The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 321: Initially prying open the maid Xia Chan's mouth, this place... is the Nine Netherworld?!

Holding the storage ring in her hand, Ye Youyu suddenly thought of a major problem.

This outsider was only a second-tier cultivator with no background and had to go up the mountain to collect herbs on his own.

Under normal circumstances, he does not have the ability to possess a storage ring.

Immediately, the red-robed domain lord's eyes sharpened, and he asked, "Then where did you get that storage ring in your hand? Don't tell me... you found it too!"

Such words might fool a three-year-old, but they won't fool Ye Youyu, who has been in charge of a region for many years!
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was stunned. He hadn't expected Ye Youyu to think so much, even about the loopholes in the storage ring.

It's just a pity... Lu Ye actually told the truth about the origin of the storage ring!
“This was given to me by… a young woman,” Lu Ye said slowly.

This storage ring was the one Chen Lingxiang gave him, and Lu Ye has always carried it on his hand.

Night Rain: "???"

I initially thought this answer was unreliable, but looking at the stranger's face...

Ye Youyu then felt... that it wasn't entirely impossible for someone else to give it to him.

That damn pretty boy, his skills are so low, but he's actually quite good-looking!
After a few more questions, Ye Youyu pondered and felt that she had thought it through enough.

This outsider indeed came to this place by chance.

Then, Ye Youyu severed the control of the bewitching spell.

However, those two source crystals were... quietly taken away by the red-robed domain lord.

Lu Ye naturally saw this action.

He never expected that a dignified seventh-tier Ghost King, the lord of a region, would actually...

Suppressing the strange, faint attraction, they arranged for the outsider to stay temporarily in a small courtyard outside the underground palace, where he would be well cared for.

Ye Youyu gazed at the two Source Crystals in her hand, which had never been contaminated by this world, and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Lu Ye, who had just walked out of the main hall, had his eyes covered by a black cloth and could not see what was happening inside the underground palace.

At this moment, Lu Ye was being led outside by a maid.

“Young master, please come with me.”

The maid led the blindfolded Lu Ye outwards, and soon they reached the outer perimeter of the underground palace.

The buildings here are not as luxurious as those in the core of the underground palace, and the pervasive chill is also much less intense.

squeak...

The sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open rang out, and another voice came to my ears.

"Your name is Lu Xuan, right? From now on, I will call you Young Master Lu. Alright, Young Master Lu, you can remove your blindfold now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye removed his blindfold, revealing a small courtyard. Like other places, this place was also filled with a faint, chilly aura.

Only Lu Ye, having displayed the cultivation of the Acquired Realm, could isolate himself from this level of Yin energy invasion. If an ordinary person lived in this underground palace...

I'm afraid that in just a few days, they will be attacked by yin energy and suffer from a combination of illness and pain.

This place is definitely not a place for ordinary people.

"Young Master Lu, my name is Xia Chan. If you ever need anything or lack anything in the future, please let me know, and I will do my best to help you." The maid Xia Chan bowed to Lu Ye.

The lord of the territory specifically instructed that this outsider be allowed to stay here and be treated well.

Xia Chan was also assigned to take care of Lu Ye.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Lu Ye nodded and smiled at the maid.

Hearing Lu Ye's thanks, Xia Chan, who was about to leave the courtyard, paused slightly.

Looking at the young man with a smile on his face, who seemed unaffected by his arrival in this other world, Xia Chan thought for a moment and whispered.

"By the way, Xia Chan, if I may say something, Lord You Zhan has a rather bad temper... You'd better not leave the courtyard easily."

Upon hearing this whispered reminder, Lu Ye's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xia Chan. I'll remember it."

With a wave of her hand, Xia Chan left without lingering any longer.

Originally, she shouldn't have said that. Watching Xia Chan leave, Lu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ghost War... Is it the malice of an NPC from another world?"

Lu Ye didn't actually feel any pressure from You Zhan's threat.

A fifth-tier cultivator in this world should be equivalent to a Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm.

That red-robed domain lord, Ye Youyu... is the ultimate boss who truly requires our attention and effort!

"A seventh-tier Ghost King... that corresponds to a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Realm?"

The Heavenly Realm... is indeed quite terrifying; it truly lives up to its reputation as the ruler of a region.

After sweeping the courtyard, Lu Ye found it to be alright; he had never really cared much about where he lived.

"I just don't know how to connect with the Lord of the Nightshade Domain and start the strategy... no, I mean, the trial mission."

Lu Ye pondered that the Crimson Cloud Sect's secret realm would only last for three days, and he probably wouldn't be able to leave before it closed this time.

Although time flows faster in the illusionary world than in the outside world, Lu Ye was not confident that he could complete this trial.

If you don't finish, the longer you stay here, the more time you waste.

So, after thinking it over, he set a timeframe for himself.

If I cannot establish a relationship with the Lord of the Nightshade Domain within three months... then I will activate the Illusionary Light Sphere and leave this place.

"This is that terrifying seventh-tier Ghost King's underground palace. There must be many powerful experts inside, so it's not suitable for cultivation..."

Lu Ye briefly sensed the energy of heaven and earth in the air...

"No, this doesn't seem like proper primordial energy... There seems to be something strange mixed in with it?"

Soon, Lu Ye discovered that the source energy of heaven and earth in this world was problematic!
Now, Lu Ye's expression really turned serious.

Doesn't this mean that if he were to intervene in this world and want to recover...?

Is it possible to replenish itself by absorbing this somewhat strange energy of heaven and earth?

"So, the fact that the Lord of the Night Demon could sense that my aura was off could be related to my Origin Qi?"

Fortunately, Lu Ye had some recovery pills that Youluo had given him before, which came in handy at this moment.

"This Youluo, by sheer accident, actually did something right."

Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

For the time being, he didn't have any good ideas on how to get in touch with the Lord of the Nightshade Domain.

Soon, Lu Ye stayed in the small courtyard on the edge of the underground palace for half a month.

For the past two weeks, the Lord of the Night Demon Domain seemed to have forgotten about him, and there was no word from him whatsoever.

However, Lu Ye did not come away empty-handed.

Every two or three days, Xia Chan would come over as usual to check on the strangers who had been asked by the domain lord to stay there.

After Lu Ye diligently used all of Blue Star's social skills, he finally managed to get Xia Chan to open up...

We were able to occasionally glean some information from the cicadas.

"Sister Xia Chan is here? You look even better today than yesterday." Lu Ye said with a smile as he looked at Xia Chan, the maid who stepped into the courtyard after knocking on the door.

"Don't give me that crap, I don't believe your nonsense, you outsider." Xia Chan said seriously.

But the occasional glint in her eyes indicated that she at least didn't dislike such kind words.

"By the way, Sister Xia Chan, I forgot to ask you, is our Night Nether Domain the only spiritual domain in this world?" Lu Ye asked with a smile.

“Of course not…” Xia Chan whispered, “Our Nine Netherworld has a total of five domains…”

Upon hearing this, a sudden roar echoed in Lu Ye's mind.

...By the way, the Nine Netherworld?!
