Soul travels through the world of immortality

As the dazzling light of the teleportation array gradually dissipated, the figures of Li Mingyang, Lin Yi and Su Wan gradually became clearer. They finally arrived at this completely unfamiliar area. The scene here was completely different from the illusory void planets they had seen before. The ground under their feet seemed to be covered by a thin layer of mist, making their vision slightly blurred. The rolling mountains in the distance were sometimes clearly visible under the cover of this layer of mist, and sometimes hidden in it. The looming added a mysterious and ancient atmosphere to the whole scene.

"I see, there seem to be traces of human activities here." Li Mingyang narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed to a magnificent castle not far away, and said softly, "Why don't we go over and take a look? Maybe we can find some useful clues or treasures."

So, the three of them followed the winding path that looked like a long snake, and slowly approached the direction of the castle carefully. When they just walked to the front of the tall and majestic gate of the castle, suddenly, an extremely strong and suffocating spiritual pressure roared out from the inside of the tightly closed gate like a surging tide. Then, a low and heavy roar sounded, and the two tightly closed doors actually began to slowly open to both sides. Along with the "creaking" sound of the door hinge turning, an old man in a black robe walked out of the gradually opening door like a ghost silently.

"My three friends, welcome to the Netherworld Castle." The old man spoke slowly. Although his voice sounded very calm, when one looked into his eyes, one could detect a subtle hint of vigilance in the depths of his eyes.

Li Mingyang, who was standing at the front, stepped forward, clasped his hands together and bowed, and replied respectfully: "Junior Li Mingyang, I am here to greet the senior. This is my good friend Lin Yi, and that is Su Wan. We have no intention of disturbing your castle today. We just happened to pass by here and wondered if there is anything you can help with. It would be great if we can do our best."

When the old man heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and responded softly: "So that's how it is. My name is Mo Yuan, and I am the guardian of this Netherworld Castle. Since we have the fate to be here, you might as well come in and have a chat. Maybe we can really have some common topics to talk about." After saying that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Mingyang, Lin Yi and Su Wan exchanged glances, nodded, followed Mo Yuan and walked into the castle. As soon as they stepped into the gate, a simple and rustic atmosphere hit them. The decoration inside the castle was extremely simple yet elegant. On the walls hung ancient paintings that seemed to tell stories of the past. The air was filled with a faint smell of incense, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the entire space.

"Where are you guys from?" Mo Yuan asked casually as he led everyone inside.

Li Mingyang thought for a moment, then briefly introduced their origins and the purpose of this trip to Mo Yuan: "To answer your question, we all came from Qingyun Mountain. During this outing, we accidentally discovered this mysterious void area. I heard that there may be many precious resources here that are helpful for cultivation, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I can gain anything."

Mo Yuan nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, "Yes, this vast and mysterious void area does indeed hide numerous rare treasures. However, it is also accompanied by many unpredictable dangers. You can actually successfully arrive here, I have to say that this is indeed a rare fate."

At this moment, a sound of rapid footsteps like a storm came from far away, breaking the original peaceful atmosphere. A young monk hurriedly stepped into the spacious and bright hall. He looked extremely flustered and even a little panicked. As soon as the young monk saw Mo Yuan, he couldn't wait to report: "Master, something bad has happened! Right now, outside the castle, a group of monks of unknown origin are launching a fierce attack on us!"

Hearing this, Mo Yuan's originally calm and composed face suddenly darkened. He stood up suddenly, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his whole body exuded a frightening majesty. Then, he looked at everyone with a steady and firm gaze, and said slowly: "My friends, please don't panic, just wait here for a while, and let me go to check the specific situation first."

Li Mingyang, Lin Yi and Su Wan looked at each other and stood up almost at the same time. They expressed their determination to help Mo Yuan resist the enemy. Seeing this, Mo Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and said loudly: "Since you are so generous, if you don't mind, why not go with me to the outside of the castle to deal with this sudden crisis together."

The four of them arrived outside the mysterious and ancient castle as fast as the wind. Looking up, they saw a group of monks in black robes and stern faces surrounding the castle. They were all agile, holding various magical instruments, and exuding a chilling aura.

In front of this group of monks, there stood a burly middle-aged man. He held a long sword with a cold glow in his hand, and exuded a fierce aura, like a ferocious beast, which made people shudder. This man was Chi Yan. At this moment, his face was full of anger, and he shouted loudly to the castle: "Mo Yuan, you old immortal, if you know what's good for you, quickly hand over the treasures of the Nether Castle, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless and making you die without a burial place!"

Hearing this, a cold snort came from the castle, and then a figure slowly walked out. This person was Mo Yuan. He was white-haired, but energetic, with a pair of eyes shining with wisdom. Facing Chi Yan's threat, he was not afraid at all, and responded coldly: "Chi Yan, you despicable and shameless thief, stop being so arrogant here! You want to take the treasure from me, it's just a foolish dream!"

Chi Yan smiled grimly upon hearing this, and then waved his arm, and the long sword in his hand instantly emitted a dazzling flame. The blazing sword energy roared like a fire dragon and rushed towards Mo Yuan, burning and distorting the air wherever it passed.

However, Mo Yuan remained calm in the face of danger. He quickly waved his staff and muttered something. In an instant, a thick black light curtain appeared out of thin air, like an indestructible wall, steadily blocking the fierce and fiery sword energy. With a loud "bang", the sword energy and the light curtain collided, sparking countless sparks and energy fluctuations, and the surrounding ground trembled.

Li Mingyang saw the situation and understood it instantly. His eyes met with those of Lin Yi and Su Wan as fast as lightning. The three of them seemed to be in tune with each other and reached a consensus without words. They moved in unison and stood beside Mo Yuan in a flash, forming a powerful combined force.

"Senior, we are here to lend you a helping hand!" Li Mingyang said loudly, his voice firm and powerful, revealing his inner determination.

Mo Yuan nodded slightly to express his gratitude, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you very much, my friends. If you can survive this disaster today, I will definitely reward you generously."

In a flash, Lin Yi flicked his wrist, and a flying sword with cold light flashed out. The flying sword was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, streaking a dazzling silver light in the air, and rushed straight towards the aggressive Chi Yan. Seeing this, Chi Yan's face changed slightly, and he did not dare to be negligent at all. He swung the long sword in his hand tightly, trying to resist this fierce attack.

At the same time, Su Wan raised her jade hand and cast a profound water spell. Water vapor filled her body, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a crystal clear water curtain, like an indestructible barrier, blocking all the attacks of the other black-robed monks. Those attacks fell on the water curtain, making crackling sounds, but they could not break through its defense.

Li Mingyang took a deep breath and used all his strength to circulate the powerful true energy in his body. He quickly formed a series of complex hand seals with his hands, muttering something, and the sound of the magic formula resounded through the sky. In an instant, dark clouds rolled in the sky and thunder rumbled. Then, a golden light column as thick as a bucket fell from the sky, with the power to destroy the world, and bombarded Chi Yan directly.

Chi Yan was horrified, and it was too late to dodge. Although he tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by the aftermath of the light column. With a muffled groan, Chi Yan's whole body seemed to be hit hard, and he took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.

"What a powerful spell!" Chi Yan was amazed in his heart. However, he was not afraid of it, but was aroused to fight even more. He opened his eyes wide, shouted angrily, and waved his sword again, launching a more fierce attack on everyone. For a moment, the sword energy was everywhere, the light was shining, and the two sides were caught in a thrilling battle...

At this time, the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, shouts of killing, and the sound of weapons clashing. Both sides were already blood-thirsty, and the battle was extremely fierce. At this critical moment, a clear and crisp voice like a yellow oriole suddenly came from the sky: "Stop!"

When everyone heard this sudden voice, they subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. At the edge of the sky, a woman in a snow-white robe was seen stepping into the air, slowly flying towards them like a fairy. The woman had a graceful figure and a beautiful yet somewhat cold face. She held a crystal clear jade flute in her hand, exuding an otherworldly temperament, and her expression was extremely calm and composed.

"Senior Sister, it's you!" Mo Yuan, who was fighting bloody battles, recognized the person at a glance. A look of surprise instantly appeared on his face covered in blood and dust.

The woman nodded and smiled at Mo Yuan, and said softly, "Brother Mo Yuan, don't panic. These people are traitors of the Netherworld Sect and have committed many evil deeds. Let me, your sister, deal with them."

Mo Yuan nodded heavily upon hearing this, and responded respectfully: "Thank you for your help, Senior Sister. With you here, we will definitely be able to catch these rebels in one fell swoop."

After that, the woman turned her head and looked at Chi Yan on the other side. A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said coldly: "Chi Yan, as a disciple of the Netherworld Sect, you dare to betray your master and do such a treasonous thing. Today is the day you die!"

When Chi Yan saw the woman appear, he knew that he would not be able to escape this time, but his instinct for survival made him choose to give it a try. He turned around suddenly, trying to escape from the place in the chaos. However, before he could take a few steps, the woman waved the jade flute in her hand lightly, and a gentle breeze swept out. This breeze seemed weak, but it actually contained a powerful force. In the blink of an eye, it turned into an invisible cage, trapping Chi Yan firmly in it.

At this moment, the woman slightly raised her arm, which was as white as mutton fat jade, and her movements were so gentle that she seemed afraid to disturb the air around her. She stretched out a slender, green jade finger and gently tapped the blazing red flame. In an instant, a dazzling white light, like lightning piercing the night sky, burst out from her fingertips and sank straight into the body of the red flame at lightning speed.

As the light entered, Chi Yan suddenly let out a shrill and extremely miserable howl, the sound resounded through the sky, and it was creepy. His whole body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, like a leaf in the wind, swaying. Not long after, there was a loud "bang", and Chi Yan's huge body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. After he fell to the ground, he completely lost his life and there was no movement at all.
