Humans!

That rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds was actually a human!
When the word 'human race' was uttered from the mouth of the Nightmare Eater and echoed between heaven and earth, all the creatures of the Nine Netherworlds and the cultivators of the human world were instantly petrified.

Outside the Five Directions Formation, the once noisy world suddenly fell silent.

The first to recover from their shock were the powerful figures of the Nine Netherworld. Just moments before, they were furious about the infighting between Cangming and Hua Changxi, but now all their anger was suppressed by an incredulous astonishment, and the next second they completely erupted into chaos.

The roars, curses, and howls mingled together, echoing through the starry sky.

"Damn it! Utterly bastard!"

"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"

In stark contrast to the fury and rage of the powerful beings of the Nine Netherworlds, the cultivators of the mortal realm remained silent.

There were no gasps, no discussions, only faces filled with disbelief, their eyes swirling with shock and bewilderment.

"Master, I...I really don't know..."

Chu Junyi couldn't hide his guilt. He really didn't know that the Nine Netherworld Loose Cultivator who was following him was actually a human in disguise.

If he hadn't deliberately lured that person, perhaps that person wouldn't have been trapped in the Five Directions Formation.

The four men, including Meng Ziyu, were also dumbfounded, losing their usual composure.

Meng Ziyu swallowed hard, his voice tight and filled with uncertain speculation: "That...that guy...could he be the 'human' that all the factions in the Nine Netherworlds are after?"

These words were like a needle piercing Chu Junyi's heart. His hand gripping the sword tightened suddenly, and his knuckles turned slightly white.

Looking at his apprentice beside him, who was filled with self-reproach, Wei Zhenjie did not offer any words of comfort. Instead, he frowned, his gaze deep, lost in thought.

If that rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds is truly human, then who could he be?

Why follow Junyi?
Wei Zhenjie's gaze slowly swept over the various human forces not far away, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Coincidentally, the leaders of the various factions were also looking at him.

As they looked at each other, they could see the curiosity and confusion surging in each other's eyes.

Yes, who could it be?
All the top human forces participated in this Nine Gates Auction, and each side brought many prodigies to broaden their horizons.

Wei Zhenjie's gaze swept over the various prodigies, and when it swept towards the Pill Saint Hall, his eyes suddenly paused. When he looked at the Nine Netherworld rogue cultivator in the Five Directions Formation again, his eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

Could it be that guy?

It should be.

Among the prodigies of the human race, she is the most troublesome; if one is not careful, she can cause a huge commotion.

After their initial outburst of rage, the powerful beings of the Nine Netherworlds quickly regained their composure.

Su Mingyue looked at the Nightmare Eater: "You said that rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds was human, and that he stole your Nine Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit."

“I remember you said the same thing to that Soul Clan member riding the Netherworld Deer at the mouth of the Netherworld River Waterfall in the fifth level of the Nine Netherworld.”

"Could that Soul Clan member be the Nine Netherworld rogue cultivator within the great formation?"

The Nightmare Beast sensed the doubt in Su Mingyue's words. Under other circumstances, it would have taught this arrogant ghost king a lesson.

But at this moment, because its appearance disturbed the minds of the beings in the Nine Netherworlds and the cultivators in the human world, it was in a very good mood and didn't pay much attention to it.

"No matter how the appearance of humans changes, their soul essence cannot be altered."

After these words were spoken, none of the powerful figures in the Nine Netherworlds questioned them anymore.

The reason is simple: the Nightmare Eater enjoys eating souls, and its ability to track souls is even more advanced than that of the Soul Clan.

Lady Higanbana narrowed her eyes: "So, the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm—the Netherfire Match—is in the hands of that rogue cultivator from the Nine Nether?"

"So that's why Cangming suddenly came to the Nine Passes Auction House. It turns out he came for the Netherfire Match."

After a pause, Lady Bi'anhua seemed to realize something: "That rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds must be that little ghost from the Ghost Clan who was transformed."

All the powerful figures of the Nine Netherworlds had an impression of that little ghost clan member.

"No wonder that brat could produce magical artifacts from various races of the Nine Netherworlds. Now it seems that the mysterious ghost clan that was massacring various races at the fourth abyss entrance was her!"

The demon clan expert glared coldly at Su Mingyue: "What's wrong with your ghost clan? Such trash! You didn't even know a human had infiltrated your ranks."

Su Mingyue did not refute.

There's nothing we can do; that human race just happens to prey on the demon race in disguise.

None of the Nine Netherworld experts were aware of the need to control their volume. They were certain that with Cangming present, he would be the last survivor in the Five Directions Formation. Therefore, they were not afraid that human cultivators would hear their conversation.

As expected, the human powerhouses' expressions turned rather unpleasant after hearing the discussion among the Nine Netherworld experts.

Previously, although they were surprised that the rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds was actually a human in disguise, they were mostly just curious and guessing who that person might be.

As for whether she could survive in the Five Directions Formation, everyone skipped over that. But now that they knew the key to unlocking the Nine Nether Soul Realm was in the hands of that person, none of the leaders could remain calm.

Will she survive?

"With the vast ocean present, it's difficult."

Listening to the discussions around him, Chu Junyi couldn't accept that a human powerhouse had died because of him. Guilt and self-blame almost overwhelmed him.

Wei Zhenjie sensed the disorder in his disciple's aura and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Calm down. No one can say for sure how things will turn out until the very last moment."

Chu Junyi keenly noticed the ease in Wei Zhenjie's tone, paused for a moment, and immediately asked, "Master, do you know who that person is?"

Wei Zhenjie did not answer, but simply gestured for his apprentice to continue watching.

As soon as the Lord of the Yellow Springs and the Nightmare Eater appeared within the Five Directions Formation, Hua Changxi sensed them and naturally heard the Nightmare Eater's shouts.

Upon hearing the Nightmare Eater admit that it had 'stolen' its Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit, she gained a new appreciation for the shamelessness of this great demon.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about it.

The cage formed by the six intertwined water pythons was shrinking rapidly, the space was being compressed to an extreme degree, and the restrictions on her were constantly increasing.

Relying solely on soul power is no longer sufficient to break free.

Now that the Nightmare Eater has revealed her identity, there's no need for her to continue pretending.

Hua Changxi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a strange purple light suddenly burst forth from the depths of her originally clear black and white pupils.

"Boom!"

Purple lightning and fire appeared out of nowhere, carrying an aura of domineering destruction, and instantly wrapped around the white bone knife along her arm.

The originally pale bone blade was instantly enveloped in purple flames, as if a thunderbolt had struck.

Hua Changxi raised his bone knife high, accompanied by a sky full of purple lightning, and slashed at the thickest water python in front of him.

The blade flashed like lightning, and thunder and fire spread like wildfire.

With a shrill scream, the seemingly indestructible water python was instantly severed, and purple lightning spread wildly along the water flow, instantly detonating the entire water prison.

At the very moment Hua Changxi broke free of the prison, Cangming on the other side also erupted.

Thanks to the Nightmare Eater's thunderous roar, the massive sonic shockwave unexpectedly dispelled the illusion created by the lingering echo of the Soul Bell, forcibly waking Cangming from his deep nightmare.

"Ah~"

With a roar filled with savage fury, Cangming's aura surged, and with a series of 'poof! poof! poof!', more than a dozen soul-stabilizing wooden needles that had been embedded in his body were forcibly forced out by him.

The two of them escaped at the same time!

However, the white bone knife in Hua Changxi's hand shattered with a "crack" after cleaving through the water prison formed by the six water pythons.

The White Bone Blade is a weapon of the underworld and cannot withstand the destructive power of thunder and fire.

Having exhausted her soul power, she immediately left Cangming and flew to the edge of the Soul Domain.

As for Cangming, his soul was damaged from forcibly releasing the Soul-Stabilizing Wooden Needle, which prevented him from launching any further attacks.

The two gazed at each other from afar.

The battle ended, and the area inside the formation fell silent; outside the formation, no one uttered a sound either.

With the appearance of thunder and fire, the fact that the rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds was a human was confirmed.

The reason is simple: the beings of the Nine Netherworlds are utterly incapable of subduing thunder and fire.

Inside the formation, Hua Changxi, aware of her weakness in soul power, did not want to fight Cangming to the death, so she said, "Cangming, we have no enmity with each other, there is absolutely no need to fight to the death."

Cangming sneered, "If you want me to back down, fine, hand over the Netherfire Firewood and the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit."

Hua Changxi's eyes flashed, and she suddenly realized: "So you've been eyeing me because you've got your eye on my things."

"The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit was something I traded for with the Netherworld Blade and the Nightmare Eater. If you want it, go find the Nightmare Eater."

As for the ghost fire match

Hua Changxi thought of the dark blue ball of light that had been snatched from right under the noses of the Nine Netherworld Powers. In order to obtain more information, he deliberately asked, "What was that?"

Hearing this self-righteous 'ignorant statement,' Wei Zhenjie on the city wall of Duimen Pass was almost certain of the identity of the rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds.

Playing with fire, being ignorant, and even causing trouble in the heart of the Nine Netherworld, leading to a kill order from all the races of the Nine Netherworld. Only that guy has the ability to do that.

Wei Zhenjie's heart, which had been pounding, could finally settle down at this moment.

Chu Junyi sensed the relaxed aura emanating from his master, and his tense heart also relaxed. It seemed that his master recognized who that person was and had great confidence in her.

As long as that person doesn't die because of me! (End of Chapter)
