Heading to Emperor Hades' palace
"Are you in such a hurry?" Ye Zichen couldn't help but ask.
Xue Mo practically dragged him out by force. The two of them hadn't even exchanged a few words.
Xue Mo said nothing. She simply glanced at Ye Zichen. From her expression, it was easy to see just how desperate she was.
"Alright, let's go."
In the face of her longing gaze, Ye Zichen sighed and nodded.
After leaving the academy, the two of them left Skyspan City. Even with the aid of the flying boat, the two of them sat on it for a full four hours. When the surroundings were completely empty, with barely any villages or cities in sight, Xue Mo finally landed the flying boat.
"Are you sure you can really take me to Emperor Hades' palace?"
When the boat landed, Xue Mo's gaze was serious.
"I can definitely take you there, but I can't be sure if you'll even get to see Emperor Hades."
With Su Yiyun's connections, going to Emperor Hades' palace wouldn't be difficult. However, he had no connection to Emperor Hades. Even with Su Yiyun's help, he didn't dare promise to take Xue Mo to see Emperor Hades.
"As long as we can go to Emperor Hades' palace, that's fine." Xue Mo was completely serious.
They walked shoulder to shoulder through the wasteland. Before long, Ye Zichen saw a woman standing in front of them.
Zhao Qianhe.
"Big Sister Qianhe." Xue Mo jogged up to her.
"You're going to the Lower Lands with him?" When she saw Ye Zichen, her expression changed.
Ye Zichen didn't know how he'd offended this ruler.
Even if she didn't like him, as a junior, he still had to bow to her.
"Senior."
A scrutinizing gaze landed on Ye Zichen. It belonged to Zhao Qianhe.
Her sharp eyes shone with a piercing light, as if she could see right through him.
After a few breaths of time, Zhao Qianhe looked away, but an icy transmission appeared in Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness.
"Kid, you should know that if I wanted to crush you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant."
As he transmitted, Ye Zichen felt a stabbing pain in his sea of consciousness.
His eyes flashed with fury, and he glared at Zhao Qianhe.
"Senior, what exactly do you mean?"
"Ye Zichen, Big Sister Qian He, you …."
How could Xue Mo not see that something was going on between the two of them? She looked at them in bewilderment. Zhao Qianhe hadn't expected Ye Zichen to say something like that. Raising his eyebrows, he spoke without any concealment.
"I've already warned you before, and now you want to bring Bubbly Mo to the bottom of the Divine Mountain. What are your intentions?"
"Senior, do you have persecutory delusions, or do you think too highly of yourself?" Ye Zichen laughed inexplicably. "Xue Mo wanted to resurrect our members, so I told her to go to Emperor Hades' secondary palace. What's wrong with that?"
"Big Sister Qianhe, I told Ye Zichen to come with me," said Xue Mo.
"Emperor Hades' palace? Don't you know what kind of place Emperor Hades' palace is? You think you can go there by yourself? " Zhao Qianhe narrowed her eyes. "Even a ruler can't just go there on a whim. You said you wanted to bring Bubbly Mo there, but the way I see it, you're just trying to use the palace as a pretext to plot against us!"
Ye Zichen clenched his fists. He really, really hated self-righteous people like her.
"Can't say it?" snorted Zhao Qianhe.
"That's right, I'm plotting against you!" Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so he simply admitted it. He nodded repeatedly and chuckled. "Xue Mo, since your Big Sister Qianhe doesn't trust me, let's not go. I don't want anyone to suspect me of harboring evil intentions. Goodbye. "
"Don't go!"
Xue Mo was stuck between the two of them, but she was in an awkward position. She tried to tell Ye Zichen not to leave in a fit of pique, but at the same time, she tried to explain herself to Zhao Qianhe.
To her surprise, Ye Zichen's response actually made Zhao Qianhe relax her guard slightly.
She looked at Ye Zichen meaningfully, then waved her hand, causing a pitch-black wormhole to appear.
"This is the path to the Lower Lands."
Ye Zichen glanced over his shoulder. Just now, she'd looked like she didn't trust him, but now she'd opened the wormhole?
As expected, a woman's thoughts couldn't be understood by normal people.
Zhao Qianhe took out a jade slip, placed it in Xue Mo's hands, and said, "Take this slip.
"Keep this jade slip well. If you encounter any danger, crush it and I'll rush over immediately."
As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Ye Zichen. Obviously, she was referring to Ye Zichen's "accident."
Ye Zichen ignored all of this. If he didn't do anything wrong, he wouldn't be afraid of a crooked shadow.
"Big Sister Qianhe, Ye Zichen isn't that kind of person," said Xue Mo on his behalf.
"No one knows for sure whether he really is or isn't. Bubbly Mo, you're still young. Don't think of everyone as kind." She gently patted Xue Mo on the shoulder, then gestured at the wormhole. "Alright, hurry up and go down. But don't stay down there for too long. Your dad said the God Realm isn't particularly peaceful, and the Lower Lands are even more chaotic. You have to be careful. "
"I know," said Xue Mo with a sweet smile.
"You …. Hurry up and follow Bubbly Mo to Emperor Hades' secondary palace." Zhao Qianhe's attitude towards Ye Zichen instantly underwent an earth-shattering transformation. "Don't try to be unreasonable. You should know that I'm a ruler …."
With that, an overwhelming ruler's pressure bore down on Ye Zichen.
The corners of Ye Zichen's mouth twitched. She was being too damn unreasonable!
He reluctantly stepped into the wormhole. Xue Mo obeyed Zhao Qianhe's repeated reminders and stepped into the wormhole as well.
When the two of them disappeared, Zhao Qianhe frowned and rested her chin on her hand.
"Why does this kid look so much like the new Lord of Seven Stars …."
As soon as the thought occurred to her, her lips twitched.
"You're overthinking things."
Perhaps in consideration of Xue Mo's need to go through the wormhole, the wormhole was relatively stable. There were no spatial cracks in the middle.
When they emerged from the wormhole, they just happened to be standing on the edge of the River Styx.
"So this is the world beneath the Divine Mountains?"
Xue Mo looked around curiously. She'd been born on the Divine Mountains, but this was her first time in the Lower Lands.
Her gaze fell on the River Styx, and she couldn't help but ask.
"This is the River Styx, right?"
"That's right."
Ye Zichen smiled and nodded, but at that moment, he froze.
