Chapter 666 (2/2)
“Greetings, Lord Nine Nether!”
Nine Nether waved her hand and the token flew back to her hands. She only nodded slightly and then brought Mu Chen to pass through the light door, eventually disappearing at the end of the light path.
Only when she had left did the black-armored warriors stand up in order.
A black-armored warrior went closer to their captain and questioned uncontrollably in a soft voice, “Captain, the lady just now was the Lord Nine Nether who has been missing for many years?”
“Yes. Since she has the Nine Nether Token, how can it be fake?”
The captain nodded. Looking in the direction where Nine Nether disappeared, he added, “I heard that at the beginning, Lord Nine Nether was the weakest among the nine lords. But she is from the Nine Netherbird clan, and the Condor King was taking care of her. That’s why she could become one of the nine lords. However, just now the pressure I felt from her is no weaker than the other eight lords. Seems that she has successfully passed the tribulation.”
“But these days, the Nine Nether Palace has been having a hard time. If not for the Condor King, it would have probably been destroyed… The Nine Nether Palace now is but a mere decoration,” a black-armored warrior sighed.
“Yeah… The Nine Nether Palace commander that Lord Nine Nether brought up herself also switched to become a subordinate under Lord Blood Hawk, Wang Chong… In the past, Lord Nine Nether saved this person from the battlefield and gave him lots of cultivation resources. Otherwise, he would not have become who he is today.”
“Right, he’s really an ungrateful person.”
“…”
Of course, Nine Nether and Mu Chen did not know about the whispering behind them. After passing through the light path, the view in front of them became brighter. Daluotian in its magnificence appeared clearly in front of them.
Gazing at the spectacular scene before his eyes, Mu Chen also exclaimed in spite of himself.
Mu Chen moved closer to Nine Nether and asked, “Where do we go first?”
“Let’s go to my Nine Nether Palace first. That’s my territory. So many years have passed, I wonder how exactly they are doing now.” Nine Nether smiled and stared to the northwest. She missed the place.
“You have an exclusive palace?” Mu Chen was somewhat surprised.
“I am one of the nine lords and have quite a high status in Daluotian.” Nine Nether rolled her eyes at Mu Chen, after which she said in a condescending tone, “Therefore, next time you see me, you must do what those guys did earlier. Otherwise, you are offending your superior.”
Mu Chen laughed, amused. “You can continue dreaming.”
Nine Nether raised her fist at him. Then she also gave a charming chuckle and stopped joking with Mu Chen. Turning around, she started moving towards the northwest, and Mu Chen quickly followed.
In the sky in Daluotian, there were occasional groups of people whizzing past in an orderly manner. These were the patrolling troops that protected Daluotian and were there to prevent any abnormal events from happening.
Looking at the awe-inspiring and ordered troops, Mu Chen was also inwardly surprised.
After rushing all the way for about an hour, Nine Nether finally slowed her speed. Meanwhile, Mu Chen raised his head to look into the distance where he saw a huge mountain towering into the clouds. The mountain vaguely resembled a giant bird whose wings were spread out, covering the sky and the sun.
At the peak of the mountain stood a continuous chain of tall palaces.
Staring at the palaces, a smile also appeared on Nine Nether’s face. Then, she moved her body and emerged directly in the sky above the palace.
Before the palace, there was a spacious cultivation area. At the moment, a few thousand people were sitting down, cultivating in silence. In front of all the people, there were two girls sitting quietly.
One girl was wearing a black cultivation suit, while the other was in light red clothes. Both looked elegant and beautiful. Most amusingly, their faces looked the same. Clearly, they were twin sisters.
It was just that between the two girls, the one in the black cultivation suit appeared to be ice-cold, while the girl in light red clothes seemed more delicate. However, it was precisely because of their similar faces but different temperaments that anyone there would feel attracted.
At least, among those who were cultivating there, many opened their eyes uncontrollably and secretly looked at the two.
“Huh?”
All of a sudden, the girl in the black suit opened her eyes, which turned cold and fierce. Raising her head quickly, she said in a low tone, “Who is there?”
In the cultivation field, everyone lifted their heads in alert, and spiritual energy started to surge around them.
“Haha, Bing’er, you really have become stronger by the day…” Laughter spread throughout the sky. Then a figure gradually descended and landed in front of the palace.
The girl in the black suit stared blankly at the descending figure. The original coldness and sharpness in her eyes immediately melted, and her eyes started to redden.
The delicate girl beside her also gazed with an incredulous look at the lady in front of them. At the next moment, she rushed towards the lady and her nice eyes were as red as a rabbit’s.
“Sister Nine Nether, you are finally back!”
Taking the girl who had rushed over into her arms, Nine Nether looked at their red eyes and also felt touched. Rubbing the head of the girl in her arms, she said in a gentle tone, “Yeah, your sister is back…”
