Despite his enormous size, the city lord moved with surprising speed, arriving before Xiao Chen in the blink of an eye.
"I'll kneel down!"
In Xiao Chen's eyes, the city lord in front of him was a lizard-like monster that stretched out its arm to grab Xiao Chen's neck. It seemed that it did not intend to kill Xiao Chen directly, but wanted to extract some information from Xiao Chen's mouth.
What he didn't expect was that Xiao Chen had already made all the preparations before he appeared.
"Do you really think I would be completely unprepared? Bound!"
With Xiao Chen's command, two beams of light shot out from behind him and struck the city lord directly.
"What!"
By the time the city lord reacted, the beam of light had already bound him, leaving him paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
"I am a member of the Temple of the Underworld, how dare you lay a hand on me?"
The city lord said angrily, trying to struggle but finding that he couldn't break free at all, and could only look at Xiao Chen with a furious expression.
"Oh, the Temple of the Underworld, huh? So what if it's the Temple of the Underworld? Now, get ready."
Xiao Chen approached the city lord with a cold smile. The city lord was unaware of Xiao Chen's intentions, but Xiao Chen directly placed his hand on the city lord's head and began to read the city lord's memories.
Xiao Chen only believed what he saw, not what others said.
As Xiao Chen made his move, the city lord also panicked.
"You are a spiritualist!"
However, Xiao Chen would not explain this to him. After a moment, the city lord's eyes became wise. Under the torment of powerful mental energy, the city lord had become a fool.
"A supreme treasure? What is it? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Xiao Chen became curious. From the city lord's memories, Xiao Chen learned that the reason for going to the Underworld Temple and Earth was because there was some supreme treasure on Earth. However, only Xiao Chen knew that Earth was just a planet that had lost its spiritual energy.
There are probably reasons that Xiao Chen doesn't know about.
Fortunately, we now know the reason why the Pokémon World attacked Earth, so it seems this is a war that had to be fought.
With that in mind, Xiao Chen cleanly and decisively killed the city lord, then took his crystal core and left. The city lord's body was not discovered by his subordinates until three days later, by which time Xiao Chen had already left the city.
However, before leaving, Xiao Chen left them a small gift somewhere in the city.
"The God of the Underworld is nothing more than a Void Refinement stage cultivator. I'll deal with you when I break through to the Void Refinement stage myself."
Standing at the highest point of the city, Xiao Chen looked towards the distant Netherworld God Mountain and murmured, "The city lord once had the honor of seeing the Netherworld God, and that kind of pressure was no different from that of a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage."
The lifespan of a Void Refinement stage expert has reached a terrifying ten thousand years. Even the history of the Dragon Kingdom is nothing in the eyes of such an expert. In the time it takes to go into seclusion, the world outside has already changed drastically.
Meanwhile, in the Temple of the Underworld, the God of the Underworld, who was in seclusion, seemed to sense something and looked up into the distance.
"Strange, why do I sense someone spying on me, yet I can't find them?"
Hades raised an eyebrow and shook his head, but he didn't think much of it. However, since they were awake, Hades waved his hand, and two of his men quickly came to his side.
"Greetings, Lord God of the Underworld!"
"Hmm, how's the matter in the Ancient Lands going?"
The God of the Underworld asked calmly, and one of the demonic beasts quickly replied.
"The ancient lands are no longer as glorious as they once were, and they have now been destroyed. Our subordinates are doing their best to find what you, God of the Underworld, need."
"Yes, the ancient land is extremely terrifying, so don't underestimate it."
"The God of the Underworld said coldly."
"yes!"
As his two subordinates left, the God of the Underworld murmured, "If I could obtain the treasures in the ancient lands, I might be able to take that step. My lifespan is about to run out."
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen had already left the city and was rushing back to the altar. However, when he arrived back at the altar, he encountered two demonic beasts that had come to take over, and he dealt with them without hesitation.
"There are still three days left, so let's wait here."
Xiao Chen shook his head. "We agreed on seven days, so let's wait for seven days."
"Gentle Breeze Slash!"
Qingfeng leaped up and killed an SS-level demonic beast, while Lin Fan was panting heavily. The two had encountered an SS-level demonic beast earlier and wanted to test their limits, so they took action.
Fortunately, the two cooperated well, so they managed to defeat him with great difficulty.
"Lord of the Palace, do you still have the strength to walk?"
After cleaning up the body, Qingfeng looked at Lin Fan, who was recovering.
"One more thing. Let's go, it's almost time. If we don't go back soon, we'll probably have to stay here."
Lin Fan glanced at the time on his watch and spoke.
"Um!"
Qingfeng nodded, but what the two didn't notice was that their actions had attracted the attention of a nearby tribe.
"Humans? Go and bring them back to me! We, the Pokémon World, cannot tolerate the existence of humans!"
Not far from where the two had killed the SS-level monster, there was a medium-sized tribe. After hearing the scout's report, the tribe's chief immediately ordered his people to hunt down Lin Fan and Qingfeng.
At this moment, neither of them knew that a crisis was about to quietly descend upon them.
The two people who were on their way to the altar suddenly sensed something and stopped abruptly.
"Did you feel anything too?"
Lin Fan looked at Qingfeng with a serious expression.
"I sense it! Many powerful auras are approaching us! Run!"
After saying that, Qingfeng immediately unleashed his full speed towards the altar, while Lin Fan cursed under his breath and followed.
If it weren't for the concern for Qingfeng, Lin Fan would probably have disappeared the moment he transformed into lightning.
Even though the two were incredibly fast, they were still caught up. At this point, the two finally saw what was chasing them: a large group of demonic beasts, most of whom were at least SS-level.
"Damn it, are we being targeted? One was one thing, but so many are no match for us. Let's get out of here!"
Lin Fan cursed loudly, while Qingfeng remained silent, only silently doubling his speed.
"Capture them both alive, and the chief will reward you handsomely!"
As a voice rang out from the horde of monsters, the monsters instantly became even more excited.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more."
Looking at the altar in the distance, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel anxious. It was so close, but he didn't know if his boss had returned yet.
