Chapter Thirty-Three: Nine Netherworlds

"This island is quite nice. It would be a good choice to buy it, and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful."

Enjoying the sea breeze blowing around him, Raven rested his chin on his hand and thought about Bai Mo's suggestion that he buy an island in Shenzhou. Now it seemed like a good choice.

After all, this place is located in the outer part of the sea, and the altitude is high enough that there is no need to worry about being submerged by tsunamis or anything like that. Moreover, the geographical environment here in China makes it impossible for tsunamis to occur. For a moment, Raven was also considering whether he should buy the island after the mission was over. Thinking about his happy life on the island in the future, it couldn't be more wonderful.

"Lord Raven, the mission target has been captured. The enemy's Titan has not been activated, so it has not caused much damage to the surrounding environment."

A short while later, the subordinate that the raven had just sent away ran over to report.

"Good, send a few more people to keep a close eye on things, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

The raven nodded, clearly satisfied with the outcome of its attack.

"You guys hurry up and act as soon as you get any news. Don't let us down at this crucial moment."

(ps: lianzi is a sensitive word)

Back at their team's rendezvous point, Raven urged everyone to hurry up, since they needed to dive into the ocean to help Bai Mo soon, and it would be difficult to act if they missed the opportunity.

"Yes, Lord Raven!"

…On the other side.

"Bai Mo, how come you're not nervous at all! This is the legendary Chi You! It's a legendary figure!"

Kiana gestured with her hands.

Since Chi You is a legendary Honkai Beast, everyone was full of anticipation for witnessing history, but Bai Mo was the only one who seemed particularly calm, as if he didn't care at all.

"Yeah, Bai Mo, aren't you curious about what the legendary Honkai Beasts look like?"

Seeing Bai Mo's calm demeanor, Mei couldn't help but ask.

"I'm definitely curious, but when I think about it, Chi You is also a Honkai Beast, and we usually deal with Honkai Beasts. Although they may look different, aren't they all the same? It's just that they are stronger."

Bai Mo shrugged helplessly and said, "After all, no matter how strong Chi You is, he's still a Honkai Beast, unless he can transform into human form, like Bella."

"Indeed, after hearing what Bai Mo said, I'm not so curious about what this legendary Chi You looks like anymore, but everyone still needs to be careful."

Looking at the area on the map that was emitting Honkai energy, Himeko turned to the group and spoke.

After all, Chi You is a legendary Honkai Beast, and his strength is unknown, so we must be extra careful.

"Don't worry, Himeko-sensei."

"Bronya got it."

"no problem."

"Okay, we'll take good care of ourselves!"

Everyone responded and quickened their pace to follow Himeko's footsteps.

About half an hour later, the group finally arrived at the beach, which had been cordoned off.

"Everyone, please check your oxygen tanks and diving suits. If everything is in order, we'll go in."

Himeko checked the pressure gauge on her oxygen tank and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone checked their equipment, and after confirming that there were no flaws, they officially dived into this unknown sea.

What awaits them below is their destination: the Nine Netherworlds.

Later, in the sea, thanks to the powerful Honkai energy detection device, Himeko led Bai Mo and his group to find the location of Jiu You without much effort.

Passing through a narrow passage, the first thing that came into view was a huge cavern, which appeared to have been deliberately destroyed. It was estimated to be part of the Nine Nether Ruins. Moreover, the interior of the cavern was filled with Honkai energy, effectively isolating it from the outside seawater.

"I never expected that this place would not only be isolated from the outside seawater, but also have oxygen. Everyone, please turn off the oxygen cylinders and don't waste them."

After removing her oxygen mask, Himeko marveled at the environment, and everyone else echoed her sentiments, turning off the oxygen supply.

"Kiana, don't touch anything here. It'll be troublesome if you encounter danger."

Seeing Kiana examining the stone wall in the distance, Mei quickly pulled her back for safety reasons.

"Bronya, are you able to examine the internal structure of this cave?"

Ignoring their playful bickering, Himeko walked directly to Bronya and asked slowly.

"It will take some time because this place is filled with Honkai energy, and the signal is very limited underwater."

Bronya answered slowly, fiddling with the machine in her hands.

"Alright, everyone rest here and stay alert. We'll go deeper after Bronya finishes analyzing the overall outline of the cave."

With a wave of her hand, Himeko gestured for everyone to sit down and rest for a while.

As everyone rested on the spot, Bai Mo also found cover and secretly sent a message to Raven.

Bai Mo: We have already entered the Nine Nether Ruins. We are currently analyzing the outline of this place, and it shouldn't be long before we can move forward.

Raven: I see the entrance to the ruins. My men and I are guarding the entrance. We'll go in as soon as there's any movement.

Bai Mo: Be careful not to get caught.

"Ugh, why do I feel like a spy?"

After making a helpless complaint and putting away his phone, Bai Mo slowly walked towards Kiana and Mei.

"I just looked around and found nothing special."

Bai Mo sat down slowly beside the two of them and gave a perfunctory reply.

"It's alright, Bai Mo. Bronya is already analyzing the structure here. Let's rest for a bit now."

Mei smiled at Bai Mo.

"Yeah, yeah, if we don't rest now, we won't have a chance to rest if we encounter danger later."

"Pah, pah, pah! You jinx!"

"Ahhh, I won't do it again, I won't do it again!"

Seeing Kiana getting mischievous again, Bai Mo chopped her with a chop to the neck, making Kiana cry out in pain. This scene also made Himeko laugh.

After a period of calm, Bronya finally got a result.

“The outline of the cave has been completely analyzed, and Bronya thinks we can move on.”

Bronya placed the construction diagram in front of everyone and then slowly began to speak.

"No problem, let's go."

After glancing at the construction diagram provided by Bronya, Himeko also found a relatively safe path.

...............

After a period of exploration, Himeko led the group to a cave just like the one before, and in the very center of the cave, there seemed to be a golden sword floating.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Chi You

"That is?"

"Everyone, stay alert and be careful."

Why would there be a sword in a place like this?

"Bronya detected that the sword contained exceptionally powerful Honkai energy, and it is very likely that all the Honkai energy in this cavern is emanating from this sword."

The three people, except for Bai Mo, were somewhat surprised by this sudden scene. After all, it was too abrupt for a sword to float in such a place, and it was bound to cause misunderstandings.

"Could this be the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Bai Mo also pretended to be surprised.

"The Xuanyuan Sword? Bai Mo, do you know this sword?"

Himeko turned to look at Bai Mo, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Xuanyuan Sword, I remember this is the sword of the Yellow Emperor. But if it really is the Xuanyuan Sword, shouldn't it be with the Yellow Emperor? Why is it here?"

Remembering the history of China that she had learned in the Honkai Impact history class, Mei couldn't help but speak up.

"Since it was the Yellow Emperor who defeated Chi You, it is very likely that this sword was used to suppress or seal Chi You, otherwise there would be no reason for this sword to exist here."

Pretending to be ignorant when he knew the truth, Bai Mo began to fabricate stories on the spot.

“Suppression and sealing, this does indeed seem like the way the people of Shenzhou do things.”

As she muttered these two words, Himeko, who had some knowledge of China, nodded slightly.

"Is this what they call the 'array eye' in Chinese novels? Mei, look, there are layers of light around this sword."

Curious, Kiana couldn't help but lean forward, as if wanting to observe her up close.

"Bronya, can you analyze the composition of this sword?"

Himeko turned her head and looked at Bronya beside her.

"Bronya has already tried, and nothing can be detected except for Honkai energy."

Bronya shook her head regretfully.

"Oh no! Everyone, look! That sword is trembling violently!"

Just as everyone was considering how to analyze the Xuanyuan Sword to obtain a way to further strengthen the seal on Chi You, an unexpected event occurred. Kiana exclaimed in surprise as the Xuanyuan Sword began to tremble, and the layers of light around it shattered, as if the seal had been broken.

Before anyone could react, the halo around the Xuanyuan Sword shattered, followed by a massive tremor throughout the entire ruins. At the same time, the golden luster that the Xuanyuan Sword originally emitted gradually turned black.

Seeing this, Bai Mo did not hesitate and immediately pulled everyone to run out of the cave, because if they were any later, they would be swallowed by Chi You.

But no one touched the Xuanyuan Sword this time. Could the seal be broken on its own? Thinking back to the original story, the seal was broken because Himeko touched the Xuanyuan Sword. Now that things are happening, Bai Mo felt a headache coming on.

"Run! This place is about to collapse!"
