After a while.

On the Bridge of Helplessness, dozens of miles away from the Palace of Reincarnation.

Dried tangerine peel, brass oil lamp, and a deadly ghost.

The three creatures stared at the strange Taoist palace, and something just didn't seem right.

"The Samsara Palace is a magical treasure."

The Soul-Reaping Ghost said in a dry voice, "Legend has it that it was born alongside the King of the Underworld, but now it seems to have become an evil spirit, just like the Nine-Separation Bell in the old temple."

The magical artifact has always been associated with evil.

I've only ever seen one dried tangerine peel.

That's a brass oil lamp.

As for the Nine-Part Bell, Chen Huangpi had only heard the bell ring, but had never seen what it looked like.

But every time the Nine-Leaving Bell is rung.

The tolling of the bells was accompanied by pain, ferocity, and madness.

Just hearing it makes one feel a sense of utter despair.

And now.

Chen Huangpi saw another magic weapon that was no less powerful than the Nine-Leaving Bell.

Although this reincarnation palace did not show much ferocity.

But judging from its eerie appearance, it was clear that it was not something I could afford to provoke.

goooo...

Chen Huangpi swallowed.

"Ah Gui, why don't we just leave? I think it's more reliable to take a longer route and find a way out in another city of the dead."

“Master, you are right.”

The ghost originally thought that after arriving at the Palace of Reincarnation, entering the main hall might allow it to find a way back to the human world.

But it never dreamed of this.

The Samsara Palace has actually transformed into an evil spirit.

If they go in, they probably won't be able to get out again.

This thing is nothing like the ferryman.

The ferrymen are immortals, and it is extremely difficult for them to kill Chen Huangpi; they can only suppress him.

If the Samsara Palace were to make a move...

That could really be fatal.

However, the Palace of Reincarnation is located at the end of the Bridge of Helplessness.

If you want to take a detour to the City of the Wrongfully Dead, you have to go through the gate of the Taoist Palace's barbican at least once.

"Use the concealment technique as well."

The brass oil lamp kept performing its concealment magic; although it was unclear whether it was effective, it at least provided some psychological comfort.

Look, Chen Huangpi has even put on a straw hat.

The vengeful ghost was much simpler; it simply transformed into a skull-sized form and stood on Chen Huangpi's right shoulder.

Perfect timing, Chen Huangpi's head and body are now each doing their own thing.

With a tilt of its head, it landed on top of the vengeful ghost's head.

Let's look at the area below the Bridge of Helplessness.

When the ferrymen arrived at this place, they all held their breath and stopped going.

They raised their heads and tapped the bamboo raft with their bamboo poles.

Ripples spread across the Yellow Springs.

The ripples spread to the source of the Yellow Springs in front of the Palace of Reincarnation, and then, as if encountering something, returned to the distance.

However, this also allows the ferrymen to sense Chen Huangpi's current movements.

"He's gone mad, he actually wants to go to the Samsara Palace..."

"He dares to go, but we can't."

"That place is terrifying; it's a forbidden zone in the Netherworld."

An old ferryman said in a complicated tone, "The egg was right here back then. It drained the Yellow Springs and devoured the Yin Earth. It took countless years to recover. Afterwards, for some reason, the Samsara Palace became what it is today."

When the world undergoes a strange change, the Yellow Springs and Yin Earth are the first to suffer.

Time is different in the mortal realm and the celestial realm.

When the first evil appeared in the human world, the Yellow Springs Yin Earth had already become a source of evil spirits.

At that time, the Underworld Emperor was still alive.

But then a great sun fell into the underworld, killing the King of the Underworld, his subordinates Yama, the underworld gods, and so on...

Then, after who knows how long.

That egg arrived in the underworld.

Its arrival is a disaster for the Yellow Springs Underworld.

Because it drains the Yellow Springs and devours the Yin Earth.

However, this also caused the two evil spirits, Huangquan Yintu, to fall into a deep sleep.

Otherwise, how could the spirits of the underworld and the ferryman have any way to survive?

The Samsara Palace underwent a transformation after that.

The weirdest thing is.

The ferrymen witnessed its transformation firsthand.

Afterwards, however, they forgot the whole process.

It was as if some unseen force had erased this memory.

And just then.

In the far distance, a black dot rushed rapidly toward us.

The many ferrymen looked back and saw that the black dot was slowly becoming clearer.

That was a ferryman.

Holding a bamboo pole, he paddled the bamboo raft, leaving afterimages in his wake.

It was the same person who had met Chen Huangpi once before.

Moreover, more ferrymen are heading here.

"Quick! Quickly, let's see if that kid is an external evil or Huang Tian!"

"If it's an external evil, then we'll leave it alone."

"If it is Huangtian, and it has returned to its mother's home, we must not let it enter that hellish place, otherwise we will have committed a terrible mistake."

The ferrymen now have their hearts completely devoted to Chen Huangpi.

As for the rumors, although they are hateful.

But it doesn't matter now.

And those ferrymen who died in the fighting.

This is nothing serious.

The ferrymen are strange; they all look exactly alike. Not long after they die, a new bamboo raft will suddenly appear in the underworld, and then the deceased ferryman will reappear.

It's just that we have to start calculating our age from the beginning.

"Please don't let it be Huang Tian."

"It must be an external evil."

The ferrymen prayed in their hearts.

They truly do not wish for Chen Huangpi to become the Yellow Heaven.

After all, this is the Heavenly Way of the next era.

If it really is Yellow Heaven...

The ferrymen felt a wave of dizziness when they thought that Huang Tian, ​​who spread rumors about himself, was neither good nor evil, and whose thought process was strange, might become the new Heavenly Way.

If someone gets bored and decides to visit the underworld, who could stand that?

The ferryman took a deep breath.

It first glanced at the Palace of Reincarnation with fear.

Immediately afterwards, they rowed the bamboo raft and slowly caught up with Chen Huangpi and the others on the bridge.

Fortunately, Chen Huangpi only experienced chest tightness and shortness of breath, and was unaware of hot or cold temperatures; he was not oblivious to life or death.

He did not allow the brass oil lamp to unleash its divine light.

Instead, they crept stealthily toward the Palace of Reincarnation.

At that moment, a voice rang in Chen Huangpi's ear.

"Chen Huangpi, do you still remember the old story of the one penny back then?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huangpi paused for a moment, then turned to look at the ferryman under the bridge.

Hundreds of ferrymen were approaching him in an arrowhead formation, and the leader shouted, "If you remember what happened back then, please remove your concealment ability and let this old man see if you are really you."

"Remember my ass! Bah!!"

Chen Huangpi spat directly.

It's better not to say anything, because he gets angry as soon as you do.

They even removed their ability to conceal themselves.

It's not like he hasn't withdrawn before.

So how did these ferrymen manage to do it?

They insist on proving themselves to be who they are.

As a result, because he couldn't prove that he was himself, he was attacked as an evil spirit. If it weren't for Ah Gui being reliable and him having a hidden trick up his sleeve, he would now be suppressed in the world behind that bronze door.

The brass oil lamp sneered, "We're about to run away, and these old dogs are starting to panic and try to reason with us. Where were they before?"

"Not bad!"

The Soul-Reaping Ghost sneered, "Now that we are standing on the Bridge of Helplessness, we only need to go around the Palace of Reincarnation and reach the Yin Land. They will be unable to get ashore, and then they will be unable to do anything to us."

"Moreover, these ferrymen all look exactly alike. Who knows if it's the same one from back then? Perhaps they're trying to trick us into showing ourselves and using dirty tricks."

This is not a malicious speculation by a vengeful spirit.

Rather, it is normally calm and cautious, but now that Chen Huangpi is showing signs of illness, it has to think more carefully.

The ferryman grew impatient: "Chen Huangpi, I truly meant no harm. As for right or wrong, just let me take a look."

Chen Huangpi snorted coldly, "Fine, then prove that you are you now."

"This……"

The ferryman said helplessly, "I am who I am, how can you prove it?"

"Back then, you took my bamboo raft ashore to go to the nearest Fallen Mountain. You also had a sword. That sword was terrifying. The person who forged it was exceptional, and the sword shadow within it was even more so."

"I also asked your surname, and you said it was Chen..."

"Alright, that's enough."

Chen Huangpi sighed and stepped out of his concealment technique.

He said indifferently, "I believe you are you, but I really can't trust you to suppress me. That's it, go as far away as you can, I want to go back to the human world!"

With just one glance, the ferryman became dazed.

Although I've gotten much older.

However, one can still see the outline of his appearance when he was eight or nine years old.

But the aura was completely different.

"Chen Huangpi, are you really you?"

The ferryman gritted his teeth and said in a complicated tone, "Your aura, your very existence, seems to belong to someone else. And why is the Netherworld repelling you? This shouldn't be happening, this isn't right..."
