They immediately sealed off the entire Underworld.
Not only were the people from the Soaring Realm Underworld horrified, but even Tan Feng and Envoy Tao were stunned.
No, so direct?
Is this a case of making an example of someone as soon as one comes to power?
Clearly, the people from the Soaring Realm Underworld shared this view. One of them, who appeared to be of high status and was the head of the Soaring Realm's envoys, quickly waved his hand and said, "This matter must be reported to the Lord of the Underworld first. This is too big for us to decide!"
Xiao Hei glanced over, then looked at Envoy Tao and said, "Shouldn't the Nine Nether Underworld Lord have the right to rule over all the underworld Underworld?"
Envoy Tao understood and nodded, saying, "The Underworld will unconditionally obey your orders, Lord Nether Lord."
Xiao Hei then looked at Tan Feng and asked, "What is the crime of disobeying the Nether Lord's orders?"
Tan Feng replied, "Remove from office; in serious cases, execution and reincarnation."
Xiao Hei nodded, and without wasting any more words with the envoy leader, waved his hand and said, "Alright, execute him."
Those present were startled.
Even Tan Feng couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
Although Xiao Hei's style of doing things is somewhat similar to that of the Lord of the Nether Lord, this method of establishing authority is far too simple and crude...
This might provoke discontent from other parts of the Underworld.
Just then, a voice rang out, " The Soaring Realm Underworld, following the instructions of the new Nether Lord, is to immediately seal off the Underworld!"
The sound reverberated throughout the entire Soaring Realm Underworld.
A barrier constructed from the Power of Reincarnation enveloped the entire Underworld, allowing entry but not exit.
As the voice faded, a man in black appeared before the head of the envoys, cupping his hands in greeting to Xiao Hei, saying, "The Lord of the Soaring Realm pays respects to the new Nether Lord."
He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Tan Feng and Envoy Tao.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei stopped pursuing the head of the envoys and looked at the Lord of the Soaring Realm, asking, "What's the deal with the weapons in He Zhou?"
He Zhou took out the spear that had been broken into three pieces.
The assistant from the Soaring Realm frowned, then explained, "Seven hundred years ago, someone forcibly tore open the Underworld space and came here to try and bring a divine soul back to the mortal realm. However, we drove him back, and his weapon... this spear, fell into this place and was kept by the Underworld. He Zhou resonated with that spear, which is why he was given the opportunity to use it."
For someone from the Upper Realm to tear through the Underworld space to arrive here, it means their strength has at least reached the Star Vein Realm.
Moreover, even if Star Vein Realm expert forcibly tears open the Underworld space, they still need to withstand the impact of the enormous Power of Reincarnation, and they will basically be seriously injured.
Unless one's strength is comparable to Lu Changsheng's... then one can arrive in the Underworld unharmed.
Upon hearing this, Envoy Tao frowned and said, " The Underworld space has been torn apart by the Upper Realm. Trespassing into the Underworld is a serious matter. Why haven't I seen any reports about it?"
As the highest authority among the Yellow Springs Envoy of the Nine Nether Underworld, Envoy Tao also oversees the records of the myriad realms of the Underworld, and reports important information to Tan Feng after screening it.
There are too many things to do in the Underworld; it's impossible to put all the burdens on Tan Feng's shoulders.
The Lord of the Soaring Realm Underworld sighed and lowered his head, saying, "This is my dereliction of duty. I feel that since that person was sent back, and his soul wasn't taken away..."
"So, in order to avoid punishment, and because the Nether Lord had been gone for many years, and because I, Tan Feng, was easier to talk to than the Nether Lord, you kept it a secret?" Tan Feng interrupted the Lord of the Prefecture.
The Lord of the Soaring Realm remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
"We'll settle things all later. Are there any details we haven't mentioned?"
Hearing Tan Feng's follow-up question.
The messengers around the lord of the manor all had shifty eyes, opening their mouths and then closing them again.
"An item from the Underworld was taken by them..." the head envoy hurriedly added, "However, that item wasn't very important, and it had nothing to do with the Lord of the Underworld. At that time, the Lord of the Underworld was in seclusion, and I handled all the affairs on his behalf."
The prefect glanced at the envoy.
Xiao Hei also gave a cold laugh.
This scene looks so familiar.
The only difference is that the eldest brother was forced to take the blame, while this guy, being a good dog, took the blame voluntarily.
Tan Feng said directly, "First, remove him from his position as envoy, then go to the Nine Nether Underworld and cross the Naihe Bridge."
The messenger's face turned pale.
Those who cross the Naihe Bridge in the Upper Realm are reincarnated.
Those in the Underworld who cross the Naihe Bridge Helplessness suffer physical mutilation.
The pain to the soul caused by the dismemberment is unbearable for ordinary people, and the damage will take at least a hundred years to repair.
"Netherworld artifacts aren't important? Regardless of their grade, all artifacts sent to the Upper Realm could potentially be used as a medium to set up formations, allowing those from the Upper Realm to reach the Underworld without incurring any losses!" Envoy Tao roared, "You think you can hide this from us?! Your Soaring Realm Underworld can just wait to be punished!"
The manor lord nodded with a stern face.
Tan Feng then said, "Since an item from the Underworld was taken to the Upper Realm, it must be retrieved. However... I wonder if the other party used this underworld item to connect to the Underworld."
Xiao Hei knows.
Tan Feng was thinking of what the Nether Lord had said: someone was coveting the Nether Lord's position and wanted to control the Underworld.
Therefore, connecting to the Netherworld is inevitable.
The messenger hurriedly replied, "Over the years, no outsiders have dared to trespass into the Underworld, and we have also strengthened our patrols in this regard."
"Not finding it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Tan Feng frowned and said, "Moreover, the formation might already be set up."
Try to see things from the other person's perspective.
What should I do if it were me?
They must have set up formations during the struggle for the Nether Lord, sending the people they wanted to plant into the Underworld via teleportation arrays.
Although it is unknown how they will conceal their identities and evade the Underworld's inspections.
But this method is the most likely, without a doubt.
Xiao Hei shrugged and casually said, "That's simple. Just check everyone in the Soaring Realm Underworld again, and then check if there are any traces of formations here."
If you want to teleport someone to the Underworld, then you'll need a two-way teleportation array.
Once something has been transmitted, it's impossible to avoid leaving traces.
The prefect immediately said, "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away..."
Xiao Hei waved his hand. "No, I don't trust your people."
The manor lord gritted his teeth, but the problem lay with them, and Xiao Hei was right, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Tan Feng nodded, agreeing with him, and said, "Leave the patrol to me and Envoy Tao. As for the formations... we'll need to find more people; after all, neither of us is an expert in formations."
Unless the formation is of a low level, people like Tan Feng and Envoy Tao, who are not proficient in formations, can still detect the relevant traces by relying on their strength.
It can be combined with the formations of the Underworld... so its level won't be low.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll call someone over."
Call for backup?
Tan Feng and Envoy Tao were taken aback.
"My junior brother learned all his Array Dao from our master."
