Suppression

"How so?"

"Quickly, get out of here!"

"The exit is gone, and I can't access my Mo River Register."

The Wang Family members who followed Li Hao in quickly tried to calm themselves down, and they all became somewhat nervous. It wasn't just because they were afraid of dying, but because many of them were powerful figures in the Wang Family. If they all perished here, it would be a huge blow to the Wang Family.

The merging of the Mo River of Death is an extremely rare occurrence, yet they somehow stumbled upon it—it's almost unbelievable!

"Uncle Zhendong, why aren't you leaving?"

Wang Yongzhi also tried calling out the Mo River Register, but to no avail, and couldn't help but look at Wang Zhendong.

This Pillar of the Sea of the Wang Family still brought them a great sense of security at this moment.

"Of course I'm leaving, but I plan to stay here a little longer to observe the merging of this Mo River, and that Hell Mo River..."

Wang Zhendong frowned and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we leave now and come back next time, this place will probably have been completely merged with the Nether Domain Level Mo River in the Hell Mo River. Without the simple rules protecting it, we'll be trapped in Hell. Even I might die. This is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the Hell-level Mo River."

"And what's this from you guys? You all suddenly brought in so many people at once."

At this point, he looked at Wang Yongzhi with some dissatisfaction.

Wang Yongzhi immediately understood what the Zhendong's uncle was thinking. Now that the two Mo River had merged, although they were suppressed by the rules of this Nether Domain Level Mo River, this Mo River was also resisting the Hell-level Mo River. Therefore, the rules actually protected them.

Otherwise, the suppressed forces would be Hell rules, which would be extremely terrifying, and even Dao Domain might not be able to resist them.

"Uncle Zhendong, do you know how to leave?"

Wang Yongzhi quickly inquired.

I originally planned to come and see how Li Hao would resolve the Nether Domain Mo River of Death, and also to try and build a closer relationship with him.

Tying these people together would have been a leisurely trip through the Nether Domain Level Mo River, but now it feels like they've been caught in a downpour the moment they stepped outside, and it's even hail-laden.

Seeing their tense expressions, Wang Zhendong snorted coldly, knowing that now was not the time to reprimand them, and said:

"The rules here are reversed now. The original path out has disappeared. In the deepest part, you all have tokens, right? I'll take you Past."

Upon hearing that there was still a way out, Wang Yongzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure, at least outwardly.

"Some."

Wang Yongzhi nodded. He already knew about the Nether Domain Mo River and carried a token with him to ensure he could leave at any time.

He turned to Li Hao and said, "Divine General Haotian, you've heard about the situation. It will soon become extremely dangerous here. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Before Li Hao could respond, Wang Zhendong suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did you call him?"

He had ignored Li Hao earlier, but he could tell Li Hao's identity. So young, yet he Mastery Dao Domain. There was only one such youth in the Great Yu territory at present, namely General Haotian of Liang Prefecture.

He was here on His Majesty's secret orders to personally serve that general and strive to clear the Nether Domain Mo River.

He could understand why His Majesty valued one person so highly; after all, that general was young and promising, and which Divine General Residence wouldn't envy and regret not having such a son?

But there is a huge difference between a general and Divine General; you can't get them wrong.

"Haotian..."

The two younger men beside Wang Zhendong were stunned, and then stared intently at Li Hao.

Wang Yongzhi could tell that Uncle Zhendong was extremely dissatisfied with their rash trip and was worried that he would take his anger out on Li Hao, so he quickly explained to him telepathically.

"What?"

Upon hearing Wang Yongzhi's telepathic message, Wang Zhendong's previously gloomy expression froze, and he looked at Li Hao with some shock.

Chong Er?

That Chong Er's far ahead on the Merit Board?

His achievements in establishing three prefectures were unparalleled All Under Heaven; was he also the one who created the Merit Treasure Trove?

Wang Zhendong was stunned for a moment, looking at that young face in disbelief.

But soon, he realized why Wang Yongzhi and his group had come so rashly; they must have wanted to see if this Chong Er had any special tricks for clearing the level.

His anger towards Wang Yongzhi and the others dissipated considerably. Putting himself in their shoes, he felt that he would probably want to come in and take a look if he were in their shoes.

"So young and promising, so young and promising indeed..."

Wang Zhendong sighed softly, but his mood seemed to have improved considerably. He didn't delay any longer and stood up, saying:

"Let's get you out of here first; it's dangerous."

While they were talking, Li Hao kept his Divine Soul focused on the dark fault line outside the town, sensing its approaching speed. It was very slow, almost like an ant crawling, but it was advancing every second. According to the current progress, it would be able to reach the buildings inside the town in a dozen or so hours.

Considering the increasing decay of the Mo River, the subsequent fusion process may accelerate.

Time is running out.

Li Hao looked at the Wang Family members who were about to take action and said to Wang Zhendong:

"Senior, do you have any clues or ideas on how to pass through this Mo River?"

"You still want to beat the game?"

Wang Zhendong's expression changed slightly as he stared at Li Hao. "It's impossible now. There used to be a way, but now that the Mo River has been merged, the Hell- level Principle will interfere. It will be very difficult to pass the level!"

I want to try it.

Li Hao looked at him seriously. "But I'll send you out first, and then I'll try it myself."

He came here not wanting to give up easily; he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't try his best.

Wang Yongzhi and the others also changed color, not expecting Li Hao to be so persistent. Could that Thief Saint be a relative of Li Hao?

"Divine General Haotian, you are still young and have a bright Future. There's no need to take risks here," Wang Yongzhi earnestly advised.

Li Hao glanced at him and shook his head slightly:

"Two different things."

Wang Yongzhi opened his mouth slightly, but then suddenly fell silent.

Indeed, they are two different things. One's own success and fame do not conflict with helping others. It's just that those who have made it to the top are often unwilling to make such sacrifices again and return to the mire.

Wang Zhendong gave Li Hao a deep look, then glanced at the thick black Dense Fog approaching the town, and whispered:

"After we get them out of here, I'll take you to find a solution."

"Uncle Zhendong..."

"Come on, stop being so wishy-washy!"

Wang Zhendong acted immediately, his Dao Domain quickly enveloping everyone. However, when it touched Li Hao's Dao Domain, it immediately felt immense resistance and could not cover them.

He felt a chill run down his spine; this young man's Dao Domain was incredibly powerful.

He was unaware of the details of Li Hao's killing of the Buddha Master, but during the battle of Qingzhou City, Li Hao publicly slayed Great Demon King, a feat witnessed by all. Now, having personally experienced it, he realized that his reputation was well-deserved.

Seeing that Li Hao seemed about to speak, Wang Zhendong immediately said, "Don't think you'll implicate me. I also want to observe the strangeness of this Hell Mo River."

According to their calculations, even destroying a regional-level Mo River would yield tens of thousands of merits.

If you pass the level, it could be a million!

Although this is Wang Family's speculation and no one can confirm it, there is a very high probability that it is true.

The Hell Mo River is extremely terrifying; all the Hell Mo River that have appeared within the territory are Forbidden Zone, without exception.

It should be noted that the Dragon City Fallen River was only at the Nether Capital Tier, yet it was already subject to territorial concessions to avoid it. The area within a thousand miles of the Hell-level Mo River is Forbidden Zone.

Thank you.

Seeing that the other party had said so much, Li Hao immediately stopped arguing.

Led by Wang Zhendong, they quickly flew Past the rear edge of the town.

Here, Black Mist churned, approaching the edge of the town.

"Quickly, you all go out first."

Wang Zhendong immediately spoke.

Wang Yongzhi and the others knew that they had become a burden at this point, and staying would only cause more trouble.

They immediately took out the token of the Nether Domain Mo River of Death, a pitch-black wooden plaque. They had collected many of these plaques in the Ancestral Shrine of the Mo River.

If an ordinary person comes here just to collect relics in the Ancestral Shrine, it is extremely dangerous, as there are many mutated Demon remnants that will attack.

But for the Wang Family, experts had already entered and cleared away the dangers inside; they only needed to figure out how to pass the level.

At that moment, Wang Yongzhi handed a copy to Li Hao, and then immediately called out his own Mo River Register.

One by one, sheets of Golden Paper appeared.

The golden light emanating from the Golden Paper seemed to draw them in, enveloping their bodies, while another portion fell onto the dark wooden plaque.

But the next moment, the wooden plaque, enveloped in golden light, suddenly turned into dust.

"Um?!"

Wang Zhendong's expression changed drastically.

Not only Wang Yongzhi, but all the other dozen or so wooden plaques shattered upon being touched by the golden light.

"This..."

Wang Yongzhi and the others' pupils contracted, their eyes filled with horror.

"The Mo River merged, the rules changed, and the tokens changed too!"

Wang Zhendong's usually composed expression changed drastically at this moment.

What was once a sure-fire escape route has unexpectedly changed.

Li Hao was slightly taken aback. The token from the Nether Domain Mo River of Death had failed. He quickly summoned his own Mo River Register, and the Golden Paper flew out.

Soon, Li Hao looked at the message on the Golden Paper, only to see that the exit token displayed on it was still "Qing Town Wooden Token".

But as he silently recited the tracking mantra, the golden light emanating from the Golden Paper pointed towards the darkness outside the town.

Li Hao was stunned. The token hadn't changed, but it seemed to have changed again.

Wang Zhendong also witnessed this situation, and when he saw the golden light being drawn into the thick black Dense Fog, his face turned ashen.

Wang Yongzhi and the others knew what this meant. They had been calm before, but now they were all trembling.

The token is in the Hell Mo River —doesn't that mean our escape route is blocked?!

"How so..."

Despair was evident in some people's eyes; despite their best efforts to restrain themselves, they could not hold it in.

Wang Yongzhi's face turned pale. He had thought he would come here happily, but instead, everyone was in dire straits. This was a miscalculation on his part as the Family Head.

"You guys wait here, I'll go give it a try."

Wang Zhendong said in a low voice, no longer caring about delaying. He shrank his Dao Domain, covering only himself, and his eyes sharpened:

"It doesn't seem to be deep enough yet. This Hell-level Mo River. I'll test whether my Dao Domain can withstand it!"

As he spoke, he rushed rapidly towards the Dense Fog outside the town.

As he approached the boundary between the town and the Dense Fog, the Dense Fog seemed to sense something, and its dark power transformed into tentacles that pulled and coiled around Wang Zhendong's body.

Wang Zhendong's Qi and Blood erupted, and his Dao Domain condensed outside his body, increasing its strength. He used the rules of the Dao Domain to fight against the rules of the Hell Mo River.

Soon, he took a step forward, stepping into the edge of the dark, Hell Mo River.

The surrounding black mist seemed to give way, and was actually forced to retreat by its body.

But soon, even more dark power surged forward, entangling and enveloping his body like countless Sharp Claws, tearing at his Dao Domain.

With a roar, Wang Zhendong unleashed his full power, causing the rules within his Dao Domain to clash wildly against the rules of the Mo River, but the Dao Domain was being compressed tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, black mist transformed into sharp spears and stabbed towards Wang Zhendong's back.

His Dao Domain was instantly torn open, and black energy rushed in. Wang Zhendong's body twitched, and the bluish-purple Meridians on his face bulged out.

He was greatly shocked. Was this the rule of Hell? Even with his Dao Domain, he could only hold out for a short while, less than two breaths.

This is still on the edge of the Hell Mo River!

Whoosh!

He hurriedly retreated, trying to escape, but the surrounding dark forces seemed to sense his thoughts and quickly surrounded and bound his limbs. Although he was trying to retreat rapidly, his body instead surged forward, and without any hindrance, it suddenly went dozens of meters deeper.

The rules of that Nether Domain Level Mo River were actually assimilated and manifested within this Hell Mo River.

Wang Zhendong's pupils contracted, and he immediately understood how terrifying this Hell-level Mo River of Death was.

It doesn't have just one rule, but... many!

He hadn't yet figured out the other unknown rules, but he knew the rules of the Nether Domain Level Mo River. At this moment, he could only control his thoughts and hold onto the Conviction of "charging forward."

But at that moment, his body actually sprinted forward, without retreating!

The rules have changed again!

Wang Zhendong felt a chill in his heart. Not only were there multiple rules, but these rules also alternated and changed constantly? Didn't that mean that within the Hell-level Mo River, it was impossible to discern the patterns of its rules, and one could only endure it head-on?

As he was shocked, the dark power spread and permeated, and Wang Zhendong felt his strength and vitality rapidly draining away.

I could almost hear Wang Yongzhi and the others calling anxiously.

He tried to turn his head, but his head remained motionless, while his body constantly shifted between reversing and not reversing.

Wang Zhendong had a feeling that there was a life force manipulating these rules in this Hell-level Mo River.

Just as he was in dire straits and preparing to unleash his trump card, suddenly, a vast power swept over him from behind.

The original dark forces were instantly pushed aside as if melting away ice and snow.

The various forces applied to his body instantly dissipated.

A long, strong hand grabbed his arm.

Wang Zhendong turned his head and saw layers of Dao Domain covering and enveloping his body.

One layer, two layers, three layers, Fourth Layer...

These Dao Domain, layered upon each other, exuded a terrifying power!

However, the rules of the Dao Domain did not affect him; instead, they protected his body.

The dark power from all around collided with the outermost Dao Domain, constantly trying to penetrate, but it was blocked.

Wang Zhendong counted them; there were a full Tenth Layer!

"Walk."

Li Hao pulled him behind him and flung him toward the town behind them. "I'm going to find them. Take care of them, wait for me."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, stepping over Wang Zhendong and rushing into the thick black Dense Fog.
