Chapter 652: The River Styx
Although the things were not very harmful, anyone would be unhappy to be detained here with a forbidden mark planted on them. Therefore, Ye Ming still behaved like a normal person and looked at them with an ugly face.

The four demon kings turned a blind eye to this. They thought that a junior in the Void Refining Stage could not cause much trouble. In addition, they discussed other things in front of Ye Ming.

Seeing that Ye Ming was unusually honest, Liu Zu just glanced at him and stopped paying attention to him. He said to the beautiful middle-aged woman, "Okay, the issue regarding Fellow Daoist Ye has been resolved. Now let's talk about our respective preparations. Fellow Daoist Lan, I heard that your Xuan Gui has been almost refined, but it's still short of..."

The other three people also joined in, and they started to discuss the matter one after another.

From beginning to end, they did not give Ye Ming a chance to speak or defend himself. However, after they thought they could control Ye Ming, they no longer hesitated and discussed directly in front of Ye Ming about attacking the Styx barrier.

From their conversation, Ye Ming learned that it would take another six years before the action. Dixue still needed to refine a large number of puppets, Gui Pozi also needed to refine three ghost generals in the Refining Void Stage, and Mu Qing also needed to prepare a large amount of blood food. As for Liuzu's mission, it was not so specific. Ye Ming listened for a long time and only knew that it was to collect pure Yin Qi.

Taking advantage of the gap, Ye Ming winked at Yuan Yao and made eye contact several times, signaling them to stay calm.

I don’t know if Yuan Yao understood what he meant, but I saw her nod slightly.

Ye Ming did not rashly send a message to his children. Although the strength of his spiritual power was similar to that of a mid-stage fusion, there were still some risks in sending a message at such a close distance under the eyes of several demon kings. Who knew if any of these four people had special means.

Once he was discovered, it would backfire. Anyway, now that he had met Yuan Yao, he was not in a hurry to deal with the next thing, he could just take his time.

Not long after, Liuzu and others finished discussing everything and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

Mu Qing did not dare to delay and got down from the golden flower, and personally sent the other demon kings out.

Yuan Yao got Ye Ming's hint and did not take any rash action when she passed by Ye Ming. She just pretended not to know Ye Ming.

After a while, Mu Qing sent Liu Zu and the others away and returned to the main hall. He sat back on the giant golden flower in a flash, then held up his chin with one hand without saying a word and fell into deep thought.

The woman seemed to be having trouble making a decision, and she didn't say anything or give any instructions for a long time.

Suddenly, Mu Qing raised her eyebrows, finally making up her mind, and said, "You will start learning the two secret arts of Thunder Sacrifice and Thunder Sacrifice tomorrow. I will personally teach you the way to drive away thunder. I hope you can master it as soon as possible."

"Yes, senior!" Ye Ming responded.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, you can go down." After giving the order, Mu Qing waved his hand.

Ye Ming saluted and stepped back.

……

Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

One day six years later, Ye Ming followed several demon kings and appeared in a strange place.

Several people were suspended in the air dozens of feet high. Hundreds of feet ahead, there was a vast expanse of white water blocking their way.

The water is milky white and a little turbid. I don't know how deep it is, but there is no end in sight when I look left and right.

There were gusts of cold wind whistling and swirling on the surface of the water. The strange thing was that despite such strong winds, the water surface was as calm as a mirror, without a single ripple, just like dead water.

"This is the River Styx!" Ye Ming let out a long breath and murmured.

"That's right! If you want to enter the Styx, you must pass through this river. Here you need to rely on the power of Binghuo Yanglei of Fellow Daoist Ye." Mu Qing said calmly. At this time, she was standing on the golden giant flower, and there was a golden ape standing beside her, with two swords on his back and his eyes flashing coldly.

Below her were more than a hundred high-level monsters that had transformed into half-demon forms, each with a solemn expression.

"I will do my best!" Ye Ming glanced at the monsters and replied respectfully. Then he looked in other directions.

Liu Zu was not far in front of Mu Qing, wearing a black cloak that covered his entire body from wind and rain. Surprisingly, above his head, there was a huge eyeball about ten feet in size, flashing a strange gray light.

Not far to the left and back of Ye Ming and the others, a beautiful white-haired woman was quietly floating there, with eight other black shadows behind her. Each of them was several feet tall, wearing a set of hideous armor, some holding weapons, and some with bare hands. Looking at their faces, they were blurry and could not be seen clearly. They were actually eight Xuan ghosts in the Void Refining Stage!
A little further behind the eight mysterious ghosts, two beautiful women were also floating in the air. They were Yuan Yao and Yanli.

In fact, in the past six years, Ye Ming had already met Yuan Yao and the other two in private, and he also knew their current situation. The reason why the ghost woman accepted them as apprentices was just to absorb their spirits and Yin energy one day.

Ye Ming already had a countermeasure for this, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he let the two girls continue to stay with the witch and take them away after entering the River Styx.

Behind Yuan Yao and Yan Li's children, there was a dark wind blowing into the sky. Under the cover of this dark wind, countless ghost shadows were flickering, and there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling. Inside were the thousands of Yin armor ghost soldiers refined by the ghost woman!
Not far away from this gloomy wind, there were various types of motionless puppets of varying heights, numbering tens of thousands.

Most of them were mud and stone puppets, about ten feet tall, with gray or brown bodies flashing with strange light. A small number were dark green wooden puppets and metal puppets emitting black light, which were more delicately made than mud and stone puppets.

Among these puppets, the most eye-catching one is a purple-red puppet that is thirty feet tall and has six eyes and is located in the center of all the puppets.

This is the purple blood puppet refined by the old monster Dixue!
On both sides of the shoulders of this purple-blood puppet, two men in blood-colored robes stood facing the wind, with their hands behind their backs.

In addition, behind these puppets and ghosts, there are endless low-level monsters.

All of the above things were gathered by the four demon kings over the past few hundred years in pursuit of the treasures of the Styx.

It can be said that it is a matter of risking everything!

Before this, Mu Qing had already sacrificed a huge number of monsters, which attracted the Jingkong Demon, which tore open the space of the seventh layer of the Earth Abyss and entered here.

After observing the Styx for a while, Liu Zu said without turning his head, "Everyone, the restrictions on this river have not changed since the last time we came here. Let's get ready and start working together to break the restrictions."

"no problem!"

Mu Qing and others began to prepare.

Liu Zu then turned his gaze to stare at Ye Ming, and said without any emotion: "Fellow Daoist Ye, wait for my command and release your divine thunder to help us disperse the evil spirit in the Nether Water. As long as the evil spirit is dispersed, it will not be a problem for us to separate the Nether Water."

"Yes, senior!" This six-legged creature put a lot of pressure on Ye Ming, and he did not dare to neglect it.

Next, several demon kings began to prepare.

At the call of the four demon kings, the group of high-level demons swarmed out and took out some strange objects from their bodies. Within a cup of tea, they set up a giant magic circle with a diameter of dozens of feet.

This magic formation floats in the air, integrating dozens of formation tools of different styles into one, emitting an astonishing aura.

In the center of the magic circle, Liu Zu and Mu Qing stood side by side.

At the command of the white-haired beauty, eight Refined Void Mysterious Ghosts lined up in a row, each with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front, like a string of candied haws, preparing to perform a combined attack secret technique.

The beautiful woman with white hair stood in front of all the shadows, looking extremely calm.

On the other side, the purple blood puppet had grown to a height of several hundred feet. The two blood-robed men standing on its shoulders looked as small as ants. The other dozen metal puppets gathered in the middle and condensed into an iron puppet several dozen feet tall, holding a gleaming giant blade in its hand.
