"This exit is real."
With the Netherworld Sacred Eye, Ye Chen could easily see through the exit's authenticity. As for the Netherworld Ghost guarding it, he ignored it outright. So long as it was not a Mountain Ghost of level two or above, no ghostly creature posed any danger to him. A level-one Mountain Ghost was, at most, a particularly vicious beast. Defeating it would be difficult, but shaking it off would not take much effort.
With a flash of his figure, Ye Chen slipped into the hazy passage.
At the end of the passage, a black shadow flickered in and out of view. Behind it stood a white barrier, its rippling surface like flowing water, radiating biting cold.
Just as the shadow was about to attack Ye Chen, a streak of golden light flashed past, and the shadow immediately turned to nothingness.
With a pop!
Ye Chen passed through the white barrier.
"So cold! Could this be the depths of the Heavenly River?"
Ye Chen had experienced this cold in the depths of the Heavenly River before, and the deeper one went, the colder it became. The calm currents contained changes of space and time; without sufficient strength, one simply could not find a way out.
This was a massive island. At its center lay a lake. Suddenly, a pillar of water erupted from the middle of the lake, and a figure burst through the surface.
The figure was Ye Chen.
"So it was a lake within an island."
After looking around, Ye Chen understood.
Clearly, this place was similar to Volcano Island. Both were entrances to hell.
After leaving hell, Ye Chen released Crimson Wind Emperor and the other three.
"We're out. The outside world is still better." Crimson Wind Emperor let out a breath and smiled.
