Long River Eternity

At the entrance to the pit, a white ape stood at the edge, clutching a chain. Wei Wu and the others were chained to it, but Lin Ding was not among them. Crazy Lion and Yellow Skin followed obediently on either side of the white ape.

The white ape turned its head and glanced to the side, its eyes full of anxiety and panic.

"Act naturally. Anyone can tell what's going on with you." Snow and wind were flying around the white ape, and one snowflake was always lingering around it, carrying Lin Ding's warning.

"I'm scared..." the white ape said in a trembling voice, "You promised to let me go."

"Who told you not to behave? If you had brought us into the palace, you might have taken the opportunity to escape. If you dare to play any tricks again, I will kill you in an instant. Get out of here!" Lin Ding shouted sternly.

The white ape was helpless and could only jump out of the entrance with everyone on his side, with a sad face.

Not long after, they reached the bottom of the pit, and Lin Ding was now hidden in the white ape's hair.

This time, the group was not as lucky as Lin Ding last time. The noise of a group of people landing instantly aroused the vigilance of the two three-headed dogs.

Shortly after landing, two three-headed dogs rushed out from one of the passages, glaring at them and shouting, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Northern Frost Demon Alliance without permission?!"

The white ape hurried to the front of the group. Facing the two three-headed dogs, his previous timid attitude disappeared without a trace. He said arrogantly, "It's me! Can't your dog noses even detect my scent?"

"Lord White Ape, why are you back? Aren't you in Beizhou? These humans are..." The big dog was slightly surprised to see the white ape, then he cast a puzzled look at Wei Wu and others and asked.

"Do I need to report my return to you in advance?" the white ape shouted. "These humans came to rescue the Saint, but I captured them and brought them here to be dealt with by the Alliance Leader."

"Then I'll go and report it right away." The big dog said, and was about to walk towards the passage.

"No need!" the white ape shouted hurriedly.

The big dog stopped and turned to look at the white ape in confusion, wondering what the white ape was planning.

The white ape was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "These people are all important figures in the Tianshu Pavilion. Once they learn they have been captured, the Tianshu Pavilion may send people to support them. You guys guard this place, and I will take them in myself."

At this time, Lin Ding was whispering in the white ape's ear, telling the white ape word by word how to respond.

"Well... okay then." After hesitating for a moment, the big dog obeyed the white ape's order and let the white ape and several people enter the passage.

After the white ape led everyone into the passage, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that he had finally passed the first level successfully.

After passing through the winding corridors, the huge underground town finally appeared before everyone's eyes. Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the magnificence of this underground world and the magnificent crystal palace at the end of the town.

Looking at the monsters coming and going on the main road, the white ape's legs couldn't help but feel weak. He whispered, "Let's take the small road to go around."

"No need. You are taking the prisoners around in circles on the small road. Once you are discovered, it will arouse suspicion. Just take the main road." Lin Ding's voice sounded in the white ape's ears.

"Okay... okay." The white ape looked at the monsters on the street, swallowed hard, and then slowly led everyone out of the passage.

After only a few steps out of the passage, the monsters on the road cast all kinds of looks at them, with curiosity, doubt, vigilance, etc. As the group walked on the road, the rate of turning heads was 100%.

Most of the monsters on the street are at the Tianquan realm, and the white ape is one of the twenty or so Tianji realm monsters in the Beihan Demon Alliance. Most monsters know it. Even if some don’t know it, they can tell it is at the Tianji realm just by its size.

Moreover, the white ape was accompanied by the yellow-skinned and mad lion who were also in the Tianji realm. Therefore, all the monsters along the way just looked at everyone and did not come forward to ask questions or stop them.

At this moment, they were already halfway through the journey and were about to reach the palace. Just as the white ape was secretly thankful that he had not encountered any obstacles, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away: "Hey! Isn't that the four-eyed monkey? You haven't been back for so long, and now you've captured so many humans?"

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound. The white ape was startled when he heard the sound and slowly turned his head to look.

The visitor was a monster with a human body but a black pig head. The two long fangs on its mouth and six large ears like palm leaves on its head were particularly eye-catching.

As it walked over, it looked Wei Wu and the others up and down.

"Six-eared Pig, I have to take these humans to see the leader now. I don't have time to bother with you. Get out of the way!" The white ape said impatiently, but his heart was in a panic and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened a lot.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Black Pig said with a playful expression, glancing at Yellow Skin and Crazy Lion, "You've even taken in two younger brothers. No wonder you're even more arrogant than before. But look at you, you're still so arrogant. You only think about making achievements, but you haven't practiced at all? You haven't even cultivated into a human form."

"What's it to you?!" the white ape shouted angrily.

"Hmph, you stole my spot to go to Northern Province, causing me to spend almost all these years suffering in this underground. Now it seems like it might not be such a bad thing."

"Let me remind you that the hundred-year agreement will expire in only two months. When the leader leads us to break out, if your cultivation is not good enough and you hold us back, I wonder if your achievements can help you atone for your sins?" Black Pig walked past the crowd with a sneer and patted Zhan Wushen on the shoulder.

Zhan Wushen was knocked to the ground. Black Pig glanced at Zhan Wushen and said disdainfully, "So you just caught a few weaklings. It doesn't seem like a big deal. Hahaha!"

With arrogant laughter, the black pig walked away regardless of the angry gaze of the white ape.

Wei Wu hurriedly helped Zhan Wushen up and asked nervously, "Brother Zhan, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhan Wushen whispered, "It used quite a lot of force, I was just pretending. After all, our cultivation is restricted right now, so we don't want it to see any flaws."

Seeing the black pig walking away, everyone continued to move towards the Water God Palace. Fortunately, there were no more twists and turns on the rest of the journey, and they were about to reach the gate of the Water God Palace.

At this time, Lin Ding was very surprised to hear what Hei Zhu said. He never thought that there were only two months left for the hundred-year agreement. Now that the leader of Tianshu Pavilion is gone to suppress the leader, Jiuzhou is likely to suffer a great disaster.

I wonder how Teacher Yang’s strength has recovered and whether he can compete with the leader.

While Lin Ding was in a state of confusion, everyone finally arrived at the Water God Palace.

On each side of the Water God Palace's entrance stood a guard in the shape of a human with a horse's head. They were tall, nearly three meters tall, and their cultivation was obviously higher than that of the black pig. The only difference was that although the black pig had a human form, its hands were still animal hooves and had not yet been cultivated into the shape of human hands.

These two monsters had already grown human hands, holding two giant axes that were taller than themselves, and staring at the approaching people with eyes like sharp blades.
