A secret chamber.

Thin strands of cold air seeped out from a coffin seemingly carved from ice.

It was the Ice Coffin.

Inside the Ice Coffin lay Lotus Princess. Although she was deceased, Lotus Princess remained as beautiful as ever.

Beside the Ice Coffin stood Wang Xiaoqiang, Jin Futu, Jin Qiaoqiao, and Princess Hua Shao.

Princess Hua Shao and Jin Qiaoqiao were both dressed in long-sleeved Luo Shirts. However, unlike usual, one sleeve of each woman hung empty, giving a slightly eerie appearance.

The four of them wore expressions of deep sorrow, while Wang Xiaoqiang's face showed even more grief and anger.

He clenched both fists tightly, so hard that his nails cut into his flesh, drawing blood.

One dead, two injured.

Two women he loved dearly were missing an arm.

Lotus Princess died protecting him.

This showed that, whether from the perspective of family or love, Lotus Princess had feelings for Wang Xiaoqiang.

Otherwise, which woman would be willing to die for a man?

This filled him with deep regret, and the flames of hatred burned even stronger in his chest, leaving him unable to control himself.

Unfortunately, he was no match for the Sky Obscuring Lord, and with his current Qi Refining Cultivation, he couldn't enter the Biluo Realm for revenge, because only those who reached the Immortal Emperor Realm had the right to enter Biluo Realm.

"Little Qiang, a gentleman takes revenge ten years too late, but the most urgent task now is to find Lotus Princess's six souls, then use the Revival Technique to bring them back, so that she can be resurrected." Jin Futu said with a solemn face, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Alright," Wang Xiaoqiang raised his gaze, glancing at the three, his expression turning serious, "I am leaving immediately for the Netherworld to find Lotus Princess's soul and seek the Revival Technique. You must stay in the City of Heavenly Pride and under no circumstances venture out."

Princess Hua Shao said, "Little Qiang, I'll go with you."

"No, your presence would not only be unhelpful but also a burden to me." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "This time, I will go alone."

"Little Qiang, Lotus Princess's body in the Ice Coffin won't decay, but her soul can only remain in the Netherworld for three months. After three months, it will enter reincarnation, so you only have three months...

More manpower would be better, I'll accompany you, and also bring Ding Chunqiu and those Celestial Emperor-level experts...

Moreover, the rich Corpse Qi in the Netherworld will boost the Ghost Cultivators' morale and Cultivation Base. The Ghost Immortal rank Ghost Cultivators are particularly difficult to deal with."

Wang Xiaoqiang pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said, "Alright."

After such a grave calamity befell the City of Heavenly Pride, not a single one of the hundred emperors of the Immortal Realm hastened to leave,

Wang Xiaoqiang managed to escape death from the pursuit of a Daluo Golden Immortal, proving once again that Wang Xiaoqiang's strength had already surpassed that of an Immortal Emperor, being extremely formidable, daring to claim second in the Immortal Realm, with none daring to claim first.

Moreover, when faced with strong adversaries, Wang Xiaoqiang did not shy away, risking his life to stand against a Daluo Golden Immortal for the sake of women and friends. Such actions deserve to be acknowledged!

As a result, Wang Xiaoqiang earned even more respect from them.

Wang Xiaoqiang's position in their hearts became more solidified, and cohesion was further established. Now, whether outwardly or inwardly, they all looked up to Wang Xiaoqiang as their leader, following his commands unquestioningly.

Wang Xiaoqiang assembled them together, picked and chose, selecting anyone at the Immortal Emperor or Immortal Emperor Stage.

There was only one Immortal Emperor, Ding Chunqiu, seventeen others at the Immortal Emperor Stage, including Madame Gou Yi and others. Along with Jin Futu, Wang Xiaoqiang's team totaled twenty people.

On this day,

The twenty of them, led by Wang Xiaoqiang, set out for the Ghost Territory.

This entourage, except for the Medicinal Beggar Jin Futu, consisted entirely of the great immortals of the Immortal Dao. Their journey together was indeed grand.

If the Immortal Realm had news media, this event would be explosive news, making headlines across major outlets.

The group traveled almost unimpeded to the Ghost King Sect in the Ghost Territory.

Only a few Ghost Cultivators with low Cultivation Base guarded the Ghost King Sect.

With a wave of his hand, Ding Chunqiu instantly caused the towering gate of the Ghost King Sect to collapse into dust.

Inside, the Ghost Cultivators, seeing a faction of Immortal Emperors and Celestial Emperors arriving, fled in panic, scrambling for their lives.

The group entered the Ghost King Sect and arrived at the Sacrificial Altar.

The Sacrificial Altar remained in the same state of disrepair as several years ago. The towering altar had disappeared, leaving only a broad, deep chasm from which strands of sinister Corpse Qi and that eerie "clatter... clatter..." sound continuously emanated.

Wang Xiaoqiang pointed to the chasm and said, "This is the entrance to the Netherworld. Everyone be careful and protect each other as you enter!"

No sooner had Wang Xiaoqiang finished speaking than Ding Chunqiu leapt down first.

Being at the Immortal Emperor Stage, he was protected by an Immortal Qi Barrier, naturally courageous, thus always taking the lead,

Ding Chunqiu increasingly earned Wang Xiaoqiang's favor, and he felt it was wise not to have killed him back then.

The remaining Immoral Emperors followed in succession. Madame Gou Yi and Jin Futu followed behind Wang Xiaoqiang,

For Jin Futu's weaker cultivation, Wang Xiaoqiang needed to protect him,

Madame Gou Yi, being Wang Xiaoqiang's woman, hadn't seen him in days, and wanted to take this opportunity to talk more, but Wang Xiaoqiang had no idle time for romance, keeping a serious demeanor that made Madame Gou Yi hesitantly silent.

All twenty, one after the other, continued to fall, descending into deeper darkness and cold, the "clatter" sound growing louder.

The Netherworld, also known as Hell, was called the Yellow Springs.

This trip was to enter the Yellow Springs, full of inevitable dangers.

Ding Chunqiu activated his Immortal Qi Barrier, the Immortal Emperors put up their Dragon Qi Shields, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled Jin Futu close, shielding him with a Dragon Qi Shield, fully protecting his body, while his own remained exposed,

Possessing the Undying Golden Body - Great Completion Realm, his physical body was strong, rendering the Dragon Qi Shield unnecessary, but perfect to protect someone with a weaker Cultivation Base like Jin Futu.

It was unknown how long they had been descending when Ding Chunqiu, at the forefront, shouted a warning "Everyone be careful, there's a massive ghost creature blocking the way below."

He promptly released his Immortal Sword, activating the Sword Light for illumination and protection.

The Immortal Emperors also released their Magic Treasure Immortal Swords, summoning their Sword Lights to protect themselves. Wang Xiaoqiang released the True Dragons of the Flame, four of which wound around Jin Futu and his body, emitting a series of dragon roars and howls.

Suddenly...

In the darkness.

"Clatter..."

"Clatter!"

Then...

"Ah, beast!" Ding Chunqiu shouted angrily, his Immortal Sword suddenly flaring brightly, Sword Lights bursting forth as he slashed out with a roar, aiming at a towering black humanoid ghost creature. The creature was extremely agile, disappearing ethereally just as the Immortal Sword struck down.

Meanwhile, countless black humanoid ghost creatures surged from all directions, surrounding and attacking everyone.

"Everyone be careful, those are Yin Spirits." Jin Futu, knowledgeable and experienced, shouted a reminder.

...
