Slater took the scroll and spatial equipment from Huo Ling's hands.
These were items Huo Ling had specially prepared for this occasion.
The scroll detailed what Slater needed to do next and recorded the spatial coordinates of the Nine Hells.
Although, due to the unique nature of the Nine Hells, cross-planar teleportation was impossible, and one could only descend layer by layer.

Just as Huo Ling had been shocked upon seeing Nessus's Malsheem Fortress back then, Slater was equally stunned.
