While Yan Mai was on his way to the Mansion of the Dead.
The players' original plan to prank him had suddenly changed.
The reason was that the players near the Kuilong Ocean had sent a message. The Sea King had found them and informed them of a piece of news.
The Sea King had now become the players' spy in the Underworld Merchant Guild.
According to the Sea King's description, a force was about to arrive in Beiqi.
A force was about to arrive in Beiqi, and their purpose was to investigate the Player Clan's background and inform the Underworld Chamber of Commerce of the situation.
At the same time, the Sea King gave the players a solution.
Because killing this person was completely insignificant to the Underworld Merchant Guild. Therefore, the most important thing was to frighten this person and mislead him into thinking that the Player Clan was extremely powerful so that they could bring the fake news back.
So that the Underworld Merchant Guild would not dare to cause trouble for a short period of time!
After all, the Underworld Merchant Guild that devoured the sea was only a branch. Other than the few higher-ups, the strongest was the War Merchant Guild. Therefore, if they encountered a particularly powerful force, they could only seek help from the central sea and would not dare to take the initiative to attack.
However, what the Sea King did not know was that Yan Mai had already arrived at the Mansion of the Dead.
However, the players in the Kuilong Ocean instantly conveyed the information provided by the Sea King to the players in the Mansion of the Dead by relying on the super long-distance real-time communication function.
At this moment, the players who were ready to kill Yan Mai decided to change their plan and play something else.
…
After a three-hour journey, Yan Mai realized that the surrounding environment had changed drastically as he approached the Mansion of the Dead.
Along the way, there were osmanthus trees planted everywhere and the fragrance of the place filled his nose.
Looking up into the distance, a tall and majestic city stood in the distance.
It was rare to see a city of this scale above the sea. Moreover, in the Underworld where wars were frequent, it was normal for cities to be occupied or plundered. Basically, no force would spend a lot of effort to build a city.
Based on his preconceived notions, Yan Mai felt that the Player Clan must have a strong foundation.
As he approached the gate of the Mansion of the Dead, Yan Mai stopped and began to observe the players entering the city.
He had to be careful. If the Player Clan needed to be inspected or provided with something before entering the city, he could easily expose himself if he did not investigate in advance.
After checking and confirming that the players did not need to go through any procedures to enter the city, Yan Mai plucked up his courage and walked toward the gate of the Mansion of the Dead.
When he arrived at the gate, he glanced around and followed behind a few players who were walking into the city with a calm expression.
However, what he did not know was that the players in front of him were already chatting in the live chat channel.
"Is that the idiot behind you? You're quite good at acting! "
"If it wasn't for analysis, I wouldn't have been able to discover him. His disguise is indeed very good!"
"Hahaha, looking forward to his performance. The bait has taken the bait!"
"He's a Ghost King after all. Everyone, don't laugh so arrogantly. Give him some face, hahaha!"
…
After following these players into the city, Yan Mai was shocked by the prosperity before him.
He had never seen such a bustling city in his life.
The jade-paved road was bustling with people, and the buildings on both sides were beautifully decorated. In the distance, there were fountains and neon lights …
Oats found all of this unbelievable.
The maritime kingdoms he had seen on the islands had never been so prosperous.
Even though this Underworld City was built on land, Yan Mai still found it somewhat inconceivable.
Could it be that this city had never experienced war before?
If it wasn't for the long-term development, Oats didn't believe that the city could have developed to this extent.
Just as Yan Mai was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard two people whispering in front of him.
He immediately took two steps forward and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
"Oh yes, it seems like Chairman Liu slaughtered a God yesterday. He's now left in the East Square of the city. Should we go take a look?"
"Sure, let's go take a look. Speaking of which, this is Chairman Liu's eighth time slaughtering a God. That's really impressive. I wonder when we'll be able to reach this level of strength."
…
Looking at the two players gradually walking away, Yan Mai was dumbfounded.
Slaughtering a God? The eighth time?
Did he think he was slaughtering a chicken?
At this moment, Yan Mai was stunned. Obviously, he couldn't accept the arrogant words of the two players casually saying that they had slaughtered a God.
God-level powerhouses were almost invincible even in the sea.
Even the Sea Spirits mostly had the strength of a demigod. Once they broke through, they would leave the sea and head for the central sea.
In other words, other than the central sea of the underworld, God-level powerhouses represented almost invincible in all the major seas!
Hearing these words, Yan Mai felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow.
Refusing to believe it, he immediately followed behind the two players and walked toward the East Square of the Underworld.
Although Yan Mai was shocked by the prosperity along the way, he wanted to know whether the two players' claim of slaughtering a God was true or not. Or rather, the God that they mentioned was just a name and not a real God!
But soon, he would know whether it was true or not.
Following the two players to the South Square of the city, he saw the enormous body of the Demonic God that was as huge as a mountain.
At this moment, the Demonic God was covered in wounds and looked extremely weak. He lay motionless on the ground.
Seeing this, Yan Mai was completely dumbfounded.
Previously, he was still guessing whether the Gods were real or not. But the moment he saw the Demonic God, his doubts disappeared.
At this moment, the Demonic God exuded a vast aura and the shining God's Seal on his forehead proved that he was a God on the Underworld God List!
This is a f * cking God!
At this moment, Yan Mai felt that the Player Clan was not just powerful. They were so powerful that it was suffocating.
Actually, he had never underestimated the Player Clan. The reason was simple.
Because this was a mission sent by the Underworld Trade Union. If they were a weak force, they would have been destroyed long ago. Why would they need to investigate personally?
But he did not expect the Player Clan to have a powerhouse that could kill a God.
Although the Underworld Trade Union also had such a powerhouse, such powerhouses only existed in the central sea region and not in the other large seas.
This was also the first time he had seen a God-level powerhouse that was seriously injured.
Even standing in front of him, the vast aura caused Yan Mai's body to tremble uncontrollably. It was as if a sea of blood had appeared in front of him, and he had turned into a duckweed, swaying in the waves of blood. It was as if he would be crushed by the huge waves at any time.
While he was extremely shocked, Yan Mai felt uneasy and fear rose in his heart.
At this moment, he had a guess.
The Player Clan was such a powerful force. Now that they dared to challenge the Underworld Trade Union, did that mean that they had the intention to overthrow the Underworld Trade Union and replace it?
At this moment, he had come to investigate on the side of the Underworld Trade Union. If he was discovered, the consequences would be dire.
Trying to survive in the middle of two great forces would only result in being completely crushed and the destruction of his clan!
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Taking a deep breath, Yan Mai turned around and walked towards the city gate.
He could not stay here any longer.
Before coming here, he had thought that it would be a good job, but he did not expect it to be a hot potato. Seeing such a terrifying 'truth' with his own eyes, Yan Mai was extremely anxious.
If the clan was involved in the war, the consequences would be unimaginable. He had to inform the clan leader of this news first.
If a war really broke out between the Player Clan and the Underworld Trade Union, he could only hope that the Illusion Fish Clan would stand in a neutral position and hide far away. They could not be involved, and they could not be misunderstood as siding with the Underworld Trade Union.
It would be fine if the Player Clan was weak. However, it was proven that the Player Clan was not weak, but terrifyingly powerful. How could he watch the Illusion Fish Clan be destroyed because of this!
He had to go back as soon as possible!
On the way back, Yan Mai suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Not far away, a person walked by. This person was holding a jug of wine in each hand, taking two sips with every step he took …
Yan Mai had not seen this person with his own eyes, but he was extremely familiar with his appearance.
It was a portrait that hung in the clan's ancestral worship hall all year round. Every day, he would be led by the clan elder to kowtow to it. How could he not be familiar with it!
At this moment, the first thought in Yan Mai's mind was:
"Fake, it's definitely fake. He died a long time ago. It's just his appearance. Don't be afraid!"
At this moment, Hai Yue, who was shopping, suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Mai, causing him to tremble in fear.
"A member of the Illusion Fish Clan!"
Hearing the woman in front of him call out his origin, Yan Mai was almost scared to tears. He had clearly disguised himself so well. How did she see through him at a glance?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned his head to look around. Fortunately, no players noticed him.
At this moment, Hai Yue took two steps forward and stared at him with her drunken eyes.
"Is your clan leader, 'Phantom Thorn', still alive?"
This sentence scared Yan Mai again. Could it be that his guess was right?
Phantom Thorn was the ancestor of the Illusion Fish Clan. He had been dead for many years. Yan Mai only knew about this ancestor from listening to the clan elders talking about the clan's history.
Back then, the ancestor, Phantom Thorn, followed the woman in the portrait in the ancestral worship hall!
Could this woman before him really be the 'Empress', the overlord of the Nether Sea Nation? An absurd possibility surfaced in Yan Mai's mind.
In Yan Mai's opinion, the legendary 'Empress' had been dead for countless years. Perhaps her corpse had rotted away. How could she still exist!
"You are?" Yan Mai asked in a soft voice.
"Your ancestor, Phantom Thorn, once followed me!"
The words were shocking. Even though Yan Mai had mentally prepared himself, he was still stunned when he heard this.
"Since you are the descendant of an acquaintance, hurry up and leave. Don't expose your identity!"
"Why are you here?" Yan Mai couldn't help but ask.
"Hurry up and leave. I can't save you if you're discovered. Even your clan will be implicated!" Hai Yue glared at him.
Panicking, Yan Mai hurriedly nodded and quickly walked out of the city.
At this moment, Yan Mai had no intention of continuing his investigation. He only wanted to return to the clan as soon as possible and inform them of the news. If possible, he might as well evacuate the entire clan from the Devouring Sea to avoid being implicated.
However, when he reached the city gate, he stopped again.
At this moment, a man clad in armor stood on top of the city gate. Outside the city gate, were thousands of Player Clan members kneeling.
"You've violated the clan rules. Die!"
As the man roared, he threw a punch downward.
In Yan Mai's opinion, this punch was weak and did not have any lethality at all.
But soon, he didn't think so.
The thousands of players below did not even have the time to scream before they were shattered into black mist and dissipated with the wind.
It was as if they had never existed!
Seeing this scene, Yan Mai was stunned on the spot.
At this moment, Liu Chai, who was standing on top of the city gate, turned his head to look at Yan Mai. "President Liu, give me a boxed meal and a chicken drumstick."
Realizing that Liu Chai was looking at him, Yan Mai was so scared that he almost cried.
This place is too scary. I'm scared to death!
I'm still young. I don't want to die!
