Even after they were banished to the mortal realm, Bai Mudan still loved Lü Dongbin as deeply as she had in her previous life.
This is the only time she and Lü Dongbin have witnessed their thousand-year-long love tribulation.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Li, we must revive Lü Dongbin as soon as possible, otherwise, if too much time passes, he may become too deeply entrenched in demonic possession and never be able to turn back!"
He Xiangu also had a special concern for Lü Dongbin.
Although she, like Bai Mudan, deeply admired Lü Dongbin.
However, she was much more rational than Bai Mudan.
Bai Mudan always wanted to retire to the mountains with Lü Dongbin and live a loving life together.
She didn't care at all about whether the Eight Immortals returned to their positions.
She cares even less about the problems of sentient beings in the three realms.
She only wanted to live a life of her own with Lü Dongbin.
Therefore, many people dislike white peonies.
Compared to Bai Mudan, He Xiangu's love for Lü Dongbin was much more rational.
She was able to consider the bigger picture, rather than selfishly trying to possess Lü Dongbin.
Of course, it's impossible to generalize about who is right and who is wrong.
From Bai Mudan's perspective, is it wrong for her to want a perfect love?
As for He Xiangu, she was willing to sacrifice her own feelings for the sake of so-called righteousness. Does that mean that what she did was right?
Sometimes, we can't be too absolute in judging whether a person's actions are right or wrong!
Let's get back to the main topic!
Now, Tieguai Li, Bai Mudan, and others all regard Li Yao as their backbone.
All eyes turned to Li Yao, awaiting his decision.
"I have just learned from the pangolin's memories that Lü Dongbin is currently in the City of the Wrongfully Dead."
"There's no time to lose, let's head to the City of the Wrongfully Dead immediately!"
Li Yao spoke first.
"good!"
Tieguai Li and the others responded in unison.
Subsequently, Li Yao and the others transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the City of the Unjustly Dead.
Soon, they arrived at the City of the Wrongfully Dead.
As is well known, the City of the Wrongfully Dead is a place specifically for imprisoning the ghosts who died unjustly.
Li Yao and the others discovered that the city gates of the City of the Wrongfully Dead were wide open, and there were no ghost soldiers or generals guarding them.
They entered the City of the Unjustly Dead without any hindrance.
The straight bluestone street was deserted, without a single ghost in sight.
A light white mist hung in the air, and on both sides were many houses and courtyards built with brown bricks and tiles.
"Strange, why aren't there any ghosts of the wrongfully deceased here?"
Tieguai Li was puzzled.
Logically speaking, with constant natural and man-made disasters, a large number of people die unjustly every day.
There should be a large number of unjustly killed ghosts in this City of the Wrongfully Dead.
However, since they entered the City of the Wrongfully Dead, they have not seen a single ghost who died unjustly.
Moreover, at this moment, the City of the Dead was completely silent, without a single ghost in sight.
"Yes, I heard that this place is a prison for the ghosts of those who died unjustly, but now, there isn't a single ghost in sight. It's really too eerie!"
Lan Caihe was completely bewildered.
"I bet this is definitely related to Dongbin!"
Han Zhongli started making bets again.
Everyone looked at him with disdain.
You don't even need to tell me, this must be related to Lü Dongbin.
But where did Lü Dongbin take these wrongfully deceased ghosts?
Why did Lü Dongbin make these wrongfully deceased ghosts disappear?
"Let's go and take a look at the city lord's mansion."
"I think Lü Dongbin should be in the city lord's mansion!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"Yes, yes, that's what I think too!"
Han Zhongli said, shaking his large palm-leaf fan.
Everyone looked down on Han Zhongli again.
This is hindsight!
As they spoke, Li Yao and the others arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.
The mansion before them was made of dark brown iron and stood a hundred feet tall, like a mountain peak.
The mansion's architecture lacks ornate carvings and decorative patterns, presenting a simple and rugged style.
At the entrance of the mansion, there are two tall iron-cast statues of the mythical beast Bi'an, standing on either side, so lifelike that they seem to be alive. They look very majestic and awe-inspiring.
As soon as Li Yao and his group approached the mansion, they felt waves of dense demonic energy rushing towards them.
The demonic energy was mixed with a nauseating stench of blood.
Skulls were scattered all over the ground, a chaotic and terrifying sight.
Who are you?
"Don't you know this is the City of the Wrongfully Dead?"
"Get out of here right now!"
Suddenly, a dozen ghost soldiers wielding large swords appeared at the entrance of the mansion.
They were all clad in dark armor, and the large swords in their hands gleamed brightly, gleaming with a chilling light.
One of the ghost soldiers shouted at Li Yao and the others.
Bang!
Li Yao was too lazy to bother with this gatekeeper.
With a casual wave of his hand, a beam of magical light shot out and struck several ghost soldiers.
Before the ghost soldiers could react, they were annihilated, their souls scattered.
"How dare you cause trouble here! You're asking for death!"
The remaining ghost soldiers, seemingly unafraid of death, let out a strange cry, picked up their large swords, and slashed at Li Yao.
A strange green light filled their eyes.
Clearly, they had become possessed and lost their minds.
Bang!
Li Yao's eyes narrowed, and a beam of magical light shot out from them, directly hitting the remaining ghost soldiers.
These ghost soldiers exploded one by one, dying instantly.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
After dealing with the dozen or so gatekeepers, Li Yao headed into the mansion.
Tieguai Li and the others exchanged glances and followed him inside.
Chapter 752 The Demonized Ten Kings of Hell
Li Yao and his group walked towards the City of the Wrongfully Dead.
Soon, they saw a strange light surrounding a large hall not far away, like a milky white nectar, enveloping the hall.
The main hall was filled with a dense, almost tangible, demonic aura, resembling amber and exuding a terrifying pressure.
The entire City of the Unjustly Dead was filled with this dense demonic energy.
Li Yao and his entourage entered the main hall.
Inside the main hall, a person with disheveled hair, eyes slightly closed, and legs crossed sat on a pool in the center of the hall.
This person is none other than Lü Dongbin!
"Dongbin, it's Dongbin!"
Upon seeing Lü Dongbin, Bai Mudan exclaimed excitedly.
She even wanted to rush over.
However, Li Yao stopped her.
"Don't go there, it's dangerous!"
Li Yao pointed to the location where Lü Dongbin was.
All around Lü Dongbin, on the ground, were many incredibly profound formations.
These formations are somewhat similar to the Qiankun Bagua Formation.
However, they are not entirely the same!
In fact, there are many places where it is completely opposite to the real Qiankun Bagua formation.
