Chapter 274: Meng Po in the Underworld

“Help me out!” Lonemoon had no choice but to turn around and beg for help from Shen Ying.

Without any hesitation, Shen Ying picked up Chef – who was still trying to climb up her body – and ran to Lonemoon’s side. She grabbed Bai Ze’s sword with one hand and twisted her wrist, flinging it to the ground.

Lonemoon quickly activated his immortal Qi and hit both Yi Qing and Bai Ze on the back of their necks. At the same time, he conjured passing out spells so that both of them fell down unconscious.

“Sect Master! Elder!” Shortie pointed toward the front in a panic.

The two of them turned around just in time to see a big patch of white light in front of them. Very faintly, they could see an army of figures.

That array has made its way here! That was quick!

Lonemoon quickly turned around to Hongyu. He saw Hongyu ascend the Reincarnation Stage. There were strange arrays all around him. The pearl that he used to control Bai Ze and Chef was now floating in the middle of the Reincarnation Stage, emanating a blinding white light. Inside it, there seemed to be an explosive force that was threatening to break out of the pearl.

“Everybody’s remnant souls must be in there. He’s trying to explode that spirit pearl!” Lonemoon’s face drained of all colour as he exchanged looks with Shen Ying. At the same time, the both of them rushed over to Hongyu.

Lonemoon immediately activated all the sword Qi in his body and waved his sword at Hongyu, who had been setting up an array. Hongyu sensed a great blow of sword Qi charging toward him and flicked his hand so that his God Power dissipated Lonemoon’s sword Qi at once.

“I’ve already said – you cannot stop me!” Hongyu’s expression darkened.

Lonemoon smirked and pointed in front of him. “I can’t, but she can!”

Hongyu turned around to see Shen Ying already standing on the Reincarnation Stage. She reached out for the floating spirit pearl and carried it off the stage.

“How can this be!” Hongyu exclaimed. Finally, his facial expression showed a hint of rage. “Put that spirit pearl down!” Suddenly, wind blades filled the sky, each one of them pointing toward Shen Ying.

“Shen Ying, take care of the spirit pearl!” Lonemoon shouted.

Shen Ying was just going to retaliate when she paused, turned around and retreated a couple of feet.

The wind blades flew down from the sky and landed around the Reincarnation Stage. The array immediately darkened so that even the great red array that covered the Underworld seemed to flicker.

Lonemoon’s eyes brightened as he said, “Shen Ying, the array near the Reincarnation Stage – that big red one outside – destroy it!”

Shen Ying did not hesitate. Holding the spirit pearl in one hand, she clenched her other fist and dealt a blow to the ground. There was a loud crash and the array began to crack. The cracks quickly spread around the array, causing the red light to become fainter and fainter. The cracks continued even onto the ground, breaking apart the layers of arrays. Then… the Reincarnation Stage cracked apart.

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Hongyu: “…”

“Er… Father Niu, if I said I didn’t do it on purpose, would you believe me?”

“Believe your ass!” Lonemoon suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to strangle her. “You’re a freaking spy, aren’t you?” It was bad enough that she cracked the ground. Why did she have to break the Reincarnation Stage? She must be in the same league as Hongyu, wasn’t she?

But all was still fine – the Reincarnation Stage cracked but it had not fallen apart.

Crash…

The crashes echoed all around as the ground began to shake violently. Before Shen Ying had the chance to retract her fist, the cracks on the ground began to open up about a metre wide. The gap was headed straight toward the Reincarnation Stage.

Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

Whatever he imagined was coming true. Lonemoon turned pale. We’re done for, done for, done for…

“Father Niu, hand me your sword.”

“Huh?” Lonemoon was still cursing under his breath.

Shen Ying snatched his sword and turned around, running toward her right. She gripped the sword tightly in her hand and stabbed the ground with it, causing another loud crash.

A bigger crack appeared on the right and as it spread, it stopped the cracks that were headed for the Reincarnation Stage. The ground around the stage became stable again.

Lonemoon heaved a huge sigh of relief. Damn it, he was nearly scared to death.

“Elder, Sect Master!” Suddenly, another panicked cry sounded.

The two of them turned and their eyes widened. “Shortie!” They had not noticed when Hongyu snatched Shortie onto the Reincarnation Stage. “What do you want?”

“The spirit pearl is gone. This girl’s soul is special – it can also be used to ruin the Reincarnation Stage.” Hongyu smiled at the two of them, as if he had achieved something big. He immediately jumped into the Reincarnation Stage with Shortie.

“Shortie!” Lonemoon screamed. It was too late for him to rush over. The two of them had already disappeared into the Reincarnation Stage. There was a flash of golden light. Lonemoon’s heart seemed to stop. Hongyu must have done this on purpose. He did not even need the spirit pearl to destroy the Reincarnation Stage. He wanted to use Shortie’s soul all along.

“What should we do? Shen Ying, can you see Shortie?”

“I can’t!” Shen Ying shook her head. Suddenly, she recalled something. “Father Niu, do you have the pearl that contains Shortie’s remnant soul?”

“Yes, but-”

“Throw it in!”

“What?”

“Hurry!”

Lonemoon retrieved the spirit pearl that he had and threw it into the Reincarnation Stage. The next moment, there was a loud crash. The Reincarnation Stage started to fall apart inch by inch. The golden light from within it looked like it was being blown in all directions. It flew around in specks and slowly darkened, like fluorescent light.

Lonemoon stared blankly at the specks of golden light all around him. His face fell. “Shortie, she’s-”

“She’s back!” Shen Ying interrupted.

“What?” Lonemoon paused. But Shen Ying was already turning around to see where the golden specks were flying to.

He followed her gaze and found that the fluorescent light that became dim earlier was bright once again. What’s more, it was flying higher and higher, reaching out in all directions. The Underworld that had reduced in size because of Hongyu’s array was no expanding once again.

All around were the golden specks of light. It was almost like a flood – it could not be stopped. Lonemoon finally understood why Shen Ying said that the Underworld was too bright the last time. It was indeed very bright. As he looked up, he saw that the entire Underworld was covered in the golden light. It looked like an unending sea. The only black shades were the Yin River, which ran across the horizon here and there.

This is… the River of Forgetfulness? It was not the Reincarnation Stage, but the entire Underworld?

Lonemoon was still in a daze. Suddenly, the view in front of him changed. The golden sea turned into blue seas and skies in a blink of an eye.

This is… the ancient gods’ divine territory?

“Sect Master, Elder Lonemoon,” a familiar voice sounded behind them.

Lonemoon turned around and saw a familiar figure walking toward them from not far away. She was wearing a beautiful smile.

“Shortie!” Lonemoon’s heart jumped. It was great – she was fine! He was just about to walk forward when he heard Shen Ying’s voice.

“Meng Po.”

“…” What?
