Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1706 - 1020: Soul Punishment Tomb

"Soul Punishment Tomb..." Baili An loosened the pressure of the sword tip at Qin Lou’s throat, his expression darkened as he looked at Fang Geyu and asked: "What kind of place is that?"

Fang Geyu’s face was somewhat grim, "Northwest Sea, Chaotic Soul Dead Land, it was once a Spirit Tomb linking the giant abyss of the alien sea.

My mother suppressed the Northwest Sea Domain for a millennium, but only this Chaotic Soul Dead Land was the most perilous, it was a point where the earth veins surged and breached the boundary of the Mortal World.

Therefore, a thousand years ago, my mother entered the giant abyss of the alien sea alone, waging a lonely war lasting five hundred years, slaying the demon world attempting to breach the boundary and endlessly flooding into the Mortal Sea Domain beneath her sword.

The resentment after death lingered through the years, my mother severed a strand of True Ancestor’s remnant soul, transforming it into nine Evil Thought Beads, suppressing to death in the Chaotic Soul Dead Land, absorbing the resentment of demons which ultimately formed the Soul Punishment Tomb.

The Soul Punishment Tomb devours living beings, annihilating the physical body of the subject, and slaughtering its soul, turning into non-human evil, situated thirty li under the Northwest Sea Domain.

Barriers are set on all sides, outsiders cannot enter, and the demons from beneath the giant abyss of the alien sea think to invade the Mortal Sea Domain, but will also be annihilated by the Soul Punishment Tomb."

Baili An listened, his heart pounded with terror, even though he hadn’t witnessed firsthand how perilous the Soul Punishment Tomb was.

But just from the nine Evil Thought Beads transformed from the remnants of the True Ancestor Evil God suppressing the Soul Punishment Tomb.

One could understand that this place was extremely dreadful.

Additionally, this Soul Punishment Tomb would annihilate living beings, assimilating into evil, thereby growing more menacing.

Beneath the earth veins of this sea domain, otherworldly sea demons continuously try to crash through the barrier to invade the Mortal World.

Now a millennium has passed, the evil aura inside the Soul Punishment Tomb is likely unimaginably dense.

Baili An clenched his hand until his knuckles turned pale, his breath surging: "Such a dangerous place, why would she go alone?"

She also went in such a hurry, leaving him no time to receive any message.

Qin Lou sensed the silent spread of his killing intent, things had come to this, and she dared not conceal anything.

"Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s lifespan is near its end, he must continually harvest the spiritual power of female cultivators with rich cultivation to sustain his life.

Generally, mortal spiritual power is limited, requiring a massive quantity to harvest.

Now there is an Empress in Central Netherworld within the city, a perfect target. Pressed to a dead end, Golden Immortal Feng Xu has nothing to fear."

Baili An anticipated a storm in his eyes.

At the end of the Sea God Festival that day, Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s gaze towards his mother was already peculiar.

He thought that no matter how audacious, Feng Xu would not dare to offend the Taiyin Emperor, just a verbal provocation against Baili Yu that day.

After all, his mother wasn’t an ordinary female cultivator, she would never sit and wait to die regarding Feng Xu’s covetousness.

If he truly dared to use forceful means, it would likely come at a great cost.

Baili An touched her chin with the cold blade of his sword, lifting it: "I asked, why would she go to that place?"

Under his piercing gaze, Qin Lou felt cold sweat on her back, hurriedly saying:

"It was Sect Master Baili, Golden Immortal Feng Xu lured Empress with her Jade as bait, deceiving Sect Master Baili when the Empress unintentionally fell into the Soul Punishment Tomb.

Sect Master Baili was emotionally unbalanced, slashed open the abyss barrier with one sword, entering the Soul Punishment Spirit."

The Central Netherworld Empress dislikes gold and silver, but especially loves jade accessories daily.

Under her belt, the jingling of jade beads circle her waist, like spring water striking stone, like water on jade, especially pleasant.

During the Sea God Festival, she fought fiercely with Golden Immortal Feng Xu, and it’s not surprising a few jade beads were shattered.

Qin Lou glanced at Baili An’s increasingly icy face, his eyes deep, difficult to discern his true emotions under daylight.

She continued: "The momentum of Sect Master Baili’s sword was vast, perhaps alerts the Empress, the abyss barrier breaks greatly, indirectly affecting the Soul Punishment Tomb.

The Empress is naturally sensitive to soul evil aura, though she has departed from the Nine Nethers, as the Empress of Central Netherworld, balancing the yin and yang of Heaven and Earth, it’s her duty.

Golden Immortal Feng Xu precisely pinched the Empress’s psychology, therefore..."

Qin Lou looked at Baili An growing more and more icy, gradually speechless.

Baili An finally withdrew the sword tip from her chin, his face blurred in the intertwined light and shadow, his voice icy:

"Steward Qin Lou, you think you’ve done this seamlessly.

But sooner rather than later, your collusion with Golden Immortal Feng Xu, scheming against the Empress in Central Netherworld, will be conveyed to the Netherworld Mansion in Nine Nethers.

Do you know what price you will pay for doing such a thing?"

Qin Lou trembled uncontrollably at his words, then a vague fear slowly climbed into her heart.

A strange feeling, it was clearly broad daylight, yet the youth’s inhuman crimson eyes seemed to glimpse a shred of dim night, exuding chilling coldness.

His indifferent words carried a harsh judgment: "If you live, you will be entangled daily by the curses of the hundred thousand Heroic Spirits and Fierce Ghosts of Central Netherworld.

Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you’ll never rid yourself of the revenge will from the Dynasty of Central Netherworld.

If you die! Your soul will fall to the Nine Nethers, never to reincarnate, never see the light of day, the Eighteen Layers of Hell will be your eternal fate!"

Qin Lou’s face turned pale, collapsing to the ground, she could foresee every future day filled with extreme fear, numbering her remaining days, feeling despair choking her life.

Baili An did not kill her, but rather let her fully feel this fear of despair.
