Yang Cheng sensed that the Tianzhao Society members behind him had stopped pursuing, so he also stopped.
The Tianzhao Society came for the Nine Provinces Cauldrons, so it's not like they would relentlessly pursue them.
Therefore, Yang Cheng can now choose to escape. There aren't many Tianzhao Society members outside. Apart from that Mr. Jiu, Yang Cheng has no fear of the other Tianzhao Society members. He can simply fight his way out of the Dragon Cave and return home.
However, Yang Cheng did not want to do that.
He had successively killed Yinglong Yaoji of the Divine Court and faced the siege of Fengbo Feilian. During the fierce battle, he even used his trump cards, all for the sake of seizing the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
As a result, Tianzhao Society intervened, and Yang Cheng could only flee back to the main world in such a sorry state. He couldn't swallow this insult!
Originally, it was a three-way competition, and Yang Cheng was prepared to compete fairly and openly based on their strength.
But now that Tianzhao is interfering, I'll just bring in another force to interfere and muddy the waters.
Anyway, Yang Cheng didn't intend to keep the Nine Provinces Cauldron. He was going to use it to exchange for other things, so giving it to the Heavenly Palace was fine, and giving it to the Underworld was no problem either.
Right now, the only one Yang Cheng can think of to get involved is the Underworld.
Yang Cheng still had the token that the underworld had given him, so he made up his mind to activate the token and contact the people in the underworld.
A wisp of black mist appeared out of thin air, and a moment later revealed the sleepy face of Fang Mingjun, the Night Wanderer.
"It's Yang Cheng! I thought someone was disturbing my sleep."
"Starting to sleep in the middle of the day?"
Fang Mingjun looked speechless: "Big brother, I'm a night owl, of course I'm most awake and energetic at night."
"Wow, when did you reach the Five Elements Realm? How did you get there so fast?"
Fang Mingjun seemed to wake up instantly.
You should know that he had just recently used his accumulated merits to exchange for a secret treasure, thereby stepping into the Five Dou Realm.
As it turned out, Yang Cheng's strength increased dramatically every time he met him, a rise that was rather frightening.
"Not long ago, I came to see you this time because I wanted to make a deal with the underworld."
"Oh? What kind of deal?"
Yang Cheng said with a half-smile, "You might not be able to make that decision yourself."
Fang Mingjun said proudly, "I am a rising star among the younger generation of the Underworld. Is there anything I cannot decide?"
As he spoke, Fang Mingjun pulled out a cup of milk tea from somewhere and took a slurp.
"It can become a supreme treasure of a realm lord, and you can make that decision too?"
"puff!"
Fang Mingjun opened his mouth and spat out a bunch of pearls. He sprang to his feet and said, "Wait, I'll go find someone right now!"
"Go find that Wheel King from last time?"
Fang Mingjun shook his head and said, "Lord Yama has other tasks. There are other officials left in the Underworld today, all of whom are at the level of the Ten Kings of Hell."
After saying that, Fang Mingjun disappeared without a trace.
Since this concerns a treasure that can make one a world lord, even if it were Bai Wuchang (the White Impermanence), he couldn't make the decision. It would really require someone of the level of the Ten Kings of Hell to step in.
Yang Cheng stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It seems that most of the people in the underworld are not actually in the underworld; in fact, only a small number of them remain in the underworld, while the majority are outside.
A moment later, a person wearing a mask of the Ten Kings of Hell appeared in the image of the black mist.
That was the Song Emperor, who was in charge of the Black Rope Hell.
"You are Yang Cheng? King Yama mentioned you to me. You are quite good."
"You said you could offer the most precious treasure, enough to become a realm lord, in this trade. What exactly is it?"
Emperor Song's voice was deep and powerful, giving people a very dignified feeling.
Yang Cheng didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained all the missions in the Nine Provinces world to Emperor Song in the most concise language.
Finally, Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "The Ninth Master of the Tianzhao Society should be around the mid-stage of the Four Symbols Realm. As long as the Underworld takes action to deal with him, the Nine Provinces Cauldron will be within our grasp."
What Yang Cheng said was indeed very tempting.
The Heavenly Palace, the Divine Court, and Mount Ling fought each other, and then the Heavenly Zhao Society suddenly entered the fray. Now, the entire Dragon Cave is basically a mess.
At this time, the Underworld's intervention is like a bird unaware of its prey, making it the most effortless option; eliminating the Tianzhao Society is all that's needed.
Emperor Song pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "I want information about a world. I have seen that world before, but I don't know its location, level, or how to enter it. I need the Underworld to help me find these things."
The Nine Provinces Cauldron is a supreme treasure that can enable one to advance to the level of a realm lord. Its value is naturally extremely precious, and what can be exchanged for it is also a supreme treasure.
But Yang Cheng has one advantage: he is very self-aware and knows his own limitations.
If one were to present the Nine Provinces Cauldrons to the Underworld now, one could naturally exchange them for a treasure of equal value.
The problem is that he has been humiliated and driven out of the Dragon Cave by the Tianzhao Society, and all he can give the Underworld is information about the Nine Cauldrons.
So if he asks for too much at this time, it's just greed.
He gave up an intelligence report, and what he wanted was also an intelligence report.
Emperor Song was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yang Cheng's request to be so simple.
His gaze toward Yang Cheng carried a hint of admiration; no wonder King Yama thought so highly of Yang Cheng.
Know your limits, and know when to advance and when to retreat.
These two points seem simple, but very few people can actually do them.
Yang Cheng's ability to suppress his greed at this time already surpasses that of many others.
