Hearing this, I hurriedly asked, "Why do you think they captured you?"
"At first, when they broke into my home and attacked me and Hu Fang, I thought they were after the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram. But to my surprise, they didn’t even ask about the Divine Anomalies Classic. Instead, they knocked both me and Hu Fang unconscious and brought us here."
"When I woke up, I found myself in this place, witnessing them kill many people and dismember their bodies, discarding them in the room while only taking their Hearts. It seemed like they were preparing for some kind of ritual." At this point, the Death Apostle glanced thoughtfully at the enormous Red Magic Circle nearby and whispered, "I think that must be it."
"After that, I overheard them discussing the ritual again. I learned that ever since Yang Master discovered Hu Fang's unique constitution, he had been planning this ritual, intending to use Hu Fang's body as a vessel to bring some terrifying entity from hell into the human world. And I seemed to be just a sacrifice for this ritual. If you had arrived any later, I would have been the next one to die..."
With that, the Death Apostle sighed deeply, still shaken by the experience. After his sigh, he appeared somewhat more relaxed. However, Hu Fang was covered in blood and dirt from earlier and had just finished crying; her face looked worse than a ghost's. I couldn't discern her emotions at that moment. But after hearing the Death Apostle's words, I recalled my conversation with Gu Kai and the person who claimed to be the Void God at the door.
I muttered to myself, "Could their goal really be to use Hu Fang as a vessel to bring the King of Hell into our world?"
"What? The King of Hell?!" The Death Apostle exclaimed, his previously relaxed demeanor suddenly tense again.
"What's wrong? Do you know about the King of Hell?" I pressed.
"Of course! How could I not know... In ancient mythology, isn't the King of Hell the ruler of the Underworld?" he replied.
I interrupted him, "I already know that! If it were just that simple, why would I even ask you?!"
"Just let me finish..." The Death Apostle continued, "If it truly is as described in mythology, then the King of Hell wouldn't be so easily brought into our world. In reality, the King of Hell is one of the most powerful souls in the Underworld. Its emergence would not only bring disaster but could even lead to far worse consequences... namely, our extinction."
"Although it is extraordinarily powerful, it is still imprisoned by Cangdi in the Underworld. Without special means or mediums, there’s no way to awaken the King of Hell. But judging by Yang Master's actions, it seems they have a way to awaken him and possess both the ability and confidence to control him."
Upon hearing this, unease began to stir within me. If Yang Master truly had a way to awaken the King of Hell and bring him into this world, wouldn’t we just be waiting for death?
Thinking this over, I quickly asked, "Is there really nothing that can counter it?"
Death Apostle shook his head helplessly. "I can't say for sure. In ancient texts, there was only one recorded battle between the Void God and the King of Hell. It involved a Void God from the Yin Master, who once ventured into the Underworld alone to rescue a close friend. However, he returned in utter defeat. In other words, even the Void God would likely struggle to contend with him..."
After hearing this, I sighed and said softly, "Fortunately, Gu Kai discovered it in time. If it weren't for him, this catastrophe would have been inevitable."
Despite my low voice, Death Apostle caught my words. He frowned and asked, "What?! It was Gu Kai who brought you here?"
"Yes," I nodded in response.
"Where is he now?"
"I'm not sure, but I guess he is still outside fighting someone who claims to be a Void God..."
Upon hearing this, Death Apostle said to me, "Let's go check! The formation hasn't dissipated yet, and we can't shut it down. We might as well see if Gu Kai has any solutions. Although we still don't fully understand his intentions, since he is willing to help us, he shouldn't pose a threat..."
I nodded in agreement and set off with Death Apostle toward the entrance of the Lumberyard. After our earlier conversation, my body had received a bit of rest. While I wasn't fully recovered, at least the pain had lessened somewhat. However, if I had to continue fighting, my body would likely collapse completely before long, becoming like that of Yao Long.
We walked in silence as we circled around the massive formation and quickly reached the entrance. At that moment, Gu Kai and the person claiming to be a Void God were still locked in battle, fiercely exchanging blows in mid-air.
From what I could tell, while Gu Kai seemed to have a slight advantage in momentum, every fierce attack he launched was completely defended against by his opponent.
We—myself, Death Apostle, and Hu Fang—stood below watching in awe as thunderous booms echoed from above, making my eardrums throb painfully.
Just as I was lost in thought, Hu Fang spoke up beside me. "Should we go help...?"
Death Apostle glanced at her. "Help? Your powers are insignificant compared to theirs. Instead of helping, your interference could hinder them."
I chimed in as well. "Exactly. Right now, we can only hope for Gu Kai. If he loses, then we won't stand a chance of escaping either."
Although I tried to remain calm, my heart was already in my throat, and my eyes were fixed on the two people fighting in the air.
At that moment, the Sky Ancient Corpse seemed to notice our presence. He turned his head down and shouted at me, "What are you all doing back here?! Run!"
His shout startled me even more. Run?! Where could we possibly escape to? There was no way we could escape from the grasp of Yang Master. Even if we ran now, what difference would it make?!
"Should we listen to him?" Hu Fang asked timidly from the side.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Since staying here is useless, if he wants us to run, then let's leave this place for now..." With that, the three of us turned to leave.
However, just as we turned around, a strong wind rushed toward us from behind. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion as something erupted right in front of us, creating a powerful shockwave that instantly blew us three away.
In that moment, I heard the voice of the man who called himself Void God echoing through the air: "Since you've come, then don't leave..."
