The two who were bickering pricked up their ears at the same time to listen to the movements outside. They looked at each other and saw the nervousness in each other's eyes. They stopped talking, afraid that something unexpected would happen. However, they seemed a little lost amidst their nervousness … Did they reach the Endless Horizon so smoothly?
According to Shen You, the Netherworld River was the same as the land. It was also ruled by powerful factions. The long journey was full of danger, and accidents could happen at any time. The two were mentally prepared for the worst. However, what made them feel strange was that they reached the Endless Horizon without any danger. Someone even slept the entire way. Compared to Shen You's explanation, the two felt that it was a little unbelievable.
In fact, even Jiu You himself felt a little baffled, let alone the two of them. Since when had the Netherworld River Basin become so peaceful? Where did all those fellows who blocked the road, robbed, killed, bullied the weak, and committed all sorts of crimes go?
Everything had its cause and effect. In fact, Shen You's cautiousness, or rather timidity, and familiarity with this route were also objective reasons for being able to reach this place smoothly. Most importantly, due to the intervention of the Netherworld Emperor's guards, the Silver Armor Army, the Silver Armor Army's friends in the Netherworld River were not weak either. With these powerhouses' forces secretly monitoring their journey, those who had ill intentions along the way would dispel their evil thoughts after discovering them. This was equivalent to providing protection for them in disguise. This was the real internal reason.
Yue Qianchou and Cangyun Xin held their breaths and listened attentively to the movements outside. It would be a lie to say that they did not want to go out and take a look. Even the Netherworld cultivators did not dare to step into the Punishment Land of the Netherworld, let alone the people from the Immortal World. The two of them wanted to see the true appearance of the Endless Horizon. With this experience, it would be an enviable qualification to show off. However, no one had the guts to go out and take a look.
Endless Horizon. Those who heard this name for the first time would probably associate it with darkness. In fact, in a place as dark as the Netherworld, there was probably no place brighter than it. It was definitely not a lie!
Almost half of the vast Endless Horizon was fused with the bright and wriggling red light, and it was steaming hot. Coming here, one would realize that one was like a freshly baked bun …
On a narrow section of the Netherworld River, red light enveloped the river, dyeing the entire river red. On both sides of the River Styx, there was a row of soldiers in red armor. Their clothes and armor were bright red, and each of them gave off a vicious aura, as if they had charged out from blood and fire. Not far behind them, there was a hot red mist rising into the night sky. They stood quietly by the river as if waiting for something …
One of them, be it in terms of appearance or temperament, was clearly different from the other red-armored soldiers. Although he was also wearing red armor, his armor was like the shell of a beetle. It was extremely close-fitting and had sharp edges. He was tall and sturdy, with a layer of short hair sticking to his scalp. His face was thick, and his eyes were as round as copper bells. He had the aura of a tiger-lion beast king. Both his shoulders and the upper half of his body were wrapped in red iron chains that were as thick as a thumb. They were like thick armor that was stretched taut on his muscular chest. It was as if the two bulging muscles on his chest could snap the iron chains with a crack if he exerted force!
Suddenly, an undetectable wave came from the night sky. The tall and sturdy man with the red chains frowned slightly. Then, he waved his hand, and a hundred of the red-armored soldiers on both sides of the River Styx immediately scuttled into the River Styx and quickly disappeared into the water.
The giant clam that was almost sticking to the bottom of the River Styx suddenly came to a halt. Jiu You realized that the path in front of him had been cut off by the hundreds of red-armored soldiers.
"Oh no! It's the Purgatory army that controls the Endless Horizon! They've blocked our path. " Jiu You panicked and told the two people in his body. Yue Qianchou and Cangyun Xin quickly stood up. Cangyun Xin stared at Yue Qianchou and sneered. "What's going to happen is going to happen. It's all your fault. I've fallen into the pit with you."
"Damn it! What's the hurry? Jiu You, turn around! Let's hide for a while first. They might not be targeting us. "Yue Qianchou waved his hand and shouted.
Jiu You had the same intention. He did not hesitate to turn around. In the end, he realized that a hundred red-armored soldiers had appeared out of nowhere and cut off their path of retreat. Jiu You looked around in fear. In the end, he realized that he could not see through the cultivation of any of the red-armored soldiers. Now, the only way out was to leave through the water. However, the Endless Horizon was the main camp of the Purgatory army. It would be even more dangerous to leave the River Styx. It was impossible to escape.
"What should we do? What should we do? The path ahead and back have been cut off by the Purgatory army. We have nowhere to run. "Jiu You was completely panicking.
"Why are you panicking? You're from the River Styx. They won't dare to do anything to you. Be careful. They won't make things difficult for you! " Yue Qianchou tried to make his tone as calm as possible. He patted his plump body in the clam and laughed. "Jiu You! Whether we can pass this time depends on you. "
Jiu You thought about it and agreed with him. He was from the River Styx, so the Purgatory army would not do anything to him. However, when he slowly approached the soldiers in front of him, his stomach still palpitated with fear. Hence, he forced himself to calm down and asked with a smile, "I'm from the Water Tribe of the Netherworld River. I wonder if you can make way for me and let me pass."
A red-armored soldier floating in the water slowly floated forward and pushed his palm to stop him. "We're pursuing a fugitive. Regardless of whether you're in the sky or in the water, you have to be checked. If there's nothing wrong, we'll naturally let you pass!"
"Uh …" Jiu You was stunned. He plucked up his courage and asked, "You're from the land. Since when did you have the right to set up a checkpoint in the River Styx to check the River Styx?"
"That's not something you should worry about. We've naturally informed the overlord of this water body." The red-armored soldier pointed at Jiu You's huge body in the water and said, "I see that your clam is huge. It's big enough to hide a few people inside. Please open it and let us search. If there's nothing wrong, we'll immediately let you pass."
Jiu You was speechless, but he did not dare to open the clam for them to search. While he was panicking and hesitating, the red-armored soldier suddenly shouted, "Cooperate quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for using force! "
The two people hiding in the clam looked at each other. They had clearly heard the movements outside. Although the people searching outside did not say who the fugitive was, the two of them felt that they were the ones being captured.
"Old Cang! You're an expert. What do you think we should do? "Yue Qianchou humbly asked with telepathy.
You respect me as an expert now? Gray Cloud Xin rolled his eyes, but now was not the time to fight. He replied telepathy, "With Jiu You's cultivation, if anything happens, we won't be able to break out. Hiding outside is not a solution."
"If anything happens, are you confident that you can help me and Jiu You break out?" Yue Qianchou asked cautiously with telepathy.
Gray Cloud Xin thought for a while and slowly replied, "I can't say for sure since I can't see the situation outside. But I'm sure there are many experts in Purgatory. Plus, the Endless Sea is vast. Even if I can break out for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist a large number of experts! If I'm alone, maybe it won't be difficult to break out. "
"Maybe they're not here to capture us, Old Cang! Just be prepared for the worst! " After Yue Qianchou said that, he suddenly patted Shen You and said in a clear voice, "Shen You, open it and let us out!"
Jiu You, who was in a dilemma, opened the giant shell. Two people flashed out. Jiu You also turned into human form. The three of them stood side by side. Yue Qianchou looked back and forth, then cupped his hands towards the red-armored soldier who came out of the formation, and said with a smile, "I wonder what happened that caused the Purgatory Army to make such a big fuss."
The man glanced at Cangyun Xin and Yue Qianchou and said, "Two criminals have escaped from the Endless Horizon. We are currently searching for them." Then he pointed at the two and said, "I think the two of you are very suspicious. Please come back with us for a while. If there's nothing, we will let you go."
So the criminals escaped from the Endless Sea! Hearing this, the three looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. It has nothing to do with us. Yue Qianchou immediately laughed. "General, I think you're mistaken. We are from the Celestial World. We can't be criminals that escaped from the Endless Sea. Take a closer look."
The red-armored soldier covered up the loophole in his words without hesitation. "Some of the criminals in the Endless Sea are from the Celestial World. The two escaped criminals are from the Celestial World."
"Uh … such a coincidence?" Yue Qianchou was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly. "General, we can cooperate with you. But how long will it take?"
"Why ask so many questions? You'll know when you get there. "The red-armored soldier snorted." Don't make us use force! "
The three looked at each other. Yue Qianchou had no choice but to take one step at a time. He said to Jiu You, "This is none of your business. Wait for us in the River Styx!"
Jiu You nodded and watched the two of them leave with the red-armored soldiers. Suddenly, Shen You looked around and immediately realized that something was wrong. The red-armored soldiers that were blocking his way had all left. He could leave at any time …
Not to mention him, even Graycloud Xin and Yue Qianchou, who had leapt out of the water along with the red-armored soldiers, exchanged a glance and also realized that something was wrong. It didn't make sense for the fugitives to retreat just because they encountered the two of them, right? The two of them immediately became vigilant.
The heat wave that came toward them, the dark sky was almost dyed red. The red hot mist that rose from both sides of the river, and the miserable screams that came from afar made the two of them even more afraid. A burly man with a red iron chain wrapped around his upper body stood on the shore of the River Styx, looking at them like a mountain. Both of their gazes were focused on him …
"This man can't be underestimated. He has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Underworld Emperor. I'm afraid he will be a difficult character to deal with," Jiu You said secretly.
Needless to say, Yue Qianchou couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the man with the red iron chain wrapped around his upper body. He was a bit surprised. He immediately recalled the wall carvings in the underground palace when he first met the Saintess of the Underworld in the East Holy Land. Besides the carvings of the Underworld Emperor who was dressed like a scholar, there were also carvings of the Twelve Underworld Generals on both sides of the wall. One of them looked exactly like this man; even their expressions were very similar.
Thinking of what Cangyun Xin had just said, Yue Qianchou immediately let out a breath of cold air, and he secretly sent a voice transmission, You guessed right, this person is indeed difficult to deal with. If I'm not wrong, this person is one of the twelve Netherworld Generals that shake the Netherworld. Old Cang! Why do I feel that something is amiss? Could it be that he was sent here to deal with you? "
One of the Twelve Underworld Generals? Jiu You was shocked. Even though he hadn't seen these twelve figures before, he had heard about them. They were the famous old experts of the Underworld. They were already experts in the middle stage of the Underworld Emperor more than one hundred thousand years ago. Their outstanding military exploits were enough to intimidate the heroes of the Underworld. They were the twelve most capable generals of the Underworld Emperor Bai Qi. They had even followed the Underworld Emperor Bai Qi to fight the infamous Thousand Swords Demon Monarch. Those who survived the battle and escaped alive were even more extraordinary. An ordinary expert in the middle stage of the Underworld Emperor couldn't compare to them.
"How do you know he is one of the Twelve Underworld Generals? Have you seen him before? " Cangyun Xin secretly transmitted his voice, but his gaze never left that person. That person's gaze, which seemed to be solid, rapidly pressed towards his gaze. His ferocious aura, which had been through a long period of slaughter, forced Cangyun Xin to not dare to look directly at that person. He quickly shifted his gaze.
Yue Qianchou replied secretly, "I have seen the portraits of the Twelve Underworld Generals of the Underworld before. This man is one of them."
Jiu You and Yue Qianchou looked left and right at the red-armored soldiers who had come out of the Underworld River. He said secretly, "They actually sent out the Underworld Generals to investigate. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this."
The two of them were still standing there, whispering to each other. The man who had been talking to Yue Qianchou in the water had already dashed to the side of the ferocious man who had red iron chains wrapped around his upper body. He reported something. The ferocious man said in a deep voice, "Bring him here!"
Yue Qianchou and Jiu You were immediately chased over by the group of red-armored soldiers. They stood in front of the ferocious man. The ferocious man ignored Jiu You and stared at Yue Qianchou, sizing him up. Yue Qianchou's heart thumped, his stomach grumbled, and he cursed his ancestors in his heart.
Jiu You, who was at the side, frowned slightly. After some hesitation, he cupped his fists and said, "I am the Great Consecrator of the Celestial Realm's Passionless Palace, Jiu You. May I ask if you are one of the Underworld Emperor's Twelve Underworld Generals, the Red Armored War Army?"
The ferocious man was slightly stunned. He looked a little surprised when he turned to look at Jiu You, as if he didn't expect Jiu You to recognize him. He shouted in a deep voice, "My war army has lived in the Savage Lands for a long time. Back then, I had only met Wang Qing of the Passionless Palace. I have never heard of any Great Consecrator or Little Consecrator. Why have you barged into my Endless Horizons? Could it be that you have some ulterior motives?"
