" Chen Mu, are we just going to leave like this? Aren't you worried that Li Wei and the others won't be able to control those Nether Clan experts?"

Inside the carriage, Mingye chatted with Chen Mu while looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Don't worry! Although they aren't the strongest, they are reliable and well-liked. They can handle this kind of situation without any problems."

Chen Mu was quite at ease. He had personally designed the defenses of Iron Soul City, and as long as they were inside Iron Soul City, no one could kill Li Wei and her father.

Since Chen Mu said so, Mingye didn't ask any more questions and silently looked at the scenery outside the window.

They were riding their best mounts on their way to Nine Yama City, so they were moving very fast. If the journey was smooth, they should be able to reach Nine Yama City before dark.

However, it is not easy to move freely in the wild, especially for a large amount of goods like theirs, which will inevitably attract monsters and undead, and may even attract bandits.

Although the Manju Imperial Court has strict rules, there are always outlaws everywhere, let alone in the harsh environment of the Nine Nether Netherworld.

"Sir! Our scouts report that a large number of undead have been discovered in the canyon ahead. Should we take a detour?"

Gao Fenghai rode his demonic beast to the curtain of the carriage and reported to Chen Mu inside.

"No need! You can continue on your way; I'll handle it."

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, a long sword beside him shot into the sky, flew out of the window on the other side of the carriage, and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of blue light.

"Yes!"

Gao Fenghai glanced at the flying sword, suppressed his surprise, bowed respectfully, and then rode his demonic beast to the front of the caravan to continue leading the way.

Half an incense stick's time later, Gao Fenghai led the transport team to the front of the canyon. However, by this time, all the undead in the canyon had been eliminated, leaving only a long sword burning with blue flames hovering in the air. Then, it flew into Chen Mu's carriage with a whoosh.

After the longsword entered the carriage, it clattered down next to Chen Mu's seat. Having eaten and drunk its fill, Little Blue detached itself from the longsword and crawled into Chen Mu's forehead.

" Chen Mu, your disguise can only fool these ignorant civilians. If you really encounter an expert in detection, it's probably not very useful."

Mingye knew that Chen Mu didn't want to expose Little Blue's existence, so he had Little Blue possess the longsword and disguise it as a spiritual artifact. However, this disguise was too clumsy, and she could see through it at a glance, so she couldn't help but remind him.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. I just don't want the news of the Holy Spirit to spread too widely and cause unnecessary trouble."

If someone does recognize Little Blue, that's fine too; it might be a good opportunity to interact with these experts.

Chen Mu crossed his arms, his tone relaxed.

"We'd better be careful. Although this plane rejects outsiders, it doesn't suppress native beings."

We encountered a Saint Level expert as soon as we arrived in this plane; it's hard to say whether someone in this world might have reached the God Level.

If God Level truly exist in this world, they could probably wipe us out with a single hand.

Mingye looked at Chen Mu and warned him.

"Really!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu nodded in agreement, but then he raised another point of view.

"However, based on my current analysis, there should be no God Level in this world."

Otherwise, why hasn't a new ruler of this plane been born yet?

As Chen Mu's strength increased, his horizons broadened, and he gained a deeper understanding of high-level cultivators.

Although the difference between Saint Level and God Level is only one major level in words, it is the difference between gods and mortals. If a true native god could be born in the Netherworld, it should be able to easily gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao.

The three Imperial Court of the Netherworld are still fighting each other, which means they have not yet gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao. From this, we can infer that no one in the Netherworld has broken through to the God Level in recent years.

Chen Mu used to think that most of the thousands of planes in the universe should be controlled by God Level beings.

However, after these years of experience, he realized that most planes are actually guarded by Saint Level beings, and only a very few planes are controlled by God Level beings.

The formation of a complete plane is extremely difficult. Therefore, every god who can successfully create a plane is an outstanding being among gods and the creator god of his own plane.

Creator gods generally cherish the planes they create, so before they perish, they try to hide the planes and set rules so that the Heavenly Dao can choose a new ruler to protect the plane.

God Level beings are extremely rare; most planes cannot produce even one in billions of years. Therefore, generally speaking, the vast majority of those who inherit the title of plane lord are only at the Saint Level.

Although Saint Level plane lords cannot defeat gods, as long as they do not leave their planes, they can control their planes to escape, and most gods are helpless against this.

Therefore, most planes in the universe are controlled by Saint Level, and there are not many planes controlled by gods.

"Anyway, being cautious is never a bad thing. Don't forget the Profound Baleful Intent Sect's bounty; there are probably quite a few people in Nine Yama City looking for us right now."

In order to find Chen Mu and his companion, the Profound Baleful Intent Sect actually offered a reward of five Grade 8 Yin Stone, a price that would tempt even Peak Emperor Level experts.

If their identities were exposed in the wilderness, they could still control the situation. But it would be different if they arrived in Nine Yama City. If they really alerted the Profound Baleful Intent Sect, they would probably have to give up on the entire Iron Soul City and start all over again.

"Alright, don't be too pessimistic. Even if Little Blue is exposed, they shouldn't associate us with outsiders."

After all, if we want to develop and become stronger, we can't be timid and hesitant; we can still demonstrate our strength when necessary.

Chen Mu waved his hand and said.

"Well, I'm just reminding you, the decision of what to do is up to you."

Mingye realized he might have been rambling, so he wisely shut his mouth and said no more.

Just then, Chen Mu Mu's Divine Power detected the reappearance of undead in the distance. Without Gao Fenghai to report, he immediately called on Little Blue to take action.

" Little Blue, go!"

call...!

A beam of blue light shot out the window, and Little Blue went out excitedly to enjoy a feast.

It was dusk.

Gao Fenghai led the transport team and arrived outside Nine Yama City with remarkable ease.

Along the way, whenever they encountered undead, Little Blue would take action and swiftly end the battle with lightning speed.

If they encounter high-level demonic beasts, Mingye will take action. Her movements are swift and agile, and she generally prevents the demonic beasts from interfering with the transport team.

Therefore, they traversed more than 200 kilometers of wilderness in just five or six hours and arrived Nine Yama City.
