After making their decision, the two of them sat down and waited for Zhu's return. After all, he had been sealed for so many years, it was understandable for him to be so crazy.
Time slowly passed. After three days and three nights, Zhu finally returned. Not only did he return, but he also brought many heavenly treasures with him. Of course, in Lin Ray's opinion, they were useless. After all, there were no high-grade heavenly treasures in the Empty Underworld Region. However, there should be some in the Underworld.
"Alright, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, the Emperor would have been sealed for who knows how many years. Perhaps when the Emperor reaches the end of his lifespan, I'm afraid that …" He shrugged his shoulders and did not continue speaking.
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. For a moment, Lin Ray quickly opened his mouth to break the oppressive atmosphere. "That, look at you. You've been out for three days and three nights. We've been waiting here for such a long time."
"Back then, you were too fast. You haven't told me how to enter the Underworld."
These words hit the nail on the head. Previously, he had searched for it but unfortunately, he could not find it at all. He did not even sense the fluctuation of the array, which made him very disappointed.
Upon hearing this, Zhu smiled as if he had already guessed it. "The Underworld is very dangerous. Do you really want to go in?"
"Yes, that's right!" They nodded without hesitation.
"Of course. I've heard so much from you. There are many experts in there. Of course, we have to go in and experience it. Otherwise, this trip to the Empty Underworld Region would have been in vain!" Xiao Hu said, looking very excited.
"Heh, alright!"
Zhu nodded with a smile. Since they wanted to go in, he would not stop them. He took a step forward, passing by Lin Ray and Xiao Hu, and walked towards the stone wall in the distance.
Eh?
Looking at Zhu's figure, Lin Ray and Xiao Hu hesitated for a moment before following him. They had already checked the stone wall in front of them. There was nothing special about it.
"Open!"
When they arrived in front of the stone wall, they could sense Lin Ray and Xiao Hu's aura behind them. Their smile grew wider. They raised their hand and placed it on the stone wall. With a low shout, the stone wall suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an energy vortex.
"F * ck!"
When this scene appeared, Lin Ray could not help but curse out loud. He could not understand why he had failed to detect it, but Zhu had …
"This is a passageway to another world. If you were to probe it like you did with a formation, you would not be able to find it at all. No matter how powerful your spiritual power is, it would not be of any use. Because … it is completely useless. I believe you have already experienced it."
With these words, he took a step back and stepped out of the way of the energy vortex. Then, he quietly looked at Lin Ray and Nie Tian.
"You … aren't going in with us?" Lin Ray asked doubtfully as he looked at the candle behind them.
Hearing Lin Ray's words, the Scarlet Flame Tiger turned to look at Zhu with the same puzzled look.
"You …"
The two people's puzzled gazes caused Zhu's body to tremble. "I say, if you want to go in, then go in. Why do you have to drag me in?"
"I'm telling you, I'm not going. This is your problem, so don't even think about dragging me into it!"
"Now, I can be considered to be temporarily free. Naturally, I will not return to that old man's place." With these words, he did not wait for Lin Ray and Nie Tian's reaction. He turned around and walked away.
Looking at the departing Zhu, Lin Ray smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Forget it. Originally, I wanted to go in and help you find a way to completely undo the formation. Now, it seems like … tsk, I was thinking too much!"
"That's right. Of all the things we could do inside, why do we have to worry about this?" Understanding Lin Ray's thoughts, the Scarlet Flame Tiger tacitly agreed. They seemed to be talking to each other, but in reality, they were all talking to Zhu!
"Little Tiger, let's go. We just need to walk around the Underworld. As for the heavenly treasures, we can use our things to exchange for them. As for the method to undo the formation, forget it. I'm too lazy to look for it."
"Let's go!" With these words, Zhu stepped into the energy vortex.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, an aura appeared in an instant. It was accompanied by Zhu's voice. "How can that be!"
"No matter what, the Emperor has been here for so many years. He can be considered a local. Since the two of you have come here, the Emperor should do his part as a host!"
With these words, Zhu grabbed Lin Ray with one hand and the Scarlet Flame Tiger's thigh with the other. Suddenly, the two of them felt light and the three of them disappeared into the energy vortex.
"Weng!"
The moment the three of them disappeared, the energy vortex disappeared and the stone wall returned to its previous appearance. It was as if the vortex had never appeared. It was as if what had appeared before was just an illusion.
The only difference was that the ferocious beast that was originally guarding this place no longer existed. The Underworld was destined to become turbulent because of the arrival of Lin Ray and the other two.
Ouyang Zhen, who was far away in Heavenly King Hong, looked at the scene of war below. Although he wanted to help the unrelated people, he ignored them when he thought of Lin Ray's orders.
As for the karma, he no longer cared about it. As long as he entered the Saint Realm, the karma would no longer exist.
Outside the capital, Li Zhiping returned with the army. Looking at the ruined city, he felt helpless. When he received Aunt Meng's letter, he rushed back without stopping. He didn't expect that he would still be too late.
As for the destruction of the city, it was completely caused by Fan Jun. Previously, he had killed all the civil and military officials except for the people on Li Zhiping's side.
Afterwards, in order to clear out the obstacles, Fan Jun fought his way to the Imperial Palace. He wanted to kill Hong Zhi, but who would have thought that a few black-clothed people would appear? They were extremely powerful. According to Fan Jun's estimations, they were much stronger than Li Zhiping. Behind those black-clothed people were a dozen or so black-clothed people. This made Fan Jun even more serious.
With such strength, it would be easy for them to overthrow the Hongtian Imperial Dynasty. Why didn't they do it? In the end, they even captured Hong Zhi. This made Fan Jun feel very uncomfortable. However, Fan Jun heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he didn't relax for long. The army on Hong Zhi's side received the news from somewhere and started to attack the capital. Fan Jun, who only had 30,000 soldiers, had no choice but to appear.
Three days and three nights. After fighting for three days and three nights, it could be said that Fan Jun was like a man holding back ten thousand men. He charged into the enemy camp and was successful in every endeavor.
In the end, more than half of the 30,000 soldiers were killed. Finally, the enemy retreated temporarily. Fan Jun, perhaps due to exhaustion, directly lay down on the mountain of corpses and fell into a deep sleep.
After that, Hong Zhi's army didn't invade for a short time. Fan Jun heaved a sigh of relief. If they came again, although he could still resist, the remaining few thousand people wouldn't be as lucky as him.
Thinking of the 23,600 people who died because of the war, Fan Jun's heart ached.
The guilt towards the 23,600 soldiers made Fan Jun a little breathless. However, at least Li Zhiping … was finally back. He could finally put down the burden on his shoulders.
