Well~...Hmm...!Hmm...Wow!

Ahem~!

Gan Jue came out of the water, coughed and spit out the inhaled water, while gasping heavily. He turned his head and looked at him, and immediately saw that not far away, Gulan was holding a raft, looking at him with a smile on his show, and Su Jiuer also stood at the front of the raft with her hands behind her back.

"hey-hey."

Seeing Gan Jue appearing in a mess, Gulan laughed and waved to him, signaling him to swim over quickly. Su Jiuer didn't say anything, but she still had an expressionless face, but she stretched out her hand to Gan Jue, and the light blue soul power shone. Gan Jue felt a force pulling him over.

Controlling his body shape in the air, Gan Jue landed steadily on the raft. As soon as he stood up, Su Jiuer grabbed his arm. The light blue soul power surged into Gan Jue's body, and the water stains on his body quickly evaporated. In just over ten seconds, Gan Jue returned to dryness again.

"The water of the Styx is harmful to the body, remember to contact less in the future. Uncle Gu, let's go, let's go back to the city."

After saying something lightly, Su Jiuer turned around and stood at the bow of the ship with her hands on her back.

"Okay~!"

Gulan excitedly took out a bamboo pole from the storage soul guide and began to hold the raft. Gan Jue finally had time to see where he was now.

They are now on a huge river. The river water is light green, and the river surface is filled with green mist, which makes him see the green light. The dry rice of this river is roughly estimated to be several hundred meters wide and the length is straight to the sky, which is incomprehensible. The sky here is black, and there is no star at all. There are black strange stones of various shapes on both sides of the river, with fangs and claws.

When Gan Jue passed through the wormhole, he was stunned by the twisted space force. When he became aware, he was in this long river, so the scene of water just started to emerge.

"Boy Jue, since you have entered the underworld, I need to tell you about some of the things in this world, so as not to make trouble for you, boy, and you should not suffer."

Seeing Gan Jue looking at the long river emitting green light in surprise, Gulan smiled and said.

"First of all, this world is called the Underworld. It is no longer in the same space as your Douluo Continent. Only through wormholes can you communicate between the two worlds. However, this world is much smaller than the world of Douluo Continent. It may be an attached space of Douluo Continent. Our Dead Soul City clan is the primitive inhabitants of this world, living here for generations, enshrining the God of Death.

The river you see now is called the River Styx, which is a river that extradates souls. Its source cannot be traced. We only know that the souls that die in Douluo Continent may appear in the River Styx, following the River Styx, and finally merge into the sea of ​​the Netherworld and enter the final destination of the soul. The water of the River Styx is not poisonous and can nourish the soul, but for living people, it is not advisable to have more contact. It will loosen the connection between the soul and the body. If you have long-term contact, the soul may eventually die out of your body."

Gan Jue listened quietly to Gulan's story, slowly widened his eyes, and murmured incredibly:

"This is...Huangquan...?This is the underworld...?!!"

"Huangquan, underworld...? What is that."

Gulan asked in confusion when he heard Gan Jue's murmur.

"Well... it is the saying that circulated in our village when we were young. According to legend, after death, the soul will be taken to the underworld by the ghost messenger and accepted the judgment of King Yama. If there is no sin in his lifetime, he will be reincarnated into a good family in the next life. If the sins were severe during his lifetime, he would be sent to hell and torture. After the sins were redeemed, Fang would be reincarnated."

"Uh... the legend of your village is interesting. However, there is no hell that tortures the soul in the underworld, the King of Yama who judges the soul, and the ghost messenger who brings the soul into the underworld. All the souls in the Styx appear randomly, and our Dead Soul City practices..."

As Gulan said, he reached out to take out his chest, then took out a beautiful bone-white skeleton ring and put it on his hand.

"Boy Jue, seven years ago, my soul power level was not even higher than the dean of your Shrek Academy, but now he is still a soul saint, but I am already a soul control. Also, our city lord is 49 years old this year, but she had become a titled Douluo fifteen years ago, ten years earlier than Tang Hao, who was the first to become a titled Douluo in your continent. Boy Jue, you know..., why is the soul power of our Dead Soul City clan so fast?"

"Why..."

Gan Jue asked in a daze, but there were already some speculations in his heart. The reason why the evil soul master is called the evil soul master is because they will harm other innocent lives. And the reason why some people become evil soul masters is because the evil soul master can quickly improve his strength through various other cruel means, so he is already prepared for Gulan's next words.

"Because the martial arts of our Dead Soul City clan have a special effect. It can refine the soul into soul power and then incorporate it into our bodies. By obtaining soul power through this method, we can directly improve our strength. Without any side effects, it is the same as the soul power we cultivate."

As Gulan said, he stroked the white skull ring in his hand with some sigh.

"I know that in your eyes, this method is the method of the evil soul master, and we do not deny it. But in fact, hundreds of years ago, we did not appear in Douluo Continent, and the refined souls were all salvaged from the River Styx. Because at that time, there were many souls in the River Styx, which were enough for us to use in the Dead Soul City.

However, in recent hundreds of years, as the friction between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire has decreased, peaceful development has begun, and there is no war. Under the suppression of the Spirit Hall, fewer evil soul masters have become less and less common, and the murder of civilians by soul masters has become increasingly rare. Gradually, the souls of the Styx have become rare, and they are no longer enough for our Dead Soul City to use.

Without the soul power from refining souls, the martial arts of our Dead Soul City will be even slower than the most common martial arts in your Douluo Continent. So over the past few hundred years, our Dead Soul City has gradually declined, and the strength of the soul master is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, only our previous old city lord has reached the strength of the title Douluo, and even the powerful servant souls in the Secret Realm of the Styx can't be cleaned up. After the old city lord passed away, our current city lord thought that our clan could not decline like this, so he began to seek change and came to your Douluo Continent. But the city lord is good in nature..."

"Enough Uncle Gu, he already knows enough!"

Just when Gulan was about to talk about Su Jiuer, he was suddenly scolded by Su Jiuer and interrupted him. Obviously, he didn't want him to continue talking.

Gulan looked at Su Jiuer and stopped talking. After several times, he finally sighed, stopped talking, and drew the bamboo raft seriously. Seeing this, Gan Jue didn't know what to say, so he had to stand quietly on the bamboo raft, thinking about what Gulan told him just now.

What Gulan didn't finish saying is probably that the lord of Dead Soul City is unwilling to see Dead Soul City decline again, so he resolutely took their Dead Soul City people out of the Underworld, went to Douluo Continent to do business with evil soul masters, and continued to improve their strength by harming innocent people and plundering their souls. In this way, Su Jiuer is really a complete devil...

When Gan Jue thought of this, he couldn't help but look up at Su Jiuer in front of him. Logically speaking, Gan Jue should hate her, because if this is the case, the original owner of Gan Jue's body, all of them died under the hands of this Dead Soul City, and he and this Dead Soul City should have an irreconcilable hatred. But the original owner's soul had long been taken away, and maybe it was refined into soul power by the Dead Soul City Lord, and he could no longer interfere with Gan Jue's ideas. Although Gan Jue sympathized with the dead Jinshui Village, he did not have much strong desire to avenge them.

Moreover, after spending so many days together, for some reason, Gan Jue could not feel that Su Jiuer had such an evil side. Although she was very cold to people, Gan Jue could feel that she didn't seem to be bad. What's going on...?

....
