In the main hall of the Netherworld Palace, Mo Xi sat at the top.
The confidants had already been waiting in the hall.
"Meet my king!"
"Get up!" Mo Xi said coldly.
"My king, you are finally back!" The Great Elder said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
"Great Elder, thank you for your hard work over the years!" Mo Xi was also moved and said softly.
"King, I heard from Dharma Protector Mo Chuan that you have returned in such a hurry because of something important?" the Great Elder asked respectfully.
Mo Xi's expression was solemn as he slowly said, "My fiancée, Mu Li, was abducted by a mysterious person. This may be related to the Netherworld Palace. I came back to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise and doubt.
"Your Majesty, few people in the world know that the Nether Palace was founded by you, Your Majesty. They only know that it is powerful and mysterious! Who is so blind as to kidnap the queen?" said a general.
Mo Xi snorted coldly: "There are always some people who are blind and have high aspirations! If anyone dares to touch my woman, I will make him pay the price!"
"King, some time ago, the guardian Mo Chuan came back and said that we should purge the Netherworld Palace of those who have ulterior motives. This is the list I have secretly observed and screened out during this period of time. Please take a look!" The great elder said as he handed a list to Mo Xi.
Mo Xi flipped it open and took a quick look, sneering, "There are quite a few people here! Have they all been dealt with?"
"It's not too late! So many years have passed, and that person's power is deeply entrenched. I'm afraid of alerting him." The elder said with his head down.
"It doesn't matter, it's the same sooner or later! Who knows that Mo Chuan went to deliver a gift this time?" Mo Xi asked.
"The gift was prepared by me personally, and it did not pass through the hands of anyone else! King, is there anything wrong with the gift?" The Great Elder asked in confusion.
"There is no problem with the gift, but the queen disappeared just after receiving it. I suspect that the person who kidnapped the queen must know what the gift is!" Mo Xi said.
"How is this possible? I personally went to the treasury to get the gift, and then handed it directly to the guardian Mo Chuan. How could others know about it?" The Great Elder frowned and said.
"Is there any need to ask? It must be the person guarding the treasury who knows! If there is something extra or missing in the treasury, only that person will know." said a minister.
"Yes, that's definitely the case!" another minister echoed.
"Mo Chuan!" Mo Xi shouted.
Mo Chuan immediately disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Mo Chuan appeared in the hall carrying a young man.
"Is this the person guarding the treasury?" Mo Xi asked suspiciously.
"The treasure house has always been guarded by the Third Elder. How could it be him?" The First Elder didn't know what was going on and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Where is the Third Elder?"
"I am a villager living at the foot of the mountain. A few days ago, the third elder said he had to go on a long journey for something, so he gave me some silver and asked me to help guard outside the treasury for a few days!" The young man crawled on the ground, trembling.
"It seems that it is him! Let's go to his residence!" After Mo Xi finished speaking, he walked out of the hall first, and the great elder followed closely behind.
"Wang, I didn't expect that even the third elder is his man!" exclaimed the eldest elder.
"You are worthy of being my good uncle. You are really good at winning people's hearts!" Mo Xi said coldly.
"It's all my fault for being blind. How come I didn't realize they were in the same group for all these years?" said the Great Elder in frustration.
"Grand Elder, there is no need to blame yourself. Everyone has their own aspirations!" Mo Xi said.
The group arrived at the residence of the third elder, and Mo Xi ordered people to search carefully, hoping to find Mu Li.
Everyone searched through boxes and cabinets, but found nothing. Mo Xi's eyes were cold, and he formed seals with his hands. A faint light hit the ground, and in an instant, many hidden runes appeared in the room.
"There is a restriction here, it seems there is something else going on." Mo Xi whispered.
Mo Chuan stepped forward, injecting spiritual energy to decipher the rune. As the rune dissipated, a dark wall slowly opened, and a faint aura emanated from within. Mo Xi hurried into the dark room and saw a black-robed man trapped within a barrier, unconscious. Mu Li was nowhere to be seen.
"Ali!" Mo Xi was panicked and shouted loudly.
However, no one answered him.
Mo Xi angrily broke the barrier and punched the black-robed man on the ground to wake him up.
"Puff..." A mouthful of blood spurted out again, and the man in black robe slowly opened his eyes.
"Tell me, where is Ali?" Mo Xi grabbed the collar of the man in black robe and roared.
The black-robed man smiled weakly, "Wang, you are finally back! Do you think you can find her? It's too late."
Mo Xi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Third Elder, I advise you to confess obediently. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, I will make you live a life worse than death."
At this time, the Great Elder found a strange jade pendant in the corner of the dark room, with strange runes engraved on it.
"Wang, here is a jade pendant!"
Mo Xi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, a force went down his arm and into his body. He saw some blurry images, among which there was a scene of Mu Li being taken to a dark abyss.
"This... is this the Nine Nether Secret Realm?" the Great Elder exclaimed. "Anyone other than a member of the Nine Nether Clan is forbidden from entering the Nine Nether Secret Realm. Otherwise, their souls will be shattered and reduced to ashes!"
Mo Xi suppressed his anger and sent the Third Elder flying with a palm, "Take him to the dungeon!"
The Third Elder was startled at first, then burst into laughter. "You'll never be able to save her. That place is an endless purgatory."
Mo Xi stopped talking nonsense and appeared at the entrance of the secret realm the next second.
The Great Elder worriedly advised, "King, you haven't yet made it through the Endless Purgatory in this lifetime. The journey to receive the inheritance is fraught with danger. You must take care of yourself!"
Mo Xi's eyes were firm. "Even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will find Ali back." After that, he flashed into the secret realm!
