"Stop."

Just then, the black-robed elder of the Nine Nether Clan, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, finally spoke.

His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed powerfully, stirring in the sea of consciousness of everyone present, immediately suppressing all around.

"Asura City is not a place for you to fight and run wild. Return to your paths immediately, or you will be expelled from the Nine Nether Domain at once."

His words gave Wu Chongshan a way out, and the latter immediately bowed and retreated to the right side of the door.

The people from the Black Tooth Domain exchanged a look and also withdrew into the doorway.

Disrupted by the commotion, the Yinshan elder forgot to check Shi Chuan Kong, allowing him to enter the city unnoticed.

...

In the evening, the Black Tooth Domain group settled down in the Asura City's post house arranged by the Nine Nether Clan.

As night fell, Han Li and his companions arrived in front of a post house hall and sent a message inside.

Soon, Miao Gao and his daughter Miao Xiu came out to greet them, leading Han Li and the others into their residence.

After everyone sat around a black stone table with carved patterns, Mo Guang spoke first, "Lord Miao Gao, we apologize for disturbing you at this hour, please forgive us."

"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Jiang? Please speak freely about anything you need." Miao Gao said, slightly surprised.

"To be honest, we plan to leave the group early tomorrow morning and have come specifically to bid farewell." Mo Guang said with a smile.

"This... why the sudden departure?" Miao Gao asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Miao Xiu, standing beside him, also frowned slightly.

"Originally, I thought of joining the fun at the Three Domains Alliance, but after seeing and hearing so much along the way, I feel that the atmosphere is tense. The meeting is clearly going to be a shouting match, and they might even roll up their sleeves and fight at the slightest disagreement. I've lost much of my interest. Thinking about it, the Tamuda Assembly, with its singing and dancing, is much more enjoyable. Besides, I've heard that Asura City's 'Upside Down Street' in the Taming District is very famous, and I want to take a stroll to see if I can find any treasures." Mo Guang shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, we won't force you to stay. However, although Asura City now accepts various races from outside the domain, the only areas truly open to foreign races are the Fallen Lake, Sui Mountain, and Taming District. Foreign races are strictly prohibited from entering other areas. Please keep that in mind." A strange look flashed in Miao Gao's eyes as he spoke.

"Senior Jiang Gu, allow me to add a word. You previously entered Asura City as guest elders of our Three Miao Clan. If you don't go to the Fallen Lake District for the conference with us, you may need to change your identity when traveling in the city." Miao Xiu suddenly said.

Han Li glanced at her.

The unspoken meaning of her words was that if they left the Three Miao Clan, their actions would no longer be related to the Three Miao Clan. From this, it was clear that Miao Xiu did not take Mo Guang's stated reason for leaving seriously.

"Lord Miao, rest assured, I just enjoy traveling and won't cause any trouble." Mo Guang, well aware of this, still said with a smile.

"Everyone, allow me to say a few more words. The various tribes of the Nine Nether Domain have long been hostile to the races under your Reincarnation Domain. After today's incident, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't be watching you. So even when traveling within these three open districts, you must be cautious and prevent being ambushed." Miao Gao warned again.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Miao Gao. We will be careful." Mo Guang said with a gentle smile.

After chatting for a while, Mo Guang and the others took their leave.

"Father, they..." Miao Xiu said, looking at Miao Gao, who had a thoughtful expression, after seeing the three off and returning.

"Xiu Xiu, I know what you want to say. It's okay... We can't verify Jiang Gu's identity in the Shao Hao Domain, but the aura on his body can't be faked. Moreover, his two retainers seem to be deeply hidden. They naturally have other purposes for coming to Asura City. Since we have decided to vote for the Reincarnation Domain, we should still try to befriend them as much as possible." Miao Gao waved his hand and said.

"Isn't Father worried that their true purpose in coming to Asura City will cause trouble for our Three Miao Clan? I feel that those three are somewhat unfathomable. Even their appearance seems to be intentional." Miao Xiu asked, her brows furrowed.

"What trouble could there be? As long as they don't have any malicious intentions towards us, that's all that matters. They won't shout everywhere that they sneaked in with our Three Miao Clan, and we certainly won't say it. Besides, don't you want to see someone stir up trouble in Asura City? We haven't finished avenging the Nicituo Domain for their sneak attack. It would be nice if they could cause some chaos for the Nine Nether Domain. Afterwards, we have to think carefully about how to explain it to the Domain Lord..." Miao Gao said, placing his hands behind his head and smiling.

"Father, you really are..."

Miao Xiu looked at Miao Gao, who usually had a serious expression, rarely showing such a comfortable look of waiting for a good show, and couldn't help but complain.

...

Before dawn the next day, Han Li and his companions left the post house and headed north along the city streets.

Han Li had previously heard Miao Gao talk about the size of Nine Nether City on the road, knowing that it was planned to be divided into nine major districts, covering an area of more than 100,000 li? It was said to be a city, but in reality, it was comparable to the entire territory of a secular small country.

Among them, the Sui Mountain District was directly a thousand-zhang peak standing within the city, with castles standing on top, and baleful aura rising, looking like a small sect from a distance.

The location of the post house where they were previously was just an entry point of Asura City, adjacent to the Fallen Lake, Taming, and Sui Mountain Districts. To go to other areas, they needed to pass through these three districts first.

There were many pedestrians coming and going on the street, but not many people were walking on the ground like Han Li and the others. Most of them were floating slightly in the air, about a foot above the ground.

Although their appearances were similar to humans, and they were all different in height, weight, and build, their faces were full of cold expressions. They occasionally sized up outsiders like Han Li, their eyes full of indifference and hostility.

"Although I've seen quite a few of them, I still feel that these Nether Slaves look like hanged ghosts. They're too unpleasant..." Mo Guang, who had also changed into a large black cloak, said with a look of disgust.

"The Nine Nether Clan's exclusion of outsiders is really as Fellow Daoist Bai Li said, all expressed on their faces without any concealment." Han Li said, adjusting the hood of his cloak.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we know too little about the Nine Nether Clan. Do we really want to rashly break into their holy land like this? It seems like a high-risk endeavor." Shi Chuan Kong said with some worry.

Han Li did not completely hide the matter of meeting with Bai Li Yan that day. He told Shi Chuan Kong about the opportunity to return to the Immortal World through the Samsara Hall and the Washing Fiend Pool, and gave him two choices.

One was that he could choose to go to the Reincarnation Domain alone and wait for Han Li to return from the Nine Nether Domain, and then take him to find the Reincarnation Hall. The other was that he could follow Han Li to the Nine Nether Domain, and then go to the Reincarnation Domain together.

Shi Chuan Kong unexpectedly chose the latter. Whether it was for his own safety or for the demand for Subduing Fiend Pills, he actually had no choice but the latter.

"If there wasn't this opportunity of the Three Domains Alliance, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to reach Asura City. If we don't go this time, there will be no chance in the future." Han Li said, frowning slightly.

"The Nine Nether Clan seems to value this 'holy land' very much. There is too little information circulating outside. We tried our best along the way, but we couldn't find much useful information. We don't even know where it is. How are we going to find it?" Shi Chuan Kong sighed and said.

"That's okay. Let's go to the Taming District first. Since there is an Upside Down Street there for merchants to trade, there must be news circulating. Maybe it's not too difficult to get a map of Asura City." Han Li said after pondering for a moment.

"That's all we can do." Shi Chuan Kong nodded and said.

Mo Guang walked to the side with his hands behind his back, looking around at the pedestrians with a relaxed and comfortable look.

...

Asura City, Sui Mountain District.

Baleful aura swirled around the top of the thousand-zhang peak. On the top of the mountain, which had been flattened by manpower, stood a magnificent palace.

In front of the palace was an open black stone square, built against the cliff. Beyond the railing was a thousand-zhang steep cliff, and below was a thick fog, blown by the mountain wind like rolling waves.

At this moment, two figures, one black and one white, were standing inside the railing, looking far into the distance towards the Fallen Lake District.

The black figure was shrouded in an extremely wide black robe, the surface of which was covered with black dragon-shaped patterns. The tail of the robe dragged on the ground, covered with a faint baleful aura.

Under the robe was a tall man hovering a foot in the air. He had disheveled hair and bare feet, wearing a simple bronze armor. On his chest was a hideous beast-shaped chest guard, covered with green copper rust.

The man's face was pale, his features clear, and his angles sharp. His thick lips were slightly downturned, and his face was very indifferent. A pair of gray eyes looked straight ahead, showing no emotional fluctuations.

The white figure beside him was a white-haired old man with a very high-grade snow-white robe. On the robe, there was a shimmering light flowing from the shoulders to the hem of the robe, like surging waves, piling up团雪白浪花 at his feet.

If a cultivator were standing next to him at this moment, he would be able to feel the majestic water vapor emanating from the water waves, and the bursts of seemingly weak but continuous water attribute law fluctuations.

The hazy water vapor surrounding the old man completely isolated the baleful aura in the surrounding air, like a fog wall.

"Fellow Daoist Hei, how confident are you about voting in this alliance?" The white-robed old man said, withdrawing his gaze from the distance.

"Less than 30%." The black-robed man said coldly.

"This... So many tribes in the Black Rope Domain have sided with the Reincarnation Domain?" The white-robed old man raised an eyebrow and asked.
