Chapter 609 - 97: Rootless Netherworld (10)
"Duke Divine Power’s journey to the Netherworld was indeed orchestrated by the strong ones in my clan," Bai Tianhang reluctantly began, "but the true manipulator behind the scenes was none other than the Regent Lord, Mr. Hui. He instructed me to invite Duke Divine Power into the Netherworld as a messenger, the only way to persuade the other Netherworld families to unite against the Warden and the Great Arbiter."
Bai Tianhang grimaced, "However, once Duke Divine Power entered the Netherworld, Lord Hui assigned new tasks to me and my clansmen. Only Bai Shaoze continued to stay by the Duke’s side."
"And where is Bai Shaoze now?" Nuoshan asked gravely.
Bai Tianhang shook his head, "Since the Netherworld God’s resurrection, he has vanished. According to my investigation, it seems he was taken into the Netherworld Prison by Warden Salong."
Nuoshan offered his speculation, "Could Tuku Lu also have been taken into the Netherworld Prison by Salong?"
"I will investigate thoroughly, but," Bai Tianhang hesitated, "the Netherworld Prison falls under the Warden’s domain. My people can’t even get in, and even if they did break in, they’d never make it out alive."
"Try bribing the prison guards inside," suggested Nuoshan. "I don’t know what would be valuable in the Netherworld, but if you need anything, just speak up. Whatever it takes to extract information about Tuku Lu, just ask and you can have it from me!"
"Thank you, Duke. I will do my best." Bai Tianhang’s meeting with Duke Nuoshan had two purposes: to relay the news of Lu Hong’s disappearance and to bring the news of the Netherworld God’s resurrection.
Under Bai Tianhang’s account, Duke Nuoshan gradually grasped the current situation in the Netherworld.
Due to the Netherworld God’s resurrection, the gods of the Netherworld chose to flee, hiding within the Star Sea or various Star Domains. The Netherworld God alone now rules the entire Netherworld, rigorously training his troops, seemingly aiming to dominate the Star Sea.
Yet, every time the Warden suggested attacking the Sacred Empire, the Netherworld God hesitated, ultimately turning his focus towards the Star Domains.
