‘Unless… none of them made it back to Earth!!!’

“Something’s not right, our Yin Ship seems to have stopped moving?” Serpent Granny’s complexion suddenly changed, as under normal circumstances, the flow of the Netherworld would carry the entire Yin Ship along, but now the ship was not moving at all.

“We need to drive the Yin Ship forward—we have to investigate upfront. Maybe something is obstructing the flow of the Netherworld, perhaps a great opportunity awaits,” Serpent Granny immediately suggested.

“The Netherworld… big trouble is brewing…” Serpent Granny murmured to herself.

...

“Quick!!!” Serpent Granny also noticed the changes in herself, as the Cultivation Technique inside her body involuntarily operated the “Taiyin Corpse Disintegration and Transformation Talisman,” causing her to continuously undergo corpse dissolution.

“Then why don’t we leave first?” another disciple suggested.

“Granny, wouldn’t it be better to stay safe?” one of the disciples asked.

“It’s strange, why has the Underworld been so unnaturally calm these days.” Serpent Granny took her disciples on a boat down the Netherworld.

“The supreme masters ascend to the void in form, known as Heavenly Immortals; the average masters roam famous mountains, known as Earth Immortals; the lowly masters first die then transform, known as Corpse Transformation Immortals.”

“An abnormal event surely harbors evil spirits!”

“Yes, Granny.”

“No one knows how long the Underworld will remain abnormal this time around. It’s best to grab some resources, to have something to show for it.”

“What… what in the world is going on.” One of Serpent Granny’s disciples swallowed hard, his tone filled with extreme Fear.

“Let’s go, hurry!” Serpent Granny said urgently.

It wasn’t like before at the Liu Family when she had a decade of collaboration and naturally, her status was different, allowing her to have various autonomies. But now it’s different. To regain her former status at the Liu Family, she at least needed enough meritorious achievements. At the Liu Family, she had meritorious achievements, so she could rest on her laurels, even ignoring the legitimate heirs and grandsons of the Liu Family.

Unfortunately, by a narrow margin, all their souls were already filled with deathly stillness before departing. Suddenly, the image of a six-petaled lotus blossomed in her mind.

But if their souls were overly saturated with the aura of death, they wouldn’t be able to leave the Underworld, because in the eyes of the whole world, they were no longer living souls but Yin Souls of the Netherworld, and the world’s protective mechanisms naturally wouldn’t allow them to return to Earth.

Otherwise, once the corpse ghosts of the Netherworld left the Underworld, Earth would definitely be unable to withstand them.

The Netherworld was so calm because all that could move had been built into a wall.

It was as if the originally flowing lively water had turned into a pool of stagnant water. Such abnormality was beyond Serpent Granny’s belief.

She was unclear about the specific circumstances, but one thing she could be sure of was that it had something to do with the Jiao Pearl she had fished out. It was said that the Family Head of the Liu Family had refined the Jiao Pearl into a Jiao, killing everyone from the Xuanqing Institute and the Special Combat Team, which utterly shocked Serpent Granny when she heard the news.

Despair and Fear burst forth completely.

Yet a question flickered through her mind—she hadn’t come to the Underworld to lure Yin, so there must have been other Yin Walkers who had come to the Underworld, right?

With the Liu Family’s destruction, she naturally turned to other powerful families. Having such a unique skill as a Yin Walker, she was not worried about not having a place to eat, after all, hers did not count as betrayal—it was merely that her world of worship had disappeared.

Many scattered thoughts in her mind were reined in, and then she hurriedly activated the Yin Ship and Yin Lamp to return.

She didn’t know if she could become an Immortal, but after corpse dissolution, trouble was definitely assured.

The rest of the disciples looked at each other, but ultimately said nothing. The one at the helm was Serpent Granny, not them—they were merely assistants.

If it were said that this city wall was built of soil and stone, they would only express shock rather than Fear.

If they hadn’t reaped anything just before, it would indeed be possible to retreat, but the reward was right before their eyes. If they retreated now, they would suffer a great loss.

This answer flashed through Serpent Granny’s mind in an instant.

The Snake Grandma shook her head, “Stability might not be a good thing. These days, the Underworld has been restless. Now that it’s suddenly become quiet, do you think that’s a good thing?”

A massive suction force burst forth from behind them, silently merging them into the immense wall. They had no power to resist at all, not even the will to resist could arise within them.

Their bodies began to continuously dissipate vitality, and the original deathly aura started to gradually permeate and replace the vitality.

After witnessing such horror, things like declarations of allegiance, clan families, and great opportunities had long been cast out of Snake Grandma’s and her disciples’ minds; their only thought was to leave the Underworld and return to Earth.

Snake Grandma was well aware of how pragmatic the clan families could be, after all, she had been in this life for a long time, and from the beginning she knew it was nothing but mutual exploitation with the clan families.

Speed naturally couldn’t be too quick, for her disciples had limited spiritual power, and the Yin Ship was not some top-notch Magical Treasure either; the rate of spiritual power input was also limited and simply could not sustain too much power input.

Though Snake Grandma had a reputation, first contacts still ultimately relate to first impressions.

Even though the Heaven’s Will had been eroded to extinction by the Netherworld, it doesn’t mean that the world lacks corresponding protective mechanisms; though the Underworld is an eroded void, it’s also a defensive line.

As the Yin Ship progressed, they quickly discovered exactly what was blocking the flow of the Netherworld.

Hence, these disciples had no real say in the matter; whether to leave or to continue forward, it was up to Snake Grandma to decide, unless they murdered her or found some other way to escape.

Therefore, this speed was actually quite decent.

All beholders were filled with astonishment upon seeing this scene, so much so that words failed them.

Having walked the Yin paths for so many years, relying on her own Experience and the heritage passed down from her ancestors, Snake Grandma naturally knew how perilous the Netherworld could be. Otherwise, how could it yield so many Resources, such as the difficulty in producing a single Jiao Pearl on Earth that might require a storm of bloodshed?

Danger naturally comes with opportunity; the occupation of a Yin Walker was far more dangerous than carrying one’s head on a belt, constantly facing the possibility of death. Caution sometimes couldn’t save their lives; in situations like this, they had to be willing to fight rather than shrink away.

The small boat, carrying a Yin Lamp, advanced; the surface of the Netherworld waters was very calm, as if it were not the Underworld’s Netherworld, but a regular river.

It was also fortunate that the Liu Family compound generally didn’t allow outsiders to reside there, allowing her and her disciples to escape a calamity; otherwise, at this moment, they might also have become part of the Netherworld, a thought that caused Snake Grandma to shudder.

A gigantic wall was being constantly erected from bottom to top.

A group of disciples, somewhat excited, hastily poured spiritual power into the Yin Ship, and its speed immediately increased, changing from drifting with the currents to advancing at a steady pace.

Therefore, the sudden silence made her uneasy, she even considered turning back.

When the Yin Ship parted the path between the realms of Yin and Yang, a faint sound carrying sentences poured into everyone’s minds; thus, a technique named “Taiyin Corpse Disintegration and Transformation Talisman” from the Corpse Dissolving Immortal Dao embedded itself in their memories.

The Yin Ship sailed away from the Underworld, but their souls were left behind; they knew they were about to be taken to patch the wall.

Hide this message? That was even more impossible. Though communication between Yin Walkers was rare, if there was any significant disturbance, with her connections, she would still be informed.

This wall stretched on and on, dividing the Netherworld into inner and outer realms.

She hadn’t walked the Yin path for some time, and now such a big incident had happened.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Indeed, these words resonated deeply with Snake Grandma; however, she had only just pledged loyalty to a new clan family and had yet to establish any credit with them; returning now, she feared, wouldn’t bode well.

Why hadn’t this incident spread? After all, it was a major event; the Corpse Ghosts from the entire Netherworld had been made into a wall without anyone leaking it out.

What truly instilled fear in them was that this never-ending wall was constructed of Corpse Ghosts, densely packed together as if intimately fused, and these entities were still occasionally writhing.

In just an instant, they felt the waters of the Netherworld flowing, and the pervasive aura of the Underworld continuously surged into their bodies.

As for gathering Resources while walking the Yin path, that wasn’t very reliable. If wandering the Yin paths was for Resources, it was more about acquiring high-end Resources like Jiao Pearls rather than ordinary ones. To risk one’s life in the Underworld for mere common Resources simply wasn’t worth it.

She wandered the Yin paths to gather Resources, while the clan families provided the means for her cultivation.

Finally, she could only shake her head, “This time, it’s probably not going to work; we need to have enough merit for it, else we won’t have peace upon our return.”
