The Nine Nether Ghost Flame was a rare treasure in the Netherworld. If word of it got out, countless Ghost Kings would likely fight tooth and nail to claim it. What was more, the Nine Netherworld Land was where the various factions were most concentrated. If the Heavenly Ghost King dared to march in with a massive army, he would be discovered in less than two days, stirring up all sorts of trouble.
Thus, the group traveled light. They took only the Heavenly Ghost King's personal vessel: a warship just a few dozen zhang long, yet crafted at the cost of countless Spirit Stones. In terms of speed, stealth, and combat power, the ship was exceptional.
There weren't many of them, either. The Heavenly Ghost King's side consisted of only the Heavenly Ghost King, Tu Lei, and ten capable high-rank Ghost Generals. Lei Dong's side had all four of them together. Lei Dong had originally wanted Qi Feifei to stay behind in Heaven Ghost City to recuperate, but she refused to be separated from him no matter what. In the end, he had no choice but to bring her along. Her soul wound had recovered only six or seven tenths, but fortunately, her cultivation was intact, so she could protect herself well enough. Besides, once they entered the abyss, she would stay aboard the warship.
To keep Qi Feifei safe, Lei Dong gave her forty Yin Sha Heavenly Thunder at once. With such life-saving treasures, even if she ran into someone at the Nascent Soul level alone, she could force them back.
As they traveled, Lei Dong began learning from the Heavenly Ghost King about the insights and experiences he had gained in practicing the Netherworld Series Spells.
The Heavenly Ghost King once again showed how much he cared for
