First Summoner

About three hours later.

Shen Yan and Hong Ling left the forbidden area and appeared in the eighteenth level of purgatory.

When the resentful ghosts and evil spirits around saw them, they immediately knelt down in fear and made way for them, for fear of offending them.

Hong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are they afraid of you or me?"

"What do you think?" Shen Yan asked calmly.

Hong Ling: “…”

Although they were unwilling to accept it, these resentful ghosts and evil spirits were indeed afraid of Shen Yan, not her.

At this moment, Bian Weng, one of the six evil ghosts, appeared in a hurry. After seeing Shen Yan, he did not have time to look at the red spirit beside Shen Yan. He bowed respectfully, saluted, and said very quickly: "Lord Hades, your subordinates have been looking for the whereabouts of the sword spirit evil ghost according to your instructions, and finally found it! Now, the sword spirit evil ghost has appeared in the seventeenth purgatory!"

As he spoke, Mr. Bian raised his head and carefully observed Shen Yan's expression, as if waiting for her instructions.

Hearing this, Shen Yan's face darkened slightly.

"Take this emperor there."

"Yes, Lord Hades!" Bian Weng responded quickly. Only then did he look at Hong Ling. After seeing Hong Ling's face clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Red Spirit King!

Hong Ling glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Why don't you lead the way?"

"Yes!" Mr. Bian came to his senses and quickly led Shen Yan and Hong Ling.

On the way, Hong Ling frowned and asked Shen Yan via voice transmission: "How did Xiao Tianzhou become an evil ghost?"

"You do not know?"

"If I knew, would I let Xiao Tianzhou stay in the hell layer and become an evil ghost?" Hong Ling said coldly. Then she thought of something and her voice became a little lower. "I just don't know if Cheng Yan knows..."

After hearing her words, Shen Yan also fell into deep thought.

For more than 30,000 years, how could it be impossible for Cheng Yan, as the Ghost King, to know that Xiao Tianzhou was her sword spirit?

Unless Xiao Tianzhou appeared after Cheng Yan passed away.

She once asked the six evil ghosts, and they all said that they had only known Xiao Tianzhou in recent years.

So, in these thirty thousand years, besides staying in the spiritual realm hell layer, where else has Xiao Tianzhou stayed?

Shen Yan felt a little heavy in his heart.

When they arrived at the seventeenth level of purgatory, they saw a powerful sword wind suddenly blowing up, sweeping towards the numerous resentful ghosts and evil spirits with overwhelming force.

boom--

These vengeful ghosts and evil spirits were simply unable to resist such a terrifying force and were swept into it one after another, as if they were in a terrible tornado.

Accompanied by bursts of shrill screams, the entire space was filled with an atmosphere of fear.

Only two evil spirits resisted the attack of the sword wind.

Shen Yan looked up and saw an extremely sharp sword blade hidden in the sweeping sword wind! The sword blade flashed with a cold light, like a sickle in the hand of the god of death, ruthlessly rushing towards the many evil spirits.

She was about to go towards it, but Hong Ling raised her hand to stop her.

Hong Ling said in a serious tone: "You haven't recovered your strength yet. If you go over there, your cultivation level will most likely be discovered. It will be troublesome then. Let me go. I will help you bring Xiao Tianzhou back."

After saying that, Hong Ling was about to step forward, but was stopped by Shen Yan.

"Your injuries have not healed yet, stay here."

"That……"

"I'll go." Shen Yan stared at the sharp blade in the sword wind with a firm gaze. She stepped forward and the Tianzhou Divine Sword appeared in her hand.

And at the moment when the Tianzhou Divine Sword appeared, the violent sword wind seemed to pause for a moment, allowing many evil spirits to take this opportunity to escape.

"It's Lord Hades who has arrived!"

"Lord Emperor Ming, please save us!"

"We pay our respects to the Lord Emperor of the Underworld!"

The other two evil ghosts couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Yan.

A look of worry appeared in Hong Ling's eyes.

At this moment, Shen Yan, holding the Tianzhou Divine Sword in her hand, walked towards the area of ​​violent sword wind step by step. With every step she took, she felt an invisible pressure, and she almost lost her balance several times.

She looked up slowly.

"Little Tianzhou."

The sword wind gradually slowed down, and the sword blade flashing with cold light quickly stabbed towards Shen Yan.

Hong Ling's face changed in shock when she saw this.

The ghosts present all felt that the Hades was very powerful and could definitely take down the sword spirit evil ghost, so they were not worried at all.

But, I wonder why Lord Hades hasn't taken action yet?

The sudden sword wind blew up Shen Yan's black hair, and the sword blade with a cold glow stabbed directly at Shen Yan's body.

But when the sword was about to penetrate Shen Yan's chest, it stopped abruptly.

Under the shocked gazes of the ghosts, Shen Yan actually raised his left hand and grasped the sharp long blade.

What does Lord Hades want to do? !

Soon, they discovered something was wrong, because Shen Yan's hand holding the long blade was not injured at all, and the Tianzhou Divine Sword held in Shen Yan's right hand was making a sword sound.

"Xiao Tianzhou, can you hear me?"

The long blade seemed to tremble a few times.

The moment Shen Yan let go of his hand, the long blade gradually transformed into the appearance of a little girl. Her hair was messy and her facial features were very delicate, but she looked dirty. Her eyes were glowing red, which was a sign of having turned into an evil ghost.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Shen Yan in confusion, tears falling from her eyes like pearls from a broken string.

pat pat pat.

Shen Yan's heart seemed to be torn apart by something.

She looked at the little girl with distressed eyes, her nose felt sore, and she raised her hands and hugged the little girl in her arms.

"sorry."

I failed to protect you.

The little girl's expression was a little disturbed as she smelled a familiar scent.

She opened her mouth slowly.

"Master...Master..."

The next moment, the little girl burst into tears, tears streaming down her face. Her little hands tightly grasped Shen Yan's clothes, full of uneasiness.

"Master, don't die!"

"Don't leave me!"

“No… wuwuwu…”

"I won't abandon you." Shen Yan said in a firm voice. He raised his hand and held her in his arms, stroking her little head.

The little girl's crying turned into intermittent sobbing.

Her spirit body exuded a bone-chilling chill, as if covered by a layer of frost. She also twitched from time to time, and the red light in her eyes flickered in and out, her eyes sometimes murderous, and sometimes blank.

Shen Yan also noticed her abnormality, his expression became more solemn, and his heart was broken.

Shen Yan held her tightly in his arms and carried her towards Hong Ling.

The ghosts present had different expressions when they saw this scene, but no one dared to stop Shen Yan.

Hong Ling looked at the little person in Shen Yan's arms and couldn't help but reveal a look of heartache.

"Lord Emperor of the Underworld..." Weng Bian spoke cautiously.

"This emperor will remember your contribution."

When Mr. Bian heard this, he immediately looked flattered. Just as he was about to say something polite or flattering, he saw Shen Yan and Hong Ling turn around and leave.

"Lord Emperor of the Underworld, King Red Spirit, where do you want to go? I will lead the way for you." Bian Weng was shocked and hurriedly followed.

The other two evil ghosts who were also present saw this, looked at each other, and quickly rushed over, not wanting to be left behind.

The three evil ghosts are all extremely flattering.

The ghosts present were stunned.
