pith …

In the Necropolis Abyss, Duanmu Shi abruptly opened his eyes, his deep purple eyes were thick with worry and heartache.

Duanmu Shi immediately got up and crossed the boundary, looking at the resentful spirits that covered the sky underneath without a trace of fear, and directly jumped down.

With a flash of silver light and a dagger in his hand, he killed gods and ghosts when he encountered them.

Duanmu Shi desperately hacked away at the layers of grievous spirits, his gaze sharp as a sharp arrow.

She’s going out, she’s going to save Sheng’er …

In just the blink of an eye, Duanmushi killed a way out.

Seemingly frightened by Duanmu Shi’s powerful aura, the spirits retreated, and some even turned to flee.

Without bothering about those spiteful spirits anymore, Duanmu Shi flew forward along the long tunnel.

There was no way out at the end of the tunnel, only an oversized altar with what appeared to be a man tied to a bronze frame in the center of the altar.

No, rather, a soul.

The soul’s soul consciousness was already weak, being chained by seven large chains, and surrounded by a circle of resentful spirits was eroding what little soul consciousness he had left.

Duanmu Shi frowned slightly, slowly stepped onto the altar, and wherever the silver light passed, the resentful spirits dissipated.

The soul, free from the encroaching spirits, finally slowly raised its head.

Duanmushi frowned.

Surprisingly, it was a woman, a very, very beautiful woman, so beautiful it was like being in a dream, so unreal.

Seeing Duanmu Shi, that virtual shadow also froze, then the corner of his lips slightly hooked, “Girl, this is not the place for you to come, quickly go back.”

The voice was unreal and ethereal, but it was unusually gentle in Duanmu Shi’s ears.

The corners of Duanmu Shi’s lips curled into a bitter smile, she also wanted to go back, she just couldn’t find a way out.

“All things are illusory, the Great Way is invisible. Jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements. The way out is just a way out, not a difficult task with the girl’s intelligence.”

The disembodied voice floated in again, still as ethereal as ever.

A simple sentence, but it caused Duanmushi to be enlightened.

She was the one who was confused and was in a formation without realizing it.

“Many thanks for the guidance senior.” Duanmu Shi bowed slightly, respectfully.

Void Shadow smiled modestly, “The girl is smart, it’s just that without me, you will be able to clear the clouds sooner or later.”

The soft words made Duanmu Shi’s good feelings multiply, she always felt that this imaginary shadow looked familiar, but she was certain that she had never seen her before.

“Why don’t senior go out with me.”

Duanmu Shi said, directly taking out a dagger to slash at the large iron chain on the Void’s body.

“Don’t … ah …”

The mournful screams frightened Duanmu Shi, who immediately dared not move again.

“I’m sorry senior, I didn’t know …” Looking at the unusually pained expression on the silhouette’s face, Duanmu Shi felt guilty.

She just wanted to help her unlock it, but she didn’t realize that the seven chains were connected to her soul consciousness.

“This is the … Seven Star Lock … You can’t open it … Hurry back… …”

The voice of the silhouette was a few points weaker than before, appearing even more ethereal.

Duanmu Shi frowned, and a flash of heartache flashed across his eyes.

It’s just a soul, and there’s still someone who treats her like this, who’s so cruel?

Suddenly, what flew through Duanmushi’s mind? Instantly, he tensed up.

“You are the Divine Queen?”

The deep purple eyes were filled with excitement, and even his voice trembled a little.

The silhouette froze slightly, and then the corners of his lips lifted lightly, “I didn’t expect that after hundreds of thousands of years, there would still be someone who remembers me.”

It really is …

Duanmu Shi immediately went up excitedly, “You really are …”

Looking at the Divine Empress’ clear brow, Duanmu Shi’s eyes flickered gently.

No wonder she felt familiar, wasn’t such a pair of eyebrows something she looked at every day?

Looking at the agitated Duanmu Shi, the Divine Empress blinked uncertainly.

“Shi’er pays her respects to her mother.” Duanmu Shi lifted her robe and knelt straight down.

“You … “The Divine Empress was confused by this sudden move of Duanmushi.

Duanmu Shi raised her eyes, the corners of her lips slightly hooked, “I am Mo Heng’s wife, your daughter-in-law.”

The Divine Empress instantly froze, tears gradually blurring her vision.

Honing …

Two words stuck in his throat but he couldn’t make a sound.

Tears, falling drop by drop, carry countless thoughts and expectations.

Looking at the Divine Empress who was in tears, Duanmu Shi also wet her eyes.

“Mother …” Duanmu Shi opened his mouth to try to comfort a few words, but he didn’t know what to say.

She was in a mood she could understand, as a mother who had endured the pain of sending her child away back then, not knowing if he was alive or dead for so many years, the thoughts and guilt were far more painful than an evil spirit infestation.

“Good boy, get up.”

The Divine Empress finally found her voice and looked at Duanmu Shi with a loving face.

Duanmushi rose as she was told.

The Divine Empress looked at Duanmu Shi’s delicate brows and nodded frequently, “Good, good, Honed son has married a good girl.”

Duanmu Shi’s pretty face blushed slightly as her gaze returned to the chains on the Divine Empress’s body.

“Mother, is there any way to undo this Seven Star Lock?”

Knowing that Duanmu Shi wanted to save her, the Divine Empress was very relieved.

“This Seven Star Lock is specifically designed to hold the soul, and there is no other way but to find the seven keys of the Seven Star Lock.”

Duanmu Shi frowned, “Then does mother know the whereabouts of these seven keys.”

The Divine Empress’ eyes flickered lightly as she gently shook her head, “Child, don’t mind me, it’s too dangerous here, you’d better leave.”

“Doesn’t mother want to see him? He has also arrived in Lanchuan, and he has been trying to save you.”

She knew that her mother had always been a knot in his heart, and as long as he didn’t rescue her from this Evil Spirit Abyss, the knot in his heart would never be untied.

The Divine Empress’ body stiffened, and thick thoughts flashed through her tearful eyes.

After a long time, she sighed softly, “Actually, I really don’t know the whereabouts of the Seven Star Keys, the seven keys of this Seven Star Lock were scattered to seven different places hundreds of thousands of years ago.”

Duanmushi frowned and didn’t answer, quietly waiting for the Divine Empress’ next words.

“Although the seven star keys are of the same vein, they belong to seven different attributes, but no matter what the attributes are, the seven star keys are all the most yin things, and can only stay in the most yin and cold places. And the most Yin and cold places in Lanchuan are nothing but Beast Den, Ghost Valley, Devil’s Domain, Demon Pool, God’s Mound, Emperor’s Tomb, and this Spirit Abyss we’re in now.”

Looking at the confident smile on the Divine Empress’ face, a flash of admiration flashed through Duanmu Shi’s eyes.

“Don’t worry mother, we will definitely find the Seven Star Key to get you out.”

The corners of the Divine Empress’s lips hooked up into a light smile with a loving face, “I don’t want you guys to risk your lives for me, none of those seven places are extremely dangerous, no matter if you find the key or not, mother wants you guys to be safe and sound.”

Duanmushi nodded seriously, “Yes, we will, we will all be safe, mother must wait for us to come and get you.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you and Honour to pick me up.”

The Divine Empress hooked her lips and smiled with happiness, as if she had already seen the child she had longed for.

Duanmu Shi closed her eyes and flew out her own silver dagger, and the formation instantly had to be broken.

Before leaving, Duanmu Shi wanted to kill all the evil spirits, but was stopped by the Divine Empress.

The evil spirits in the Spirit Abyss are infinitely generated and can never be killed.

In the end, Duanmu Shi could only set up a boundary for the Divine Empress, although she knew that her boundary wouldn’t last long, but a moment is a moment if it can be blocked.

Duanmu Shi finally flew out of the Evil Spirit Abyss after giving a reluctant look.

As soon as he exited the Evil Spirit Abyss, Duanmu Shi immediately felt his eyes light up.

The top of the Evil Spirit Abyss was surprisingly a desert.

Duanmu Shi stepped deeper and deeper into the scalding sand to move forward, but soon she realized she was lost.

“Master.”

Just when Duanmu Shi didn’t know where to go, a delighted shout came from mid-air.

Duanmu Shi immediately raised his eyes and saw the tiny figure in mid-air, the corners of his lips slightly raised, “Little Shadow.”

“Master, finally found you!” The little shadow turned into human form and grabbed Duanmu Shi’s sleeve with a delighted face.

“And you say, do you have any idea how worried I was when I couldn’t find you guys?”

Duanmu Shi favorably nodded Little Shadow’s forehead.

Little Shadow spat out her tongue, “I didn’t know that the time tunnel would be in turmoil, and when I woke up, I immediately came to look for you.”

Duanmushi nodded, “Have you seen Lanze and the others?”

“We’re here?”

As soon as Duanmu Shi’s words fell, several familiar voices came from behind him.

Duanmu Shi looked back and saw the Seven Divine Beasts, a hanging heart finally loosened a little, “It’s good that it’s fine.”

After a bit of catching up, Duanmushi looked at Little Shadow, “Is there a map of Lanchuan?”

“Let me look at the Hundred Treasure Book.” Little Shadow immediately rummaged through the Book of Hundred Treasures from his waist pocket and flipped through it.

“Found it.” A moment later, Little Shadow spoke out in delight, handing the Hundred Treasure Book in his hand to Duanmu Shi.

Duanmu Shi looked at the three words “God Emperor Palace” in the northernmost part of the map, and pointed her slender finger, “Let’s go here.”

A few people rode together on the green dragon transformed by the green wind and headed straight to the Divine Emperor Palace.

Sheng’er, wait for mother …

In the blood pool of Xing Tian Peak, a tiny figure was still desperately climbing upwards.

Even though there was no more strength in her body, Liangsheng still didn’t give up, she didn’t want to die, she still wanted to see her father and mother.

“Squeak … Master …”

A subtle soft call made Liangsheng’s increasingly fuzzy consciousness wake up a little.

“Seven …”

Ryou Sheng desperately reached his hand out to Xiao Qi outside the boundary.

Looking at the weak Liang Sheng, Xiao Qi’s big round eyes instantly had tears in them.

Xiao Qi stretched out her claws, but she couldn’t penetrate the blood-colored boundary at all.

“Master wait for me, I’ll go find Mother to save you.” A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, Xiao Qi immediately ran towards the Divine Emperor Palace.

Late Night.

Two figures, one from the south and one from the north, quietly entered the Divine Emperor Palace. The two coincidentally touched into the palace where Liang Sheng originally lived at the same time.

“Who?”

A sudden low voice made the two people in the darkness simultaneously flinch with their eyes.

A purple beam of light violently struck at Blue Night, but Blue Night didn’t dodge it and took that palm hard, directly flying backwards.

Seeing Blue Night, Hei Yan’s eyes flashed with thick killing intent as he once again utilized his Ghost Lord power to strike towards Blue Night.

Just as the purple beam was about to hit the blue night, a golden light dispersed the purple light.

Hei Yan’s eyes went cold and immediately looked into the shadows.

A tall figure slowly walked out from the shadows.

“It’s you?”

Seeing that familiar handsome face, Hei Yan immediately spoke out in joy.
