Chapter 150 Underworld
Faced with the eager gaze of True Monarch Xiansi, the girl carefully shook her head, "When Daoist Qu San is with her, he doesn't allow us to come near."

“Yes, they used divine sense to transmit their voices.” Another young man, seeing Shen Suiren pull up the girl and give her a high-grade Qi Gathering Pill, spoke up boldly.

"I didn't understand before, but after crossing the Broken Boundary Mountain and cultivating my divine sense, I realized that female cultivators speak with their divine sense."

Moreover, she and Qu Daoren would disappear every time they entered the city, only to suddenly reappear afterward.

After listening, Shen Suiren thought about it carefully and figured it was probably some kind of spatial magic item. So he asked, "Every time you enter the city, does Qu San give something to one of you?"

"It's a box they don't allow us to open. Senior's foresight is truly remarkable." The young man, having obtained a pill as he wished, quickly flattered them.

The others were somewhat timid, yet also somewhat envious of the two.

But some people still mustered up the courage to say, "I was browsing the market yesterday and I think I saw Master Qu. He bought a lot of warm clothes and fire talismans."

The Little Fox King also flicked a pill to this person and transmitted his voice to Shen Suiren: "Lian Qiao deliberately left these people here; she's going to explore some special place."

This area is under the jurisdiction of Dafosi Temple. Where is the coldest place?

Then, True Lord Xiansi asked the youths, "Have you seen anyone else looking for Qu San or Qu San, or have they gone to see anyone?"

As the group of teenagers shook their heads in unison, something suddenly fell in front of them. When they saw that it was a peacock demon infant bound hand and foot, they exclaimed in surprise.

Of course, they didn't recognize the Nascent Soul; they only retreated in fear upon seeing the demon's soul.

It was also because True Lord Xiansi had grabbed the Nascent Soul, and with a single stroke of his hand, he immediately searched its soul. The demonic form, resembling an infant, trembled and groaned pitifully.

"Thank you for your help, Star Lord. Has Que San confessed?" Shen Suiren's cultivation level was so low that a ninth-level Soul Searching Demon Infant would be asking for trouble. She directly asked Star Lord Yiqian, who was floating in mid-air.

And being quite tactful, it delivered a small porcelain bottle from mid-air, conveying its message: "Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, please accept it with a smile."

Yi Qian accepted it with great satisfaction. It was a spiritual object that had been around for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators, even Void Refinement and Integration cultivators would like it.

"She went to the entrance to the underworld. All Que San knew was that she had received an order from the Que King to open something."

"Thank you." Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Shen Suiren found the teleportation array too slow.

The two masters she knew, Huai Shan and Huai Ji, were both setting up protective formations in the desolate valley of the Luo Shen Sect.

She could only send a message to her grandmaster and then inform her father, who was not yet home, that she would take the teleportation array ahead of her.

Zhu Kuang replied instantly: "The entrance to the Underworld is peculiar; the same entrance can lead to different places. Be careful."

One important point to note is to avoid using high-level spirit talismans.

Meanwhile, after searching the soul, True Lord String Thoughts also went along, and locked the demon infant in a box. "Star Lord, this demon cannot be destroyed for now, otherwise its master will immediately notice and escape."

"Hmm." Lord Yiqian treated her with an air of superiority, raising his hand to draw back the demon infant with a burst of spiritual energy, intending to imprison it himself.

Shen Suiren ignored the ulterior motives of these experts and instead asked the Core Formation cultivators in the market to entrust her with the teleportation array.

The Core Formation cultivator was overjoyed and said, "No one is more familiar with the entrance to the Yellow Springs than Master Jueyuan of the Great Buddha Temple."

"If a fellow Daoist seeks him out to travel with, the result will be twice as effective with half the effort."

Shen Suiren outwardly accepted the instruction humbly, but he would absolutely not seek out Monk Jueyuan, for that fellow had the potential to turn a good thing into a bad one.

However, when she teleported to Floating City, she saw Jueyuan already standing in the teleportation hall to greet her.

Before he could even utter the words of refusal, the True Lord of Strings, who was eager to find the person, had already ordered: "Forget the pleasantries, lead the way quickly."

The philanthropic star lord, who had come with him, decided to go all the way and, with a burst of light, beckoned Shen Suiren to come up, then flew away first as a sign of respect.

The speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator is immeasurable; they can travel hundreds of miles in just a few minutes.

There were many monks from the Great Buddha Temple patrolling the water, which must have been arranged by Master Huai Shan.

When they saw the spirit realm deity leading people in, the monk in charge was slightly displeased.

"Young friend at the beginning of the year, this is the sacred land of the Yellow Springs; those who are not related are not allowed to enter."

"You are a special case, and our temple is making an exception this time."

The little fox king glanced at the big monk, but Shen Suiren only smiled and remained silent, not daring to speak so definitively.

Because the slap in the face came very quickly, those who arrived a little later than Xuan Si Zhenjun were forced to break their rule again and go straight into the Yellow Springs entrance.

"Thank you for escorting me, Star Lord. I'll take my leave now." Shen Suiren naturally wouldn't invite Star Lord Yiqian down. His four teammates weren't with him; he wondered what they were up to.

Hopefully, the Bear King can keep an eye on the four people, and one of the two masters who have transformed into immortals at the Great Buddha Temple should return as soon as possible.

At this time, she was unaware that the major sects were on guard against the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Spirit Realm. Not long after they left the Demonic Sect, each sect had sent a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee the situation.

The One Coin Star Lord himself was very cautious and kept his distance from places that interfered with his divine consciousness.

As the saying goes, the older you get in the world, the more important your life becomes.

Seeing that he was just wandering around on the shore, the Buddhist monks stopped saying anything that would annoy people.

Shen Suiren wrapped herself in her large fur robe and disappeared into the water. She was worried that the little fox king would be corrupted by the yin energy, so she pushed it into the spirit beast bracelet despite the little fox king's objections.

The Core Formation stage cultivators have excellent cold resistance, unlike Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who can't stand the cold in this water.

And today, the heavens have been kind to us, as the use of divine sense was not constantly hindered, either above or below water.

She had barely escaped into the water when she saw True Monarch Xiansi circling the entrance where the yin energy was churning, pushing aside the Buddhist cultivators who were trying to stop him, and jumping inside.

"At the beginning of the year, she was in the Nascent Soul stage, while you had just formed your Core. It's best not to go down there."

Several of our senior uncles are already searching for Lianqiao below.

"I can assure you, Lianqiao didn't get in from here." One of the cultivators, a Nascent Soul cultivator, glanced at her and quickly tried to persuade her again.

Shen Suiren shook his head and jumped into the room with a whoosh.

In an instant, the body began to spin in a spiral, and before the person could regain their balance, they were pulled by a huge suction force into a place where the water was dazzling.

Yellow spring water?
She turned in mid-air and soared upwards, her divine sense revealing no human or ghostly figures.

It seems she didn't send it to the same place as anyone else.

"Use a flying artifact to avoid sudden weightlessness," the Little Fox King reminded him.

Shen Suiren readily agreed, placing a flying sword under his feet. "There's no end in sight here. Is the Yellow Springs River really that wide?"

I believed my spiritual sense was several miles higher than others of the same level, yet I couldn't see the water's edge even after flying for the duration of an incense stick burning.

"What if we flew in the wrong direction?" The little fox king looked back, then suddenly became a little annoyed. "Hmph, your spiritual sense is more extensive than mine."

“It is greater than all others of the same level.” Shen Suiren had privately inquired about his father’s range of divine sense, and he said it was just over a hundred miles.

She even laughed at her, saying that believing everything in books is worse than not reading them at all.

The hundred li recorded in the book is only an approximation. In reality, most people who have reached the Core Formation stage cannot see the actual distance of one hundred li, and those who exceed this range will not make a fuss about it.

"Even my father can't see as far as I can." During the flight, she looked at the communication jade and, as expected, it was restricted from sending anything.

In that moment of distraction, the little fox king exclaimed, "Look, there's a floating island over there."

"Where?" Shen Suiren couldn't see it anywhere.

The Little Fox King chuckled, "There are times when you are not as good as me, when the floating island is hidden by illusions."

Illusion is the most elusive thing.

Shen Suiren could set up illusion arrays, but she couldn't necessarily see through all the illusions immediately. Following the Little Fox King's command, she quickly flew onto the floating island, and almost the instant she landed, her eyes met those of the disheveled Lian Qiao.

Without a word, Shen Suiren drew his deadly dagger and flew forward to slash at her with swiftness. The dagger was so fast that Lian Qiao, who had already formed her core several years earlier, couldn't dodge it.

"At the beginning of the year, don't you want to know why I've come here?" Lian Qiao has been a person for many years, and her swordsmanship is not weak either. If she can't dodge, she will meet the attack head-on.

But having just broken the barrier and been injured, she didn't want Sui Chu to gain an advantage, so she spoke to disrupt her rhythm of attack.

Perhaps both were wary of this forbidden area, and with one mind, they did not use any fancy Five Elements techniques, but instead imbued their swords with spiritual power to fight each other.

Shen Suiren didn't listen to what she was saying at all. His swordsmanship was simple, fast, and clean, focusing on killing the enemy and drawing the most blood.

The deadly strike, imbued with fire elemental power, lived up to expectations, almost tearing through Lianqiao's robes with every move, drawing blood from her.

"Damn it!" Lian Qiao realized that even with her half-demon body exerting all her strength, she was being forced to retreat repeatedly by a human cultivator, and even suffered injuries to half of her body.

But she didn't realize that Shen Suiren's position in forcing her back each time followed a certain pattern.

Just as the opponent's flat blade came slashing down, she feigned an opening and leaned back, the blade grazing her face.

She then flicked her left sleeve, shooting a poisoned needle at Sui Chu's dantian.

"Be careful." The little fox king, having completed its secret mission, jumped onto Shen Suiren's shoulder and appeared, its fox tail sweeping away the hidden needles that had entered the water.

The hissing white smoke rising from the water intensified the cold glint in Shen Suiren's eyes as he dodged back two feet.

The moment the opponent fled, he spun his palm and activated the array flag that the little fox king had secretly inserted into the ground.

Lian Qiao was knocked down by the burst of light with a thud. She glared at him and said, "How dare you! Today, I, the Sparrow Master, will fight you to the bitter end. If this island sinks, countless vengeful ghosts and evil spirits will rush into the cultivation world. It will all be your fault."

Her goal was simply to prevent Shen Suiren from using high-level talismans.

But before she could finish speaking, the latter had already gathered his spiritual power and slashed down with a vertical blade.

The powerful blade fire was also mixed with purple starlight flames.

In her shock, Lianqiao released the high-level spiritual treasure, the Five-Colored Bone Ruyi, which barely managed to keep the strange fire outside the protective barrier.

"At the beginning of the year, even with your broken magic weapon, you still won't be able to break through this barrier."

"Stop now, so as not to waste your magic power." As she spoke, she moved in one direction, regretting that she hadn't used the boundary-breaking talisman. What did the release of the vengeful ghost have to do with her?

The Little Fox King frowned and transmitted his voice, "It is the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock Clan, which is specifically designed to counter the Five Elements."

Shen Suiren thought to himself that he still needed to find another source of fire for the strange fire, otherwise it would be useless if it encountered a spiritual treasure.

She only slashed at the opponent's five-colored spiritual light shield with her knife, ignoring everything else, with the aim of preventing Lianqiao from moving to break the formation.

But in fact, she had a telepathic message from the Little Fox King that the remaining section of the Purple-Gold Thunder Bamboo was used when she underwent her tribulation, which she used to secretly pierce the five-colored spiritual light.

Bamboo is also one of the Five Elements.

"But the lightning threads inside are gone. You can use your stealth to slowly stab while I provide cover."

"Let's just use the Thunderclap Talisman."

"In the underworld, we cannot use large amounts of lightning, as it will damage the formation of the Great Buddha Temple."

Shen Suiren knew this, and Lian Qiao naturally knew it too, which is why she was so fearless.

The Little Fox King then used a trick, leaving a fake fox on Sui Chu's shoulder while the real Heavenly Fox disappeared down.

Lianqiao was focused on using her magic to activate the defense, and she also had to teleport to find an opportunity to activate the lightning within the half-burnt purple-gold bamboo.

She cleverly twisted the lace into an arrow shape and secretly burrowed underground to cause trouble.

To be fair, while Lian Qiao was being relentlessly attacked and defended by Shen Suiren, she had to occasionally throw out a spell to slow down the opponent when she was distracted in searching for the array's core.

Amidst the booming and clanging sounds, the activity underground was no longer noticeable.

In that moment of carelessness, the little fox king, who was making a sneak attack, managed to create a hole.

When Lian Qiao realized that the defense was flawed, Shen Suiren did not hesitate to destroy his sword and slash, instantly creating a large crack in the five-colored light shield.

Enraged, she flicked out the Sparrow King's tail feathers to stab Shen Suiren, who countered with a tactical backflip and earth escape, while simultaneously throwing out the Star Moon Wheel with his left hand.

The magical artifact given by the Water Balance Star Lord can be separated, combined, or poisoned.

With most of her spiritual energy depleted, Lianqiao was unable to activate her Ruyi in her left hand for a short period of time.

With her right hand wielding her spirit sword, she could sweep away one only to have another appear. What was infuriating was that the little fox king was elusive and constantly launched sneak attacks, but her fox tail would eventually sweep her down.

What's even more infuriating is that the Star Moon Wheel can be taken back by the Little Fox King and used to attack at his command.

What she didn't expect was that the Little Fox King took back everything from the beginning of the year, but instead used the same tactics she had asked Shui Heng for.

While she was distracted, the tail feathers that had chased into the ground were somehow restrained.

Shen Suiren's earth spiritual root was not weak. While escaping underground, he did not forget to set up a formation for the pursuing Tail Feather.

It wasn't some sophisticated formation; just a few spirit-suppressing stones buried there immediately formed a spirit-suppressing array, so Tail Feather could no longer chase her.

She even took it away in a specially made spirit-sealing box as a way of thanking the Zhuang family ancestors for the treasure left behind.

Meanwhile, Lian Qiao, preoccupied with dealing with the Little Fox King, never had a chance to unleash the Breaking Boundary Talisman to break the formation.

However, she dared not use high-level spirit talismans or thunderbolts, in case she accidentally destroyed the floating island and ruined the Sparrow King's arrangements, she would be severely punished.

When he saw Shen Suiren appear again and draw his sword to strike, he was filled with hatred.

He couldn't help but shout, "If you're so capable, then fight me one-on-one!"

Who wants to play one-on-one with you?

Since we can't use high-level talismans, can't Shen Suiren still outnumber us? Anyway, we're inside the formation, so we'll wear you down until you're dead.

She had already realized that Lian Qiao didn't dare to use talismans, and even though she was continuously outputting her spiritual power, she didn't give the other party time to take pills to replenish her spiritual power.

The two clashed again, their swords clashing. Poor Lianqiao had to defend against the Little Fox King, and before long, she was wounded many more times by Suichu.

In the midst of the battle, she seemed to hear the voice of the True Lord of Strings.

Lian Qiao was startled. She was now at the True Core Formation stage and couldn't defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator. This couldn't go on.

As Shen Suiren shaved off another strand of her hair, she tentatively threw out a Nascent Soul Sword Talisman, causing the ground to shake violently.

Unexpectedly, Shen Suiren disappeared in a flash.

As Lianqiao scanned the area with her divine sense, her sense of crisis suddenly increased; this was the formation at the beginning of the year.

She used the Boundary-Breaking Talisman to strike the array light, and with a few cracking sounds, the array light split open.

She flew towards that place with a whoosh, but unexpectedly, she was greeted by a rapidly spinning star and moon wheel.

If she wanted to escape now, she could only land back inside the formation, but she refused, so she gritted her teeth and flew away.

Then, with a thud, another layer of flashing light broke through the top of his head, and he fell to the ground.

When he thought of flying again, he suddenly found himself unable to use his spiritual power.

As she jumped up in panic, Shen Suiren pounced on her, slashing her throat with a deadly blade, causing Lianqiao's blood to spurt three feet high.

Just as the blade was about to slice through the body again, and the head was about to be separated from the body, the True Lord of Strings shouted, "Spare his life!"
