At this moment, Gu Mingyue was hiding near a dark room that the skeleton knight passed through on his way to the dungeon.
Once they see monsters going to provide support, they secretly use golden threads to capture a few. When they see monsters about to go out to report, they work seamlessly with Xinghe to eliminate them without anyone noticing.
They actually managed to prevent news of the dungeon's breach from leaking out.
The Lord of the Black Domain had not heard about this incident until Zhou Yanli and the others escaped from the dungeon.
The Nirvana Merchant Guild members, having just emerged from the dungeon, felt somewhat disappointed upon not seeing Gu Mingyue and her companion. Their eyes darted around as they slowly walked forward.
Suddenly, countless golden threads extended from the dark room behind them and gently patted their shoulders.
The Nirvana Merchant Guild members turned around and were immediately met with several golden threads pointing directly into their eyes at close range, leaving them stunned.
That dark room wasn't really a room at all; it didn't even have a door.
However, when the monsters of the Dark Domain imitated humans to build underground palaces, their brains were not fully developed, and they could not make reasonable use of every space, resulting in many empty spaces for construction.
The monsters all pursued their own desires and didn't bother with those dark rooms. Without oil lamps, they looked pitch black, and when they suddenly attacked like this, it was quite frightening.
Among them were several people who were already starving and hadn't recovered, and who were on edge after a fierce battle. When they saw this bizarre scene, they screamed softly in fright.
"Wait... Ah, no, a new monster! Be on alert!"
The man called out, then, feeling somewhat ashamed, quickly changed his words.
Just as the group from the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce was about to unleash their superpowers, Gu Mingyue pulled Xinghe out.
"It's me, don't hit me. I just wanted to warn you not to go this way. You'll encounter dozens of patrolling skeleton knights on that road," Gu Mingyue said in a low voice.
She was so used to using her supernatural abilities that she felt a kind of phantom limb sensation towards the golden threads, as if they were her own hands and feet. So she used the golden threads to gently tap them as a reminder, but she didn't expect them to react so strongly!
The people from the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce were initially delighted to see Gu Mingyue, but then their faces turned red, and they clung to the ground in shame.
Especially after they discovered that Zhou Yanli had fainted, the fact that their leader had fainted was really damaging to their group's image.
Although Zhou Yanli wasn't intimidated, he was simply overdrawn by his superpowers and delirious from hunger.
After all, he hadn't eaten or drunk anything for more than ten days. Even a healing-type ability user wouldn't be able to withstand such abuse of their body without enough energy.
Gu Mingyue was quite happy to see Zhou Yanli faint. Taking away someone who had fainted was much easier than taking away someone who was awake, talking, and thinking.
If the other members of the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce cooperate well, they might be able to take even more people out.
Yes, Gu Mingyue still had no intention of fighting the Lord of the Black Domain at this moment.
After everyone gathered, Gu Mingyue led the way, with the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce members carrying the unconscious Zhou Yanli behind her.
The underground palace had many hidden chambers. Gu Mingyue had a map and extremely high mental abilities, which allowed her to evade many of the skeleton knights' attacks.
However, when they reached the halfway point, they encountered a problem.
To exit the underground palace, one must pass through the blood pool and the central plaza of the underground palace.
When Gu Mingyue and her three companions sneaked in, there weren't many monsters in the central square yet.
When everyone returned, dozens of skeleton knights had gathered in the central square.
These skeleton knights pressed down the 'food' offered by the monsters on the outskirts of the Dark Realm, tied it up, and then threw it next to a huge incense burner.
The incense burner was three meters tall, with huge incense sticks stuck in it. Next to it were many naked people tied up like pigs, looking as if they were preparing for some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
Monsters kept appearing around, with wooden dining tables and stools set up in the surrounding open space, and monsters wielding huge machetes placing the blades on whetstones, creating streaks of orange-red sparks.
Standing at the very front of the incense burner was the Lord of the Black Domain, who had a pair of bull horns. He had a head of flamboyant red short hair, beautiful reddish-brown eyebrows and eyes, a tall and slender figure, a Western face, and very deep-set features.
At this moment, it was wearing a fiery red robe and staring intently at the reluctant black figure with a tender expression.
It was as if he were looking through his eyes at another person.
Gu Mingyue led the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce members into the blood pool, where they met up with Zhang Yun and his wife. Gu Mingyue then sent out mental waves to continuously probe the activity outside the blood pool.
"There are about eighty skeleton knights in the central square right now, as well as the Lord of the Black Domain who is about to pay homage to Heaven and Earth."
"There are only twenty-three of you in total. Once you leave this blood pool, you'll just be offering your lives to them."
Looking at the people from the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce, Gu Mingyue said bluntly, "I suggest you rush out in a bit. If you really want to escape, it's best to scatter and flee. If you stay together, you will definitely be wiped out."
"Boss Gu, do you mean we should split up and run in different directions after we get out, and whether we can escape depends entirely on our own abilities, so that those who are caught can buy time for those who are not caught to escape?"
One of the Nirvana Merchant Guild members asked what was on his mind.
Gu Mingyue glanced at him and gave him a thumbs up: "You're really smart, that's exactly the point."
Upon hearing this method, the other members of the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce disagreed.
"No, our Nirvana Merchant Guild will not abandon our companions."
"Isn't this too selfish? Mr. Gu, don't you have any other ideas?" someone asked.
“No.” Gu Mingyue spread her hands. “Or, you can continue to stick together and rush out, only to be captured by the Lord of the Black Domain and locked in the dungeon.”
Shi Bowen frowned as he listened: "Since we might all die, we might as well stick together and maybe we can defeat the Lord of the Black Domain!"
