Chapter 717: Chapter 717: The Rebellion of the Demon Monkey

"Your Majesty, do you need me to block them?"

Yang Jian asked with a fighting spirit, unable to restrain his desire to fight after witnessing Hou Yi’s display of divine might.

Meng Tian was also staring at Qin Jun with gleaming eyes. Hearing this, Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, and he said irritably, "Do you think we’re here to fight? The main target is this city. Follow me inside!"

Nether Lord City had stood for countless years; it was certainly not just the work of the void Wolf Demons.

The surrounding dark green qi was enough to deter most people.

Arriving at the iron gate, Qin Jun frowned deeply because he saw that inside were all corpses, turned to skeletons, yet their clothing was not covered in dust, indicating they hadn’t been dead for long.

Could these be the first batch of cultivators who entered Nether Lord City?

Carrying this suspicion, Qin Jun and the rest walked into the city, with Hou Yi leading the way.

The corridor was wide, a full ten meters across, and littered with skeletons. Qin Jun and the rest tread carefully, careful not to touch any of the bones.

The light was dim, but fortunately, they were not ordinary humans, and seeing in the dark was not a difficult task for them.

Elsewhere, cultivators and monsters rushed up the walls of Nether Lord City. Not all beings were as cautious as Qin Jun and his party; some creatures brazenly charged into the dark green qi, and some hot-tempered cultivators and monsters directly invoked their magic, breaking through the iron gates and barging into the buildings.

"Ahhh!"

At that moment, a cultivator suddenly started screaming in agony, clutching his face, which was covered in bloody scratches he had inflicted upon himself. His bulging eyes, filled with blood vessels, were a horrific sight.

Soon after, other cultivators began to cry out in agony, each enveloped in dark green qi. On a microscopic level, this qi was made up of tiny insects, invisible even to Daluo Realm powerhouses.

Before long, some monsters also began to roll on the ground and howl in pain.

This situation spread rapidly like a plague. For a time, screams echoed throughout Nether Lord City.

The cultivators and monsters who were heading towards Nether Lord City stopped in mid-air, terrified.

"What’s going on?"

"Could it be that this tomb of gods contains the ghosts of gods and immortals?"

"Cut the bull. It must have something to do with that mysterious mist!"

"Holy Emperor of Qin has already entered. We must hurry!"

"Hurry? Are you eager to be reincarnated?"

The cultivators discussed among themselves, and even the demon soldiers under the monster ancestor’s command did so as well.

Even though the monster ancestor had died, his various levels of demon kings would not pass up this opportunity.

From a distance, the entirety of Nether Lord City was shrouded in dense dark green fog, hanging high in the ten-thousand-meter void, like a haunted castle, chilling and terrifying.

"Young Master, aren’t we leaving yet?"

A man in black from Young Master You’s entourage asked with a grave voice, his tone tinged with anxiety. The danger emanating from Nether Lord City was getting stronger, making him uneasy.

Leave?

Young Master You’s face turned an iron blue. The thought of Qin Jun’s triumphant posture made him uncomfortable.

Who was he?

The son of the Nether Emperor, Young Master You, a genius who could be ranked in the top ten in the whole world. Yet in the Central Wilderness battlefield, he could only shiver and watch Qin Jun’s subordinates wield divine might.

This humiliation made Young Master You hate Qin Jun even more.

"Boom—"

Just then, an explosion suddenly came from the north, startling many people to turn their heads.

They saw the Six-Eared Macaque shouldering an iron rod, his back undulating wildly, and next to him flesh and blood were scattered, with fragments of the Oni Demon King’s armor vaguely visible.

The Six-Eared Macaque swiftly reached out and captured the Oni Demon King’s Primordial Spirit out of thin air, forcing it to reveal its form.

This scene moved many, with a demon lord cursing on the spot, "Six-Eared Macaque! What do you think you’re doing?"

But the words had hardly left his mouth when the Six-Eared Macaque glared at him. The demon lord shrank his neck on the spot, scared by the gaze filled with violent murderous intent, and dared not say another word.

"When the Six-Eared Macaque acts, whoever dares to obstruct, dies!"

The Six-Eared Macaque roared furiously. As he spoke, he clenched his right hand, directly crushing the Oni Demon King’s Primordial Spirit into oblivion, soul scattered and essence dispersed, with no chance of reincarnation after death.

The domineering demon monkey bellowed, and no demon lord dared to question him again.

After annihilating the Oni Demon King, the Six-Eared Macaque flew towards Nether Lord City.

That’s right, he had already planned to pledge allegiance to Qin Jun. It was a world where the victorious king rules and the defeated bandit perishes. Now, following Qin Jun was the wisest choice, and he wasn’t afraid of any schemes from Qin Jun. If Qin Jun had wanted to kill him, Hou Yi would have taken him down with a single arrow long ago.

Even the Demon Ancestor had been killed by two arrows; the Six-Eared Macaque, no matter how proud, had to face reality.

On the other hand, Qin Jun and his companions followed the corridors within the high tower, winding and twisting, arriving under Nether Lord City.

It turned out that beneath Nether Lord City was another world, vast in space, with buildings lined up along the streets, like a city within a city, only the roof was the earthy cave ceiling, without any daylight.

In the underground city, corpses were everywhere, their flesh and blood still present. However, most had been dismembered, a horrifying sight to behold.

"It seems something is hidden nearby," Bai Ze said with a light laugh, his eyes squinting.

The mighty warriors spread around Qin Jun, guarding against any sudden attacks. They were all Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses. Even Yang Jian possessed the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm, not to mention Hou Yi, who already stood at the pinnacle of the Daluo Realm.

Qin Jun nodded and asked in his mind, "System, since you can trigger compulsory tasks, can you tell me how to take control of Nether Lord City?"

Forcing me to do tasks without a hint?

Pushed to the limit, I might as well give up; there’s no rule on how a compulsory task is punished, anyway.

"If the task fails, the system will randomly punish the host, it could be a regression in realm, or could be a devastation of the flesh!" the system said coldly, causing Qin Jun to nearly explode with rage.

Fortunately, the system began to give hints the next second: "The host just needs to reach the center of Nether Lord City, obtain the Life Core, and let it recognize the master with a drop of essence blood. By then, Nether Lord City will be under the host’s control!"

Is it that simple?

Qin Jun pondered in doubt when suddenly, shadows in white ran out from between the buildings on both sides of the street, like phantoms.

"Hmmph!"

Hou Yi snorted coldly. With a stomp of his right foot, the white shadows that were attacking all around were shattered.

Qin Jun looked up to see that these white shadows were indeed like ghosts, humanoid in form with indistinct faces. They reformed after being blasted apart.

"These ghosts have the strength of at least Taiyi Mysterious Immortals!"

Bai Ze said in a deep voice. Gazing around, there were at least a thousand white shadows, utterly terrifying.

A thousand Taiyi Mysterious Immortals?

Qin Jun’s heart skipped a beat; such a lineup meant certain death for anyone who entered.

Even for Golden Immortals.

No wonder Nether Lord City had survived for over ten thousand years, or even longer.

With Wolf Demons guarding the outside and layers of dangers within, it was a deathtrap.

"Tsk tsk, such a lively place. I wonder if this Emperor might join in the fun!"

Just then, a high and mighty voice echoed from outside the city. Upon hearing it, Qin Jun and the others couldn’t help but tense up.

Even including Hou Yi.

"It’s him!" Hou Yi’s expression turned grim in an instant, and the Shooting Sun God Bow on his back trembled incessantly.

Qin Jun frowned, about to speak, when Bai Ze spoke with a grave expression, "Donghuang Taiyi!"
