Chapter 0316: They Must All Be Eliminated

After bringing the Six-Winged Flying Ape to the Group of Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long rode on the Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin and wandered around. After learning about the terrifying nature of the million mutated primal beasts, whenever he encountered those reckless primal beasts that attacked him, Huang Long simply deployed the million mutated primal beasts within the Group of Immortals Pavilion.

A mid-tier divine peak red python lunged at him. With a thought, Huang Long ordered the million mutated primal beasts in the Group of Immortals Pavilion to launch a soul attack simultaneously. An indescribable color radiated from his forehead, striking the red python head-on. The red python, like a speck of dust facing a torrential rain, was sent flying backward and instantly fell silent.

“Master, that red python is dead!” Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin said in amazement as it brought Huang Long to the side of the dead python.

A mid-tier divine peak red python, killed in just one strike!

Huang Long nodded and smiled. A green glow flashed from his forehead as he summoned the Netherworld Divine Tree, which instantly devoured the primal beast crystal and stored its body in the Five Pits Divine Cauldron. Then he continued on his way. Naturally, under the soul attacks of the million mutated primal beasts, those mid-tier divine primal beasts fell one after another.

However, the million mutated primal beasts were somewhat overkill against these mid-tier divine primal beasts.

What disappointed Huang Long a bit was that although they encountered some mid-tier divine mutated primal beasts along the way, they didn’t see a single high-tier divine mutated primal beast.

Half a month later…

“Let’s go back,” Huang Long said, patting Wind-Flame Dragon Qilin listlessly as they began to head back toward the edge of the Ancient Forest.

It had been quite some time since they left.

…

After leaving the domain of the Six-Winged Flying Ape, Lemmy and his four companions pursued them relentlessly. But the longer they went, the more furrowed their brows became, because they hadn’t encountered a single primal beast along the way?!

“What’s going on? It’s already ten days—not a single trace of a primal beast in sight?!” Blanche, the purple-haired woman from the Xil family, asked in confusion.

This was extremely unusual!

This was the Ancient Forest, not the Six Continents.

“Hehe, maybe these primal beasts sensed our presence and hid far away!” the fifth-level Old King of the Netherworld said half-jokingly, though he couldn’t hide the seriousness in his eyes.

“Lord Lemmy, do you think it might have something to do with those from the Runing family again?!” Golden-haired Sid asked respectfully.

Lemmy nodded thoughtfully. “It’s possible. But it’s strange. If they killed all these primal beasts along the way, their speed should be affected.”

By now, Lemmy and his four companions were convinced that their opponents numbered at least three.

Everyone fell silent. If that was the case, the opponent was quite terrifying. For ten consecutive days, even though their speed had been hindered, they still couldn’t catch up to them. This meant it must not have taken much time for them to eliminate those primal beasts, and their speed was at least much faster than theirs.

This was the territory of the Mid-Level Divine Primal Beasts. Even a Level 6 King of the Underworld couldn’t achieve such things, right?

The longer it went on, the more complicated the five of them felt.

Half a month later, Lemmi stopped.

“Lord Lemmi, what’s wrong?” asked the Level 5 old man of the King of the Underworld cautiously.

“Let’s go back,” Lemmi said in a gloomy tone before turning and flying back.

The other four exchanged glances, but seeing Lemmi’s expression, none dared speak. However, going back like this meant the mission had failed—the Upper-Divine Mutated Primal Beast, the Six-Winged Ape, was lost!

A few years later, Lemmi returned to the King of the Underworld Palace in Silver Emperor City.

Regino looked at Lemmi and frowned. “Was the Six-Winged Ape taken by someone from the Runing family first?”

“Yes, Lord Regino!” Lemmi lowered his head. “Based on the situation surrounding the fierce battle at that time, I suspect it was likely done by someone from the Runing family.” He then described the details of what had happened.

Regino pondered for a while before saying, “Since it was the Runing family, let’s just drop it!”

“But what about the employer?” Lemmi asked.

“The employer doesn’t mind. There’s still time within a thousand years; it’s not urgent,” Regino replied.

In the King of the Underworld Palace, as long as one could afford a Divine Stone, they could assign tasks to the palace to handle.

“Yes, Lord Regino,” Lemmi could only nod.

“As for that Yellow Dragon… well, so many years have passed and still no news. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have let him leave Silver Emperor City. I should have tried harder to keep him,” Regino said with regret.

Lemmi nodded as well. “But that kid from the Lance Tribe, Sidde, is also desperately trying to find out where the Yellow Dragon is.”

“The Lance Tribe?” Regino nodded. “Now the entire Underworld is searching for the Yellow Dragon. I heard even Lord Marshall has been looking for it for eight hundred years. It’s normal for the Lance Tribe to do the same.”

“However, it seems that Sidde is secretly investigating the Yellow Dragon’s whereabouts, while people like Simpson from the Lance Tribe aren’t aware of it,” Lemmi said hesitantly.

“Not aware? What’s going on?” Regino frowned, sensing something was off.

“I also found it strange. Later, I learned that Huang Long had once stayed at the Dark Moon Tribe in the Ziling Mountains, but for some reason, he left after a few days and came to Silver Emperor City,” Lemmy said.
“You mean this Xide knew Huang Long before? And the reason Huang Long left might be related to him?” Regino’s eyes sparkled.
“Yes, Lord Regino!” Lemmy replied.
“Pay attention to this. Huang Long only has the strength of a mid-tier god. He’s not yet a match for Xide. The Grand Master said we must do everything possible to win over Huang Long!” After a while, Regino’s deep voice slowly spoke up.
……
The Frost Sea, covering tens of millions of square miles, is shrouded in white frost all year round. It is one of the inland seas on theCanghai Sea Continent and the largest such sea. Islands are scattered throughout it, and the Sil family of the Netherworld resides within the Frost Sea.
Blanche, a woman with purple hair from the Sil family, returned from the Ancient Forest. After bidding farewell to Lemmy and the others, she went back to the Frost Sea. Thinking that her journey had taken over a decade with no results, she felt frustrated.
One day, as Blanche sat in her courtyard feeling upset, a lower-tier goddess slave entered and bowed, saying, “Miss.”
“What is it?!” Blanche frowned. Hadn’t she ordered that no one disturb her?
The lower-tier goddess slave trembled and said, “It’s Miss Eithel from the Runing family. That’s why I…”
“Oh, it’s Sister Eithel!” Blanche’s eyes lit up. She stood up quickly and left the courtyard to go outside.
Eithel, also a fourth-level powerhouse of the Nether King, was someone Blanche had met during a mission for the Nether King. They got along well, helped each other through life and death during the mission, and later became good sisters.
Before long, when Blanche stepped outside the courtyard, she saw a beautiful woman in light green clothes approaching.
“Sister Eithel!” Blanche exclaimed happily.
“Sister Blanche,” the beautiful woman in light green smiled as she stepped forward.
“Sister Eithel, how did you find time to come to theCanghai Sea Continent?” Though happy, Blanche still asked out of curiosity. The Runing family’s headquarters was on the Nia Continent, and it took at least over a decade to get here. Usually, they rarely came to theCanghai Sea Continent.
“You guessed right. I really have business here this time,” Eithel said with a smile as they walked and chatted.
“Oh, I wonder what business it is, Sister Eithel?” Blanche asked, puzzled.
“Do you know the Giant Dragon Mountains?” Eithel asked in return.

“The Dragon Mountain Range? Are you referring to that one located within our Saint Wen Mansion, in the remote areas near the edge of the Ancient Forest?” Blanche was somewhat surprised. Could her sister’s visit be related to the Dragon Mountain Range?
“That’s right,” Ether nodded.
Blanche looked puzzled.
The two arrived at Blanche’s courtyard. Ether created a soundproof barrier. Seeing her sister’s serious demeanor, Blanche became even more curious—what could it be?
“Sister, a few days ago, I accidentally discovered a secret related to the Dragon Mountain Range,” Ether said solemnly.
“A secret!” Blanche was surprised.
“Yes. There’s always been a rumor in the Netherworld that the Dragon Mountain Range was formed from the petrified body of an ancient dragon god from ancient times. In fact, this rumor is true, and that ancient dragon god was one of our Luning family’s ancestors!” Ether explained.
“Is that rumor true?!” Blanche asked.
“Yes. And a few days ago, I accidentally found that deep within the Dragon Mountain Range, in an alternate space, there’s a dragon blood crystal left by one of our Luning family ancestors,” Ether said slowly.
“A dragon blood crystal?!” Blanche’s eyes widened.
A dragon blood crystal was the essence condensed during a dragon’s cultivation. Although not as precious as a dragon soul, it was second only to it.
“That’s right. It’s a dragon blood crystal left by our ancestors. As you know, dragon blood crystals are extremely important to us dragons. If I can find this crystal and merge it with my own power, I’ll surely be able to make another breakthrough within tens of thousands of years, reaching Level 5 of the Nether King, or even reaching Levels 6 and 7 within millions of years!” Ether said.
Although dragon blood crystals were rare, they were only useful for those with dragon blood. So Ether wasn’t worried that Blanche might have ulterior motives. Given their relationship, she believed her sister would help her.
“That alternate space is deep within the Dragon Mountain Range. Since you practice earth-based laws, I’ll need your help then,” Ether said. She had no choice but to ask Blanche for help—she didn’t want to alert anyone in the family. If they found out, it was easy to imagine what would happen to that dragon blood crystal.
“It’s simple. Don’t worry, sister. I’ll definitely help you!” Sure enough, Blanche stood up, her tone resolute.
Ether’s face lit up, but then she hesitated for a moment. “But there are some bandit forces lurking in the Dragon Mountain Range. Could that cause trouble?”

Blanche smiled nonchalantly and said, “No, sister, don’t worry. They’re just some look-good but useless bandits, a bunch of scoundrels. When we reveal our identity as Level 4 Pluto warriors, they’ll be terrified. And as far as I know, that place is ruled by a high god named Hebrael, whose strength is average—there’s only him as a high god. But to prevent information from leaking, we’ll have to silence them all afterward!”
Aiselle nodded.
Silencing them was indeed necessary.
