My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 237 Little Ghost Is Hard to Deal with

Li Changshou could not help but feel disappointed when he first saw the Netherworld. The difference between this place and the place he had created with his imagination was too great.

At the edge of the Netherworld, all they could see was desolation and there was no order. There were some ferocious ghosts wandering around and they even found traces of many evil beasts.

That was not much different from the Desolate Land of the Sea Of Blood that was recorded in the ancient books.

He flew past the East of the Netherworld and flew forward. As he flew further, the amount of gray fog reduced. His vision broadened.

Unfortunately, he could not see the Lethe River that was filled with vengeful souls. He could not see the three-way river between life and death.

He could not find the Gates of Hell that often appeared in the proverbs, nor could he find the spectacular scene of countless souls on the Yellow Springs Path heading towards reincarnation...

Above their heads and around them, there was always a little light floating in the same direction as them.

Those were the True Spirits of living beings that had been attracted to the center of the Netherworld after their death. There was a Heavenly Dao Merit treasure there, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc that was formed from the virtuous Lady of Earth.

After Ji Wuyou and the rest flew for a while, Li Changshou finally understood... They were on the Yellow Springs Path. However, there was no conflict between the living beings.

The “sky” of the Netherworld was a little low. They could not help but feel stifled. The wind that blew from all over gave out a faint whimper and miserable wail.

That was probably related to the customs of the “Graveyard Party”.

Li Changshou did not carefully understand the atmosphere there. He did not use that place to optimize his “burial services”.

His heart felt heavy...

After all, they were already in such a place. It was not appropriate to be too happy.

Ahem, back to the main topic.

Li Changshou had been thinking about how he should explain to his master if his Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu had met with another mishap.

At the end of the day, it was not easy to explain that matter. However, he could not hide it from his master forever.

Although his master had become a Turbid Immortal, he was too much like a salted fish. There was no need for him to struggle anymore.

However, Li Changshou ultimately wanted to make his master happier and live a better life, instead of living in regret and guilt.

Therefore, he sincerely hoped that nothing happened to Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu...

On the way to Fengdu City, Ji Wuyou took the initiative to release the oppressive aura of his Golden Immortal realm. At that moment, ferocious ghosts crawled away and demons took a detour.

Even if the five of them passed by some ferocious beasts’ territory by chance, most of them would hide deeper.

They entered the Netherworld from the eastern border and flew for more than 5,000 kilometers. They finally saw the first city in the Netherworld.

There was no name for the city. It was just a small city that could be seen from everywhere in the Netherworld. There were ghost cultivators, Yin cultivators, and demons in the city. They were not very strong.

Li Changshou finally saw the existences that he was more interested in the servants of the Netherworld.

Those people were dressed in yellow robes. Most of them were cultivated from ghosts. They were equivalent to cultivators at the Void Return Stage and Dao Requital Realm. They were afraid of True Flames and pure Yang techniques.

Most of the time, they were listless. They patrolled outside and inside the city. They bullied the cultivators in the city to kill some boredom.

The small group of people were in good spirits. They were also talking and laughing non-stop, without any discipline.

Li Changshou sighed softly...

Seeing it for himself was much better than staying in the Immortal Du Sect and imagining

it.

This Netherworld is really... full of Heavenly Dao karma that was thrown on the roadside!

Although reincarnation was established, the order was not enforced completely. There was still a lot of merit to pick up!

However, those were all merit points that could only be calculated after he had gotten a foothold in the Heavenly Courts.

This time, he was there for his Aunt-Master’s reincarnation. It would not be good for him to spend more time investigating that matter.

As they got closer and closer to the center of the Netherworld, they saw more and more cities.

There were a few cities that were as lively as the cities in the South Continent. They were filled with all kinds of strange “things”... Most of them were different from ordinary living beings.

Ji Wuyou was really experienced and knowledgeable. On the way, he explained to the four of them the origins of the common ghost cultivators in the Netherworld. He also explained the important cities in the Netherworld where the experts were stationed.

In the blink of an eye, they traveled more than 5,000 kilometers. Suddenly, two pitch-black mountains blocked their way.

Ji Wuyou did not walk to either side. Instead, he led the four of them towards the narrow gap between the two mountains. “This is the place we have to pass through to enter Fengdu City.” Ji Wuyou smiled and continued, “There are soldiers guarding this place. Don’t be careless later...”

Before Ji Wuyou could finish speaking, a sudden yelling came from below. “Those flying above, come down!” “There is a Death Trap in this place. Don’t trespass. It doesn’t matter if you die or not!” Ji Wuyou smiled. He naturally understood the rules there and quickly led the four of them to descend.

Li Changshou observed for a while.

He realized that there were indeed some mysterious and obscure Dao runes echoing between the two magnificent mountains. The thought of forcing his way through his heart made his spiritual perception jump.

The arrangement there was extraordinary!

When they reached the bottom of the valley, they saw hundreds of burly figures with intense auras. They were dressed in dark yellow battle armor, holding steel forks and chains. They stood in front of the “One-Line Sky” in an awe-inspiring manner. Almost all of them were at the Perfected Immortal realm.

Li Changshou was a little puzzled.

The difference between the world of the living and the Netherworld was too great.

Three people happened to pass by before the five members of the Immortal Du Sect. At that moment, they could see the three of them flying slowly between the two mountains.

There seemed to be a restriction in front that prevented them from flying too quickly.

Ji Wuyou stood with his hands behind his back. He rode a cloud and stopped three feet above the ground. He brought the four of them to the intersection where the guards were guarding. Exalted Wang Qing and Youqin Xuanya were both fully focused. After walking past Jiang Lin’er a few times, they were slightly distracted.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, looked at the Netherworld servants with interest. He had a rough idea.

He reckoned that they should be the Magis who chased after the Lady of Earth back then.

The Lady of Earth turned into the Six Paths of Reincarnation during the Second Great Magi-Demon War.

The Lady of Earth was originally one of the twelve ancestral Magi, and she had her own direct tribe. She had transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation disc to forever suppress the Netherworld. There were also a group of Magi from her tribe who chose to pursue her.

When those experts entered the Netherworld, they had already severed ties with the Magi. They were also given the positions of Heavenly Dao clergies.

I’m sure these Netherworld servants are the Magi in their afterlife.

Immediately, a general who was dressed in armor and was carrying two hammers walked forward. Judging from his aura, he was at the mid-stage of Heaven Immortal realm.

The general’s face was sallow and his eyes were half-closed. He looked as though he was performing his duties as usual.

He weakly asked with a sluggish expression, “Where did you guys come from?” Ji Wuyou said calmly, “We are from an Immortal Sect in the East Continent.”

“Where are you going?”

“Of course, I have something to attend to in Fengdu City.” Ji Wuyou chuckled and sounded righteous.

The general pursed his lips and yawned.

“You should go back. This is not the way.”

Ji Wuyou could not help but frown. However, the person behind Ji Wuyou could not help but step forward at this moment.

Exalted Wang Qing said, “There are three figures in front of us. Why do you say that this path doesn’t work?”

“Hehehehe.”

The general’s body swayed a few times. He rolled his eyes and said, “For people who know the rules, this path is naturally open. For those who don’t, this path is really closed.”

“Rules?”

Exalted Wang Qing’s gaze was slightly sharp. His white hair fluttered gently, and his aura began to show.

“Don’t tell me there are such rules!”

“Hey!”

Fortunately, Jiang Lin’er, who was at the side, reacted in time and stepped forward to hold Exalted Wang Qing’s arm.

Jiang Lin’er forced a smile and skillfully took out a treasure pouch from her sleeve.

She handed it over using her immortal power and said politely, “We understand the rules. My husband seldom comes out. Please don’t blame him.”

Exalted Wang Qing frowned slightly and hesitated.

Li Changshou, who had been watching from behind, could not help but smile when he saw that...

However, that poor general casually swung his bronze hammer. A gust of wind swept the treasure pouch back and it landed in Jiang Lin’er’s hand.

Jiang Lin’er frowned and asked, “What do you mean, General?”

“Hehe, the rules of today have suddenly changed.” The general from the netherworld admired the patterns on the bronze hammer in his hand and said calmly, “The Netherworld is a very important place. You can’t barge in recklessly. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?” The man’s eyes flickered. He said calmly, “Are you trying to make things difficult for us?”

Suddenly, the sound of a long sword being unsheathed came from behind Exalted Wang Qing.

Youqin Xuanya’s face was cold. She raised her Fire Qilin Sword Case and was ready to attack.

Li Changshou, who had been trying his best to reduce his presence, was caught between laughter and tears.

It’s just a matter of a toll fee. Why is it so tense?

He was just a little grand-disciple, and it was not appropriate for him to speak during such an occasion. With his Sect Leader and Grandmaster around, he would not allow Exalted Wang Qing to really fight with the Netherworld.

It was nothing more than spending more precious materials.

Anyway, he did not need to pay.

Moreover, with such a small matter, Li Changshou could find out more about the Netherworld...

At that moment, the general grabbed two bronze hammers and looked at Exalted Wang Qing with a hint of provocation.

Exalted Wang Qing snorted coldly. However, he did not say anything when Jiang Lin’er secretly tried to stop him.

“Oh?”

The sinister-looking general’s sallow face revealed a cold smile. “Are you still not convinced?”

The hundreds of powerful servants of the Netherworld behind him took half a step forward!

His eyes were as wide as bronze bells, and he shot out a lightning-like alert! Shocking blood aura ripples spread out from those Netherworld servants, mixed together with a shocking power!

Just as Exalted Wang Qing was about to respond, Ji Wuyou raised his hand slightly and gestured for him to retreat.

After that, Ji Wuyou placed his hands behind his back and took two steps forward. The Golden Immortal aura was undoubtedly revealed.

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Since we’ve traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to this place, we naturally do not wish to return. Please forgive me, General. My fellow disciple has a bad temper. I wonder if it’s convenient for you.”

“Convenient?”

The general said coldly, “Since I said that you can’t make it, you naturally can’t. Are you impressive just because you’re in the Golden Immortal realm? There were at least three or four Golden Immortals who walked past me in a day. This is the Netherworld. Even if it’s a dragon, you’re too stubborn!”

*Coughs*

Ji Wuyou raised his hand and coughed twice. He held a long sword in his hand and his aura became much sharper.

“Since that’s the case, I can only reason with you, Fellow Daoist.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

That’s right. The common skill of the Immortal Du Sect was definitely ‘recklessness’!

Elder Wan Linyun was rash and so was Exalted Wang Qing. The two of them were focused on cultivation and did not walk around outside the sect. It was explainable.

Why did the Sect Leader...

Judging from the way the Sect Leader spoke, it’s obvious that he knew that there is a toll fee here, isn’t it?

Li Changshou groaned in his head and felt a headache.

Before he could do anything to salvage the situation, the general pursed his lips and suddenly turned to shout at the mountain beside him, “Marshal! A human Golden Immortal is trying to force his way through!’

“Huh?”

An aura that made Li Changshou’s heart tremble erupted from the side of the mountain!

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the mountain that was tens of thousands of feet high. It was only the size of a sesame seed, but it landed in front of hundreds of Netherworld servants in the blink of an eye.

He was a burly man who was nine feet tall. He had short, light blue hair, blunt facial features, and sleepy eyes. He was wearing a light blue chained armor, and his entire body exuded an astonishing aura!

A ferocious murderous aura surged towards him!

The burly man yawned and stretched. “Who is it? Are you looking for trouble here?”

Ji Wuyou frowned slightly. Although he could sense that that burly man’s aura was astonishing, he was definitely a difficult person to deal with. However, as the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, how could he show fear to outsiders in front of the disciples of his sect, especially the private disciple of the Great Daoist Master?

However, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Ji Wuyou.

“Sect Leader, I’m guessing that this is an expert from the Magi left behind from the ancient battle. It’s best not to get into conflict with him.”

Ji Wuyou’s aura weakened.

At that moment, they suddenly heard the Netherworld servants and the general shout softly, “Marshal, you forgot your head mask!”

“Chief, your head shield!”

“You have to suffer six hundred whips if you forget to wear it once, Marshal!”

“Huh?” The person who had just jumped down raised his hand and touched his face. Suddenly, he shivered and turned his head to run towards the towering mountain beside him. He bent his legs and left cracks in the sturdy rock ground.

He directly... jumped back. After a while, the tall and mighty figure snorted coldly again. He smashed down from the mountain again and stood in front of the Netherworld servants.

However, this time... it had the collapsed head of a cow.

He repeated his words again.

“Who is it? How dare you behave atrociously here? What are you looking at...”
