The most secure job in Dajin

On the banks of the Yellow Springs River, deathly silence reigns.

The moment the exclamation reached her ears, Hua Changxi reacted swiftly, immediately sitting cross-legged with her back slightly hunched and head bowed, perfectly mimicking the posture of the ghosts around her who were intoxicated by the fragrance of the other shore flowers.

In the blink of an eye, she blended into the densely packed ghosts around her, as if she were one of them, without any sense of incongruity.

In an instant, five figures slowly emerged from the swirling gray mist along the Yellow Springs River.

At first glance, the five people looked like ghosts—they were surrounded by an intense, impenetrable ghostly aura, their faces were as pale as paper, devoid of any color, their eyes were sunken deep, and their eyes shone with a chilling coldness.

However, through the Eye of Truth, Hua Changxi clearly 'saw' the surging and turbulent blood and qi within the five people's bodies, as well as the dignified humanoid nascent soul sitting cross-legged in their dantian.

They are human cultivators!
Moreover, they were five powerful individuals who had opened up their spiritual platforms!
Hua Changxi's gaze flickered uncertainly, her eyes revealing an undisguised surprise.

When human cultivators descend into the Nine Netherworlds, they generally only set foot in the areas surrounding the Nine Passes; very few cultivators dare to venture deep into the heart of the Nine Netherworlds.

The last cultivator she knew who had ventured deep into the heart of the Nine Netherworld was Gongshu Xingyan, who had been imprisoned by the Ghost Clan for over a hundred years.

Who are these five people?
Just as Hua Changxi was secretly observing the five people, their gazes swept over her quickly. The moment she looked away, a gaze swept over her and paused for a moment.

"what happened?"

"Boss, we've discovered a demon race member who can control will-o'-the-wisps."

"Don't disturb them. Although they are just some vengeful ghosts and wandering spirits, a large number of them can cause trouble." Clearly, these ghosts were intoxicated by the fragrance of the spider lily.

My gaze drifted away and turned to the sea of ​​red spider lilies.

"Boss, it's a top-grade spider lily!"

His voice betrayed his excitement.

Hua Changxi was a little anxious when she saw that the five people had their eyes on the top-quality spider lily she had her eye on, but she dared not make any rash moves.

The five people possessed powerful spiritual senses and were extremely vigilant; if she made a single move, she would likely be discovered.

However, unexpectedly, the five people did not take immediate action when faced with the exquisite spider lily, but instead cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

"Everything is normal, no abnormalities."

"But it's too quiet."

"This area is the Ancient Road to the Underworld, with Ghost Realm Fortress in front and Ghost Domain Forbidden Land behind. It's normal that no one dares to set foot here."

There must be a reason why no ghost dares to approach the top-grade Spider Lily.

"No matter the reason, since we've encountered this situation, we should give it a try."

Next, the five quickly made their deployment. Then, one of them, like a ghost, silently passed through the thousands of ghosts and approached a few pure white, bone-like top-quality spider lilies in the sea of ​​spider lilies.

Just as the cultivator was about to touch a top-grade spider lily, a sudden change occurred!

A dazzling red light burst forth from the depths of the countless red spider lilies, instantly igniting the entire world.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble erupted from beneath the flowers without warning.

Red light gathered and swirled wildly in mid-air, and amidst the interplay of light and shadow, countless petals danced in the air. In the blink of an eye, the red light dissipated, and a stunningly beautiful figure stood atop the sea of ​​flowers.

The woman wore a long, crimson dress, the hem of which was formed from the shadows of countless blooming spider lilies.

With her soft breathing, the flowers on her skirt seemed to come alive, their petals unfurling, shimmering with light, as if fresh blood were slowly flowing beneath the fabric.

The woman walked barefoot through the air, her slender, fair ankles creating a breathtaking contrast with the sea of ​​scarlet flowers beneath her feet.

Her cascading black hair was left unadorned, simply tied up with a blood-red flower branch, with a few strands falling beside her slender neck, adding a touch of languid yet deadly allure.

It's breathtakingly beautiful, yet so beautiful that you can't look directly at it.

Hua Changxi and the five cultivators were all stunned, their breaths involuntarily stopping.

At this moment, everything in the world seemed to lose its color, and only the woman in red became the sole focus in this blood-red world. "How dare you! Even the Ghost King wouldn't dare to touch my descendants. You are merely Ghost Generals, yet you dare to attempt to steal my carefully nurtured offspring."

The moment the woman in the red dress appeared, Chu Junyi immediately swung his soul whip, pulling Ye Jingzhou, who had gone deep into the sea of ​​spider lilies, out. The other three also launched an attack on the woman in the red dress immediately.

The battle is imminent!
Chu Junyi and his four companions, unwilling to cause a major disturbance, attacked with deadly moves.

In particular, they all knew that the Underworld and the Red Spider Lily were born together, and that the Lord of the Underworld and the Lord of the Red Spider Lily would always become husband and wife.

The woman in the red dress referred to herself as "Madam," so her identity was obvious: she was the mistress of the Other Shore Flower and also the Daoist partner of the Lord of the Underworld.

Fortunately, this ancient path to the underworld is adjacent to the forbidden area of ​​the ghost realm and the ghost fortress. To ensure that the Lord of the Underworld and the Flower Master of the Other Shore Flower do not threaten the rule of the ghost race, their true forms cannot descend.

Currently, the woman in the red dress that Chu Junyi and his group of five are facing is only a wisp of the Flower Master of the Other Shore Flower, so she is not too difficult to deal with.

But they must act quickly, otherwise, once the Lord of the Underworld makes his move, they may find it difficult to escape.

Seeing the chaotic battle that suddenly erupted before her, with the five cultivators and the woman in the red dress locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight, Hua Changxi made a decisive move and flew straight towards the top-grade spider lily in the distance of the battlefield.

"court death!"

Just as Hua Changxi put the first top-grade spider lily into the Shennong Cauldron, the woman in the red dress who was fighting with Chu Junyi and the others suddenly turned her head. Her originally bewitching eyes were instantly filled with overwhelming ferocity as she locked onto Hua Changxi, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Hua Changxi ignored it completely, and without pausing for a moment, headed straight for the second top-grade spider lily.

Although the woman in the red dress was furious and wanted to break away and give chase, she was tightly entangled by the trapping formation set up by Meng Ziyu.

The array's light swirled, firmly imprisoning her in a small space.

Unable to escape, she could only channel her hatred into an even fiercer offensive, relentlessly bombarding Chu Junyi and his group of five.

Seeing that there were ghosts acting as ammunition to reap the benefits, Chu Junyi made a decisive move. He abruptly withdrew his killing move against the woman in the red dress, gave a low shout to signal his companions to restrain her, and then retreated rapidly. He also followed Hua Changxi's example and rushed towards the top-quality spider lily on the other side.

One, two, three...

Hua Changxi's movements were so fast that only a blur remained.

In the blink of an eye, she had picked five top-grade spider lilies, more than ten high-grade spider lilies, and dozens of mid-grade spiritual flowers.

Just as she was about to run towards the next top-grade spider lily, a deafening roar that shattered the void came from behind her.

"Ah~"

"I will make you all vanish into thin air!"

With a furious roar, Lady Higanbana finally forced the magic circle apart.

Amidst the burst of red light, she ignored the four people attacking her and instead pounced on Hua Changxi like a madwoman—the thief who had stolen countless of her descendants and drained her life force!
Hua Changxi frowned slightly. Not wanting to reveal her presence, she quickly flew out of the sea of ​​red spider lilies and plunged into the thick gray fog on the Yellow Springs Ancient Road.

However, the woman in the red dress pursued her with lightning speed, arriving behind her in an instant, her chilling killing intent almost corroding Hua Changxi's back.

Sensing the approaching deadly crisis, Hua Changxi sighed helplessly, stopped in his tracks, and quickly turned around. With his right hand, he grabbed at the air, and a black broken sword appeared in his palm.

Facing the red figure charging with the force of thunder, he didn't use any fancy moves, but simply swung his hand back and slashed at it.

"Pfft~"

There was no loud clang of metal clashing, only a soft sound, like a sharp blade slicing through thin paper.

The seemingly invincible and domineering woman in the red dress was as fragile as a paper doll in front of this black broken sword.

With a flash of light, she was instantly and neatly split in two, without even having time to scream.

But that's not the scariest part.

Even more chillingly, a strange suction force suddenly erupted from the cut of the black broken blade, and the red-dressed woman's body, which was formed from pure energy, instantly disintegrated, turning into rolling red light, which was greedily devoured by the broken blade like rivers flowing into the sea.

In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Lady of the Other Shore Flower vanished completely from this world, leaving only the broken black sword, trembling slightly in the gray mist. A fleeting, bewitching red light seemed to flash across the blade, making it appear even more profound and unfathomable. (End of Chapter)
