The atmosphere in the fault zone froze again. Lu An did not speak, and Huo Yan's emotions gradually stabilized.
Now, Huo Yan finally understood why Lu An said that he would be in pain after knowing his identity. It turned out that it really had something to do with her.
After a long time, Huo Yan stopped crying and was no longer angry. She became very calm. She kept looking at Lu An and suddenly said, "I want to go to the Surface World."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this and said, "There's an array up there. You can't break it."
"What about you?" Huo Yan immediately asked, "You can come down, and from your tone, you can go back. You must have sent that woman back. I want you to take me with you!"
Lu An frowned when he heard this. Although he felt sorry for Huo Yan, there was no room for negotiation on this issue. He refused directly, "No."
Huo Yan's body trembled when she heard this and she asked, "Why?!"
"Because you're not from the Surface World." Lu An said in a deep voice, "If I take you out and someone finds out, my family and I will suffer. I won't risk the safety of my family."
Lu An was right. Although he had a ten-year agreement with the Hachiko clan, Fu Yu also said that the Hachiko clan could find other reasons to attack in advance, including the Underground World. Most of the passages between the Surface World and the Underground World were guarded by the Hachiko clan. There was only one Sengoku. Once Huo Yan was discovered, no matter if it was him, his family, or even Sengoku, they would not be able to escape. He could not harm so many people because of Huo Yan.
Seeing Lu An's determined gaze, Huo Yan was shocked. This gaze was not negotiable, and it destroyed all her hope.
Huo Yan cried again, and tears fell down in big drops. Lu An felt guilty when he saw this, but he had no intention of changing his mind.
"I came here to cultivate." Lu An took a light breath and said softly, "I will leave in a few days. You can pretend that I never existed. In order to repay you for saving me, I will try to find out the reason for the formation of the Dark Underworld Ghost Domain and help you avoid future troubles. "
Hearing Lu An's words, Huo Yan, who was crying with her head lowered, wiped away her tears and looked up at Lu An. There was no light in her red eyes, and she said faintly as if she was in despair, "It's okay, it's not important anymore."
With that, Huo Yan got up and climbed out. Lu An hurriedly asked, "Miss Huo, where are you going?"
"Let's find the passageway to the surface world," Huo Yan said calmly.
"…" Lu An's eyes turned cold as he said, "Even if you find the passage, you won't be able to pass through it. Every passage is guarded by powerful people. You're definitely not their match!"
"What does that matter?" Huo Yan stopped, looked back at Lu An, and said, "At least I can see the people in the outside world."
With that, Huo Yan crawled out of the fault and disappeared from Lu An's sight. Lu An's eyes turned cold. Although his body was a little heavy now, he was actually in his peak condition. He just hadn't had time to adapt to the fourth power in his heart. He hurriedly climbed out of the fault and caught up with Huo Yan.
He didn't feel sorry for Huo Yan, but he was worried that Huo Yan would tell others about the surface world. Right now, he could only use the power of death without restrictions. He hadn't tried to communicate with the power of death in all things in the world, and he hadn't mastered a single move yet. He still needed to stay in the Dark Underworld Ghost Domain for a while. If Huo Yan told others about this, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to leave!
Lu An hurriedly flew out of the fault and landed steadily on the ground. Huo Yan was nowhere to be seen. This shocked Lu An, and he quickly activated his perception to find Huo Yan.
Bang!
Lu An's eyes turned cold, and his Death Perception instantly spread out rapidly! The successful activation of Death Perception made Lu An's body tremble, and he was delighted. This was because in the past, he could only activate it when he was in the realm of the Demon Gods. Now that he had completely broken through the restrictions, he could use it successfully even if he didn't activate the realm of the Demon Gods!
Activating Death Perception in a place full of the power of death was like a water-type Heavenly Master activating his perception in the ocean. He became stronger like a fish in water. Immediately, Lu An sensed Huo Yan's flying figure. He immediately accelerated and chased after her at full speed!
Huo Yan's flying speed wasn't fast because she needed to constantly adjust her direction to avoid deviating from the track. Now, Lu An didn't have to worry about getting lost in the Dark Underworld Ghost Domain. His speed was naturally much faster than Huo Yan's, and he quickly caught up with her.
Whoosh!
Huo Yan was flying close to the ground. Lu An instantly came to her side and overtook her to stop her. Huo Yan was startled when she saw Lu An, and the two of them stopped.
"What are you doing?" Huo Yan looked at Lu An's serious expression. It was obvious that he wasn't going to take her out of the underground world. She asked, "Are you going to shut me up and kill me?"
"You promised not to tell anyone about this." Lu An asked in a serious tone, "Can you still do it now?"
"I'm afraid not." Huo Yan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "If it were anything else, I wouldn't say it. But for this matter, I need someone else's strength to open up the passage to the surface world."
Huo Yan paused, looked at Lu An, and said softly, "Telling you the truth is the only thing I can do."
"…"
Lu An's eyes became even more serious. He would never let others threaten his danger, and he didn't want to return in such a hurry with only one reward. Under the Promise of Ten Years, his cultivation speed was constantly under great pressure. His cultivation speed was the source of his life!
Then, Lu An's eyes turned cold. He took a deep breath and said to Huo Yan, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Before he finished speaking, Lu An instantly attacked the flame that was close at hand!
Lu An's right hand quickly grabbed Huo Yan's neck. The sudden attack, coupled with Lu An's extremely fast speed, made it impossible for Huo Yan to react. Her neck was directly grabbed by Lu An!
With her neck grabbed, Huo Yan couldn't open her mouth to call for help. Even breathing became difficult. Huo Yan hurriedly raised her hands to grab Lu An's right arm, wanting to push him away. However, Lu An's arm had the Imperial Dragon Bone. How could Huo Yan compete with his strength?
Huo Yan was extremely uncomfortable. She felt like she was about to die. Instinctively, she immediately pulled out her short sword from her waist and stabbed it toward Lu An's heart!
However …
Ding!
The extremely sharp tip of the sword stopped right in front of Lu An's heart, but it didn't even pierce an inch.
Huo Yan's almost blurred vision could barely see clearly. Above Lu An's heart in his tattered clothes, there was a layer of ice covering his chest, blocking her sharp sword.
Although she didn't know what it was, Huo Yan didn't want to die. She immediately swung her sword back and stabbed at Lu An again.
This time, Lu An moved his left hand. After dodging, he directly grabbed Huo Yan's wrist. At the same time, he pulled with his right hand, causing Huo Yan's body to instantly lose balance. Her entire body fell to the right behind him.
Lu An seized the opportunity to grab the sword. At the same time, his right hand turned into a hand knife and heavily chopped at the back of Huo Yan's neck.
"Hmph …"
Huo Yan only let out an inaudible groan. Then, her body fell heavily to the ground and she fainted.
Looking at Huo Yan on the ground and the short sword in her left hand, Lu An's expression turned serious. Without a doubt, silencing her was the best and simplest solution. No one would suspect him of killing someone in the Dark Underworld.

Eight hours later.
Forty thousand miles away from the Dark Underworld, in a completely deserted place, Lu An was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed. With his eyes closed, he sensed the Death Force around him and cultivated his own Death Force. During the eight hours of experimenting with the new power, there were many things that surprised him.
The first thing that surprised him was that after he removed the restrictions and integrated the Death Force into his heart and truly became his fourth Fate Wheel, communicating with the Death Force in the heaven and earth became a matter of course. Lu An didn't need to try or cultivate. Lu An could easily control the Death Force in a large area around him and use it for his own use. It was as if the Death Force in his body had been restrained for a long time and couldn't wait to show its strength.
The second thing that surprised Lu An was that in the process of repeatedly releasing the Death Force in his body, Lu An found that the Divine Qi really integrated with the Death Force. What's more, the Divine Qi in his body was even stronger than before! He originally thought that when the Death Force entered his body, it would more or less limit the Divine Qi. He didn't expect that the capacity of the Divine Qi in his blood would increase and the power would become stronger! It was the same for the Death Force. Now, the Death Force in Lu An's body was accumulating rapidly. It was estimated that it would reach the same level as the Divine Qi in a day or two.
However, what shocked him the most was the discovery of the "Spirit".
After his blood had the four completely different attributes of ice, fire, death, and life, the "Spirit" that Lu An had been cultivating began to truly exist in his body. It was faintly showing signs of becoming his fifth Fate Wheel!
