In May, the weather had gradually become hotter.

It had been nearly a full month since Wang Junze left the Capital City. As Wang Junze had predicted, during this time, Prince Yu seemed to go crazy, dispatching people everywhere to track Wang Junze's whereabouts, and rumors even said he sent someone to the Northern Domain.

But unfortunately, all of this had nothing to do with Wang Junze anymore.

In one month, Wang Junze had led these people back to the region near the Nether Sea.

Most importantly, during this time, Wang Junze had already settled these people into complete submission; even the three Path-Entering Powerhouses were honestly taking on the role of guards. Their attitudes were even more respectful than they were when facing Prince Yu.

However, the closer they got to the Nether Sea, the more nervous these people became.

To normal people, the Nether Sea was an extremely dangerous place, let alone during these days of interaction. They vaguely understood that this entry into the Nether Sea was to rescue Li Shang Sword Venerable, which indeed meant confronting the Night Spirit Demon Venerable.

Fortunately, Benyin Divine Monk was there to hold the fort; otherwise, even with the Blood Covenant, these people would have collapsed.

"Young Master, how do we go back?"

Upon stepping into the Nether Sea, Peng Ru couldn't help but ask.

The others were fine, all being unfamiliar faces, with no one in the Nether Sea recognizing them. However, Wang Junze had made quite a stir before; if he went back directly, he might be discovered before even reaching the Netherworld City.

The most crucial part is, once Wang Junze is exposed, the message will spread throughout the Nether Sea instantly. Then, surrounded by enemies, no matter how good at fighting they are, Wang Junze and the others could not break through so many Demon Cultivators' blockage and enter the Nether Sea to rescue anyone.

Even if Benyin Divine Monk personally intervened, it wouldn't work because the Nether Sea definitely housed more than just one Night Spirit Demon Venerable Saint Realm powerhouse. Once Benyin Divine Monk made a move, he would attract other Saint Realm powerhouses, making the situation even more dangerous!

Everyone knew this principle clearly; for a moment, all eyes fell involuntarily on Wang Junze.

"It's simple, capture me back there!"

Shrugging, Wang Junze smiled.

"???"

Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, not only Peng Ru but everyone was dumbfounded. What does capturing back mean?

"Lin Qiushui, rush to the Netherworld City at your fastest speed and head straight to the Netherworld Mansion. Find the current Netherworld Mansion Commander and say you're representing Prince Yu to capture me for the Nether Sea to sell to the Night Spirit Demon Venerable! Remember, sell me at a high price."

"..."

Prince Yu takes the fall again?!

This guy, could he have planned all of this from the start when he forced them into the Nether Sea?

This is simply too crazy!

Looking up, Wang Junze continued saying: "Huang Siyu, take Peng Ru with you, and Lin Qiushui in and out, enter the city together, then go find Pei Haoran. With Peng Ru there, it won't be hard to convince the other party. I need to know all the changes in the Nether Sea these days as soon as possible. Remember, whether Pei Haoran is trustworthy or not, tell him I was captured by people from Prince Yu's Mansion and ask Pei Haoran to think of a way to rescue me."

In just these few months, Wang Junze did not think Pei Haoran would betray him, but in the Nether Sea, it is always good to prepare more.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing, Peng Ru hastily replied, "Young Master, rest assured, I will find a way to verify his trustworthiness."

"If he is trustworthy, then you may act accordingly, tell them part of the truth, and take them to the Netherworld Abyss!"

Nodding slightly, Wang Junze instructed once more.

"Liu Daoyu, you are responsible for taking the others and escorting me to the Netherworld City. Remember, from now on, you must treat me as your prisoner, whether in front of others or behind them, put on a full act and let there be no breach in it." Wang Junze continued to instruct, "Also, you must deliberately hide my identity, try not to let me get noticed by others; the degree of it is for you to grasp."

"Can this really fool the Night Spirit Demon Venerable?"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, several people hesitated and couldn't help but ask again.

"That's not important!"

Shrugging again, Wang Junze answered leisurely, "The Night Spirit Demon Venerable won't anticipate Monk Benyin will come to the Nether Sea. So… whether what you say is true or false, he simply won't care. He only needs to confirm that I have returned to the Nether Sea, and that's enough!"

"You want to use the Night Spirit Demon Venerable's hand to obscure your identity and return to the Netherworld City?"

At this, the few people finally reacted.

The situation in the Nether Sea is too complex, with many knowing Wang Junze. To silently return to the Netherworld City or even enter the sea is impossible. If things got loud, it might draw other Saint Realm powerhouses from the Nether Sea.

However, if guided by the Night Spirit Demon Venerable to obscure tracks personally, it naturally allows Wang Junze to enter the city quietly.

Of course, this is also extremely dangerous, because once caught by the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, whether truly captured by Prince Yu, he would undoubtedly exhaust all means to force out Qu Lishang's whereabouts.

Therefore, the key to all this isn't whether the Night Spirit Demon Venerable can see through the lie, but whether Master Benyin can protect Wang Junze amid the Night Spirit Demon Venerable's threat!

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Master Benyin immediately answered, "If it's only the Night Spirit Demon Venerable alone, this humble monk is confident in stopping him."

"That's enough!"

Wang Junze confidently responded, "By then, I will lure the Night Spirit Demon Venerable into the Nether Sea. Once at the Netherworld Abyss, Master Benyin will then confront the Night Spirit Demon Venerable—not seeking victory, just hold the opponent off to give me a chance to escape. I will immediately dive into the sea, attempting to find Li Shang Sword Venerable. If all goes well, when Li Shang Sword Venerable's Cultivation is restored, we will come out and join forces with the master enough to sweep the Nether Sea!"

Indeed, this plan of Wang Junze is incredibly bold!

Previously, after knowing the mission's objective, everyone thought about how to avoid the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, yet Wang Junze did the opposite, purposely exposing himself to the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, allowing the opponent to bring him into the Nether Sea.

It's truly insane!

But it must be admitted that if everything goes smoothly, this indeed is the best way to enter the Nether Sea.

However, any mistake could cost Wang Junze his life.

Turning this over, even Master Benyin's eyes couldn't help but carry a trace of hesitation.

"Don't worry, to the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, my life and death are trivial indeed; what matters is Li Shang Sword Venerable's whereabouts, and possibly the existence of treasures in the opponent's possession…"

Waving a hand, Wang Junze softly said, "Having me in his grasp, he will think that everything is under control, and only thus will his vigilance reduce to the lowest point, allowing the plan to succeed smoothly!"

"In this battle, we are the weaker ones; before successfully rescuing Li Shang Sword Venerable, we must constantly remember this point—if we can avoid a fight, we should try not to engage in one, understand?"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the crowd responded thunderously in agreement.
