Set Out at Once

Yu Hai turned around and looked toward the depths of the cave, where a dark red light flickered incessantly. Greed and anticipation flashed in his crimson eyes.

The Nine Nether Passage... Once it was complete, the Outer Realm Sky Demon army could descend in an endless stream. Then this rich continent would be theirs for the taking.

In the shadow of a jagged boulder a hundred feet outside the cave, a violet figure, nearly imperceptible, lay concealed.
