Chapter 191: Matter of the Underworld
Xiao Muchen had just broken through to the Doudi realm, and his heart was filled with joy and anticipation. He stood on an open grassland, and the breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of grass and wild flowers. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the boundless grassland stretched out into the distance like a giant green carpet, dotted with colorful flowers, like twinkling stars. The mountains in the distance were rolling, contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds, outlining a majestic and magnificent picture.
However, just as he was immersed in his beautiful vision of the future, the matter of the Hades suddenly broke into his mind like a thick dark cloud. The past grievances with the Hades were like a movie that was constantly replayed, clearly showing in his mind. The thrilling life-and-death contests, the underworld clan's cunning and treacherous means to achieve their goals, and especially their repeated attempts to put him to death, all made Xiao Muchen frown tightly.
Xiao Muchen knew that the ambition and revenge of the Hades were extremely strong. If he left without any precautions and took Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang to pursue their dreams in the world, the Hades would inevitably pour all their anger that could not be vented on him onto the Lingyun Sect, the Bingpo Saint Lion Clan, and the Lin Clan behind him. It would be an unimaginable disaster, countless innocent lives might be lost, and relatives and friends would be plunged into dire straits.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muchen's eyes became firm and resolute, like the brightest star in the cold night. He stood on the top of a towering mountain, his clothes rustling in the strong wind. The rocks under his feet were jagged, and the clouds around him were rolling. "No, we can't just leave like this." His voice was low and powerful, as if it was a solemn oath from deep in his chest. Every word echoed in the valley with great determination. "As long as the threat of the Hades is not eliminated, we will not have peace. In order to protect everything we cherish, we must first solve the problem of the Hades, so that we can go out into the world without any worries."
Lin Wan'er, who was standing aside, was wearing a light pink dress, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the wind, like a beautiful flower blooming in the wind. A trace of anger and determination flashed across her beautiful face, and her fair skin glowed charmingly in the sun. She clenched her fists, and the joints of her fair hands turned white because of the force. "Mu Chen, you are right. The Hades have committed many evil deeds, and have brought us too much pain and loss over the years. We can no longer tolerate them continuing to do evil." Anger burned in her beautiful eyes, and her bright eyes were like burning flames. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, like silk, as if she wanted to burn all the evil deeds of the Hades.
Ling Shuang was dressed in a black outfit, looking heroic and showing off her slender and agile figure. The chill in her eyes was chilling, like a peerless sword about to be unsheathed, extremely sharp. "This time we must make them never dare to covet us again." Her voice was cold and resolute, like the biting wind in the cold winter, and every word seemed to carry the chill of frost. "We must make the Hades pay a heavy price for what they have done."
Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down so that he could think about the countermeasures more calmly. He looked at the mountains in the distance, his eyes deep, as if he could see through the unknown behind the mountains. The mountains were shrouded in mist, like a dream, but he had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery at the moment, and was only thinking about the difficult battle he was about to face. "Then we will set off immediately and take the initiative to attack. We can't give the Hades any chance to prepare." His eyes were full of decisiveness and courage, as if burning with a fire that would never go out.
The three of them no longer had any hesitation. They were in tune with each other, and their figures flashed and instantly turned into three streams of light, rushing towards the direction of the Hades like arrows.
Along the way, Xiao Muchen's heart was always restless. While flying rapidly, he kept thinking about various possible situations and coping strategies in his mind. He knew that the Hades were not ordinary people. They had powerful strength and mysterious means. This battle would be a fierce battle, and there could be no negligence or carelessness.
They flew over the mountains, the peaks towering into the clouds, the steep cliffs as if they were cut by a knife and an axe. The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and sometimes there were waterfalls pouring down from the cliffs, splashing water and making thunderous roars. The waterfall was like the Milky Way falling from the sky, magnificent, but it could not attract their attention for a moment. But they had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery, and they only wanted to get to the land of the underworld as soon as possible.
They passed through a dense forest, with old trees towering into the sky, their branches and leaves intertwined to form a green sky. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light, like golden fragments scattered all over the ground. The birds in the forest were startled by their momentum and flew away, chirping in waves. The sound was crisp and pleasant, but it could not disrupt their thoughts. The small animals also hid in their caves, not daring to show their faces.
As they got closer to the territory of the Hades, Xiao Muchen could feel a tense atmosphere in the air. The originally clear sky gradually became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing that a storm was coming. The dark clouds were as heavy as ink pouring down, and it was almost impossible to breathe.
Finally, the dark territory of the Hades appeared in their sight. The towering city walls were built of black boulders, exuding a strange atmosphere, like a huge cage. On the city walls, there was a watchtower at intervals. The guards on the towers looked alert, holding crossbows, and the arrows flashed coldly in the dim light, ready to attack the invading enemies at any time.
There is a wide moat under the tower. The water is dark and emits a pungent smell, as if it hides countless dangers. Occasionally, strange ripples appear on the water surface, which makes people shudder. The city gate is closed, and the huge iron gate is inlaid with sharp iron nails, giving people a feeling of being indestructible.
Xiao Muchen stopped and hovered in the air, his sleeves fluttering. Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang also stopped, their hair gently dancing in the wind. The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and resoluteness.
"Are you ready?" Xiao Muchen asked softly. His voice was particularly clear in the silent air, yet it was filled with unquestionable firmness.
"We are ready to fight at any time!" Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang answered in unison, their voices full of fearless courage. Their voices were clear and loud, and seemed particularly inspiring in this depressing atmosphere.
Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Then let's declare war on the Hades together for justice, for peace, and for our future!"
Their voices echoed in this silent space, like rolling thunder, breaking through the oppressive dark clouds and announcing the beginning of a life-and-death battle.
