Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 91, Question 90: You can only be a small...

"Wait, take me with you, wait for me!"

Mei Zhaozhao nearly fell over, but she grabbed Lu Changyuan's clothes and said, "I don't want to die."

At the gate, the woman in black robes gripped Lu Changyuan's arm tightly, preventing him from leaving.

Lu Changyuan said helplessly, "Miss Mei, men and women should not touch each other."

"You must be very strong. You killed the demon of the Glazed Dynasty back then. Hurry up and kill him. I want to go home!"

"Me? Hit him?"

Lu Changyuan looked at the throne that had already taken shape in the sky, with Xiao Qingfeng standing on it, the Styx River behind him blocked by his hand.

"Having come to this point, aren't you all in cahoots?"

This is the Underworld. Even if we encounter someone from Kaiyang, Lu Changyuan can find a way to gather some spirits and swarm them to kill them.

Xiao Qingfeng had been planning for hundreds of years, and now the time was ripe; he had even reached the half-step Yao Guang realm.

How to fight this?
Half-step Yao Guang is Yao Guang, not Kai Yang; it follows certain rules.

Moreover, this is the Underworld, so Lu Changyuan has no way to borrow another sword from Jian Guyang.

Mei Zhaozhao shook her head like a rattle drum: "No, look at him, does he look like he's on my side? I knew that bitch Hongshang had no good intentions. Her mission for me is to kill me here."

Lu Changyuan has a bit of a headache.

The body of this enchantress was incredibly soft, and the fragrance of her body wafted into my nostrils. Even without seeing her face, I was already aroused.

"Miss Mei, we're not that close, are we?"

"Nonsense! I clearly gave you a cultivation manual. Aren't we friends?"

Lu Changyuan sighed: "Is your master named Bu Bailian?"

"how do you know?"

"He looks just like her."

Mei Zhaozhao pressed her advantage: "So, you know my master?"

Lu Changyuan actually knew him.

Bu Bailian was the last disciple accepted by the Hehuan Sect Master who was purged back then. If I remember correctly, she should have later become the Hehuan Sect Master as well.

"Save me, oh my!"

Lu Changyuan slapped Mei Zhaozhao on the head: "Speak properly."

It's quite elastic.

Mei Zhaozhao then straightened her posture and abruptly changed her tone: "I just think that Master Lu is quite powerful. You see, I am just a weak woman with no ability, but I want to survive, so I have to rely on a powerful man like Master Lu, right?"

It only took a short while.

Mei Zhaozhao actually changed her tone and persona, transforming from a naive and innocent girl into a shrewd and cunning vixen.

The demonesses of the Hehuan Sect are like this.

You never know their true personality.

Lu Changyuan remained silent, then turned to look at Xiao Qingfeng in the sky, and suddenly felt a sense of admiration.

That person has already succeeded more than halfway.

Lu Changyuan didn't know what he had done before, but he was very clear about what Xiao Qingfeng was doing now.

it's actually really easy.

Strip the Underworld King of his power and kingdom. Once Xiao Qingfeng has killed all the former officials of the Underworld Kingdom, all the people in this city who belong to the Underworld King will disappear.

A king without subjects is not worthy of being a king. At that time, Xiao Qingfeng completed the switch, and the people in the Underworld became his subjects, so naturally it became his country.

He has turned the tide between life and death.

Now all that's missing is the foundation.

When he completely takes control of the Underworld, that is, when he devours the remnants of the Underworld King, he can use this to prove the Dao of Yao Guang.

In other words, Xiao Qingfeng is now a half-step Yao Guang.

You are about to die

Oh.

So, I'm destined to die at Xiao Qingfeng's hands, right?

Lu Changyuan gritted his teeth: "Why didn't you say Xiao Qingfeng was here from the beginning?"

Seeing the growing murderous intent around them, one by one, dark figures emerged from the darkness.

Mei Zhaozhao hurriedly said, "Run!"

I saw her leave the room.

Lu Changyuan paused, then frowned: "How come you left the room in the dark and nothing happened?"

Mei Zhaozhao looked at herself, then at the sky: "Perhaps he changed the laws of the Underworld."

Before they could think too much, black spirits charged in from the thick fog.

Unlike the true spirits that now have faces, this black spirit, which was created by Xiao Qingfeng, still has no appearance, like an executioner in the night.

With a single swing of the axe, it struck straight at Mei Zhaozhao's face.

"I'll tell you then, he wants to kill me!"

Although her voice was charming and aggrieved, Mei Zhaozhao's strength was by no means small. A black light flashed, and the spirit in front of her disappeared in response.

The Hehuan Demoness was all talk; when it came to actually fighting, this sect's holy maiden was ruthless and formidable.

Lu Changyuan couldn't see her face, which was completely covered by a black cloth, but he could sense the cold and stern killing intent emanating from her. After all, her master was like that; she liked to speak to people with a cold face but in a delicate tone, and then ruthlessly kill them.

Oh.

Her grandmaster was also one.

Mei Zhaozhao killed three or four black spirits in succession: "This can't go on, we need to think of something quickly."

Killing more spirits is useless.

As long as Xiao Qingfeng is alive, the black spiritual energy can be continuously produced with the help of the sundial and the River Styx.

Mei Zhaozhao looked into the distance: "Shouldn't the Underworld's exports be exported?!"

"It won't happen again."

The exit of the Underworld should have appeared along with the River Styx, but since the River Styx cannot flow normally, the exit will not appear.

"What should I do?"

Lu Changyuan does know a way out.

You can also leave the underworld by taking a dead end.

He tried to steal the Three Lives Fruit, but was eventually blocked at the gate by a large group of disciples. He could only stay in the Underworld for a hundred years before finally taking his own life and leaving.

But the dead end was beneath the palace. Xiao Qingfeng stood on the throne, looking out at the palace. The Netherworld Lord's method left behind in the palace was an invaluable supplement for him.

They couldn't just walk straight to the palace in front of Xiao Qingfeng, open the dead-end door, and go inside.

Besides, is a dead end so easy to walk?

Now that he no longer possesses the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique" and lacks the strength of the Sixth Realm Opening Yang stage, Lu Changyuan feels that he may not be able to make it through.

Screams of agony echoed from the street.

The black spirit is killing people.

No.

Not only the cultivators, but also the original spirits of the Underworld are dying.

Because the gates of hell opened, the spirits that had temporarily regained their color seemed to have recovered their appearance from when they were alive. But before they could celebrate, they died under the axe blade of the black spirits.

Even more terrifying, the dead spirits melted into the ground and quickly rose again, becoming black spirits.

Lu Changyuan said coldly, "Let's go."

"where to?"

"my home."

Mei Zhaozhao asked blankly, "Your home?!"

Lu Changyuan was too lazy to pay much attention. Since she was a descendant of an old friend, he casually mentioned Mei Zhaozhao and hurried along, passing through the thick fog from the west city to the east city.

~~~~~~~~
Not long after, the house in Dongcheng came into view. Lu Changyuan opened the door and led Mei Zhaozhao inside.

He was greeted with the question: "Young Master Lu, you bring other women home?"

The silver-haired girl, with blood at the corner of her mouth, leaned against the courtyard wall and looked at him.

Lu Changyuan frowned and asked, "What happened?"

“A spirit disguised itself in your appearance to try to deceive me. I fought it for a few rounds, and then I was attacked by that person in the sky.”

Su Youwan then asked, "What happened outside?"

“Xiao Qingfeng wants to seize the Underworld Kingdom to prove his Dao in Yao Guang,” Mei Zhaozhao added. “He also wants to kill everyone. None of the cultivators who entered the Underworld Kingdom this time will escape.”

Since Xiao Qingfeng used the sundial to steal the sky and change the sun, everyone in the Underworld has been marked with two different symbols.

One group consists of people from the previous dynasty, who are the subjects of the Underworld King. When a new dynasty is established, the people of the previous dynasty must die.

The other is his subjects, the subjects of the new dynasty.

To become one of his subjects, one must first die, and then be transformed by him into a new spirit.

and so.

No one can truly live.

Su Youwan ignored Mei Zhaozhao and looked at Lu Changyuan instead.

"What do you think?"

Lu Changyuan shook his head: "Whether he succeeds or not, he has already touched the threshold of Yao Guang. He already has the Yao Guang Method, but he does not have the foundation of Yao Guang, so he is very difficult to deal with."

He turned his head again: "But before he seizes power over the city of the Underworld, he will most likely be unable to disobey the Underworld's laws."

Su Youwan took two steps forward, extended her fair hand, and said, "My silk scarf."

Lu Changyuan then realized what was happening, took out her silk handkerchief from his pocket and returned it to her. The girl took it, wiped the corner of her mouth, and cleaned away the bright red blood: "What Underworld Lord's decree?"

Su Youwan was already extremely beautiful, but now that she was injured, she looked even more pitiful. Her silver hair seemed to be stained with blood, making the girl look somewhat broken.

Lu Changyuan touched Duan Nian and said, "Without an invitation, one must not trespass into a privately owned house."

This is another rule of the Underworld.

So when the cultivator named Li Lang trespassed into the house of a spirit, he was swallowed whole and died instantly.

The fourth-realm cultivator was quite clever; he knocked on the door and offered his blood in exchange for temporary accommodation.

Su Youwan retied her hair, thinking to herself that the fake Lu Changyuan had indeed knocked on the door, and only entered the house after she said "Come in."

The golden skeleton didn't pursue her further after she was driven back into the house, perhaps for this very reason.

Xiao Qingfeng cannot change the rules of the Underworld Kingdom for the time being.

Seeing that Lu Changyuan and Su Youwan both looked calm and collected even if Mount Tai collapsed, Mei Zhaozhao wondered if the two of them had some way to get out.

So she asked, "So, Xiao Qingfeng can't seize the power of the Underworld King?"

Lu Changyuan turned around and said with certainty, "No, he is very likely to succeed."

Once Xiao Qingfeng successfully takes over the entire Underworld Kingdom, he can naturally rewrite the laws of the Underworld Kingdom and abolish the laws of the Underworld King. At that time, even the house will not be safe.

Now the question is.

How long will it take for Xiao Qingfeng to take control of the Underworld?

Mei Zhaozhao simply said, "So what do we do now? Are we just going to wait here to die?"

Su Youwan looked at Lu Changyuan, and Mei Zhaozhao also looked at Lu Changyuan.

One was blindfolded, and the other was covered from head to toe in a black robe, so that neither of their eyes could be seen.

Lu Changyuan couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with these women who cultivated immortality.

Mei Zhaozhao said in a charming voice, "Young Master Lu, please think of a solution! Please speak up!"

Su Youwan thought Mei Zhaozhao was very noisy.

Chirping.

Like a bird.

Lu Changyuan sighed: "There are two ways. The first way is to take you out through a dead end before Xiao Qingfeng has fully taken control of the Underworld Kingdom. But to be honest, that's unlikely. Xiao Qingfeng is currently absorbing the Dao legacy of the Underworld King at the palace gate. It's unlikely that we can just walk over there openly."

Mei Zhaozhao stretched out her hand, her two fingers straight and white, without any nail polish, yet they seemed to have a magical allure that made people itch: "What's the second method?"

"Find the King of the Underworld."

If the Underworld King returns, Xiao Qingfeng will definitely not be able to take the country away.

How could a thief possibly defeat the owner of this place?

Lu Changyuan sighed again: "The Underworld Queen is definitely not dead, but I don't know her current condition."

The idea of ​​reincarnation is incredibly vague; at least Lu Changyuan has never seen a truly reincarnated person.

At most, it's either possession and rebirth, or a wisp of thought returning to the mortal world.

None of those people ever truly died. Just like Xia Lianxue, who even transformed into an infant, was she reincarnated?
of course not.

Lu Changyuan added, "We need to find a way to call her."

Mei Zhaozhao was completely confused.

But she realized one thing: she was most likely going to die here today.

She said miserably, "The Underworld has existed for three thousand years, but the King of the Underworld has never returned. Are we all going to die here today?"

The silver-haired girl said softly, "To live together and die together is not bad. Young Master Lu, how about you and Youwan get married first?"

What's going on?
Lu Changyuan was pondering where the Underworld Lord was when he suddenly heard such a sentence and couldn't help but look up at Su Youwan.

The silver-haired girl was blindfolded, but her tone was quite serious.

"Youwan is not joking with you."

"Let's get out of here alive first."

"it is good."

Mei Zhaozhao didn't understand. She felt like she was out of touch with reason. Even the most unrestrained Hehuan demoness wouldn't talk about getting married and consummating the marriage at this time.

Is she the Hehuan demoness, or is that silver-haired little Taoist nun the Hehuan demoness?

Mei Zhaozhao couldn't help but exclaim, "You...you?!"

Su Youwan said calmly, her voice ethereal: "You want to get married too? To die a virgin is a shameful thing for your Hehuan Sect, isn't it? Well, you came after me, so you can only be a concubine."

This is true.

Even for those who advocate for the elimination of desire and the harmony of Yin and Yang, dying as a virgin is still considered shameful.

Mei Zhaozhao gritted her teeth: "This servant has no intention of competing with the little master of Cihang Palace for a man."

The silver-haired girl remained expressionless, but her words were startling: "He's not my man either."

"Whose man is that?"

“Xia Lianxue’s.”

Mei Zhaozhao then remembered Xia Lianxue and said, "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! The fairy from Cihang Palace is even more enchanting than me."

Lu Changyuan said helplessly, "Third Prince, don't make such jokes. And you too, if you make any more jokes, I'll throw you out."

Su Youwan tilted her head blankly.

Quite cute.

But she didn't say anything.

Mei Zhaozhao took a deep breath and asked, puzzled, "Why are you all so calm? Isn't this a life-or-death moment?"

Su Youwan and Lu Changyuan spoke up almost simultaneously.

Lu Changyuan said, "The bigger the matter, the calmer you need to be, otherwise you'll die even faster."

The silver-haired girl said, "My master said that when faced with a major event, one must remain calm. Even if it means death, one must die calmly. Only in this way may one be able to find an opportunity in the moment before death."

Mei Zhaozhao felt that the two were very similar, while Lu Changyuan felt that what Su Youwan said sounded familiar.

Su Youwan said calmly, "If you have to die, would you rather die calmly and gracefully, or panic and die a miserable death?"

Distracted like this, Mei Zhaozhao strangely found herself no longer flustered.

The idea even arose that things would naturally straighten out when the bridge reaches the bow of the boat.
