"What kind of status does the Netherworld King have? How can a nobody like me know him? You must be joking, Master Hei." It was rare for the boss to meet a big customer who was willing to buy an 80% -pill. He smiled and said, "However, I often go to the Dragon's Head Shore to try my luck. I've seen the Netherworld King with my own eyes, and I've also gotten close to the Netherworld King to test it. With my family's pills, I can guarantee that they won't be attacked by the Netherworld aura. It's not like the Yin and Yang Elixirs sold in the market. Many of them are temporarily ordered and purchased by various parties in the Land. There's a mix of good and bad elixirs. Not to mention meeting the Netherworld King, it's difficult to even stay at the Dragon's Head Shore for a long time. There's no guarantee of quality.
Wang Zhong nodded. "Are there still so many people?"
The underground world was also very big. There were not many people who had not heard of the Dragon's Head Shore, but many had not been there.
"That's right!" The boss beamed with joy. "Previously, many people thought that the Netherworld King would be punished by the Three Major Sects for being so ostentatious and that the Dragon's Head Shore would be taken over by the Three Major Sects sooner or later. Many people had already withdrawn and chose to wait and see. The Dragon's Head Shore was no longer as glorious as before. However, ever since Elder Musin was killed by the Netherworld King, although the Three Major Sects did not say anything, everyone knew that they had admitted defeat! The Netherworld King could kill a Gold Core instantly and kill countless experts from the Three Major Sects. His strength was simply unfathomable! Even if the Three Major Sects still had many Gold Core experts, who would be willing to risk their lives to provoke him? After all, he was a Gold Core expert. If he died, there would be one less … Now, the Three Major Sects did not even dare to show their faces at the Dragon's Head Shore as they were afraid of provoking the Netherworld King again. If such a powerful lone wolf really went to find trouble with the Three Major Sects, even if the top Sects joined forces, they would still have a headache.
"The Dragon's Head Shore is now completely popular. It's difficult to even find a place to stay, let alone fight for land and shops like before! All the places around the street that can be used for living are already full. If someone wants to stay, he or she will have to move to the Netherworld River. Otherwise, when the Netherworld King comes, you won't even be able to squeeze in. However, the invasion of the Netherworld aura is even more terrifying. You must have a good Yin and Yang Pill! Master Hei, you want to learn from a master, right? If you ask me, I think buying two pills is definitely not enough. Who knows when the Netherworld King will appear again? Maybe you'll be here for a month or two. I think you should prepare at least twenty. "
"When was the last time the Nether King appeared?"
"Nowadays, it's common for people in the Yin and Yang Pill business to go to the Dragon's Head Shore every other day. As for the Netherworld King, he hasn't shown himself ever since he killed Elder Musin. "The boss chuckled and said," It's been almost a month. According to the Netherworld King's usual habits, the next time he shows himself should be within the next ten days. Master Hei, if you want to go to the Dragon's Head Shore, you have to do it as soon as possible. Who knows when the Nether King will appear? If we miss it, we'll have to wait for at least a month. "
"I heard that the Netherworld King claims to be from Earth? What kind of place was Earth? Who would've thought that such a powerful figure would appear? "Wang Zhong asked while pretending to look at the pills.
"I'm not too sure about that …" The boss said, "I think I've heard about Earthlings before, but without accurate information, who would dare to spread rumors about the Netherworld King? Master Hei, if you're interested, you can go to the Old Nissen Tavern in the Dragon's Head Shore and ask around. It's an old shop there. It's said that when the Netherworld King first appeared at the Dragon's Head Shore, he went there to do business. There are many professionals there. "
The Old Nissen Tavern?
Wang Zhong already knew what to do. When he heard the news, he bought the Yin and Yang Pill without bargaining.
A long time after Wang Zhong left, the boss suddenly revealed an inexplicable sinister smile, and his eyes kept rolling.
It took them half an hour to get out of the huge trading cavern. It was really too big. It was hard to imagine how such a huge man-made cavern was excavated.
There was a vast area outside the cave. When he turned his head, he could see the main body of the cave. It towered into the sky, and he couldn't see its end. Compared to this huge mountain, the cave that was thousands of meters tall was just a small cave.
At that moment, the sky was pitch-black, and the spacious area seemed very quiet. He could hear the sound of owls echoing in the distant valley. The temperature was also very cold and gloomy. There was spiritual influence here, and it was very abundant. However, it was different from the gentle spiritual influence in the Land. The spiritual influence here was cold and had a strong Netherworld aura. Even if he breathed casually, he could feel the coldness penetrating his internal organs, as if it was going to corrode his entire body. Although Lao Wang's body could completely resist it, he felt that this chill was harmful to his body. Thus, he took out a Yin and Yang Pill and swallowed it. A wave of harmonious Yin and Yang energy rose from his abdomen, resisting the cold and Netherworld aura that penetrated his body.
At that moment, the spiritual influence he breathed felt much more normal, and it was easily absorbed by his body, just like in the Land.
There were many rental beasts parked outside the cave. There were hellish warhorses with four burning hooves, three-headed dogs with black Netherworld aura surrounding their bodies, and bone beasts that revealed their white bones.
Perhaps it was because he had interacted with bone demons often that he found them more pleasing to the eye. Lao Wang rented a completely white bone horse. These strange beasts were intelligent and would automatically return to him after reaching the Dragon's Head Shore. The rental fee was only two Silver Star Stones, and it was very fast. Furthermore, the horse knew the map, and it only took three to four hours to travel thousands of kilometers.
At that moment, the sky at the Dragon's Head Shore was gradually brightening, and there was a faint light coming from the Netherworld River. Although it was not as dazzling as the light in the Land, it was enough to see things. According to the time in the Land, it should be noon now. Although there was a difference between day and night in the underground world, the time of night was extremely long. In a day, there was probably only about four to five hours of light at noon.
At that moment, the Dragon's Head Shore was already overcrowded with people. Even in the periphery of the Dragon's Head Shore, temporary tents had been set up everywhere. Lao Wang strolled along the way. Unlike the cheap transportation, as long as it was a place where people gathered, the prices were extremely high. A simple meal had to be priced at Silver Star Stones. This was completely unimaginable in the Land, but business was shockingly good.
Meanwhile, in the core area, the prices of various goods were even more exaggerated, and the flow of people was even greater. Travelers could be seen everywhere on the streets, and they had even paid expensive rents to the various powers in charge of managing the area. After all, every time the Netherworld King came, he would directly go to the Dragon's Head Shore area to trade. At that time, there would be tens of thousands of people in the area, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to have a chance to squeeze in. Let alone trade, it was even impossible for them to catch a glimpse of the Netherworld King's face.
How could it be so popular to such an extent?
When he looked at the information in the Heavenly Gates, he only made a few light references. On one hand, it was because words were pale and could not compare to practice. On the other hand, it was because the people in the Land did not pay enough attention to what happened in the underground world. They were people from two different worlds. Even during normal times, the Heavenly Gates would only supervise the direction of some major events in the underground world and maintain a superficial superior rule and deterrence. They would not really intervene in the specific process of many events in the underground world. Furthermore, it was during the internal conflict between the Heavenly Shell Race and the Fire Demon Race. All the major powers in the Land were focused on the battle between the two races. How would they have the extra energy to be distracted by a lone traveler in the underground world?
However, at that moment, when he saw it with his own eyes, he truly felt the madness of the underground world regarding the Netherworld King.
"Full!"
"Full!"
"Full!"
There were inns everywhere in the streets of the Dragon's Head Shore, but all of them were full. Lao Wang was not in a hurry and simply strolled around casually. Finally, he found the Old Nissen Tavern that the pill shop owner had mentioned.
Although it was noon, the tavern was still overcrowded. A few employees at the bar were in full swing, and a slightly plump middle-aged man was leaning on a chair at the entrance.
"You came to the tavern to ask for a place to stay?" The tavern owner narrowed his eyes and sized up the Black Titan in front of him, as if he was measuring his wealth and identity. "It is not easy to find a place to stay in the current Dragon's Head Shore. The place where my employees are staying can squeeze in another bed. If you don't mind, you can squeeze in with them. Of course, in terms of price … "
"Money is not a problem." Wang Zhong smiled and threw out a small bag of money. There were 100 Gold Star Stones in it.
The tavern owner took the bag of money and weighed it in his hand. His originally lazy face immediately smiled, and he sat up straight. Back then, Haiyeh had only offered 100 Gold Star Stones to buy this tavern. At that time, he had been tempted, but looking at it now, just asking the employees in the tavern to give up half a bed was already worth this price. "Money is everything! You don't have to squeeze. I'll get my employees to give up a bed for you! "
It was easy to get things done with money. The problem of accommodation, which was as difficult as ascending to heaven for those outside, was only worth a few pills that could be refined casually.
Furthermore, this Black Titan, who seemed to be powerful and had a high status, did not put on airs at all. He chatted casually with them at night and did not seem restrained at all.
At the Dragon's Head Shore, these employees were the most well-informed. They talked about small details such as the specific characteristics of the Netherworld King, the various details of the previous battle with the Three Major Factions, and the reasons behind the Netherworld King's transactions. These employees spoke with great enthusiasm and spittle flew everywhere. Compared to those outside who had differing opinions or heard rumors, these employees had personally experienced it and were obviously more trustworthy.
The investigation mission of the Heavenly Gates was simple. Lao Wang could now list out detailed information. There was no need to investigate Mu Zi's identity as an Earthling. As for the incident with the Three Major Factions, these employees had personally witnessed it and experienced it. The specific and accurate details had already been described in great detail. Lao Wang could even report back to the Heavenly Gates to complete his mission now. However, there were two problems.
The first was the extent of the information he had to report. Even though he knew everything about Mu Zi, how could he stupidly report everything to the Internal Gates?
What exactly was their objective this time? Was it the intentions of the Heavenly Gates? It was obvious that the Heavenly Gates had already grasped a certain amount of information regarding the Netherworld King. If he did not report anything in the end or only reported some superficial information, the Heavenly Gates' view of him would definitely change. After all, the Earth still had to integrate into the Star Alliance. If he did not have the capital to break away from this system, he should not think about being too independent and special. In the end, he would still be the one suffering losses. Thus, the extent of the report became a big problem. Wang Zhong felt that he still needed to carefully consider how to handle it. The best way was to personally talk to Mu Zi. Only by understanding the entire situation from Mu Zi's point of view would he be able to control the extent of the report.
The second was still related to Mu Zi. Other than the inexplicable loss of contact last time, there were also some details of the battle between the Netherworld King and the Three Major Factions that the employees had mentioned.
"Uncle Black, you weren't there at that time. It was like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking!"
"Yes, yes. Faced with the encirclement of hundreds of experts from the Three Major Factions, the Netherworld King smiled sinisterly and only said the word 'kill' …"
"Sinister? Are you sure you saw the Netherworld King's expression? "
"Of course!" The employees didn't quite understand why the Black Titan was always paying attention to some inexplicable details. However, for the sake of the Gold Star that this expert was playing with, the four of them tried their best to recall. "I'm absolutely sure! At that time, the Netherworld King definitely smiled. I can still clearly remember that when I saw the Netherworld King's smile, I had goosebumps all over my body. I was so stiff that I couldn't move at all. Just that smile alone was more terrifying than Elder Musin's Gold Core pressure. It was as if all the creatures in this world were like meat on a plate in the Netherworld King's eyes. It was too terrifying. It was still fresh in my memory … "
"I saw it too, Uncle Black. That was the Netherworld King's Deathly Smile and Deathly Gaze. Oh my god, that smile still gives me nightmares even when I think about it now …" Another employee added with lingering fear in his heart.
Wang Zhong furrowed his eyebrows. The employees were all saying the same thing and swearing that they had sensed the Netherworld King's bloodthirsty intent. This definitely wasn't groundless. He started to have a faint bad premonition in his heart. Lao Wang was very sure that the bald Netherworld King that the employee was talking about was definitely Mu Zi. However, his combat style, personality, performance, and even strength were fundamentally different from the Mu Zi that he knew.
How should he put it … He felt that the Netherworld King was too bloodthirsty and gloomy. Even though Mu Zi was already a Netherworld expert who walked between life and death on Earth, the closer he was to life and death, the more indifferent Mu Zi was to life and death. During the battle at the Dragon's Head Shore, if it was the normal Mu Zi, he would have been indifferent or numb to killing people. He definitely wouldn't have revealed such a perverted and gloomy expression.
Furthermore, Mu Zi didn't use his Life and Death Coffin. This was Mu Zi's foundation. Based on his previous experience, he might have felt that the Life and Death Coffin from Earth was no longer elegant in the divine territory. However, after coming into contact with high-level artifacts such as the Hidden Dragon Sword and the copper mirror, as well as the changes and uniqueness of the Fate Stone, Wang Zhong could feel that Mu Zi's Life and Death Coffin was definitely something extraordinary. He didn't dare to say that it could be compared to the Fate Stone, but it was definitely not something that the so-called level-4 or level-5 artifacts in the Land could compare to. Perhaps it was just like what the various races in the Star Alliance had speculated about the Earth in the beginning. It was a divine artifact left behind by the ancient gods when they were spreading their teachings on Earth. Such a divine artifact had a special relationship with Mu Zi. It could be said to be Mu Zi's life artifact, just like the relationship between him and the Fate Stone. They had long surpassed the scope of external objects and could not be separated.
After reaching the divine territory, Mu Zi's strength had increased. He should be able to control it better and unleash greater power. However, he didn't use it when he faced the three great Factions. Was it because Elder Musin's strength didn't require Mu Zi to use his artifact? Or was it because … Mu Zi was no longer the Mu Zi of the past?
Wang Zhong didn't know. This information obviously couldn't be obtained from the tavern or the waiters. The only way was to wait for Mu Zi to arrive. Only by seeing Mu Zi with his own eyes and talking to him personally would he be able to find out these true secrets.
Lao Wang smiled and threw the Gold Star Stone in his hand over. "I'm very interested in the Netherworld King and the Earth that he claims to be from. If there's any new information about them, as long as the information is accurate, you can come and talk to me anytime."
