True Immortal of the Netherworld

The vast forest in the dark night is deep and mysterious.

In the night sky, a lone moon hung like a silver plate. The empty hills were covered with a layer of cold white gauze by the moonlight. The howling autumn wind passed by, and the shadows of a few dead leaves passed under the cold moon shadow, quiet!

Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared on the empty hill. This figure was wearing a huge black hooded cloak. He stood in the moonlight with his back, and a long shadow was reflected in front of him.

"Calculate the time, it should be here." The man said to himself.

Suddenly, a few ear-splitting bird calls pierced the silent night sky, and several birds started to fly in a forest not far away.

In the woods, a pair of green eyes looked greedily at the man on the hill. Behind his eyes was a huge, blurry black shadow.

Amidst the rustling of the vegetation, a strange black shadow emerged from the forest and slowly approached the people on the hill.

Under the pure white moonlight, the black shadow could not escape, revealing its true face. It turned out to be a beast that looked like a black panther with a stature of two feet.

The black panther's green eyes were fixed on the person on the hill, approaching quietly, five feet, four feet...

The figure on the hill remained motionless, as if unaware that the danger was getting closer and closer to him.

Thirty feet away, the black panther stopped. The hair on his shoulders stood up, and his mouth was opened wide, revealing a row of scimitar-like fangs. A few strands of saliva fell from the corners of his grinned mouth. The man standing on the hill still stood with his back turned, the corners of his cloak fluttering slightly in the night wind.

The black panther bent its limbs, then kicked the ground hard, and its huge body rushed towards the people on the hill like a god of death streaking across the night sky.

At the critical moment, the man turned his head, and the outline of half of his face was vaguely exposed under the brim of the hat that covered his head, with light blue skin and thin cheeks.

"court death!"

Before he finished speaking, the man's body twisted strangely and turned around.

Their eyes met, and the figure under the cloak was completely exposed to the moonlight. What's surprising is that the other half of his face is covered with gray-white scales like snake scales.

The Black Panther, who was flying in mid-air, had never seen or eaten such a half-snake, half-human monster before, and there was a hint of confusion in his originally bloodthirsty eyes.

The half-faced man suddenly stretched out his skinny right hand and grabbed the air with his fingers. As a strange blue arc flashed across his fingertips, circles of blue electric grid appeared around the Black Panther's body.

There seemed to be a huge force pressing around the black panther's huge body, and the huge body began to twist violently like dough. With a bang, the whole body turned into a bloody red mist under the pressure.

The blood mist rolled, revealing the shape of a blood leopard about the size of a foot.

The half-faced man grinned, stretched out a red and slender tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and then sucked hard. The blood leopard in the air turned into a line of blood, and all the blood leopards were sucked into its mouth.

"This inferior spirit beast, the blood soul tastes really bad." Half-faced Man said to himself. After saying that, he turned his back, and in front of him was still the long dark shadow reflected by the moonlight.

The moonlight was shining brightly, and the tranquility on the hills returned to its previous state.

Not long after, another figure came to the hill.

The visitor was tall, dressed in black night clothes, with a black scarf wrapped around his face. He looked young between his brows.

"Here is the reward that was agreed upon before." After saying that, the masked man handed a storage bag to the half-faced man.

Half-faced Man took the storage bag, took out a list, looked at it carefully and put the list away. He whispered: "I will arrange this matter perfectly."

"Then it's your turn, Your Excellency."

After a while, the half-faced man and the masked man both left the hill. There are no abrupt shadows on the flat surface, and it is as smooth as a silver beach.

…

Tiangui Sect's autumn hunting event was welcomed by many Tiangui Sect disciples, especially the new low-level disciples.

Most of the daily training tasks of low-level disciples are unremarkable and boring. The autumn hunting activity, which has not been open for more than ten years, is reopened, and everyone wants to try their skills.

In a temporary square at the edge of the Wanyu Forest, there were densely packed disciples of the Tiangui Sect who were preparing to participate in the autumn hunting activities. There seemed to be two or three hundred people.

"This autumn hunting activity has not been open for more than ten years. It is said that there are countless kinds of spiritual materials and spiritual beasts in this Ten Thousand Domains Forest."

“There should be a lot to gain.”

"The Shuojin Mianzhang that I have recently practiced has broken through to the third level, and I can just try my skills in this activity."

"It is said that the beasts in this Ten Thousand Domains Forest are extraordinary, so it's better to be careful."

"I heard that there is a unique kind of periwinkle in the Ten Thousand Realms Forest, which is unbeatable all year round and has the effect of beautifying the face. I want to pick some and bring them back to my junior sister."

"Many people want to give gifts to junior sister, but I'm afraid it won't be your turn."

…

In the square, all the disciples were whispering to each other.

"Little sister, you should be able to earn a lot of spiritual stones from this autumn hunting activity. If you earn more spiritual stones, you can pay off your debts." Among the crowd, Zhu Liunian was fat and dressed in a khaki oversized coat. said.

"Brother, you rarely participate in trial activities on weekdays. You have too little experience in fighting with others. I didn't agree with your coming. Moreover, this autumn hunting activity has not been open for many years, and the risks involved are still unknown." Zhu Liuqing, who was dressed in a green dress, replied.

"Hey, it's all my fault that I owe a lot of spiritual stones due to gambling. I've been relying on you, sister, to scrape together these days. I'm really sorry for you. I hope I can do my part this time. It's risky for you to come out alone to participate. Brother, I am really worried about the trial."

"Brother, we two brothers and sisters depend on each other for life. Your business is my business, and it should be like this. You have a pure nature. Just stay away from gambling houses and stop gambling."

"What my sister said is that I will never gamble again." Zhu Liunian said with self-reproach.

At this time, the bustling crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on one end of the square.

Several strong disciples of the Tiangui Sect came to the square surrounded by a handsome man. This big man was twice as big as an ordinary person. Standing in the center of the square, he looked like an iron tower.

The big man looked at the many disciples in the square, nodded, and then said loudly: "This autumn hunting event is hosted by me, Zhan Tianba. I hope that the disciples participating in this event will put their own safety first, and then Please support me, Lao Zhan, I won’t say much else.”

"Master of Mangui Hall, the number one physical cultivator of Tiangui Sect, your aura is really extraordinary." Xu Yang praised in a low voice.

Nangong Zhongshan in the crowd saw Zhan Tianba coming on stage and cast aside his admiring glances. He said proudly: "The hall master is an existence that is beyond the reach of physical practitioners, and he is also one of the people I admire most in Nangong Zhongshan."

At this time, a handsome young deacon next to Zhan Tianba began to read aloud an explanation of the autumn hunting activities in his hand.

"In recent days, spiritual beasts from the Ten Thousand Domains Forest have invaded border villages, causing damage to many people's lives and homes. At the request of the King of Wei, the Lord of the Tiangui Sect issued a special order to organize this autumn hunting activity. This time Zhan Tianba, the leader of the Barbarian Ghost Hall, was appointed to host the event, with the intention of expelling the spirit beasts in the area close to the Wei Kingdom in the Wanyu Forest back to the center of the Wanyu Forest so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. Not victorious.”

"The power of the gods of the ghost sect will win the battle against all odds!" Many disciples in the audience raised their arms and shouted in unison, the sound shaking the sky. Just like the soldiers waiting to go out, they are all gearing up and their morale is high.

"This operation is divided into three brigades, entering the Wanyu Forest in three directions. The teams in each brigade are composed of disciples from each branch or branch to facilitate coordinated operations. The disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Hall do not form separate teams. Spread into various teams to keep in touch with the host of this event. The duration of this event is seven days, and we will meet here after seven days." After finishing speaking, the young deacon retreated to Zhan Tianba's side.

"The autumn hunting activity has just begun." Zhan Tianba gave the order, and the many disciples in the square quickly organized into three groups according to the plan, and entered the Wanyu Forest in three directions: left, center and right.

Nangong Zhongshan accepted Xu Yang's invitation beforehand and came to the Mulingyuan team. In addition to brother and sister Xu Yang and Zhu Liunian, there were seven other disciples from the Mulingyuan who participated in this event. Because Mulingyuan is not a specialized combat branch, the number of places for this event is limited to ten people. As a disciple of the Seventh Battle Hall of Tiangui Sect, they are the main combat force of this autumn hunting event.

According to the prior plan, the team from the Wood Spirit Academy began to move towards the target area.

Two hours later, Xu Yang and his party arrived at the designated area safely.

"Why didn't I meet a spiritual beast along the way?" A well-behaved female disciple from the Wood Spirit Academy team said nervously.

Seeing someone asking questions, Nangong Zhongshan replied: "This junior sister's name is Yuner. Don't be nervous, because three days ago, the routes of each team were cleared by our Mangui Hall disciples, so that everyone can reach the designated location smoothly. Location, complete the planned mission. From now on, the area that needs to be searched will be very large. Because the risk level of this event is not high, there are only a few disciples with Peiyuan Realm cultivation participating in this event. , most of them are disciples who have entered the spiritual realm and disciples who have cultivated in the virtual realm, so it’s better for everyone to act with caution.”

Nangong Zhongshan pointed to a small black triangular flag with the word "barbarian" written on it on the trunk of a big tree not far away.

"I planted this flag here three days ago."

"Oh, I see."

After hearing this, the ten disciples of the Wood Spirit Academy, including Xu Yang, all nodded and expressed their admiration for the Mangui Hall's methodical preparations for organizing this autumn hunting event.

Nangong Zhongshan looked at the ten people in front of him carefully and said: "There are eleven people in total including me. In order to complete the task within seven days, we need to be divided into four teams. The teams are evenly distributed according to combat strength. This Yun and I Let's join a group of junior sisters. Each of the remaining nine people is divided into a group. We locate the surrounding teammates according to the compass in our hands. The four groups keep a certain distance. If one of the groups is in danger, they will send a signal for help to the neighboring ones. The teams move closer and support each other.

Ever since Nangong Zhongshan came to Zhu Liuqing's rescue last time in the ring, Zhu Liuqing had a good impression of Nangong Zhongshan's loyalty and ability. Seeing that Nangong Zhongshan was brave and resourceful, he couldn't help but look at Nangong Zhongshan with approval.
