Meanwhile, in another mine.
The Head Steward, the Deputy Steward, and a group of slaves were setting up one complicated array after another in the entire mine.
Every single one of them was a formation filled with spatial energy.
There were more than 100,000 of them!
When the Head Steward received the news, he was delighted. "The multi-colored ancient array is a success. Let's retreat to the other side of the ancient cave!"
The Deputy Steward nodded. "Before we leave, check the entrance and exit of the mine one last time to see if it's sealed tightly and if all the arrays are activated."
After making sure that everything was in order, they followed the cave that Old Jin and the others had dug and arrived at the abandoned mine.
The group finally met up.
"Head Steward, we can start now." The Deputy Steward's eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement. "After waiting for so many years, we can finally start."
The Head Steward looked hesitant as he asked the traitor army that came down from the top of the abandoned mine.
"Did you really search the Sect Leader's territory? Is there no one in his thatched hut?" The Head Steward asked.
The Hall Master of the Hall of Affairs was certain. "We tried our best to break the array around the thatched hut, but there was nothing inside."
That was because all the skeletons inside had been taken away by Yu Xiang Wan. Naturally, there would be nothing inside.
The Deputy Steward's eyes glinted. "All these years, I can't tell what that old thing Sect Leader is thinking about."
Such a big thing happened in the sect, and he actually did not show up?
If he did not know about it when the rebellion happened, then so be it.
But a year had passed. Was he blind? How could he not know about it?
But he did not show up, and it made them feel uneasy.
The Head Steward stroked his beard. "We've spent so much time and took such a huge risk to finally reach the last step. No matter where that old thing is, there's no reason to stop."
The Deputy Steward nodded.
The plan that they had been planning for hundreds of years was finally about to begin.
The Head Steward and the Deputy Steward walked to the multi-colored ancient array together. With their powerful Profound Path Energy, they successfully activated the multi-colored ancient array.
Puff, puff —
The entire ancient array started to emit a loud sound.
A series of rotating ripples were emitted from the ancient formation.
The ripples then evolved into a powerful suction force.
Suddenly, a wisp of Nine Nether Emerald Flame was drawn back from the other end of the hole, hovering above the colorful ancient formation.
Seeing that, the Great Steward and the rest of the people retreated frantically. They only stopped when they reached where Su Yu and the others were.
At this moment, the second wisp of Nine Secluded Azure Flame was drawn out, followed by the third, the fourth …
Finally, a large mass of Nine Serenities Emerald Flame appeared above the colorful ancient formation.
Once such a large amount of Nine Serenities Jade Flame went out of control and burned the entire abandoned mine, all of them would be doomed.
Fortunately, the strength of the multicolored ancient formation was strong, and it firmly controlled the restless ball of Nine Hell Jadeflame.
Moreover, it was slowly and steadily transmitted to the previously excavated cave, arriving at another mine.
Countless teleportation portals in the other mine had already been activated.
The moment the Nine Secret Emerald Flame entered the mine, it was immediately teleported away by the tens of thousands of teleportation arrays.
Outside the Greater One Gate, not far away.
A deer was leisurely drinking water by the river.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space above its head, and a wisp of Nine Serenities Emerald Flame fell from it without warning, instantly killing the deer on the spot, causing its soul to scatter and scatter.
The same scene, with the Greater One Gate as the center, continued to play out.
In the abandoned mine, wisp after wisp of Nine Serenities Emerald Flame, just like before, was drawn out in an unending stream, and then transmitted to another mine through the colorful ancient formation.
Then, the Nine Serenities Emerald Flame was transmitted to the outside of the sect through the teleportation array in the other mine.
In this way, as long as they persevered, there was no need to worry about the Nine Serenities Emerald Emerald Flame in the Netherworld Realm.
One month passed.
Sure enough, the emerald light emitted by the Netherworld Realm had clearly become dimmer!
Three months passed, and the emerald light had become much dimmer.
When half a year passed, the emerald light was so weak that it could no longer be seen.
Yu Xiang Wan secretly took a breath. "They really dared to think that they actually succeeded!"
Hall Master Miaoxiang was also incomparably shocked. The Netherworld Realm had actually been sucked dry?
Of course, the price they had to pay was that all living beings in the Greater One Gate were plunged into misery and suffering.
All living beings were killed by the Nine Serenities Emerald Flame, which appeared at any time and place.
Many people who were lucky enough to escape from the Greater One Gate were brutally killed by the Nine Serenities Emerald Flame because they didn't leave the range of the Greater One Gate in time.
The whole Greater One Gate was reduced to a land of absolute death!
One year later.
The colorful ancient formation was no longer able to draw out even a wisp of Nine Serenities Emerald Flame from the other end of the hole.
Only then did the head manager and the second manager gradually stop pouring profound energy into the colorful ancient formation.
After a whole year and a half, they had been continuously pouring profound energy into the formation. One could well imagine how much energy they had consumed.
The two of them sat cross-legged, extremely weak, and tried to recover the profound energy they had consumed.
"You guys send a group of slaves to the Netherworld Realm to scout," the head manager ordered the golden-armored hall master.
A ruthless glint flashed through the eyes of the golden-armored hall master.
After all, the Netherworld Realm was full of unknowns. The two managers and the middle-level members of the sect naturally didn't want to put themselves in danger.
The slaves who had surrendered to them were the best stones to ask for guidance.
"You, and the rest of you, go down immediately!" The golden-armored hall master selected ten people, and hung a projection treasure on each of them.
After they entered, the projection magic treasure would project everything they saw to this place.
Only after confirming that it was safe would they choose to go in.
The ten slaves were angry, but didn't dare to say anything. They could only brace themselves and enter the Netherworld Realm.
Su Yu, Yu Xiangwan, and the others secretly held their breaths, their eyes filled with curiosity.
The legendary Netherworld Realm was finally going to reveal itself!
Time passed bit by bit.
Not long after the group of people entered the Netherworld Realm, an image was transmitted.
In their imagination, the Netherworld Realm should be a vicious, hellish place.
However, the image that was projected in front of them caused everyone to gasp in surprise.
In the image, there were countless cities on an incomparably spacious plain.
Those cities were well preserved, and there wasn't even the slightest bit of damage. It was as if there were people living in them.
However, there was nothing in the city. There wasn't a single living thing in it.
There was only the howling of the wind on the plain.
At the same time, the plain was full of emerald green crystals that were emitting a dazzling radiance.
"Look, a Fourth Grade Netherworld Crystal!" Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.
It turned out that the ten slaves had found a huge Fourth Grade Netherworld Crystal that was casually embedded in the ground.
According to preliminary estimates, it was at least 500 kilograms.
Just this Netherworld Crystal alone was worth at least 320,000 Time Crystals!
In the mine, everyone who had witnessed everything was breathing rapidly, their eyes red.
The chief manager couldn't help but lick his lips as he recovered.
It was too shocking!
A Fourth Grade Netherworld Crystal was casually placed on the side of the road, and this was only the edge of the Netherworld Realm. If they went deeper, there would surely be even more shocking things.
Soon after, the ten people entered the city.
However, what made them feel strange, and they didn't dare to enter again, was that in this deathly silent city, there was smoke rising in spirals!
In some of the houses of the residents, there was still firewood burning.
The pot was steaming, and the fragrance of rice assailed their nostrils.
In the restaurant, the food on the table was still hot, and so was the wine.
Even the feces of the cows on the side of the road were still emitting steam.
However, there wasn't a single person, not a single living thing.
It was as if all living beings had mysteriously disappeared without a trace just a moment ago.
As a martial artist, and a powerhouse of the Path Master level at that, no one should believe in ghosts.
Ghosts were also a type of living thing.
But at this time, everyone — including the people in the mine — felt their hair stand on end.
"Is it possible that this place is really the Netherworld Realm? A world of the dead? "The second manager's mind trembled, and he felt an indescribable fear.
Everything before their eyes was too unimaginable, and they couldn't explain it.
The ten slaves didn't dare to enter the city again, and their scalps went numb as they retreated, heading toward another city.
The result was the same!
Everything in the city remained the same as before, as if there were people living, eating, and walking around just now.
After several cities were like this, the ten slaves finally couldn't bear the strange world any longer, and they all ran back.
Fortunately, although they didn't enter the city, they could casually pick up the Netherworld Crystals on the side of the road.
Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Stage Netherworld Crystals were extremely rare in the outside world.
But in the Netherworld Realm, they could be casually picked up like stones on the ground.
The ten of them brought back a whole five thousand kilograms of Netherworld Crystals.
And they didn't even look for them on purpose; they were just picking them up along the way.
If they were to look for them seriously, the number of Netherworld Crystals they could find would be astronomical.
At this time, everyone was excited.
Although the Netherworld Realm was strange and frightening, the ten slaves were enough to prove that it wasn't dangerous.
The main manager and the second manager were in high spirits, and didn't hesitate to swallow the medicinal pills they had prepared beforehand to replenish their profound energy.
Hopefully, they would recover soon.
The traitors were also eager to get into action.
Once the two managers recovered, they would step into the unimaginably rich Netherworld Realm and excavate the wealth that they would never be able to use in their entire lives.
But just as everyone was waiting …
The sound of calm footsteps echoed from the entrance of the abandoned mine.
The golden-armored Hall Leader casually looked behind him, and immediately stiffened, unable to move.
"Golden Armor, why are you so suspicious? Don't scare me! " Old Jin frowned, dissatisfied. He still hadn't recovered from the strange Netherworld Realm, and he couldn't be scared.
But when he saw that the golden armor wasn't reacting, he couldn't help but curiously look behind him.
But when he looked back, Old Jin also stiffened, unable to move.
Tap, tap …
The footsteps were very slow, but very powerful, and they were getting clearer and clearer in everyone's minds.
Yes, they weren't getting clearer and clearer.
Instead, they were echoing in their minds.
Everyone felt that there was something wrong, and looked behind them.
But when they looked back, they all stiffened, unable to move.
