t this time, Xun Xiu, after his height and scales, could fight Duan Huitian, who possessed the Dan Yuan artifact, to a standstill with just his fleshly body. Not only Lu Xiaoteng, but even Luo Qian an...Lu XiaTian held a piece of jade in his palm. It felt cold, even icy to the bone. The jade was incomplete and its carvings were barely visible. There was only one large ox skull marking.

At first, Lu Xia Tian thought this piece of jade with an unknown texture was just a useless ghost jade. However, the mark of a ox skull on it made him involuntarily associate it with the entrance to this Soul-Draining Land.
All are the skulls of water buffalo, so lifelike.
"This land of the fallen souls, even a powerful being like the Demon Lord can't enter. It's unknown what terrifying existence dwells within, causing even the Demon Lord to fear it." Lu Xiaotian stroked his chin, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
With a flick of his wrist, the azure jade remnant vanished. A flash of gray light followed, and in its place appeared a jade bone formation disc. The disc had nine points, each inscribed with intricate formations that were both mysterious and difficult to discern. Even with Lu Xiaotian's current cultivation level, he could only vaguely sense the formidable power of this array, encompassing almost an entire world within it.
With Lu XiaTian's mastery of formations, based on this incomplete formation pattern, he faintly felt that two key points corresponded to the entrance of this Netherworld, the two giant ox-skull gates.
“If that’s really the case, then the person who set up this grand formation is truly beyond comprehension.” Lu Xiaoteng put away the jade bone formation disk and let out a sigh of relief. If it was indeed a formation, the two known key points were in the desolate Ghost Domain of Yehuo Plain within the chaotic demon domain and here in this Netherworld Corpse Land. Such a grand formation, with such powerful means, even if Lu Xiaoteng thought about it carefully with his current cultivation level, he couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.
The skull the Demon Lord is looking for is also here. No matter what, let's explore this place first.
Lu Xia Tian was deep in thought. Suddenly, his brow raised, "These two old acquaintances are here too. It seems that the Zhūfó Buddhist Sect has also noticed the Demon Lord's actions."
Lu Xiaottian pondered this in his heart. Back then, he had gone to retrieve the Buddha Sect treasure for Li Danwang. Although the treasure later lost its effect, Lu Xiaottian still relied on the Town Demon Pagoda to save a pair of demon infants for him.
Having dealt with the Buddhist sect before, their appearance here now is no coincidence. Especially given Lu Xia Tian's sensed aura, it was Ming Yi and Ming E who came to this land of lost souls.
It seems that this old acquaintance's last trip to the Yaozu marketplace was no coincidence. They came to this Mingmo corpse land, most likely because of the pair of demon infants he rescued before. Things he doesn't know, Ming Yi and Ming E might know. Whether they are willing to tell him is another matter altogether.
Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment. Right now, he had no clue where to find the skull he needed for the Demon Lord. He could only wander aimlessly in this Land of Lost Souls. Perhaps by following Ming Yi and Ming E, he might uncover some things he didn't know about.

Lu Xia tian glanced at the Shadow Scorpion King again, wondering if the Demon Lord had instructed him before departure. Looking at it this way, even if there was, the Shadow Scorpion King would definitely not tell him in detail.
Lu Xia Tian pressed his forehead. Feeling like a puppet on strings, being commanded around was truly unpleasant. Unfortunately, he had limited strength and against a powerful figure like the Demon Lord, he had no means to resist. All he could do was, after joining the game, constantly search for any possible chance of survival.
Ming Yi and Ming E both seemed to be in trouble. The void was deep, and the sound of bone bells ringing echoed through it. That sound made people drowsy just by hearing it, and this drowsiness was getting stronger and stronger. It was clear that the two sides were fighting fiercely and getting closer and closer.
Lu Xia Tian glanced at the side of the Shadow Scorpion King. The other party had also noticed and was looking this way.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, it seems that other outsiders have entered this Soul-Devouring Land," said the Shadow Scorpion King. At the same time, the Shadow Scorpion King had a great deal of doubt in his heart. The aura of the person who made the move was different from Lu Xiaottian's, but if one were to delve deeper, it originated from the same source. They were all the methods of that bald donkey gang from the Buddhist sect."
They had just arrived when they encountered another group of Buddhist practitioners, making the Shadow Scorpion King suspicious. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on. He blamed the Four-winged Mantis for being arrogant and reckless, thinking he could easily handle Lu Xia Tian, only to end up defeated. Lu Xia Tian, on the other hand, seemed to have suffered no losses. Although the Four-winged Mantis was arrogant, his foundation was solid and there was nothing to worry about.
As for Lu Xia Tian in front of him, he had already defied the Demon Lord once, so there would naturally be a second time. Compared to that, the Four-Winged Praying Mantis was still more reliable.
“Yes, it seems like a high monk from the Zhufo Sect after all.” Lu Xiaoteng nodded.
“The Buddha Sect of the Devouring Pearl and the Demon Lord are mortal enemies. Appearing here, they must be causing trouble. We might as well take this opportunity to eliminate them. What do you think, Brother Lu” The Shadow Scorpion King probed cautiously.
“Our first priority is to complete the task assigned by the Demon Lord. As for whether or not to kill two members of the Buddha Sect, it's of little importance. If it doesn't hinder our plans, we can proceed as we see fit later.”
Lu Xiaitian shook his head. He had fought both Ming Yi and Ming'e before. Ming Yi hadn't been a cultivator for very long, as for Ming'e, he was just a mere Nascent Soul mid-stage who dared to enter this place. Moreover, the current battle had caused quite a stir, and as a high monk of the Buddhist sect, Ming'e must have something up his sleeve.
Both parties had no grievances against each other, Lu Xia Tian didn't want to easily make a move against these two.
"What you said, Daoist Lu, is not without reason. I seem to have my priorities mixed up." The Shadow Scorpion King smiled, but his heart was greatly on guard against Lu Xiaoteng. He couldn't openly confront Lu Xiaoteng, though, because if they truly fought, he would still be unmatched in the Celestial Ascension Hall...

He is not an opponent for a human cultivator.
“If the Demon Lord has no other instructions, perhaps these two Buddhist cultivators know more. I met these two Buddhist cultivators before in the chaotic demon domain. Later, I'll go and have a look. Since they also came to the Soul-Staining Land, they are probably here to disrupt the Demon Lord's plans. If we can use these monks to find out the location of what the Demon Lord needs, it will save us a lot of effort.” Lu Xiaodao said.
"Well then," the Shadow Scorpion King nodded, but inwardly he snorted. Judging by the current situation, those two Buddhist monks and the ghost seemed to be getting the worse of it in their fight. Lu Xiaoteng, on the other hand, had conveniently found a reason to save people. Whether they were truly trying to help or just playing nice was hard to say.

In short, the Shadow Scorpion King's vigilance towards Lu Xia Tian had reached its peak. He thought to himself that the Demon Lord’s mission this time was probably going to be a bust. However, it was alright; at least he had come to the Soul Chasm once. Compared to before, he had gained much more experience.od; some burrowed from the outside inward, while those that had entered the body devoured from the inside out.Before long, these skeletons first to collapse turned into ghastly white bones, stripped o...
