After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Not only did the old ghost who led the way not plan to go any deeper, but even Murong Jin stopped moving forward.

Murong Jin said seriously: "You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Gu Qingze glanced at Murong Jin, then looked deeper.

"Should I go alone?" he asked uncertainly.

"Yes." Murong Jin seemed to not understand why he asked that, and nodded as a matter of course, "Do you still want me to go with you?"

"The Netherworld Spring is ahead. If I go with you, wouldn't that be courting death?"

"You...Youming Spring?" Gu Qingze felt that the word was somehow familiar. He recalled that when he and Ling Xiao met the Demon King before, Song Jinnian mentioned it to them when he talked about the Demon King's deeds.

At that time, Ling Xiao saw that he was confused, so he explained to him in detail the knowledge related to the "Netherworld Spring".

He clearly remembered the awe on Song Jinnian's face when he mentioned the Netherworld Spring.

And according to Song Jinnian, only the current Demon King has successfully crossed the Netherworld Spring and returned safely.

Inside the Netherworld Spring, the Nine-Layered Yang Pass, there were countless evil spirits and ghosts. If he stepped in... no, should I say, as soon as he got close, he would be torn to pieces by those evil spirits, right?

At this moment, he recalled the ballad that Ling Xiao later sang in order to make him understand more deeply:

"It's pitch black in the Netherworld Spring, and the Nine-Layer Yang Gate locks up souls for a long time. Evil ghosts and wronged souls are wandering everywhere, and their wails are chilling. The gloomy and cold air is chilling, and ghosts are everywhere in the night. Do not step into this place to seek excitement, lest your soul be forever hidden..."

The more Gu Qingze thought about it, the more horrified he felt, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Murong Jin heard his surprised tone and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is the Netherworld Spring."

Gu Qingze said: "But... As far as I know, in all these years in the Netherworld Spring, apart from the current demon king who escaped unscathed, no other creature could..."

"That's true. I didn't expect you to have such a wide range of knowledge." Murong Jin seemed a little surprised and sighed.

Then, he waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's not me who's going there anyway, so no matter how dangerous it is, it has nothing to do with me."

Of course it doesn’t matter to you, I’m the one entering…!!!

Gu Qingze gritted his teeth, tried his best to calm his overly intense emotions, and tried to reason: "Senior Murong, do you think I have the ability to rival the current demon king, so you let me go?"

"Of course not. Why do you think so? Don't be so confident. You are far inferior to the current demon king."

Murong Jin covered his face and laughed as if he had heard a very funny joke. After a while, he stopped laughing.

Gu Qingze waited patiently for him to finish laughing before continuing to ask, "Since that's not the case, Senior Murong wants me to die?"

Murong Jin's smile became even more intense. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "Well, how should I explain it? You are not wrong to think so... But I am also training you and giving you a chance."

"If you can come back alive, that would be the best. If you die, that's fine. It's no big deal. Don't you dare to take a gamble? Bet that you might come back alive. By then, you will become very, very powerful."

"Forget it. Whether you want to gamble or not, I will push you into the Nether Spring. Whether you are willing or not, your self-will or something like that is not important, and I don't care."

"However, I can give you some buffer time. Just consider it as my...kindness and consideration. It doesn't matter whether you are grateful to me or not."

After listening to Murong Jin's words, Gu Qingze realized that the other party did not intend to leave him any way out.

The reason why he had been enduring before was because compared to the probability of dying in the trial, if he ran away, the probability of Murong Jin killing him was greater.

But at this moment... the situation is completely different. Although the probability of entering the Nether Spring and surviving is very small, the probability of escaping from Murong Jin seems to be slightly higher.

But before Gu Qingze could make any move, Murong Jin seemed to have known his thoughts in advance.

He waved his finger lightly, and Gu Qingze felt an irresistible force pulling him away and pushing him into the bottomless, inky black waters...

Gu Qingze's body was tightly entangled by the wronged souls that emerged from the deep black water. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not get rid of this power.
