Chapter 125: Something’s Off
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou entered the inner city.
This was quite the delight for the wandering Divine Grievances in the air.
“Finally, the King of Hell has left!”
One even shouted aloud, speaking human language with a hoarse voice.
Once the first one spoke, a second quickly followed suit.
Soon, the entire outer city was filled with eerie laughter.
These vengeful spirits were eager to unleash all their pent-up frustrations at that moment.
Coincidentally, the members of the Angry Heaven Palace were almost all hiding in the outer city of Giant God City.
This directly made the Divine Grievances’ eyes turn bloodshot.
“Kill them, kill them, kill them…”
The voices of the Divine Grievances picked up speed, turning into waves of terrifying sound.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The resting Soul Avoidance Pearls of the Angry Heaven Palace members shattered at that moment.
As their Soul Avoidance Pearls broke, the Divine Grievances swooped down.
The members of the Angry Heaven Palace looked stunned.
“Ugh…”
Without the help of the Soul Avoidance Pearls, they were suddenly wrapped up by the Divine Grievances.
Those spirits even began to seize the bodies of the Angry Heaven Palace members.
The scene turned gruesome…
…
Meanwhile, the vice leader of the Angry Heaven Palace was reading a report from his subordinates.
It stated that the members on the outskirts had encountered a mishap.
All the members of the Angry Heaven Palace had been ambushed by an unknown force.
In the end, the vice leader, along with the Twelve Heavens, went to investigate.
However, the results were shocking.
Those who hunted the Angry Heaven Palace were from the Hall of Yama.
The vice leader looked at the three characters “Hall of Yama” and couldn’t help but frown.
He turned to the Eye of the Void and asked, “What does this mean?”
The eye in the void gazed at the characters “Hall of Yama,” paused for a moment, and then shook its head.
“Although history may have some discrepancies, the general direction is correct. Our members on the outskirts were all minor ones.”
“This point is of no concern. As long as nothing unexpected happens in Giant God City, everything is controllable!”
Just then, another panicked person burst into the hall.
“Vice leaders! It’s bad! Our brothers in Giant God City were almost instantly wiped out, and even the five masters are unaccounted for!”
The vice leader fell silent.
The eye in the void also went silent.
Then the vice leader waved his hand, signaling for that person to leave.
Once the person was gone, the vice leader looked at the eye again.
“What did you find?”
The eye vanished for a moment before reappearing.
“The Divine Grievances in the outer city have gone berserk, and our brothers died at their hands. Moreover, the Five Fury reached the inner city. You should send people to the inner city; the inner city is where all the low-level cultivators gather. We can net them all at once!”
The vice leader nodded.
“How many do we send in this time?”
The eye thought for a moment and said, “Five hundred thousand!”
The vice leader’s eyes widened.
“Half the people?! What if they all die?”
The eye scoffed.
“Don’t worry, the three ‘Heavens’ are in the inner city. Our people will be taken in by them.”
“Everything is controllable!”
Vice leader: “…”
Alright then.
If you say it’s controllable, we’ll proceed as you say.
…
After entering the inner city, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou exchanged glances.
They both wondered if they had come to the wrong place.
Because this so-called inner city was like a small world.
Even stranger, there were people—normal people.
More accurately, it resembled a human world.
There were horse-drawn carriages and ox carts on the road.
Farmers mingled with heroes, and students were even out studying.
Is this really a secret realm?
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou found it hard to believe.
At this moment, the old man, their servant, spoke up, “In this Cave Heaven, there is true equality among all, because no matter how you were treated outside, here, you are…”
Before he could finish, he gaped.
He saw Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou manipulating their magical power with no obstacles.
Their cultivation levels hadn’t been affected at all.
“How is this possible?!”
The old man tried to use his own magic power, but it was firmly suppressed.
He was utterly dumbfounded.
“You two, who exactly are you heavenly beings?”
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou chorused, “Hall of Yama, King of Hell!”
The old man: “…”
Well, he could only admit how impressive the King of Hell was.
At that moment, Liu Shunyi asked the old man, “How much do you know about this world?”
The old man shook his head.
“Not much!”
Liu Shunyi narrowed his eyes.
“Is that so?”
The old man nodded.
“That’s true, but I know the basics, such as where we currently are: it should be called Liangzhou!”
“As for anything more, I know very little!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Let’s go; first, we need to find a place to rest!”
————
The final three entered a tavern in Liangzhou City.
During their journey, Liu Shunyi noticed something.
This was a Cave Heaven, and the richness of the spiritual energy was simply unimaginable.
Even the herbs that caught the attention of both Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were plentiful on the roadside!
Little master, there’s more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading; the following is even more exciting!
But in such an environment, none of these people had any cultivation.
Even some martial artists, although they instinctively absorbed spiritual energy through physical training, Liu Shunyi noted that the highest cultivation among them only reached Foundation Establishment.
And even that Foundation Establishment cultivator looked distinctly formidable.
Everyone avoided him as they passed.
“This is kind of distorted!” Liu Shunyi remarked.
Zhao Gou was equally vexed.
“The most crucial thing is, these people are all sick, and it’s a peculiar kind of sickness!”
Liu Shunyi’s eyes widened.
“What sickness?”
Zhao Gou whispered, “Rather than a sickness, it’s more like a curse; this curse seems to erode their spiritual roots and corrupt their spiritual senses, almost intentionally stopping them from cultivating.”
Liu Shunyi felt curious.
“Can you treat it?”
Zhao Gou rarely shook his head.
“I can’t cure it with my current abilities.”
This surprised Liu Shunyi.
It was the first time he heard Zhao Gou say there was a sickness he couldn’t treat.
Zhao Gou explained, “This curse is a highly sophisticated technique. I have the means to treat it, but lack the capacity, since this curse has likely persisted for years and integrated itself into their bloodlines. To treat it, one would need immense magic power to crush them hundreds of times.”
Liu Shunyi was startled.
“What the heck did these people do to deserve such a curse?!”
But no one responded.
“Come here…”
Suddenly, Liu Shunyi felt as if he was hearing things.
He heard a woman’s voice.
Liu Shunyi glanced around uncertainly.
“Come, come to me… I’ll be waiting for you by the river!”
This time, Liu Shunyi was sure he wasn’t imagining things.
He looked around but saw no one and chose to ignore it.
“Come… I have something to give you…”
Once again, the woman’s voice rang out.
Liu Shunyi glanced at the golden scroll of the road and noticed a green name appearing. Without thinking twice, he activated the Burning Blood Divine Fist slightly, and that green name vanished in an instant.
