The underground palace is deep, and there is no trace of it.
On the other side, Concubine Qing determined that Ye Lingyue and the others could not enter the underground palace, so she went to check the situation of the worms.
Inside and outside the Xia Palace, it was already in chaos.
Nan Shishi, Chang Wu and others did not expect that the power of the underworld worm would be so amazing.
"Deputy sect master, those ghost worms are too powerful, let's withdraw."
Steward Song was terrified to see his disciples being devoured by the worms one by one.
"Teacher, let's withdraw too. I'm afraid the boy and the queen mother are gone forever."
Monk Wunu was still carrying Emperor Xia on his back, and they had no way to deal with those ghost worms.
"Amitabha, let's go."
Nan Shishi glanced at the Xia Palace, but Ye Lingyue and the others were still nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the walls of the Summer Palace, there are ghost worms everywhere.
The worm kept climbing, up and down, Ye Fangshi and the Queen Mother, not to mention looking for the underground palace, it would be very difficult to leave safely.
"It's too easy to think about leaving. If I leave Emperor Xia's body behind, I can still consider keeping you alive."
Concubine Qing's soul lingered and reappeared.
She stared at Emperor Xia's body.
Although it has been confirmed, Xia Houqi's soul is no longer in the body.
But the physical body must be taken down.
The coffin of the underworld, which is very useful for the expansion of the power of the Dark Territory, is inside Xia Houqi's body.
Concubine Qing lost her body in order to inspire the ghost worms, but if she could bring it back to the ghost coffin, it would be considered a great achievement.
She was unwilling to let Nan Shishi and others take Emperor Xia away.
"Bitch, you don't want to take Emperor Xia away."
Monk Wunu glared at Concubine Qing angrily, while protecting Emperor Xia.
"Wu Nu, don't argue with her. She has no body, and her soul is also very weak. She is useless. Let's go."
Nan Shishi saw Concubine Qing's flaw at a glance, and Concubine Qing's complexion changed.
She is just an ordinary warrior in the human world, unlike Ye Lingyue and those alchemists who practice spiritual power, her soul is indeed very ordinary.
In the state of the soul, she can't even take the initiative to attack.
"Old monk, if you think this is the case, I can't stop you, but don't forget, these ghost worms are my best subordinates."
Concubine Qing whistled softly.
Because it was activated with the blood of Concubine Qing's corpse, the underworld worm now obeys Concubine Qing's orders.
As if they had received an order, those ghost worms rushed towards Wunu Monk and Nan Shishi.
"Protect Emperor Xia and go first, here I will be the queen."
Nan Shishi's face was serious.
"Headmaster, you take Emperor Xia with you, and I will come to the rear."
The Wunu monk didn't do it either.
He was ordered to protect the head teacher, how could he let the head teacher die here.
The two refused to give in to each other.
"Don't argue with anyone, let's stay together."
Concubine Qing sneered.
The ghost worm had already flapped its wings, but when the ghost worm was close to the two Wunu monks, it suddenly paused and stopped moving forward.
"Um?"
Concubine Qing was startled.
Nan Shishi and Monk Wunu were also taken aback subconsciously, and they all looked behind Monk Wunu.
Monk Wunu carried Emperor Xia on his back.
Emperor Xia lost his soul, and has been silent for a while, but just now, Nan Shishi and others noticed that Emperor Xia had quietly changed.
Pieces of dark patterns appeared on Emperor Xia's skin, and those dark patterns were much deeper than the dark patterns on the palace walls and the corpse soldiers earlier.
Perhaps it was because of those ghost patterns that none of the ghost insects dared to approach.
This actually protected Nan Shishi and Monk Wunu invisibly.
"Damn it, Xia Houqi, even at this time, you are still against me."
Concubine Qing gritted her teeth angrily.
She almost forgot that Xia Houqi had a dark coffin in his body.
The coffin of the underworld has a special meaning for both the underworld pattern and the underworld worm.
As long as Xia Houqi is around, the ghost worm will avoid the coffin and dare not hurt Xia Houqi's body.
"Everyone, come here."
Nan Shishi was also vigilant, and when he discovered that Emperor Xia's physical body had the function of defending against ghost insects, he called out to everyone in time.
Chang Wu and the others had already been cornered by the Nether Worm, and when they saw that Xia Houqi's physical body had the effect of driving the Nether Worm back, they leaned over one after another as if they had seen straws.
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. I don't believe that Xia Houqi's body can protect you for a lifetime. After tonight, Xia Houqi's body will be completely swallowed by the coffin of the underworld. At that time, you will all die together."
Concubine Qing gritted her teeth.
It takes seventy-seven forty-nine days for the coffin to enter the body before it can completely devour the body of the real dragon.
It happened to be forty-eight days since Xiahou Qiming entered the coffin.
In order for the Nether Coffin to fully mature, the best situation is to devour the body and soul of the real dragon at the same time.
However, the whereabouts of Xiahouqi's soul is unknown now. Under such circumstances, Concubine Qing can only make the next best thing, let Xiahouqi's body be swallowed by the dark coffin, and then try to find Xiahouqi's soul, so that she can carry her with her. Underworld coffin, go to join the black cavalry.
Concubine Qing simply didn't do it again, she roared again, and after getting the order, all the crawling ghosts gathered outside the gate of the Xia Palace.
The sky and the ground of the Xia Palace are densely packed, full of ghosts.
These ghosts blocked the way of Nan Shishi and others, and also stopped the Tianmen disciples.
There is no way for everyone to retreat, they can only curl up in a relatively safe small area.
As long as midnight passed and Xia Houqi's body was swallowed by the coffin of the underworld, the group of people in front of him would all be on his plate.
"Teacher, what that woman said is not true, is it? Emperor Xia will be swallowed after midnight?"
Monk Wunu was still carrying Emperor Xia on his back, and now he felt a chill down his spine, and looked at Emperor Xia from time to time, fearing that some monster would suddenly climb out of his body.
"Whether it's true or not, we can only find out after midnight."
Nan Shishi sighed.
Whether this catastrophe can be resolved or not can only be resigned to fate now.
Outside the summer palace, a tug-of-war between life and death continued.
In the summer palace, Ye Lingyue and the queen mother have already entered the underground palace.
The underground palace is located directly below Xiayang Palace. After having the Ming pattern, the two got the acquiescence of the underground palace and went down all the way.
The tunnel was pitch black, Ye Lingyue raised her hand, and a ball of flame suddenly burst out.
At the end of the tunnel is an ancestral hall.
It seems that it is just a very ordinary ancestral hall. Compared with the Ye family's ancestral hall, the identities of the people displayed here are more prominent. This is an imperial ancestral hall.
Inside, there are a large number of spiritual cards on display, each of which is the former emperor of Great Xia.
In addition, the ancestral hall is very empty. In the middle of the ancestral hall is the place where Xia Houqi discovered the ancient coffin.
As for what Ye Lingyue was looking for, the clues about Ming Wen and the ancient coffin did not appear.
"These are the spirit cards of the great Xia ancestors."
The Queen Mother explained.
Ye Lingyue swept her eyes and landed on the front of the spirit card, where one of the spirit cards was empty.
