Cold Clouds

Chapter 371: Going to the Underworld

After Lin Xiaoxiao killed Zheng Luan, she put away the divine image and turned to look at Zheng Pian, who looked a little haggard. After a moment of silence, she said, "You don't have only this one son, do you?"

Zheng Pian nodded: "Since my wife fell into a coma, we have no children. Therefore, although I know that my son is naughty, I have always let him go..."

You only have one son, but you don't cultivate him well and guide him to the right path. You are not very smart, old man. Lin Xiaoxiao thought so in her heart, and then followed Zheng Pian's words and said, "You said your wife is unconscious? Let me see what's going on."

"This... Lord Ding Cun came to see it in person, but there was nothing he could do..." Zheng Pian hesitated for a moment and spoke.

Oh? Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. This was even more interesting. Even Ding Cun couldn't solve it, so it was even more worth watching.

After Lin Xiaoxiao's persuasion, Zheng Pian finally agreed to let Lin Xiaoxiao go and take a look.

Zheng Pian brought Lin Xiaoxiao to a canyon, where there was a locked coffin, which kept making "bang bang bang" sounds.

Is this a coma? Lin Xiaoxiao listened to the noise and looked at Zheng Pian with some confusion and suspicion in her eyes.

Zheng Pian did not react to Lin Xiaoxiao's questioning look. He just looked at the coffin with a trace of sadness in his eyes. "My wife's soul is asleep. There is a demon hidden in her body. It is intertwined with my wife's soul and is difficult to separate. Lord Ding has no way to separate them quickly. He can only seal them in this coffin and use spiritual power to refine and separate them every day to wake my wife up."

“Lord Ding did mention a method, which is to use the power of a divine weapon. However, the only divine weapon in this world is the Human Emperor Banner, which operates all year round to protect the entire righteous world. It would be inappropriate to separate part of the power from my wife, as it might allow evil cultivators to take the opportunity to launch a massive attack. Therefore, it was not implemented,” Zheng Pian sighed, stepped forward to touch the coffin, and said in a heavy tone, “The power of a divine weapon is strong, and there are very few objects that can compare with it. It is hard to find…”

It is indeed hard to find. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, then suddenly remembered something and tilted her head to think.

Well, it seems she has.

Lin Xiaoxiao patted Zheng Pian on the shoulder and said, "Go out for a while. I have a way. Let me try it. I guarantee you won't suffer any loss."

"This..." Zheng Pian looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, then at Song Hanyun, was silent for a moment, and nodded, "Okay."

After Zheng Pian left, Lin Xiaoxiao put the coffin and Song Hanyun into the soul space, then looked at the coffin calmly and said, "You'll feel better if you come out by yourself."

There was no response from inside the coffin except for the clanging sounds of things knocking on the coffin.

Could it be that he can't speak? Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and said, "If you can't speak, knock on the coffin three times."

There was silence in the coffin for a moment, and then a slight sneer was heard: "Heh, idiot."

All right, if I don't kill you today, I won't be named Lin. Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and sneered, took out the Donghuang Bell, a real artifact, and summoned the Heavenly Demon Sword and Su Xing, two semi-artifacts, and then called out the Shadow Breaking Knife and the Soul Shaking Hammer, as well as the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword and the Thunder Strike Peach Wood Sword, which were taken from the Ascension Immortal Tower and were worshipped by the faithful, a total of four heavenly-level magic weapons.

Shame on you. While Lin Xiaoxiao was manipulating the magic weapon, she activated the Five Elements Formation and the Divine Appearance.

At this time, the coffin fell silent again, and after a while, a sentence popped out: "Hey... Can we reconcile?"

"Reconciliation?" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled kindly, "At this moment? Little thing, are you kidding me?"

"Just wait until I catch you!"

After a long struggle, Lin Xiaoxiao finally caught the monster that possessed Zheng Pian's body.

What is this? Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the skin of the little guy's neck... uh... picked up the skin of the neck of one of its heads and observed it carefully.

It looks like a nine-tailed fox... but why does it have nine heads? Lin Xiaoxiao ignored the curses of this magical creature and took out the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to read it.

She brought this thing up from the netherworld just because she felt bored, but she didn't expect it to be so useful.

"Leech, a nine-headed, nine-tailed fox with a body of a fox and tiger claws." Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was still flipping, Song Hanyun spoke up.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Song Hanyun.

If you had known this earlier, you would have taken out the books... Lin Xiaoxiao curled her lips, put the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" back and looked at the leech.

"Come on, try to argue, or I'll kill you." Lin Xiaoxiao said generously.

She was even willing to listen to explanations.

"What a quibble!" The leech cursed, "This woman's ancestors killed my people, and I'm here to take revenge! I will torture her day and night until she dies!"

"The secret technique of our clan is the method of burning jade and stone together," the leech sneered, "If you leave me alone, I will die with her. There is no point in saving her. It will be very troublesome."

Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at the leech: "What was her ancestor's name?"

"I'll take you to the underworld to find her."

The leech was stunned for a moment.

This... sounds so casual. Li Zhi looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, so what do you say? Should we go and find him or not?" Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled by the leech's confusion, and she thought it was very reasonable.

If you want to go to the underworld, you must bring things related to the underworld. This is also simple. Jiuyao was originally the King of Hell in the lower world and has the King of Hell's seal in her hand. Just ask her to send it over and borrow it.

The Yama Seal from the lower realm is rated as a heavenly-grade magic weapon in the upper realm, but it has not reached the level of a divine weapon, so it should not be able to solve Zheng Pian's problem.

"Well, it's solved," Lin Xiaoxiao released the soul space, holding the leech and said to Zheng Pian who came over, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..." Zheng Pian burst into tears and rushed to the coffin.

"Your wife should probably sleep for two more days. After she wakes up, she should rest for a while." After Lin Xiaoxiao said that, she took the leech and left with Song Hanyun.

"Hell, Hell..." Lin Xiaoxiao muttered to herself while holding the Yama Seal that Jiuyao had just given her. She flew for a distance and stopped. "I think we can open the door here."

He used the Yama Seal to communicate with the underworld and opened the door. The Black and White Impermanence poked their heads out and said, "Guest? Please come in."

Black and White Impermanence brought Lin Xiaoxiao and others to the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon, gave the task of leading the way to the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon, and then left.

After wandering around for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at the palace of the Wheel-Turning King. The Wheel-Turning King was sitting on the throne, reviewing a book, and said, "Who is in the palace, and what do you want?"

"This is the enemy who destroyed our clan," Lin Xiaoxiao lifted the leech and slid it in front of her, "Can you help me take a look?"

"What's that man's name?"

"My surname is Zhong," the leech said tremblingly, "I don't know my full name."

It’s normal to be afraid when you see a real deity for the first time.

The Wheel King raised his hand and a book fell in front of Lin Xiaoxiao and the others: "Look for it in this book yourself."

Lin Xiaoxiao opened the notebook and started looking from the first page.

The book was not thick, but rather thin, and it recorded all the people with the surname Zhong who were being punished for heinous crimes, such as Zhong Jielian who drowned his savior for ulterior motives.

After flipping through two or three pages, I found Zhong Yunyan, the murderer who killed countless leeches.

Tapping on the name on the book, Zhong Yunyan's appearance appeared. She did look a bit like Zheng Pian's wife whom Lin Xiaoxiao had just seen, but not much. After all, so much time had passed, and it was normal for people of the same blood to look different.

"It's her! She was the one who killed my father and mother!" The leech who was being carried by Lin Xiaoxiao spoke with gritted teeth, while Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the Chakravartin.

"It's a matter of karma. Let this little fellow resolve it himself," the Wheel King said calmly without looking up. "Follow the instructions in the book and you'll find it soon."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed one of the leeches' heads and spoke.

The leech shook his head, picked up the notebook and walked away.

All right. Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged, took out the soul of Zheng Luan that she had detained, and looked at the Wheel King again: "Let me ask you, are you in a hurry to collect this now?"

The Wheel King looked up and immediately lowered his head again: "Do whatever you want with him, just don't let his soul fly away and send him to the underworld."

"OK~" Lin Xiaoxiao threw Zheng Luan, who opened his mouth wide to scream but couldn't make a sound, back into the soul-summoning flag. "One more question, can you tell me the location of the marrow of heaven and earth?"

The Chakravartin raised his eyes again, and this time he stopped what he was doing: "Those matters concerning the Outer Gods?"

The ten Yama Kings in the upper realm have all experienced the test of the genuine ten Yama Kings. They can contact the real master and let the real master possess them. When Lin Xiaoxiao said this, the one who was talking to her was already the genuine Chakravartin.

"The marrow of heaven and earth is the most precious thing in the world, and we must not reveal too much of its secrets..." The Wheel King said calmly, "But it will appear in the area you are in next time, so you should pay more attention."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and did not speak again. After a while, the leech came back with the book in its mouth. The Wheel King took the book back. The leech knelt down to Lin Xiaoxiao with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you, Immortal."

You called me an idiot before. Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "Okay, stop talking, let's go wherever we need to go, we still have things to do."

……

In short, everyone has gone back to their own homes and found their own mothers. Now it’s time to find Feng Yu.
