. I suspect that the group that attacked the Water Burial Valley was probably this one…”

Sun Lingtong immediately frowned.

Luo Si felt a sense of relief; he realized once again how easy it was to communicate with Ning Zhuo. The latter truly understood Luo Si's unspoken meaning!
Ning Zhuo looked at Luo Si sincerely: "I also know very little about the Reverse Fate Gate."

He immediately informed Ross of all the relevant information he knew.

Hearing that even a super sect like the Myriad Manifestations Sect valued the Chaotic Fate Gate so much, Luo Si also attached great importance to it.

He said to Ning Zhuo, "Mortals will be blinded if they just stare at the sun. Your mother's warning is right. Right now, we should accumulate strength and grow rapidly to await the opportunity for revenge in the future!"

When it comes to revenge, Ross knows all too well.

He harbored deep hatred and wanted to enter the mortal realm to seek revenge.

Now that he has pledged allegiance to Ning Zhuo, who is favored by Heaven in the mortal realm, Luo Si feels that his future is bright and promising.

woohoo...

A strong, eerie wind suddenly blew from ahead.

The chilling wind was bone-chilling, causing many of the unsuspecting Qingjiao soldiers to fall from their horses.

Fortunately, the black-blooded paper horse was a military weapon, and orders were strictly enforced. The horse's hooves were stopped in time, preventing a stampede.

Ross explained, "The winds of the underworld can sometimes suddenly become dangerous; some can corrode bones, while others can erode souls."

woohoo hoo...

On the march that followed, the eerie winds frequently took unexpected turns, causing casualties among the Qingjiao Army. The troublesome aspect was that these winds would often blow harmlessly, only to suddenly transform into something extremely threatening.

Sun Lingtong frowned: "Strange, I've also traveled through the underworld, but I've never encountered any strange changes in the yin winds."

The Qingjiao Army continued its advance.

The seemingly solid, black gravel-covered wasteland surface has transformed without warning into a vortex of jet-black, viscous quicksand!

It seemed to have a life of its own, precisely opening its massive maw along the movement path of the core of the military formation.

In the ensuing chaos, the soldiers of the Qingjiao Army had no choice but to abandon the black blood paper horses and stomp on them forcefully to resist the enormous suction force, forcibly taking off and seizing the opportunity.

The other cultivators acted decisively, rescuing their comrade from the brink of death.

Luo Si said in a deep voice, "This is a quicksand black hole, a natural phenomenon in the underworld, similar to the anomaly of the Yin wind."

"It's just that this phenomenon occurs very infrequently."

The Qingjiao Army encountered this three more times along the way.

Sun Lingtong: "You call this low frequency?"

Ning Zhuo seemed to be deep in thought.

When the Qingjiao Army was about to cross a valley, Ning Zhuo decisively ordered: "Avoid this area."

As a result, not long after they detoured, the mountainside suddenly collapsed, and countless rocks crashed down.

This time, the Qingjiao Army was on full alert and reacted immediately, successfully resisting the disaster.

Even so, more than a dozen people were still seriously injured.

Luo Si said, "If we were to travel through the valley, we would probably all be buried alive inside by now."

A cold glint flashed in Sun Lingtong's eyes: "Is this the treatment Heaven despises?"

He had learned the full contents of the jade slip message from the Buddhist physician Meng Yaoyin from Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Luo Si, Ning Zhuo directly shared the "Water Burial and Accumulation of Virtue Sutra" with Sun Lingtong as well.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "It seems that this expression of disgust is an endless, deadly danger full of 'coincidences'."

"Even on flat ground, thunder and lightning can rise!"

Sun Lingtong's thoughts wandered: "If the heavens are so disgusted, what if it intensifies and becomes a divine punishment? Will a heavenly calamity descend upon us?"

Ning Zhuo and his companions experienced the abhorrent treatment bestowed upon them by Heaven, a treatment that was both relentless and vicious.

The entire Qingjiao army was walking on thin ice, making a difficult trek, and casualties gradually increased along the way.

"finally reached."

They arrived at the banks of the Nether Dragon River and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nether Dragon River is a special area. Cultivators who venture deep into the river can traverse between the realms of Yin and Yang. Previously, the Wangchuan army had followed this route to invade the Yin-Yang Dark Swamp and attack the White Paper Immortal City.

The Immortal City of the River of Oblivion.

City Lord's Mansion.

On the bed, Lord Wangchuan slowly woke up and immediately heard a sound of joyful tears.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has awakened!"

"Your Majesty has woken up; everything will be alright."

"My Lord, urgent report from the front! The Ghostfire Underworld has launched a three-pronged attack on our prefecture!"

Lord Wangchuan, still somewhat dazed from hearing others weeping and rejoicing, suddenly shuddered at the last sentence, jolting awake and sitting bolt upright: "What? What did you say?!"

The monks gathered around the bed were startled, and then the reporting general loudly repeated the report.

Lord Wangchuan immediately narrowed his eyes, his face turning serious, and stood up abruptly: "Pass on my orders..."

With a series of orders from him, three lines of defense were quickly formed in everyone's minds.

"What are you standing here for? Get to work!" After dismissing everyone, Lord Wangchuan secretly summoned his confidants.

"Listen to me carefully, you must do everything in your power to accomplish this. I grant you permission to mobilize all resources!" Lord Wangchuan coldly ordered, "Give me your full attention to investigate a ghost girl. According to current intelligence, her name is Qing... Pfft!"

Before Lord Wangchuan could finish speaking, he immediately vomited blood, his vision went black, and he fainted again.

"Your Majesty!!!"

At the same time, Ning Zhuo, who had just returned to the mortal realm after diving into the Nether Dragon River, suddenly felt a violent jolt in his storage belt.

"Oh?"

He quickly scanned it with his divine sense and discovered that it was the Seal of the Lord of the River of Oblivion.
