A moment later, Yinshan and Liu Shi Si led a group of barbarian elephant soldiers to the riverbank of the underground river, but they could not find any trace of Wang Hao and Li Lin.
“They must have left through the underground river. Liu Si, you take men and continue the pursuit. We absolutely cannot let Wang Hao escape like this. I will go back and report to the young master and the patriarch, and tell them the current situation.”
Yinshan gave an order and then returned to the ground through the passage, heading towards the six-story tower in the City of Death.
Upon seeing Yin Yi sitting above, Yin Shan immediately adopted a respectful expression, knelt on the ground, and cautiously reported, "Reporting to the young master, Wang Hao and those inner court students from the Burning Lamp Academy have escaped!"
Yinshan had assumed Yin Yi would be furious and was prepared to be punished.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing his report, Yin Yi appeared unusually calm and said indifferently, "I have been watching the battle you just fought against that student from the Burning Lamp Academy. The opponent's cultivation is very strong, and he has prepared many methods. Even if he escaped, it is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is the black market's intelligence organization for its poor performance."
Standing to the side, the Crimson Moon Ancestor asked, "What does the young master mean?"
Yin Yi laughed and said, "That disciple of the Burning Lamp Academy is very strong. It's not your fault. I just didn't expect that such a powerful expert would be born in such a small Tianxing."
The Red Moon Ancestor flattered, "No matter how powerful Wang Hao is, he is still a far cry from the young master. Even the number one on the Earth Ranking is no match for the young master in three moves, let alone a mere Wang Hao."
Yin Yi snorted coldly and said, "You really don't regard the Earth Ranking experts as human beings. The appearance of a master like Wang Hao in the six major academies is a hidden danger to the black market."
"This child must die, otherwise, once he grows up, he will surely become a scourge to our black market and the remnants of the ancient souls. Where is the Crimson Saint Envoy?"
In the void, wisps of red smoke flew in and condensed in mid-air into the sexy body of a bewitching woman.
The Crimson Saintess flew in mid-air, dressed in red, with wisps of evil mist swirling around her body, making her appear dreamlike and ethereal.
Yin Yi said, "From now on, you will help them and hunt down Wang Hao together. Remember, this man must die."
"Your subordinate obeys," said the Crimson Saint Envoy.
After the Crimson Saint Envoy and Silver Mountain withdrew, Yin Yi's gaze became even more profound. He said, "Purple Star Saint Envoy, pass down the order that the situation has changed. Have all the forces in the black market begin preparations. Tonight, I will go to the underwater dragon palace to find out what's going on."
The Purple Star Envoy said with some concern, "Young Master, the underwater Dragon Palace is too dangerous. It would be better to send people to investigate a few more times and find the exit to the Dragon Palace before you go."
Yin Yi shook his head and said, "We can't wait any longer. I have a feeling that the six major academies and the top financial groups have already received word and will soon send experts over."
"Besides, I'm just going to scout ahead first. It's not certain that I'll force my way in now."
The Purple Star Envoy said, "I understand. Now go and inform all the forces to begin preparations."
The dead section of the River Styx has water that is pitch black and has extremely low transparency.
Moreover, the river water is icy cold, and ordinary wild beasts simply cannot survive in such waters.
However, the beasts that survived were all extremely ferocious creatures.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a huge bubble rose from the once calm river.
A colorful parrot carrying a man in armor emerged from the river. Its eyes darted around, and finding no enemies on the bank, it walked ashore.
The other end of the underground river is the dead section that leads to the River Styx.
Upon reaching the shore and entering the woods, Wang Hao immediately put away the Ice-Fire Qilin Armor, transforming it back into a metal iron ball.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hao swallowed a healing pill and began to circulate his internal energy, focusing all his efforts on neutralizing the power of the Bone-Melting Yin Palm.
About fifteen minutes later, the pale yellow spiritual energy circulated through his body for nine major cycles, almost completely neutralizing the power of the Bone-Melting Yin Palm.
Wang Hao opened his eyes and looked ahead. In front of him was a sharp bird's beak.
Caiyi was staring intently at him. When she saw Wang Hao wake up, she immediately showed joy, opened her beak, and begged Wang Hao for something to eat.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "We haven't reached a safe place yet, and the enemy could catch up at any time. Although I have neutralized the power of the Bone-Melting Yin Palm, my injuries have not healed."
"I can probably only exert about 20 or 30% of my strength. If you take me to a safe place, I will give you lots of delicious food."
The colorful wings made a "squeaking" sound, as if asking where it was safe.
This stumped Wang Hao. Right now, the entire area surrounding the City of Death is teeming with black market forces. Where is a safe place?
"The most dangerous place may be the safest. Let's go to the dead section of the River Styx and enter the water. Perhaps that is our only way to survive."
Wang Hao made up his mind to cut down an ancient tree with a diameter of two meters, hollow out the middle, and make a ten-meter-long dugout canoe.
After placing the dugout canoe in the water, Wang Hao sat cross-legged at the bow and continued to heal his injuries.
The dead section of the River Styx is like a vast lake, many times larger than an ordinary lake. As far as the eye can see, it is like an ocean, boundless and limitless.
Caiyi stood at the stern of the dugout canoe, holding a branch in her claws, and paddled hard, sailing into the depths of the River Styx.
This rather intelligent parrot was really going all out for the delicious food Wang Hao mentioned!
On the map of Tianxing, the water area occupied by the Death River is twice the size of the territory of the Twin Peaks Mountains, covering an area of tens of thousands of square miles.
Within a body of water, a large number of ferocious beasts are born, including even fifth-tier beasts with terrifying power to tear apart martial artists in the Transcendent Realm.
Wang Hao's decision to enter the River of Death was a risky move, since only on the water could he leave no trace and make it easier to evade the black market's pursuit.
Now, all he needs to worry about is not being targeted by a powerful aquatic beast.
After half a day, Wang Hao's injuries had mostly healed, and he was full of strength again.
Not only that, he felt that his cultivation level had improved again, and he was only one step away from the Great Perfection of the Two Realms. He could break through the realm at any time.
Wang Hao glanced at the parrot paddling in the water, smiled, and said, "Caiyi, come here!"
Upon hearing Wang Hao's call, Caiyi immediately placed itself on a tree branch, jumped twice on the canoe, and then lay down under Wang Hao like a lapdog.
Wang Hao patted Caiyi's head, took out a jade box, took out a piece of spiritual meat weighing more than 20 jin (approximately 10 kg), and handed it to it.
Smelling the aroma of the spirit meat, Caiyi's mouth watered. She immediately leaped up, grabbed the spirit meat in one bite, dragged it to the other end of the canoe, and began to eat it heartily.
Wang Hao was surprised. He had thought the parrot was quite intelligent, but he had forgotten about it because he was too busy. It seemed that it had been following Shi Mengqi all this time.
