"Ah, I didn’t expect my first flying experience to be used up like this."

"It’s so rude to yank my clothes. Can’t you just hold me while flying?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at the indifferent Hades, his throat moving, but in the end, he didn’t say what was on his mind.

While he was lost in thought, Hades had already flown him to the cave entrance.

The blue barrier at the cave entrance still flickered.

This layer of seal seemed to eternally isolate the Frozen Cave from the outside world.

After positioning himself against the stone wall, Xiao Zheng said to Hades, "Are you ready? If you’re ready, let’s count to three, and then we’ll act together."

Hades didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.

Xiao Zheng then began counting.

When he finished counting to three, a terrifying aura erupted from both of their bodies. Then they punched together, their fists hitting the blue barrier forcefully!

Boom!

The immense force instantly spread in all directions!

It was like an earthquake erupted outside, causing an avalanche, and the snow mountain they were on shook violently!

This terrifying momentum lasted for about half a minute before gradually subsiding.

Xiao Zheng then looked intently at the cave entrance, but a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

The blue barrier still hadn’t disappeared; the seal remained.

"How could this be?"

"Why didn’t our attack have any effect?"

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Just as he was about to think of another way, Hades suddenly spoke, "Our attack was not ineffective. I can sense the weakening of the seal’s power."

"Really? Why didn’t I feel it?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Hades said, "Because I’m from the Blood Clan, and you’re not."

After hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes and then said, "Since you can sense the seal’s weakening, it means this method is feasible."

"Let’s continue."

"I don’t believe that a hundred punches won’t break this seal!"

After saying this, Xiao Zheng snorted coldly.

Hades nodded, and they both started punching again, relentlessly hitting the barrier, causing the mountain to shake violently once more. If the mountain hadn’t been altered by the Blood Clan Ancestor, it would probably have been destroyed by their joint attack.

As it turned out, great force worked wonders!

They didn’t even have to reach a hundred punches; the barrier shattered under their brute force!

"We did it!"

Xiao Zheng said excitedly.

Although Hades didn’t speak, she too breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Without pausing, the two dashed out of the cave entrance.

Returning to the ground, looking at the surrounding snowy landscape and the distant Netherworld King Temple, they both felt like they’d been gone for ages. Especially Hades, who felt the sensation of escaping death more acutely.

They stood on the mountain top for about half a minute before Hades said to Xiao Zheng, "Let’s go."

Before Xiao Zheng could react, she grabbed his clothes and flew towards the Netherworld King Temple. Xiao Zheng was too lazy to complain and let her do as she pleased.

When they returned to the temple, the attendants who had heard of their arrival were so excited that they kneeled on the ground.

Seeing Hades return safe and sound made each of them happy.

"Where are the nine priests? Where are they?"

Hades noticed that many familiar faces were missing and felt a bad premonition.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng sighed and said, "They’re all dead, killed by Morren. After you were defeated that day, they refused to surrender, and eventually, Morren killed them. Their bodies are buried behind the temple."

This was what the attendants had told him earlier.

Xiao Zheng was merely relaying the message.

Knowing that the nine priests who were loyal to her were killed by Morren, an intense murderous aura erupted from Hades. Even Xiao Zheng felt a chill.

This surprised Xiao Zheng, surprised by Hades’ strength and the impact of her murderous aura on him.

The attendants kneeling on the ground were even more terrified and trembled uncontrollably.

Their strength was nowhere near Xiao Zheng’s, and since Xiao Zheng was affected by Hades’ murderous aura, they were even more powerless.

Fortunately, the murderous aura came fiercely and disappeared just as quickly.

Hades quickly retracted her murderous aura, but her expression remained icy. Without saying a word, she walked past everyone towards the cemetery behind the temple.

She didn’t even greet Xiao Zheng.

Watching Hades’ back, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that Hades was genuinely angry this time. Although she seemed cold and unfeeling on the outside, she was truly caring towards her subordinates.

Especially knowing that the nine priests were killed because they refused to surrender, Hades felt even more guilt towards them.

Xiao Zheng didn’t follow her, choosing instead to enter the main hall. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He didn’t want to disturb Hades’ mourning for the nine priests’ spirits. After about ten minutes, Hades returned to the hall.

Xiao Zheng stood up and asked, "How was it? Are you done with the offerings?"

Hades didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.

Xiao Zheng stretched lazily and said, "Since we’re done with the offerings, let’s set off. We’re going to find Morren and kill him."

Upon hearing the words "find Morren," a glimpse of murderous intent flashed in Hades’ eyes once again. Ignoring Xiao Zheng, she turned and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng quickly followed, "Hey, wait for me. If you don’t take me with you, how are you going to find Morren on your own?"

"You know where he is?" Hades asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but boast, "Of course I do. Before he died, Noah told me that Morren is most likely hiding in the Naga Mountain Range."

"On the main peak of the Naga Mountain Range, there’s an Ancestor Cave. There’s also a blood pool in the Ancestor Cave that can help Morren heal. If not a hundred percent, there’s at least a ninety percent chance that Morren is hiding in the Ancestor Cave."

"If that’s the case, let’s set off," Hades said.

Xiao Zheng closed his eyes, and with Hades’ help, began to enjoy the joy of flying once again.
