The Infernal Realm Kaluosha Continent, Blue Pupil Lake.

Five continents, five teleportation arrays, and the Kaluosha Continent is located on the island in the center of Blue Pupil Lake.

The energy fluctuations dissipated, revealing a large army of several thousand people.

The guards around were seeing this for the first time. Although the teleportation array in the Higher Planes occupies a huge area and can teleport tens of thousands of people at once, this kind of situation would not happen even once in a hundred million years, and the guards of the teleportation array work on a rotating shift system.

As the patriarch, Delisha was naturally responsible for communicating with the guards. "Gentlemen, we are under orders to protect the Rhine Clan's migration. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."

This time they used the same old trick, making a big show of it and pretending to have powerful backers, even though Jason really did have powerful backers.

After saying that, he summoned eight Metallic Airship, put all his people inside, and flew away into the distance.

The core members of the Rhine Clan gathered together.

Delisha said, "According to the map of the Infernal Realm we bought in the Netherworld, we should be on the Kaluosha Continent. We've just arrived in the Infernal Realm, so let's find a relatively safe place to rest and get used to the Infernal Realm environment. In the meantime, we'll hire a few Demon in the nearest city, and then we'll determine our route and set off for the Blood Peak Continent."

Everyone nodded.

After flying for half a year, during which they repelled several bandit groups, they finally found a secluded place and temporarily stopped.

"There are so many bandits in the Infernal Realm," Delisha complained.

"How could there be none? Among the Higher Planes and the Divine Plane, only the Divine Life Realm has fewer bandits." Bessalie has recently returned to her original appearance and gets along well with Delisha.

Delisha looked at the other person. "From what you're saying, you've traveled to various planes before?"

"Of course, although my father wasn't Sovereign's Emissary, he participated in the Planar Wars and paid a price to obtain a Sovereign Token, which allowed him to take me to visit various planes. Unfortunately, the Sovereign Token disappeared after my father's death." Bessalie was initially proud, but then became somewhat dejected.

Seeing that his people were settled, Jason breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bessalie: "Alright, Miss Bessalie, now we should discuss your matter."

Previously, Bessalie had been using Leopold's name and appearance, and Jason hadn't asked her about her past or her plans in detail. Now it was time to discuss the details.

"Find a quiet place?" Bessalie looked around.

Jason, Delisha, Bessalie sat together in a newly dug cave.

Jason knew they also had questions about him, so he decided to speak first, "Okay, I'll go first. Like I said before, I've been chosen by the Sovereign. Besides my qualifications, the reason is that I'm doing something for the Sovereign, but I can't say what it is."

The Sovereign Artifact was given by the Sovereign; the source of the Sovereign’s Might is quite complex, some was given by the Sovereign, and some was obtained by accident; this family migration was originally requested by the Sovereign, because he himself usually lives in the Infernal Realm, as for going to the Indigo Prefecture, it was Lord Beirut's suggestion, because their Beirut Family has just risen and needs allies.

As for my strength, not counting the Sovereign Artifact and the Sovereign’s Might, I'm at the peak of Six-Star Fiend —oh, I should say Demon now. Including the Sovereign Artifact and the Sovereign’s Might, I'd be at the peak of Seven Star Fiend."

"You have a Soul Defense Divine Artifact, right?" Bessalie asked, glancing at Delisha at the same time.

The Seven Star Fiend they fought earlier actually had extremely strong soul attacks, much stronger than physical attacks. Bessalie knew that without Soul Defense Divine Artifact, even a typical Seven Star Fiend would have difficulty resisting that level of attack, but Jason and Delisha were not affected at all.

"Don't you have one too?" Delisha retorted.

"I am the daughter of the Lord of the Palace, Jason is the Sovereign's Emissary, and it is Delisha you who is..." Bessalie looked suspicious.

"I had a miraculous encounter, something I obtained after surviving a near-death experience. To be honest, I also possess the Sovereign’s Might," Delisha said without hiding anything.

Bessalie nodded. "Me too."

Jason didn't hide anything. "My Soul Defense Divine Artifact came from the Necropolis of the Gods."

"The Necropolis of the Gods? I've heard of it. Yes, Lord Beirut is its guardian. You were all from that plane before." Bessalie said forlornly, "My father originally said that after this Planar Wars ended, we would find an opportunity to explore it."

Clearly, news of the Necropolis of the Gods was widely circulated among the powerful beings of the Higher Planes.

Jason changed the subject. "Alright, you probably know about the Rhine Clan. Tell me about yourself, the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl, and your future plans."

"You know my background. Our family, the Lize Clan, has always been small. My father, Huoluo, was the head of the family, and Tiboni, the lord of Skyfall City, was of the same generation as my father. Now my father has died in battle, and most of my family members have been scattered, with the rest in Skyfall City."

For various reasons, I possess a large portion of my family's wealth and have just obtained the crafting method for the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl from Uncle Tiboni. Now, I wish to pledge my allegiance to Lord Beirut.

Jason asked, "I do know Lord Beirut and can introduce you. But why did you choose Lord Beirut? There should be many of your father's acquaintances in the Netherworld, right?"

"If my father's friends were reliable, I wouldn't have had to rack my brains just to get into Skyfall City. Friendships built on self-interest will immediately turn into enemies once power is lost. Rather than gambling on whether those former friends are reliable, it's better to find someone with whom I have no vested interests."

Lord Beirut is powerful enough, and his family is newly established, with no prior conflicts of interest with our Lize Clan. He is an excellent candidate.

Jason and Delisha felt that the other party wasn't lying, and even if they were, it was none of their business. They could simply introduce them to Beirut later; no matter how much scheming she was, what could she possibly do?

Delisha asked, "What are your plans regarding the Lize Clan, and also the Lord of Skyfall City?"

"I had already told Uncle Tiboni about coming to the Infernal Realm, and he agreed with me, promising to gather the tribe and find an opportunity to join me in the Infernal Realm once things are resolved."

Jason said, "There's one more thing. Regarding the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl, are there any potential dangers? For example, could those who covet the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl's refining method track you down?"

"Not for now. I made an agreement with Uncle Tiboni that he would give me another hundred years after I left Skyfall City. As long as I can get the protection of a powerful person during this time, I will be safe."

Jason thought back and realized that they had been cautious enough along the way. Before entering Infernal Realm, Bessalie had used a different identity, and he had never met Bessalie publicly. He even kept it a secret that Bessalie had been to Skyfall City.

In particular, the investigators probably wouldn't have expected Bessalie to come to the Infernal Realm, and even if they did, it would be very difficult to track her down. Infernal Realm has five teleportation arrays and covers an extremely vast area. Unless the Lord of the Hell can teach his subordinates to use the precious Sovereign Token, even the wealth of a Seven Star Fiend wouldn't be enough to withstand such extravagance.

Delisha also felt there shouldn't be any problems, saying, "In that case, we should next focus on how to get to the Blood Peak Continent. Miss Bessalie is connected to our family, so why don't we have her temporarily become an elder of our family? Although there aren't any special privileges, it will be safer for us to travel together."

Bessalie nodded. "I'd love to."
