"Hess, come out!"
I had been holding in my anger for a long time. I initially thought he had pointed me toward a clear path, but little did I know that without Pure Sound, I would have likely disappeared long ago.
The gathered Undead were suddenly frightened and scattered in all directions; they had never seen such a display of strength and knew which ones could be eaten and which ones could not.
"You... you came back?!" The old man Hess trembled, his frail body shaking as he asked in disbelief.
"Me? Why wouldn't I come back?"
"Hmph, as expected, you knew all along that this path leads to nowhere." I stepped forward and looked at Hess.
"I... I had no choice," Hess replied, clearly feeling weak.
"Let's not talk about that now; we have plenty of time to settle our accounts. Where is White Soul? Where is he?"
"Over there, I... I'll take you to him," Hess said.
"Is he still not awake?"
"Yes, not yet," Hess answered honestly. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly added, "But I haven't touched him at all; if you don't believe me, go check!"
"I know you wouldn't dare lie. You will continue to take care of White Soul. If anything happens to him, you will disappear immediately."
"Yes, yes, I understand!" Hess nodded in assurance, letting out a slight breath.
"Not moving is the best thing you have done," I said.
...
"Let's go," I turned to the six people behind me and said.
"Wait— you can't leave here," Hess said.
"Why?!"
"The Undead cannot leave this place."
Undead, right, I am still Undead, how can I leave...
"It's fine, as long as you can come out, that's enough. Little girl, you stay here for now; we will go out and find the Beast Inner Pill," Fu said. Uncle Wu beside him also nodded in agreement.
"Is that okay?"
"No problem, you can stay," Red Demon said as well.
"Alright then, I'll wait for you here."
"Let's set a time. If we don't come back, I will have to trouble you to take care of the Northern King," Uncle Wu said.
"Take this." I removed the ring from my hand, the reward that Third Elder had given me.
"Use this to find someone called Landa, a Supreme Lord. He will help you." Although I knew that the six of them were strong, the underworld was still too unfamiliar to them, and dangers were inevitable.
"Alright, I'll take this for now. Let's set a one-month deadline." Red Demon was quick to snatch it and held it tightly in his hand, not forgetting his signature smile.
"Hess, is it alright to send them out of here?" I asked.
"Yes, of course."
...
Watching the place where the six of them disappeared, I felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy. I really couldn't leave. Touching the invisible seal, was I really going to be completely trapped here?!
"Stop thinking about it; you can't get out unless you can recover 'Sky-Opening,'" Hess said.
I pouted; that was even more impossible.
"However, Hess, now that we have time, we can settle our accounts," I turned and looked at Hess.
"Sigh, let's talk while we walk," Hess replied.
I nodded and followed him.
"At that time, there was no leader here, which means there was no position like mine," he said, glancing at me awkwardly.
"So?"
"I barely made it through Star-Level Cultivation, thinking I had some hope, but in the end, I still couldn't get past Sky-Opening."
"Before I became Undead, I was also a Supreme Lord. My intelligence is naturally different from those Undead. Before it devoured me, I quickly came up with a plan to negotiate with it."
"What did you negotiate?"
"I said, let me go back, and I can regularly bring it Undead."
"So whether you pass Star-Level Cultivation or not is irrelevant; in the end, someone will always be sent here?!"
"That's right. The number of Undead is already vast. Although Sky-Opening doesn't require many Undead, it enjoys them immensely. Very few Undead possess intelligence, and no one would choose to enter Star-Level Cultivation, let alone the Moon Level cultivation layer."
"Actually, I had some understanding of Sky-Opening before and knew its preferences, which is why I dared to take the risk."
"I understand that you don't want to die. However, since you say you were a Supreme Lord before, how could you still die?!"
"Sigh, war. This is also why I was aware that you would die in the mouth of Sky-Opening but hesitated to touch that White Soul."
"What is it?"
"I became cautious when you mentioned Prince Silvermoon. You are not ordinary people."
"Do you know Silvermoon?"
"That's right. I was once part of a group of guards raised by the Demon Royal Family."
"What?! The guards are all Supreme Lords?! That's impossible, it's too terrifying."
"This is a secret; only the royal family would know."
"Silvermoon never mentioned it."
"Of course, because that group has long since rebelled, pledging loyalty to Prince Silvermoon's aunt, Siyimo."
"You... are you one of Siyimo's people?"
A tightness gripped my heart, filled with hatred. Our current situation and everyone's future fate are all because of her!
"I used to be, but now I am just myself, belonging to no one."
