Chapter 529.

The location where the Underworld Cave was located was slightly hidden.

Behind the Prefecture Master’s hut, there was a water pool, and on the side of the water pool was a waterfall.

Behind the waterfall was the entrance to the Underworld Cave.

The moment they stepped into the entrance, a cold feeling enveloped everyone’s heart.

Tang Yuyi couldn’t care less about this smelly brother-in-law’s bee-attracting physique, and wrapped her arms around Jiang Ran’s arm, her mind then barely settled before she pretended to be relaxed and said:

“Worthy of being the Heartless Ghost Mansion, just such an entrance to the Underworld Cave, surprisingly this ghostly atmosphere.

“Pretending to be a ghost to this extent, it lives up to the name of the Ghost Mansion.”

The Mansion Master glanced at her and suddenly smiled:

“The girl is flattering, the Heartless Ghost Mansion is indeed named after ghosts in order to avoid earthly gazes.

“It is all in the nature of the world to like beauty and hate ugliness, and to look to the sun and fear the dark.

“For the ghosts and gods, they are even more respectful.

“Therefore, taking a ghost as a name can avoid most of the strife ……”

When she said this, she gave a slight beat, but suddenly her words changed:

“However, this Underworld Cave, is somewhat not quite the same ……”

“Where is it different?”

Tang Yuyi couldn’t help but ask.

Although she had already regretted it after asking, it would be more or less humiliating to recycle that back now.

For his part, the Mansion Master laughed softly and said:

“It’s also all a bit of nothingness ……

“As you can see, although this place is a bit hidden, it’s not hard to find if you look for it with all your heart.

“Plus, if you want to truly open the Underworld Cave, you need the assistance of two Divine Skills.

“Therefore, it is not how closely guarded on weekdays.

“Therefore …… in the past, there were always people who accidentally entered this place by mistake ……

“To say is also odd, here is such a road, but those in, there are a few after coming in, never went out again.”

“…… Never went out?”

Tang Yuyi’s heart tightened:

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

The House Master shook his head:

“Alas, it can’t be said that it’s completely unknown.

“There are also some clues news, but most of them catch the wind.

“There are also some people who came in and came out, but it was as if they had lost their souls.

“The whole person is muddled.

“At the slightest breeze, they turn pale with fear.

“The seniors in the house were once specifically asked about it.

“They were able to answer truthfully.

“Said that entering this place was originally a coincidence …… but when they wanted to turn around and go out, they found that a road that was originally not long, became long and deep ……

“Deep and bottomless, like an abyss.

“Whether they walk, or run, and run wildly for a long time, they can not go out from this cave.

“What’s more …… they could always hear, at that time, a footstep behind them.

“Whether they walked fast, or slow, that footsteps, just kept following behind them ……”

The House Master’s voice became a bit low and light.

It seemed like it wasn’t a voice from a normal person.

Tang Yuyi had already been creeped out, and just then, she also heard footsteps coming from behind her.

For a moment, her body shrugged with sweat, and her hair strands almost stood on end.

She couldn’t help but want to turn around and see who exactly was behind her.

Just then, she heard the House Master say:

“At that time, senior had said that it was fortunate that they didn’t turn around to look at the person behind them.

“Otherwise, they probably would have been just like those few who never came out, living forever and ever, sinking into this Underworld Cave.”

Tang Yuyi instantly fixed her neck.

She didn’t dare to turn back.

Her teeth chattered and she shivered:

“You …… you’re all catching winds and shadows, no, not enough to be believed.”

“Indeed.”

The Mansion Master suddenly stumbled in his footsteps and turned his head to look at Tang Yuyi.

Beneath that evil ghost mask was a pair of pale eyes.

In a low and odd voice, he said:

“But, this Prefecture Master once saw with his own eyes, a person who had somehow disappeared, appear in this Underworld Cave.

“And, as if it were a candle in the wind, in a trance, it had completely disappeared.

“Even this monarch, also not clear, that person exactly …… is a person or a ghost.”

Tang Wuyi could no longer control the fear in her heart, and deadlocked her arms around Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran was dumbfounded and glared at the House Lord:

“Why is the House Lord teasing her?”

“Hahahahaha.”

The Heartless Prefecture Lord suddenly laughed out loud and his voice returned to its normal pattern:

“Seeing that she’s funny, I didn’t hold back.”

“Amusing …… amusing me?”

Tang Yuyi snapped her head up, her face full of annoyance, but on second thought:

“But there really are footsteps behind me!”

She looked at Jiang Ran in a serious manner.

Jiang Ran gave her a helpless look:

“You turn around and look.”

“No turning back, if I turn back, I’ll stay here forever!!!”

Tang Yuyi memorized all of the mansion master’s nonsense in her mind and was convinced of it.

Then she heard Ye Jingxue’s voice behind her:

“Mallet ……”

“……”

Tang Yuyi slowly turned back and met Ye Jingxue’s four eyes.

Ye Jingxue looked at her with the eyes of an idiot, while Tang Yuyi was furious:

“Why are you walking behind me?”

“We came in together, and we didn’t line up to come in …… then there’s no order of precedence.

“Alright, if you’re really scared, you go out and wait by yourself.”

Ye Jingxue hummed, since Tang Yuyi side past.

Tang Painting Yi was still angry, then heard Jiang Ran say:

“Let’s go, if you don’t go, you’ll be left here by yourself.”

“Ah!?”

Tang Yuyi couldn’t be bothered to get angry and hurriedly followed.

Stories or bragging, it didn’t really matter.

It was just afraid that inside these fake stories, some real things were mixed in.

Back to their own left behind, those caves, not easy to show the strange, and then show up to comfort themselves, then most likely they really want to finish.

Immediately tightly followed Jiang Ran side step does not dare to leave.

This entrance was not too deep, and soon arrived at the real Underworld Cave.

As far as the eye could see, there was a huge rock in front of him.

It didn’t look like a door, but rather like a mural that had been left behind many years ago.

Above the mural, two evil ghosts were depicted.

The looks were vicious and hideous.

One had dark-colored eyes, and the other had pale eyes.

One was carrying a torture device in his hand, and the other was carrying wine and food in his hand.

The instruments of torture were hideous and vicious, while the food and wine were all human heads and hands.

Surrounding the two Night Forks was a scene of hell.

Knife mountain, sea of fire, frying pan …… and all kinds of torture racks.

Some are used to pull out the tongue, some are used to thin skin, and some can be sandwiched in the middle, embedded in a huge hacksaw, can cut a person alive into two halves.

All kinds of things, all kinds of things.

Letting Tang Wuyi, who was originally fearful of this place, once again had her legs and stomach trembling.

“Infernal Hell Diagram.”

The Infernal Ghost King suddenly opened his mouth at this moment, then glanced at the House Master:

“Now this king truly believes what you’ve said in your mouth, about you and my master ancestor.”

“That’s right, this is precisely the Infernal Hell Diagram.”

The House Master nodded:

“The Ghost King Palace also has a copy?”

The Infernal Ghost King nodded:

“I just didn’t expect that this would be a door ……”

“The one inside your Ghost King Palace is not, I think it is for the memorial of the Ghost King Palace’s ancestor.

“Come on, you should know what to do.”

The Infernal Ghost King glanced at the night fork whose eyes glowed with a dark color, gently nodded his head, and came to follow him to stretch out his palm and slowly pressed it on one of the night fork’s hands.

That hand was empty, specifically in the direction of the portal.

There was a clear indentation of the palm.

The House Master, on the other hand, also reached out his palm and pressed it onto the other Nightmare’s hand.

As the two people simultaneously exerted their inner strength, the eyes of the two Night Forks instantly glowed with two different luster.

One was gloomy and pitch black like ink, while the other was miserably pale white like snow.

These two colors flared up from the eyes of the two Night Forks, and then using this as a starting point, they slowly flowed and drew a line along the body of the Night Forks.

This line was odd and complex, and seemed to be some sort of traveling work catalogue.

And spread to the end, the internal force contained in the two Night Forks, but also connected to a place.

Just heard the House Master say:

“This is the moment, transport the force in the opposite direction.”

The Infernal Ghost King followed his words, only to hear a rumbling low sound ringing out, the center of this mural was suddenly presented with a gap.

The gap turned bigger and pulled open into a portal.

It was only until a ‘click’ sounded from these two stone walls at the same time that the House Master opened his mouth and said:

“It’s done, collect your power!”

Both of them spread out their palms at the same time, slowly withdrawing their power into their bodies and channeling their qi back to the origin.

The Heartless Mansion Master swayed slightly, and Jiang Ran glanced at her:

“You’re considered to have recovered from a major illness, and the internal energy in your body is disorganized and has yet to be suppressed properly.

“Moreover, you still have a portion of my internal energy mixed in your body.

“You still need to run the circumference properly for one night, and you’ll be fine.”

“This lord understands.”

The Prefecture Lord glanced at Jiang Ran, and Tang Yuyi couldn’t be bothered to see if there was any deep meaning in the Prefecture Lord’s eyes.

This place was cold and odd, morose and tight.

She only cared about being scared.

On the contrary, it was Ye Jingxue who could vaguely see a few hints of ghostly resentment in those eyes.

“Let’s go.”

The Mansion Master said:

“The Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide, it’s in here …… only ……”

She looked back at the people present:

“Devil Elder follow this lord inside, and the Infernal Ghost King may also enter.

“Everyone else, could you wait here for a moment?”

“Good.”

Tang Shixiang nodded.

“Many thanks.”

The Mansion Lord also acknowledged the favor.

The Underworld Cave was, after all, the most crucial place among the Heartless Ghost Mansions.

Not only did it contain all sorts of exotic treasures collected by the two grandmasters back then, it also hid the Heartless Ghost Mansion and the Ghost King Palace’s fundamental mastery.

Therefore, in addition to Jiang Ran, the world’s devil, it is best for others not to come in, or not to come in.

Tang Yuyi was a bit reluctant.

It wasn’t that she wanted to go in, but she didn’t want to leave Jiang Ran, and always felt that she would be very insecure if he left.

It was good that there was still Tang Shixiang on the side.

She was barely able to settle down.

Tang Shixiang was also helpless towards this sister in her own family.

Obviously strong martial arts, the heart of the devil idea is a rare mastery under the sky, ordinary people can play in the palm of their hands at will.

Fear of ghosts …… even if you know that someone is pretending to be a ghost, you will not be able to control your emotions and can not help but be afraid.

Weakness is really too obvious.

It could be said that places like the Ghost King’s Palace, the Heartless Ghost Mansion, and the Yin Feng Valley were Tang Yuyi’s natural enemies.

Luckily, of these three ancestral masters who pretended to be gods and ghosts, two of them were considered to be on good terms with Jiang Ran, otherwise, if they were hostile, Tang Wuyi wouldn’t be able to be of much use in the midst of it all.

Several people were waiting here, while Jiang Ran had already followed the Heartless Master into the Underworld Cave.

Next to him was the Infernal Ghost King.

Having come here, he also wanted to see what was in this Underworld Cave.

But what he saw was quite disappointing.

Are some of the jianghu’s exotic treasures, some valuable, some fatal, counted as earthly mundane things, not worth mentioning.

However, raise his step forward, look again, his color changed slightly.

See directly in front of the stone monument above, hanging two paintings.

Before the paintings, there is also incense.

Only the incense had long been extinguished, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on the table.

The master of the house was prepared, a shake of the sleeve, a strong wind swept through, blowing away the surrounding dust.

Then he took out two clusters of incense from his sleeve, one was handed to the Infernal Ghost King, and the other was left in his own hand.

Taking out a fire discount and lighting it, he inserted it into the incense burner.

He also took out a few candles and embedded them within the lampstand.

Only then did he kneel on the futon and kowtow respectfully.

Only then did the Infernal Ghost King realize this, and also lit the incense and kowtowed after him.

Jiang Ran knew that the two paintings depicted on these two paintings were the two grandmasters of the Ghost King’s Palace and the Heartless Ghost Mansion lineage.

Therefore, he was in no hurry.

Only after the two people had paid their respects to their ancestors did they look at the Heartless Mansion Lord.

Heartless Mansion Master didn’t open his mouth either, but instead, from on top of that offering table, he took over a box and handed it over to Jiang Ran:

“Inside this, is the Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide.”

“This incense tablet ancestor portrait, was left here a hundred years ago?”

Jiang Ran took the box and casually asked.

“How do you know?”

“Hundreds of years down the line, this portrait has long been destroyed. With the environment here, as well as the degree of decay of this portrait, one can tell that it’s been at most a hundred years.”

Jiang Ran said softly.

“That’s right.”

The Mansion Master nodded:

“A hundred years ago, other than inviting that Ghost King here to jointly open the Underworld Cave and collect the Heavenly Demon Treasure, the most important thing was to set up an offering table for the Ancestor.

“Only, making offerings here is destined to be a poor incense burner.

“It’s a good thing that no matter if it’s the Heartless Ghost Mansion or the Ghost King’s Palace, they all have their own places of worship, when they won’t let the Ancestor Master go hungry down there.”

Jiang Ran nodded and didn’t speak, instead looking at this box in his hand.

He pondered slightly and placed it back on top of the offering table.

Then took a few steps away from it before he flexed his fingers.

With a buzzing sound, the lock on the box was instantly broken by this finger of his, and the astral wind that was set off happened to open this box.

The Heartless Mansion Lord and the Infernal Ghost King were both stunned.

The heart said that this box can seem to be that year that the demon father entrusted, could it be that there is still hidden organs and hidden weapons inside?

However, they did not expect that once this lid was opened, there was a buzz, buzz, buzz!

Thousands of silver needles emanated from this box.

“Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle!”

The three people present were all experts, not to mention that there was still a distance from the box, and they immediately shot out to stop this rain of needles.

The Mansion Master frowned slightly:

“That demonic father, what a powerful mind …… Isn’t he worried that the person who obtains this item in the future will be mistakenly injured by this torrential rain of pear blossom needles?”

“If even this little bit of caution is not there, then this devil sect’s devil, I guess it will not be a few days.”

Jiang Ran came to the front and looked towards the box.

What he saw in the box was a jade ring.

The jade ring wasn’t small, and four small words were engraved right above it: Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide!

But at this point, Jiang Ran did not rashly reach out to touch, but took out some bottles and jars in his arms.

Casually open a hand, to this Heavenly Devil Treasure Guide sprinkled a bit of powder.

Immediately, a gust of white mist dispersed from the Heavenly Devil’s Treasure.

“It’s still poisonous!

The House Master was truly infuriated this time.

Back then, that demonic father had given this Heavenly Demon Treasure Annals to the Heartless Ghost Mansion for safekeeping, and he was only afraid that he still had thoughts in his mind, worrying that the Mansion Master would secretly take it for himself.

Therefore, not only did he place a mechanism in the box, but he also put poison in it.

If the master of the house has bad intentions, can avoid the first, I’m afraid I can’t avoid the second.

Of course, this might not be used against the House Master.

Rather, it is worried that there will be a mistake on the road, and then the person who gets this thing, after these two assassinations, is bound to die on the spot.

Only this means whether it is to deal with those with evil intentions, or to deal with the House Lord, is enough.

The only drawback is that it may harm the future generations of descendants.

But fortunately, the current Demon Lord was Jiang Ran.

He is cautious to the extreme …… easily peeking through the twofold mechanism of this box.

But even at this point, he didn’t immediately take out the Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide, but instead, after removing the organs in the box, he re-covered this box.

“That demonic father back then had too dense a mind, it’s hard to say if there’s still any backhandedness in this.

“It’s better for this Prefecture to take it out and study it slowly.

“Thank you for leading the way, Your Highness, this honored one will take his leave.”

“Outrageous, taking something and running away? Can’t you stay here for a few more days?”

The Heartless Prefecture Lord was a bit angry.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“It’s better not to, my lord is worried that your thieving heart won’t stop and you’ll have other hidden plans.

“So, it’s best for us to say goodbye.

“Ghost King, Prefecture Lord, I’ll see you again.”

With that, he turned around to leave.

“Wait.”

The one who opened his mouth to speak was not the Mansion Lord, but the Infernal Ghost King, who was frowning:

“You brought this king out, shouldn’t you send this king back again?”

“…… Could it be that the Ghost King doesn’t know the way?”

The Infernal Ghost King stalled and said only after a long time:

“No! How could this king not know the way? Even if I don’t know the way, I can still distinguish the direction and turn back.”

“Since you know the way, with your martial arts skills, wanting to safely return to the Ghost King Palace is naturally an easy task.”

Jiang Ran said:

“My father still has important matters to attend to, so I won’t send the Ghost King off on this trip.”

“Wait again!”

The Infernal Ghost King called him back again.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

“What’s wrong again?”

The Infernal Ghost King was half speechless.

Jiang Ran was also a bit impatient:

“Just say …… what you have to say, swallowing like a woman.”

“What’s wrong with a woman?”

The House Lord was furious.

“Nothing nothing ……”

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“Women can be good.”

“……”

The Prefecture Lord felt like he wasn’t being comforted at all.

He also couldn’t help but look at the Infernal Ghost King.

This person was really swallowing so hard.

Finally, the Infernal Ghost King seemed to have made a good determination and said in a voice that sounded like a mosquito:

“Give some money ……”

“What?”

Jiang Ran thought he had heard wrong.

The Infernal Ghost King was furious:

“Give some money for the coils! Otherwise, does this king still rice all the way back to the Ghost King Palace?”
