Chapter 513 Dark Zone King
Early the next morning.
The people of Longyuan Kingdom saw the servants of the He family fleeing from the mansion in panic.
Before leaving, each servant carried large or small bags, and it was obvious that they took away a lot of the He family's belongings.
There was really nothing to take, so even the stone lions and centuries-old trees at the gate of He's mansion were not spared.
The people didn't know why, but soon, most of the He family members had left, and the house was empty and quiet.
The brave people formed a team and entered the He family, only to find out that the father and son of the He family had been killed by their enemies.
At this time, the Lu family was happily enjoying a sumptuous meal.
"Eat as much as you want." Patriarch Lu said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of food this time. When you leave, take some with you."
After the meal, the friends couldn't persuade the head of the Lu family, so they took a lot of food and daily necessities with them before setting off.
Lu Jinan didn't ask them what they were going to do next, because he couldn't help at all. He still had to stay in Longyuan Country to deal with the He family's funeral.
"Be careful on the road. If you need any help, the Lu family will always be here, and I will be here too." Lu Jinan said.
Ruan Xihe nodded, waved, turned around, and walked away freely.
The clue about Nether City that the friends got from Zhaotian Pavilion was a detailed route map with many small details attached.
In addition to this, there was a sealed letter.
According to Mo Yuan, after the people from Zhaotian Pavilion handed these things to them, they specifically reminded them not to open the letters while on the road.
It is said that the route map is the route to the 'Dark Zone'. After arriving in the Dark Zone, show this letter to the people in the Dark Zone, and the people in the Dark Zone will tell them the way to the Nether City.
Following this roadmap, one month later, they finally arrived at the so-called 'dark zone'.
Unlike the mixed environment they had imagined, the order in the dark zone was very good, even more standardized than other places they had come across along the way.
Moreover, there are special receptionists in the dark zone. When they see "outsiders" like Ruan Xihe and the others, these receptionists will come up to them and ask them why they come to the dark zone.
If anyone with bad intentions is found, they will be "politely" asked to leave by the receptionists.
Ruan Xihe took out the letter and handed it to the receptionist.
The letter wasn't even opened, and the receptionist's eyes narrowed when he saw the flower pattern printed on the back of the envelope.
"This is......"
He took the letter with trembling hands, his expression full of respect, "Dear guests, how come you have a letter from the king?"
"Who is your king?" Ruan Xihe looked at the receptionist.
The receptionist looked at him with sincerity and responded firmly, "It is the King of our Dark Zone."
After that, he added: "The seal on this envelope is the exclusive totem of our king."
The receptionist said this and turned sideways.
The friends immediately noticed that in the dark area behind the receptionist, both the ground and the surrounding buildings were engraved with flower patterns of varying sizes.
It's exactly the same as the pattern on the envelope.
Gongzi Heng quietly tugged at Jimo Qianyi's sleeves and said, "The king of the dark zone, could he be the master behind Zhaotian Pavilion?"
Jimo Qianyi shook his head and said nothing, and at the same time signaled Gongzi Heng not to talk nonsense in front of the dark zone reception.
Gongzi Heng immediately understood and shut his mouth.
The receptionist slowly opened the letter under the watchful eyes of his friends.
"I see..." He read the contents of the letter and nodded, "Everyone, please follow me."
The receptionist turned and left, motioning Ruan Xihe and the others to follow.
The friends looked at each other and followed the receptionist.
It seemed that very few outsiders entered the dark area, so the people living in the dark area were very curious about them and kept craning their necks to watch.
The receptionist brought them into a building.
"Please wait here for a while, my dear guests."
After saying that, the receptionist entered the building.
Not long after, he came out holding a small strip.
The receptionist nodded to Ruan Xihe and the others, motioning them to continue following, and then they followed the receptionist out of the city from another exit.
The receptionist took out a small strip, shook it in front of Ruan Xihe and the others, and then placed it neatly on the ground at their feet.
As soon as the small strip touched the ground, it slowly merged into the ground.
Then, Ruan Xihe saw that a guiding 'route' appeared on the ground beneath his feet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the route to Nether City." The receptionist said, "Because Nether City is closed and not visible to the world, the king cannot tell you the route directly. This route will disappear after you arrive in Nether City."
"Thank you." The friends thanked the receptionist together.
The receptionist was stunned for a moment. He had been working as a receptionist for many years and had met all kinds of people. This was the first time someone thanked a servant like him in a nice voice. He was somewhat uncomfortable.
Complex emotions quietly arose in my heart.
The receptionist tightened his throat and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic for the kindness of the little friends.
He reminded them: "Although the king told you the route to Nether City, Nether City has been closed for many years. It may be difficult for you to enter the city."
"Besides, since few people go to Nether City, the road may be deserted and there are many dangers along the way. If you are not fully confident and prepared, it is not recommended to set out directly. You can prepare yourself in the city now and then..."
The receptionist spoke for a long time, the gist of which was to advise them not to worry.
But in the end, the friends did not choose to go back to the city, but set off directly.
The receptionist watched them leave and could only pray for them silently in his heart.
After walking for several days, they did encounter many unexpected things along the way. There were dense thorns ahead, but the route showed that they had to pass through the thorns.
Either there is a cliff ahead, but the route still shows moving forward.
Finally, after experiencing various "accidents", the friends saw the city about a hundred meters away one day.
There is a building in the city that soars into the clouds, which makes the children feel shocked from a distance.
"It is rumored that the Netherworld Tower in Netherworld City is extremely tall. Now I finally see it for myself..." Hua Yu murmured.
Ruan Xihe looked at him curiously, "How do you know so much about Xizhou?"
"......" Hua Yu was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's a long story, let's talk about it later."
The city is right in front of us.
Everyone was as excited as if they had been walking in the desert for a long time and finally saw a source of water. They wanted to quickly walk the last hundred meters or so.
But gradually...
The friends noticed something was wrong.
