Chapter 2049: Lord of the Netherworld and Penglai Immortal Talisman

The figure that appeared was a young man, dressed in green clothes and with a handsome face.

He has long flowing brown hair, and his eyes are as bright as stars. There is no aura of cultivation coming from his body, but it gives people a feeling of vastness like an abyss.

The rough middle-aged man struck with an axe, and when he saw this young man, his body trembled suddenly.

The expressions of the old man and the green-haired middle-aged man also changed wildly, and then they both bowed down.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Why, why are the three elders so angry?" the young man said with a soft voice and a smile on his face.

The rugged middle-aged man put away his ax and hurriedly knelt down, "This subordinate didn't know that the Lord was coming, so he boldly offended me. Please forgive me, Lord."

The rugged middle-aged man knew that the Lord's cultivation had reached an unreachable level. It was impossible for the Lord to come from the Black Sea Passage. There was only a clone of him in front of him, but even so, he still possessed supreme majesty.

"Everyone, get up."

The young man waved lightly, always with a smile on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze.

The three elders' hearts trembled and they stood up with respectful expressions.

The First Elder glanced at the stone platform in the palace, then looked at Gu Qian, and said: "Your Majesty, Fairy Gu wantonly let go of the souls in the palace. This matter will affect our clan's plans. We have no intention of offending, but this matter will eventually end." There is an explanation, otherwise I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be chilled in the future..."

"I already know about this, you don't need to talk about it anymore." The young man waved his hand, interrupting the great elder's words.

"But..." The great elder opened his mouth, but did not dare to say any more. He just looked at Gu Qian with a faint coldness in his eyes.

The green-haired middle-aged man and the rugged middle-aged man felt the majesty of the Lord and did not dare to speak any more. They bowed their heads and remained silent.

Lord Netherworld smiled and looked to the side, his expression extremely soft, "Are you okay?"

Gu Qian frowned slightly, dispersed the sword in her hand, shook her head slightly and said, "I'm fine."

Her expression was very calm, but there was a touch of indifference and disgust in her eyes that others could not detect.

"It's fine." Lord Netherworld smiled and nodded. His temperament was as gentle as jade. He didn't look like an overlord, but rather like a gentle scholar.

He looked at the three old men and said: "I know that the three elders are concerned about our clan's big plans, but with these three elders, what is the purpose of our clan's arrangement of the Netherworld Formation?"

The three people's eyes flashed, and they looked at each other for a moment. The great elder then said: "My clan has set up the Netherworld Formation to break through the barrier of Penglai Immortal Island, so that our clan can set foot in the immortal world, and our clan members can gain immortality."

"In order to set up this formation, our clan has spent countless efforts, and the Lord has spent thousands of years cultivating it. Now that the formation is about to be completed, there is one missing soul, and all the efforts have been wasted!"

The great elder's voice was low and his face was full of unwillingness.

Why didn't he hate Gu Qian? It was just the Lord who protected her, so how could they dare to commit such crimes?

"The Great Elder is right. We set up the Netherworld Formation for Penglai Immortal Island, but now we no longer need this formation." Lord Netherworld smiled lightly and said.

The three were shocked when they heard this.

"Don't you need the Netherworld Formation?"

"I wonder what the Lord means by these words?"

The three of them said in unison, their faces full of confusion.

In order to set up this magic circle, the Nether Clan spent almost all their resources, but now the Lord said that there is no need to use this magic circle. You can imagine how they feel in their hearts.

Lord Netherworld chuckled lightly, and a light appeared in his hand.

The three of them looked up if they felt something. They saw a crescent-shaped jade talisman suspended in mid-air, exuding an ancient and profound aura.

"This is?"

The three of them looked at the talisman with surprise and doubt on their faces.

"This is the Penglai Immortal Talisman." Lord Netherworld said: "The Penglai Immortal Talisman is the key to unlocking the restrictions on Penglai Immortal Island. With this talisman, you can find Penglai Immortal Island and open it. However, the Penglai Immortal Talisman was broken in the early stage. It was divided into eight pieces, and now I have this piece, which is just one of them.”

"Penglai Immortal Talisman!"

The three of them looked shocked.

The Great Elder said in disbelief: "I didn't expect there to be such secrets in Penglai Immortal Island, but where are the other seven immortal talismans?"

According to what the Lord just said, since the Penglai Immortal Talisman has been broken, in order to open the restriction on the Immortal Island, it is obvious that other immortal talismans must be gathered together.

The green-haired middle-aged man and the rugged middle-aged man also looked at the Nether Lord in confusion.

"Other immortal talismans are scattered in all walks of life and are obtained by different destined people. They will eventually come to the Black Sea." Lord Netherworld put away the Penglai immortal talisman and said with a soft smile.

The three elders were moved.

It turns out that there is another way to open the ban on Penglai Immortal Island. If this is the case, it would be great to be able to set up the Netherworld Formation without spending so much energy.

"At this time, I have sensed that other people holding immortal talismans have also appeared one after another. They will soon gather at Penglai Immortal Island. You go down and prepare separately. When the time is right, we will set off to the Immortal Island." Lord Netherworld commanded.

The three of them looked at each other, with excitement shining in their eyes. They nodded and said in unison: "Yes! I will obey the Lord's order."

After saying that, they retreated together.

Lord Netherworld put his hands behind his back and watched them leave.

The Hades Temple became quiet, and he then looked at Gu Qian with a gentle smile on his face: "Sorry, I'm a little late."

Gu Qian lowered her head slightly, with mixed emotions in her eyes, like indifference and disgust, with a touch of fear, and then said: "It doesn't matter."

Lord Netherworld looked at her, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch her face. But when his hand was about to touch her face, it stopped in mid-air and then took it back.

He just looked at Gu Qian, and sighed in his heart, how could there be such a flawless face in the world, so perfect that he couldn't even bear to touch it, such a perfect woman, should only exist in heaven.

"The person who came here to take away the soul is your friend, right?" The Lord of the Netherworld smiled and said.

Gu Qian was shocked.

She looked at the Lord of the Netherworld in shock and kept silent.

"I feel a different breath here. They can come here because you gave them the Nether God Pearl, right?" The Lord of the Netherworld smiled at her, and his star-like eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Gu Qian suddenly felt cold in her body. What kind of eyes were so scary?

"Yes, I gave them the Nether God Pearl."

Gu Qian looked at the Lord of the Netherworld and said, "If you want to kill me, you can do it at any time."

The Lord of the Netherworld smiled and said, "Why should I kill you."

"I betrayed you, gave them the Nether God Pearl, and let the soul here go. Don't you want to kill me?" Gu Qian said.

The Nether Lord looked at her calmly, his smile still undiminished, and said: "You and I will become Taoist partners, how could I kill you?"

After a pause, he continued with a smile: "I came to the Black Sea this time, in addition to opening the Penglai Fairy Island, to hold a dual cultivation ceremony with you. We have postponed this for a long time. Now the time has come, it is time to complete this matter."

Gu Qian was shocked.

Even when she faced his eyes that saw through everything just now, she did not feel so scared.

Although she knew that such a day would come sooner or later, was it inevitable after all?

The Nether Lord looked at Gu Qian with a smile, and said nothing more, but those eyes as bright as stars seemed to have a hint of depth that could swallow everything.

"Let's go, follow me out of here."

After a long time, the Nether Lord spoke calmly, and then turned and walked out of the Nether God Temple.

Gu Qian was trembling physically and mentally, but tried her best to show that she was calm and followed the Nether Lord.

...

In the deep sea whirlpool, Ye Chunyang and his party appeared again.

Looking back at the deep whirlpool sweeping across the sea, Ye Chunyang's eyes revealed a complex meaning.

This trip to the Netherworld Clan's stronghold seemed peaceful, but he felt a surge of undercurrents from it.

Nie Xin's drastic change, Gu Qian's forbearance, and the strict vigilance of the Netherworld Clan, all of these seemed unusual.

"It's a pity that we didn't find out why the Netherworld Clan set up the Netherworld array against our clan on this trip." The turtle demon said unwillingly as his body floated in the sea water.

Ye Chunyang was silent.

He thought he could find out some things from the Netherworld Clan and rescue Gu Qian on this trip, but the facts were beyond his expectations.

"Brother Turtle, don't be angry. With the auras that appeared just now, their cultivation is not weak. If we meet them, we will certainly have some chances of winning, but Fairy Gu carefully planned for us to rescue people. If our identities are exposed, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to her." The Cang Luan demon said on the side. Although it is a demon beast, its intelligence is not lower than that of humans, and it can see through what happened just now.

The turtle demon nodded. Of course he understood this.

"I didn't expect that the Netherworld Clan would also set up the Netherworld Array in other places?"

At this moment, a voice sounded, and the green jade bottle in Ye Chunyang's hand shone. It was Nie Xin who spoke.

"Fairy, do you know about the Netherworld Array?" The turtle demon asked in surprise.

"I've heard Sister Gu say something about it." Nie Xin said.

The turtle demon's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked: "How much does the fairy know about this? Can you tell me?"

Ye Chunyang also looked at the jade bottle with doubt. Nie Xin had been detained in the Netherworld Clan for many years, and she should know some news.

Nie Xin was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know the details, but from what Sister Gu said, the Netherworld Clan seems to have set up many Netherworld Arrays in the Black Sea, absorbing spiritual energy from all over the place, and capturing many souls at the same time, in order to set up some kind of large array."

"Absorbing spiritual energy and detaining souls?" Everyone was surprised, "Why do they do this?"

"They want to use this to open the barrier of Penglai Fairy Island." Nie Xin answered.

The turtle demon and others were puzzled when they heard this. They had never heard of Penglai Island.

However, Ye Chunyang was a little surprised when he heard this.

Penglai Island, he had the honor to see it when he was in the human world. The Brahma Golden Holy Lotus on his body was obtained from there. Could it be that there is also Penglai Island in the spirit world?

I just don’t know if the two are the same?

He thought about it in his heart, but did not think deeply about it. Instead, he asked Nie Xin another question in his heart: "What is Gu Qian's identity in the Netherworld Clan? Why is she unwilling to leave there?"
