In the domain of the Ten Halls of Yan, the air was thick with the endless undead aura, and the sky remained perpetually gloomy.
In this realm, there was no hint of vitality, only ghost cultivators that seemed like walking corpses, wandering without a trace of life. This place was the core of the Ten Halls of Yan's territory, located near Fengdu City within the realm of the Forest of Yan.
Fengdu City was the second largest city under the Ten Halls of Yan, aside from the capital where the Ten Halls of Yan resided. Unlike the distribution of territory under the Underworld Dark Moon Empress's Eternal Calamity Sea, the Ten Halls of Yan's territory was structured around the nation. The Ten Halls of Yan was the monarch of this realm, commanding countless ghost cultivators.
Their rule was exceedingly tyrannical and assertive. The law that the Ten Halls of Yan controlled allowed them to reverse yin and yang, overseeing the heavenly dao of reincarnation in the Underworld, with many judges and demon kings under their command, maintaining a strict hierarchy.
Fengdu City, second only to the capital under the Ten Halls of Yan, was a sacred ground for countless ghost cultivators.
At this moment, outside Fengdu City, several figures radiating terrifying auras suddenly appeared, gazing intently at the city in the distance, their eyes glimmering coldly.
“Qin Chen kid, your target is actually Fengdu City? I thought you would head for the core of the Forest of Yan, the reincarnation capital of the Ten Halls of Yan!”
The Emperor of the Underworld revealed a look of surprise as he stared at Fengdu City in the distance. The most famous place in the Forest of Yan was indeed the reincarnation capital of the Ten Halls of Yan, while Fengdu City was merely second. With Qin Chen's boldness, attacking the reincarnation capital of the Ten Halls of Yan would be the most effective approach.
Qin Chen glanced at the Emperor of the Underworld and replied coolly, “Underworld, although I am daring, I am not reckless. Even though the main body of the Ten Halls of Yan has left, I am not foolish enough to directly assault their lair.”
The reincarnation capital in the territory of the Ten Halls of Yan was comparable to the Yellow Spring Mountain of the Emperor of the Underworld and the Eternal Calamity Sea of the Underworld Dark Moon Empress. Would there be no defenses in front of it? Qin Chen would never believe that.
With Qin Chen’s current strength, dealing with some emperors was no problem, but if he forcibly invaded the lair of a quasi-emperor, it would truly be risking his life.
“Master, be careful. Although Fengdu City is merely the second largest city in the Forest of Yan, it is still extremely terrifying and definitely not to be underestimated,” the Emperor of Beginning Charm suddenly spoke up. “It is rumored that there is an emperor stationed there.”
Fengdu City was well-known since ancient times, and in her eyes, it was a den of dragons and tigers, far from simple.
“An emperor?” Qin Chen scoffed, “What I want is precisely an emperor.”
Having said that, Qin Chen suddenly turned to the Emperor of the Underworld and asked coldly, “Underworld, what background does Fengdu City have? You should be clear, right?”
While others might not understand the reality of the Ten Halls of Yan, Qin Chen did not believe that the Emperor of the Underworld was unaware.
“Hehe, Qin Chen kid, I do know a bit about Fengdu City's background,” the Emperor of the Underworld chuckled. “Indeed, there is an emperor stationed there, named Yama Great Emperor.”
“Yama Great Emperor?” Qin Chen furrowed his brows, “What is this person's background? What is their combat power?”
“As for combat power, it's average I suppose. Back in the day, he was close to mid-stage great emperor, and now he might have broken through,” the Emperor of the Underworld replied with a dismissive glance.
“Mid-stage great emperor?”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, their expressions turning serious.
