"Report."
A shout broke the silence in the tent. The two of them woke up from the silence and looked outside. Li Zhiping said, "Come in!"
The next moment, the soldier at the entrance walked in and stood in front of Li Zhiping. He said, "Marshal, we have just received news that the soldiers of the three empires have returned. They also said that they will not attack Hongtian Empire for the next ten years."
Li Zhiping, "…"
The middle-aged general, "…"
This came too suddenly. Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about how to deal with the situation in the capital. Who knew that something like this would happen first?
However …
"Why did the three empires suddenly withdraw their troops? There is no accurate information about the reason behind their withdrawal!" As the marshal of an army, if he didn't know the real reason why the other party withdrew their troops, he wouldn't return so hastily.
If that was the case, he wouldn't have reached where he was today, becoming a prince and marshal of an empire.
Towards Li Zhiping's question, the kneeling soldier hesitated. He did find out that the other party had withdrawn their troops. However, the news was too … too strange and impossible. He didn't dare to say it.
"Hmm?"
Li Zhiping noticed the soldier's expression and frowned. "Tell me, what's going on?"
The moment he said those words, the soldier tilted his body and nodded his head in response. "The news that we received previously was due to someone taking the initiative to stop them on their way to the Hongtian Empire. After which, they killed... several hundred thousand of their men and threatened the Marshals of the three empires to not invade the Hongtian Empire for the time being.
"What?" Li Zhiping was stunned. Is it possible for one person to kill hundreds of thousands of people?
Is it possible? Furthermore, it is related to Hongtian Empire. No matter how he thought about it, this matter might have something to do with Lin Ray and the others.
"No … no, Fan Jun, he …" Suddenly, Li Zhiping thought of a possibility.
Now, this matter had occurred here, and Fan Jun had appeared in the royal capital. Didn't this mean that his time had come?!
In addition … he could sense that there was a pair of hands pulling the strings behind all of this, and this person was naturally Linley.
As he imagined this, a happy smile appeared on his originally cold and hesitant face. His previous doubts had been completely resolved and he no longer cared about the matters of the capital city.
Previously, he hadn't fallen out with Hong Zhi because of the matter at the border. Now that the matter at the border had been resolved, he believed that with Lin Ray around, the other empires wouldn't dare to invade for a while.
"Go, assemble the border troops. Tell the reinforcements you brought this time to bring their own things and accompany this king to the capital."
As he spoke, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. "This time, it's time to settle what happened back then."
A million miles away, Lin Ray was being led by Zhong Li to the entrance to the Underworld that Zhong Li had mentioned.
Within the mountain range, Lin Ray and the others left the cliff and looked up. Before, the continuous mountain range was quite majestic, and this world's unique spiritual qi made Lin Ray feel very comfortable.
"Where is the entrance?"
Lin Ray asked. At this moment, they were at a cliff and Zhong Li said that this was the entrance. Then …
As he thought about this, he looked down at the bottom of the cliff. It was pitch black and there was a lingering fog.
"It can't be …" As he spoke, Zhong Li pointed down and expressed his guess.
Looking at Lin Ray, Zhong Li nodded and said, "Senior, this is the entrance to the Underworld. It is also below where the mutated beasts live."
As expected!
Hearing this, Lin Ray understood. However, he didn't expect that the entrance to the Underworld would be in such a place. Moreover, there were mutated beasts …
As he thought about this, he turned to look at the Flaming Tiger. "I've given you the mutated beast. Are you confident?"
"Yes, of course!"
The Flaming Tiger didn't even think and promised, "Brother Lei, who am I? I am your most loyal subordinate. You have to believe me."
As it spoke, it looked down and an undetectable murderous intent began to brew in its eyes.
"Heh, this fellow!"
Looking at the Flaming Tiger's battle intent, he was amused. He really didn't care about mutated beasts. However, he just found out that there was a huge existence below.
If there were only mutated beasts and the entrance, he might not be so worried. However …
As a Saint Level Array Master, he knew too well how malleable Zhen Da could be. However, the power of an array was too many. One moment, it was a trap array. The next moment, it could become a shocking killing array.
At this moment, he could only pray that the Flaming Tiger wouldn't be too rash and fail to prove itself.
"Sigh."
He shook his head helplessly and looked at Zhong Li. Then, he picked her up and nodded to the Flaming Tiger beside him before jumping down.
"Huff, huff, huff."
On the way down, a gust of wind flashed past. Lin Ray, who had a defense, didn't notice anything. However, Zhong Li didn't.
She had a defense, but … it was too weak. It was equivalent to having nothing.
The fasting period was not worth mentioning in front of this gust of wind. In comparison, seeing Zhong Li in such a state, Lin Ray waved his hand and a stream of Saint Spiritual Qi covered Zhong Li's body.
Suddenly, the feeling of being torn apart disappeared and was replaced by a warm feeling. The wound that was torn apart earlier was also slowly recovering under this energy.
He turned to the Flaming Tiger and said, "Flaming Tiger, let's go down and see what's going on. I have a feeling that it's not that simple!"
The Flaming Tiger didn't hesitate. He also felt that this was just a cliff and there was such a strong energy. From the wind, he could feel that it was at least the power of the Nascent Soul Realm. Although it was slow, it was real.
"Don't worry, Brother Lei!"
Then, he quickly fell down. He wanted to see what was below. Moreover … Just now, he vaguely felt the suppression from the bloodline. Although the feeling was brief, it was real.
"Hmph, little guy. You're lucky that you're so presumptuous in front of me. See how I'll deal with you when I find you later!"
With indignation in his heart, his body returned to its original form. The falling speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of Lin Ray.
"How deep is this cliff? It's just a little bit. Why does it feel like it's endless?"
Looking down, Lin Ray muttered to himself. He didn't notice it just now. However, when he saw Flaming Tiger returning to its original form and disappearing after falling, he couldn't help but suspect that there was something strange about this place.
"System, investigate this place."
"Okay."
The system didn't say much. It seemed that it had also noticed that there was something different about this place. So …
It seemed that he had to be careful!
With that thought, the Chaos Dragon Spear appeared in his hand and he was ready for battle. This action made Zhong Li even more nervous!
