Qing Mengmeng took a deep breath and began to explain the entire process. 𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Qing Heng and the other elders were surprised to hear about the mysterious expert.
Old Man Tang took the opportunity to express his thoughts. “I believe he has just arrived in the Netherworld. He clearly has no idea about the situation in the Netherworld.”
Qing Heng said calmly. “You are right. There have been many people arriving recently. This one could be a fish that slipped through the net.”
His expression turned serious as he glared at Qing Mengmeng. “You are lucky this time. Do you know the consequences if something goes wrong?”
“I know, father.” Qing Mengmeng expressed regret. It would have been fine if something had happened to her alone, but she almost killed her Grandpa Tang.
“You will stay in your courtyard from now on. You are not allowed to leave your courtyard for ten years.” Qing Heng said coldly.
Qing Mengmeng couldn’t do anything in this situation and could only comply. “Yes, father.”
“Go.” Qing Heng waved his hand and instructed a servant to escort Qing Mengmeng away.
He then fixed his gaze on Ji Daiyu. “You are very brave.”
His voice was calm, but Ji Daiyu felt like thousands of mountains were pressing down on his head.
Ji Daiyu gritted his teeth and said. “You can try.”
A murderous intent flashed in Qing Heng’s eyes. His aura suddenly surged.
Bang!
Ji Daiyu was slapped across the face and sent flying, hitting the wall before crashing to the ground. His body twitched violently, like a fish flailing on the shore.
“Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?” Qing Heng spoke in a cold tone.
“Calm down, patriarch. He still holds some values.” The first elder quickly said.
Qing Heng glanced at Old Man Tang and said. “Send a message to Ji Xiong. If he doesn’t want to see his son’s head tomorrow, he should bring my daughter over.”
Old Man Tang hesitated briefly before responding. “Yes, patriarch.”
He was quite sure that the Ji Clan would never compromise, but it was not the right place to voice his opinion. He turned around and left.
The first elder frowned slightly and said. “Patriarch…”
Qing Heng raised his hand to signal him to stop. “I know what to do. He has little value, but that doesn’t mean Ji Xiong won’t care about him.”
The first elder didn’t say anything further.
Qing Heng thought for a moment and said. “Send someone to check on that person. If possible, bring him over.”
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the first elder. He seemed to understand Qing Heng’s intention.

“It’s not much different from a human city, huh?” Yun Lintian arrived at a massive city gate with the words “Southern Capital City” engraved.
After paying the toll, Yun Lintian walked into the city immediately. Unexpectedly, the scene in front of him differed from what he had imagined.
Yun Lintian expected the streets to be bustling with people, but they were deserted. A few people could be seen walking around, appearing very cautious.
Yun Lintian suddenly remembered that many people had been recently recruited into the army. Perhaps the people here had long fled.
He rubbed his head, unsure of what to do next. It was truly difficult for him to find information in this situation.
“Forget it. Let’s try the old method.” Yun Lintian spoke to himself as he searched for an inn to stay in.
Yun Lintian walked along the street until he found an inn. As he entered the building, the innkeeper immediately looked at him with a strange expression.
Yun Lintian glanced at the empty dining hall and sighed inwardly. It seemed that he had to leave the city and head straight to the bridge.
He looked at the innkeeper and asked. “Where did the people go?”
The innkeeper immediately understood. He quickly replied. “They have already escaped, sir. You should leave as well.”
“Is there a place where I can find information?” Yun Lintian asked further.
The innkeeper shook his head. “There is no such thing. However, you can try asking me first. Perhaps I know something.”
Yun Lintian threw five low-grade spirit stones at the innkeeper and said, “Keep it.”
With that, he turned around and left.
The innkeeper was dumbfounded. He hastily grabbed the spiritual stones and chased after Yun Lintian. However, Yun Lintian was no longer present.
“What a strange person.” The innkeeper murmured to himself.
Yun Lintian walked along the street for a while and eventually decided to leave because there was nothing interesting to see. He didn’t expect the trip to be a waste of time.
Yun Lintian didn’t choose the same city gate he came in through; instead, he went to the eastern gate. Upon leaving the city, he immediately noticed a powerful group of ghosts. There were five people, and each of them was in the Divine Sovereign Realm.
He didn’t think much about it and walked away.
“Stop!” One of the five Divine Sovereigns shouted coldly.
Yun Lintian stopped in his tracks and let out a sigh. Why did he keep encountering this kind of situation?
He turned around and pretended to be confused. “What’s wrong, senior?”
The ghost, who had been speaking, stared at Yun Lintian momentarily and then said, “You shouldn’t go in that direction. There is currently a large-scale war at the border.”
Yun Lintian was surprised, and he cupped his fists. “Many thanks, senior. This junior shall leave first.”
With that, he changed direction and briskly walked away.
“What’s wrong?” Another Divine Sovereign asked curiously as he looked at Yun Lintian’s vanishing figure.
“Nothing. I feel like he is not ordinary.” The ghost who stopped Yun Lintian shook his head.
The other Divine Sovereign didn’t dwell on it and said. “Let’s go. Our patriarch is in a rush. We must complete our mission before the Qing Clan’s people arrive.”
Everyone nodded and quickly left.
Yun Lintian slowly emerged from the shadows and looked at the group of five people. “The Ji Clan?”
If there were no mistakes, these people should be members of the Ji Clan. It seemed like they were planning to do something.
However, Yun Lintian had no interest in them. He transformed into a shadow and vanished from the place. He was heading straight to the bridge.
“Run!”
After traveling for an hour, Yun Lintian suddenly heard a piercing scream, followed by a horde of ghosts fleeing in terror.
At the same time, another group of ghosts wearing armor chased after them…
