This actor is full of tricks.

At 10 a.m., a private plane bearing the three large characters "Inspection Department" landed at Sanjiang Airport, where a dedicated runway had already been prepared for it.

Looking at the private jet in front of him, Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh. The Inspection Department really has money. First, Xiao Lin rode in a helicopter, and now they've arranged a private jet for him.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go up." King Yama urged, "After Changning, there's still a distance to Luofeng Mountain. If it weren't for taking care of you, we would have flown there long ago."

"I'm the one who's dragging everyone down," Lin Jue said sullenly. Not being able to fly really is a problem.

Two hours later, the plane landed on time in Changning, a province bordering Hangui. Lin Jue had passed through it during his road trip, but had never actually gone inside the province.

As soon as I got off the plane, two private cars were waiting for me. After getting in the cars, we headed straight for our destination, Luofeng Mountain.

On the way, King Yama introduced the basic situation of Mount Luofeng to Lin Jue. Since the appearance of that crack, all ordinary people within a radius of 30 kilometers of Mount Luofeng have been evacuated. The area has been completely sealed off by the Inspection Department, with more than 200 investigators stationed there, and many strange artifacts are also hidden there.

Even with such a powerful force guarding it, strange creatures still kept coming in. It seemed that something in the crack was attracting those creatures.

“Of course, the Inner World is the origin of the God of the Underworld, so it naturally has a fatal attraction for the supernatural.” Wangzai spoke up from the side, then shook his head: “It’s a pity that they are all guys who only know the basics. An Inner World can only have one God of the Underworld. It would be a waste of their time to go there.”

"The Inner World?" King Yama asked, puzzled.

Lin Jue gave a brief explanation to King Yama, but the King's confusion deepened: "According to the information we have, the God of the Underworld has perished. So, could a new God of the Underworld be born in the other world you mentioned?"

"Uh, I guess so, but I'm not entirely sure." Lin Jue gave a vague answer. Only he knew for sure that the God of the Underworld hadn't died at all; he was still alive and kicking inside his body.

"What do you mean 'should'? You must be hiding some shady secret."

King Yama looked at Lin Jue suspiciously, having already made up his mind to have a good heart-to-heart talk with Lin Jue after this matter was over.

After an hour's drive along the mountain road, the car came to a smooth stop. The driver in front apologized and said, "Gentlemen, there has been heavy rain these past few days, and the mountain roads are muddy. Our car may not be able to make it in."

"It's alright, it's not far anyway." King Yama was the first to get off the vehicle.

Lin Jue followed closely behind. The mountain path under his feet was full of potholes and mud. Looking out, the distant forests were shrouded in a misty fog, and through the fog, the outline of a mountain range could be vaguely seen.

Above the mountain range, a continuous stream of black mist was rising, shrouding the sky. The area seemed to be in eternal night. Even from a great distance, Lin Jue could feel the piercing resentment and chill.

King Yama pointed and said, "That's Mount Luofeng. How does it feel?"

Lin Jue shook his head: "It's not comfortable. This feeling is just like when I was facing an extremely vicious beast when I was at the fourth level."

"You'll know when you get closer; that place is far more terrifying than you can imagine," King Yama said. Once the special carriage carrying Kings Chixiao and Tian Shu arrived, the group and Gui Cai set off towards Mount Luofeng.

There was a lot of water on the road, and you could see the fallen leaves rotting on the ground. The surrounding mountains and forests were in a state of decay, which was not caused by the normal change of seasons. The trees were shrouded in black mist, revealing a sense of impending death. Lie Zeng's expression was serious: "The influence of the inner world is too deep. It has already caused an assimilation reaction in the present world. If we leave that rift unattended, these dozens of kilometers will become a dead land."

"How can we seal that crack?" King Chixiao rarely answered Liezeng's question.

“This…” Lie Zeng was taken aback, then shook his head: “Even the most wicked and fierce, and the king among you humans, cannot repair that rift. We can only rely on the God of the Underworld.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue slowed his pace. He remembered a sentence that 160230 had said when the school was shrouded in mist.

Find him, plug the gap...

Lin Jue thought the gaps 160230 mentioned were the loopholes in the dense fog area, but now he wondered if 160230 was talking about the rift in the inner world.

160230 said this after Qin Lang disappeared, so could "he" refer to Qin Lang?

Extending this line of thought, does it mean that Lin Jue should find Qin Lang, devour the other half of the Underworld God's consciousness, and then use the complete power of the Underworld God to repair the rift in the Inner World?
It seems that this might actually be the case.

"What are you thinking about?" King Tian Shu noticed Lin Jue's unusual behavior.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little amazed by how terrifying the rifts in the inner world are. Just one rift has turned this area of ​​tens of kilometers into this state. If more rifts appeared, or if the inner world merged with the real world, what would the whole world look like?"

"Are you being pessimistic, kid?" King Yama snorted. "Can't you think of something positive?"

"Sorry, sorry." Lin Jue scratched his head, said nothing more, and silently followed King Yama and the others.

After advancing about a kilometer, a three-meter-high electric fence appeared in front of the group, along with a group of people guarding the outside.

"Once we cross the power grid, we'll reach the Inspection Division's camp in this area. Let's grab a bite to eat and rest before heading up the mountain."

King Chixiao walked over, and the investigator guarding the door came forward, took a machine and scanned King Chixiao's eyes for a while before showing respect: "Your Majesty."

"I must thank you, otherwise the Inspection Department wouldn't have upgraded the identity verification methods. Even the king has to be verified every time he enters or leaves," King Yama chuckled.

Lin Jue chuckled twice in response. After the Crimson Sky King verified their identities, the others no longer needed to verify their identities and, led by the Crimson Sky King, passed through the electric fence.

Not far behind the power grid are temporary steel-framed houses, where people can be seen moving around from time to time.

King Chixiao introduced the camp to Lin Jue: "This is Camp No. 3, which is relatively close to Mount Luofeng."

"Further inside are Number Two and Number One. Those guarding them are mostly captains. Also, the deeper you go, the stronger the concentration of resentment emanating from the cracks becomes. People below the third rank can't withstand it. Even the captains work in shifts, each person can only stay inside for a maximum of seven days at a time. After seven days, they must leave to rest and receive psychological counseling." (End of Chapter)
