"Ah this..."

Everyone looked at the giant bronze door slowly opening in confusion.

Behind the bronze door, there was darkness.

"Are we... still digging the hole?" Li Deyang asked slowly.

"Since the door is open, let's go through the main entrance." Gu Tianchen carried a halberd and walked in first, followed by the others.

After walking along a gravel road, an ancient-style town appeared. It looked abandoned for a long time and was a bit dilapidated.

Baili Pangpang tightly grasped Lin Qiye's arm and shivered involuntarily.

"Hiss... It's so cold, and there are eerie scenes everywhere. Where is this?"

"Wait, I'll go ask for directions."

Gu Tianchen threw the Silver Dragon Halberd from his shoulder and pointed it at the air. The sharp tip of the halberd flashed with a cold light, as if threatening someone.

"Is he... okay?" Li Deyang asked with concern.

Others have become accustomed to Gu Tianchen's daily outbursts.

"He's asking for directions." Cao Yuan said calmly, holding the knife.

"Ask for directions?" Li Deyang was confused. "There's not even a ghost here, why ask for directions?"

Cao Yuan carefully sensed his surroundings and said seriously, "The death energy here is several times thicker than outside. There must be a large number of ghosts."

Shen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows. "You are a monk who changed his profession halfway through his life. How can you know about these things?"

Cao Yuan replied, "When I was training with Master Jin Chan, he taught me some techniques for transcending the dead."

"Haha, judging from your violent forbidden ruins, it is probably a physical salvation." Shen Qingzhu sneered.

Gu Tianchen retracted the Silver Dragon Halberd and walked over.

"I asked, and this is Fengdu."

"Huh? Aren't we in the underground space of the Northeast's primeval forest? How did we end up in the southwest? This doesn't look like a place with hot pot." Baili Pangpang said.

Lin Qiye said seriously: "The Fengdu he mentioned refers to the ghost town in the underworld."

"What?"

"I've done good deeds all my life. Even after death, I'll ascend to heaven and become a god. How could I end up in the underworld, Fengdu?"

Baili Pangpang looked around in horror, "If this is really the legendary Fengdu, there should be ghosts, right?"

"Who do you think I asked for directions just now?" Gu Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Tianchen, what does a ghost...look like?" Baili Pangpang asked curiously.

"You have the Eyes of True Vision, so put them on and see for yourself." Gu Tianchen shrugged.

Baili Pangpang took out the Eye of True Vision from his free space, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to put it on.

"Forget it, curiosity killed the cat. I'd rather not watch it."

As Baili Pangpang said this, he was about to take back the Eye of True Vision.

"Give me."

Shen Qingzhu snatched the glasses from his hand and put them on herself.

All around, countless ghosts looked at them cautiously.

Some hid behind the door with half of their heads showing, while others hid behind the trees and discussed something in a low voice.

Their appearance looks no different from when they were alive, except that they seem a little unreal, like holographic projections.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed over and pounced straight at Baili Pangpang.

"Fat man, be careful!"

Shen Qingzhu grabbed Baili Pangpang by the collar and pulled him away, and the black shadow missed.

Except for Gu Tianchen and Shen Qingzhu, no one else on the scene could see this evil ghost emitting black evil energy.

"Damn it, you are tired of living, how dare you attack this guy?" Gu Tianchen stood in front of everyone with a silver dragon halberd in his hand.

Because they have been trapped here for too long and have not entered reincarnation, many of the ghosts have absorbed a large amount of Yin energy and turned into irrational ghosts. They start to attack indiscriminately when they encounter the breath of living people.

Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold, and he injected his mental power. The soul-breaking sword in his hand popped out and slashed at the evil ghost.

The evil ghost didn't know how powerful the Soul-Breaking Sword was. He let out an angry roar and pounced towards Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu raised his sword and split the evil ghost, which was emitting evil energy, in half. The ghost disappeared directly into the air, and its soul was scattered.

The ghosts who still had some sanity around were frightened and fled in all directions when they saw how powerful the black knife in Shen Qingzhu's hand was.

"What...what's going on?" Baili Pangpang asked in confusion.

"Just now, a fierce ghost rushed towards you, but was chopped to pieces by Brother Zha." Gu Tianchen explained.

"Brother Zha, I knew you were the best to me." Baili Pangpang pounced on Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu stretched out his hand and pressed against Baili Pangpang's fat face.

"Stop, I'm just repaying the favor you gave me when you gave me the Soul-Breaking Sword."

Baili Pangpang asked seriously, "Brother Zhua, considering that I gave you the Soul-Breaking Sword, can you protect me?"

Shen Qingzhu rubbed the black ring on his hand. "I can't guarantee your absolute safety, but before I die, no ghost can hurt you."

"You're so handsome, brother." Baili Pangpang looked at Shen Qingzhu with admiration.

Gu Tianchen looked at Cao Yuan and asked, "Do you still remember the mantra for salvation that Master Jinchan taught you?"

"Remember, what do you want to do?" Cao Yuan asked with a puzzled look.

"These ghosts are trapped here and cannot enter reincarnation. I plan to help them be liberated." Gu Tianchen said seriously.

"Physical salvation?" Shen Qingzhu asked, holding up the Soul-Breaking Sword in his hand.

Gu Tianchen rolled his eyes and said, "Put down the knife. This time we're going to follow the formal procedures, just like those ghost soldiers outside."

Shen Qingzhu shrugged and retracted the Soul-Breaking Sword.

Gu Tianchen carved a magic circle and asked Cao Yuan to sit in the middle of the magic circle and start chanting the scriptures for rebirth.

Waves of Sanskrit sounds spread out with the blessing of the magic circle, and the ghosts trapped here turned into golden light and re-entered the six realms of reincarnation.

Beads of sweat appeared on Cao Yuan's forehead, and Jinxu was in a state of rampage at any time.

"What's wrong with him?" Lin Qiye frowned.

"Old Cao's cultivation is not good enough, and he is also plagued by the sins of killing. To liberate the souls of the dead on such a large scale will cause the karmic fire to burn him."

"Once you are contaminated by the karmic fire, it will cling to you like a maggot on your bones, using Cao Yuan's sins as fuel. It will be impossible to extinguish it until you are burned to death." Gu Tianchen explained.

Lin Qiye's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? If you knew it was so dangerous, why did you let him do it?!"

Gu Tianchen waved his hand and said, "Calm down, calm down. The Red Lotus Karma Fire from the depths of the Netherworld is indeed powerful, but don't forget that the Dutian Divine Fire I cultivate can suppress all other fires in the world."

"Without this diamond, would I let Lao Cao take such a risk?"

boom!

Black and red flames surged out of Cao Yuan's body, forming an illusory red lotus that slowly bloomed with him as the center.

"graft."

Gu Tianchen placed his hands on Cao Yuan's shoulders and transferred all the karmic fire to himself.

Cao Yuan woke up with a long sigh, feeling that the sin of killing that had lingered in his heart for many years had eased a lot.

What Master Jinchan said was indeed true. Gu Tianchen could indeed eliminate the sins on his body.

Gu Tianchen stretched out his hand, and a black and red flaming lotus kept spinning in his palm.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire is also a special flame, and it is not known whether it can pass the test of Pangu Temple.

Gu Tianchen's mind moved, and he placed the flaming red lotus in his hand into the Pangu Temple.
