The old house was located in the center of the underground. Glowing stones were embedded in the rock walls, like the stars in the night sky.
From time to time, Yin Souls would appear around them. These Yin Souls didn't seem to have gained sentience. They were just wandering around aimlessly. There were also many rotten corpses wandering around. There were animal corpses and human corpses. Perhaps this was what the legendary hell looked like.
Luo Kai looked around, his eyes flashing. Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the house and said in surprise, "It's you?"
A female voice replied from the house, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
An elegant middle-aged woman appeared. Her appearance and behavior were exactly the same as a human's. The only difference was that her eyes emitted a green light.
"Hello, Luo Kai. We meet again."
Luo Kai frowned. He had seen this woman before. Earlier on Venus, which was the Realm of Shattered Spirit, it was this woman who led him back to Earth.
Now, he could sort out everything that had happened in the past. He could analyze the related parties and karma in detail. This woman had changed her appearance and interacted with him more than once.
At first, she was called Wang Lan. She was the mother of a mother and daughter he saved in Wuchuan where the Tuoba family was located. It seemed that the creatures of the underworld had already started to contact him.
The woman walked over lightly and smiled sweetly, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Jiuyuan. I belong to the Succubus Clan, one of the twenty-four branches of the Ghost Clan.
The creatures of the Yang World like to call me Ghost Mother of Mount Li. The creatures of the underworld call me Madam Jiuyuan. Hmm … you can call me Ghost Mother. I think you have already gone to the Evil Inn. That girl Ye Tong must have invited you to join the Pantheon Temple. "
Luo Kai collected his thoughts and said indifferently, "What is your purpose?"
Ghost Mother said seriously, "Any powerful life form in the Yin World and the Yang World will receive an invitation from the Pantheon Temple. I am a subordinate of the Pantheon Temple. I am responsible for finding powerful life forms to join. Originally, you were not qualified …"
As he spoke, he paused and sized up Luo Kai's soul from head to toe. Even in the underworld, there were differences in beauty and ugliness. The lowest level of hungry ghosts were ugly and deformed. As they evolved, they would become more and more beautiful, and their temperament would also become more and more unique. It was different from the feminine and masculine aesthetic, and was a neutral and evil beauty.
The more beautiful a creature was, the more powerful it was. This was the law of heaven and earth. The Starlight Soul Body in front of him was extremely beautiful. He reckoned that no one in the Underworld could compare to it.
For a moment, she was a little shaken. After a while, she continued with a smile, "You are now qualified. Now that the Yin and Yang Realms are clashing, it is a huge disaster for both the Yang Realm and the Underworld. The Evil Gods of the Yang Realm have invaded the Underworld, plundering and pillaging everywhere, trying to change the rules of heaven and earth. The Ghost Gods of the Underworld will also invade your Yang Realm. I don't need to say how serious the consequences will be. The purpose of our Pantheon Temple is to protect and regulate the order of the two realms, to protect the peace of the two realms."
Luo Kai was silent for a moment and said with a cold face, "I'm not interested in world peace. Instead, I'm interested in whether you will die or not."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed forward.
Before Luo Kai's words fell, the woman felt a huge sense of crisis. Her face changed greatly, and her body exploded out of thin air, turning into countless light spots that scattered in all directions.
At this time, the matter in the cave began to decompose. It began to spread rapidly from Luo Kai's feet to the house. After approaching the old house, there was a loud bang, and heaven and earth shook. It was as if two invisible forces had collided.
Luo Kai cautiously retracted his hand. Finally, there was a force that stopped him from decomposing matter. Otherwise, if it continued, everything around him would be annihilated. This was the power of the mind to control matter. Now, it was not only limited to use, but also to return it to a scattered microscopic atomic state, which was to return it to nothing.
However, this house was not ordinary. It was not a matter in the ordinary sense. It was as if it had a life of its own and could resist the invasion of his mind.
Ghost Mother's figure appeared on the wall of the old house. She said angrily, "Stinking brat, you don't know what's good for you. If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish." After saying that, she clapped her hands heavily. A strong stench instantly covered the entire underground space.
It was impossible to describe how smelly it was. In short, Luo Kai's soul seemed to be unable to withstand it. The starlight that made up his soul flickered non-stop. This was an attack that he had never encountered before. It seemed to be a kind of polluting power. Not only could it pollute material objects, but it could also pollute one's mind.
Sure enough, compared to the material world, the creatures of the underworld were better at attacking the mind.
Seeing that Luo Kai was no longer moving, Ghost Mother landed with a smile. She laughed and said, "This house of mine was built with the remains of the ten-thousand-year-old Undead King. It can restrain gods and sever souls. It can pollute all things. Even the gods would not dare to be arrogant. Stinking brat, no matter how strong you are, you still have to drink the water that this old lady uses to wash her feet. After eating you, this old lady will have a chance to become a Demon God!"
The little girl also appeared with a look of joy on her face. She kicked Luo Kai's still soul body and said, "Grandma, I'm going to eat him one bite at a time today!"
The first woman also appeared. She shook her head and said, "This brat's body is full of treasures. We can't waste them."
"Then senior sister, what do you think we should do?"
"That will depend on grandma."
Ghost Mother bent down and said, "Hmm, let's suck his soul dry first. When he dies, we will eat his consciousness and memory. Who knows, maybe we can find a way to become a God!"
The little girl hurriedly nodded. She could not wait to grow two fangs. She opened her mouth and bit Luo Kai.
At this moment, a trace of blood-red evil spirit suddenly rose from Luo Kai's soul. It quickly turned from red to black and spread all over his body. It turned into layers of black flames and burned fiercely.
The little girl immediately screamed when she came into contact with a trace of the evil spirit. The part of her body that came into contact with the evil spirit turned into a puff of smoke. Then, half of her head was burned.
"Ah … What is this!"
Ghost Mother's face darkened. "What a powerful evil spirit. This brat must have been a butcher when he was alive. It seems that we have to wait until his protective evil spirit is exhausted. Zhu 'er, take away his weapon."
The little girl hugged half of her face. She was very angry. She gritted her teeth and dragged the peach wood sword away from the ground. Then, she walked around Luo Kai and asked, "I remember he had a little snake. Where did it go?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's keep an eye on him. This brat is strange. He didn't die even after being hit by the evil spirit. His consciousness can even automatically trigger the evil spirit to protect himself."
The little girl threw the peach wood sword into a huge crack, then hurriedly returned and anxiously waited.
An hour later, the black protective evil spirit flame still showed no sign of being extinguished. Instead, it attracted endless evil spirit power from the mountain stream, burning more and more vigorously. Ghost Mother's face turned darker and darker.
A while later, she gritted her teeth and said, "No, this brat is strange. He seems to be able to use the Chaos power. I'm afraid he has withstood the evil spirit's explosion. I need to activate the Thousand Ghosts Great Formation and attract the help of the evil spirits from the Hell Dao."
The little girl's face was also a little frightened. She hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, this is our territory. The Thousand Ghosts Great Formation can kill him."
Ghost Mother hurriedly took out a few white bones from her pocket and tossed them into the air. At the same time, a gray mist began to gather at a rapid speed. Shrill howls could be heard coming from the mist, and one after another, strange, shadowy lifeforms began to appear.
Ghost Mother let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I think this human is small …"
Before she finished speaking, Luo Kai suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were burning with a faint black flame. The black flame around him turned into a black tornado, sweeping out in all directions.
Ghost Mother was frightened and shouted, "Zhu 'er, run!" Then, she immediately jumped into the surrounding mist.
The little girl's body had already disappeared in the mist. She was even more afraid of Luo Kai. She ran as soon as she saw something wrong.
