The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Several days later, Zhao Mu and Yan Lan arrived at the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The lake is vast, with surging waves, dotted with islands of all sizes, and filled with the constant roars of beasts.

Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts, as its name suggests, is a paradise for ferocious beasts.

Unlike demonic beasts, ferocious beasts have almost no intelligence and act purely on biological instincts. Moreover, demonic beasts of the same level are often weaker than ferocious beasts.

As for the reason...

It's very simple: the more intelligent a being is, the more things it considers and the more it weighs gains and losses.

But these low-intelligence monsters only have one word in their minds: fight!

For this reason, not many people come to the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts. The place is dangerous, but the chances of encountering such a creature are slim. The mindless beasts have no habit of protecting and cultivating spiritual herbs and plants.

Any natural treasures that are beneficial to me, I'll just swallow them.

However, on the other hand, while ferocious beasts may exist in other places as well, they are mostly monsters.

But the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts is different; there isn't a single demonic beast there, only low-intelligence ferocious beasts.

"Be careful here!"

“Ferocious beasts are different from demonic beasts. They will attack indiscriminately when they encounter enemies. Although the Langhuan Secret Realm restricts the cultivation of living beings, preventing them from breaking through the Yin-Yang Realm and demonic beasts from reaching the eighth rank, if a group of peak seventh-rank ferocious beasts were to attack us, even a hundred of us wouldn't be enough to kill us.”

Yanlan whispered a reminder.

Cultivation level restrictions are a self-contained rule for most secret realms. The rule for the Langhuan Secret Realm is that only those below the Four Extremes Realm can enter, and the highest cultivation level within the secret realm is also limited to the Four Extremes Realm.

However, rare herbs and natural treasures are not subject to this restriction.

"Ok!"

As Zhao Mu nodded, he plunged headfirst into the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts!

The location of the Underworld Palace is uncertain; it is only known to be at the bottom of the lake, so we can only search for it along the way.

Yanlan then went underwater.

Both of them concealed their auras, fearing that they would be discovered by the ferocious beasts beneath the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts is vast, and the underwater conditions are extremely complex. Even with a general idea of ​​its location, it still took Zhao Mu and Yan Lan nearly seven days to finally discover the location of the Underworld Palace.

"So this is where it is. The Underworld Palace, the abyss of hell, makes sense!"

The two stood before a precipice at the bottom of a lake. Though called a precipice, it was more accurately described as a bottomless abyss. The ravine was quite large, estimated to be dozens of miles wide, and if one wasn't paying attention, one would indeed mistake it for a precipice.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

"Ok!"

Yanlan nodded and followed Zhao Mu down. As they went deeper, the light became increasingly sparse, until it was pitch black. However, since their hands were clasped together, they didn't have to worry about getting separated.

As he went deeper, Zhao Mu discovered that his divine sense was being suppressed.

Even so, it can be sensed that the space seems to grow larger the further down you go.

swoosh~

In an instant, Zhao Mu changed from holding hands to putting his arm around her waist, and pulled Yanlan dozens of feet away.

"what happened?"

Due to the suppression of divine sense, Yanlan is practically blind here, and Zhao Mu's divine sense can only probe within a range of five miles at this moment.

"The space here seems unstable. A spatial rift suddenly appeared just now. If we were to be swept into the spatial turbulence, with our current strength, we would surely die."

Zhao Mu looked wary.

The Wind and Thunder Mansion exists deep within the spatial turbulence, but since they possessed the Wind and Thunder Talisman, they will be safe.

"No wonder almost no one comes here. In fact, if Yu Ruoling's sword attendant hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that there was a place like the Underworld Palace under the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Yanlan suddenly realized.

It's likely that the predecessor who mistakenly entered the Underworld Palace didn't actually enter through the main gate, but rather accidentally stumbled into a spatial rift and arrived at the Underworld Palace. The probability of that happening was incredibly slim, so their luck was truly extraordinary.

"Be careful!"

"My spiritual sense is limited here, so I'll leave everything to you from now on."

"Fine!"

Zhao Mu nodded instinctively.

After descending several more hours, both of them felt increasingly cold and desolate.

"This place is truly eerie!"

Zhao Mu's expression was solemn. To be honest, he was even considering turning back. The unknown was terrifying, and this cold and eerie environment instilled a deep-seated fear in him. This place was clearly not normal.

"careful!"

Just then, Yanlan suddenly reminded her.

"what happened?"

Zhao Mu immediately inquired.

"I felt an emotional fluctuation, it seemed to be... anger!"

"But there are clearly no living beings here."

Zhao Mu had no doubt about Yanlan's perception; the former, who cultivated the Sword of Emotions, possessed a perception of all emotional fluctuations far exceeding that of ordinary people. "Wait, could it be...?"

Just as Zhao Mu was thinking about something, a chilling sensation came from afar.

It is a strange fish with glowing hair, but it is clearly not a physical entity.

"Grudge!"

Zhao Mu's eyes widened, but he was not frightened at all. Even though this vengeful spirit was at the seventh level, he didn't say a word and unleashed a weakened version of the Lightning Strike spell, sending it to its final rest in peace.

Lightning is the natural enemy of evil spirits, giving him a natural advantage here.

"There are many more!"

Yanlan immediately reminded Zhao Mu to remain vigilant.

Before long, a continuous stream of vengeful spirits gathered and attacked the two of them. They were all of the seventh rank, and soon even some vengeful spirits at the mid-seventh rank appeared.

"There are way too many!"

Zhao Mu was dumbfounded. No matter how powerful his lightning strike technique was, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of opponents. If it was purely about attrition, he would be worn down and killed.

"Since so many vengeful spirits have appeared here, the Underworld Palace must not be far away. We must enter the Underworld Palace as soon as possible. If what Yu Ruoling's sword attendant said is true, there is Nether Lightning in the Underworld Palace, these vengeful spirits will definitely not dare to approach it."

"really!"

Zhao Mu nodded in deep agreement and immediately continued to delve deeper as quickly as possible, carefully investigating the surrounding situation.

They continued this process of praying for the souls of the wronged while descending, and about two quarters of an hour passed.

Zhao Mu was already somewhat exhausted. Although he hadn't used any top-grade spirit stones, he had drunk two mouthfuls of spirit liquid. Otherwise, even a weakened version of the Lightning Strike spell, a group attack technique, would consume a great deal of energy.

"arrive!"

In the pitch-black darkness, Yanlan's gaze passed over the densely packed, glowing vengeful spirits and saw a tall gate below, radiating a ghostly blue light.

At the very top of the portal, two ancient characters read "Netherworld Palace".

"walk into!"

Rumble~

In an instant, the power of the lightning strike spell was maximized, and a passage was forcibly opened in front of the two of them, allowing Zhao Mu to quickly approach the portal with Yan Lan.

After landing, he rushed in without any hesitation.

wow~

The pale blue light rippled and undulated, like a curtain of water.

Upon entering, their vision briefly blurred before clearing immediately.

Magnificent palaces and spacious squares.

It resembled the mountain gate of a sect, except that the chilling atmosphere permeating the area was terrifying.

This is the Underworld Palace!
