Li Yao's sharp eyes swept across the top of the Ghost Gate Pass, and he discovered that many restrictions had been set up around the Ghost Gate Pass.
With a gentle wave of his right hand, countless threads of magic and runes immediately appeared!
Especially above the Ghost Gate city wall, the dense array of restrictions gathered together looked like a large bowl overturned on the city wall.
"The defenses at this gate of hell are quite tight!"
"Long San, was it like this before?"
Li Yao asked the Third Princess Long.
"No, when Sun Ying and I left here, these restrictions weren't there yet!"
Princess Long San shook her head and said.
Actually, Princess Long San had some dissatisfaction with Li Yao before.
However, after learning that Li Yao had easily eliminated Crocodile God, her opinion of Li Yao changed.
Now, she still needs Li Yao to rescue Han Xiangzi.
Therefore, her attitude towards Li Yao has now completely reversed.
"Yes, these restrictions weren't there before!"
Sun Ying echoed this sentiment.
"It seems that Lü Dongbin has begun to take precautions!"
Li Yao nodded slightly.
"Who dares to trespass into the gates of hell!"
On the city wall of the Gate of Hell, a ghost general exuding a chilling aura and terrifying demonic energy shouted loudly towards Li Yao.
"So noisy!"
Li Yao's expression hardened, and two sharp beams of light shot out from his eyes, heading towards the ghost general.
"ah……"
Before the ghost general could react, he was struck by Li Yao's light and instantly turned to ashes, his soul scattered.
"..."
Princess Long San and Sun Ying were dumbfounded.
This Li Yao is truly amazing!
"Third Princess, watch me break these annoying restrictions!"
Sun Ying wanted to make a good impression on Princess Long San.
So, he flipped his hand and unleashed a dazzling beam of magical light towards the barrier in the air.
boom!
A flash of light appeared on the barrier.
The restriction remained unmoved, and at the same time, it rebounded a powerful force, sending Sun Ying flying.
"ah!"
Sun Ying let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground.
"You're so useless!"
Princess Long San gave Sun Ying a disdainful look.
Sun Ying was extremely embarrassed. He hadn't expected that not only would he fail to impress Princess Long San, but he would also make a fool of himself.
This is truly embarrassing!
Li Yao smiled slightly.
He had already condensed a ball of Samadhi Heavenly Fire in his hand.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent a burst of intense Samadhi Heavenly Fire into a raging sea of flames, which then burned towards the restrictions in the sky.
boom!
In an instant, these densely packed restrictions were reduced to ashes and vanished under the intense heat of the Samadhi Heavenly Fire.
"Brother Li is truly amazing!"
Princess Long San gave Li Yao a thumbs up.
Seeing this, Sun Ying became even more heartbroken.
"Come on, let's go inside!"
Li Yao led Bai Mudan and the others through the Gate of Hell and into the realm of the Underworld.
Along the way, they encountered many ghost soldiers and ghost generals.
These ghost soldiers and generals were all filled with ghostly and demonic energy, making them extremely eerie.
Unfortunately, these ghost soldiers and generals were destined to be cannon fodder.
Li Yao unleashed his Overlord Divine Spear, instantly absorbing all the demons blocking his path.
"stop!"
Suddenly, two familiar figures appeared in front of Li Yao and the others.
The two figures were none other than Lan Caihe and Zhang Guolao.
However, Lan Caihe and Zhang Guolao in front of us are somewhat different.
They exuded a dense demonic aura, inspiring awe in all who beheld them.
Their eyes were tinged with an eerie green light, making them look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"Disciple, Lan Caihe, what's wrong with you two?"
"How did you suddenly take over the underworld?"
"And why are you all looking at me like that?"
Upon seeing Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe, Princess Long San asked in bewilderment.
Because Zhang Guolao was gluttonous, he was willing to abandon his pride and dignity for the sake of delicious food, and he even recognized the Third Princess of the Dragon as his master.
That's why Princess Long San called Zhang Guolao her disciple.
Who is your apprentice?
"Who are you, daring to trespass into the underworld?"
Zhang Guolao shouted sternly, as if he didn't recognize Li Yao, Bai Mudan, Princess Longsan, and Sun Ying at all.
"Master Guo, it's me, White Peony! Don't you recognize me?"
Bai Mudan looked puzzled.
"What white peony, red peony?"
"How dare you trespass into the underworld! Prepare to die!"
Zhang Guolao was surrounded by demonic energy, and two chaotic green lights flickered in his eyes.
He banged his fish drum hard!
A strange and eerie chant emanated from the fish drum, creating eerie green ripples that swept towards Li Yao and the others.
The ripples emanated a torrent of demonic energy, making them extremely terrifying and eerie.
Upon hearing the eerie chanting, Bai Mudan, Princess Longsan, and Sun Ying immediately felt their blood churn and a wave of nausea wash over them, causing them to vomit.
"What eerie chanting!"
Li Yao was secretly puzzled.
He hadn't expected that the blood curse on Zhang Guolao was so deep, and that the demonic energy on his body was so intense.
Previously, Lü Dongbin had also been cursed with a blood curse.
However, Lü Dongbin still had moments of lucidity.
Zhang Guolao, standing before him, seemed to have no recollection of him, Bai Mudan, or the others.
Zhang Guolao's consciousness should be completely controlled by the Blood Curse.
Li Yao estimated that it was because Tongtian Jiaozhu was killed by him, and then Lü Dongbin was no longer under anyone's control.
Therefore, Lü Dongbin became completely possessed by demons and used a blood curse to completely control Zhang Guolao and others.
Zhang Guolao and others were thus corrupted by demonic possession.
Li Yao never expected that Zhang Guolao, after falling into demonic possession, would experience such a dramatic increase in strength, becoming far more powerful than Zhang Guolao a hundred years later.
However, although Zhang Guolao's chanting was extremely strange, it was still a bit too much for him to harm Li Yao.
Li Yao's expression hardened, and the spiritual energy within his body surged forth, forming a protective aura around him that resembled a tortoise shell.
Strange green ripples crashed into the tortoise-shell-like aura, but didn't even cause a ripple, disappearing without a trace as if they had vanished into the sea.
"What an amazing spiritual energy shield!"
Zhang Guolao's pupils suddenly contracted.
He kept beating the fish drum, his hand movements becoming faster and faster, and strange green ripples, like ocean waves, surged towards Li Yao one after another.
"That's all there is to it!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, then suddenly threw a punch.
A fist flashed!
In an instant, a powerful and vast fist force filled the heavens and the earth, enveloping the void and distorting the void within a radius of several dozen feet.
"What terrifying power!"
Zhang Guolao was terrified.
He felt the void around him distorted and deformed, and an invisible pressure that had solidified into a tangible form instantly enveloped him.
Around him, cracks appeared beneath his feet, as if an earthquake had struck.
