Chapter 1316

Ximen Wudi said indifferently.

A look of hesitation flashed in the man's eyes.

Ximen Wudi stared at the other party with a calm face.

"What is your condition?"

The man gritted his teeth and said.

"Help me defeat someone; this person is called Heavenly Demon, and his strength has reached the Half-Step Martial Emperor level. If you can kill him, then I will agree to one condition of yours."

Ximen Wudi said in a deep voice.

"What, this person is a Half-Step Martial Emperor!"

"How is this possible? Who exactly are you, and why do you want to help him take revenge?"

"And he is a member of the Heavenly Demon Palace!"

The man said in shock.

"That's none of your concern."

"I might as well tell you, he is my master's disciple. If he dies at my hands, I think that tycoon will definitely blame me, or even vent his anger on you. Can you afford to bear that?"

Ximen Wudi hooked the corner of his mouth into an evil arc and said.

Immediately, the man's expression changed, shifting constantly.

He naturally did not want to be targeted by Ximen Wudi, so he naturally had to go all out to kill the Heavenly Demon.

As for the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, he absolutely could not afford to provoke him; he even had to be extremely careful in dealing with the other party himself.

Now that Ximen Wudi had mentioned his master again, his heart was filled with fear.

"Alright, I agree to you!"

In the end, the man yielded to Ximen Wudi's deterrence and agreed to the other party.

"Very good!"

A cold glint flashed in Ximen Wudi's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a ball of black flame appeared out of thin air.

"This is the Demonic Flame I condensed after devouring the demonic energy within your body; it possesses heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power."

"Refine it, completely transform your power into your own, and then that will be the day of your resurrection."

Ximen Wudi said indifferently.

"Are you insulting me?"

"You want to destroy me with a mere Demonic Flame? That is simply wishful thinking!"

The man's expression turned angry, and he shouted coldly.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you; anyway, if you don't refine this Demonic Flame, your soul will eventually be extinguished."

"By then, even if you want to save your life, it will be impossible!"

Ximen Wudi looked at the other party and said indifferently.

"You..."

"Although this Demonic Flame is extraordinary, it cannot do anything to me."

"I would rather choose a path to end my own life than choose to take the risk of refining it!"

The man snorted coldly, his eyes projecting a look of determination.

"It seems you are determined not to submit to me!"

Ximen Wudi looked at the man and shouted coldly.

"Yes!"

The man shouted without hesitation.

Ximen Wudi's eyes tightened, he grabbed the man, and slapped him across the face.

The man staggered, almost falling to the ground, his cheek swollen incredibly.

"This slap represents my punishment for you; if you dare to defy me again, the outcome will be very miserable!"

Ximen Wudi said coldly.

"I understand!"

The man said with his head lowered, but his eyes flashed with unwillingness and resentment.

Subsequently, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

Rumble!

As the man sat down, a powerful aura erupted from his body.

The power within his physical body was soaring at a terrifying speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the man's realm stepped from the peak of the Heaven Realm into the Earth Realm.

The residual power within his body was also completely refined, restoring him to an ordinary human body.

"Finally broke through."

"It seems you had a chance to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, but it's a pity you don't have that fortune."

Ximen Wudi stared at the man, his eyes filled with a cold, chilling glint, and said softly.

"Hmph, even if I die, I won't let you have an easy time!"

The man's eyes were filled with chilling killing intent, and he gritted his teeth and snorted.

"Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish!"

Ximen Wudi swept his gaze toward the other party and said.

Whoosh!

The man threw a punch and rushed toward Ximen Wudi.

He mobilized all the power in his body, gathering it all on his fist.

Boom!

The man's fist carried overwhelming power as it crashed toward Ximen Wudi.

Ximen Wudi's eyes tightened, and his body flickered to the side.

Bang!

The man's fist smashed into the spot where Ximen Wudi had just been standing.

The ground exploded, forming a deep pit.

Crack!

The man's fist was shattered, his entire arm was directly broken, and blood sprayed out, dripping onto the ground.

His eyes revealed a look of pain, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound, his face twisted severely, showing that he was in extreme pain at this moment.

"How is it? Do you want to continue?"

Ximen Wudi looked at the man and sneered.

"No... no... no more!"

The man shook his head, a hoarse sound coming from his mouth, his forehead covered in bean-sized sweat beads, his face incredibly pale.

This kind of pain far exceeded any torture, making one feel that life was worse than death, unbearable!

"Don't want to try anymore?"

"This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity; if you miss it, it will never appear again."

"I believe you don't want to perish just like this, right!"

Ximen Wudi said indifferently.

"Don't... don't torture me anymore..."

The man's expression was hideous, his eyes revealing a rich look of begging.

"Rest assured, I won't do that."

"Because I still need your help!"

Ximen Wudi looked at the man and shouted coldly.

"I can be your servant!"

The man said hurriedly.

"No, I don't need you to be my slave; what I need is someone who can help me."

"Although your strength is a bit weak, you are loyal enough."

"And you can also do things for me."

Ximen Wudi said.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I will follow your orders and look to you for everything."

The man looked at Ximen Wudi and said.

"It's very simple, just listen to my orders and help me find someone!"

"This person is called Xiao Yan; you must help me find him, I have urgent use for him."

Ximen Wudi looked at the man and said directly.

"Xiao Yan!"

Hearing these two words, the man's face changed slightly.

"What? Do you know him?"

Ximen Wudi looked at the other party and said coldly.

"No, I don't know him, but I know where he is!"

"He once helped me!"

"I owe him a favor; I don't know where he is now, but I can tell you a piece of news!"

"This news is very important to you!"

The man said in a deep voice.

"Speak!"

Ximen Wudi said in a deep voice.

"He is in the Nether City of the Nine Nether Domain!"

"According to the intelligence I obtained, the Nether City is one of the largest trading markets in the Nine Nether Domain; on this day every month, the Nether City holds a grand auction!"

"As long as you bid high enough, even that big shot from the Nine Nether Royal Clan will take action to compete."

"By then, he can use the auction to exchange for various rare treasures and obtain all kinds of items."

The man said.

"Do the people of the Nine Nether Royal Clan have a lot of influence in the Nine Nether Domain?"

Ximen Wudi asked.

"The Nine Nether Royal Clan is one of the four great royal clans of the Nine Nether Domain, and its clansmen possess endless resources to support them."

"Even their imperial family possesses some divine artifacts, which are treasures bestowed by great beings from the God Realm."

"Their influence in this Nine Nether Domain can be called terrifying."

"Even the three great sects and the other eight great families have to bow down to them!"

The man said.

"Nether City, huh?"

"Since he is there, let's go there and try our luck first!"

Ximen Wudi muttered to himself.

Immediately, Ximen Wudi left this area and arrived at a desolate mountain range.

There were a large number of demonic beasts here, as well as a huge, pitch-black space entrance, which was the Nether City.

This was the largest auction venue in the entire Nether Domain; whenever any treasure was auctioned, it would be auctioned here.

This Nether City was also known as the largest trading venue in the Nether Realm.

"Look, is there a token here?"

"It looks like it was made from a black stone!"

"I once heard someone mention that this thing was bestowed by a great being of the Nine Nether Royal Clan back then."

"It is said that the person was one of the Supreme Elders of the Nether Royal Clan."

"And the Palace Master of this Nether Palace also has a relationship with him."

The man pointed to the entrance of the Nether Palace and said.

"Nether Royal Clan!"

Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn.

"I know where this place is; take me there."

"If you are truly loyal to me, I guarantee I will reward you with a treasure that will make your cultivation speed twice as fast."

Ximen Wudi looked at the man and said.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

The man's eyes lit up.

Subsequently, Ximen Wudi and the man walked toward the Nether Palace.

"What is your name?"

"Where are you from?"

Ximen Wudi asked casually.

"My name is Ye Wuchen, and I am from the Ye Imperial Clan of the Eastern Continent."

"I am the Young Master of the Ye Imperial Clan and also the most outstanding genius in the clan."

"The clan ceremony will be held soon, and I will become the next generation's clan leader."

This Ye Wuchen looked at Ximen Wudi and said respectfully.

"People of the Ye Imperial Clan?"

"Isn't that one of the five top imperial clans of the Nether Domain, with a noble status and immense influence in the Nether Domain!"

Ximen Wudi's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he muttered to himself.

He had always been thinking about wanting to figure out that Nether Domain, and now there was a ready-made clue.

"Young Master, I have already obtained the information; the person you want is in this Nether City."

"I can take you to see him, but you have to agree to one request of mine!"

Ye Wuchen looked at Ximen Wudi and said.

"What request?"

Ximen Wudi said indifferently.

"After I become the new clan leader, you must marry me as your wife."

This Ye Wuchen said directly.

"You mean..."

Ximen Wudi's eyes shot out brilliant light, his expression appearing quite surprised.

"Yes!"

The man said in a deep voice.

"Alright, no problem, leave this matter to me!"

Ximen Wudi said directly, his gaze sweeping toward the Nether Palace.

He directly took Ye Wuchen and stepped into the Nether Palace, passing through layers of guarded restrictions to enter it.

Inside this Nether Palace, building after building was ancient and vicissitudinous, emitting an ancient and majestic aura, filled with endless traces of time, just like an ancient family that had been sleeping for billions of years.

Everywhere inside, stone tablets were standing tall.

This was the core forbidden area of the Nether Palace, where countless Nether clansmen existed, and it was also the manager of the Nether City.

In the center of this forbidden area stood a huge and magnificent palace.

This palace emitted a terrifying and overwhelming aura, as if it were the ruler of this Nether City.

"It's here, it's this room!"
