The Netherworld Mountain is composed of five peaks.

Not only are there towering trees in the mountains, but also strange rocks are scattered throughout Qishan.

No one expected.

In the center of this Netherworld Mountain, there stood a luxurious palace.

Thump, thump, thump!

At this moment.

A series of urgent footsteps quickly approached and stopped outside the main hall.

"Report!"

"The plan failed!"

"The party from the Martial Arts Arena has breached our front line setup and is heading towards us! The personnel we dispatched couldn't stop them at all!"

Whoosh!

Before the voice finished.

Two cold glimmers suddenly emerged in the pitch-dark main hall. Those were a pair of pupils, obscure and deep as though an abyss. It felt like gazing into them would swallow one's entire being, with no escape.

And because of this.

The demons that came to report did not dare step a foot inside the main hall.

"Huh?"

A voice of doubt sounded inside the main hall.

"It's impossible for those people to break through the outer perimeter of the Netherworld Mountain, could there be a variable?"

"Reporting to Lord Jiao Demon King, a young man fought his way in, and almost no one has been able to stop him. The Yin Dragon Array we set up outside the mountain was broken by his strength alone. Even the elite sent to annihilate the people from the Martial Arts Arena were slain by him!"

The demon lowered its head, never daring to look up toward the main hall.

"What's his name?"

The voice inside the hall continued.

"Ye Qingchen!" the demon replied.

"It's him?" The owner of the voice in the hall seemed to fall into contemplation and then spoke again after a moment: "If that's the case, then invite him into the hall, I will take action against him personally!"

After the voice fell.

The hall returned to dead silence.

...

Just as the Netherworld Mountain was running at full speed.

Ye Qingchen had already led everyone into the depths of the Netherworld Mountain, having long targeted the place where the Yin Evil Qi was the densest. Even though the situation in the mountains was complex, his footsteps never showed a hint of hesitance.

However.

This caused some trouble for the people from the Martial Arts Arena.

Ye Qingchen seemed to walk casually, but each step covered seven or eight zhang. Steward Guo and others had to fully activate their body techniques to barely keep up. Yet, with Ye Qingchen's presence, they didn't have to worry about demon ambushes.

Even if there were demon ambushes, Ye Qingchen merely had to wave his hand, and they would all be annihilated!

The entire journey was invincible.

In just half a day, they had reached the foot of the mountain.

"There's a large hall there!"

Everyone looked up towards the mountaintop.

A huge palace was there, although it appeared classically elegant, it gave off an uncomfortable feeling. As if it were a terrifying beast lurking here, ready to suddenly erupt and swallow them whole.

But in Ye Qingchen's eyes, this palace had another appearance.

The entire palace was shrouded in black mist, leaving its features unclear. Evidently, a powerful demon resided here, possibly the so-called Jiao Demon King!

"There are so many demons on the mountain!" Steward Guo exclaimed in a low voice.

Hearing this, everyone looked up immediately.

They saw.

Countless figures, each entwined with demonic qi, intermingled on the mountain. Among them were Yin Snakes, giant black spiders, and even those with half-human, half-spider forms.

They were beyond count!

It was evidently a mountain of demons.

Noticing Ye Qingchen and others had reached the mountainside.

The entire mountain seemed to come alive, figures maneuvering from all directions, resembling a dark, looming army of demons.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Upon seeing the scene.

Everyone rapidly drew their weapons.

However.

Just as the battle was about to commence, a half-human, half-spider demon suddenly came running down from the mountaintop along a narrow path. Seeing its approach made everyone even more vigilant.

Unexpectedly.

This demon stopped thirty zhang away from the group, cupped its hands towards Ye Qingchen and said:

"Lord Jiao Demon King invites you to ascend the mountain!"

What?

The Jiao Demon King is in that palace?

The group was in a tumult.

As they turned their gaze towards the palace, a touch of fear inevitably crossed their eyes.

Even these ordinary demons displayed such formidable capabilities. One could only imagine the terrifying power of this Jiao Demon King!

"Invite me?"

Ye Qingchen remained unfazed, cast a glance at the eerie palace, and said indifferently, "Tell him to come out here to meet his death, or I'll flatten this Netherworld Mountain and scatter his ashes!"

The demon revealed a semi-smirking expression, "Don't you wish to save Zhou Yuntian?"

"What did you say?"

"Lord Zhou is here..."

"You demons captured Lord Zhou indeed!"

"Let's charge in together and rescue Lord Zhou!"

Overwhelmed with anger and excitement, everyone spoke out.

Among them, Steward Zhao urged, "Young Master Ye, you mustn't go up there. This must be a demon's trap! Let's kill it first, then storm the palace, drag that Jiao Demon King out and crush him to pieces!"

Ye Qingchen shook his head, without responding, and stared at the demon for a moment before nodding:

"Alright!"

"Please!"

The half-human, half-spider demon grinned, making a gesturing motion to invite. Simultaneously, the demons scattered throughout the mountain quickly moved aside, opening a path straight to the mountaintop palace.

Ye Qingchen promptly moved forward with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this scene.

The half-human, half-spider demon had a trace of cold laughter in its eyes.

"This kid really has boundless courage!"

"Even knowing Lord Jiao Demon King is in the palace, he dares to approach alone. It's a pity, no matter the courage, what does it matter before Lord Jiao Demon King?"

"There is only a dead end!"

However, it hid this hint of cold laughter well.

"Young Master Ye!"

"Don't go up there!"

"It's a trap!"

Seeing Ye Qingchen really intending to go up alone, the people from the Martial Arts Arena, shocked and pale, all wanted to stop him.

Yet, before they could speak further.

The demon had already raised its hand, sending a flow of figures quickly from all directions in the forest, intercepting them at the mountain's base. Witnessing this, the faces of Steward Guo and others changed drastically, ready to charge up at any moment.

"It's alright, stay here and wait for me!"

Ye Qingchen, hearing the commotion behind, turned back to advise them.

Understanding this, everyone stayed where they were, but looking at the mountain covered in demons, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. If Ye Qingchen truly entered the hall and faced the Jiao Demon King, would he come out alive?

As their thoughts swirled.

They saw Ye Qingchen, under the guidance of the demon, had already reached the mountaintop, stopping in front of that eerie hall. Here, the demon would go no further, directly stopping:

"Ye Qingchen, Lord Jiao Demon King is inside, waiting for you!"

Ye Qingchen gave the front hall a deep look and then pushed the door open to enter.

His figure was completely swallowed by the darkness!
