After Shen Luo and the man in green walked along the River Styx for more than ten miles, they came towards a group of ghost soldiers, led by a demon man with a purple face.
When the man in green saw someone coming, he was happy at first, but then a little disappointed. He knew very well that a demon in the middle stage of True Immortal could not do anything to Shen Luo.
"Qinglu, who were fighting upstream just now?" The demon man asked rudely when he saw this.
"It was that idiot Stone Corpse Ghost. Seeing that I had attracted a lot of dead souls, he wanted to snatch them away for consumption. I beat him up and chased him away." Qing Yi replied according to Shen Luo's instructions.
“Wild dogs fighting for food… Let me tell you, those guys in Purgatory can’t hold on any longer and are eager to escape. Lord Black Mountain has already gone to support them. You guys better patrol the Styx well, otherwise if anything goes wrong, you’ll suffer the consequences.” The demon man said with some disdain upon hearing this.
"Yes, sir." The man in blue bowed his head, clasped his fists, and gritted his teeth.
Seeing this, the demon man ignored him and continued upstream with a group of ghost soldiers.
Seeing them walking away, Qing Lu said nothing and continued to lead a large number of ghosts to the underworld.
About half an hour later, the water flow in front gradually slowed down, but the water of the Styx became more and more turbid. Shen Luo looked into the distance among the ghosts and saw a large lake appearing in front of the river.
There is a yellow-brown vortex in the center of the lake, with yellow water rolling inside and waves of strong spiritual power coming from it.
"We have arrived at Huangquan..."
While he was wondering, he heard Qing Lu say, "Sir, the haunted house next to Huangquan is the residence of the Black Mountain Old Demon. He was beaten by that group of people before and should have been recuperating in the mansion. However, it seems that he has been transferred away recently."
"You don't have to tell me this, I've already heard it before. However, to be on the safe side, you should go to his mansion to ask for a meeting first, and I need to confirm it again." Shen Luo nodded and said.
"My lord, I am not familiar with the Black Mountain Old Demon, and we don't have a direct relationship with him. If I go there rashly, I'm afraid..." Qing Lu hesitated after hearing this.
"Isn't he not in the mansion right now? He is unwilling to go and verify it. Is there something fishy going on?" Shen Luo's tone gradually became colder.
"I dare not, Immortal, rest assured, I would never dare to cheat. Please wait a moment, I will go and verify it." Qing Lu said immediately.
"No hurry, I'll go with you." Shen Luo said, breaking away from the ghosts and following Qing Lu.
"Yes." Qing Lu cursed in his heart but did not dare to say anything rashly.
He had no choice but to wave his hand and drive all the ghosts away to the underworld. He then took Shen Luo ashore and floated towards the haunted house by the lake.
The door of the haunted house was closed and there was no guard outside. Above the blood-red door, there were two white lanterns hanging with the words "Black Mountain" written on them, which looked eerie.
"Qinglu, the water ghost of the Styx, requests to see Lord Heishan." Qinglu came to the door and shouted loudly.
The mansion was silent and no one responded.
Qing Lu frowned slightly and shouted twice more. Then the blood-red door creaked and slowly opened.
A hunched old man walked out of the gate. His face was pale, wrinkled and looked dry.
