Chapter 883 - The good old traditions… and then a surprise attack (2/2)

Fairy Dongfang Six nodded her head. She also knew that Senior Skylark from the Xuan Nu Sect had sought death big time while investigating this matter and decided to test the poison on her own body. As a result, her body was contaminated with the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm, and she was forced to seal herself in ice.

“Some time later, I discovered that those people hadn’t been contaminated by accident, someone had lured them into wearing finger rings or other similar items. Next, the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm poured into their bodies and modified them, strengthening them. During the whole process, the energy of the Netherworld Realm would keep getting stronger and stronger.” Afterward, Song Shuhang also added, “Branch Elder Gu Wu, can I get into the underground area of your branch? I would like to save Lady Onion as soon as possible.”

“Are you capable of it?” Gu Wu asked. After glancing at him, he had noticed that Song Shuhang was only a cultivator of the Third Stage.

“If we are dealing with the evil energy of the Netherworld, I can. I have a special method to deal with it,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.

Just as they were discussing, the place where the Human-Morphing Feast was hosted was thrown into chaos.

The various monsters had panicked and created a mess.

Song Shuhang didn’t even need to turn his head to sense the evil aura of the Netherworld.

Part of the evil energy filling the underground pyramid had already seeped into the various pa.s.sages and spread where the feast was held.

Black mist gushed out of the ground. This black mist was emitted by the evil energy of the Netherworld below.

In the end, the mist condensed in the main hall and turned into a monster made of mist.

“A demon of the Netherworld!” some weak monsters called out in alarm.

“That’s not a demon of the Netherworld… it’s just a ma.s.s of pure energy of the Netherworld that has condensed together and formed an evil beast,” Song Shuhang said after glancing at that monster made of mist.

It was the same as that ferocious beast made of evil energy he’d encountered in the Jade Lake Realm the last time. Still, this evil beast that had just condensed didn’t have any intelligence, and it was rather easy to deal with.

“An evil beast, and a weak one at that!” Next to Song Shuhang, the small monk Guoguo sprang to his feet as he rubbed his b.u.t.t.

After the mist condensed into an evil beast, the resulting creature only had the strength of the First Stage. If not for the fact that they were afraid of getting contaminated with the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm, all the monsters there present would have been able to take care of it.

“It’s time for us to get into action,” the small monk said.

s.h.i.+ and Zhu quietly glanced at Song Shuhang, their eyes full of expectations.

“Are you sure you can deal with it?” Song Shuhang asked.

“We can easily deal with a creature of this level,” s.h.i.+ said after pondering for a moment.

“In that case, I’ll leave this place to you three,” Song Shuhang said. Fairy Dongfang Six and the others were still there. Therefore, nothing would happen to the three children.

“Branch Elder Gu Wu, can you tell me about the pa.s.sage that leads to the underground area?” Song Shuhang asked.

The seven-armed and eight-footed Branch Elder Gu Wu forced a smile, and said, “I’ll lead you there. I didn’t think things would escalate to this point.”

The underground branch was supposed to be a secret area, and those that weren’t members of the organization weren’t allowed to get there.

But now, he had no way of preventing Song Shuhang from entering it.

“How did the situation escalate to this level?” Branch Elder Gu Wu’s expression was getting uglier and uglier.

The quant.i.ty of evil energy in that place far surpa.s.sed his imagination. Given his strength of the Fifth Stage, it would be impossible to disperse and purify such a huge amount of evil energy of the Netherworld.

“Little friend Shuhang, let’s advance and save the people trapped there… but after saving them, we have to evacuate immediately. We can’t stay here.” Gu Wu’s expression became serious.

After getting out of this place, he would have to activate the formation of the 250th branch as soon as possible and seal the whole underground area.

Otherwise, if such tyrannical energy was allowed to leak out into the Jiangnan area, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Song Shuhang nodded his head and headed toward the summit of the pyramid through that bridge made of chains.

When the duo was halfway past the bridge, a huge fist silently shot upward from below.

This fist was purely made of evil energy, and it was giving off a faint metallic l.u.s.ter. It was somewhat similar to the metallic hand that had attacked the world of the golden lotus of the scholarly faction. However, its strength was much, much weaker.

With Ye Si’s reminder, Song Shuhang managed to detect this surprise attack just in time.

On the other hand, Branch Elder Gu Wu wasn’t able to detect it.

“Careful!” Song Shuhang shouted.

At this time, the fist was only ten meters away from Branch Elder Gu Wu…
