The muddy riverbed blocked his vision.
However, Su Hen's eyes shone with light, and merit surrounded him.
The river water could not get close.
White Impermanence walked behind him, two steps behind him.
Although the Jinling River was not wide, it was extremely deep.
There was a distance of several hundred meters between the bottom of the river and the surface of the river.
The shallow riverbed was still fine, and he could barely see what was underwater.
However, Su Hen was at the bottom of the river. Sunlight could not reach him.
The surroundings were murky and dark.
In the darkness, there was something moving.
It was a corpse!
A hundred meters in front of Su Hen.
A large number of corpses were lined up neatly in a certain direction.
Some of these corpses were swollen from being soaked in the river, and it looked like they had been submerged in the river for several days.
Some of them had already turned into broken skeletons. Even their clothes had been eaten by fish and prawns, leaving only tattered pieces of cloth.
The scene that resembled the Netherworld was enough to scare ordinary people silly.
However, to the God of Hell, such a scene was nothing.
"My lord."
"They don't seem to have souls?" White Impermanence asked softly.”
"Yes."
Su Hen nodded and confirmed his words.""The soul has long dissipated, leaving only a simple shell.”
"No wonder I didn't sense any ghost energy in the river when I was guarding Jinling.”
"Because there are no ghosts here!”
"There is only a faint will hidden in the river that is driving these corpses forward.”
White Impermanence listened silently and didn't respond.
Su Hen did not expect him to answer. He said,"Let's go and see where these corpses are going.”
They walked quickly along the line of corpses.
Soon, they reached the end.
What entered his eyes was a huge ravine!
The earth was split apart in front of him.
The crack was hundreds of meters wide.
Looking down from the edge, one could only see endless darkness.
From time to time, a few bubbles would rise from the dark ravine.
When the corpses reached the edge of the ravine, they stopped for a moment.
Then, he jumped inside like a dumpling.
He didn't know how long this lasted.
Now, in this ravine.
The densely packed corpses were all floating!
Looking around, there were no less than tens of thousands!
It was like a pit of ten thousand people hidden in the ravine at the bottom of the river!
After all, the Jinling River had existed since the Qin and Han Dynasties.
No one could tell how many corpses were hidden in this river.
White Impermanence was expressionless, as if he was used to such a situation.
After all, there was the River of Forgetfulness in the Ancient Netherworld.
In the endless Yellow Springs, there were countless ghosts and fierce souls!
To him, this was just a small scene.
Su Hen did not show any signs of shock.
He only frowned slightly.
He felt an inexplicable aura from the darkness below the gully.
It seemed familiar.
Most importantly, this aura seemed to be similar to the White Impermanence.
Or rather, it was somewhat similar to many gods in the underworld.
It was as if they came from the same source!
"Could it be that there's a corpse of a god down there?”
Su Hen murmured softly.
He was not sure.
After all, in ancient times, the Netherworld and the Burial Earth had fought a great war.
Countless brutal souls had fallen in the Burial Earth.
As for the Netherworld, they had suffered heavy losses.
Back in the Netherworld, the City God that had turned into a malicious ghost was an example.
"My lord." "Shall I go down and investigate?" White Impermanence asked.”
Su Hen glanced at him and smiled.”
"In the current world, nothing can threaten me.”
The Judge Dharma Idol, along with the Merits Sword, Judge Seal, Life and Death Book, and other tools, was an existence at the peak of the king level.
His own cultivation, coupled with the Yama Seal, was enough to unleash the strength of a peak King.
The two overlapped.
Unless the Grand Lord in the Burial Earth personally descended to this world.
Otherwise, Su Hen would really be fearless.
"Let's go down and take a look."
As Su Hen said this, he took a step forward and fell into the ravine."The source must be here."
White Impermanence naturally didn't hesitate and followed closely behind.
The water pressure increased rapidly.
Countless corpses seemed to come alive at this moment.
They opened their eyes and rushed toward the two figures.
"Humph."
Without Su Hen's help, White Impermanence snorted coldly.
The power of the underworld spread out from his body.
The surrounding corpses seemed to have encountered something terrifying. They retreated continuously and curled up at the edge of the gully, sticking close to the wall.
The entire deep pool was emptied in an instant.
"It's not sneaky."
After sensing it, White Impermanence reported,""There are still no souls among these corpses. There's not even any resentment or ghost energy.”
Su Hen nodded.
Naturally, he had also noticed it.
It wasn't a ghost's doing, but some kind of mechanism had been triggered.
This caused these corpses to be like puppets that had been programmed to attack the living.
The fall did not last long.
If Su Hen had not been observing the inscriptions on the surrounding walls, they could have used their Dharmic powers to instantly reach the bottom.
On the stone wall, the words of the ancient Netherworld were engraved!
However, as the netherworld collapsed, the ghost energy dissipated.
These words also lost their original power and became ordinary.
After being washed by the river for hundreds of years, it had already become extremely blurry.
After looking at it for a long time, Su Hen retracted his gaze in disappointment. He did not obtain any valuable information.
The feeling of being on solid ground came.
The two of them finally arrived at the bottom of the abyss.
He raised his head and looked up.
All that could be seen was a basin-sized white dot of light gathering above his head.
The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, oppressive and deep.
As for the soles of his feet, they were all white bones!
These were the corpses that had sunk into the Jinling River for hundreds and thousands of years.
After so many years, it had long become extremely fragile.
After being stepped on lightly by Su Hen, it turned into mud all over the ground.
These skeletons were laid out in front of him, forming a special trajectory.
It was like a path completely paved with bones.
At the end of the road.
It was a palace!
Or rather, it was a dilapidated palace.
At this moment, Su Hen had already walked to the entrance of the hall.
One door was tightly shut, but the other door was gone.
Half of the plaque at the top was broken.
As for the rest, he could barely make out the words imprinted on it.
" River God of Jinling."
The plaque broke at the edge of the word "God".
Therefore, no one knew what was written after the River God of Jinling on the complete plaque.
"River God?" Su Hen narrowed his eyes slightly.
In ancient times, there were indeed mountain gods and river gods.
Generally speaking, it was conferred by the emperor after the death of the person with great merit.
The canonizing documents were burned during the worship ceremony and sent to the underworld.
After the Netherworld verified and approved it, the final decision was made by Yama.
Once the decision was passed, the title would officially take effect.
In other words, the Jinling River had existed in ancient times.
It was indeed possible that there was a River God!
Of course, the River God Palace was in such a dilapidated state.
Presumably, the River God inside had already fallen along with the collapse of the Netherworld.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Su Hen said softly.
However, when he reached the entrance of the hall, he paused.
There was a line of Burial Earth runes on the threshold.
Looking at the appearance of the rune, it should have been carved recently.
He seemed to have sensed something coming over.
The Burial Earth Rune emitted a faint cold light.
A jet black smoke flew out from the rune and charged straight at Su Hen's face.
In Su Hen's eyes, the Eye of the Netherworld flickered.
The smoke had only flown halfway before it dissipated.
The Burial Earth Rune on the threshold was also forcefully wiped away!
He didn't even have the desire to sell such a small thing.
"Looks like someone came here before.”
Su Hen raised his eyebrows and muttered,"Yin Xing again?"”
The sneaky Burial Earth would not use these runes.
Only people like Zhang Xizhi, who walked the path of evil, knew how to use the power of the Burial Earth characters.
The moment the rune was erased.
In a villa far away in Ningyang City.
"Pfft-"
Blood spurted out.
An old man with a goatee who looked to be in his fifties suddenly opened his eyes.
He wiped the blood off his beard, and a faint light of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Beside the old man.
There were also two old men who looked about the same age.
These three old men were blood brothers.
The old man who vomited blood was the oldest. His name was Uncle He Wen.
Of the remaining two elders, He Wencai was ranked second.
The youngest was He Wenfu.
The He family's ancestor was Master Yin Yang.
However, it was Master Yin Yang from Burial Earth.
He cultivated evil techniques and walked the path of the underworld.
Now, the second ghost had revived.
The Yin-Yang spell passed down in their family could finally be used.
"Big brother."
"Did something happen?" He Wenfu, the youngest, looked at the eldest.”
"Yes."
"The restriction in the River God Estate has been broken!" He Wenbo's face darkened.”
"I also suffered a backlash just now.”
"Did the Ghost Control Bureau make a move?" He Wencai frowned,"I didn't hide it from them."”
"Hmph, that idiot Zhang Xizhi, he can't even collect the Qi of Wrath and Resentment properly!”
"If it weren't for the accident on his side, we wouldn't have to resort to such a plan. It took so much effort."
"And now, we've been discovered!”
He listened to his second brother's complaints.
He Wenbo shook his head slowly.”
"Lin Yu isn't in Jinling, so there's no one in Jinling. They can break my restriction so quickly and can't even stop me!”
"Not even Zhang Ying."
His current strength was at the ordinary A class.
However, Mr. Yin Yang was different from a ghost tamer.
Mister Yin Yang could use various Burial Earth secret techniques, Burial Earth runes, and the right time and place.
Set up the array and activate the secretary.
As long as they had time to prepare.
The three brothers could totally think of a way to kill Zhang Ying!
Moreover, the Burial Earth inscriptions in the River God Estate.
They had also specially borrowed other powers.
If a peak A-class ghost tamer wanted to use brute force to break it, it would take a lot of effort.
"Then what's going on?"
He Wencai subconsciously guessed, Is there a hidden Class S master in Jin Ling City?”
He Wenbo shook his head.
He couldn't explain it clearly.
However, the only thing he could be sure of was that the person who broke the restriction was definitely very powerful.
It was beyond imagination!
"Why don't we take a look?"
"Who is it?" He Wenfu asked tentatively.”
"No."
He Wenbo shook his head.”
"I'm worried that he'll find out if we spy on him.”
"I'll just make a deduction. There's no need to calculate too carefully. I just need to roughly calculate the other party's aura!”
He Wencai and He Wenfu looked at each other and nodded.
Thus, the three brothers began to prepare items and set up the altar.
On the other side.
Su Hen had already walked into the River God's mansion.
The entire mansion was made of stone.
On the remaining walls and pillars, exquisite carvings could be vaguely seen.
It was imaginable.
When the River God was still around, this underwater mansion must have been so magnificent.
Unfortunately.
The River God had fallen, and the mansion had lost the protection of divine power.
Coupled with the passage of time, the river water continued to wash away.
Now, this hall had long become dilapidated.
Everywhere he saw was ruins.
Even the stone pillars supporting the hall were broken.
The world was unpredictable.
Even gods had their moments of perishing.
Su Hen sighed emotionally before walking towards the only hall that was still intact.
This hall was quite spacious.
There were stone tables and chairs inside.
Who knew how many years had passed, but these stone products had also been washed away by the river.
At the front was a table.
The surrounding walls were engraved with the divine patterns of the Netherworld.
However, these shen glyphs had long since dimmed and lost their power.
It seemed that this was the place where the River God usually worked.
It was similar to the Judge Hall that Su Hen was in.
On the edge of the table was a jade box.
The jade box was about 20 centimeters in diameter and was square in shape.
It was engraved with dense runes.
This was used to place the River God Great Seal.
Su Hen's Judge Seal was also placed in a wooden box like this. It was placed in the corner of the table in the Judge Hall.
After all, his main body now possessed the Yama King Seal.
Naturally, there was no need for tools like the Judge's Seal.
Su Hen walked over, casually picked up the jade box, and opened the lid.
It was empty inside!
However, there was still a faint Supreme Dao aura remaining in the box.
The River God Seal had been taken away!
Moreover, it had just been taken away not long ago. It should not have been more than two months.
It happened to be a month after the second round of Ghost Qi recovery!
Su Hen put down the jade box.
He looked behind the table.
There was a jade pagoda there, where the River God usually sat and slept.
At this moment, the jade couch was engraved with dense words.
They were all Burial Earth inscriptions!
These inscriptions emitted a sinister power.
Its function was probably to replace one's aura.
"Substitute!"
Su Hen stared at these inscriptions, and his gaze suddenly focused."Someone wants to be the River God!"
That's right.
Through these traces, he could roughly determine.
Someone wanted to replace the position of the River God of Jinling.
He wanted to become a River God!
If the River God was still around, no one would be able to do that.
After all, there was a limit to one's strength.
However, this River God had been dead for many years.
Only the River God Seal was left.
Naturally, some people had evil thoughts!
" Strange," Su Hen muttered softly," How did they find this River God Estate?”
"It seems like they had a plan. They knew long ago that there was a mansion under the Jinling River.”
"Hmm?"
Just as Su Hen was deep in thought.
His expression suddenly changed slightly. He raised his head and looked in a certain direction.
"Someone actually dares to predict me?"
"But you guys are lucky."
Just now, Su Hen felt that someone was actually deducing his aura.
However, that group of people could be considered lucky.
He was not deducing his main body, but his City God Dharma Idol.
Now, Su Hen had fused with the Judge Dharma Idol.
The City God Dharma Idol was left in the temple.
In addition, that group of people had just calculated and quickly retreated.
The spell dissipated.
This was why Su Hen did not sense it.
Otherwise, as long as the time was delayed for another second.
Su Hen would be able to capture these audacious people.
He had a premonition.
The River God Great Seal must be with these people!
At the same time.
In a villa in Ning Yang City.
Bang!
The altar exploded.
Countless magic tools scattered everywhere.
The three old men spat out blood at the same time and fell to the ground.
Among them, Uncle He Wen was the most seriously injured.
After all, he was injured after the restriction was broken.
Now that he had taken the initiative to bear most of the aura backlash, his injuries had worsened.
She was leaning against the wall, her breathing weak and her face pale.
"Big brother!"
He Wencai was the first to catch his breath, his face rushing to his big brother's side.
He Wenfu also walked over with difficulty, his eyes filled with worry and fear.
Just like that.
After dozens of breaths.
He Wenbo finally caught his breath and slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at his two underlings and smiled bitterly."We've really hit the jackpot this time!”
Hearing this.
The two brothers also had complicated expressions.
That was because they had really detected a wisp of aura when they were doing the ritual just now.
Although he had just detected it, he had forcefully dispersed all his power under He Wenbo's roar.
He would rather suffer the backlash.
But even so, at that moment.
The three brothers also roughly figured out the source of the aura.
City God!
Jinling City's Shing Wong!
The boundless and profound power of virtue and the soul-stirring might of a god were not something that could be resisted!
He Wenfu sighed." Now I finally know why Zhang Xizhi is so useless."”
"I'm afraid that he died in the hands of Lord Shing Wong!”
"Everyone says that the Shing Wong Temple in Jin Ling City is extremely effective.”
"I didn't expect that we would actually encounter it!”
Despair appeared in He Wencai's eyes,"In that case, our plan was in vain.”
"With Lord Shing Wong around, who would dare to be impudent?”
"If you don't want the position of River God of Jinling, forget it.”
"A god is not something that mortals like us can pry into.”
The ancestor of the three brothers was the famous Master Yin Yang.
Before the war between the underworld and the Burial Earth ended, he had already been to Jinling City.
He was even lucky enough to see the River God of Jinling.
Thus, he remembered the location of the River God's mansion.
It would become a story that would be passed down to future generations.
As for He Wenbo and his two brothers, after the second Ghost Qi awakening, they had been killed.
He discovered that there were many Yin-Yang spells passed down from his ancestors.
It could actually be used!
In their ecstasy, the three of them started to study the ancestral records with all their might.
He also happened to see this story.
Thus, the three brothers traveled thousands of miles to Jin Ling City.
He sneaked into the river.
As expected, they found the dilapidated River God Temple.
He even found the River God Seal in the temple!
This was a God Spirit Seal!
According to the legends, if a mortal were to obtain the seal by chance, they could replace the original god and become a god themselves.
Although this was only a legend.
But in reality, it was possible.
The three brothers planned to use the technique recorded by their ancestors to steal the beam and replace the pillar.
He exchanged his own Life Providence with the River God Life Providence left in the seal.
He directly replaced the fallen River God and completely took control of the seal.
Then, he would become a god himself!
However, there was a prerequisite to achieve this.
That was a large amount of resentment.
With the help of this aura of decline and resentment and the Burial Earth inscriptions, he could temporarily suppress the remaining divine power in the seal.
Then, he removed his aura and imprinted his own aura into it.
The task of collecting the Qi of Decay and Resentment had originally fallen on Zhang Xizhi.
Of course, Zhang Xizhi himself was not clear about this.
He only knew that he had met a Mister Yin Yang.
This mysterious Mister Yin Yang had helped him understand the method of borrowing knives passed down by his ancestors.
It was also said that as long as one accumulated enough of the Qi of Resentment, one could head to the Underworld and become a god.
In addition, in the records of his ancestors, there were indeed a few who used this method to ascend to the Netherworld.
Thus, Zhang Xizhi did not suspect anything.
When he came to Jin Ling City, he started to borrow the Disaster Blade.
According to the original plan of the He brothers.
As long as this Zhang Xizhi had collected enough of the power of decline and resentment.
He thought of a way to trick him and kill him.
He would seize all the power of decline and resentment, suppress the seal, and replace the gods!
However, Su Hen's attack earlier had clearly disrupted their plans.
Helpless.
The three brothers had no choice but to use another method. They began to gather countless corpses and head towards the ravine.
These corpses were all containers that were prepared to contain the hatred.
He Wen Bo's expression was a little ferocious and filled with unwillingness.
After a long time, he suddenly said angrily,""No!"
"After making so many preparations and paying such a price, we are now just one step away.”
"If we cross it, the three of us brothers will be able to become gods and step onto the great path.”
"How can I give up now!"
"But…" He Wencai laughed bitterly," That's Lord Shing Wong."
"A true god of the present age!"
"What are we going to use to fight that Shing Wong?”
He Wenbo leaned against the wall, his expression uncertain.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"It's not like there's no way."
"What?" The two brothers looked at him in surprise.
"South Qiu Village!"
He Wenbo's eyes flickered with ruthlessness.”
"In addition, in that instant just now, I sensed something.”
"Lord Shing Wong, there seems to be a wisp of Joss Flame Qi in Qiu Nan Village.”
"We might be able to start from here.”
"Use the Ghost Power of the Locust Tree to test Lord Shing Wong's Joss Flame Divine Power!”
Listening to this plan.
He Wencai and He Wenfu were both stunned.
After a long time.
"Big brother, are you really planning to fight with Lord Shing Wong?" He Wenfu mumbled.”
"So what if I am?"
"It's not like our ancestors haven't done such a thing before!”
"Back then, didn't that ancestor win a battle of magic?”
"It even pulled the City God down from his position!”
"Now, we have a foundation and an inheritance.”
"The three of us working together might not necessarily be inferior to that ancestor!”
The two brothers fell silent.
Indeed, according to the records in his ancestral home.
In ancient times, the He family had an ancestor who once fought with a city god.
In the end, he actually defeated the City God with his mortal body!
Of course, the three of them did not know.
That City God was merely a county City God.
As for that ancestor, he had already stood on the Burial Earth's side and had the help of the Burial Earth!
But the city god of Jin Ling City
Even if the Ghost King in the Burial Earth personally descended, he would be killed by him with a single sword strike!
The position of a god was right in front of him.
Especially just now, he had personally witnessed the might of the City God.
This made the three brothers feel even more excited.
After pondering for a long time.
"Alright!" He Wencai said in a deep voice. Big Brother, I'll listen to you!"
"Me too!" He Wenfu quickly expressed his opinion.
He Wenbo nodded. After resting for a while, he said,"Leave Ning Yang first."
"Although we completely dispersed our aura just now, it's not safe. Let's go to a more remote city first.”
"After that, I'll do the ritual and think of a way to control the incense of the City God in South Hill Village.”
"An ant nest can break a dam of a thousand miles."
"Through this Joss Flame Qi, we might be able to obtain a way to deal with that Shing Wong!”
He had to find a way to deal with a real living god.
The three of them were trembling with excitement.
Meanwhile, at the River God Estate.
Su Hen snorted and turned to look at Bai Wuchang.""Xie Bi 'an."
"Your subordinate is here." White Impermanence quickly cupped his hands.
"Let Gan Liu and Qiao Kun, the two Wandering Gods, lead the ghost soldiers to guard this place.”
"Honorable order!"
