Chapter 1111: Chapter 264: Targeted
Bo Bo Sheep shrank its neck, its pair of black bean-like eyes scanning all around.
So eerie, there’s always this foreboding feeling.
"What’s wrong?" Yun Sheng noticed Bo Bo’s strange behavior.
"Dear Master, Bo Bo hates it here, always feels like soone is watching us," Bo Bo Sheep pouted, deftly burrowing into Yun Sheng’s clothes.
"The Netherworld is different from the Human World, you probably just aren’t used to the environnt," Yun Sheng dismissed it, following the crowd and walking through the East Wei Gate.
While being inspected, Yun Sheng deliberately asked the skull soldiers of East Wei Gate where the Netherworld Ghost King lived.
Unexpectedly, those skull soldiers glared at Yun Sheng fiercely when they heard her inquire about the whereabouts of the Netherworld Ghost King, not only did they not answer, but they also urged her to leave quickly.
"Dear Master, the pompous Realm God of the Netherworld and the Netherworld Ghost King have been rivals for many years. These skull soldiers are subordinates of the Netherworld God, so asking them about the Netherworld Ghost King’s whereabouts is indeed inappropriate." After Bo Bo ca into the world, its mory gradually returned, knowing a bit about the Netherworld.
The existence of a Realm God is to maintain the balance between realms.
Sothing like the Netherworld Ghost Key, which can break the barriers between realms, is essentially against the will of the Realm God, and the creator of the Netherworld Ghost Key is the Netherworld Ghost King.
The Netherworld Ghost King and the Netherworld God coexisted peacefully for many years, not because they were friends or got along well, but because the Netherworld Ghost King was very powerful.
So they appear to be two major figures in the Netherworld, but privately, they don’t get along at all.
And this animosity extends to their subordinates as well.
Moreover, the Netherworld Ghost King is known for his capricious personality and transient lifestyle, often wandering to other realms; finding him is truly no easy task.
"This makes finding the Netherworld Ghost King much more challenging," Yun Sheng felt troubled, wondering whether she should simply use the Netherworld Ghost Key to summon the Netherworld Ghost King.
But rembering Ji Ru Mo’s earlier warning not to use the Netherworld Ghost Key, she hesitated.
"Dear Master, you don’t have to worry too much. Although the Netherworld Ghost King’s whereabouts are unpredictable, there is a place in the Netherworld called the Divine Power Pavilion. It is said that there, as long as you can afford it, you can find out any information. However, the Divine Power Pavilion is only located in a few major counties’ capitals in the Netherworld. We have to reach the nearest capital first to find the Divine Power Pavilion," Bo Bo Sheep’s words reminded Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng purchased a map of the Netherworld from the skull soldiers at East Wei Gate.
Upon reviewing the map, Yun Sheng discovered that the Netherworld is very different from the Human World; it doesn’t have fixed nations, only the Eight Great Netherworld Counties.
Different Netherworld Counties are guarded by various local factions.
Since Yun Sheng wanted to go to the Divine Power Pavilion, she had to head to the nearest Netherworld County from East Wei Gate, Jimo County.
Most people entering the Netherworld from East Wei Gate have Jimo County as their first stop.
Yun Sheng noticed that between Jimo County and East Wei Gate lies a vast forest called Wei Wu Forest, which spans several mountain ranges, covering a journey of hundreds of miles.
It was currently dayti; if she hurried, she might reach Jimo County in three days.
Gazing at the map, Yun Sheng pondered whether to set off imdiately.
What Yun Sheng didn’t know was that after pocketing the gold coins and passing through East Wei Gate, several malicious eyes had set on her.
A young single woman, even in Wuji Continent, was extrely conspicuous, let alone in the Netherworld where the male-to-female ratio reached ten to one.
"Tsk tsk, what a pretty girl, couldn’t have thought there’d be such a prize among the new arrivals. Boss, this ti we ought to strike it rich," whispering in the shadows spying on Yun Sheng were a dozen martial artists and mages.
These people looked shifty and sneaky, definitely not good characters.
East Wei Gate being the first main area for Human World criminals arriving in the Netherworld, was always haunted by so punks and crooks specializing in making fast money.
Most of them belonged to a dark sect called Wanyan Sect, perpetually lurking around East Wei Gate, targeting newcors unfamiliar with the Netherworld, tricking them into remote areas, robbing and killing them, committing all sorts of cris.
The martial artists and mages eyeing Yun Sheng were from Wanyan Sect.
"Indeed, everything’s good at East Wei Gate, except there aren’t many living won. Though West Wei Gate has plenty of pretty female ghosts, sadly, humans and ghosts are on separate paths, and we can’t befriend female ghosts," saying this, those of Wanyan Sect ogled greedily.
"That woman’s prowess looks feeble, Boss, let’s first trick her into Weiwu Forest, have ourselves a good ti, and afterwards sell her to Golden Tower," the minions could practically see countless soul stones dancing before their eyes.
These minions could walk around the area, implying they had so acun. They’d already noticed the punishnt brand on Yun Sheng’s hand, though it only bore a "ten" symbol.
The punishnt brand left by the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao on heavy criminals symbolized the number of murders committed, the higher the number, the greater the misdeeds, and generally speaking, the easier it is to survive in the Netherworld.
On Yun Sheng’s magic brand, there’s only the character "ten," in these East Wei Capital punks’ view, she unquestionably belonged to the weak light punishnt criminals, sohow offended soone and ended up exiled in the Netherworld. Among these people, even the worst bore the responsibility for dozens of lives.
Yun Sheng tucked away the map and was about to rise when her brow furrowed, and suddenly five or six people sprang up around her.
"What do you gentlen want?" Yun Sheng asked warily; fighting was not allowed near East Wei Gate, and these people did not seem like newcors to the Netherworld.
"Miss, I am Ci Hu from Wanyan Sect. Judging by your appearance, you seem headed to Wei Wu Forest? That forest isn’t simple; inside it’s treacherous with many frightening demon plants. Many who enter never return. A delicate girl like you getting hurt isn’t good," said the leader, a martial artist in his thirties, his skin gleaming with a tallic sheen, his combat energy cultivation exceptionally high.
"Wanyan Sect?" Yun Sheng silently studied the group, noticing they wore identical martial artist and mage robes with a Yama Gold Mask embroidered on their chests, its mouth bared with fangs.
"Wanyan Sect is one of the three major forces in Jimo County; Miss, for just one hundred soul stones of Ninth-level Demon Beasts, we can escort you to Jimo County. See, over there are dozens of newcors already arranging for our escort," as he said this, he pointed behind him, indeed, nurous new martial artists and mages to the Netherworld awaited departure in a group.
