Chapter 1286: Strange Array
"Fellow Daoist Gui Wu, this swamp appears to be quite calm at the moment, but I presume that it's not a safe place, either, am I right?" Han Li asked.
"There are no truly safe places in the underworld, but compared to other places, this swamp is relatively innocuous. A blanket of miasma constantly hangs over this swamp, and over the years, it has condensed into these five-colored poison clouds in the sky. However, you should be fine as long as you don't fly too high and directly enter the poison clouds," Gui Wu replied.
"I see. Where is the Yama Manor?" Han Li asked.
"It's not far away, we should be there soon," Gui Wu replied.
"You've already said that five or six times. Is the Yama Manor in this swamp or not?" Weeping Soul asked with slightly furrowed brows.
"This place looks far too barren for there to be any buildings here. Are you lying to us?" Jin Tong asked with a skeptical expression.
"I wouldn't dare to lie to you! The Yama Manor is on an island in the middle of the swamp, but it's surrounded by a strange array, and no one has ever been able to enter the manor. As for what's so strange about the array, you'll understand once you see it," Gui Wu hurriedly replied.
"In that case, please lead the way there, Fellow Daoist Gui Wu," Han Li said.
"There's a forest roughly a hundred and fifty thousand kilometers west of this peninsula. The trees in the forest are rather... special. Let's go there first," Gui Wu said.
Han Li's trio immediately set off in a westward direction, making sure to fly at an altitude of less than a thousand feet.
Shortly thereafter, a withered, black tree that was several thousand feet in height appeared on the distant horizon.
