Chapter 4179: Chapter 4179: Netherworld King Relics (First Update)

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Is Gu Han also among these few people?"

Gu Xuan said, "He shouldn’t be. I’m not yet clear on who exactly these few people are, but supposedly last time the Dark Mansion upper echelon was not satisfied with the results of the agent assessment. Those high-level figures seem to have personally selected three martial artists whose level of cultivation is below the Primordial Origin Realm to become agents directly under the Dark Mansion. This mission should also be carried out by those three.

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed a fraction. Originally, he had thought this would be a good chance to finish off Gu Han...

But looking at it now, the Dark Mansion upper echelon wants the three agents they picked to be compared against him, this Netherworld agent who ranked first in the assessment...

Ye Chen didn’t really care. To be honest, with his current strength, he didn’t believe any martial artist below the Primordial Origin Realm could pose a threat to him.

Not just anyone can fight crazily across realms like he does.

That wasn’t bragging, just stating the facts.

After that, Gu Xuan told Ye Chen a location. In Ye Chen’s memory, that place was an extremely remote, rarely visited mountainous region in the Moon Soul Domain.

With Ye Chen’s current Hundred Steps Chasing Lightning speed, it would take several hours to get there.

However, the time Gu Xuan gave him was tomorrow at midnight, so the time was still fairly ample.

After cutting off the transmission, Ye Chen didn’t do anything else and simply fell straight into bed and slept!

To resist that Divine Soul backlash, his mental consumption had truly been too great; he absolutely needed a good rest.

It was not until noon the next day that Ye Chen finally woke up. He stretched lazily—this sleep had been rather comfortable—and the fatigue in his mind was swept away!

Ye Chen stood up, said a few words to Xu Shenglong and the others, then set off toward the agreed location.

Several hours later, Ye Chen descended in a desolate-looking mountain range. Following Gu Xuan’s instructions, he arrived before an ancient tree shaped like a hand. He quietly circulated his spiritual energy and cast a seal. The ancient tree trembled, and several array formations emerged out of thin air. Ye Chen took out the Dark Domain agent tokens and tapped them against those few array formations. Rays of strange light suddenly flared on the formations, and a brocade box appeared before Ye Chen!

Ye Chen received the brocade box and opened it. Inside lay a jade scroll, as well as a piece of ancient jade of an extremely bizarre blue-black style.

This ancient jade looked just like a charred segment of human bone!

Ye Chen picked up the jade scroll, placed it against his forehead, and sank his divine soul into it. A moment later, he slowly lowered the jade scroll, a solemn look on his face as he murmured, "Looks like this trip to the Netherworld King Relics isn’t nearly as simple as it seemed..."

According to the information provided by the Dark Domain, this trip to the Netherworld King Relics wasn’t something only the Dark Domain had noticed!

It was said that several forces of extremely mysterious origin would also be entering these Netherworld King Relics!

Even the Dark Domain couldn’t get to the bottom of these forces...

According to the intel, these forces might come from secret lands similar to Chenyue Sea, or possibly from hidden powers in other domains, or even perhaps from the Upper Realm!

However, the greatest likelihood was that they were people from secret lands.

In short, this matter was far more complicated than Ye Chen had imagined!

Ye Chen spoke to Xuan Han Yu: "Fairy Xuan, do you know of any hidden secret realms in the Moon Soul Domain whose power is comparable to Chenyue Sea?"

Xuan Han Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "As far as I know, there are three: Hundred Desolate Mountain, Titan Divine City, and Nine Heavens Ghost Valley. In Hundred Desolate Mountain, the strongest are demonic beasts. It’s said there are five great demonic beast families in the mountain, every bit the equal of the Inner Sea Royal Family of Chenyue Sea.

As for Titan Divine City, it’s somewhat similar to Chenyue Sea. The people of the Divine Capital are also descendants of the Divine King, but the people of Titan Divine City place tremendous importance on bloodline and are highly repulsed by outsiders. So the divine blood within those of Titan Divine City is far more concentrated than that of the people of Chenyue Sea.

There are three great divine surnames in Titan Divine City! The juniors of these three divine surname clans are called Divine Sons, and in Titan Divine City, they are Supreme above all!

Lastly, there is Nine Heavens Ghost Valley. The inhabitants of Nine Heavens Ghost Valley are the most unique. It is said they are hybrids of humans and the Thunder Demon Clan. The Thunder Demon Clan is also an extremely terrifying race, and the Human Demon hybrids of Nine Heavens Ghost Valley are born with the ability to control Demon Thunder. The Supreme existences in Nine Heavens Ghost Valley are the Four Thunder Tribes. It is said these Four Thunder Tribes possess four kinds of mutated Demon Thunder, so powerful that they surpass even the ordinary Thunder Demon Clan!"

Ye Chen nodded. Even though he possessed Primordial Origin Realm strength, if he were to face the powerhouses of these few great secret realms, he likely wouldn’t be able to gain much advantage.

The next instant, his figure moved as he headed off in a certain direction.

According to the information transmitted by Gu Xuan, the Netherworld King Relics were located in a place called Ancient Nether Forest. He intended to go ahead to this Ancient Nether Forest and take a look.

...

Within the Dark Domain.

In Jing Province, there was an extremely luxurious restaurant called Tianyin Building.

The food and wine of Tianyin Building were top-tier throughout the entire Dark Domain, and its layout, décor, service, and so on were utterly impeccable!

The cost of dining in such a restaurant could easily be imagined!

Yet to dine in Tianyin Building, having money alone was still not enough. Tianyin Building only served guests who had a certain background in the Dark Domain!

On the top floor of Tianyin Building, there was an entire floor with only a single room, and this enormous, extravagant room was also the highest-level private room in the whole restaurant!

However, customers familiar with Tianyin Building all knew that this private room was basically never opened.

Because to dine in this private room, one needed one of the hundred VIP Cards issued when Tianyin Building was founded!

Every customer who possessed one of these VIP Cards was a peak-level existence whose slightest move could send tremors through the Dark Domain. These powerhouses were nearly all divine dragons whose head could be seen but tail never found; ordinary people found it extremely difficult to even see them once, so how could they easily come to this restaurant to dine?

Yet today, the top floor of Tianyin Building was ablaze with lights, and waves of strange fragrance drifted from within—someone was actually going to dine in this private room!

In an instant, Jing Province was shaken. People in streets and alleys were all discussing this matter, wondering who exactly the powerhouse in the private room was?

At this moment, on the top floor of Tianyin Building was a young man whose expression carried a hint of cold severity, his eyes constantly darting around as he looked somewhat neurotic...

This young man was clearly Gu Han!

Gu Han paced back and forth nervously in the room, completely ignoring the extremely sumptuous, delicious feast and wine on the table that gave off an irresistible aroma!

His eyes kept glancing toward the doorway.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a young man in a water-blue long robe with a frivolous expression swaggered into the room. His gaze swept over the luxurious private room, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he said:

"Worthy indeed of Tianyin Building’s most top-tier private room—any random ornament in this place must be worth an absolute fortune, right?"
