Chapter 4106 Black and White Underworld People

Seeing how angry Old Li was, everyone went over to persuade him to calm down.

This can be considered as giving the old man a way out.

I've already kowtowed and apologized. If Old Li still doesn't appreciate it, then he'll be being a bit pretentious.

Surely he can't really expel me from the sect? I'm the only one in our Qimen lineage. If he expels me, he'll truly be all alone. He'll definitely know what's good for him when it matters.

After being persuaded by everyone, and with a string of compliments from the slovenly Taoist priest, Old Li's anger finally subsided a bit.

He looked at me again, snorted coldly, and said, "You brat, I'll settle this score with you later."

"Master, I know I was wrong. I'm injured now. Once I've recovered, you can do whatever you want with me." I said in a very obedient manner.

Old Li glared at me but didn't say anything.

Seeing an opportunity, the disheveled Taoist priest continued, "Senior Li, you were truly amazing just now! I've never seen such a swift and effortless move in my life. Those two Dukes of Guanxiong Kingdom, with their profound cultivation, chased us all the way, leaving us battered and bruised. But you made a move as if it were child's play, subduing them and making them kneel and beg for mercy. The key is that you even dealt with that little evil cultivator who was about to fall into demonic possession. Otherwise, we would all be dead here."

Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Old Li's face, his slightly upturned lips even harder to suppress than AK's.

"Of course, Senior Li. With just a little effort, everything can be turned from bad to good. There are very few people in the world with such great abilities." Zhang Qing'an also flattered him.

"Yes, yes, Senior Li is definitely a top-tier master of our time," Master Zhiqing added.

Li Chao stood to the side like a block of wood. Master Zhiqing nudged him, signaling him to hurry up and flatter him.

After holding it in for a long time, Li Chao finally managed to say just two words: "Awesome!"

Seeing that everyone was making Old Man Li very happy, I shamelessly approached him and said with a fawning expression, "Master, what brings you here? Did you come here specifically to save us?"

As soon as I spoke, Old Li glanced at me sideways and said, "You're really overthinking things. I'm just here in this Netherworld to take care of some business. I just happened to run into you guys. You're lucky."

The disheveled Taoist priest spoke again: "Senior Li, we went to the Fire Domain to help True Person Zhiqing and Li Chao find the Zhaoyao Wood. We originally planned to leave from the Fire Domain, but they forced us all the way to this Netherworld. We heard from True Person Wuwei that we can only return through the Yin-Yang Realm, but we don't know where that is. Since you've come here on business, you must have a way to get back. We'll have to trouble you to lead us out of here, otherwise we definitely won't leave."

"Yes, senior, we were completely lost and struggling to move forward. Only you could lead us to safety," Zhang Qing'an added.

"Then you've come to the right place. Alright, I'll take you away from here now." Old Li seemed to be in a good mood and waved to us.

I took two pills from Xue Family Pharmacy, and my body has recovered somewhat. Furthermore, because I devoured a vampire before, my body's recovery speed is extraordinary. Although I am still injured, I can walk around without any problems now.

As Old Li walked, he said to us, “From now on, you will all follow behind me. Wherever I go, you will go. This is the transition zone to the Netherworld, a forest. Some black and white Netherworld people live here. They are neither human nor beast nor ghost. They are creatures that prevent living people from entering the real Netherworld. They are a group of strong but brainless beings. Although they are strong, they are not very smart. Try not to come into contact with them and just avoid them.”

We were all very obedient, following closely behind Old Li without uttering a word, as we quickly traversed the black and white forest.

I followed behind the old man, always wanting to say something to him, to try and get closer to him, but I thought he was still angry with me. Several times the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them back.

After walking for a short while, the old man in front stopped and looked into the old woods ahead.

I followed his gaze and saw several enormous creatures appear in the old forest. They looked extremely ferocious and were very large, like demons.

"Master, are these the Black and White Underworld People?" I asked in a low voice.

The old man nodded slightly: "That's right, just don't make any noise, just go around it..."

The old man waved his hand, signaling us to quicken our pace and continue following him.

Our group moved quickly through the black and white forest, and it felt like we had been walking for a long time. My body was also recovering rapidly.

It was pitch black here, with no starlight or moonlight. Everything was dim and deathly silent. If we weren't cultivators, walking in such a ghostly place would be terrifying enough to kill us.

I might have had some worries before, but now that my master is here, he is my pillar of support.

As long as my master is here, I feel that there is nothing in this world I have to be afraid of.

My master always sheltered me from the wind and rain. He even helped me avoid two heavenly tribulations when I was a child. Heaven knows what terrible karma he endured for shielding me from those two tribulations.

As I watched my master's retreating figure, I felt a strange pang of sorrow. Thinking back to how I had almost betrayed my master and ancestors, I felt a deep sense of remorse.

And so, we followed behind our master for a very long time, and saw several groups of black and white ghosts.

It seemed as if Master knew in advance where they were, and he always managed to lead us out of their sight.

This weird place... I feel like this old man knows it very well; he must have been here more than once.

I remember once I went through a tribulation and almost died, but this old man pulled me back from the brink of death.

I really don't know how many secrets this old man is hiding, or how many amazing skills he hasn't passed on to me.

When I get back this time, I'll have to squeeze some more money out of Old Li.

We followed Old Li for a long time, and before we knew it, we had walked out of this black and white forest.

But the situation ahead was even more terrifying, feeling like a living hell.

As soon as they stepped out of the black and white forest, a strong stench of blood wafted over them. Blood flowed across the ground, and as far as the eye could see, there were piles of mutilated corpses.

Moreover, the air was filled with a putrid stench that made people want to vomit, and a menacing aura quickly enveloped us.
