Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 87 Disturbance in the Netherworld

"What is this...."

Feeling a sudden emergence of negative energy near them, Jiang Chen and Liu Bang’s faces changed simultaneously. Clearly, they had recognized the origin of this energy.

Both men exchanged glances and exclaimed in unison, "Something’s gone wrong in the Netherworld."

Such pure negative energy, flowing up from underground, clearly came from the Netherworld.

But how could something go wrong in such an important place like the Netherworld? After all, there were quite a few Great Divine Transcendents residing there.

"Hee hee ...."

As the two were in doubt, ghostly howls suddenly echoed from the horizon, continuous and piercing, causing one’s ears to feel uncomfortable upon hearing them.

Although they could only hear and not see the source, just from the momentum of these ghostly howls, they could discern that the scale of the impending ghost problem was certainly not small.

"What?" Jiang Chen, quick to react, pulled back the curtain of the carriage and peered out.

With a quick thought, he employed his Divine Ability’s Insight, and instantly, everything within tens of thousands of miles around them appeared before Jiang Chen’s eyes.

Sss~~

Upon seeing the spectacle in front of him, Jiang Chen abruptly drew a cold breath.

What he saw were countless demons and ghosts, densely packed, accompanied by an overwhelming dark energy, creating a sight that inspired terror.

"Sss~~"

"The Netherworld must have been flipped over."

At this time, Liu Bang had also seen the terrifying sight of countless ghosts flooding the area, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

So many evil spirits and demons escaping from the Netherworld and flooding into the mortal realm. From the looks of it, it’s not just a minor problem in the Netherworld, it’s a major disaster.

Looking at this scene, it’s as if the Netherworld has been turned upside down.

...

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Jiang Chen, for taking my leave. With the sudden surge of ghosts, I must see what’s going on in the Netherworld to prevent an even greater calamity."

"Also, these myriads of ghosts invading the mortal realm will inevitably disturb the common people. I hope Your Majesty will return to Chang’an promptly to command troops to suppress these ghosts, and grant peace to the mortal realm."

After withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Chen said to Liu Bang.

If these escaped ghosts from the Netherworld were allowed to invade the mortal realm, it seemed inevitable that a great calamity was about to befall humanity.

Moreover, he didn’t know what had happened in the Netherworld that had caused so many evil spirits and demons to escape.

One must know, in the Netherworld, not only are ghosts suppressed, but also heinous demons and devils.

After being suppressed by Heaven Court, besides a few that were put into celestial prisons, most were sentenced to the eighteen layers of the underworld. If they were also allowed to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, no matter what, Jiang Chen had to go to the Netherworld once. Even if he couldn’t help much, it was still good to take a look.

"Brother Jiang, just go ahead. Rest assured the Great Han will be stable with this humble servant here," said Liu Bang, finally exhibiting some king-like demeanor.

Seeing Liu Bang agree, Jiang Chen gave a slight bow and transformed into a golden light, rushing towards the Netherworld. freeweɓnøvel.com

Although he was pressed for time, Jiang Chen didn’t use the method of passing through the nether to directly open a path to the Netherworld.

Instead, he spent a little more effort tracing back to the source of the ghost surge.

He planned to enter the Netherworld from here.

Firstly, he could clean up evil ghosts along the way. Secondly, he could see if there was a chance to block the passage.

Allowing ghosts from the Netherworld continuously flooding into the mortal realm was simply not an option!

Swoosh...

In only a few moments, Jiang Chen had travelled hundreds of thousands of miles and was not far from the source of the ghost surge.

Many ghosts along the way met their end at his hands.

They were just wandering spirits, and Jiang Chen didn’t need much effort to kill them. He simply activated his lifeblood energy, and the scorching Innate Sun Energy immediately turned them into ashes.

Sun energy was the nemesis of all Yin energy. Those ghosts encountering Jiang Chen were truly unlucky.

Protected by the Innate Sun Energy, Jiang Chen smoothly progressed on his journey. However, at one moment, he suddenly stopped.

Because, there was a village in front of Jiang Chen. A village composed of a hundred households.

At this time, it was noon, the usual mealtime. Each household was preparing their meals. Through the shadowy trees, Jiang Chen vaguely saw wisps of smoke rising from the village.

This was normal, as mealtime usually meant cooking, naturally resulting in smoke.

But in Jiang Chen’s perception, there wasn’t a trace of vitality in this village. It was eerily silent; even the sound of chickens or dogs could not be heard.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen also sensed a wisp of ghostly energy emanating from within the village.

It was noon, with smoke rising from meals being cooked—a picture of peace and stability. But life force was absent, instead the remnants of ghostly energy remained.

What did this indicate?

A bad premonition surfaced in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Without hesitating, Jiang Chen leapt into the village, flipping through all corners. After inspecting the entire village, what Jiang Chen saw were lifeless bodies.

They were old and young, male and female, all quietly lying on the ground, preserved in their last movements when they were still alive. Clearly, the disaster had come so abruptly that they had lost their lives before realizing the danger.

"Damn it!"

Clenching his fists, a strong desire to kill surged in Jiang Chen’s heart.

He already knew how these villagers died—they were killed by having their life force devoured by evil ghosts. Although these villagers didn’t suffer any pain before they died, their fate after death was unimaginably miserable.

Having devoured their life force, would the evil ghosts spare their souls? If they were that kind, they wouldn’t be called evil ghosts.

With a wave of his hands, Jiang Chen signaled magic to bury the bodies of the villagers, allowing them to rest in peace.

Then, with a sudden rise, Jiang Chen traced the lingering ghostly energy on the ground and continued forward.

He would make these evil ghosts pay in blood for what they did!

Jiang Chen was fast. Therefore, after a short while, he tracked down these evil ghosts.

The group of evil ghosts was now assaulting the next village, frantically absorbing the life force and souls of the villagers. When Jiang Chen arrived, this was the scene he witnessed.

In a blink of an eye, over half the villagers had fallen to their evil hands.

"Evil vermin, die!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was beside himself with rage. Without a second thought, he activated the Nine Tripods Divine Ability and hurled it forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

In an instant, the Nine Tripods manifested, forming a huge light curtain, firmly protecting the remaining villagers.

In spite of his anger, Jiang Chen maintained his composure, knowing that protecting the remaining villagers was of utmost importance, not slaying these evil ghosts.

Even if he was fully capable of handling it, without ensuring the safety of the villagers first, Jiang Chen could not take action against the ghosts.
