My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 795: Changes In Cuiyun Palace

“So, where are we going?” In the darkness of the night, Qin Feng and his companions sped along.

Meng Shuang replied, “We’re heading to the Cuiyun Palace. That’s where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva resides. I learned that after Zhao Wenhao left the Negate Bridge, he went there. He probably intends to use the divine beast under Bodhisattva’s command, Di Ting, to track your whereabouts. We can wait outside the palace and try to persuade him.”

“Are you sure we can trust this Zhao Wenhao? What if he’s in cahoots with Shentu? Won’t we be walking into a trap?” Qin Feng asked.

Meng Shuang nodded, “There is indeed a risk, but until Ghost Lord returns, he’s the only one I can think of to approach. He’s quite wise and reasonable.”

“When Shentu questioned Ghost Emperor Qin, the other Ghost Emperors remained silent, but he spoke up. When you meet him, take out the bone token; the chances of persuading him should be high.”

“Why not go find Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi? From your previous descriptions, it seems he holds a high position in the Netherworld, second only to Ghost Lord. And from your tone, you seem very convinced of him.”

Meng Shuang paused before expressing her doubts, “He was actually the first person I thought of, but Ghost Lord gave the bone token to you, not to Lord Zhou Qi. It made me feel something was off.”

“And despite Shentu’s misconduct after Ghost Lord’s departure, Lord Zhou Qi turned a blind eye, showing no intention to stop him. This aspect of Lord Zhou Qi makes me feel somewhat unfamiliar.”

“Are you implying that Shentu might not be the mastermind behind everything, and that it might be Zhou Qi?” Qin Feng asked solemnly.

Meng Shuang’s expression turned grave, but she didn’t answer. It was just speculation, without any evidence. She couldn’t easily draw conclusions.

Tubo, who had been listening, was already trembling with fear. As a seasoned inhabitant of the Netherworld, it was well-informed about the ins and outs of the place.

Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi, the right-hand man of Ghost Lord, has always been among the top three in terms of strength in the Netherworld!

Even now, shortly after Ghost Lord’s return, many people are claiming that Zhou Qi’s strength has surpassed Ghost Lord’s!

If such a figure was the mastermind behind the chaos in the Netherworld, wouldn’t it be inevitably overturned?

‘Could it be that Lord Shentu is planning to abandon this realm?’ Tubo couldn’t help but wonder.

Meng Shuang’s silence furrowed Qin Feng’s brows. For the rest of the journey, the three traveled in silence.

As the surrounding mountains came into view, a faint Buddha light hung in the night sky, and the sound of gentle Buddhist chants filled the air. They were nearing the Cuiyun Palace.

Outside the Cuiyun Palace, Zhao Wenhao waited quietly, having been here for some time.

Before him stood a stone Buddha, about three zhang in length and six zhang in height, seated cross-legged.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came from the Buddha Region of Immortal Realm. When he first arrived in the Netherworld with his great aspiration, his status was extraordinary. Even the Ghost Lord treated him with respect.

To see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one needed to inform the stone Buddha in front. When the stone Buddha opened its eyes, one could enter the Buddha Mountain and proceed to the Cuiyun Palace.

However, today was different. Zhao Wenhao had waited for a long time, but the stone Buddha showed no response.

“Could it be that the Bodhisattva is not in the Cuiyun Palace? But then, what’s with the Buddha light on the mountaintop?” Zhao Wenhao frowned.

Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the Cuiyun Palace, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Even Zhao Wenhao, strong as he was, was shaken out hundreds of zhang away by this aura!

“What’s going on?” The three who had been speeding through the night felt the approaching wave of energy and were startled.

They quickly stopped and mobilized their internal energy to resist.

When the energy wave passed by them, they looked ahead again.

On the mountain where the Cuiyun Palace was located, dense death energy clashed with golden Buddha light, seeming to divide the heavens and earth in two.

Meng Shuang exclaimed, “Is someone actually fighting with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?”

It was well known that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s strength was unfathomable. He had collaborated with Ghost Lord in the past to seal countless monsters with the golden bowl, demonstrating his extraordinary abilities.

Moreover, the powerful soul giant from years ago, which had been rampant in the Netherworld, was sealed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva alone!

It could be said without exaggeration that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s strength was comparable to that of Ghost Lord at her peak.

But at this juncture, who had the ability to compete with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

“Let’s go take a look,” Meng Shuang said, hastening her pace.

Qin Feng and Tubo hurried to catch up. As they approached the Buddha Mountain, a figure appeared out of thin air, blocking their path – it was Zhao Wenhao!

Zhao Wenhao glanced at the three of them, but his gaze lingered on Qin Feng, full of meaning.

With his keen eyesight, he naturally recognized Qin Feng as the intruder who crossed the rift, but he didn’t attack them.

Because at this moment, he was more concerned about what had happened inside the Cuiyun Palace.

Meng Shuang hurriedly asked, “What’s going on here?”

Zhao Wenhao shook his head, “I came here to see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and waited outside the stone Buddha for a long time. The situation I observed is the same as what you see.”

“Why didn’t you enter the Buddha Mountain? With such a situation in the Netherworld, both you and I should know that any mishap with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is unacceptable!” Meng Shuang’s expression was anxious.

“There’s a barrier outside the Buddha Mountain that I can’t break through with my strength,” Zhao Wenhao replied truthfully.

“Even you can’t?” Meng Shuang exclaimed in surprise.

The disturbances inside the Buddha Mountain continued one after another, but the aftershocks were easily blocked by Zhao Wenhao’s barrier.

Qin Feng approached the stone Buddha and reached out to touch it, confirming that a barrier blocked the way to the Cuiyun Palace.

“Could this be the barrier guarding the Buddha Mountain?” Meng Shuang speculated.

Qin Feng sensed a strange fluctuation and furrowed his brow.

He leaped into the air and activated his Dual Pupil Ability to observe the surroundings. Then he landed again and said slowly, “It’s not a barrier, but rather a formation set up by opponents. The traces are new, and the purpose is to isolate this mountain, preventing people inside from coming out and people outside from entering.”

“Formation?” Zhao Wenhao frowned. The fact that someone could set up such a large-scale formation under the nose of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva indicated that the enemy was extraordinary.

“Since you can tell this is a formation, is there a way to break it?” Zhao Wenhao asked.

Qin Feng replied without hesitation, “I can deduce the core of the formation. Once we break the core, we can dispel the formation. But this formation is extremely complex, and I’ll need some time.”

As he spoke, Qin Feng focused his mind, carefully observing the Buddha Mountain with his spiritual sense to understand the formation and begin reverse engineering it.

Meanwhile, the commotion inside the Buddha Mountain grew louder, accompanied by roars and howls.
