Jiang Chen wanted to look into it further, only to find very few records of that Yama King on the Underworld App. Even with Level Two Permission, he could only access a few scattered words.
He stopped dwelling on it. Looking up, he happened to see a mountain ahead. After a moment's thought, he raised the loudspeaker and shouted.
"See that mountain?"
"Life is like climbing. Only by scaling higher peaks can you see more beautiful scenery."
"Cross this mountain and let the world hear your voices!"
"..."
"By the way, Wu Tong, I remember there shouldn't be any more mountains on this route back to Jiangbei, right?"
In the middle of the group, Wu Tong stopped, bracing her hands on her knees after running herself breathless. Panting, she said, "Y-yes, Grandmaster Jiang. This is the road to Wangjiang City. You... you took the wrong road..."
The atmosphere among the group froze briefly. Then streams of resentment shot skyward.
Jiang Chen looked somewhat surprised. "No wonder. I was just wondering why we weren't there yet."
"By the way, if we turn left up ahead, isn't there a road that loops back?"
Wu Tong hurriedly waved her hands. "No, no. That would be a huge detour, nearly three times the original distance. We'd be better off turning back."
"I, Jiang Chen, have a principle: I never turn back!" Jiang Chen suddenly grew stubborn.
"Brothers, hang in there a little longer! We'll forge ahead without looking back. Once you've made it through this difficult road, you'll become better versions of yourselves!"
With that, he floored the accelerator and sped away.
The patients and Netherworld Messengers opened their mouths amid the billowing dust.
You fucking...!?
"Fuck! Ghost Qi +999!... Ghost Qi +..."
And so the enormous group swept down the highway, resentment soaring
