Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Chapter 103 Jin Kui Reappears

A minor incident occurred inside the venue, and after Han Lifeng left, no one paid any more attention to it.

Zhang Feng also stopped laughing and transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Han, Nascent Soul cultivators are powerful; you've been wronged!"

Put yourself in Han Li's shoes; if Barbarian Beard were standing behind Zhang Feng like that, Zhang Feng would definitely run faster than Han Li.

"Thank you for your comfort, Fellow Daoist Zhang. Nascent Soul cultivators regard others as ants, and seeing this today, I can confirm that it is indeed true."

Han Li quickly changed his mood and communicated with Zhang Feng telepathically.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Han's calm and composed nature."

"Has that Old Demon of the Profound Bone already contacted Fellow Daoist Han?"

"That's right, Xuan Gu did send a telepathic message seeking cooperation, but this person is cunning, and I did not agree."

Han Li replied telepathically, then turned to Zhang Feng: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, in asking such a question, could it be that he had already contacted you beforehand?"

Han Li's thinking is still sharp, Zhang Feng nodded.

"He offered me the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, a spiritual medicine that increases the chances of Core Formation cultivators forming Nascent Souls, as payment for our collaboration."

"I see, one medicine for two purposes. This old demon Xuan Gu has certainly made a good plan."

Han Li understood and spoke up with slight anger.

"Not only that, but the Extreme Yin Old Demon and Wu Chou must have already set their sights on me."

"However, from what I observed just now, it seems that Fellow Daoist Han has also been targeted by the two of them, and the Old Demon Qiji Yin seems to care more about Fellow Daoist Han."

"Why don't we cooperate and help each other in secret? Whether it's Xuan Gu or Ji Yin, they are both inextricably linked to each other."

Zhang Feng now wants to secretly upgrade his cooperation with Han Li, moving from dealing with Xuan Gu to advancing and retreating together.

Both of them are now targets of extreme Yin, and they also share a common enemy.

Most importantly, Han Li will be led into the inner hall by Ji Yin, while Zhang Feng can follow Qing Yi into the inner hall.

As for Xuan Gu, it seems he'll soon be joining the Barbarian Beard's crew.

"Okay, then let's stick together this time."

Han Li fell into deep thought. He had met Zhang Feng once when Zhang Feng was in the Foundation Establishment stage, and they had fought each other twice after Zhang Feng reached the Core Formation stage.

He was quite familiar with Zhang Feng and considered him a cultivator worth cooperating with.

Since we've already agreed to deal with Xuan Gu, let's upgrade our strategy further and work together to resist Ji Yin and Xuan Gu.

Zhang Feng nodded upon hearing this, and agreed.

The struggles within the inner palace are quite interesting.

Clang! Clang!

Two chimes.

A pavilion, several meters wide, suddenly rose from the ground, exceeding the height of all the stone pillars, and stood tall in the center of the many stone pillars.

At this moment, three golden streaks of light crossed the long passage and landed in the pavilion.

The many cultivators who had been sitting upright slowly rose and looked at the three figures in the pavilion.

As the golden light dissipated, three cultivators emerged from it.

One woman and two men.

Zhang Feng's gaze swept over her, and the female cultivator was indeed Zi Ling. In recent years, since carrying out the mission of Jin Kui, the Grand Elder of the Star Palace, Zhang Feng had not returned to Tianxing City.

It is unknown how the Miaoyin Sect has fared since losing him as a guest elder.

But judging from today's situation, this woman must have firmly bound herself to the Star Palace Chariot.

Zi Ling bowed to Jin Kui and the other person before leaving the pavilion.

Zi Ling scanned the area below and spotted two familiar figures, which filled her with joy.

Zhang Feng didn't notice Zi Ling's actions, focusing his attention on the two Star Palace elders.

As soon as Jin Kui entered, his divine sense lingered on Zhang Feng for a moment.

Zhang Feng was very familiar with that feeling; it seemed that Elder Jin Kui was about to assign another task.

No, the rewards from the last mission haven't been distributed yet, so I have to stay far away this time.

Elder Jia bowed to Jin Kui, then addressed the assembled cultivators: "Due to the two Holy Lords' seclusion, Elder Jin Kui and I are here on behalf of the Star Palace to oversee and preside over this trip to the Void Heaven Palace."

.

"The rules remain unchanged. The three officials of the outer hall are forbidden from engaging in private duels. Anyone who bullies the weak, kills, or steals treasures may be killed first and reported later."

"If any escapees are caught, the Star Palace will issue a warrant for their arrest once they leave this place."

"As for the inner palace, the Star Palace will not enter or interfere."

"Therefore, gentlemen, if you are not confident, please stop at the outer hall!"

Elder Jia finished speaking.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths snorted coldly, showing no respect.

Clearly, they were aware of the Star Palace's shady dealings.

However, many cultivators present were unaware of what was going on and only felt that the Star Palace was majestic and orderly.

"Kid, you'd better be careful. Don't trust what Xinggong says too easily."

"Every time the Void Heaven Palace opens, many cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths die mysteriously."

"I've heard that—"

Xuan Gu, whose mouth had been silenced by Zhang Feng's words, spoke again to transmit his voice.

when!when!when!

As the bells rang three times, a golden gate suddenly opened.

"I'll take my leave first. The three outer palaces will be randomly teleported. If you can't even pass the first level, then there's no need to talk to me about cooperation."

""

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xuan Gu had already flown away.

The outer hall is opened.

In an instant, several figures flew towards the gate.

In a short while, there were very few cultivators left in the hall.

Just as Zhang Feng was about to leave, he was stopped by a telepathic message.

"Zhang Feng, it seems you left something with me that you haven't retrieved!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Here you go, take it!"

"Be careful, don't die in the outer three gates."

"Also, you'd better remember the long-term task I gave you."

After all the cultivators had entered the gate, Jin Kui took out a scroll and tossed it to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng reached out and took it, probing it with his divine sense; it was indeed a map.

"Alright, let's go. Remember what I said."

Jin Kui waved his hand, signaling Zhang Feng to leave.

Zhang Feng bowed respectfully and, without pausing, quickly entered the gate.

"Elder, why are you so concerned about this person?"

Elder Jia asked cautiously.

"Heh, a junior has some connection with this person, and as an elder, I'm just offering some help."

Jin Kui answered casually.

"Alright, let's go in too. It'll be a good opportunity to see how these old ghosts fight and kill each other!"

"Hahaha~"

The two left behind a burst of laughter and disappeared through the golden door.

After all the cultivators have entered.

The stone pillars and pavilions in the hall instantly began to change and close together, eventually closing completely.

The teleportation array flashed, and Zhang Feng appeared in a place shrouded in ghostly mist.

-

After accepting the map scroll, Zhang Feng rubbed his forehead.

It was somewhat unexpected that Jin Kui would voluntarily distribute the reward.

However, Zhang Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon obtaining this item, as it provided guidance and prevented him from wandering aimlessly.

Then, Zhang Feng looked at the place shrouded in ghostly mist and smiled slightly.

Although there are still quite a few Soul Pearls left, who would complain about having too many of these cultivation resources!

Moreover, he also had two Star Frogs that loved to eat Soul Beads.

Zhang Feng then summoned Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong and placed them on his left and right shoulders.

The ghostly mist devours spirits; magical artifacts are needed to defend against it.

Zhang Feng took out the Yin Thunder Pearl and unleashed it outside his body, where various low-level Yin spirits and ghostly shadows wandered and bumped past.

Low-level ghostly spirits were useless to Zhang Feng and could not harm him.

Zhang Feng ignored it.

On the contrary, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong had the leisure to stick out their tongues from time to time, wrapping up a ghostly shadow and sucking it into their stomachs.

It seems to be a snack after a meal.

Zhang Feng was not surprised. In the Netherworld, the two beasts had consumed countless Netherworld Beast Souls, but no abnormalities had occurred.
