Chapter 1309 - 1309 Nether River Ferry

1309 Nether River Ferry

Han Muye narrowed his eyes and his gaze landed on the mutant beast that had darted out of the river.

Its entire body was grayish-white, and it was a thousand feet long. Its two horns were black, and its eyes were red, like a fish with four legs. Its long claws flickered with a cold light.

Its long and narrow body twisted, raising huge waves.

There were no fins on its back, but there was a pile of transparent wings attached to it.

“Don’t use your soul to investigate. This thing will come after you if it senses your soul,” Ke Yang warned, his eyes fixed on the creature writhing on the blood-red river’s surface. “The creatures in the Nether River feed on souls.”

Devouring souls?

If a person lost their soul, they would be a walking corpse.

“Sigh, what a loss, what a loss.”

Ke Yang muttered and raised his hand. On the sail above his head, specks of pure soul scattered and turned into golden beans.

This was condensed from pure soul power.

These beans could be directly fused into the soul to increase the power of the soul.

Such a pure soul was worth at least a hundred immortal spiritual rocks.

The key was that even alchemy would find it difficult to condense this item.

Ke Yang waved his hand and threw the golden soul crystals onto the river 100,000 feet behind him.

As the soul crystal fell, the dark beast was instantly attracted. It flapped the waves and slowly spread the wings on its back before rus.h.i.+ng over.

This time, Han Muye could see clearly that those wings, when fully extended, were 100 feet wide, completely disproportionate to the creature’s bulky body.

But with these slender wings, it could carry the creature into the air.

“Nothing floats in the Nether River. The Nether Beast is an anomaly, and this one is only a cub. A true adult Nether Beast is 10,000 feet long, and its wings cover the sky.”

“It’s said that there are also Eight-Winged Dark Beasts in the Nether River. That’s…” Ke Yang shook his head, fear flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. “Anyway, I’ve never seen them before. Everyone I’ve seen is dead.”

Han Muye nodded.

Not many people could escape from such a powerful exotic beast on the Nether River.

The Nether Beast was attracted by the few soul crystals, and the river slowly returned to calm.

The divine souls that Ke Yang had attracted previously could not condense so many divine soul crystals. It was no wonder he said that he had suffered a loss.

Han Muye turned to look at the s.h.i.+p’s sails.

“This sail is refined from the dark beast’s wings, and the hull is the bone of the dark beast.” Ke Yang seemed to know what he was thinking and said with a smile.

As expected.

“The Soul Grinding Banner is a secret treasure of our Nether River Ferryman Race. Only the Patriarch knows how to refine it.

“Many people had designs on our race, but in the end, they all fell in the Nether River.

“The Nether River is the shackle of our race, fate, and our strongest guardian.”

Ke Yang sighed with emotion.

Huang Six suddenly said, “Is your sister the matriarch of your clan now?

“I remember when she wanted to return to the Nether River, it was because the race was unguarded.”

Ke Yang nodded with a complicated expression.

As the sailboat moved forward, the three of them did not speak.

In this dark Nether River world, there was also skylight, reflecting the blood-red river and showing some resplendence.

Han Muye saw that the black shadows on the s.h.i.+p were all skeleton-like. They wore black robes and did not have any soul fluctuations. They only knew how to operate the sailboat mechanically.

This reminded him of the battle puppets in the intermediate city.

The shadow on the s.h.i.+p was very similar to the Battle Puppets, except that its appearance was different and it lacked armor.

“We’re here.” Ke Yang’s voice sounded.

He turned to look ahead and saw a small island appear.

The island looked to be only 10 miles in circ.u.mference, and from afar, it was lush green.

Closer, they were all flowering trees.

Flowers bloom like brocade.

In this blood river, there was also a small green island and ten miles of flowers. It was indeed rare.

On the greenish-black reef, a female cultivator in a pale white dress stood there.

“Sis, look who’s here!” Ke Yang shouted.

The female cultivator chuckled and looked at Huang Six.

Huang Six also looked emotional and nodded gently.

“Ke Xue, it’s been a long time.”

The female cultivator nodded and turned to Han Muye.

She actually recognized Han Muye and chuckled. “So it’s Senior Brother Han. Senior Brother Han is still as elegant as ever.”

So they were acquaintances.

But why didn’t Huang Six introduce her to everyone back then?

When Han Muye turned around, he saw Huang Six turn his head away.

On the island, there were not only Ke Yang and Ke Xue, but also more than a thousand clansmen.

According to Ke Xue’s introduction, the Nether River Ferrymen had their own mission, which was to guard the Nether River.

Every 100,000 years, the Nether River would churn, and the ferryman needed to step in to appease it.

There were also powerful Nether Beasts in the Nether River that they needed to hunt.

“There’s a Nether River Holy City deep in the river. To go there, you need a ferryman to send you off on a sailboat.”

“The person you’re looking for probably went to the Holy City.”

Looking at the jade token Han Muye took out, Ke Xue said.

The Nether River Holy City held the secret of reversing life and death.

It was said to have the power to summon the person you wanted from the endless sea of souls.

There, countless cultivators who had reached the end of their paths sought a place to avoid reincarnation and start anew, because in the Nether River Holy City.

It was said that as long as you paid the price, you could replace your decaying body and soul, rejuvenating yourself.

Looking at it this way, Li Mu Bai might already be in the Holy City.

Ke Xue said they would have to wait a while to go to the Holy City; there would be a large s.h.i.+p going there.

The Nether River had thousands of ferryman clansmen, and they would gather people from various places and send them to the Holy City.

As Han Muye wandered around the island, Huang Six seemed to have disappeared and couldn’t be found for several days.
