900: Avici Hell, the Gates of Hell

An hour later.

On the soft bed, Xie Weilou opened his eyes and yawned: "The night is long, and the bed is soft. It's a pity I can only sleep for an hour."

Lu Mingya had already returned. She sat on a chair, glancing at Xie Weilou: "It seems you are indeed immune to all poisons!"

After drinking the nine netherworld tea, even consuming the Reincarnation Sect's special Medicinal Pill would usually have some unique effects. However, Xie Weilou looked energetic and completely unaffected.

Xie Weilou sat up and looked at Lu Mingya: "Miss Lu, this bed is very soft and warm. Don't you want to try it?"

"Not very interested!"

Lu Mingya said indifferently.

"Since Miss Lu isn't interested in lying down, let's do something you are interested in."

Xie Weilou left the bed. Outside the room, the sound of music and singing continued, making it seem lively.

But he understood that the music and liveliness at this moment were all illusions.

"We have reached a special sea area; killing intent is about to appear!"

Lu Mingya picked up the whisk sword on the table.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: "Then let's see what level this so-called killing intent can reach."

He walked directly towards the door.

Creak!

Xie Weilou opened the door. Originally, there were still many people visible on the boat, but now, it had become completely deserted.

Those Cultivators seemed to have mysteriously disappeared, but a strong smell of blood could be detected, suggesting that those people had likely perished!

He stepped out of the room and looked down.

In the main hall, only Purple Orchid and Cloud Above Stream remained. Purple Orchid was dancing gracefully, and Cloud Above Stream was playing a zither.

Xie Weilou chuckled: "You two have such elegant tastes!"

"..."

When Cloud Above Stream saw Xie Weilou leave the room, a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

This Xie Weilou was indeed not simple. As Purple Orchid said, a cup of tea truly couldn't harm him.

Purple Orchid stopped dancing. She looked at Xie Weilou and chuckled: "It seems Fellow Daoist Xie is very cautious and didn't drink the nine netherworld tea."

"On the contrary, This Xie drank a cup of nine netherworld tea and then comfortably lay down for an hour."

Xie Weilou smiled calmly.

"Since you have already arrived here, whether Fellow Daoist Xie drank the tea or not makes little difference, because you will die here next."

Cloud Above Stream sighed softly.

Xie Weilou's smile was gentle: "I look forward to your performance. If it can't satisfy This Xie, then This Xie fears he will have to grind you two to dust today."

"Don't worry! We will definitely satisfy Fellow Daoist Xie."

Purple Orchid and Cloud Above Stream moved, immediately flying upwards.

"..."

Xie Weilou's smile turned sinister, and he instantly rushed upwards.

The top of the boat.

It was a spacious platform.

Xie Weilou stood on the platform, looking at Purple Orchid and Cloud Above Stream opposite him: "You two can begin your performance. I still have many questions I want to ask you, but I think capturing you and directly performing soul-searching might yield more information I desire!"

"Then that depends on your ability."

Purple Orchid clapped her hands lightly.

Whoosh!

From all directions of the platform, hundreds of black-clad figures holding weapons instantly appeared, all of them in the Kou Gong Realm.

Xie Weilou glanced at them, shaking his head: "Is that all?"

Purple Orchid chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Xie might want to look at this sea area; you'll find it's different from ordinary sea areas."

"Oh?"

Xie Weilou looked at the surrounding sea.

This sea area was indeed extremely peculiar. The sky was gloomy, hurricanes emerged, and terrifying lightning densely covered it, with flashes of lightning and thunder, carrying the might of annihilation.

Around it stood thirty-six colossal stone pillars. These stone pillars drew upon the great forces of heaven and earth, forming a special Formation. The boat was currently enveloped within this Formation.

Purple Orchid said with a rich smile: "This sea area is called Heavenly Punishment Sea. The stone pillars in all directions happen to form a Heavenly Punishment Grand Array. Even a Venerable, if trapped within the Grand Array, would find it difficult to escape."

After speaking, she and Cloud Above Stream transformed into two afterimages, flying towards one of the stone pillars.

After the two stepped onto that stone pillar.

A Middle-aged beauty, holding a flower lantern, dressed in a gray long skirt, and emanating an eerie Qi, flew out from the sea. She instantly arrived at the stone pillar where Purple Orchid and Cloud Above Stream were.

"Saintess, since you're here, why not show yourself?"

The Middle-aged beauty looked at the boat, her smile somewhat sinister and bloodthirsty.

"Saintess?"

Purple Orchid and Cloud Above Stream were stunned for a second. Was there another Saintess here?

Lu Mingya appeared on the platform above the boat. She looked expressionlessly at the Middle-aged beauty: "Nether Princess, I came specifically for you. Surrender now! Although you are in the Creation Realm, it would be easy for me to kill you."

That Middle-aged beauty was precisely Nether Princess of the Reincarnation Sect, one of the Ten Ghost Envoys.

"..."

Purple Orchid and Cloud Above Stream gazed at Lu Mingya, then looked at Nether Princess, seemingly realizing something, and their pupils couldn't help but contract.

"I was careless."

Purple Orchid's eyes narrowed.

The Boat Master betrayed the Reincarnation Sect, and the Reincarnation Sect had been searching for her.

Now that a Saintess had come to find the Boat Master, the other party was most likely related to the Reincarnation Sect, perhaps even the Saintess of the Reincarnation Sect.

According to rumors, the Reincarnation Sect Saintess was mysterious and unfathomable; they had never seen her in person, and they didn't expect her to have boarded the ship already.

Nether Princess gave a sinister smile: "Let the Saintess break this Heavenly Punishment Grand Array first! Today's situation is prepared not only for that young man named This Xie but also for the Saintess. The show is about to begin, and there will be prizes later. Enjoy yourselves."

She stole the nine netherworld tea and betrayed the Reincarnation Sect. She knew the Reincarnation Sect would never let her go, which was why she chose to align with the Heavenly Palace.

Throughout the entire Eastern Desolation, only the Heavenly Palace could protect her.

"Is that so?"

Lu Mingya's expression was indifferent.

"First, a little appetizer. Kill them!"

Nether Princess waved her hand lightly.

Boom!

Those black-clad figures instantly charged towards Xie Weilou and Lu Mingya.

"Utter nonsense!"

Lu Mingya's eyes flashed with cold light. With a single step, a burst of netherworld Qi erupted, engulfing hundreds of black-clad figures.

Boom!

Hundreds of black-clad figures were instantly crushed into dust by the netherworld Qi, dead beyond revival.

Bang!

Just then, eighteen black-robed figures wearing masks rushed up from below the boat. The Qi emanating from them was even more terrifying; all were in the Early Stage of the Dao Seeking Realm.

"Eighteen Dao Seeking Realm Cultivators, what can they do? Infinite Hell!"

Lu Mingya's expression turned stern, and blood-red light flickered in her eyes. The world instantly transformed into a bloody Asura Field.

On the ground, Corpse Skeletons piled up like mountains, a dense mass as far as the eye could see. Several blood rivers flowed around, looking extremely eerie.

This was not an Asura Field, but Hell—it was Lu Mingya's Domain.

Xie Weilou and the eighteen Dao Seeking Realm Cultivators were all drawn into the Domain.

"This Domain..."

Xie Weilou's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Lu Mingya's Domain was somewhat similar to his Yellow Springs Buried Earth.

Lu Mingya stood not far away, looking down at the eighteen Dao Seeking Realm Cultivators as if they were a group of ants.

"Kill!"

The eighteen Dao Seeking Realm Cultivators didn't hesitate and immediately charged towards Lu Mingya.

"Gate of Hell!"

Lu Mingya slowly extended her hand.

Buzz!

Within the Domain, a massive blood-red bronze gate appeared.

"The prison gate opens, the Ghost King appears!"

Lu Mingya flicked her sleeve.

Rumble!

The Gate of Hell quickly opened, and terrifying netherworld Death Qi surged out.

"Roar!"

A roar came from within the Gate of Hell.

A Hell Ghost King, completely black, covered in numerous black scales, ten meters tall, with bloodthirsty and hideous eyes, rushed out. It wielded a ghost-head blade, and the Death Qi emanating from its body was extremely dense, full of fierce might...
