Chapter 4099 Crimson Mist

Although Brother Gu and the others were a little confused, they quickly picked up their magical artifacts from the ground and gathered around us.

When Little Fatty walked up to the kidnapped prince, he kicked him in the butt: "You were the most cocky one just now. We were fighting and you were just drinking tea. Are you still arrogant now?"

Little Fatty had no idea about what happened between us and the Prince. The Prince was really at a disadvantage with that kick.

"Little Fatty, get lost and stay put." The slovenly Taoist priest glared at Little Fatty.

Little Fatty was still a bit unconvinced: "So what? He brought people to arrest us, and kicking him was the least I could do."

However, Little Fatty's kick was quite good, which proved to these experts from the Pierced Chest Kingdom that the prince was not on our side.

All the brothers were present. We, a group of people, took the prince hostage and walked forward. Those people, fearing that we would harm the prince, all made way for us.

If they continued like this, they didn't know when they would reach that place with unstable Qi. By this time, it was already getting dark.

I struck the Heavenly Seal, releasing the divine beasts Gongfu and Ziba, while the slovenly Taoist priest released his tiger-dragon.

"Everyone, sit on these mythical beasts! Everyone, get out of here quickly!" I called out.

As I spoke, the slovenly Taoist priest and I, holding the prince hostage, leaped onto the body of the divine beast, the centipede.

The slovenly Taoist's tiger-dragon was enormous, and most people sat on its back, except for Master Zhiqing and Li Chao, who sat on Ziba.

So I shouted, and the mythical beasts immediately took off running, heading west at top speed.

As soon as we ran, the experts brought by the princes all climbed onto the big bird and flew in the air, chasing after us relentlessly.

This is our only chance to leave the Fire Domain. If we miss it, we will die here.

I know that this group will relentlessly pursue us, and even if we release the prince, they will not let us go.

There's no better solution right now; we can only take it one step at a time.

We rode on three divine beasts, galloping all the way, while the large birds overhead kept crying out, clinging to us tightly.

At this moment, the slovenly Taoist priest suddenly said to me, "Old Wu, with the enemy chasing us like this, we definitely won't have time to activate the Nine Cloud Disc to leave here. We also can't bring the prince to our world. I've heard that as long as you bring people from other realms back to our space, they will age and die quickly. We must release the prince before leaving here."

“If we release the prince, those people will definitely attack us. Activating the Nine Clouds Disc takes time, and there simply won’t be enough time,” I said, somewhat frustrated.

The disheveled Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "There's really no other way; we can only venture into the Netherworld."

Upon hearing the disheveled Taoist priest's words, the prince was greatly surprised: "The Netherworld is absolutely forbidden. Once you go in, there is no way you can come out. I advise you to think carefully."

We know that the Netherworld is a dangerous place, but now we are in a dilemma with the prince in tow.

With the prince present, we cannot activate the Nine Cloud Compass. If we release the prince, the enemy will swarm us, and we will have no chance of escaping. Our only hope is to venture into the Netherworld and try our luck; perhaps we can leave that place.

It seems that Master Wuwei once said that leaving the Netherworld is not entirely impossible, but we must find the entrance to the Yin-Yang Realm. We have no way out now, so we can only try our best. Maybe we'll get lucky and find the Yin-Yang Realm.

After a brief discussion with the slovenly Taoist priest, we decided to give it a try.

As for the opinions of others, we don't need to ask them. Once it's something the two of us decide, they never object.

And so we traveled quickly and soon arrived at that place where the space was extremely unstable.

The Pure Immortal was the first to sense something was wrong and immediately shouted towards us, "We've arrived! If we go any further, we'll be in the Netherworld. Why aren't we stopping?"

“Master Zhiqing, we can’t stop, we can’t get out of here…” I shouted.

In Master Zhiqing's opinion, the prince was just a hostage they had captured; if he died, so be it, and there was no need to care whether he lived or died.

But the prince has been kind to us, so we can't possibly betray him again. Besides, betraying him again would be the death of us.

Even if we were the sixth oldest, we couldn't bear the pangs of conscience.

After passing through this extremely unstable Qi field, the Qi field ahead became even more unstable. First, a gust of wind blew by, like a steel knife scraping our bones. The divine beast beneath us seemed unable to withstand it and let out a roar.

After running for a while, a blinding red cloud suddenly appeared ahead, or more precisely, a swirling red mist.

My intuition tells me that there must be great danger ahead.

I looked up and saw that the group of experts brought by the prince were still following us.

The swirling red mist merged with the sky in front of it, like boiling blood.

At this moment, the red mist is still more than ten meters away from us.

When we arrived, I patted the head of the mythical beast, the centipede, to make it stop. The slovenly Taoist's tiger-dragon and the demon also stopped beside us.

A moment later, the large birds swooped down, and the two dukes alighted, carrying their magic swords as they approached us.

"Are you really going to the Netherworld?" the prince asked in a low voice, somewhat worried.

"Your Highness, we have no way out. We will always remember your great kindness, which we can never repay in this lifetime. We hope we can meet again." The slovenly Taoist pushed the prince forward, still holding his magic sword against their necks.

"What are you doing? The Netherworld is just behind us. If we go in, we might not be able to get out," Master Zhiqing said anxiously.

“Master Zhiqing, I’ll explain to you later. We can only go to the Netherworld.” I looked at him.

Seeing how resolute I was, Master Zhiqing said nothing more.

"Release the prince! If even a single hair on his head is harmed, I guarantee you will be reduced to ashes!" the Duke of Zuo roared.

"Get back, all of you!" I yelled.

The group of people brought by the prince were already quite close to us, but after I called out, they all retreated a distance away.

"Your Highness, we'll meet again!" I whispered in the prince's ear, then slapped him hard on the back, sending him flying far away.

Immediately afterwards, I shouted, "Go! Go now!"

We turned around and headed straight for the crimson mist.

This journey will be uncertain, with fate hanging in the balance.
