"The Nine Nether Domain is the most conservative and brutal of the three major forces in this gray realm. They never allow other races from outside the domain to set foot on their territory, let alone people from the Immortal World. Once you enter and are discovered, there is absolutely no chance of escape," Bai Li Yan said slowly.

"I've heard before that there are three major forces in the gray realm, but I didn't know where they came from. I would like to ask Daoist Bai Li to enlighten me," Han Li said, not continuing to discuss whether to sneak into the Nine Nether Domain, but instead asking.

"Alright, I'll tell you then. In this gray realm, the radical faction is the many realms under the command of the Lord of Samsara Hall, who advocates integrating the power of the gray realm to attack the Immortal Domain. The conservative faction is the many realms led by the Lord of the Nine Nether Domain, who believes that the Immortal World is constantly infiltrating power into the gray realm because of the Lord of Samsara Hall's actions, so they advocate rectifying the power of the gray realm, but are unwilling to interact with the Immortal World. The third force is some realms led by the Lord of Black Rope Domain, who hopes to maintain the status quo, neither actively attacking the Immortal World nor engaging in internal strife and consumption," Bai Li Yan glanced at Han Li, hesitated slightly, and explained.

"So there is this reason. But since they are all forces of the gray realm, why do they have such different views on the Immortal World?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"This is determined by the composition of the tribes within different forces. The Samsara Domain mostly consists of Three Corpse Immortals, who have a strong obsession with the Immortal World and naturally want to return to the Immortal World. The Nine Nether Domain is mainly composed of native Gray Immortals, who advocate defending their homeland and are unwilling to initiate disputes with the Immortal World. As for the Black Rope Domain, although its members are mostly native Gray Immortals, they are dissatisfied with the domineering and arbitrary behavior of the Nine Nether Domain on the one hand, and lack trust in the Three Corpse Gray Immortals of the Samsara Domain on the other hand, so they waver in between," Bai Li Yan continued.

"I see. But I don't know what the Three Corpse Gray Immortals you mentioned are?" Han Li asked, puzzled.

"Daoist Li, you may not know, before people from the Immortal World achieve Dao Ancestor in the Great Luo Realm, they must cut three corpse souls to sever all worldly connections and thoughts. The things that are cut out are called Three Corpses, most of which are the deepest obsessions of Great Luo cultivators on the path of cultivation. From the moment they are cut out, they become enemies with the main body. And for various reasons, these Three Corpses enter the gray realm and form the Three Corpse Immortals," Bai Li Yan said.

Han Li listened in a daze, feeling that there were many doubts, and was about to open his mouth to ask when he saw Bai Li Yan waving his hand and continuing, "This cutting of the Three Corpses has always been a private matter for every Great Luo cultivator, and they will not easily tell others. I am still hundreds of thousands of miles away from this step, and the information I can get is limited, so I can't answer your other questions."

"If that's the case, then I can't enter the Nine Nether Domain no matter what?" Han Li smiled bitterly and then said.

"In the past, you would indeed not be able to mix into the Nine Nether Domain, but even if you have the opportunity to mix in now, your chances of finding the Evil Cleansing Pool are very slim, not to mention that entering the Evil Cleansing Pool itself involves fatal risks," Bai Li Yan shook his head and said.

"To be honest, my Evil Decay Tribulation is very special. I have tried many methods before, but they don't work at all. This Evil Cleansing Pool may be the only way to help me get rid of the trouble of evil energy and enter the Taiyi Realm. Since you say that there is now an opportunity to mix into the Nine Nether Domain, I don't want to miss it. Please tell me the truth, Li is very grateful," Han Li said with a solemn expression, cupping his hands towards Bai Li Yan.

Bai Li Yan listened and remained silent for a long time, seemingly caught in a difficult hesitation.

Han Li did not urge him, waiting quietly for him to make a decision.

"Forget it, many of the things I said earlier have involved many secrets, and I shouldn't have told you, but you have been kind to me after all, and you are definitely not from the Heavenly Court, so I will tell you everything. The reason I came to this 'You He City' this time is actually to represent the Samsara Domain in trying to win over the Black Tooth Domain to join our faction, and to vote for us in the upcoming 'Three Domain Alliance Meeting'. And the location of the Three Domain Alliance Meeting is in the Asura City of the Nine Nether Domain," Bai Li Yan sighed first, and then said.

"In that case, I can take advantage of this alliance meeting to enter the Nine Nether Domain. If so, can I follow Daoist Bai Li to participate in this meeting?" Han Li's eyes lit up slightly and said.

"The Three Domain Alliance Meeting is very important because it concerns the mainstream attitude of the gray realm towards the Immortal World. I am now burdened with a mission, and I have to contact more neutral forces such as the Black Tooth Domain under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Black Rope Domain, to win advantages for the Samsara Domain. Besides, you are not a true member of the Samsara Hall after all, and I can't take you with me," Bai Li Yan shook his head.

"That makes sense, it is indeed inconvenient for me to follow you. Since Daoist Bai Li is here to win over Lord Miao Gao, then the Black Tooth Domain will definitely participate in this meeting. I can go to the Nine Nether Domain with them," Han Li nodded and said.

"Are you really sure you want to go to the Nine Nether Domain? Although this alliance meeting is an opportunity, the various tribes of the Nine Nether Domain will definitely strengthen the defense of the Holy Land. The risk is unimaginable, you must think clearly," Bai Li Yan said, still a little worried.

"Daoist Bai Li, don't worry, I have my own measure," Han Li smiled and nodded.

"Daoist Hu Yan said back then that you are definitely not something in a pond, his vision is indeed unique. It's just that I didn't expect us to meet again in this situation," Bai Li Yan said with a carefree smile, seeing this, and no longer insisted.

"He is enjoying himself now, we can't envy him. Fortunately, I learned a lot of brewing methods from him back then. I still have some wine here, Daoist Bai Li, would you like a cup?" Han Li asked with a smile.

"One cup is not enough? Ten altars, a hundred altars are not enough, haha..." Bai Li Yan laughed heartily.

The two talked happily, and only said goodbye and returned to their residences near dawn.

Not long after, Bai Li Yan left You He City.

That afternoon, Miao Xiu visited Mo Guang again, mentioning that she would accompany her father to Asura City to participate in the "Three Domain Alliance Meeting".

Mo Guang, entrusted by Han Li, immediately expressed great interest in this alliance meeting, and wanted to go to the meeting with Miao Gao and others to take a tour of the Nine Nether Domain.

Miao Xiu did not agree on the spot, saying that she would go back and report to Miao Gao and let her father make the decision.

As a result, not long after, she brought back the news, saying that her father had agreed and they could go to Asura City together.

Han Li was a little surprised at first, but he soon figured out the key.

The Ni Ci Tuo Domain, which attacked the Ta Mu Da Conference before, was a small realm under the jurisdiction of the Nine Nether Domain, which shows that the relationship between realms is not stable before the results of the alliance meeting are released.

Traveling all the way to the Nine Nether Domain with Han Li and the other two would naturally greatly improve their safety, so why wouldn't they be happy to do so?

However, because there were too many tribes participating in this conference, the reserved gathering time was still early, and there was still half a year before Miao Gao and the others set off for the Nine Nether Domain.

……

Several months later, the day of departure finally arrived.

On the square at the gate of the Lord's Mansion, there was a huge three-story building boat parked. It was the same boat that Han Li and others had taken before, but the Horned Horses pulling the boat were much larger than the previous three, and each of them had three pairs of fleshy wings on their backs.

Han Li and the other three, Miao Gao, Miao Xiu, and a gray-clothed man with an eagle nose, a group of six people walked out of the gate.

"Three, we will first go to Black Tooth City in the Black Tooth Domain to meet with the Domain Lord, and then go to the Nine Nether Domain together," Miao Gao said to Han Li and the other three.

"We are just going along to take a look, Lord Miao, everything can remain the same," Mo Guang nodded and said with a smile.

Han Li and the other two stood on the left and right, without speaking.

"This Three Domain Alliance Meeting is a major event in the gray realm, and each domain attaches great importance to it. Please accept this token of the Guest Elder to avoid being questioned about your identity," Miao Gao flipped his hand and took out three black tokens, handing them over.

Han Li and the other three took them and put them away, thanking him.

"May I ask Lord Miao, how long will it take to get to Black Tooth City from here?" Mo Guang asked.

"Black Tooth City is located in the center of the Black Tooth Domain. Although the speed of these three six-winged Horned Horses is much faster than that of the four-winged ones, it will still take about ten years," Miao Gao said.

Mo Guang nodded, without saying anything.

"Ten years..." Han Li's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he frowned slightly.

He had only been in the gray realm for a few years, and the evil energy accumulated in his body had caused the evil energy in his Immortal Aperture to riot. If he didn't think of a countermeasure, it was estimated that it would riot several times in ten years.

"The time is almost up, let's board the ship, please." Miao Gao made a gesture of invitation to Mo Guang. After the three of them boarded the ship, he also boarded the building boat.

The gray-clothed youth walked to the bow of the ship and made a hand seal. The Horned Horses pulling the ship spread their fleshy wings and pulled the building boat into the sky, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.

Miao Xiu then arranged rooms for the three of them, which were still the same places where the three of them had lived before.

As soon as Han Li entered the room, he immediately closed the door and placed several layers of restrictions. Then, he waved his arm, and golden lightning flashed, and the figure of the Crab Daoren emerged.

"Daoist Crab, I will have to trouble you to guard here for me," Han Li said to the Crab Daoren.

At the same time, he moved his finger, and a silver-white light door emerged.

The Crab Daoren didn't say much, and nodded.

Han Li nodded slightly to the Crab Daoren, and his body swayed and flew into the light door, entering the Flower Branch Space.

Hiding in the Flower Branch Space, without his body contacting the evil energy from the outside world, he could greatly delay the outbreak of the evil energy in his Immortal Aperture.

Han Li sat down cross-legged in a secret room in the pavilion. He waved his hand, and after a flash of green light, a pile of materials appeared beside him, which were the materials for the Subdue Evil Pill.

He had collected a lot of other materials for the Subdue Evil Pill last time and stored them in his storage magic tool. This time, he accidentally obtained the Xuan Zhi Crystal Stone and the Bitter Luo Flower, two main materials, and could finally start refining pills again.

After Han Li sorted out the various materials one by one, he did not start refining pills immediately, but took out a map, which was the map of the Black Tooth Domain.

He gently swiped his finger between You He City and Black Tooth City, a smile appearing on his face, and then put the map away and slowly closed his eyes.
