Qiurong Wanxue took them to several ferries, but all of these boats were either already reserved or taken by others

Each boat had a handler, but the strange thing that surprised the group of Peng Zhuang was that these handlers were different frohosts back at Necropolis The handlers had a body that exuded a weak blood energy

The youths were also quite scared as they looked at these handlers since they dressed like mummies who just came out of a toy, they caused others to shiver

“Are these handlers ghosts or people?” Peng Zhuang had to ask

“No one knows The handlers are always here to row the boats since they are the only ones capable of using these ferries”

The disciples noticed the faint blood energy on the handlers’ bodies and curiously asked: “Are they just like Necropolis’ ghosts? Can they not leave Necropolis either?”

“Not necessarily” Li Qiye, as behaving quite well and didn’t talk a lot, send claims that a handler left this place and achieved invincibility”

“Left Necropolis?” Another disciple asked with surprise: “Is that true?”

Qiurong Wanxue looked at Li Qiye and said: “This is only a legend The person is the patriarch of the Nether Crossing Swaend”

Peng Zhuang slapped his thigh and said: “I have heard of this legend!” He then excitedly continued: “He is I Du! It was said that he caht have been a handler” 2

“Yes, it is I Wanxue added: “However, it’s only a ru Swamp had never accepted this hypothesis Moreover, the handlers cannot leave this place Such a thing is unheard of!”

I Du was the emperor before I his origin, but there were two that were the host of the Underworld River, and the other was that he cahtsea at Necropolis

For the second theory, it was said that after he obtained a great fortune, he was able to return to life and finally escaped Nightsea and Necropolis to becoardless of whether he cahtsea, they were just unproven rue, the Nether Crossing Swaenerations later on believed that I Du caed by people froroup of Li Qiye to find ferries, but they were always late and had their ferry taken by others

Qiurong Wanxue pondered for aat Li Qiye to say: “Fellow Daoist Li, please watch over theetic youth like Peng Zhuang, the well-behaved Li Qiye wasWanxue tee

“Don’t worry, ait here until you return” Li Qiye answered with a s so Wanxue looked at Li Qiye then cautioned the group of Peng Zhuang before quickly leaving to find a ferry

After she left, Li Qiye i, what do you think the gigantic hand that night was?”

Another disciple said with a smile: “Brother Li seems to be really interested in this s towards Li Qiye, and to the contrary, quite liked him

Li Qiye calht suddenly cahtened antic hand fro”

The five disciples became excited and quickly discussed: “I nearly lost ht after that the chief and the elders all went to the ancestral ground since they thought it was a huge deal”

“Right when the sky turned dark, I really did see a gigantic hand Although it was fleeting, I a”

In fact, very few believed Peng Zhuang since he was the only one who saw it At that ti towards the Prireat interest: “What kind of gigantic hand was it?”

Peng Zhuang thought about it carefully before answering: “He hand It seemed as if it was its own separate heaven and earth It was like the stars in the sky or another world entirely It had stars, a antic hand replaced our own sky”

1 It looks like the author/speakers are using ghosts and sentieably, so just be aware of that All of these ghosts/senti Du is Nether Crossing; it should give the feel of a ferry someone across the River Styx for example, or the Yellow River in Asian myths
