Chapter 580 The Return Journey
Ghost Realm Soul Stone Mine
A month passed quickly. Yun Chen, Han Lian, and Xun Kun all left the Soul Liquid Pool one after another. They used their pure soul power to refine that wisp of soul lightning and even raised their divine soul power to the Void Refinement stage, which was an unexpected gain for them.

However, seeing Ranxi still soaking in the Soul Liquid Pool with her eyes closed, the three of them couldn't help but feel anxious. Yesterday, Shentu Ghost King had already activated the protective barrier, saying that the time given by the First Hall Yama had come, and he wanted to send the four of them away.

The four made up an excuse, saying that the protective shield was set up by Ranxi and they couldn't open it. However, since Ranxi hadn't woken up, they didn't dare to move. They asked the Ghost King to inform the Chief Yama of the First Palace to see what the most appropriate course of action was. In any case, they wouldn't forcibly interrupt Yunxi's healing.

Shen Tu Ghost King was displeased upon hearing this, feeling that they were trying to take advantage of him. He tried to launch an attack, but it did not shake the protective light barrier at all. He had no choice but to consult the Chief Yama.

Han Lian frowned and said:
"What should we do? What if Lord Yama forcibly interrupts Ranxi?"

Xun Kun shook his head and said:
"No, the Chief Yama wouldn't do something so despicable."

Yun Chen, standing to the side, clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha! Let's put away Yunxi's ice coffin first; her physical body must not be damaged."

Hanlian lightly patted her forehead and said:

"Look at me, I've forgotten something so important."

Then he looked at Lili, who was nestled in the ice coffin, and said:

"Lili, we need to put away your master's ice coffin. Please get down first."

Lili opened her eyes, glanced at the three of them, then stood up, stretched, put her front paws on the ground, opened her mouth and sucked in the ice coffin into her body space. Finally, she wagged her tail and squatted down by the soul liquid pool, staring intently at Yunxi.

Han Lian coughed lightly and said to Yun Chen beside her:
"Yun Chen, did Li Li look down on me?"

Yun Chen comforted him:
"You're mistaken. Ranxi should have told Lili beforehand that it would be safer to put it on its body."

Xun Kun frowned and said:
"somebody is coming."

The three instinctively stepped in front of Yunxi, looking through the protective barrier. The Ghost King respectfully led a person holding a folding fan to the barrier and said:

"Lord of the Ten Kings of Hell, this is the place."

The Ten Kings of Hell waved for Shen Tu to step back, then stepped forward, circled the protective light shield, and finally gently touched it with his folding fan. The next moment, he withdrew the fan, his handsome face showing interest.

Yun Chen stepped forward and said:

“Lord Yama, it’s not that we’re reluctant to leave, but this protective shield was set up by Ranxi. We can’t control her magic weapon, and we can’t forcibly wake her up, so we’re afraid we’ll have to stay for a while longer.”

Xun Kun then said:

"Please, Lord Yama, show mercy. We will compensate for the time overdue and will not make things difficult for King Shentu."

Han Lian gave an apologetic smile and cupped her hands in greeting. She could tell that the Yama Lord in front of her didn't seem to want to forcibly destroy Ran Xi's magic weapon.

The Ten Kings of Hell waved their hands dismissively, saying:
"It's alright, you can stay here as long as you want. Since our elder brother promised to supply you with an unlimited supply of soul stones for healing, we will not go back on our word. However, I'm afraid that if you go back too late, the Weiyu Realm will become the territory of evil cultivators."

The last sentence successfully made all three of them hold their breath, and Han Lian was the first to speak:
"Lord Yama, what do you mean by that?"

The Ten Kings of Hell calmly replied:
"It means exactly what it says: a large number of evil cultivators have invaded the Weiyu Realm, and the Central Region has become a battlefield."

"Hiss!" Han Lian gasped, turned to look at Yun Chen and Xun Kun, and finally turned her gaze to Ran Xi in the Soul Liquid Pool.

"Amitabha! May I ask, sir, how did they enter the Weiyu Realm?"

They knew in their hearts that the "Misty Snowfield" had been contracted by Yunxi, and without this bridge, evil cultivators would not be able to come to the Weiyu Realm in large numbers from the Upper Realm.

The Ten Kings of Hell seemed to be in a good mood for conversation, waving their folding fans as they spoke:

"It seems your continent's immortal sects brought this upon themselves by failing to seal the passage to the upper realm, giving evil cultivators an opportunity," Xun Kun said, turning to the two.
"The Weiyu Realm has a suppression effect, so the cultivation level of the evil cultivators who come down cannot exceed the Nascent Soul stage."

The Ten Kings of Hell nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, but those who entered the Weiyu Realm are a hundred Nascent Soul evil cultivators, enough to keep you busy for a while."

With a soft "splash," everyone's attention was drawn. The three of them turned around and saw Ranxi walking out of the Soul Liquid Pool with a frown on her face.

Yunxi still had a last wisp of soul lightning left to refine, but after hearing the words of the Ten Kings of Hell, she opened her eyes, waved her sleeve to retract the energy shield, and then patted Lili's head.

Li Li transmitted her voice:
“Venerable One, do not rush to leave. You should refine the last bit of Soul Lightning. Otherwise, when you return to the Weiyu Realm, without the help of Soul Stones, it will take you much longer to completely refine the Soul Lightning.”

"Alright, they've already said so much. If I keep lingering, I'm afraid I really won't be able to leave. Release my ice coffin!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Li opened her mouth and spat out the ice coffin. Yun Xi flashed and entered her own body. Then she stood beside Han Lian, put away the ice coffin, and hugged Li Li, saying:
"Ranxi has met the Ten Kings of Hell. I apologize for the delay. Please forgive me, sir. Could you please escort us back to the Weiyu Realm?"

The Ten Kings of Hell glanced at Yun Xi before smiling and replying:

"Of course, my brother asked me to escort you for a while, please!"

After thanking and bidding farewell to Shen Tu Ghost King, Yunxi and her companions left the center of the Soul Stone Mine.

Along the way, many ghost cultivators who were mining spied on the four of them because their physical bodies were too attractive. When they left the mine, one of the ghost cultivators couldn't resist and rushed towards Yunxi, who looked the weakest among the four.

Unfortunately, before the opponent could get close, the Vajra Bodhi bracelet on Yunxi's wrist shot out a golden light, sending the charging ghost cultivator flying.

The Ten Kings of Hell said somewhat displeased:
"How can you be so rude?"

He then flicked his folding fan, and the ghost cultivator was instantly annihilated before he even had a chance to land. The ghost cultivators who had been peeking at him all withdrew their covetous gazes in the next instant.

Yunxi bowed and thanked her.

"Thank you for your help, sir."

"Let's go, I know you're eager to get back."

When the four of them returned to the Judge's Office with the Ten Kings of Hell, they encountered Huo Wan, who had been lingering nearby. She immediately rushed over and presented Xun Kun with the newly made robe and a storage ring, saying:

"Senior, these are the robes you ordered and the things you asked me to prepare."

Xun Kun was surprised that the other party was still waiting for them. Without saying a word, he waved his sleeve to take the robe and soul stone and gave a jade box to Huo Wan.

"Here's the rest of your payment. Keep it safe."

"Thank you."

Huo Wan accepted the jade box, bowed to the four people, and then ran away.

The Ten Kings of Hell scratched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed. The ghost cultivators from the Ghost Realm didn't bow to him, but instead treated these four people with such respect, which made him lose face.

So he said casually:
“Giving merit creates karma, which is not necessarily a good thing.”
