Chapter 479 - 471: The Yin Fiend Realm

However, Lou Yi’s astonishment only lasted a few breaths before he forcefully suppressed it.

Right now, none of that is important.

The crucial thing is to understand the other party’s true motive and whether he can meet their demands.

"How did you get into the Yellow Springs Sect?" Lou Yi asked, though he didn’t voice the question ’and even become the Holy Daughter?’

"It was just a coincidence." The woman in the white gauze dress revealed a smile with an ambiguous meaning, "Perhaps it’s the heavens not wanting me to live an ordinary life, allowing me to receive His favor..."

The woman stopped her words there, seemingly feeling she shouldn’t say more, but it had already shaken Lou Yi’s heart.

’Him?’

Lou Yi knew some teachings of the Yellow Springs Sect, where the highest entity worshipped was not the Sect Leader but the demon god they served.

But whether the demon god truly existed or was merely a fictional part of the doctrine, even Su Yu was skeptical, and unexpectedly, it got confirmed here.

No, with her intellect, how could she accidentally reveal this matter? She must have intentionally informed him.

Why did she want to do this?

The woman opposite wasn’t someone else; she was Jia Hong, a former female disciple of the Extreme Fist Sect.

Known as the first beauty in the sect, she once played a whole basket of admirers at her whims.

The last time she showed up was over four years ago when she disappeared after stealing the Immortal Ascension Order from the Sang Family of Ping’an Village.

Now her identity had shifted, and she had become the Holy Daughter of the Yellow Springs Sect, a position even higher than many elders, incredibly esteemed.

Many thoughts flashed through Lou Yi’s mind, and he directly asked, "You had Su Yu find me because you want me to do something, right?"

"That’s right." A hint of surprise flashed in Jia Hong’s eyes, as if she hadn’t expected Lou Yi to be so forthright without any pleasantries.

It’s only because Lou Yi knew Jia Hong too well.

This woman never acts without gain, perhaps she truly has feelings, but not much.

Talking niceties with her is simply a waste of time.

He had heard from Su Yu that the quota for entering the Yin Sha World was extremely scarce, and most elders couldn’t obtain it.

If Jia Hong could let him in, she must have paid a significant price. She definitely had her own reasons for doing so.

"Why find me? You hold an esteemed position in the sect, surely you don’t lack manpower."

"Don’t be fooled by my current high status; after all, my qualifications are still shallow.

This sect is full of enemies aiming at my position, envious of my status, and wanting to pull me down everywhere. I dare not easily trust others."

Jia Hong’s tone suddenly turned pitiful, as if the vast and ethereal aura from before no longer existed.

Unfortunately, this had no effect on Lou Yi.

He said expressionlessly, "Speak, what exactly do you want?

If I can do it, I’ll help you, and neither of us owes anything to the other. If I can’t, just pretend I never came."

Seeing Lou Yi being so ruthless, a hint of ’resentment’ flashed in Jia Hong’s eyes.

Paired with her exquisite and beautiful face, even a person with a heart of stone might melt.

Seeing that the opposite side still had no reaction, Jia Hong sighed, "This time, I helped you enter the Yin Sha World, and my request is simple.

I need you to find a way to get into the First Tian Prison inside.

Just place this item in any inconspicuous place within the Tian Prison.

If you can’t get into the First Tian Prison, it’s alright; the periphery of the Second or Third Tian Prison will do, but the closer, the better..."

After speaking, Jia Hong extended her delicate hand.

In the white palm, a white leaf quietly lay, seemingly crafted from jade but with clear textures and exuding a faint fragrance of vegetation.

Lou Yi accepted the white jade leaf and asked, "The First Tian Prison? Then where was I originally going?"

"You all are going to the Ninth Tian Prison, where that ancient martial cultivator is imprisoned.

But I advise you not to delve too deep; inside, there’s an array placed by a master’s power, astonishing in its might. Even Golden Core and Great Demons may not gain anything..."

Lou Yi took the opportunity to converse with Jia Hong, trying to learn more about the Yin Sha World.

After an unknown duration, a dark shadow silently slipped out of the Lingfeng Pavilion.

In the pavilion, a voice only audible to herself was heard: "I know, none of you think highly of me.

But I neither have a family background nor outstanding talent.

If I don’t strive, don’t find ways to struggle, to fight upwards, I’m afraid I’d still be an obscure Small Cycle Martial Artist..."

...

Three days later, in Xun City of the Zhao Kingdom.

A confined underground space spanning only a few hundred square meters.

All around were smooth gray-white stone walls, with the ceiling inlaid with night pearls the size of fists, lighting up the underground as bright as day.

In the central area of this space, there was a stone platform more than ten meters in diameter, with many nicks and small cracks around its edge, indicating its age.

Upon it were intricate lines of array patterns densely carved, and from a high viewpoint, it formed a general hexagram shape.

With a ’clang’ sound, the stone slab at the top of the underground space swiftly split open, revealing a sizable opening.

A flying boat emitting a faint white light slowly descended, and from it disembarked twenty to thirty men and women in various attires.

The only commonality was that all had their eyes covered with black cloth and had earplugs in their ears.

When the black cloth and earplugs were removed, the scene before them was thoroughly exposed to everyone.

"Is this the teleportation array to the Yin Sha World? It’s my first time here."

"I’ve been here twice, but still don’t know its exact location."
