Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 157 Styx
Prison Pavilion is an important place and a forbidden place in the ghost world. It is equivalent to the Tongtian Pagoda in Kunlun Mountain and the Daming Palace in Chaotian City. Even the twelve ghost kings have to get permission to enter.

Xin Yu looked up at Tang Ge slantingly, wondering if this guy is crazy?
He actually wanted to enter the prison pavilion to get the prison book of life and death ghosts. This is undoubtedly more dangerous than taking it directly from the twelve ghost kings. I'm afraid he will be discovered before he gets close.

Tang Ge looked calm, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

Xin Yu was only five years old, she was very small, her head was a bit big, and she was covered in black robes from the neck down. The look of disdain on her pretty face was quite cute.

He rolled his eyes at Tang Ge and said, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?"

Tang Ge said: "You also said that even if you get the Book of Life and Death Ghost Prison from the Ghost King, you will be discovered by the jailer and the four masters. You will definitely not be able to escape by then, so you might as well go to the Prison Pavilion and try."

Xin Yu's expression became very weird, as if he had swallowed a sword alive.

Tang Ge said again: "I think it's safer and safer to go to the Prison Pavilion."

Xin Yu's thick and black eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together, his bulbous nose was slightly arched, and he said loudly, "If you want to die, don't take me with you."

Tang Ge said: "How about the prison pavilion's restrictions?"

Xin Yu said angrily: "The prohibition was imposed by the jailer himself. It is the most supreme sword-qi enchantment in the ghost world. I am afraid that you will be cut into blood foam as soon as you touch it."

Tango was silent.

Xin Yu thought he was afraid, so she glanced at him triumphantly.

After a while, Tang Ge asked again: "Is there a Styx river in the ghost world?"

Xin Yu said, "Yes."

Tang Ge said: "Take me there."

Xin Yu opened his eyes wide, stared at his profile in disbelief and said, "What are you going to do?"

Tang Ge said: "According to the legend, isn't the Book of Life and Death Ghost Prison published at the bottom of the Styx River? Maybe there is a way to enter the prison pavilion."

Xin Yu was shocked and said, "How do you know so much?"

Tang Ge said: "It's all hearsay."

The corner of Xin Yu's mouth twitched, thinking how could such news come from hearsay.

After a long time, he calmed down and said, "That's true. The Styx River can be said to be the birthplace of the ghost world. If there is no Styx River, perhaps there will be no ghost world at all."

Tang Ge said, "Let's go."

Xin Yu looked towards a place in the west of the ghost world and sighed softly.

……

……

The Ghost Realm is extremely vast. The River Styx originates from Duanling Mountain in the west, flows through most of the Ghost Realm, and finally merges into the most dangerous and mysterious Soul Abyss.

The pitch-black mountain stretches for thousands of miles, towering into the clouds, and the top of the mountain is filled with black clouds, thunder and white fire. No one has ever been to that terrifying mountain top.

This is Broken Spirit Mountain, cut off all vitality, but a big river flows out of it.

The river meandered by, and the water was dark and deep. Tang Ge and Xin Yu felt a biting chill just standing on the cliff on the bank.

The river is not fast, but it is like an abyss of purgatory. I wonder if there is a frightening existence hidden in the dark bottom of the river.

The River Styx flows from west to east, makes a sharp turn somewhere, and goes south. After flowing for thousands of miles, it merges into the most dangerous place in the ghost world, Soul Abyss.

Xin Yu looked at the pitch-black river. Even though he had seen it many times, he still felt chills in his heart. He said, "This is the middle reaches of the Styx River. You can't go up or down. It's very dangerous."

Tang Ge nodded, looking from a distance, the dark water in the Styx River rolled up white foam, like skeletons.

His eyes became colder and colder, colder and deeper than the water of the Styx River.

Xin Yu turned to look into his eyes, but couldn't help but shiver, and quickly looked away.

"You... what are you going to do?" Xin Yu asked with lowered eyes and a trembling voice.

Tang Ge said: "I want to go in. You wait for me here and don't run around."

Xin Yu suddenly raised her head and stared at Tang Ge and said, "Are you crazy? Even the Twelve Ghost Kings dare not enter the Styx River easily. You left all your treasures to that girl. What protection do you use?"

Tang Ge frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay, just wait for me here."

Just as Xin Yu was about to say something, he saw that Tang Ge had turned into a sword light and jumped into the Styx River. The dark river water swallowed the sword light, and in an instant, only the sound of water flow remained.

"What a lunatic!"

Xin Yu stared at the Styx River for a long time, finally said this through gritted teeth, and simply found a rock and sat down on it.

His hand finally stretched out from the darkness, chubby, white as jade, holding his chin, it's kind of cute.

……

……

In Meiling, a great battle ended with the loss of both sides. The two patriarchs died, and the great elders of the two clans were seriously injured, and it may be difficult to heal.

There are less than a thousand surviving members of the two clans. This battle has severely damaged their vitality, and it may be difficult to recover within a hundred years.

Liansi led the only surviving Canglan people to clean up the wounds after the war. Just the corpses all over the mountains and plains was a huge project.

The senior leaders of the Kuilin tribe were killed and injured, and only two practitioners in the early Qianyuan stage presided over the overall situation.

The original anger turned into sadness, and many people began to reflect, why did this war start?How did it start?

They also thought about the battle that took place more than ten years ago. Did the Wuhuan people feel the same way?

It took two full days and one night for the Canglan and Kuilin tribes to finish disposing of the corpses.

As night fell again, Liansi stood on the high cliff, standing against the wind, letting the bloody aura remaining in the air blow towards her face.

Starlight shone on his body, dark skin and white animal bones shone coldly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked to the north, which was the direction of Jinggu.

"Moyi, I really underestimated you."

Liansi murmured to herself, her voice was cold, none of them thought that Mo Yi would tamper with Wu Lingquan, and being urged by the Xiandeng patriarch, he blew himself up, causing both patriarchs of the two clans to fall.

He didn't know how Mo Yi did it.

He began to think about another question now, why did the Kuilin tribe suddenly break with the Canglan tribe?
Nobody knows why.

Except for the dead Ku Rong and Rui Yang who had left Meiling.

But apart from Xiandeng and Kurong, no one knows what Rui Yang was doing in that cave. The mountain has collapsed.

The two brothers Rui Yang are inconspicuous existences, and Liansi would never have thought that Rui Yang was the one who started the war.

A black and red sword light streaked across the night and landed beside Liansi, the sword light disappeared, revealing Jiang Shen'er's figure.

Lian Si's face was slightly strange, thinking of the figure who caused trouble in the Kuilin tribe that day, and said: "It's you!"

Jiang Shen'er stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Liansi calmly and said, "Now the Canglan Clan is seriously injured, as the person with the highest status and state of the Canglan Clan, you should take over the Canglan Clan."

Lian Si frowned slightly, and said, "Who are you?"

"Jiang Shen'er."

After a pause, she continued, "Jiang Zhan who died in Meiling was my elder brother."

Liansi's pupils narrowed slightly, and she said, "I never thought that the commander of the Daming Palace Imperial Army is actually the knife sharpener's younger sister."

Jiang Shen'er frowned slightly, and said, "You are also a person who witnessed the war back then, but have you ever seen how he died?"

Lian Si narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Shen'er. The sword energy faintly emanating from the latter's body made even him feel palpitations. He was silent for a moment and said: "God General Liuyun attacked him secretly, and then he was attacked by the two clan leaders Xian Deng and Ku Rong. Wu Lingquan was suppressed and killed in order to combine the three Wu Lingquan with the blood of his supreme blood body."

Jiang Shen'er's face became colder and colder, and sword energy emerged from her body, turning into wind blades, surrounding her.

Liansi's face changed suddenly, and she took a step back subconsciously.

After a long time, the sword energy subsided, and the coldness in Jiang Shen'er's eyes also slowly receded, and he said again: "What happened after that?"

Liansi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "When General Liuyun robbed the Wuling spring of the Wuhuan clan, the head of the Wuhuan clan tried his best to protect it, and even sealed the Wuling spring with his own blood. The blood of the Huan clan restarted Wu Lingquan, so the Wuhuan clan was not exterminated, they just waited for Moyi to restart Wu Lingquan."

"Later, the Wu Lingquan of my Canglan clan was lost for some unknown reason, and I think it should have fallen into the hands of God General Liuyun."

After the words fell, Liansi's eyes dimmed a lot.

Hearing this, Jiang Shen'er was silent for a moment and said, "Why does Jiang Zhan want Wu Lingquan? Don't tell me it's to improve his realm."

Liansi's eyes became very strange, there was a hint of confusion, but also a kind of fear, he said: "The patriarch Xiandeng once told me that the Wu Lingquan was left by the ancestors of the ancient Wu clan and experienced the disaster of the Seven Stars."

Jiang Shen'er raised her brows slightly, and said, "Is he trying to explore the secret of the Seven Star Calamity?"

Liansi said: "Maybe."

Jiang Shen'er lowered her eyes, she thought that the Empress had said that the next disaster of the Seven Stars had already been foreshadowed, did Kui Liu know about it more than ten years ago?
Even Gu Yue Dongtian's head teacher Bei Yi only noticed it in recent years, how did he know so many years in advance?
The more she thought about it, the deeper Jiang Shen'er's eyes became.

Liansi looked at her and said: "The two Wuling springs have been destroyed, General Liuyun must have noticed, he should come to Meiling soon."

Jiang Shen'er said: "I hope you don't let Kuiliu know what I know."

Lian Si hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course, he can be said to be our common enemy."

Jiang Shen'er sneered: "He is very strong. None of us can kill him at the moment."

Liansi smiled and said: "As long as you are alive, there will always be opportunities, and we can cooperate."

Jiang Shen'er's eyes flickered slightly, and said, "How to cooperate?"

Liansi said: "I haven't thought of it yet, but the final result must be that you kill him, and I will take back that third of Wu Lingquan."

Jiang Shen'er didn't respond, but raised his head and looked to the north.

Suddenly there were footsteps behind him, and a Wu Clan child ran over.

Liansi turned around, stretched out her hand to touch his head and said, "What's wrong?"

The fear in the child's eyes has not completely dissipated, he looked at Liansi and said: "I...I seem to see Rui He and his brother leave Meiling."

……

……

Tang Ge has already entered the Styx River for half a day. Of course, for the ghost world, there is no such concept of time.

Sitting on the cliff next to the Styx River, Xin Yu changed countless positions, but her big bright eyes kept staring at the dark river.

Until a certain moment, his dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up abruptly.

A sword light flew out from the Styx River, and landed on the cliff within a few flashes.

There wasn't a drop of water on Tang Ge's body, but his face was pale, and the red clothes were covered with long and thin cracks, and blood patterns appeared in some places.

Xin Yu stared at him with wide eyes, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief after being shocked.

The pitch-black water of the Styx River is filled with endless sword energy. Those sword energy is dense and sharp, which is rare in the world. I am afraid that there is no sword energy in the world of cultivation on the ground that can match it.

Although Tang Ge suffered some injuries, he finally came out alive, which was why Xin Yu was shocked.

In the past, a practitioner of the ghost world who was in the upper realm of nirvana entered the Styx without any preparation, and ended up with no bones left.

Xin Yu stared at Tang Ge closely, with growing curiosity, and said, "How did you do it?"

Tang Ge quietly used the Jian Yuan Kung Fu to repair the injuries left by the ghost world's sword energy, and sword light filled the air all over his body.

Looking at those sword lights, Xin Yu was even more horrified. Although he was young, he knew the strength of the sword energy from the ghost world. The sword energy released from Tang Ge's body was no weaker than the sword energy from the ghost world.

Tang Ge stood with his hands behind his back, looking quietly in the direction of the River Styx, with sword light still flowing around his body, and said, "Maybe it's because my swordsmanship talent is too strong."

Xin Yu pouted and said, "You are so narcissistic."

Tango remained silent.

Xin Yu also calmed down, but his eyes kept falling on Tang Ge.

After a long time, the sword light on the surface of Tang Ge's body disappeared, and his face recovered a bit. He looked up at the black sky where thunder and white fire appeared and disappeared, and said, "Has this place always been like this?"

Xin Yu said: "Yeah, it's very depressing, so I don't like it here, especially after my mother died, I hate it even more."

Tang Ge glanced at him and said, "You really want to leave here?"

Xin Yu nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

Tang Ge was silent again, and then said after a while: "Have you ever heard of the name Zhao Rong?"

"Zhaorong?"

Xin Yu silently said the name several times in his heart, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said, "She is the head of the twelve ghost kings!"

Tang Ge's face was slightly strange, and his eyes were even colder. He never thought that Zhao Rong actually held such a high position in the ghost world.

He learned Zhaorong's name from Jiang Xilei, that is, Gu Zhiyue's mother.

Xin Yu stared at Tang Ge's face and said, "How do you know Lord Zhaorong's name?"

Tang Ge came back to his senses and said, "I heard that."

Xin Yu pursed her lips, thinking that you always heard about everything.

Tang Ge said again: "Can we find her?"

Xin Yu asked in surprise, "You want to find Lord Zhaorong?"

Tango nodded.

Xin Yu looked at Tang Ge with more and more strange eyes, then shook her head and said, "I can't find it, she's in retreat, and no one knows where she's in retreat except Mr. Prisoner."

"Shut up..."

Tang Ge murmured in a low voice, looked at Xin Yu after a while and said, "Let's go to the prison pavilion."

Xin Yu's eyes dimmed instantly, and he drooped his head, thinking that what was supposed to come would come after all.

He suddenly had an idea, it would be great if Tango didn't come out of the Styx.
