Chapter 4100 Endless Gale

In the instant I turned around, I glanced back and saw that all the men the princes had brought were swarming towards us, trying to intercept us before we entered the Netherworld.

At the same time, I also saw the prince. He was smiling at us and nodding slightly.

This parting may be for life; we probably won't come back to this hellish place, Fire Domain, again.

If I were to appear here again, I would be like a rat in the street, hunted down wherever I go.

Without a second thought, our entire group plunged into the red mist ahead at an extraordinary speed.

I think I ran forward for a few dozen meters before the red mist disappeared, and then a wave of heat hit me, making my mouth dry. Looking behind me, the red mist was still rolling around.

This crimson mist should be the dividing line between the Fire Domain and the Netherworld.

We all ran to the Netherworld, but the experts the prince brought did not chase after us.

Everyone in the Fire Domain knows that once you enter the Netherworld, you can never come out alive.

At this moment, the disheveled Taoist priest turned around and glanced at the place where the red mist was rolling, and suddenly said to me, "Old Wu, do you think the prince will be killed by the king of Guanxiong Kingdom after he goes back since he just let us go like this?"

"I don't think so, he's the king's uncle." I quickly said.

"The most ruthless are those in the imperial family; they are the most vicious. They can kill even one's own son, let alone one's own uncle!" At this point, the slovenly Taoist sighed, "Anyway, we're already in here. Whether the prince lives or dies is beyond our control."

Hearing what I and the slovenly Taoist priest said, Brother Gu and Master Zhiqing all gathered around.

"Xiao Luo, what were you two talking about? Did the prince release us?" Brother Gu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, do you think we could have taken the prince hostage under the watchful eyes of the two Dukes on either side? It was only after the prince dismissed those two Dukes that we were allowed to take him hostage. If the prince hadn't agreed, neither Lao Luo nor I would have been a match for him. Besides, we were bound by black iron chains at that time." I explained to everyone.

"Sigh, it turns out the prince is a kind person. I should have known better than to kick him like that." The chubby boy regretted it a little.

"What exactly did you two do to the prince that made him take such a big risk to release all of us?" Zhang Qing'an also came over and asked.

"Actually, we didn't do anything. It's just that old Roth is good at bluffing. He often brings out some worthless things to please the prince and the empress dowager. The prince is also very good to us. He doesn't want us to die like this..." I still feel a lot of guilt towards the prince.

I was initially a little worried about the three businessmen who introduced us to the prince, especially the bearded man, who was the one who took us to meet the prince.

I was thinking that since we had done so many things to harm the prince, those three businessmen from Guanxiong Kingdom might be retaliated against by the prince. But now it seems that the prince, being such a kind-hearted person, would definitely not make things difficult for those three businessmen.

"I was wondering why you didn't activate the Nine Clouds Disc when you were holding the Prince hostage, but instead came to this Netherworld. It turns out the Prince released us. In that case, it was indeed the right thing to do. We couldn't risk the Prince's life," said Master Zhiqing.

At this moment, the slovenly Taoist priest looked at the place where the red mist was rolling, one hand touching his chin, who knows what wicked idea he was thinking of again.

"Old Luo, what are you thinking about?"

“I was thinking, after the people guarding outside leave, could we go back the way we came, to that place where the Qi field is unstable, and use the Nine Cloud Disc to return to our world? Wu Laoliu, do you think it’s feasible?” The slovenly Taoist priest looked at me.

“If it were that simple, the people of the Fire Domain wouldn’t be so wary of the Netherworld. True Master Wuwei also said that once you enter the Netherworld, you can only leave through the Yin-Yang Realm. If we turn back again, we might be swallowed up by this red mist,” I said quickly.

"How will you know if you don't try? What if it works?" The slovenly Taoist priest seemed determined to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Look at the weird place we've ended up in!" Chi Lang called out.

At this moment, everyone turned around and looked behind them. They saw a dark and lifeless scene ahead, with some red lights flashing on the ground. The red light closest to us, upon closer inspection, seemed to be rolling lava, still slowly flowing.

This is the so-called Netherworld, a place that inspires awe at just one glance.

Honestly, I really don't have the courage to go any further.

Why not try the slovenly Taoist's method? Maybe we can return to the Fire Domain.

The slovenly Taoist priest was already busy, taking out two very long ropes from his Qiankun Eight Treasures Pouch and handing them to Little Fatty and Chilang behind him.

"In a little while, Lao Luo and I will go scout ahead and see if we can turn back on the spot. If we sense something is wrong, we'll pull on the rope, and you guys quickly pull us back," the disheveled Taoist priest said solemnly.

"Alright, you all need to be careful, this is no joke," Master Zhiqing said hurriedly.

“I can’t let you guys take risks every time. Otherwise, I’ll go find the way,” Li Chao stepped forward.

"Brother Chao, let us do it. Lao Luo and I are partners, we work together well, and we can help each other in critical moments. It's too dangerous for you to go alone." As I spoke, I had already wrapped the rope around myself.

The disheveled Taoist priest over there was also ready.

Little Fatty and Chilang grabbed me, and the slovenly Taoist priest was also ready.

Just then, Yuan Kong suddenly asked, "Have you seen Kassan? Where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, we were all taken aback. Yes, where did Kassan go? We were so focused on running away that we completely forgot about him.

"I'm here..." Just then, a figure emerged from the swirling red mist; it was Kassan.

We were all overjoyed to see Kassan return.

"Kasan, where did you go before?" Brother Gu walked over.

“I’ve been following you all along, trying to find a chance to rescue you. I didn’t expect the prince to release you… By the way, Brother Wu, Brother Luo, don’t go and test it anymore. I’ve already tried, and there’s no way to get out. This red mist can only be entered, not exited. If you go back, it will turn into endless gales that can tear people apart. I had to escape into the void to get back.”
