The guards at the gates of Nine Underworlds City were also fully armed and stationed there on watch.
When they saw Ji Canghai arrive, they came forward one after another to ask his purpose and demanded that he present a pass token.
Ji Canghai expressionlessly took out his Identity Token and showed it to the guards. The few guards immediately went pale and hurriedly knelt to apologize.
"Please forgive us, Elder Ji Canghai!"
Ji Canghai silently put away his Identity Token. He did not argue with them, but simply led Lin Bai and the others toward the city without saying a word.
With Ji Canghai clearing the way ahead, the guards naturally did not dare to stop Lin Bai, Manor Lord Mei, and the others. The group entered Nine Underworlds City without incident.
They passed through the city gates and stepped onto the streets.
The banners of the various shops lining both sides of the road fluttered in the wind. Inns and restaurants were everywhere, while the treasures displayed at the shops and stalls dazzled the eye.
This was a genuine underground city.
Moreover, after tens of thousands of years of management by the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace, this place had become orderly and well-regulated, with no sign of chaos.
That was only to be expected.
Lin Bai had already marveled earlier... The Nine Underworlds Demon Palace possessed an extremely complete organizational structure, with a clear hierarchy and ironclad laws.
Even after the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace had fallen, many of the ancient rules and rites in the present Devil Realm Eastern Region still carried on the traditions of the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace.
Since the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace had been able to build such a vast city beneath the earth, Lin Bai felt that it was only natural.
