Soon, the other elders went out, and only the Prince of the Underworld and the second elder were left in the hall.
"Your Highness, do you have anything else to give me?" the second elder asked.
The prince of the underworld said: "I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy recently."
The second elder comforted and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. We, the Nether Clan, are powerful and have your wise leadership. Why should we be afraid? Perhaps you have been busy with affairs recently, which has made you uneasy. You can recover after taking a short rest."
The prince of the Nether Clan shook his head slightly and looked deeply towards the end of the hall, where an ancient totem of the Nether Clan hung, emitting a faint light.
"No, this uneasiness does not come from matters within the clan. I always feel that there seems to be some kind of change quietly taking place in the world of cultivation, and this change may have a profound impact on us, the Nether Clan."
When the second elder heard this, his expression became solemn: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is absolutely true. Everything in the world is changing. Although we are in the underworld, we cannot ignore the changes in the world of cultivation."
The prince of the Nether Clan said: "The Nether Clan has been staying here for so many years and does not have enough information about the outside world. Otherwise, the Ninth Elder and the Tenth Elder would not have died."
The second elder said quickly: "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself."
"We, the ten elders, are born as members of the Nether Clan and die as ghosts of the Nether Clan."
"Lao Jiu and Lao Ten died for His Highness the Crown Prince. It was their honor."
When the prince of the Nether Clan heard this, he felt much better and said, "Thanks to your ten elders for helping me these years, otherwise, I don't know what the Nether Clan would have become in her hands."
"Second Elder, have you visited the First Elder recently?"
"He has been in seclusion for so many years and there is no movement at all. Can there be any problems?"
The second elder comforted him and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Once the first elder takes that step, he will come out of seclusion on his own."
Expectation appeared in the eyes of the Prince of the Underworld, and he said: "As long as the Great Elder takes that step, there is great hope for my father to be resurrected."
"Once my father is resurrected, no one can stop our underworld army."
"By then, the world of cultivation will be ours."
The eyes of the prince of the underworld were shining with the flame of ambition, as if the entire world of cultivation was already under his control.
"By the way, Second Elder, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
The prince of the underworld said: "I remember you said before that there seems to be some kind of heaven and earth clock. When it appears, it will rank the strongest list. Why haven't I seen the heaven and earth clock?"
The second elder instantly understood that the Prince of the Underworld wanted to see where he ranked on the Heaven and Earth Clock.
The second elder replied: "Your Highness does not know something. The Heaven and Earth Clock only appears once every ten thousand years. The time has not yet come."
"Furthermore, based on past experience, the Heaven and Earth Clock only ranks two lists, namely the Qianlong List and the Shenglong List."
"The Hidden Dragon Ranking ranks the masters below the realm of saints, while the Shenglong Ranking ranks the masters below the peerless Saint King."
"With your current strength, Your Highness, even if the Heaven and Earth Clock appears, you will not have a chance to be on the list because you are too strong."
The prince of the Underworld suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "So that's it. It seems that there is nothing strange about the heaven and earth clock."
They didn't know that the Heaven and Earth Clock had already appeared in the world of cultivation, but the Nether Clan had a special geographical location and was isolated from the outside world, so they didn't know the situation at all.
If they had known about the ranking of the Heaven and Earth Clock, they might not have acted so recklessly.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" the second elder said, "If nothing happens, then I will prepare to activate the teleportation array."
"Go ahead!" The prince of the Underworld clan waved his hand.
The second elder bent down and bowed, then turned and left.
However, he had only taken two steps when the voice of the Prince of the Underworld rang out again.
"Wait a moment!"
The Prince of the Nether Tribe said: "Second Elder, please tell the Seventh Elder and the Eighth Elder. If they go out smoothly this time, they can get as much nutrients as possible."
"The more nutrients there are, the earlier the time for father's resurrection will be."
"It's a big deal, so please do your best."
"Yes, I will convey His Highness's words to Lao Qi and Lao Ba verbatim." After the second elder finished speaking, he quickly left the hall.
The prince of the Underworld looked at the departing figure of the second elder, and silence returned to the hall again.
He walked slowly to the ancient totem of the underworld, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the complicated lines on the totem, with powerful ambition shining in his eyes.
"It won't take long before I can lead the underworld army to wipe out the world of cultivation and dominate the world!"
…
Ye Qiu had no idea what happened in the underworld. After killing the Ninth Elder, he returned to Rongbao Pavilion with Xiaodie in his arms.
As soon as he came back, everyone quickly gathered around him.
"Chang Sheng, are you okay?" Ning An asked with concern.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"Boss, I heard from my sister-in-law that a strong man from the Nether Tribe took Xiaodie away. Where is that guy?" Lin Daniao asked.
Boom!
The Changmei Master knocked Lin DaNiao on the forehead with his finger and said angrily: "Do you even need to ask?"
"The little bastard has returned safely, and Miss Xiaodie has also snatched it back. That guy must be dead!"
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Yes, that guy was killed by me."
King Wu of Zhou said in a deep voice: "The Nether Clan has not been born for many years. As soon as they appeared this time, they started to cause trouble in Central Continent, and two strong men died. I am afraid they will not let it go."
Ye Qiu nodded and said to Ning An: "The two people I killed are elders of the Nether Clan and have high status. Recently, I asked the people below to keep an eye on them and be ready for war at any time."
"Especially in the Imperial City, we must be prepared and don't be careless."
"In addition, the disappearance of people in the four cities is obviously related to the Hades."
"Tomorrow morning I will set off with the old guy to investigate the four cities. Maybe we can find some clues about the underworld."
"Okay." Ning An nodded lightly.
"Okay, you guys go back and rest first, I still have some things to deal with." Ye Qiu said.
Ning An glanced at Ye Qiu and said via voice transmission: "I'll wait for you tonight~"
As soon as they left, Ye Qiu immediately asked Master Changmei and the others to rest. Then he carried Xiaodie to the top floor of Rongbao Pavilion, placed Xiaodie in a room, and sent two maids to guard her.
Then, he came to Nangong Xiaoxiao's room.
"Pavilion Master, how come the people from the Nether Clan suddenly attacked our Rongbao Pavilion?" Nangong Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "We didn't provoke the Nether Clan!"
Ye Qiu said: "If my guess is correct, they came for Xiaodie."
"Her?" Nangong Xiaoxiao was surprised.
"I'm afraid Xiaodie's identity is not simple. Sister Xiaoxiao, you must take good care of her. In addition, everyone in Rongbao Pavilion must be very alert recently to prevent people from the Nether Clan from coming again." Ye Qiu finished speaking and prepared.
Go find Ning'an.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Nangong Xiaoxiao hugged him from behind.
