The third layer of Devil Domain was undoubtedly filled with danger. After all, this was a place with Devil Emperors and Devil Sovereigns. Although Xiang Shaoyun was capable of keeping himself alive here, it did not mean that he would be able to protect the Han Clan sisters as well. They understood that and could only agree to his request.

”Alright. This is your antidote. In case I get myself killed, you won't have to be afraid of the poison anymore,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he handed them two pills.

Back at the Skeleton Gang, Xiang Shaoyun had once lied to them that he had poisoned them. Naturally, this antidote was a lie as well. The two women were unaware of that, but they were overjoyed to see that Xiang Shaoyun was willing to relinquish his grasp on them. Finally, they were free.

Just as Han Xuewei was about to swallow the pill, Han Qianwei stopped her and said, ”Hold on, little sister.”

”Why?” Han Xuewei asked in confusion. Instead of saying anything, Han Qianwei stared at Xiang Shaoyun suspiciously.

Xiang Shaoyun did not mind. He shrugged and said, ”Eat it if you want. I'm going.”

He then ignored the two and left alone. After he left, Han Xuewei swallowed the pill.

”Why are you in such a rush? What if this is yet another poison?” Han Qianwei asked anxiously.

”Big sister, I know you don't like Xiang Shaoyun, but if he really wishes us ill, why would he save us? Does he even need to use poison if he wants to harm us?” asked Han Xuewei. She had been able to view everything in a rational manner, which caused Han Qianwei to feel both shame for not being able to see what her little sister saw and guilt for suspecting him.

”Since he is our savior, I will say something nice on his behalf after meeting Uncle Pojun,” said Han Qianwei.

”Uncle Pojun might be strong, but I don't think he will be of much help to Xiang Shaoyun,” said Han Xuewei with a sigh.

...

Xiang Shaoyun advanced alone, and before long, he was met with the attack of some devils. These devils were only Kings, and he had not much problem dealing with them. But the deeper he went, the more pressure he felt.

Powerful peak Devil Kings and Devil Emperors were starting to appear. He hadn't even gone far, yet the devils he encountered were already much stronger than the ones in the second layer. From this, it was evident that he would encounter even more Devil Emperors the deeper he went.

Instead of charging ahead blindly, Xiang Shaoyun started killing the devils in the area. He would first gather enough contribution points before thinking of anything else.

In that manner, five days pa.s.sed.

His contribution points had increased greatly. His Nether Soul Domain and ghostrunes had played a great role in helping him acc.u.mulate that many contribution points.

Escape was nearly impossible for any devilish beasts trapped in his Nether Soul Domain. He would only release the Nether Soul Domain when he faced more than 10 devils at a time. Any devil killed in the Nether Soul Domain would be considered his kill, awarding him contribution points even if the ghostrunes were the ones doing the killing. There was nothing surprising about that since the ghostrunes resided in his personal domain. One could even consider the ghostrunes his personal cheat.
