Han Li nodded and said, "Since you've considered everything, I'll go with you and take a look. We'll discuss the rest according to the actual situation."
"Thank you, Friend Han. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is extremely magical. It will definitely be of great help to you." Gui Wu was overjoyed.
"Master, wait a moment. There's something I need to clarify." Suddenly, Weeping Soul interjected.
Han Li nodded at Weeping Soul, indicating that he could speak freely.
"Feel free to speak your mind, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul," Gui Wu said with a smile.
"How long do you mean every once in a while?
We can't stay in Nether Realm for too long. We'll be leaving soon. "Weeping Soul said.
"You don't have to worry about this. The Inverse Whirlwind appears very frequently. It will appear once every thousand years or so. According to my calculations, the next Inverse Whirlwind is not far away. It will appear within a hundred years." Ghost Witch put away his smile and said seriously.
"Since the Positive and Negative Whirlwinds are so powerful, will the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk be fine?" Weeping Soul continued to ask.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is a treasure naturally born in Nether Realm. It's the embodiment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It's extremely tough. Moreover, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and the Positive and Negative Whirlwinds can be said to be of the same origin. Naturally, the Positive and Negative Whirlwinds won't affect the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk," Gui Wu explained.
"Will we pass through many territories of the Ghost Race if we set off from here to the Yellow Springs Pond?
How strong are they? "Jin Tong also asked.
"Naturally, we'll pass through some Ghost Race territories along the way. However, with Fellow Han Li's current strength and the help of the two of you, there won't be any problems. Moreover, I'm very familiar with the road along the way, so I'll avoid some trouble for the three of you," Gui Wu said.
After that, Weeping Soul and Jin Tong asked a few more questions. Gui Wu patiently answered all of them and listed out solutions to each problem. Soon, the two of them had nothing else to say.
"Fellow Gui Wu is quite meticulous," Han Li said.
"Friend Han, you flatter me. Without the three of you, no matter how much I consider, it would be useless." Gui Wu smiled.
Han Li gave a noncommittal smile and said nothing further.
The three of them immediately set off. They left the Mourning Soul Cliff on foot and flew northwest according to the Ghost Sorcerer's instructions.
"Master, do you really believe what the Ghost Witch said?
What if he's lying to us like Xue Li did? "the Weeping Soul Beast communicated with Han Li.
"Can you sense whether he's telling the truth or not?" Han Li transmitted his voice in response to this question.
"This won't do. This person may only be a remnant soul, but his soul cultivation is very high, just like Xue Li from before. Jin Tong and I tried to interrogate him, but we still couldn't get anything out of him," the Weeping Soul said in a somewhat dejected voice transmission.
"It's fine. You've said it yourself. The Ghost Shaman is only a remnant soul now. If he does anything bad, I'll deal with him immediately. Moreover, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc is so magical. It's of great significance to us. It's worth taking the risk," comforted Han Li. His words revealed an incomparably firm confidence.
The Weeping Soul Beast was slightly taken aback by Han Li's words before nodding and falling silent.
The group flew for half a month. The closer they got to the depths of the Yama Region, the more ghostly races appeared.
These races either formed various tribes or lived in cities. It was completely different from the chaotic situation in the Black River Region.
Fortunately, the Ghost Witch knew the Yama Region very well and led the way. Their journey was more daunting than dangerous, and they were getting closer and closer to the Yellow Springs Marsh.
The three of them traveled through the black clouds in the sky, using the clouds to conceal their tracks.
As Han Li flew forward, he quickly flipped through a thick book in his hand.
He'd obtained this book when he snuck into a city when he passed by.
According to the contents of this book, the Ghost Witch's words were basically true.
"Master, there's movement up ahead. It seems like there's a battle going on," the Weeping Soul Beast suddenly said.
Han Li's eyes focused. He immediately stopped and put away the book in his hand.
The Weeping Soul Beast and Jin Tong also stopped and stood on either side of him.
"Is there something special about the battle?" Han Li looked at the Weeping Soul Beast.
The Ghost Witch emerged from the black box and clicked his tongue. "Eh? More outsiders have come to the Nether Realm, and they're from the Demon Realm. How interesting."
Han Li glanced at the Ghost Witch when he heard this, then at the Weeping Soul Beast.
The Weeping Soul Beast looked at the Ghost Witch in surprise and nodded. "That's right. One side is from the Demon Realm."
"Can you detect very far away in your current state?" Han Li asked the Ghost Witch.
"In the Nether Realm, as long as one can control the fluctuations of one's consciousness, it's natural to be able to sense things from such a distance.
You're a human, so you're unfamiliar with controlling your consciousness. However, Weeping Soul Beast, you're the reincarnation of the Nether King. Have you forgotten the specialty of our Nether Ghost Tribe?
You're only able to sense the battle ahead at this distance. "The Ghost Witch looked at the Weeping Soul Beast and asked curiously.
"I already said I don't remember the Nether King." The Weeping Soul Beast's expression changed, and it snorted.
Seeing this, the Ghost Witch smiled faintly and looked away.
"How far can you sense now?" Han Li asked the Ghost Witch again, ignoring the Weeping Soul Beast.
"I'm only a remnant soul now, so I can only sense up to a hundred and twenty to thirty thousand kilometers," the Ghost Witch answered without hesitation.
Han Li's heart shook when he heard this. The Ghost Witch's perception range was fifty to sixty times greater than the Weeping Soul Beast's.
"We're in the same boat now. Since Daoist Ghost Witch's perception range is so far, I'll leave the rest of the investigation to you," Han Li said.
"Hehe, of course." The Ghost Witch chuckled.
"Let's go closer and see who's in front of us," Han Li said with a wave of his hand.
The group continued forward and soon arrived near a valley. They hid in a secluded spot outside the valley.
The Weeping Soul Beast chanted an incantation and used the concealment technique that it had just recalled, concealing their tracks.
It was a pity that this technique could not be used for a long time. Otherwise, it would save them a lot of trouble.
"This is the Dark King's Annihilation Curse!
You really are the reincarnation of the Dark King. No one else can comprehend such a technique! "The Ghost Witch exclaimed in surprise.
"Dark King's Annihilation Curse?
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the Weeping Soul Beast, not the Dark King. "The Weeping Soul Beast snorted coldly and ignored the Ghost Witch.
Han Li's mind raced when he heard the Ghost Witch's words, but he quickly cast it aside and looked into the valley.
The valley was quite large, at least twenty to thirty kilometers in size. Countless black shadows flashed in it, forming a huge encirclement.
These ghosts had human bodies and goat heads. They were four to five meters tall, and their bodies were covered in fine black fur. There was also a black mist surrounding them.
These goat-headed ghosts held huge black scimitars in their hands that emitted thick black smoke. As they swung them, black mist saber lights whistled out, slashing toward the center of the encirclement.
The sheep-headed ghostly creature clearly knew how to use battle formations as well, and its coordination with each other was extremely ingenious. The black mist saber light formed a huge saber array, and an incomparably powerful murderous aura emanated from the saber array, covering the entire valley like a pot lid.
"This is the Shang Yang Ghost Race. They can only be considered medium in the Three Nether Regions," the Ghost Witch said.
Han Li turned his gaze to the center of the formation.
Through the saber lights, he could vaguely see two black-robed figures, one tall and one short. Their bodies were covered in black, and their faces were not revealed.
The black robes were not ordinary clothes. There was a layer of strange restriction power attached to them. Divine sense couldn't penetrate it, so he couldn't see their appearance.
The two were surrounded by four black flags with patterns of purple clouds embroidered on them. They spun around them, forming a hemispherical purple barrier that resisted the surrounding saber formation.
The grade of the four black flags was not low. The purple barrier formed by the saber formation was unusually tough. Although it trembled under the attack of the saber formation, it did not shatter immediately.
"They are indeed two demons, and their cultivation is not low. Strange, what are these two demons doing here?" Han Li muttered to himself.
The aura of these two black-robed people was extremely pure Devil Qi. The taller one had a thick and vast aura, and had reached the realm of Grand Luo.
Although the shorter one was covered in black, one could see that she was a female cultivator. Her cultivation was slightly weaker, but she had also reached the peak of Taiyi realm.
Although these two demons were not weak, there were too many goat-headed ghosts around them. Their individual strength was not weak either. The two were firmly suppressed in the saber formation and could not leave.
"Master, if the stalemate continues, these two might not be able to hold on. Do you want to save them?" The Weeping Soul asked.
Han Li heard this and looked at the Ghost Witch.
"Fellow Ghost Witch, are there any powerful ghost clans around here? Will attacking these Shang Yang Ghosts cause trouble?"
"The Shang Yang Ghost Clan is not the top ghost clan in the Yama Region. However, they are the vassal clan of the Horse King Ghost Clan, one of the four major ghost clans in the Yama Region. If you want to save them, you can do it quickly and leave immediately. You should not get into trouble," the Ghost Witch said.
"In that case, the Weeping Soul, Golden Boy, break the saber formation and save these two." Han Li's expression relaxed when he heard this. He raised his chin and said.
The Weeping Soul Beast and Jin Tong responded before flying away.
The Weeping Soul grabbed the void with its right hand, and a giant black claw the size of a hill appeared out of thin air above the valley. It suddenly grabbed at the saber formation in the valley.
The Golden Boy's body flashed with golden light, and he instantly turned into a house-sized Golden Devourer. He waved his two front claws.
Amid a sharp whistling sound, a large expanse of crystal-like sword Qi shot out and instantly condensed into a sword mountain. Together with the Weeping Soul's giant claw, it struck the saber formation.
Due to the Weeping Soul's invisibility technique, the goat-headed ghosts did not notice the two's existence. They only reacted when the black claw and the sword mountain fell, but it was already too late.
The giant black claw and the golden sword mountain slashed at the saber formation, causing two earth-shattering explosions!
The saber formation was instantly shattered, but it did not collapse.
Circles of black and golden light spread out, easily disintegrating the mountain next to the valley when they came into contact with it.
It was mixed with a turbulent gale that soared into the sky, rolling and sweeping in all directions. It affected an area of several hundred miles, and even forcefully scraped off a layer of the ground.
