spital.The cemetery is on the side, no matter how careful the construction was, it violated the yin and yang balance, easily attracting evil spirits. This can cause people living in the house to suffe...Mu Wanchen was so close to me, but he couldn't hear my voice.

What is the witch trying to do The bead feels cold and lifeless in my palm.

She didn't continue, lifting her staff towards the sky. The once dull and insignificant bead on top suddenly blazed with brilliance.

The dark clouds in the sky were like galloping steeds, vast and endless.

The moonlight was blocked, and the brilliance of the entire world rapidly dimmed, leaving only the eerie glow emitted from the staff in her hand.

"When it comes to the essence of heaven and earth, you younger immortals are merely showing off in front of the master's door… If I don't give you a lesson, you'll all think you can be arrogant in front of me…" The Witch Maiden's voice became somewhat terrifying.

This was not her usual speaking voice, but rather a tone of authority laced with a chillingly cold laugh.

Her scepter stirred the nebula, above her, a thick, dark cloud rolled and converged to form a swirling vortex that obscured the sky.

Just now, the moonlight was like snow and the waves reflected like prisms.

Now it has become pitch black.

"That, what's that..." The little boy clutched Mu Wanchen's sword-drawing hand nervously.

I followed the child's gaze and saw something unusual in the sky.

Those intense ink-colored clouds gradually formed a strange void... no, no, it couldn't be called a void. It was more like something was being pulled upwards by a force, forming a black hole. Around the black hole, there was a layer of white light.

It looks like a massive halo, inside the halo is a reversed whirlpool, and outside the halo are boundless dark clouds.

"Could it be the celestial phenomena caused by the witch's magic" I murmured to myself.

To be honest, this shaman can turn her hand into clouds and the other into rain. If we go into the sea, she might kill us there! It would be suicide.

"What are you daydreaming about, get moving! The passage is open!" Ji Dou Xingjun's voice suddenly woke us up.

“Come.” Mu Wanchen held me with one hand, the chain in his palm connected to my wrist, and he carried a sword in the other. He pushed the little boy, who reacted quickly and pulled down a large gourd from his back and flew away.

Mu Wanchen hugged me and jumped off the cliff. A mass of grayish-white mist caught us, it was that fox demon whose tail I had torn off.

" "Wànchen, what's that" I couldn't help but pat Mù Wànchen on the shoulder.

The white halo gradually expanded, growing so large that its boundaries were nearly invisible! What a stunning celestial phenomenon!

"Don't worry about that! Run, the power of Yin is weakening, and the Emperor's passage won't hold much longer!" Ji Dou roared impatiently.

Ji Dou Xing Jun seemed carefree and rebellious, acting whimsically and freely. Yet, he was very loyal. While urging us on, he himself stayed behind to cover our retreat, flying a short distance behind us and constantly looking back at the witch-woman.

"What channel" I asked. "Aren't we supposed to cross the Sea of Suffering with the power of Kunling"

"That would likely be intercepted by the sea witch's control over the ocean's power, so Master opened a temporary passage using the power of the underworld on the side of the Bitter Sea. This is Master's soul lock, and the other end is in the sea." Mu Wanchen explained quickly.

"Well…I think the shaman wouldn't force us to stay…" I clutched the small stone in my hand.

"Why"

"She just said in my head, 'Let me go again,' and then she said what conditions, and then gave me this..." I slightly spread my hands to show Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen frowned, his expression hesitant.

What conditions did she say

"I don't know! That's all she said! Do witches always avoid the important stuff and just talk around it" I was getting a little anxious.

"Come on! Why are you stopping! Don't you want to live!" Ji Du Xing Jun's voice carried a frantic edge I had never heard before.

Would he also get restless

I looked up at him, his eyes still bright in the darkness. But the deeply furrowed brows told a story that even he couldn't ignore.

"This is the Taiyin Youying, the divine beast Taiyin Youying! Do you understand!" he roared at me.

Mù Wǎn Chén immediately urged the fox demon carrying us, “ …Use your fastest speed to rush in, as long as you can ensure Yin Luó returns safely, I will take you in as a servant, give you a name and surname, allowing you to walk the righteous path.”

The fox demon let out a low howl and quickly charged forward, taking us with it.

But the black clouds behind us drifted down from the sky, like claws pulling us back.

The fox demon's magical power was even stronger during this chaotic time. It struggled to break free from the billowing smoke clouds and dashed towards the seaside.

Lohu Xingjun crossed his legs and twirled his fingers, sitting in the void. He seemed like a barrier, separating the space before and behind him.

The sea parted, revealing the rocks and foothills. A vast, shimmering gateway to a ghostly realm appeared there.

The door was adorned with a wrathful deity, its fangs bared. A sliver of the door gaped open, and the other end of a silver chain hung inside.

"The divine beast Taiyin Youying vanished over two thousand years ago, disappearing even from the world's scriptures. It turned out that it was summoned here by the divine shamans…" The Emperor's voice echoed from behind the Ghost-God Gate.

It turns out Master didn't come over. He's over there fishing for us.

"This doesn't look like a divine 'beast'... How could that huge halo and black hole in the sky possibly be a 'beast'"

“The sun, Zhúzhào, and the moon, Yōuying, were two divine beasts from ancient myths. In the beliefs of ancient shamanistic priests, Zhúzhào and Yōuying gave birth to the Four Symbols divine beasts, and the Four Symbols then gave rise to all kinds of wondrous mythical and mundane creatures... We've only ever heard about these things, but now we've actually seen them with our own eyes. It's been worth the trip.” Jìdù Xīngjūn rushed behind Luóhóu Xīngjūn's barrier, let out a breath of relief, and regained his fearless demeanor.

Lohou Xingjun's closed eyes flew open, and I vaguely saw a white light enter his pupils.

His eyes were cold and sharp: "Stop talking nonsense. If you act so carelessly again, take care of yourself! Don't expect me to save you for these trivial matters anymore! Luckily, this is just a warning from the witch. Otherwise, with the size and reach of this Taiyin Youying in the heavens, it could devour everything within its sight. Where would you even run to"

Ji Dou Xingjun rubbed his nose, snorted coldly without answering, and jumped into the shimmering portal floating on the sea first.

What lay behind that door, I had no idea. All I felt was a growing sense of bone-chilling cold as I drew nearer.

This chill pierces to the bone, inescapable and relentless, even resistance against it is futile.

Death.

Mortals can never withstand the power.

"Me, should I go in too" I suddenly felt a little scared.

If this is the Master's gate to the underworld, would you die if you went through it

I don't have a special physique like my little junior wife with spiritual protection. I still need to protect my own baby! learn to control your emotions and strength. Don't create such a huge divine tiger again." His icy fingers brushed over my fingertips.My mind was elsewhere, yet his breath brushed lightly against my...
