The reason why he spent so much effort to nag in front of Wu Xiong was to get Wu Xiong to agree, but the most important reason was to gain Wu Xiong's support. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Wu Xiong had been the External Affairs Commander of the Immortal Palace for so many years. It was impossible that he didn't have any power in the Netherworld that he could borrow. If that was the case, then Wu Xiong wouldn't have held this position for so many years. It could also be described as incompetent. How could the Immortal Emperor let an incompetent person be the External Affairs Commander of the Immortal Palace …
"Father-in-law, have a safe trip. I won't see you off!" Wu Xiong cupped his fists and bowed slightly. He watched Mu Bing leave with a sneer on his face.
With his intelligence, how could he not know that Mu Bing wanted to borrow his power? Since Mu Bing was in such a hurry, he would fulfill his wish. In any case, he only gave some verbal help and didn't show any evidence. As for the Onyx Army, if anything happened, he wouldn't be implicated. Moreover, judging from Mu Bing's words and actions just now, it was obvious that he was prepared. Perhaps he could really kill Yue Qianchou.
However, what Wu Xiong didn't know was that in the world of Yue Qianchou's previous life, there was an idiom called "armchair strategists". When one had nothing to do, one could boast and speak eloquently. However, when it came to real action, it was far from the case. If Mu Tianjiao had been present just now, she would have desperately tried to stop her father from doing that because she knew her father too well. How could she not know what her father was capable of? She never thought that her father could be a match for Yue Qianchou, so she repeatedly advised him not to provoke Yue Qianchou …
But Wu Xiong wasn't a fool. He let Mu Bing do whatever he wanted because he had other intentions. The real reason was that Mu Bing had just said something about Mu Tianjiao and Yue Qianchou. Regardless of how Yue Qianchou was, Wu Xiong could see that this father-in-law of his could even insult the reputation of his only daughter, let alone him, his son-in-law. One could imagine what he wouldn't do in the future. At this rate, he would be implicated sooner or later.
Then let him kill Yue Qianchou! It would be best if they could kill Yue Qianchou!
If Mu Tianjiao really had a Yue Qianchou in her heart, it would cut off Mu Tianjiao's yearning. For someone who loved her, it was a good thing. At the same time, Mu Tianjiao would surely hate her father because of this. Then, he could justifiably distance himself from Mu Bing, so as not to implicate himself in the future, and not to cause a rift between him and Mu Tianjiao. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone!
If Mu Bing failed to kill Yue Qianchou and was killed by Yue Qianchou instead, it would be a good thing for him. Now that Mu Bing was dead, this inconvenient burden was completely gone. Naturally, Mu Tianjiao would also completely cut off her thoughts of Yue Qianchou. One could imagine how she would treat the person who killed her father. Similarly, it was killing two birds with one stone!
In short, no matter who died, it would be a good thing for him, so Wu Xiong was naturally happy to do it. Poor Mu Bing. Little did he know that this little trick of his was not even worth mentioning in the eyes of some people. He was just digging a pit that would harm others and himself. Whether or not he could harm others was another matter, but he was definitely going to harm himself …
On the rapidly flying shuttle, Yue Qianchou sat at the back of the shuttle with his legs crossed. He leaned on the side of the shuttle with one hand supporting his head and looked at the scenery. It had already been two days. Qian Yun Xin, who was silently standing at the front of the flying shuttle, had his back facing him. The two of them had almost never communicated. Only Yue Qianchou would tease him from time to time. Unfortunately, the other party simply ignored him …
Drowsily, Yue Qianchou felt the red light piercing his eyes. He opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was another rising sun. It was the fourth day since he left the Psychedelic Immortal City. In front of him, Qian Yun Xin's imposing figure blocked most of the piercing sunlight. Yue Qianchou could not help but sigh at his foresight. Fortunately, he was not the one driving the flying shuttle …
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, the front end of the flying shuttle suddenly pressed down and slammed diagonally towards the ground. With the back of the shuttle tilted up, Yue Qianchou grabbed the sides of the flying shuttle. He could see the ground getting closer and closer to him. He immediately cried out in alarm, "What are you trying to do, Qian Yun Xin?"
Like a nail, Qian Yun Xin, who was standing firmly at the front of the flying shuttle, descended against the wind. He looked back and snorted coldly, "Cowardly rat!" Then, the flying shuttle abruptly returned to normal and flew almost close to the ground. Finally, it slowly stopped in front of a magnificent palace built against a mountain.
"Bang!" The moment the flying shuttle landed on the ground, Qian Yun Xin had already floated out and landed lightly on the steps of the palace's entrance. Yue Qianchou dashed out as if he was running for his life. Then, he took the flying shuttle in his hand and checked it. After confirming that it was not damaged, he put it away. Just as he was about to scold Qian Yun Xin, he saw two golden-robed guards at the entrance of the palace. He immediately looked around and found that it was the entrance to the netherworld that everyone had mentioned. Only then did he know why Qian Yun Xin had stopped.
"Damn it! Why didn't you say anything … "Yue Qianchou cursed under his breath. In his heart, he was also amazed at the vastness of the immortal world. With Qian Yun Xin's cultivation, it took him more than three days to fly from the Psychedelic Immortal City to here. If it was him, who knew how many days it would take to fly. This was the difference in cultivation!
After looking around, he swayed towards a small hill on the side. Just as he reached the top of the hill, he heard Qian Yun Xin's voice behind him, "Where are you going now?"
"To pee!" Yue Qianchou turned back and roared. Just as he lifted his robe, he found that there was a col in front of him that seemed to be more hidden. He turned back and roared again, "Don't peek!" Qian Yun Xin's face immediately darkened. He had no intention of peeking at all.
After turning into the col, Yue Qianchou looked around. After confirming that there was no one, he took out a silver ball and pressed it into the mountain wall. This was mainly to shorten the time it would take to reach the entrance to the netherworld. Then, he lifted up his long robe and fired a shot to deceive others.
After tying his belt, he swayed back to the entrance of the palace. Qian Yun Xin looked at him coldly and sneered, "Why don't you take a dump again?"
Yue Qianchou shrugged disapprovingly, "This thing doesn't care about travel together! The place I just went is very hidden. If you want to take me there, I'll wait for you. " Qian Yun Xin's lips moved, but he forcefully held back and did not say anything. He realized that he was not a match for Yue Qianchou in a quarrel. The main thing was that he was not as shameless as Yue Qianchou.
The two golden-robed guards looked at each other. They had never heard anyone talk about taking a dump here. It was simply unbearable. One of them immediately shouted, "This is the entrance to the netherworld. Those with the token can enter. Those without the token are not allowed to make a ruckus here. Leave quickly."
Yue Qianchou immediately took out his Netherworld Passage Token and waved it in front of the Ashcloud Messenger in a threatening manner. It was as if he was saying, "Did you hear that? Those without the token are not allowed to make a ruckus here. I can make a ruckus with the token. If you don't have it, you better shut up obediently."
Qian Yun Xin's face darkened again. Although their Heartless Palace had the Netherworld token, it had always been used by groups. They would rarely give it to a single person, unless there was something important. He immediately said in a deep voice, "If you want to go in alone without me, this old man will be more than happy to do so."
Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, as if saying, "In your dreams." Then, he walked up to the guards and handed over the token for them to check. After confirming it, the guards let the two of them in.
The two of them walked in one after the other. There was nothing in the hall. The four walls were chiseled with knives and axes, and there was only a long tunnel. The tunnel was abnormally dark, and it was frighteningly quiet. Only the sound of their footsteps could be heard. At the end of the tunnel, there was a ball of black light spinning tirelessly. It was unknown how many years it had been spinning here.
"You go in first!" Yue Qianchou moved to the side. After all, he had never been to the netherworld, so he was more or less unsure.
Qian Yun Xin snorted coldly and disappeared into the spinning black light in a flash. Yue Qianchou hesitated for a long time, but he finally plucked up his courage and jumped in. The moment he entered the spinning black light, colorful flowing lights appeared in front of him. An unknown gravitational force sucked him in, and when there was a flash of light, he was spat out.
The sky was dark, and there was no light from the sun or the moon. It was like the moment when twilight was about to turn into night … This was the first thing that Yue Qianchou felt when he landed and saw this world. However, before he could see anything else …
"Yue Qianchou!" Qian Yun Xin's angry roar rang out. Yue Qianchou looked over and saw over a dozen black-armored, knife-wielding soldiers surrounding Graycloud Xin. Graycloud Xin was looking at Yue Qianchou as if he wanted to swallow him alive.
Damn it! Could it be that the netherworld was in such chaos? It really lived up to its reputation! Before he could figure out what was going on, a stocky armored general appeared in front of him. He held a large blade that looked like a green dragon crescent moon blade and shouted, "Incomer, show me your token of passage to the netherworld!"
Yue Qianchou glanced at the besieged Cangyun Xin and cautiously took out his Netherworld Passage Medallion. While the other side was checking the medallion, Yue Qianchou pointed at Cangyun Xin and carefully asked, "General, what crime did he commit?"
After the armored general verified that there was nothing wrong with the token, he returned it to Yue Qianchou and asked, "He's with you?"
Yue Qianchou's eyes flickered. He could not figure out the situation, nor did he know what kind of crime Qian Yun Xin had committed. If he was with him, would he be implicated? As soon as he hesitated, Qian Yun Xin panicked and roared, "Yue Qianchou, what do you think you're doing?"
Yue Qianchou looked at the situation around him. There weren't many people here, so he guessed that these people might not be a match for Qian Yun Xin. He replied weakly, "He's with me. Is there a problem?"
The armored general immediately rolled his eyes and snapped, "No problem, all of you scram!" The dozen or so saber-wielding soldiers surrounding Graycloud Xin also flashed back. Yue Qianchou walked up to Graycloud Xin, who was glaring at him with fire in his eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What did you do? You made such a big fuss and almost implicated me. "
"Do you really not know?" Qian Yun Xin's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
"I just came in. How would I know what you did?" Yue Qianchou was confused. He did not know that after he let Qian Yun Xin come in first, he had been too careful and hesitated a little too long at the entrance to the Immortal World. As soon as Qian Yun Xin arrived in the Netherworld, the guards naturally wanted to see his Netherworld Token, but he did not have it! He could only say that the token was with the person behind him and would come in soon.
But what made him panic was that after waiting for a long time, Yue Qianchou still didn't come in. He immediately suspected that he had been tricked by Yue Qianchou. The guards waited for a long time and did not see anyone come in. They naturally suspected that he was a trespasser and immediately surrounded him. Fortunately, the guards realized that Qian Yun Xin's cultivation was very high. It was probably not something they could handle, so they didn't make a move. Otherwise, they would have captured Qian Yun Xin first.
It was also at this critical moment that the late Yue Qianchou finally came. This was what happened …
Qian Yun Xin saw that he did not look like he was lying. After a bit of analysis, he felt that he was not lying. If he really wanted to harm him, he would not have come in. Even if he came in, he could have denied not knowing him and caused a conflict between him and the guards … He paused and said, "This should be your first time in the Netherworld, right?"
Yue Qianchou's brain was still somewhat good. After hearing his question and looking at the guards at the entrance, he pondered for a bit and understood what was going on. However, he did not regret not taking the opportunity to trick Qian Yun Xin, because it was useless now. With Qian Yun Xin's ability, if he was forced into a corner, he could easily escape back to the Immortal World. The exit was right in front of him, and the guards here should not be able to stop him.
Yue Qianchou replied with a noncommittal "En", indicating that it was indeed his first time in the Netherworld. Then, he began to look around. A huge stone tablet at the side, diagonally facing the exit of the Netherworld, attracted his attention. Anyone who entered the Netherworld from the Immortal World would probably be able to see the inscription on it.
"The vast Netherworld, a world of its own. Birth, old age, sickness, and death. The ultimate place, the Netherworld!" Twenty large, blood-red words were forcefully engraved on the huge black stone tablet. The words exuded an ancient aura, making people have the urge to kneel and worship them.
Yue Qianchou's gaze turned towards the endless darkness. This place was not completely dark. There was a hint of a green haze to it. It felt like there was some light, but he couldn't tell where the light was. It was like the moment when dusk turned to night, or when the night was about to break. Everything was hazy.
The guards at the entrance of the Netherworld looked at the two fellows who were unwilling to leave. From time to time, they would look at their leader, who was the guy who had just checked Yue Qianchou's pass. Logically speaking, at this time, the leader should have shouted, "Since you have the pass, you are not allowed to stay. Leave immediately!" But the strange thing was that the leader looked to the side with his hands behind his back, as if he had not seen anything.
