Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness

Wangcheng is one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Huangquan. It is also a relatively prosperous place in the underworld. It is about 500 miles away from Huangdu, the center of Huangquan.

It is darker here than the outside world. There is a sulfur-like smell in the air and green ghost fires are floating in the sky. This is the natural lighting of the underworld, called Nether Fire.

Li Wanji looked up and saw a towering city standing in the clouds in the distance. Black flags were fluttering on the city walls, exuding a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

She walked quickly to the city gate, explained her purpose to the ghost guarding the city and presented the token, and was then allowed to enter the city.

Li Wanji walked on the street, surrounded by some strange creatures wandering around. Some had human bodies and bull heads, and some had human faces and snake bodies. Some of them carried hoes, and some held lanterns. They looked like the residents here.

When these creatures saw Li Wanji, an outsider, they all looked at her curiously, but no one came forward to talk to her.

Li Wanji knew that this was the underworld and these creatures were the souls of the dead. Although they still had the memories and habits of their previous lives, they were no longer real living beings.

According to the information she had learned from the "Xianyuan Map" before, she came to a market called "Mingchang" in the city, where she could find the Forgotten River Alliance's base in Wangcheng.

Li Wanji walked into the underworld and saw people coming and going in the market, ghosts everywhere, and it was very lively. The sounds of hawking and bargaining came one after another, with both the silence of death and the hustle and bustle of life.

The items sold here are all specialties of the underworld. There are underworld lamps made with underworld fire, which illuminate the night of the underworld; there is underworld silk soaked in underworld water, which is soft and tough and can withstand the cold wind of the underworld; and there are all kinds of strange underworld grasses and fruits.

Although it is useless to living beings, it is a treasured item by the souls of the underworld.

Li Wanji walked through the market, her eyes wandering around, looking for the symbol of the Wangchuan Alliance, a blood-red Lycoris radiata.

This Lycoris radiata is the true form of Jiuluo Nanxing, the Lord of the Wangchuan River. He uses this flower as a symbol to symbolize the majesty and power of the Wangchuan Alliance.

Finally, in a corner of the market, Li Wanji saw a very inconspicuous restaurant. When she was about to miss it, she caught a glimpse of several unusual lanterns hanging at the door of the restaurant out of the corner of her eye.

On the lantern, the blood-red Lycoris radiata seemed to come alive under the illumination of the Netherworld Fire. Each flower was gorgeous and yet a little weird.

Li Wanji was delighted, knowing that this was the base of the Wangchuan League in Wangcheng.

She walked forward and pushed open the wooden door of the restaurant. A strong aroma of wine wafted into her nose, mixed with the unique scent of the underworld.

The restaurant was simply decorated with a few tables scattered around. Several residents of the underworld were talking in low voices, and occasionally there were some hearty laughs.

Li Wanji looked around and her eyes finally fell on a man behind the counter.

The man was dressed in black and had a stern face. He was wiping the wine glass in his hand with his head down and seemed not to notice Li Wanji's arrival.

Li Wanji walked lightly to the counter and said the first half of the code: "On the way to the underworld, Lycoris radiata leads the way back home."

The man in black paused when he heard this, and raised his head to look at Li Wanji. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

But in just a moment, his eyes returned to calm, as if what just happened was just an illusion.

He put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "Beside the Wangchuan River, the rippling blue waves reflect the other side."

After hearing the secret code, Li Wanji felt relieved, knowing that this man was the person in charge of the Wangchuan League in Wangcheng.

She took a step forward, bowed slightly, and saluted: "I am the head of the Wanji Mountain Li family, Li Wanji, and I have come to join the Wangchuan League uprising army!"

The man in black stood up, walked around the counter, extended his hand to Li Wanji, and said, "Welcome to join the Wangchuan Alliance, Chief Li. I am the person in charge here, my name is Ye Wushang. Please follow me and we will talk in detail."

Ye Wushang led Li Wanji through the restaurant and came to a secret room in the backyard. The interior was simply decorated with only a wooden table and two chairs. On the table was a ghost lamp, emitting a faint light.

After the two of them sat down, Ye Wushang poured Li Wanji a glass of Huangquan wine, which is a unique wine in the underworld. It is clear with a hint of blue, spicy at first but sweet in the aftertaste.

"Patriarch Li, it is a great honor for the Wangchuan Alliance to have you join us." Ye Wushang raised his glass to Li Wanji, then drank it all in one gulp.

Li Wanji also raised his glass in response, saying, "Lord Ye, although the Wanjishan Li family is weak, we also know that every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country, and we are willing to do our part for the Wangchuan League uprising army."

After the two of them drank, Ye Wushang began to ask in detail about Li Wanji and the Li family, including the strength of the family members, their cultivation methods, and their expertise.

He took out a thick list and registered Li Wanji, while explaining the organizational structure, action guidelines and future plans of the Wangchuan League.

Ye Wushang said: "The Wangchuan League uprising army was formed by the Lord of Wangchuan River himself, with the intention of overthrowing the tyranny of the Lord of the Underworld Cangyuan. Now, the uprising army has spread all over the underworld, and when the time is right, they can attack Youdu Mountain in one fell swoop."

Li Wanji's blood boiled when she heard this. She said, "Lord Ye, although the Li family is not talented, we are willing to serve the uprising army. I wonder what tasks Lord Ye can assign to us?"

From beginning to end, she never stated that she and Jiuluo Nanxing were Taoist companions, so as not to use this relationship to gain privileges or preferential treatment.

Instead, he wanted to win a place for his family in the battle of the underworld through his strength and hard work as the patriarch of the Li family.

Ye Wushang smiled and said, "Patriarch Li, don't be anxious. You have just arrived and you still need to get familiar with the environment. I will assign you some simple tasks first, such as collecting intelligence and contacting the rebel forces in various places."

Li Wanji nodded in agreement, but she had already made up her mind. Now their Li family is indeed too weak, and they can only start with these basic tasks and slowly accumulate strength and influence.

After completing the registration for joining the alliance, Ye Wushang suddenly said, "Patriarch Li, our River Lord has specially prepared a banquet to welcome all the heroes. Will you please come with me?"

When Li Wanji heard the party mentioned by Ye Wushang, she was a little surprised but remained calm.

She knew very well that in a place like the underworld, the rules and human relationships were different from those in the outside world, so she did not ask too many questions and just nodded in agreement.

Ye Wushang led Li Wanji through the secret passage and came to a spacious hall of the restaurant, which was completely different from the market and restaurant interior they had seen before.

The decoration here is very much like a entertainment place in the human world, with bright lights, constant sounds of stringed instruments, and laughter and joyful chatter amidst the clinking of glasses.

Li Wanji took a look and saw that many people had gathered in the hall. They were standing or sitting, gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

There were also several charming dancers dancing on the stage. They were dressed in light gauze and had graceful figures, adding a bit of ambiguity and charm to the atmosphere of the party.

Ye Wushang led Li Wanji into the hall, and immediately several gazes were cast over them.

Ye Wushang introduced them one by one, and Li Wanji also smiled and nodded in greeting.
