Chapter 851: Chapter 552: Netherworld Palace, Gale Plain (Part 2)

Originally, ever since Gongshu Yu died at the hands of Nangong Yuanwu.

The relationship between the Gongsu Family and the Nangong Family had become quite tense.

However, because Nangong Yuanwu held the lives of two Primordial Spirit Realm members of the Gongsu Family in his hands.

Afraid of harming the hostages, the Gongsu Family temporarily restrained their anger.

They chose to negotiate with the Nangong Family instead of directly starting a war.

However, not long after, the situation changed due to a certain event.

The cause was Gongshu Yu’s mother, that lady of the Gongsu Family’s direct lineage, who couldn’t bear the pain of losing her son.

She spent a huge sum to place a bounty on Nangong Yuanwu’s head in the Netherworld Palace.

The Netherworld Palace is a very mysterious and strange, yet extremely powerful dark organization.

It is said that this organization not only exists in the Heavenly Origin Great World, but also in other great worlds.

It is a widely distributed, terrifying force not limited to any particular great world, or even to a particular Immortal Domain.

The Netherworld Palace never participates in the internal disputes of the great worlds.

They hide in the darkness, only dealing in intelligence trade and assassination.

Such a terrifying force naturally acts with no taboos.

The cost of hiring the Netherworld Palace for assassination is extremely high, but once they act, few can resist their assassination attempts.

Even Primordial Spirit Great Power might not be able to escape.

In fact, as long as you can afford the price, even the Sect Masters of the Top Sects or Clan Leaders of the Thirty-six Upper Clans, or even the various Demon Lords of the Demon Clan, they can assassinate without fail.

However, the cost of assassinating such powerful figures is incredibly shocking.

Even the noble families like the Thirty-six Upper Clans, which control enormous wealth, may not be able to afford such a price.

Though the price for assassinating a Family Head is unaffordable, Gongshu Yu’s mother gritted her teeth and barely managed to afford the price for assassinating a Primordial Spirit Realm at the first calamity stage.

So, after she placed the bounty in the Netherworld Palace, within three days, Nangong Yuanwu was assassinated, barely escaping death.

If it hadn’t been for an old ancestor of the Nangong Family being nearby at that time and intervening.

He might have been annihilated, body and soul, and completely fallen.

Even so, Nangong Yuanwu is now said to have suffered a Primordial Spirit collapse, becoming a cripple.

Once the assassination occurred, the Nangong Family was furious.

Members of their family being targeted for assassination through a bounty in the Netherworld Palace was unacceptable.

If they did not retaliate, others might think the Nangong Family was weak and cowardly.

So after the incident, the Nangong Family immediately took the strongest response.

Not only did they declare war on the Gongsu Family, but they also beheaded the two Primordial Spirit Realm members who had originally followed Gongshu Yu and sent their heads to the Gongsu Family.

As for the Gongsu Family, they were in chaos due to this matter.

Among the Thirty-six Upper Clans, there has always been an unspoken agreement.

No matter how intense competition may be, they must not place a bounty on the important members of each other’s clans in the Netherworld Palace.

Because doing so could easily lead to an irretrievable situation.

So, Gongshu Yu’s mother’s action directly turned their righteous position into an unrighteous one.

Not only did they lose two Primordial Spirit Great Powers, but they also fell into a dire situation in terms of reputation.

Yet, faced with the attack from the Nangong Family, they had no choice but to engage in battle.

Otherwise, it could dishearten the clan members and reduce cohesion, potentially threatening their status among the Thirty-six Upper Clans in the future.

Thus, the clash between the two noble families grew ever more intense.

Finally, the Holy Alliance had no choice but to step in to mediate.

It is said that the heads of both clans and many elder members are currently negotiating and disputing within the Holy Alliance.

The outcome of these negotiations remains unknown for now.

When Lu Qing heard these news while in that city, he was quite surprised.

He did not expect that in the Heavenly Origin Great World, there existed such a terrifying force like the Netherworld Palace hidden in the shadows.

Their strength is formidable, even the Demon Clan and the Righteous cannot do anything against them.

Similarly engaged in assassination, the likes of the Seven Killings Tower and the Wujian Building from his homeland’s world.

Compared to them, are simply like children playing house, completely negligible.

However, this also gave Lu Qing a sense of crisis.

This Netherworld Palace is too terrifying, a force crossing many great worlds, even Immortal Domains.

Their deep foundations are beyond imagination.

It is hard to guarantee that they don’t have any scary secret techniques that can calculate his existence.

So the first thing he did was leave that city.

Afterward, he used the Invisible and Formless Transformation method of his Perfect Golden Core to completely change his appearance, aura, and even his Divine Soul Fluctuation.

Finally, he adopted several identities and traveled far away from the territory of the Nangong Family.

As for Nangong Yuanwu, although he sympathized with his predicament.

He wouldn’t expose his identity just because of temporary camaraderie and show up voluntarily.

After all, he didn’t know if that lunatic from the Gongsu Family had also put a bounty on him alongside Nangong Yuanwu.

If by any chance she did, showing up now would be like offering himself up as prey.

Precisely because of these reasons, Lu Qing disguised himself as an ordinary Loose Cultivator Golden Core and mingled into a merchant caravan, traveling slowly.

The caravan moved steadily and finally reached the end of the valley.

Before they had officially exited, everyone could vaguely hear the violent wind ahead.

It sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, or like demon beasts roaring, sending chills down their spines.

”Is this the Gale Plain?”

Standing at the valley’s exit, looking at the roaring gale and the sand swirling in the sky ahead.

Everyone felt a bit shaken.

Even the Golden Core Realm experts on the carriage showed changes in their expressions.

In the face of such natural might, even with high cultivation, they had to be cautious.

Lu Qing sensed the roaring gale ahead, and was somewhat amazed.

The Heavenly Origin Great World is truly wondrous, just the Celestial Gale blowing above the Gale Plain is incredibly powerful.

Weaker Golden Core Realms, if they were to enter recklessly.

Might not withstand it, their bodies would crack, and they’d bleed into the sky.

No wonder the Golden Core Realm beings on the carriage did not choose to fly, but instead accompanied the caravan.

It turns out that there is such a natural barrier ahead blocking the way.

”Everyone, please be patient. In at most an hour, this gale will weaken, and then we can enter the Gale Plain.”

At the front of the caravan, the armored man held a bagua-shaped Magical Treasure, seemingly calculating something.

After a moment, he shouted to the people behind.

Everyone naturally had no objection to this.

Looking at the terrifying scene ahead, they did not dare to go in now and could only wait patiently.

However, the armored man’s prediction was quite accurate.

After an hour, the gale ahead indeed slowly weakened.

As an hour passed, the swirling sand in the sky gradually settled down.

The plains, where you could barely see ten zhang ahead, began to clear up significantly.

”Alright, everyone can enter now, but remember this gale is only temporarily paused.”

”It won’t take long before it kicks up again.”

”You mustn’t wander off, or once lost, it will be very difficult to rejoin the caravan.”

The armored man loudly advised.

Upon hearing this, those small merchant teams at the back became tense.

They quickly focused all their attention, reminding themselves not to fall behind.

The caravan gradually entered the plain.

Though called a plain, it was more like a desert.

The ground was covered in thick yellow sand, sinking up to the ankles upon stepping.

If not for the faintly visible vegetation around, it would truly resemble a desolate desert.

Luckily, the wagons of the caravan were inscribed with Arrays, and wouldn’t easily sink into the sand.

The caravan, led by the armored man and others, slowly proceeded forward.

As the caravan slowly ventured deeper into the Gale Plain, after two hours, the wind began to gust around.
