C588 Fengdu City
However, there were many misunderstandings between humans regarding Underworld.
For example, they always thought that their Underworld was pitch black, and that there were evil spirits that wronged spirits everywhere. However, in reality, as Weiqing and the other two had walked, they had encountered many simple and honest villagers, these people had preserved very pure ancient customs and were not ghosts that had wronged spirits, but rather, living people. The only thing that was different from the people in the human world was that their profound strength was heavy and their faces were pale white.
On a black mountain range that looked like a giant dragon, a large black palace was built against the mountain. The blood cloud in the sky was much more eye-catching than the other places, and it emitted an astonishing infernal energy!
This was Fengdu City, the city with the most power in Underworld!
"This is the place with the densest yin energy in the Underworld, there is an ancient yin vein under the Fengdu City, causing the yin energy here to endlessly flow out of the surface." This is the place with the densest yin energy in the Underworld, there is an ancient yin vein under the Fengdu City, causing the yin energy here to endlessly flow out of the surface.
Lv Futian talked about a lot of Underworld matters along the way.
From what he said, when he was ten years old, the Lu Family's elders once brought Lv Futian for a Underworld tour.
Lv Futian was the head of the Eight Immortals. When he was in the Heaven Realm, the Hee Xiangu, in order to pressure the Supreme Lord, had once brought out the Eight Immortals Cave to talk about matters. It could be seen that the Eight Immortals still had some status in the Heaven Realm, and Lv Dongbin had always took his foundation in the human world very seriously.
"I thought this Feng Shan was black. I didn't expect the forest here to be black …"
Along the way, the surrounding mountain forest was all green, and the deeper they walked in the direction of Fengdu City, the darker the color of the forest became.
There is a deep misunderstanding here.
In the eyes of the people of the Underworld, the lush green vegetation was considered to be a barren land that was undernourished. The darker the color of the trees, the darker the place the better.
Judging from this standard, the Fengdu City was without a doubt an extremely precious cultivation ground with an extremely dense amount of heaven and earth energy.
However, Weiqing and the other two were not used to it, as they felt gusts of cold wind blowing on them …
Beneath the Fengdu City was a huge plaza, and the city walls were more than ten meters tall. On the walls stood many fully armored ghost soldiers, the weapons in their hands glowing with a cold light. And underneath the city gates, there was a black moat. On the surface of the river, there was a stone bridge, and the piers were carved in stone. With three steps and one pole, there were elite soldiers standing like wooden stakes!
"Hehe, to be able to use an expert of Nascent Infant Stage as a guard at a city gate, this Underworld is not as big as the human world's, but its strength is actually quite a bit stronger than the human world's!"
Weiqing sighed with a smile.
Amuli also nodded his head: "Look at their skin color, it's a little bronze, it's different from normal people, this means that these soldiers have cultivated a body tempering method, their bodies are relatively resistant. I heard that in the last hundred years, our Fengdu City has declined by quite a bit, and people from the four great domains are ready to make a move, wanting to split the power among us. If we are to get out of this place and cause great chaos in the Underworld, we will be talking about the people from the big cities and the big four territories, as well as the authority to challenge the Fengdu City! "
"Does this mean that the Underworld has invited us cultivators from the mortal world to assist them in order to suppress the arrogance and arrogance of the four great domains?" Weiqing asked.
Lv Futian shook his head and said, "You can't put it that way. I think that the fact that Underworld invited us to come here and suppress the people from the Four Great Realms is secondary. The distance is not far, and the control of Fengdu City over the four cities is rather strong. Although it is said that the Fengdu City no longer has Emperor Dongyue in it, there are still three great Bodhisattvas left, the Ten Yama Kings, the Six Judge Cao, the Five Great Generals, the Ox-head Horse-Face Brat, and all sorts of other hell which have their foundations still exist! "
"If it wasn't for Heaven Realm secretly supporting the four great domains, these people would not even be a match for Fengdu City!"
Walking to the stone bridge door, a man who looked like a general was leading two soldiers and inspecting the passes of the passersby. Weiqing and the other two then handed over their directions to the general who politely cupped his fists: "May I ask if the three of you are here to participate in the competition?"
Weiqing asked: "Is there any difference?"
"Of course there is. If we are going to enter the city on a regular basis, it would take us quite a bit of time to register them. But, if the three of you are here to participate in the Great Power Competition, then you are my friends from Fengdu City. Not only will you not take any money from this competition, we will also send people to get a carriage to take the three of you to a designated place to rest.
Only then did Weiqing call out his general title plate. The general immediately shouted out and half-knelt down to shout out, "This lowly general, Ling Tong, greets General Wei!"
Subsequently, the two rows of soldiers on the stone bridge half knelt down in salute.
This was the first time Weiqing came to the Underworld after becoming a Underworld Ghost General.
The general stood up and smiled, "General Wei, this way please!"
Under the general's instructions, Weiqing and the other two sat on a four-horse carriage and headed towards the core of the Fengdu City, the Fengdu Inner City.
In the Underworld, there was an extremely strict hierarchy, dividing everyone into different grades, and Weiqing, as a Ghost General, could be considered a high ranking official in the Underworld.
The four horse carriage was the symbol of Underworld's status and power. Walking on the main road, one could walk sideways and have a lot of privileges.
"What an eye-opener!"
As the horse carriage passed through the streets, the pedestrians all looked at the four horses pulling the carriage, and all avoided it. There were even some Yin Slaves with shackled hands and feet kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Yin Slaves, were people who had a Underworld of the ninth rank. They were people who committed heinous crimes while alive, and after the Soul Ferryman sent over the Underworld, they were used as laborers in the Underworld.
These yin slaves were not guilty of much, and did not need to suffer in the eighteenth level of hell.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Fengdu Inner City, Weiqing saw a familiar face!
Cui Yu, the former Underworld Judge!
"Hehe, General Wei Gui, we haven't seen each other in so many years." Cui Yu was very polite to Weiqing's arrival.
Weiqing's face sank. This old fox's position in Fengdu City was far above his, the Ghost General's. To welcome him like this, perhaps he had to 'add fuel to the fire'.
Just as Weiqing was about to get off the carriage, a Yin Slave walked over in fear and tread on his back as he knelt beside the carriage. Weiqing glanced at the Yin Slave, and could not help but jump out of the horse carriage. The Yin Slave seemed to have committed a grave mistake, it continuously kowtowed to Weiqing, its mouth was stuttering, and no one knew what it was talking about.
However, Cui Yu chuckled and said: "You've harmed him!"
Weiqing was puzzled. "Because I didn't step down from his back?"
"That's right, this is the rule, you don't want to step on his back, you violated his duty as a Yin Slave, and blocked the chance for him to atone for his sins. And you have also destroyed the rights that a first-rate person should have! " Underworld was Underworld. No matter how colorful the world was, it was still the darkest place in the Three Realms.
Weiqing frowned: "Then what should I do now?"
