The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 519, A Familiar Aura

Hua Changxi was not surprised that the major human forces had sent personnel to infiltrate the heart of the Nine Netherworld; she was also not surprised that these infiltrators were returning one after another.

However, seeing that more than half of the returning cultivators had ignited black flames, her mood became somewhat heavy.

Shura Gate!

There's no need to guess; those cultivators igniting the black flames must be related to the Asura Sect.

Moreover, the Shura Sect's area of ​​activity in the Nine Netherworlds is very large; even if she kills one group, there are other groups operating elsewhere.

On the Nine Nether Auction House, Su Mingyue would occasionally glance at the Human Auction House opposite, her gaze exceptionally cold, especially when she looked at the royal seats, where she revealed a strong killing intent.

"Come here!"

Su Mingyue glanced at the hourglass, which was about to run out of sand, and called over the ghost who had previously used the bone umbrella to defend against Lady of the Other Shore Flower's attack. She gave him a list: "Take a few of your men down and exchange them for these supplies."

Ghost Clan member Chu Junyi stepped forward, respectfully accepted the list, and quickly glanced at Su Mingyue, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes: "This humble servant will certainly not fail your expectations."

Su Mingyue simply gave a faint "hmm" without even glancing at Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi didn't say anything more and quickly left the Nine Nether Auction House with his four subordinates.

Lady White Bone watched the five people leave, then glanced thoughtfully at Su Mingyue.

The Ghost King of the Moon seems to have a special connection with Chu Junyi. Could it be that the Ghost King who has dealings with the Demon Suppression Army is her?

After Chu Junyi led Meng Ziyu and the other three out of the Nine Nether Auction House, he looked up at the building and then quickly walked toward the bustling Nine Nether Rank 4 stalls.

The auction is about to end!

"I need to find a chance to turn back into a human and go back to the human stalls as soon as possible."

The five people moved between the various stalls, and soon their figures were swallowed up by the myriad beings of the Netherworld.

Meanwhile, on the auction floor in the human realm, more figures appeared in the seats of various holy lands, guardian families, royal families, and other powerful and noble families.

Tong Yao, Jing Liao, and Yan Zhenzhen exchanged a quick glance upon seeing each other.

"Sixteenth Elder."

Xia Zhen walked straight to the seats in the Dan Sheng Hall, sat down next to Meng Qingyao, and shook her head at Xia Ji next to her.

Seeing the guilt on his face, Xia Ji said, "It's good that he's back safe and sound."

Xia Zhen glanced at the various secret realm masters of the Pill Saint Palace and saw that they were all watching her closely. Hesitation and hesitation appeared on her face.

Information has always been of great importance.

Especially all kinds of first-hand information.

Xia Zhen knew very well that the information they obtained along the way, venturing deep into the heart of the Nine Netherworld, was of paramount importance.

Perhaps this can be used to win over some secret realm masters. Even if we can't win them over, we should at least let them know how powerful the Xia family is.

With that in mind, Xia Zhen suppressed her hesitation and prepared to talk about what she had gained from this trip.

Before taking their seats, each faction would set up a soundproof array to facilitate communication, so he wouldn't be afraid that his words would be overheard by others.

"Apart from the Asura Sect, almost all the other forces that ventured deep into the Nine Netherworld suffered no losses this time."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Dan Sheng Hall beamed with joy.

Even though the major powers compete with each other on a daily basis, they still know their place in the battle between the human world and the Nine Netherworld.

Meng Qingyao smiled and said, "That's good. After all, those sent out are all elites of the human race."

Xia Zhen shook his head upon hearing this: "The Nine Netherworlds have more powerful experts than we imagined. The reason there were few casualties this time is because someone drew away the attention of the various races in the Nine Netherworlds."

Meng Qingyao's expression froze for a moment, then she tentatively asked, "Is it that human?"

Xia Zhen nodded.

Meng Qingyao was shocked again and asked in surprise, "Is the rumor about 'a human being' true? Has a human really appeared and caused chaos in the Nine Netherworld?"

Dongfang Hao, Dongfang Xu, and all the secret realm masters stared intently at Xia Zhen, awaiting his reply.

Xia Zhen shook her head: "I don't know. But..."

"The Netherworld Blade has appeared, it's real."

"The Netherworld Deer has indeed appeared."

"Lady of the Other Shore Flower had her clones destroyed; the Crimson Nightmare Lady, who was famous throughout the Nine Netherworlds for her Nightmare Technique, mysteriously disappeared; and the Lady's Tower was robbed. These are all true."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao asked in confusion, "How could these things be related to the human race?"

Xia Zhen: "Because a Nightmare Beast at the peak of the King Realm personally testified that the Soul Clan member who rode the Netherworld Deer and stole the key to the Nine Netherworld Soul Realm was a human in disguise."

"It was also said that the human stole ten of its Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruits."

Dongfang Hao shook his head and said, "That Nightmare Beast is definitely lying. It's impossible for humans to lure out the Netherworld Deer, the Nine Netherworld Envoy!"

Seeing that Xia Zhen remained silent, Xia Ji asked, "What, do you think the Nightmare Eater wasn't lying?"

Xia Zhen nodded: "Putting aside the fact that a great demon at the peak of the King Realm has no need to lie, let alone use such a shameful method as 'having its home raided'."

"Most importantly, on the way back, I learned some news from the Soul Clan." "Although the Netherworld Deer is a Dao Envoy, it likes to listen to Soul Ballads."

"In other words, you don't need to be a powerful person who has walked out of the Nine Netherworld Path. As long as you can play the Soul Ballad, you can summon the Netherworld Deer."

"And the Soul Ballad can also be played by humans."

Gu Jinfan spoke up: "However, as far as I know, the Soul Ballad is extremely difficult to play. Even among the Soul Clan, who specialize in the Soul Path, there may not be a single person who can play the Soul Ballad in thousands of years."

Xia Zhen still insisted on her opinion: "Difficult to blow doesn't mean absolutely impossible."

"With the great trend of spiritual energy revival, opportunities are emerging one after another, and there is no such thing as absolutely impossible."

Gu Jinfan also thought this made sense, but who could have such an ability?

Xia Ji narrowed his eyes: "If Sixteen's guess is true, then the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm is in the hands of the human race."

Meng Qingyao looked over and asked, "Master, what exactly is the Nine Nether Soul Realm?"

Xia Ji: "It's a secret realm, a secret realm nurtured by the River of Souls!"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood the preciousness of the Nine Nether Soul Realm.

Most of the secret realm masters have opened up their spiritual platforms, and they know that after a cultivator opens up their spiritual platform, they need to cultivate both spiritual power and soul power at the same time, and they should focus on soul power.

After the Spirit Platform Realm comes the Concentration Realm.

To enter the Concentration Realm, one cannot break through without a large amount of soul power to condense a primordial spirit.

The human realm is rich in spiritual energy, but lacks sufficient soul power. As a result, many cultivators' progress slows down after entering the Spirit Platform Realm.

Xia Ji murmured, "Who could that person be?"

Similar conversations were also taking place quietly among other human factions.

When Wei Zhenjie learned that the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm might really have fallen into the hands of the human race, his excitement was almost palpable.

However, because Chu Junyi and the other four had not yet returned, the worry in his heart suppressed his excitement.

On the Nine Netherworld Street, Hua Changxi stopped paying attention after seeing that many of the human cultivators who had ignited black flames went to the Human Realm Auction House.

Nowadays, the various stalls are becoming increasingly noisy and chaotic.

As the auction drew to a close, both the stall owners and the traders became somewhat impatient, and there was almost no bargaining process. Both parties were eager to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

"Ok?"

Because she was being watched by the Styx man the whole time, Hua Changxi never had a chance to transform. Suddenly, she sensed a familiar aura.

She turned around abruptly, her gaze sharp as lightning, piercing through the surging figures to quickly lock onto a human male cultivator wearing a Qilin mask.

That aura...

Once a ritual implement recognizes its owner, it will carry the owner's aura.

At that moment, Hua Changxi sensed her own aura on the human male cultivator.

Since she began her cultivation, she has only lost one magical artifact—a Buddhist prayer bead bracelet!

In an instant, excitement appeared in Hua Changxi's eyes. Heaven knows how much she wanted to find her Buddhist prayer beads.

Losing the bracelet itself isn't a big deal; the main thing is that the ten Qihuang tokens and the totem gold bowl inside can't be lost.

Hua Changxi's gaze was fixed on the dark yellow sword held in the human male cultivator's right hand.

At the end of the hilt of the sword, a simple Buddhist prayer bead bracelet was prominently displayed!

Upon seeing the long-lost Buddhist prayer beads, Hua Changxi was eager to rush over and retrieve them, but soon she discovered another surprising thing.

It's him!

She recognized the human male cultivator and the four people behind him—the same five human cultivators from the Yellow Springs Ancient Path.

These five people are still alive!

Hua Changxi then thought of the five ghost clansmen who always followed Lady White Bone.

If those five ghosts were truly five humans in disguise, then their methods were truly remarkable, managing to deceive her Eye of Truth!

This was not the time to delve into these matters. Hua Changxi suppressed her curiosity and quickly approached the five people.

With everyone busy completing transactions and crowds of people, it's the perfect time to quietly 'take back' the Buddhist prayer beads.

Hua Changxi weaved through the crowd, pushing past one person after another.

Unfortunately, she was accelerating, and the five people in front of her were also accelerating.

Chu Junyi immediately realized he was being watched. He quickly glanced at the person out of the corner of his eye and discovered that it was a rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds.

This immediately made him think of many things.

Why did that rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds target him?

Could it be that a powerful being from the Nine Netherworlds has discovered the relationship between me and my great-aunt?

They had been very careful in transforming themselves from 'ghosts' back to humans, so theoretically no one should have noticed.

Unless, someone is watching them all the time.

"Boss, we have a tail behind us."

The Demon Suppression Army had fought their way through countless battles amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even though Hua Changxi was very careful, Meng Ziyu and the other three still noticed something amiss.

Chu Junyi looked up at the empty hourglass and the stone platform slowly sinking into the ground, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Lure that rogue cultivator into the Five Directions Grand Formation." (End of this chapter)
