At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had quietly arrived outside Fengdu City.
Outside Fengdu City, countless ghost cultivators were lining up slowly to enter, forming long lines like dragons.
Moreover, an ancient formation stood tall outside the entire city, covering Fengdu City. As the second largest city in the Domain of the Forest of Yan, where the Bridge of Helplessness is located, countless ghost cultivators came here daily to accept the tests and baptism of the Bridge of Helplessness. Once they passed, they could become ghost generals under the Ten Halls Yan Emperor. What an honor that was!
In the past, many ghost cultivators in the Underworld might not have necessarily wanted to join the ranks of the four extreme emperors. However, recently the Underworld had been extremely chaotic, and many ghost cultivators sensed the risks of unrest. Thus, they all sought a strong backing.
Some loose cultivators also wanted to find a force backed by an emperor to rely on.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many people wanting to present their ghost cultivators to the Dark Moon Nether Maiden previously; they merely wanted to secure some support during these chaotic times.
The two remaining four extreme emperors had thus become the best choices for all ghost cultivators to ally with.
Outside Fengdu City, the Ghost Mountain and Ghost Sea were bustling with ghost cultivators attempting to join the Domain of the Forest of Yan.
"Hmph, when did it get so lively under the Ten Halls Yan Emperor?"
Seeing so many ghost cultivators lining up to come here, the Emperor of the Underworld snorted coldly, his expression extremely unpleasant. There was a time when countless powerful followers had been beneath him.
"Stop the nonsense."
Qin Chen raised his head to look at the formation outside Fengdu City, his brows slightly furrowed.
This was the first obstacle he faced against Yama, and to deal with Yama, he must first enter Fengdu City. To enter, he needed to pass the authentication at the city gate, otherwise, he would be attacked by the guarding formation of Fengdu City.
Although this formation outside Fengdu City was powerful, Qin Chen felt no fear. However, if he forcibly broke through, it would surely alert Yama, causing his plan to encounter inevitable troubles.
"Mo Li, it’s up to you."
Qin Chen turned to Mo Li and said coldly.
"Damn it, why is it always me?"
Mo Li cursed angrily in his heart but remained silent on the surface. He then spoke to Qin Chen and the others, "Alright, you all conceal your aura and follow me."
After speaking, Mo Li emanated a cold aura and quickly approached the gates of Fengdu City with everyone.
"Who goes there? How dare you fly here? This is Fengdu City, and you don't stop? Looking for death?"
Seeing Mo Li and the others arrogantly flying over the heads of all the ghost cultivators and directly arriving at the gate, the ghost cultivators guarding the gates immediately shouted angrily.
Boom! Terrifying auras surged forth, enveloping Mo Li and his companions.
Swish!
Leading them was a ghost cultivator exuding quasi-emperor aura, his gaze cold and murderous as he looked at Mo Li and the others. Upon sensing the auras of Mo Li and Qin Chen behind him, he was taken aback.
With his quasi-emperor level, he vaguely felt that this group of people was not easy to deal with.
"Hmph, so audacious, even this emperor does not recognize you? Hurry and open the gates, this emperor has urgent matters to discuss with your Lord Yama."
Mo Li frowned and coldly snorted, and a faint emperor's aura quietly burst forth from him but was well controlled within a very small range, so as not to alert Yama inside Fengdu City.
"This emperor? Lord Yama?" The leading demon king was startled. As one of the top ghost cultivators in the Domain of the Forest of Yan, he naturally knew that the ruler of Fengdu City was Yama. After all, ordinary ghost cultivators might not even know that there was an emperor in Fengdu City.
"May I ask which Lord Senior is looking for Lord Yama, and for what matter? This subordinate will notify Lord Yama immediately…" The demon king was still speaking when Qin Chen suddenly shouted harshly, "How dare you! How do you speak to our lord? Our lord is a confidant of the Ten Halls Lords. We come to Fengdu City on the secret orders of the Ten Halls Yan Emperor for urgent business, and you dare to obstruct us? Hurry and open the gates to let us in. If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?"
