I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 495 Ghost Fire in the Netherworld
"Meet big brother and two sisters-in-law!"

"Greetings to the benefactor and the two ladies!"

Led by Lan Xi, everyone bowed in unison.

"We are all family, there is no need to be so grand and polite. Just be more casual, more casual." Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"That's right, Sister Lanxi, this is too grand!" Ji Wenyue has a lively personality. While speaking, she walked forward and held Lanxi's hand.

"It's only right for the two sisters-in-law to come here for the first time." Lan Xi said with a smile, but when she looked at Xia Daoming who was walking towards the palace accompanied by the great elder, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

After entering the palace, the host and the guest sat down. After a round of greetings and reminiscing about the past, Xia Daoming suddenly asked, "Did something happen in Canglan Palace?"

"No, everything is fine!" Lan Xi's heart trembled slightly, and she said quickly.

"Yes, everything is fine! Everything is fine!" The Great Elder and others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you mermaids are simple by nature and are not born to lie. Tell me, is it related to the Chixiao Sect? I saw the convoy of the red-clothed elders of the Chixiao Sect on the way here." Xia Daoming said.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this and just looked at Lan Xi.

Lan Xi was silent for a moment, and said: "It's nothing, actually. Ten years from now will be the thousandth birthday of Master Liehuo, and Bai Xuzi just came to inform us and asked us to carefully prepare some gifts in advance!
You also know that the thousand-year birthday of True Man Liehuo is extraordinary. A force like ours that has inherited the spirit of transformation should, in theory, offer generous gifts according to the standards of a spirit of transformation force.

But Canglan Palace has been in decline for many years, so it must be difficult to prepare a generous gift of the standard of a divine power. I was worrying about this, but I didn't expect that my eldest brother would see through it at a glance."

Lan Xi raised her jade hand as she spoke, gently smoothing down a few scattered hairs, her eyes somewhat evasive.

"What's there to worry about? Just ask your elder brother to help you prepare some." Ji Wenyue said without hesitation.

"Isn't this too..." Lan Xi looked embarrassed.

"We are all family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." Liu Qiao Lian said with a smile.

However, Xia Daoming did not show any expression. He just stared at Lan Xi with his eyes fixed, with a golden light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Husband!"

"master!"

Seeing that Xia Daoming didn't say anything, Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian quickly nudged him with their elbows.

Xia Daoming glanced at the two of them, waved his hand and said, "I know what's going on."

After that, Xia Daoming looked at Lan Xi and said, "Lan Xi, am I your elder brother?"

"Of course!" Lan Xi blurted out, her eyes becoming more evasive.

"If so, then tell me honestly what Bai Xuzi's request was. Although we have known each other for a short time, we are friends from the bottom of our hearts. You have something on your mind, but you can't deceive my eyes." Xia Daoming said seriously.

Lan Xi's body trembled slightly when she heard that. She did not answer but lowered her head.

"Alas, benefactor, to be honest, Bai Xuzi came to our house not to ask for rare cultivation resources, but to ask us to pay tribute to two Yuanying and six Jindan female clansmen!
The Palace Master naturally refused, but the Chixiao Sect was powerful, and Bai Xuzi was a powerful figure who had the potential to become a god. He was one of the candidates for the future leader of the Chixiao Sect. Even if the Palace Master refused, it would be of no avail.

Moreover, Bai Xuzi saw that the Palace Master had the blood of the Sea Dragon King, and he coveted her even more. Now he was not yet a God Transformation Ancestor, and he was not arrogant enough to force the Palace Master to submit to him.

But when he becomes the God Transformation Patriarch someday, he might dare to come directly to my Canglan Palace and force the Palace Master to submit to him." The Great Elder saw that he couldn't hide it from Xia Daoming, so he had to confess.

"Bai Xuzi is the one who killed my sister, right?" Xia Daoming's face darkened and he said with murderous eyes.

"Actually, it's not just my sister. Because Bai Xuzi has a special preference for my mermaid tribe, many people in our tribe have suffered from him over the past few hundred years!" Lan Xi suddenly looked up and said.

"When does Bai Xuzi want you to pay tribute?" Xia Daoming asked.

"He demands that we pay tribute within five years, otherwise he will bring troops to attack us." Lan Xi replied.

"Within five years, there is still plenty of time. It should be Bai Xuzi's own idea to ask your Canglan Palace to pay tribute to your clansmen, right?" Xia Daoming touched his chin and asked after thinking for a moment.

Lan Xi was still young after all, and was a little confused when she heard this. She didn't know what Xia Daoming meant by this question, but the Great Elder was already shocked, with a look of horror on his face, and blurted out:
"My benefactor wants to kill Bai Xuzi? Absolutely not! This man can be considered a half-step god, with extremely strong power. Moreover, he is a man who pays attention to pomp and circumstance, and he is followed by several Nascent Soul cultivators whenever he goes out.

Not to mention that even if the five of us who are in the late Nascent Soul stage present join forces, we may not be able to defeat him. Even if we can defeat him, it is simply impossible to keep him and his people here.

If he escapes, or even leaks a little information, not only will the benefactor and the two ladies be hunted down by the Chixiao Cult, but our Canglan Palace will also be exterminated!"

So far, only Lan Xi in the entire Canglan Palace knows about Xia Daoming's true origins and the matter about the teleportation array on the Deserted Island.

Therefore, in the eyes of the elder, Xia Daoming was just a powerful late Nascent Soul cultivator, and he did not know that he already had the strength to rival a Spiritualization cultivator, and had a glorious record of killing a Spiritualization cultivator together with Lan Xi and others. "Brother, the risk of attacking Bai Xuzi is too great. We in Canglan Palace already owe you too much, and we must not drag you and your people down any longer!" After the elder said this, Lan Xi realized the purpose of Xia Daoming's previous question, and quickly rejected it with a firm face.

"Don't we still have five years? Maybe there will be a turning point in this matter. It's too early to say these things now." Xia Daoming said.

"Yes, yes." The Great Elder and others nodded quickly, but their mood was a little complicated.

In their opinion, attacking and killing Bai Xuzi was too unrealistic after all, and Xia Daoming's statement was just a way to save face.

Five years later, they at Canglan Palace still had to send the person over.

Only Liu Qiaolian, Ji Wenyue and Lan Xi, who knew Xia Daoming's background and character well, thought differently.

Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue looked calm, but Lan Xi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

At this moment, a Jindan cultivator hurried into the hall, looking panicked and angry.

"Why is Zhan Ling so flustered?" The Great Elder's face darkened when he saw this.

"The Sea Yakshas of the Soul-Falling Abyss suddenly launched a large-scale attack on our Youlan Sea Trench base. Most of the people in the base were killed. Not only did they become their blood food, but their souls were also extracted! Now the Youlan Sea Trench has fallen into the hands of the Sea Yakshas of the Soul-Falling Abyss." Zhan Ling said with a look of grief and indignation.

"What? What are they going to do in the Soul-Falling Abyss? Are they going to start a full-scale war with our Canglan Palace?" Everyone looked angry and turned their eyes to Lan Xi.

The Blue Trench is a spiritual stone mine that Canglan discovered and began to mine in recent years.

This spiritual stone mine is accompanied by certain top-grade spiritual stones, so it is very important to Canglan Palace.

The matter of the accompanying top-grade spirit stone has also been kept secret.

"Brother, sisters-in-law, please stay in Canglan Palace for the time being. I will take people to the Youlan Trench first." Lan Xi stood up and said.

“The Soul-Falling Abyss Yaksha and your Canglan Palace are old enemies, and they are cruel and have killed many of your people. Even if you take people to take back the Youlan Sea Trench today, this tragedy will still happen frequently in the future.

I think it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the Soul-Falling Abyss is in decline and destroy it, thus putting an end to the trouble once and for all!" Xia Daoming said.

“We also want to destroy the Soul-Falling Abyss, but the Great Lord of the Soul-Falling Abyss, Ling Xueming, is a powerful late Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Second Lord, You Tao, is also a late Nascent Soul cultivator, with many powerful Nascent Soul masters under his command.

The most crucial thing is that the Soul-Falling Abyss is located in the deep sea, with thousands of ghosts wandering around and surging tides. Moreover, the Soul-Falling Abyss leads directly to a dark ruin left over from ancient times.

It is said that there is a Netherworld ghost fire of the true fire level hidden in the Netherworld Ruins. The ancestor of the Yaksha lineage who fell into the soul-fallen abyss sea received the Netherworld ghost fire and the Netherworld Yellow Springs Soul-Locking Array.

This formation is extremely powerful. Once activated, the netherworld ghost fire will rise into the sky, covering the entire Soul-Falling Abyss, forming a netherworld fire domain. Anyone who enters the formation will have their sea of ​​consciousness burned and their Nascent Soul damaged.

There are also six "Yellow Spring Ghost Ropes" in the formation, which can entangle the souls of invaders, slowly drain their vitality, and weaken their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the Soul-Falling Abyss also seals some dead sea yaksha ghosts at the bottom of the abyss. These ghosts will revive as netherworld war ghosts when the formation is activated. They are invincible and very powerful!
It is said that even if a cultivator who has reached the state of spiritual transformation enters this formation, he will not escape well, and even his soul may be damaged by the ghost fire of the underworld.

Because of this, even though the Soul-Falling Abyss has committed many evil deeds and acted cruelly, and there has been no Divine Transformation cultivator in charge for thousands of years, it is still safe and sound." The elder said with a helpless smile.

The news that the Second Abyss Lord You Tao was killed in the Saha Ruins has not spread out yet, and the Great Elder does not know about it.

"Brother, forget it. I've also heard that the Netherworld Yellow Springs Soul-Locking Array is extremely powerful. It is said that a human cultivator who had reached the divine level almost fell into it." Lan Xi said.

Xia Daoming seemed not to have heard Lan Xi and the Great Elder's advice, nor the power of the Netherworld Yellow Spring Soul Locking Formation. Instead, he said with shining eyes, "Is it true that the Soul-Falling Abyss contains the True Fire-level Netherworld Ghost Fire?"

Xia Daoming had seen the second lord of the Soul-Falling Abyss use the Netherworld Ghost Fire before, but that ghost fire was very mixed, just like the water in Xuanwu Lake, except that it was mixed with a little bit of Xuanming True Water, so it could not be considered Xuanming True Water at all.

The real ghost fire of the underworld is one of the most powerful true fires in ancient times. It is extremely cold and yin, and the slightest contact with it can burn a person's soul into smoke.

The Xuanming True Water and the Netherworld Ghost Fire, one water and one fire, are cold and gloomy things, which are just suitable for Xia Daoming to collect and refine into the second magic weapon.

"That should be true. If it isn't true, how could it be so powerful?" said the Great Elder.

"If that's the case, then we must destroy the Soul-Falling Abyss!" Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"Benefactor!" The Great Elder was shocked.

He didn't expect that after he said so much, Xia Daoming would still choose to destroy the Soul-Falling Abyss. But with their limited strength, how could they destroy the Soul-Falling Abyss?

"Brother!" Lan Xi's body trembled violently, and there was a faint gleam of light in her eyes.

Her ideas are of course different from those of the Great Elder!
