"Oh? It's actually true. During the previous transaction, Shi Sha's senses were right. This Netherworld River Wanderer's power is not strong. When the treasured mirror revealed the truth, not only is he not strong, but he is also very weak. " A purple-skinned scorpion man seemed to have four arms, but only the pair with pincers was his. The other two were transplanted from two experts. His voice was deliberately cold, like the sound of glass shattering in the middle of the night.
Shi Sha snorted coldly. He was a member of the Corpse Tribe who was born with the ability to control corpses. He had a flat face without a nose, but he had two mouths, one red and one black. The red lips were used to talk to people, while the black one … Obviously, like the purple scorpion man's arms, his second mouth was not naturally grown. At this moment, the red lips opened, and the ear-piercing sound of a hacksaw cutting against an iron plate rang out. "Only living creatures make mistakes, but I never make mistakes."
Zi Xie's deep pupils contracted slightly. They were the 12 Deputy Suzerains of the Shadow Demon Faction, but they did not get along well with each other. However, no matter what, they were still one.
The Shadow Demon Faction was once powerful and was a member of the Heaven. However, after an unprecedented battle, the Shadow Demon Faction had suffered heavy losses and lost all the glory they once had. They were banished to the Netherworld and continuously degenerated. Now, although they had a powerful force in the underground world, compared to the glory they once had in the Heaven, they could not even be compared to wild beasts that were struggling at death's door!
However, there was an antidote to this situation — someone was trading a large number of red spider lilies!
The Shadow Demon Faction's need for the red spider lilies far exceeded that of anyone else. The Shadow Demon Dark God Technique, the strongest technique of the Shadow Demon Faction that had allowed them to traverse the Heaven and Earth, required a large number of red spider lilies to activate the Gu Awakening Technique!
They did not just want the red spider lilies! They wanted that person's secret!
The Shadow Demon Faction had once possessed the ability to walk on the Netherworld River. This was an absolute secret passed down by the Suzerain. However, after that battle, this secret was lost along with the death of the previous Suzerain.
"From the mirror, he probably does not even have a Void Core."
"He relied on that boat and that coffin to walk on the Netherworld River."
"Netherworld River Walker, hiss, I have to think of a way to target him and obtain his secrets."
"We can't get close to the River Styx. Judging from how he controls the mist, he definitely won't take the risk to come out."
"We can set up a trap and test it out."
River Styx …
The small boat slowly floated on it. The serene and deep Netherworld River was as calm as a sleeping lady. The murmuring flow was like the breathing of a virgin. However, this was only limited to the surroundings of the small boat. A hundred meters away, the rumbling wails of the Netherworld accompanied the violent Netherworld River as it rolled forward.
He just drank some water and ate a biscuit calmly. The food in the divine territory really made him reminisce about his time on Earth. It was the same biscuit, but there were always many different types on Earth. Although not all of them were to his liking, it made him yearn for them. He did not like staying on the island as it was too boring. Drifting and drifting along the coast gave him a sense of novelty. Of course, he did not know that he would be monitored by people with ulterior motives.
There were also pill techniques, techniques, and some other things, but most of them were useless. Mu Zi used them to store them for Aiolos and Wang Zhong in the future. He was like a tireless worker ant. When he thought of this, he felt very happy.
The small boat had changed, and a deep green color had spread from the bottom of the boat. Under the influence of the Netherworld River, it had become different and looked more and more like an artifact.
The Netherworld River would no longer hurt him. He could feel that the spiritual power in his body had gradually become synchronized with the Netherworld River after drifting for a long time. It was vibrating slightly with a rhythm. Furthermore, his cultivation had also entered the same rhythm as the Netherworld River. When the Netherworld River surged, he also felt lively. When the Netherworld River was irritable, his emotions were like a brewing storm. When he cultivated at this time, he could feel that his spiritual power would increase with half the effort. Furthermore, when the Netherworld River was calm … that was usually a great opportunity for him to have a big meal. This was because other than hunger, he could not feel anything else.
Sometimes, Mu Zi wondered if the Netherworld River could also be hungry. A spying aura probed over from afar on the shore.
Mu Zi was not surprised, nor did he care. After all, it was just like a greeting. There were still three days until the agreed trading day. As long as he sailed in the direction of the Dragon's Head Shore, it would not be difficult to find his tracks.
Mu Zi was as calm as ever when he faced this spying. Due to some changes that he could not understand, Mu Zi felt that the Netherworld River was becoming more and more like his home ground.
The clouds in the sky gradually dimmed. Night came without warning in the underground world. Before the last ray of light disappeared from the sky, the green color of the Netherworld River had already faintly lit up. Various negative energies rose and surged out from the Netherworld River.
Mu Zi opened the Life and Death Coffin. A whistling sound came from the Life and Death Coffin, and the rising negative energies were continuously swallowed by it. Meanwhile, Mu Zi continuously threw some materials into the coffin. The materials from the divine territory slowly melted under the combined effects of the negative energies and the Life and Death Coffin. Then, they seeped into the Life and Death Coffin and became a part of it.
Time passed. Suddenly, there was a fire on the shore in front of him. Mu Zi looked over and saw that a carriage was burning. An exotic beast that had been pulling the carriage was lying in a pool of blood. Under the light of the fire, black blood was still on the soil, slowly spreading in all directions.
A snow-white lady was being attacked from all sides. Her long black hair was disheveled and fluttered in the wind. A man who was attacking her pulled her long hair and dragged her to the ground. "Ah!"
The lady screamed, but she did not give up. She stretched out her hand, and her beautiful hair was cut in the middle. It was as if she had inadvertently looked at the Netherworld River and saw Mu Zi, who was following the flow of the river.
"Save me!"
She let out a short and desolate cry towards Mu Zi, begging for help.
"Sir, the Faction is dealing with traitors. Please forgive us for disturbing your journey!"
The few men looked at Mu Zi fearfully, and one of them explained in a low voice.
"Sir, I have nothing to do with them! They are … Ah … "The lady let out a whimper, but she was quickly grabbed by the few men. She struggled violently, and the clothes on her body were torn even more. Her snow-white body flickered with the light of the fire.
Mu Zi looked at her panic-stricken face. She was truly a beautiful woman.
She was a pure and moving celestialoid. Her dignified and beautiful eyes were throbbing like spring flowers that had been hit by rain because of her panic. Her white clothes were tattered because of the intense battle, making her look like a red apricot that had burst out of the wall, causing one to have the desire to explore it. Mu Zi was no exception to this. He recalled the story of stockings. It was something that Sister Hong had discussed with him in the desert. The most seductive method was not to let a woman be naked. That was primitive, low-class, and barbaric. True men despised it, and only weak and unconfident men would take the bait. Thus, in order to seduce men, a woman would wear stockings, causing her ordinary legs and feet to become a stunner that men subconsciously wanted to explore deeply …
At that time, Mu Zi did not understand Sister Hong's words. He did not think that a naked woman would be less seductive than a woman wearing stockings. However, ever since that strange girl had appeared, a certain part of his feelings seemed to have been enlightened, but that girl had disappeared again.
Mu Zi watched as this pitiful woman struggled in the middle of a group of men, and the clothes on her body were getting thinner and thinner. However, Mu Zi continued to watch with a smile. His eyes were as dark as the Netherworld River.
This was truly a brilliant performance. There was no doubt that it had captured his characteristics. This woman had indeed aroused his desire to protect her. However, another world had opened up in his vision.
Although the people surrounding her were fierce, they did not emit any real killing intent. Furthermore, the woman did not have the deathly aura of someone facing death. This was a gift from the Netherworld River to him. Just like the legendary emissaries of the Netherworld, Mu Zi could see the special undulations of people who were about to die and those who had killed them — the deathly aura and the murderous aura.
Mu Zi looked at this scene that was getting more and more clumsy. His gaze landed on the ground beside the burning chariot. A large number of star stones were scattered there, as well as many medicinal herbs and elixirs. From the looks of it, this woman had intended to go to the Dragon's Head Shore to trade, but had been robbed and killed on the way. The other party had really put on a good show.
Mu Zi looked at these things and smiled. These were the rare treasures that he had chosen to use the Red Spider Lily to trade for the last time. They were indeed the resources that he urgently needed now.
Thus, he moved. A dark undulation appeared in the dense fog. Mu Zi steered the boat and rowed towards the shore. The fog gradually spread to the shore.
The people from the Darkness Demon Faction watched as the fog spread over. However, under the effect of spiritual power, it could not obstruct their vision.
The boat reached the shore.
Boom …
Almost instantly, there was a loud boom. The few people who had already reached the end of their acting immediately exploded! The skin and flesh on their bodies were torn apart, revealing their original appearances. They circulated their different powers together and swarmed towards Mu Zi.
The dark world in the fog became even brighter.
However, the few of them did not stop and plunged into the fog that was gradually changing color. They firmly locked onto Mu Zi.
Five meters, four meters, three meters …
Boom! The sound of bubbles exploding suddenly rang out from the fog. At first, it was a lonely sound. However, in the next second, this kind of sound continuously exploded like beans being fried!
Bang bang …
The determined steps of the Darkness Demon Faction that were charging towards Mu Zi suddenly stopped. What followed the sound of the explosion was an intense aura of the Netherworld River! Water. Water from the Netherworld River poured down from the sky like a storm!
The fog was no longer fog. It swept over like a furious giant that had turned into a storm and rushed to the shore, torturing them!
Boom boom boom boom boom …
The torrential rain of the Netherworld River landed on their bodies, and the sound was like a battering ram pounding on a city gate.
Wah …
The few people who had charged into the fog screamed in pain. Rays of light flashed on their bodies one after another. Those were the defensive treasures that they treasured as much as their lives. They exploded one after another, but they still couldn't stop the pulling of their souls from the Netherworld River. They howled in pain. From their muscles to their bones, from their skin to their souls, everything was being twisted by that power like a towel being wrung out.
No one thought of grabbing Mu Zi. If they continued to stay in the fog, they would die here. Everyone screamed and frantically retreated until they were out of the fog. Everyone looked at Mu Zi, who was faintly smiling in the fog, in horror.
Mu Zi smiled and did not chase after them. If they really fought, he would definitely not be able to defeat them. At the very least, they were Void Cores. However, as long as they were by the Netherworld River, the Netherworld River was the most effective weapon against these experts. He was insignificant, but no matter who faced the Netherworld River, they were also insignificant. The fear in their hearts made them not dare to display their full strength, nor did they have the space to do so.
Outside the fog, the members of the Darkness Demon Faction watched as Mu Zi placed various medicinal ingredients and pills into the coffin. Their hearts were filled with rage. The dignified deputy faction leaders of the Darkness Demon Faction had actually been suppressed by a brat who did not even have a Void Core. However, when they saw the netherworld ripples that flashed in the fog from time to time, they could only be angry but did not dare to attack. Most importantly, no one was willing to reveal their trump cards just to benefit others.
The Fifth Dimension, the human Holy Land …
Ma Dong felt that he was about to go crazy. The divine territory had sent another large order. This time, it was for cola.
It was cola again. In order to satisfy the needs of the divine territory, Ma Dong had specially developed the "special supply" of the divine territory. The taste was the same, but the ingredients were extremely expensive. This was because ordinary cola would become completely different even in the divine territory due to the differences.
Regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong or someone who was instigating this behind the scenes, he felt that this was a massive opportunity, an opportunity to earn profits from the divine territory. In the end, he received the support of the Patriarch Society.
However, regardless of whether it was the Patriarch Society or Ma Dong, they could not figure out the inside story of this matter. This was because there were all sorts of powers that came to inquire about it, and it was very complicated. There were no clues at all.
It seemed to be related to some Netherworld Wanderer … What the hell was that?
If the humans could gain a firm foothold in the divine territory through cola and earn enough Star Coins to nurture new people …
This was the true seed of hope for the humans.
In the depths of the Netherworld River …
Mu Zi rubbed his slightly itchy nose. He recalled the taste of cola once again, and the corner of his mouth instantly became slightly moist.
To put it bluntly, the activities organized by the Patriarch Society were to form cliques. The activities organized by other organizations were usually especially "high-end". To put it bluntly, they were extravagant and rich in content. While displaying the strength of the organization, they were also using various content to draw the relationship between members closer and establish a stable circle of power and benefits. Simply put, the civilizations in the world were one, and their choices in certain aspects were more or less the same.
Thus, the majority of them would choose the bustling entertainment venues or high-end private clubs on Heavenly Gates Street. There were various rare smells and gorgeous styles. One could imagine how high it was. In the world of the tall, rich, and handsome people from high-leveled civilizations, there was nothing that could not be imagined. This was the level that only those who stood at the peak of the Fifth Dimension could have. Needless to say, there would be no harm if there was no comparison.
When Lao Wang came over, he had the mentality of broadening his horizons. Even though the Machinery race and the insect race were rather "boring", these two races did not lack money. Heavenly Gates Street Number 365 …
This was a house that could not be any simpler. It could simply be described as a house with four bare walls. Forget about decorations, it was so empty that there was not even a stool. There were only a dozen straw cushions on the ground. This was the entire welcoming ceremony of the Law Enforcement Association.
Macatron brought Wang Zhong in. There were nine Machinery race members and three insect race members sitting here quietly. Everyone had a cold expression. When they saw Wang Zhong enter, everyone looked at him with a rather friendly gaze. Closely after, they stared at each other and did not look sideways … Was this a welcoming ceremony?
Those who did not know would think that this was a funeral parlor. Wang Zhong was speechless. He and Macatron found two empty cushions and sat down cross-legged. There were still people coming over one after another. Then, the air strangely froze.
Wang Zhong continued to size them up. To him, the appearance of the Machinery race was very similar. The biggest difference was their heads. Most of the Machinery race here were not the combat type. Just like the presiding judge he had seen in the Catanlyke District Trial Hall, most of these Machinery race members had massive heads. Some had transparent skulls, while others were translucent. Their insides looked like a deep universe. It was obvious that they were the intelligent type.
The Law Enforcement Association in the Heavenly Gates did not nurture ordinary members who patrolled the streets and enforced the law. Instead, they nurtured higher-ups who focused on trials and rulings.
Furthermore, the insect race was the same. They were not like the combat type insect race that Lao Wang had seen in the Combat Cultivation Hall. They did not have hard shells or slender limbs that were good for combat. On the contrary, all of them seemed rather bloated. Some were like worms, while others were like monsters with large heads. However, without exception, their spiritual power was exceptionally developed. Even though they deliberately restrained themselves in this room, Wang Zhong could still sense that they were constantly emitting powerful brain waves. They were like layers of limitless electric waves that continuously spread in all directions. Their thoughts and spirit were extremely developed.
Brain Insects, or King Insects, were the collective name for this type of insect race. The insect race was not like the Machinery race, which emphasized that everyone was for everyone. Within the insect race, there was a strict hierarchy, and they were the civilization with the strictest hierarchy in the Star Alliance. These King Insects, or rather, Brain Insects, had a status that was below one person and above tens of thousands of people. This was how they were born! Other than the Queen of the insect race, who was extremely mysterious in the entire Star Alliance, they were basically the representatives of the insect race.
In the past, it was not easy to see one of these Brain Insects, but there were a total of five of them here …
After waiting for around four or five minutes, it seemed that everyone who had been invited had arrived. There were a total of 12 Machinery race members, five from the insect race, and Wang Zhong, who was an Earthling. There were 18 of them, and this was almost half of the members of the Law Enforcement Association. The leader of the Machinery race was called Rhode D. The identity of the Machinery race was very closely related to the letter at the back of the name. The letter D was considered rather high-ranking.
He was the last to enter. At that moment, everyone had formed a circle. Rhode D sat on a straw cushion in the center and used a mechanical and cold voice to say, "Welcome Camrido E, Dedesi F … Pilo Min, Fir Min, Wanwan Min … Wang Zhong, to the Law Enforcement Association."
Those with a letter at the back of their name were obviously from the Machinery race. There were only four new members from the Machinery race who had joined the Law Enforcement Association this time, and the rest were old members.
Meanwhile, those with a 'Min' at the back of their name were the rights that only the king insects of the insect race had. It meant that they were the king of the insect people. Pilo and so on were their real names. Min was equivalent to a prince. After all, they were still young and still had a lot to learn. Furthermore, they had yet to truly wield power.
Simply speaking, the outside world had a very direct view of the insect race. Those with a name were all bosses.
This was common sense. Lao Wang felt that others were strange, but others felt that Lao Wang was the strangest. However, in this room, Lao Wang was indeed the strangest.
The room was silent. Pairs of strange eyes and layers of brain waves swept across the room. What was even weirder was that even Rhode D, who was in charge of leading the group, seemed to have ended the entire ceremony and process after he finished speaking. There was no follow-up at all, and he only stared at Wang Zhong. Even Lao Wang felt a little creeped out by his stare.
That was it? This was the Law Enforcement Association's welcome ceremony? This was a horror film, right? No wonder no one was willing to pay attention to this group of fellows. This was simply too boring.
"Ahem …" Lao Wang could not help but cough dryly to break the strange atmosphere in the room. "Deputy President, what activities do we have?"
Rhode D was the Deputy President of the Law Enforcement Association. At that moment, he was slightly dumbfounded. Then, he heard a rather stiff voice speak from the side.
"Learn the rules and discuss the law."
"We can also simulate cases." The sounds of the insect race were very strange. It sounded like a single buzzing noise, but this only meant that they were making sounds. They mainly used complex brain waves to convey various precise meanings.
"Recently, there doesn't seem to be any exciting cases that can be simulated in the Heavenly Gates," said a Machine expressionlessly.
"Last month, there was the case of Elder Tianming's pill furnace being stolen," suggested a Machine.
"His disciple stole it." Another Machine shook his head. "He was too stupid. He was caught before he even walked out of the Heavenly Gates. There are witnesses and material evidence. This is too simple. There is no room for discussion, and there is no value in simulating it."
The surroundings immediately fell silent. Lao Wang had a slight headache. The public security in the Heavenly Gates was rather good, and there were very few major cases that they could simulate.
Lao Wang was about to cry. This group of fellows was simply more boring than monks chanting scriptures. If there were more of these activities, he would really go crazy.
Rhode D had been observing all this time. When he saw Lao Wang's speechless gaze, his eyes remained steady like a gentle breeze. He calmly asked, "Wang Zhong, do you have any suggestions for activities?"
Countless pairs of icy cold eyes stared at Lao Wang in unison. Yes, they were very interested in Lao Wang, but this was how they expressed themselves. To be honest, this was also the reason why other races could not adapt to this style. The Machinery race and the insect race had always pursued this method of communication, but this method that seemed efficient but lacked interest in life caused other races to keep a respectful distance. It was not that no one wanted to adapt to them, but they really could not.
Their thinking was not on the same level. This was also one of the reasons why it was very difficult for other races to integrate into the Machinery race and the insect race.
"I think …" Lao Wang felt that the kneeling position was too uncomfortable and simply crossed his legs. "As members of the Heavenly Gates Law Enforcement Association, we must first strengthen our relationship and understand each other. I suggest that we start from this aspect!"
