Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"Ah—"

A long yawn was completed, and the sky brightened.

Unknowingly, he had played games all night.

The phone's battery was down to 6%.

Wu Xiaode rubbed his eyes and handed the phone to the nearby dark giant hand.

The dark giant hand immediately shrank, grabbed the phone, and squeezed through the window into the room to find a place to charge.

As for the other dark giant hand—

The morning sunlight shone on the giant hand, infiltrating within, falling upon Kevin.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A sound of something being burnt to ashes echoed.

Under the sunlight, this guy who had just become a vampire servant directly turned to dust.

In the blink of an eye—

Wu Xiaode quickly extended his hand, closing several holy side pop-up dialogs in the Void.

—When did vampires become monopolized by the Holy Side?

If left alone, the vampire will resurrect in seven days?

Go to Hell.

Isn't the Netherworld going to handle vampires?

Oh right.

Netherworld…

It seems I need to make a trip to the Netherworld to reestablish the rules for reincarnation.

Wu Xiaode was actually quite cautious.

If anyone dared to scheme against Shen Xiyao, he wouldn't spare them, even if it's the Blood Clan.

They must reincarnate.

Even if they know any secrets, once reincarnated, they will forget everything.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a while.

"Boss!"

Someone shouted downstairs.

It was Big Banana and Fang-Tooth.

Their current power was almost the same as when they were last seen in a previous life.

—With Hermit Sarina's guidance, they are more than capable of dealing with mere mortals.

"You guys take over for me this morning, I'm going to sleep for a while."

Wu Xiaode stood up and stretched lazily.

"Boss, hurry up!"

"If anything happens, we'll call you."

The two said in unison.

Wu Xiaode nodded and directly activated "Ghostly King's" Name Skill, disappearing from the rooftop.

Elsewhere.

Netherworld.

The instant Wu Xiaode landed, his expression changed drastically, and he took up a defensive posture.

Thud.

He landed on the ground, paused for a few breaths.

No attack came.

"What's that..."

He muttered softly.

The sky was tinged with flashing crimson, at first glance resembling some large-scale Magic.

This is why Wu Xiaode took up a defensive posture.

—But upon closer inspection after landing, it turned out to be a neon brilliance.

From afar, thick sounds echoed.

"Next is... the guest..."

"Performance..."

"Everyone applaud."

Wu Xiaode was left puzzled.

—Why did it feel like a concert was happening?

A small figure emerged from his hair strands, and said:

"No need to go over. The Netherworld is always holding talent shows; only those good at singing and dancing can earn career advancements."

Chris!

She shook her head with disdain, saying, "Nowadays the Netherworld is obsessed with the glitz and glamor, an entertainment-driven Netherworld."

Wu Xiaode looked into the distance.

On the platform, as expected, someone began singing, and a few ghostly "mentors" sat with their backs to the stage.

"Why is it like this?" Wu Xiaode found it somewhat incomprehensible.

Chris gave him a surprised look.

"—You don't know?"

"How would I know!"

"Weren't you the one who set up that, first sing and dance in KTV, become a popular star, and then step by step climb the Netherworld career ladder?"

"Ah?" Wu Xiaode recalled there was this matter, but—

"Wait a minute, that was just for the Netherworld in Pangu at the time, in urgent circumstances, to prevent Mysterious life forms from obtaining High-level Netherworld professions; why does Kunlun Mountain's Inner World's Netherworld correspond similarly?"

"Big bro, because Kunlun Mountain and Pangu are the 'inner' and 'outer' of the same world, they correspond to the same Netherworld." Chris expressed a resigned look.

"But why would they listen to me? That was just a temporary setup." Wu Xiaode still didn't get it.

Chris jumped up and shouted:

"Because your Netherworld profession Level is the highest, Little Wu Bro, you jumped five Levels in one go, it's Level 5!"

Wu Xiaode slapped his forehead.

Right.

Now, he is the "Ten Thousand Senluo Hall Master," possessing the Netherworld Skill "Eternal Words Match Fate," controlling the fate of all spirits.

As long as it's a spirit, their future destiny must heed his!

—So this matter's biggest fault lies with me!

"Then I'll cancel the rules."

Wu Xiaode said.

"No!" Chris screamed.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The Netherworld is a mix of fish and dragons; many deathly beings are very well-hidden, there might even be Holy Avatars—they were hidden in the Netherworld from the time before Pangu became evil, trying to acquire official positions." Chris said.

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but nod.

The benefits I received in my Netherworld profession made the Sequence Beasts green with envy.

They prevent me from returning to the Netherworld.

At the same time, they certainly made corresponding arrangements, trying to hide in the shadows, acquire powerful Netherworld professions, and search for the Pangu Card Set.

But the Netherworld promotion rules I set were starting from singing accompaniment in KTV.

That's a field they aren't good at.

Moreover, once the Netherworld profession reached a certain level, they experienced a deadlock, and I hadn't made corresponding improvement rules.

—This delayed those guys from advancing their professions.

They couldn't acquire more powerful Netherworld professions, naturally unable to stir up trouble!

A happy accident!

At this moment, the Evil Spirit Book silently flipped open, always turning to the "Shadow Demon King" page.

Several grey cards regained their color.

Ghost Queen Audrey.

Double Angel.

Bone Dragon.

Enchanting Demon Christina.

And—

The Mysterious life born from the corpses of the gods: Blood Youth.

On the card surface, everyone had their eyes closed, showing a slumbering appearance.

A line of bronze small text floated on the page:

"Due to the power of the Queen Mother of the West, these beings from the Death Side have all fallen into slumber, until you reach this moment again."

Wu Xiaode felt puzzled.

The Queen Mother of the West had almost everything calculated, and on top of that, was very thorough in her arrangements.

She even brought Fang Ya and Big Banana back to this era.

However, why let these followers of mine fall into slumber?

Why would the Queen Mother of the West make such preparations?

Wu Xiaode silently thought about it, suddenly discovering something strange.

He drew a card from the page.

Only to see a young girl with white hair and blood-red eyes drawn on the card surface.

Blood Youth!

Unlike the other Shadow Followers, her whole body was bound with iron chains, unable to move even slightly.

Moreover, the card she was on seemed like flesh and blood, constantly writhing, releasing an indescribable aura.

—This was completely different from the other cards!

"She is already free... but the Queen Mother of the West still sealed her here."

—Would the Queen Mother of the West make such a mistake?

No.

Wu Xiaode looked at the slumbering Blood Youth on the card, and softly said:

"If there are no issues, I'll first release you from slumber and allow you to regain your freedom."

"If there is an issue..."

He strongly shook the card.

Bronze small text immediately surfaced next to the card:

"Slumbering location: the seventeenth layer of Hell, bottom of the Blood Pool, in sealed state."

Wu Xiaode moved with a thought; his figure immediately entered the Void, directly passing through multiple layers of the Netherworld, reaching the seventeenth layer of Hell—

Blood Pool Hell!

In this layer of Hell, the undead were cast into the Blood Pool, where their flesh and blood thoroughly dissolved and corroded, long enduring the suffering of suffocation, boiling blood, dissolving bones, and poisonous stings.

Wu Xiaode released the dark giant hand to envelop himself, activating the "invincible" state, then plunged inside, diving deeper all the way down.

He carefully searched according to the prompt of the Evil Spirit Book and soon made a discovery.

"Here."

Wu Xiaode stopped in front of a corpse.

This was Blood Youth.

Sure enough, she was confined at the bottom of the Blood Pool, her whole body shackled with iron chains etched with runes, unable to move a bit.

When Wu Xiaode arrived, she seemed to sense him, and immediately opened her eyes.

"Save me."

She silently mouthed these words.

Trapped here for many years, always enduring the torture brought by the Blood Pool, with no way of escaping—

This is truly unlucky!

But why does it have to be this way?

Wu Xiaode carefully examined her, only to see a faint evil aura emitted from her body.

—She's been corrupted!

How could this be?

Wu Xiaode transmitted his voice, asking: "How did you become corrupted? Who acted against you?"

Blood Youth's expression dimmed and responded:

"After leaving you, I originally planned to find a place to lay low for a while, but the Pangu World seemed to have a peculiar interest in me. It took advantage of my sleeping state and told me through dreams—"

"I was chosen as its World Master."

"As long as I was willing to accept, I could gain its infinite power."

Wu Xiaode widened his eyes, incredulous, saying:

"You believed it?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but it indeed gave me indescribable power." Blood Youth showed deep regret.

"I am very speechless with you." Wu Xiaode said.

Feeling something within, he looked back at the Evil Spirit Book.

Only to see a new prompt rune appear next to Blood Youth's card:

"Blood Youth."

"Ominous curse of the gods, evil transformed miracle, Pangu appointed new Mother of the World."

"—From the last moment of the previous era, the Queen Mother of the West exhausted all her powers to trap her here, must be trying to tell you something."
