Along the way, Xiao Se cursed incessantly, but in the end, he turned into begging for mercy.

"Dark Cloud, I'm begging you, I'm begging you..."

She was soaking wet, and it was impossible to tell which parts were tears and which were seawater.

Every word of these words pierced the heart of the dark clouds.

She also felt sorry for Xiao Se, but she knew what the right thing to do was.

Perhaps this is the curse of the Six-Tailed Cat Clan. It's not that the Six-Tailed Cats are unloved, but rather that those who are truly good to the Six-Tailed Cat Clan often encounter misfortune, while those who harm them tend to live quite well.

Like Xiao Se, she should have had a mother's love, but the Demon Emperor of that year went down a path of no return in order to spare Xiao Se from the suffering of the bloodline curse, so Xiao Se lost her mother at a young age.

And now, Xiao Se has finally found someone who truly cares for her, and that person is...

This is probably why Xiao Se's mother didn't tell her in the inherited memories that she would bring misfortune to those around her; otherwise, given Xiao Se's personality, she would have left Lin Yi long ago.

Wu Yun felt a pity for Xiao Se, but seeing her fragile and humble appearance, Wu Yun did not show any mercy.

"Your Highness, you must remember that anyone can go to the underworld, but you cannot. You are a traitor to the underworld. Once you return to the underworld, you will surely be discovered by the underworld authorities. At that time, death may be the best outcome for you."

So, let me help you walk the rest of the way! With Lin Yi's strength and my characteristics, even if we go to the underworld, it's not necessarily a path of certain death. But if you come, we will all be implicated by you.

The bloodline shackles will break once I leave. I hope you can calm down.

As he spoke, Wuyun spat out a cloud bag from his mouth. Inside the cloud bag were the desolate Yin-Yang Jade, the intertwined branches, and various personal items.

The cloud bag was placed in Xiao Se's hand, and the dark cloud looked at Xiao Se with lingering affection.

"Xiao Se, you must live well and not disappoint those who love you."

After saying that, the dark cloud turned its head and glanced at the dark sky in the distance. Its time was running out. It had to meet up with Lin Yi before he entered the passage, otherwise, once they entered the underworld, the two of them would no longer be together.

Without further ado, she turned and ran wildly toward the island.

Its body quickly turned into a ghost, like a dark cloud, and flew swiftly towards the island.

As Xiao Se watched the dark clouds drift away, a pang of pain shot through his heart.

She understood why the dark cloud called her name at the last moment; it was perhaps a final farewell.

"Dark clouds, no!"

She didn't even have the strength to stand up, and could only watch helplessly as the dark clouds drifted away.

Although the shackles on his body were slowly melting away, Xiao Se's heart grew colder and colder.

In a single day, she lost the two most important companions in her life. When her strength returned, she looked at the distant sky but couldn't take a step forward.

Sometimes, facing death with courage might be cowardice, while running away is true bravery.

Because running away would be even more painful.

Rushing into the passage on impulse would be the end of everything; death would be death.

But Lin Yi was willing to be sucked back in to save her, and Wu Yun risked her own life so that she could live. She couldn't let their sacrifices be meaningless.

Even if it's painful, she can only live.

This moment may have been the most painful moment in Xiao Se's life, but it was also the moment when she was the strongest.

At this moment, the dark cloud grinned crookedly, and it was somewhat proud of its actions just now.

"I was so smart just now. She'll definitely listen and won't cause any more trouble."

However, the laughter was only temporary. Looking at the gloomy, dark passage, Wuyun could only sigh.

In fact, her clan also came from the underworld.

Running all the way to the island, Wu Yun quickly spotted Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wasn't flustered at the moment; he was just looking at the gradually expanding passage with a worried expression.

Fortunately, the entrance to the underworld opened in the deserted sea. If such a large-scale black hole existed in a town, countless innocent people would have died on the spot.

However, such disorderly expansion is still very dangerous. It would be best if it could be stopped, but if it cannot be stopped, it will eventually spread to the shore.

Moreover, these creatures of the sea are utterly innocent; they came here perfectly well, and suddenly they're in the underworld.

Lin Yi was wondering if he could destroy the passage.

Firstly, it would save him from going to the underworld, and secondly, it would prevent the situation from worsening further.

But while he had the idea, Lin Yi was at a loss when it came to actually putting it into practice.

If you stab this thing with a sword, will it break or get bigger?

"Lin Yi, what are you doing?"

The dark cloud had shrunk to the size of a normal kitten. Seeing Lin Yi lost in thought, it couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?" Only then did Lin Yi notice the dark cloud and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"The young master was worried that you would be in danger alone and wanted to come and help you, but I didn't dare let her go to the underworld, so I had to come myself."

Although I'm not very skilled, I can still help you with a lot of things!

The dark cloud tilted its head proudly, and Lin Yi casually patted it.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you!"

Lin Yi smiled and picked up Wu Yun. He no longer had time to think about how to make the passage disappear. The entire Doom Island would be swallowed up. Lin Yi could only protect Wu Yun so that he could have an explanation when he saw Xiao Se in the future.

Wu Yun earnestly reminded Lin Yi, "I don't know if we'll get separated after we get to the underworld. I can only tell you about things there in advance."

There are countless ways to enter the underworld from the mortal realm, but only three paths to travel from the underworld to the mortal realm.

This time, they had no choice but to go to the underworld, and Wuyun naturally had to tell Lin Yi how to get back from there.

Regardless of whether he can do it or not, he should at least be given a method.

"The first passage is in the Hall of Reincarnation. Through the Mirror of Reincarnation, one can travel between the Yin and Yang realms. However, it is a place guarded by the righteous gods of the underworld. Mortals who trespass will only face death."

The second passage is at the Gates of Hell, which is accessible from both inside and outside the gates, but it is also heavily guarded. To return to the human world from there, one would have to fight through at least a million ghost soldiers, which is also very dangerous.

The only passage you have a best chance of finding is the Abyss of Exile. Legend has it that evil spirits from the underworld linger in the Abyss of Exile, a place so filthy that even the gods of the underworld are unwilling to set foot there.

There, your only enemies will be vengeful spirits and ghosts.

The cloud briefly introduced the three channels, which seemed like a choice between three options, but in reality there was only one choice.

However, it won't take long to talk about it anyway, and if Lin Yi is desperate, at least he'll know what to do.

After it finished speaking, Lin Yi stroked its head again.

"It's not me, it's us. I will protect you from now on."

"Hmph, I'm here to protect you, not the other way around!"

The dark cloud tossed its head arrogantly, and as they chatted, the black hole finally swallowed them up.

Lin Yi felt himself constantly being turned over and over. In the darkness, he could only cling to the dark clouds, guard his mind, and be ready to deal with danger at any time.

Before long, Lin Yi finally felt his feet were on solid ground. He swayed slightly before he was able to stand still.

After quickly surveying his surroundings, Lin Yi felt that the place looked strangely familiar.

Beneath her feet lay the sandy beach, before her stretched the dark sea, and a crimson moon hung in the sky—it was exactly the same as the dream of the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess.

Good guy, I just call it good guy!

Looking at the pitch-black sea, the cat became excited.

"The Abyss of Exile, this is the Abyss of Exile! The path to the human world lies here!"

Even Wu Yun didn't expect that imports and exports would be in the same place. Their luck is just too good!

Although we don't know the exact location of the passage, we've already reached the Abyss of Exile, so why worry about not finding the exit?

I thought I was doomed this time, but I didn't expect to have this kind of luck.

Hearing Wu Yun's words, Lin Yi perked up considerably.

However, the dark cloud quickly became nervous and hurriedly warned, "Be careful, there are many evil spirits!"

Dark clouds are the natural enemy of ghosts, but even a lot of rats can kill a cat, let alone her, whose cultivation level is not high enough.

They didn't fare well against He Dong back then, let alone in this Abyss of Exile, where the ghosts are far more ferocious than He Dong.

If the dark clouds represented fear, then Lin Yi was excited.

What's it like to fall into a gold mine?

Lin Yi felt much the same way; beneath his Heavenly Eye, there were countless ghosts.

Moreover, their colors are very dark, and each of them is highly skilled.

However, the ghosts here don't seem very smart. Seeing Lin Yi holding the cat and looking completely unguarded, a fierce ghost jumped out.

Before he could even pounce on Lin Yi, he was slashed down by a single sword strike.

This was a ghost with 1,800 years of cultivation, but after being weakened through layers of reduction, it only had 200 years of cultivation left.

This isn't a lot, but there are countless vengeful spirits on this island, densely packed. Each strike costs two hundred, and today I estimate I can get her over one hundred thousand, if there's no divine punishment limit.

After killing this one, Lin Yi's cultivation level reached exactly 4,499 years.

This has reached its limit; it will be time to transcend the tribulation in another year.

Lin Yi once again experienced the pain of being stuck with experience points.

Monsters roamed the mountains and fields, so he couldn't level up. Luckily, experience could be stored, otherwise Lin Yi would have been heartbroken.

The ghosts here are somewhat different from those in the mortal world. Lin Yi just made a move and instantly killed the vengeful ghost, but after the ghost died, it did not completely vanish into nothingness, but instead left behind a small, pitch-black stone.

The dark cloud excitedly ran over and, like eating dried fish, crunched it up a few times before swallowing it whole.

What did you eat just now?

"Ghost cores can only be refined by ghosts whose yin energy is so dense that it becomes tangible. Eating one can improve my cultivation, but it's useless to you."

Wu Yun gave him a look that said, "Don't try to take my dried fish," but Lin Yi just smiled.

Even if it would be effective, he still couldn't bring himself to eat it!

After swiftly and decisively killing a vengeful ghost, Lin Yi did not go around looking for more ghosts to kill. With the deterrent effect he had just demonstrated, no ghosts should come looking for trouble anytime soon.

Lin Yi took out the Demon-Slaying Sword, stuck it in the ground, and then closed his eyes to look at the ghost's memories.

If you want to understand information about a place, looking at the memories of the locals is the fastest and most reliable way.
