Chapter 1485: Blood Nether Hall

"The Four Primordial Ancestors are the guardian beasts of the Immortal Forest World, and also Immortal Forest's most important companions. With Immortal Forest's death and dissolution, their situation is probably not much better. As for where they are, I don't know either. Back then, I had already fallen into slumber and was sent back into the realm by Immortal Forest; I can't remember what happened afterward."

Speaking of this, Wuchen's expression also dimmed.

Clearly, the events of that year were not a pleasant memory.

"Senior, don't dwell on the past. I will not let a single one of the Nine Entropy Heavenly Emperor's lineage off!" Ye Yuan said in a deep voice.

Wuchen looked at Ye Yuan with relief, his expression softening slightly.

He knew that if Ye Yuan could continue to grow step by step as he was now, avenging Immortal Forest was not impossible.

In the following time, Ye Yuan re-tempered his physical body according to the cultivation method of the *Dragon Celestial Body*, and indeed found it extremely smooth.

The previous feeling of stagnation had completely disappeared.

Moreover, Ye Yuan discovered that the *Dragon Celestial Body* was a very high-level body-tempering technique, far superior to the *Profound Turtle Precious Body Divine Art*.

Ye Yuan spent a full three years re-tempering his physical body. After completion, his body-tempering realm had actually reached the early stage of the Second Revolution, perfect.

Only one step away from catching up to his divine essence realm.

"As expected, dragon clan techniques are the most suitable to cultivate!" Ye Yuan said with a wry smile.

Before the Divine Path, Ye Yuan didn't feel anything special when cultivating the *Profound Turtle Precious Body Divine Art*.

But after completing the First Revolution Golden Body, Ye Yuan felt that his cultivation speed was getting slower and slower.

Clearly, the cultivation method was correct, yet his strength could not advance.

Now, that feeling was completely gone.

Three years within the Realm-Calming Stele was merely three months in the outside world.

When Ye Yuan emerged from seclusion, he found that Li Ji had already been waiting outside the door.

"Miss Li Ji, you..." Ye Yuan said, looking dumbfounded.

He noticed that Li Ji was gazing at him with tender affection, like a lovestruck young girl.

Li Ji's face flushed red, and she said shyly, "Brother Yuanye cultivates so diligently, no wonder you have such strength at such a young age. Li Ji has been waiting here for two months."

Ye Yuan inwardly felt a headache; the girls of the demon race were truly bold and passionate!

Li Ji was not like other demon women who indulged themselves, but once she found someone she liked, she became very proactive and open.

This... was her launching an offensive against him.

Li Ji was different from ordinary demon women; other demon women accepted anyone, but she was not like that.

Kasin was an outstanding figure among the younger generation, unmatched in strength among the youth of Kapen Royal City.

Yet, she simply didn't like him.

Ye Yuan was somewhat unconventional; he was rough yet meticulous, wild yet not barbaric, quite different from ordinary demon men.

Originally, she only thought Ye Yuan was good-looking and pleasing to the eye, without much feeling.

But Ye Yuan's previous performance was too eye-catching; that Phantom Kill move instantly captured Li Ji's heart.

"This... Miss Li Ji, is there something you need from Yuanye?" Ye Yuan said.

Li Ji stared straight at Ye Yuan with her beautiful eyes, a smile in her brows, "What, can't I come find you if there's nothing?"

Ye Yuan broke out in a sweat, "Of course not."

Li Ji said softly, "Yuanye, I find you truly different! If it were anyone else, with this young lady being so forward, they would probably be overjoyed and at a loss. But you seem to avoid me like the plague!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily, "Isn't Miss Li Ji also different? Kasin is one of the top young talents in the royal city, admired by countless women, yet you are indifferent to him."

Li Ji smiled, "That's because... he's not as good-looking as you!"

Ye Yuan also laughed, "Heh, that's true!"

Ye Yuan was currently living under someone else's roof and couldn't be too reserved, or it would arouse suspicion.

Li Ji laughed heartily, clearly amused by Ye Yuan's wit.

"Giggle, you cultivate every day, how boring. How about... we take a stroll in the royal city?" Li Ji asked tentatively.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "I happen to need to go to the Blood Nether Hall. Why don't Miss Li Ji accompany me?"

Li Ji showed a surprised expression, curious, "What are you going to the Blood Nether Hall for?"

Ye Yuan said, "Yuanye has a relative who went missing; I want to inquire at the Blood Nether Hall."

Li Ji showed a look of understanding, "I see. Then... this young lady will accompany you."

...

The Blood Nether Hall was a powerful underground organization in Kapen Royal City.

This organization was not limited to Kapen Royal City but was spread throughout the entire Dalan Imperial City.

Its strength was such that even the City Lord's Mansion dared not easily antagonize it.

Unlike the City Lord's Mansion, which governed the city, the Blood Nether Hall's purpose was to make money.

Only, their methods of making money differed from conventional means.

The Blood Nether Hall was divided into several branches: the Blood Combat Platform, the Assassination Hall, the Hundred Knowledge Hall, the Magic Medicine Hall, and so on.

In short, most of their money-making methods were shady.

When people heard the name Blood Nether Hall, they felt both love and hate.

For example, the Magic Medicine Hall was somewhat like the Alchemist Guild, a place specialized in refining pills.

The demon race's alchemists were called magic pharmacists; the title differed, but they were essentially similar to human alchemists.

Only, demon race pills were completely different from human pills, following entirely different paths.

Magic pharmacists held an extremely revered status in the demon race because the demon race was too weak in this area.

The demon race was warlike and martial, but few could handle the delicate work of making pills.

Thus, demon race magic pharmacists were far rarer than human alchemists, each holding a very high status.

The demon race did not lack powerful warriors, but they lacked powerful magic pharmacists.

Therefore, everyone loved the Magic Medicine Hall but feared places like the Assassination Hall.

As for the Blood Combat Platform, it was a killing ground and a gambling venue for the nobles of the royal city, extremely bloody.

The Hundred Knowledge Hall was naturally a place for gathering information.

As soon as Ye Yuan and Li Ji stepped out, they were watched.

Horn was a Heavenly-level demon general assassin of the Assassination Hall, among the top demon-general-level assassins there.

He had waited near the Fan family for three months, finally seeing Ye Yuan, but unexpectedly he came out with Li Ji.

The Assassination Hall had a rule: they rarely made moves against direct descendants of the four great families.

Of course, if sufficient payment was offered, they would still act.

The four great families had immense influence in the royal city; a single move could affect the whole.

Even a major force like the Blood Nether Hall was unwilling to provoke them easily.

"No wonder Kasin wants to kill this kid; he's actually won over the famous cold beauty of Kapen Royal City! Lucky for you, I'll let you live a little longer. Hmm? They're heading to the Blood Nether Hall?"

Horn raised an eyebrow and revealed a smile.
