Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Netherworld Realm

"You’re all here!" With that, Wang Tian’s gaze settled on the six in Xiao Tianyu’s group as he spoke lightly.

"Mm." Xiao Tianyu nodded.

"Good, then we’ll set off now." As his voice fell, the three Saint Children of the Luoshen Sect stepped into the air one after another, landing on the back of the Great Demon. Xiao Tianyu’s group naturally followed along, only Xiao Tianyu was somewhat surprised that the Luoshen Sect had brought just three people.

Those three were, of course, Wang Tian, Wang Chuan, and Wang You.

As for disciples of the other Nine Peaks, they hadn’t brought a single one.

This made quite a few people extremely envious of the Xiao Sect’s group, but envy was useless. Ever since the battle two years ago involving the Great Li Dynasty, the talent of the Xiao Sect’s group was known to all—each one a monstrous genius on par with those who could suppress an era.

Very soon, under the gazes of all the Luoshen Sect members, the terrifying Great Demon spread its wings and flew straight toward the Luoshen Sect’s Teleportation Platform. The vast platform lit up, stirring a sigh in Xiao Tianyu’s heart: the Luoshen Sect really was wealthy.

Constructing a single Teleportation Platform required an endless amount of resources, and each use burned through a large number of Spirit Stones.

Moreover, the Luoshen Sect had built such a massive platform that even this terrifying Great Demon could be transmitted through it. Xiao Tianyu simply couldn’t imagine how many cultivation resources it had taken to construct a Teleportation Platform of this scale.

Hum~

Gales howled as the Great Demon circled above the platform, then vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

...

Netherworld Realm.

The Netherworld Realm’s weather was abnormally cold, and the sun could not be seen all day, as if this realm had been forgotten by the sun itself. Yet the people of the Netherworld Realm all had very fair, tender skin.

Even the men were extraordinarily pale. However, those born in the Netherworld Realm all carried rather heavy Evil Qi on their bodies.

The Luo Realm was the main realm of the Netherworld Realm, the most prosperous area of the Netherworld, and the place where the most experts gathered. Within the Luo Realm were over a hundred cities.

Wuyou City.

Wuyou City was one of those hundred cities in the Luo Realm.

At this moment, above Wuyou City, a Great Demon was circling. Seated upright on its back was a group of youths—none other than Xiao Tianyu, Wang Tian... and the others who had been in transit for several days. Finally, the group rose into the air and descended to the ground.

"Let’s just find an inn, rest for a day, then talk." Wang Tian said. "Also, we need to find a map."

Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu and the others nodded. After all, the Netherworld Realm was unfamiliar territory to them. Without a map, they simply wouldn’t be able to find where the relic was located.

At once, the group casually picked an inn to stay in.

"It’s really cold here." After entering the inn, Xiao Tianyu cast a glance at Mo Qingluan and said, "You command Space Dao Intent as well as Cold Ice Dao Intent. This place is actually very suitable for your cultivation."

"I’m not cultivating in a place like this." Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes swept around. Seeing how the men here were all excessively pale, almost like hermaphrodites, she thought that if she had to look at these people every day, she’d be disgusted to death sooner or later.

"Wang You, go ask around and see where we can buy a map of the Netherworld Realm." Wang Tian spoke at this moment.

"Alright." Wang You nodded. Bai Bufan stepped forward a pace. "I’ll go with you."

"Stop right there." Xiao Tianyu said. "You, usually your pride is through the roof. If you go, I’m afraid you’ll cause trouble."

Bai Bufan: "..."

He really wanted to say, When have I ever been proud? I’m very humble, alright? Sect Leader, do you even know me?

But Xiao Tianyu didn’t bother with him. His gaze shifted to Jian Wushuang at his side. "Wushuang, you go with Wang You."

"Mm." Jian Wushuang nodded, rose to his feet, and left the inn alongside Wang You, while Xiao Tianyu, Wang Tian, and the others casually found a spot to sit and waited for news.

"Gentlemen, you don’t look like people of the Netherworld Realm, do you?" Just then, a fair-skinned young man walked over, his gaze sweeping across Xiao Tianyu’s group. Seeing their remarkable bearing, he revealed a faint smile.

Then his eyes carefully assessed Xiao Tianyu and the others.

Wang Tian, in scholar’s garb, yet with a unique air about him.

Xiao Tianyu, naturally needed no words.

Mo Qingluan, stunningly beautiful.

Lihen Heaven and Wang Chuan, both with cold temperaments and eyes like swords—definitely two terrifying sword-cultivator prodigies.

Li Fei, with a burly frame and a body brimming with a sense of power.

There was also an elder whom the youth couldn’t see through; he figured this one’s cultivation must be quite high. In the youth’s opinion, the bearing of these people was rare even in the Netherworld Realm.

Xiao Tianyu and the others turned their eyes, fixing them on the newcomer.

Wang Tian spoke. "We’re from the Yanzhou Realm. May I ask what you need?"

"I wouldn’t dare to say ’need’." The youth answered with a smile like a spring breeze, not looking at all like some treacherous sort. He continued, "Recently, you gentlemen are already the second group to come from the Yanzhou Realm. I suppose you’re all here for the relic?"

"Indeed."

Wang Tian responded without the slightest attempt to hide it. He knew there was no need to conceal their purpose, and even if they tried, the other party could easily guess.

As for what the youth had said about them being the second group—

Wang Tian and the others didn’t have to think to know the first group must have been people from the Great Li Dynasty, the Fengtian Hall, and Shenxiao Valley, those three powers.

"I am Shen Lang, a native of Wuyou City. I’m also preparing to head to the relic site. Since we’ve met here, why not come to my home as guests? It’ll give me a chance to fulfill my duties as host." Shen Lang spoke with a cheerful smile, quite straightforward.

Hearing this, Wang Tian and the others exchanged a glance. In such an unfamiliar place, if someone could lead them toward the relic, it would save a great deal of trouble. Furthermore, the other party clearly bore no malice.

At their level, they were generally quite accurate when judging people.

Thus, Wang Tian said, "You know where the relic is located, then?"

"To be honest, I’ve only heard it’s on the Celestial Island. As for the exact position of the Celestial Island, I’m not too clear. Please forgive me." Shen Lang smiled wryly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tian and the others were rather surprised.

Xiao Tianyu said, "It’s just that we don’t know where in the Netherworld Realm we can get a map."

"Maps of the Netherworld Realm are very scarce and hard to come by. And recently, because of the Celestial Island relic, maps have become even more of a hot commodity. However, there is one place that should have them." Shen Lang replied with a smile. "It’s just that without status, it’s hard to get inside."

"What place?" Wang Tian asked.

"Longtian Palace of Western Mountain." The youth looked at Wang Tian and said, "Longtian Palace of Western Mountain lies in the central region of the Luo Realm, three thousand li from here. It’s the largest trading venue in the Luo Realm. However, anyone qualified to enter Longtian Palace of Western Mountain is a person of great status in the Netherworld Realm. Though you gentlemen have extraordinary bearing, you are, after all, foreign visitors..."

"There’s no need for Brother Shen to worry about that." Wang Tian answered with a gentle smile, entirely the picture of a scholarly type, looking nothing like someone versed in cultivation.

"In that case, I’ll take you there."

"No rush, I still have two friends who haven’t returned yet." Xiao Tianyu said.

Not long after, Wang You and Jian Wushuang returned to the inn, both with rather helpless expressions, clearly having achieved nothing.

Which wasn’t surprising—maps were so scarce now that it was basically impossible to buy one in Wuyou City.
