You are all immortal cultivators, how dare you challenge my heavenly tribulation?

Chapter 324 Fang Lei is defeated, the finale! (Wrong)
Fang Lei left, waving his sleeves, without taking a single cloud with him...

This is true in theory, but a little black tiger followed. Fang Lei did not refuse and left with the little black tiger.

His and little Xuanhu's figures gradually moved away in front of Cheng Moxiao and Xuanhu until they disappeared without a trace.

The next time Cheng Moxiao heard news about Fang Lei was ten years later...

*****
Cheng Moxiao did not hesitate at all and directly opened the passage, bringing a large number of black tigers to a space under the ground of the five countries.

This was the place where the spirit of Wutongshen escaped before. But now it has become eerie and strange, filled with a thick aura of death and coldness. Even Zuo Xiangyang was unwilling to come here often.

However, these Nether Black Tigers seemed to have found their home. They felt extremely comfortable and at ease in this space.

They closed their eyes and enjoyed the unique atmosphere here.

"This place will be your habitat from now on, but you also need to take the responsibility of guarding the passage here, okay?" Cheng Moxiao asked with a stern face.

As soon as he finished speaking, several seriously injured old black tigers had a brief exchange, and finally a young black tiger named "Youquan" spoke as a representative.

"Okay!" Youquan looked directly at Cheng Moxiao and said with a firm tone.

"Let me ask you, you don't need to eat people, right?" Cheng Moxiao nodded, but suddenly he asked with a little concern.

It's not that he didn't believe Fang Lei, but the black tigers in front of him were seriously injured. He couldn't help but worry that they would be like other monsters and would need to rely on eating humans to recover from their injuries.

"After you started practicing Taoism, will you still eat ordinary grains?" Upon hearing this, Youquan's tiger eyes revealed a bit of surprise, and he asked Cheng Moxiao speechlessly.

"Eat! Why not eat it if it's delicious?!" Cheng Moxiao nodded, and even asked Youquan in confusion.

"..." Youquan choked and added helplessly, "The energy replenished by eating mortals can't even keep up with our consumption. We won't do such a thankless task."

"But doesn't it mean that big demons and big monsters all like to massacre cities?" Cheng Moxiao was a little surprised and inadvertently revealed his inexperienced side.

However, this made Youquan feel a little more at ease with him. Youquan took the initiative to explain:

"Generally speaking, when those great monsters massacre a city, they don't eat life, but something higher!"

“???” Cheng Moxiao expressed that he didn’t understand.

"For example, the power of the netherworld, telekinesis, cause and effect, destiny and other powers."

“If we need to massacre a city, the first thing we need to do is to completely trap the city and let the mortals inside produce a strong breath of death and death power. This is what we need!”

Cheng Moxiao showed a vigilant look, but Youquan continued to talk to himself:

"Because the energy of life is something we hate! We will only absorb the power when the entire city turns into a dense city of death. But if we do so, we will inevitably attract the attack of the monks."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Moxiao nodded in understanding.

“So if we have a choice, we would rather go to a place like a mass grave, where there is a ready-made aura of death.”

"But the netherworld power here is purer than that in the mass grave. We don't even need to consume the impure death energy in the mass grave."

As Youquan explained, Cheng Moxiao's vigilance gradually dissipated.

But he began to twitch his lips involuntarily, because he found that he liked to be alone more and more recently...

Especially when he ran to a place where there were piles of dead bodies, Zuo Xiangyang felt that he was shabby more than once. "When I first saw you, you were full of the aura of the underworld. Obviously, you must have liked running to this place, right?"

Cheng Moxiao nodded and looked at Youquan eagerly.

"The reason is very simple. Just like living people don't like to run around the dead, you just don't like to run around the living. You are beginning to hate the "life energy." Youquan was a little helpless. How come he became a teacher?
But being a teacher also has its advantages. Judging from the eyes of this person, he will definitely become a giant in the future.

As the first group of the Netherworld Clan to surrender, the status of the Netherworld Black Tiger Clan will rise rapidly and they will have an extremely reliable backer.

"Is there any way to solve it?" Cheng Moxiao asked.

Youquan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but suddenly he remembered a rumor, and immediately looked into Cheng Moxiao's eyes and said, "Why don't you ask your eyes?"

"Eyes? The pupil that can see through the dark?" Cheng Moxiao was also stunned. Yes, wasn't it because of these eyes that he became like this?

"If wood and rotten wood are two states of wood, then you are in the state of rotten wood at this moment, so you like this environment; but if you can reverse your state and become an ordinary tree, then you will like the opposite environment."

Youquan's words are very simple to understand, in fact, it is the theory of the opposition of yin and yang.

"Death" likes to stay in a "dead environment", but "life" likes to stay in a "living environment". The environment cannot be changed, but one's own state can be changed.

Although Cheng Moxiao was originally a "living person", after staying in a "dead environment" for a long time, his body began to lean towards "death".

So what needs to be done is actually very simple, just make Cheng Moxiao's body tend to be "alive" again!
"How should we do it specifically?" Cheng Moxiao looked at Youquan with sharp eyes.

"How about we ask you next time you come?" Youquan suggested.

"..." Cheng Moxiao did not respond.

"Then I don't know!" Youquan sighed. It could only give speculative suggestions. "The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. The root of your current problem lies in these eyes. So the solution to your problem must also be inseparable from these eyes."

"At least, that gentleman also possesses the Eyes of the Netherworld, but he doesn't have the side effects like you do."

"I understand..." Cheng Moxiao nodded, and then formally thanked Youquan.

Then he entered the underworld without looking back.

He wanted to try out how helpful the method "Huangquan Koushi Jue" passed down to him by Fang Lei could be.

However, he did not come back for a long time after entering the Netherworld this time...

In the first year, Zuo Xiangyang started to get acquainted with Nether Black Tiger, but Cheng Moxiao was still nowhere to be seen.

The next year, Zuo Xiangyang came here again and asked Xuanhu to help pass on a message. Then he left this place, walked out of the Five Kingdoms, and started to venture out.

……

In the tenth year, Cheng Moxiao returned here. At this time, he looked old and had washed away all the worldly things. The energy of life and death surrounded his body, forming a spiral. His aura shocked all the Xuanhu.

At the same time, he heard from Youquan about the defeat of Fang Lei of Yinxu, and he resolutely chose to leave the Five Kingdoms.

Even though Fang Lei had tricked him, it didn't mean that he could just sit there and watch when Fang Lei was in trouble.

Youquan thought for a long time and decided to go out together.

He and Youquan also encountered the enemy arranged by Fang Lei for him - Bai Cangfu
