Chapter 256: Hiding the Mystic Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"It's the Yin River of the Underworld!" Zhu Ming exclaimed. The Yin River of the Underworld had no form or figure, and was omnipresent. It did not affect the ghosts or ghost immortals in the Underworld, but it would swallow every other soul whole. "Please be careful, everyone. This Yin River is changing every second. Sorcery cannot detect it."

When he finished speaking, he tossed a weird look at the lazy woman standing behind Yi Qing on the sword. "This Fellow Daoist... can see the Yin River?"

"Her eyes are different from ours!" Lonemoon gave an unexplainable look to Zhu Ming. One had to take time to get used to the cheat's eyes. "Let's hurry along. It's so dark in here, we'll never know what else is hidden!"

"We're not far – it's just ahead." Zhu Ming pointed in front of them and they carried on flying.

Shen Ying, however, hesitated and looked around. Was it that dark in here? It was all golden to her, and even kind of blinding! Of course, apart from that black river that was floating in the mid-air.

The group did not fly for long before they saw a house floating in the middle of nowhere. All around was thick Yin Qi. The cave was much smaller than Long Zhen's palace on the Wu Qi Mountain. It stood as a lone house.

They did not know why the Yin Qi was so strong. For some reason, there were also fewer travelling souls around. It was so quiet that they could hear footsteps of the few people below.

"This is it." They landed in front of the house. Zhu Ming seemed to be very familiar with the surroundings. He waved his hand and the door to the hall opened. He helped Mother Feng, who was still staring blankly into space, onto a seat in the hall.

The hall was empty. They could see every corner of it. Apart from fur chairs, there was nothing else.

"There is a little yard at the back. The two of you can go there and take a look," Zhu Ming suggested.

"Yi Qing, go to the back and take a look. I'm going to set up an array to look for Shortie's aura," Lonemoon instructed.

Yi Qing nodded, turning around and walking out the back door of the hall. Lonemoon walked to the middle and released his divine perception. Immediately, the entire cave appeared in his perception. He activated his immortal Qi and began to set up an array.

As if wanting nothing further to do with them, Zhu Ming did not offer any help. Instead, he remained seated beside Mother Feng.

Shen Ying was the only one who had nothing to do. She sat down on another chair. Since she was bored, she pulled a fruit out and began to chew on it out of habit. Except, she retrieved it with a little too much strength, so that another fruit fell out. It rolled on the floor.

She bent over to pick it up, but a pair of pale hands that had no sign of any life picked it up before she could. Mother Feng, who had been sitting on the chair staring into space the entire time, stared at the fruit in her hands, then looked at Shen Ying. She reached out and handed the fruit to Shen Ying, grinning. "Heh heh..."

Shen Ying tilted her head and received the fruit. "Thank you."

Mother Feng continued to stare at the fruit in Shen Ying's hand with her bleeding eyes. Shen Ying heard the sound of blood dripping onto the floor and shivered.
