Chapter 14882 Even Elder Hong couldn't kill him?
Black Impermanence wanted to say something more, to continue persuading Ling Xiao, or to insist on accompanying him, but Ling Xiao interrupted him first, his tone becoming more forceful:
"Senior, don't waste any more time. The longer Pearl stays in this dangerous place, the more danger she will face. Your return to the town as soon as possible and guarding the gates will be the greatest help you can give me."
Having said that, he didn't linger. With a thought, his divine power surged beneath his feet, and his figure transformed into a pitch-black afterimage, instantly disappearing into the darkness in the distance. His speed was astonishing, leaving only a faint fluctuation of divine power, which was quickly and completely concealed by the Yin energy of hell.
Black Impermanence stood there for a moment, gazing in the direction where Ling Xiao had disappeared, sighed softly, and finally turned and left.
He also understood that staying here wouldn't be of much help. With his strength, he would struggle to even protect himself in the face of the dangers deep within hell. Even if Xiao Lianzhu really encountered trouble, he would be powerless to intervene and would only become a burden to Ling Xiao.
Even someone as powerful as Xiao Lianzhu had to be careful to deal with the dangers here, so what could he do?
Rather than staying here and causing trouble, it's better to follow Ling Xiao's orders, return to the underworld town, and guard the defenses to prevent the evil spirits in hell from escaping. That would be doing my part.
On the other side, Ling Xiao sped through the darkness and soon stopped. With a thought, the holy runes around his body lit up, and the Concealing Holy Rune Array was formed again, completely concealing his aura, divine power, and even the fluctuations of his soul. As if he had merged into the darkness, he continued to move forward silently.
He asked himself in a deep voice:
“Miss Xia Ming, I clearly concealed my presence just now, so how was that woman in black able to detect my presence? Logically speaking, the concealment effect of the Sacred Rune Array should not be so easily detected.”
After a few breaths, Xia Ming's solemn voice rang out in Ling Xiao's mind, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness:
"The space you are in now is not an ordinary hellish place, but a domain, a domain that has been forcibly refined by someone."
"In someone else's territory, all your concealment methods will be detected by the owner of the territory, no matter how well you hide, it will be of no use."
Ling Xiao's expression changed drastically, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and his tone was filled with disbelief:
"Don't try to fool me!"
"This is just a space deep within hell, how could it possibly be a domain?"
"Domain-level experts are extremely rare, how could they appear here?"
Xia Ming's tone grew increasingly serious, devoid of any hint of jest:
“I’m not kidding you. This is a domain, and it’s a domain that the Black Death King personally refined. You’ve stepped into someone else’s territory, and every move you make is under the Black Death King’s control.”
"I suggest you retreat now, before the Black Death King has fully noticed you, and while there's still time, hurry back to the Underworld Town. Don't just throw your life away here."
In someone else's territory!
Ling Xiao's heart sank. He subconsciously looked around and saw that the darkness was still boundless, with evil spirits and ghosts wandering all around. It seemed peaceful, but in fact, it was full of hidden dangers. The thought that his every move was being monitored by the Black Death King made a chill instantly rise from the bottom of his heart.
But he quickly suppressed his apprehension and asked in a deep voice:
"Since this is the Black Death King's territory, can you locate Pearl's position?"
How is she now?
Xia Ming asked helplessly, his tone tinged with disappointment:
"You're really not leaving?"
"To tell you the truth, the Black Death King's strength far exceeds your imagination. Even if Xiao Lianzhu really encounters danger, it is not something you can handle with your current level."
“If you go up now, you won’t be able to save her, and you’ll get yourself killed too. So I think you should take care of yourself first and get out of here as soon as possible. That’s the wisest choice.”
Ling Xiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination. He said in a deep voice:
"After arriving here, I felt something was wrong. That feeling of unease grew stronger and stronger. I dared not gamble, and I couldn't gamble. Pearl couldn't be harmed."
Xia Ming sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness, but he finally softened his tone and began to explain:
"Let me tell you about the origin of this place. I am probably one of the few people in this chaotic martial world who know its history."
"This place was originally just an ancient battlefield. During the ancient war, countless powerful people fell here. As more and more people died, their souls gathered here. Over time, countless evil spirits and vengeful ghosts accumulated. However, at that time, this place was not yet a significant place; it was just an ordinary gathering place for the dead."
She paused, then continued, her tone becoming more serious:
"Until later, the Black Death King came. He took a liking to the dense yin energy and dead souls here, so he forcibly refined this place into a hell, making it his lair."
"Back then, this area was governed by the Purgatory Kingdom, which is the country where your fiancée Xiao Lianzhu's ancestors lived. The Purgatory Kingdom has been committed to suppressing hell and protecting the chaotic martial world for generations."
"Back then, the Black Death King's strength increased dramatically, and he became ambitious, almost dragging the entire Purgatory Kingdom into hell and causing its complete destruction. Fortunately, he failed in the end and was suppressed here by the ancestors of the Purgatory Kingdom."
"For so many years, the Hell Royal Family has been trying to completely eliminate him. Unfortunately, the Black Death King is powerful and has the support of this hellish domain, so they have never succeeded. They can only pass it down from generation to generation to continue suppressing him."
Ling Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly asked:
"Just how strong is that Black Death King?"
"Is she even stronger than Pearl?"
Xia Ming said in a deep voice:
"Very strong, stronger than you can imagine."
"Back then, the Lord of Purgatory Kingdom personally invited Elder Hong here, hoping that Elder Hong could completely eliminate the Black Death King to prevent future troubles. However, for some reason, Elder Hong did not take action in the end, but only left behind the words 'Cause and effect are predetermined' before turning around and leaving."
Ling Xiao frowned deeply, his eyes filled with doubt:
"Is it that Elder Hong can't kill him?"
"Even with Elder Hong's strength, he couldn't eliminate the Black Death King?"
Xia Ming denied it without hesitation:
"impossible."
"With Elder Hong's strength back then, he had already reached the legendary realm. Destroying the Black Death King would have been a piece of cake for him."
"He didn't take action, there must be other considerations, perhaps due to some cause and effect, or perhaps there is another arrangement."
"Also, think about it carefully. Xiao Lianzhu is already strong enough. Even she couldn't destroy this place and could only barely suppress the Black Death King. You should understand how complicated this place is."
Xia Ming paused, then tried to persuade him again:
"Honestly, this kind of place is not for someone of your current level. You're only at the late stage of the Upper Lord realm. Here, any Hell expert could easily crush you."
"You should leave here first and go elsewhere to train. Once you've improved your cultivation and gained enough strength, it won't be too late to come back and find Xiao Lianzhu."
