Chapter 2202: Ways to Walk the Netherworld Road
If the Black River Heavenly Monarch is willing to give him some face, then perhaps he could swallow his pride to plead for Jing Yan. The problem is, it’s unlikely the Black River Heavenly Monarch would grant face to Yuantong Immortal Venerable. In such a situation, sending a message to intercede would only embarrass oneself without saving Jing Yan’s life.
"Clan Chief Xin Si, I too wish to protect Jing Yan, but he is within the Yellow Spring Cave, and my reach does not extend there!" Yuantong Immortal Venerable shook his head helplessly.
If it were outside the Yellow Spring Cave, Yuantong Immortal Venerable wouldn’t hesitate to fight the Black River Heavenly Monarch. However, for matters happening within the Yellow Spring Cave, Yuantong Immortal Venerable cannot enter to seek the Black River Heavenly Monarch.
Clan Chief Xin Si knows what Yuantong Immortal Venerable said is true, and indeed, what Xin Si and even the Xin Family truly care about is not Jing Yan’s life, but the two parts of Netherworld Crystal Stone. If Jing Yan dies within the Yellow Spring Cave, the large Netherworld Crystal Stone vein he obtained will surely be taken by the Black River Heavenly Monarch, leaving the Xin Family with nothing.
"It seems now that little friend Jing Yan can only rely on himself. Hopefully, he has some hidden means that can help him survive at the hands of the Black River Heavenly Monarch." Clan Chief Xin Si can only accept this reality.
Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable is helpless, so the Xin Family has even less recourse. Though he speaks thus, deep down he truly does not believe Jing Yan can save himself in the hands of the Black River Heavenly Monarch.
"Indeed! That kid Jing Yan really shouldn’t have provoked the Black River Heavenly Monarch. The Netherworld Heart within the Netherworld Map is indeed a treasure, but no matter the treasure faced, one’s own safety must be considered first. Jing Yan is still too young!" Yuantong Immortal Venerable shook his head lightly.
Both Gong Zhi Buddha from the Shadow Tower and Li Feng War God from the Ancient Land of Morning Light received news from within the Yellow Spring Cave. Though Ying Tian and Luan Jie from the Ancient Land of Morning Light left the Netherworld Map first, they were aware of the matter soon after Jing Yan rushed in, promptly informing Li Feng War God.
The cultivators from the Shadow Tower and Ancient Land of Morning Light were indifferent; even if Jing Yan dies at the hands of the Black River Heavenly Monarch, it would have no direct impact on them. Thus, these two forces’ cultivators merely discussed the matter briefly before moving on.
