Chapter 203 Departure

But even if the speed is slow, it will eventually arrive.

As they approached the castle, Tang Nian could clearly see that Lin Yehao's expression had become much more downcast.

After spending time together, Tang Nian felt that Lin Ye was still a very innocent person. She couldn't bear to see the girl like this, so she comforted her, "I'll be back in a while. The first exam only has a one-year time limit. I will bring my friends over as soon as possible to study how to defeat the Netherworld Serpent King."

Upon hearing Tang Nian's words, Lin Yehao's eyes immediately lit up. Looking at Tang Nian, she nodded and said, "Okay!"

After he finished speaking, it was obvious that Lin Ye was much happier. His steps became lighter and his movements quickened.

Tang Nian was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and followed behind Lin Yehao, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

Who could resist such an adorable "little girl"?

After entering the castle, Lin Yehao's expression turned serious. She led Tang Nian to a door that Tang Nian was familiar with.

Natasha was standing at the door. When she saw Tang Nian, she bowed respectfully and said, "Inheritor."

Lin Ye snorted coldly, but his tone towards Natasha was unfriendly. "Hey, is Lord Haier here?"

Natasha was not angered by Lin Yehao's attitude. She remained calm and respectful, saying, "Lord Haier is waiting for you all inside."

As Natasha opened the door, Lin Yehao rolled his eyes as he passed by and muttered, "Pretentious."

Tang Nian was very close to Lin Yehao, so she naturally didn't miss the sound. However, she was curious about the grudge between the two.

Ramos glanced at Natasha briefly after hearing Lin Yehao's words, said nothing more, and quickly followed the two inside.

After the three of them went inside, Natasha closed the door but did not go in; she remained standing guard at the entrance.

Inside the room, Haier was reading a book. Hearing the sound, he looked up at the three of them, his gaze finally settling on Tang Nian. "Inheritor, what brings you here?"

Tang Nian nodded slightly and said, "My first opponent is the Netherworld Serpent King. It is afraid of fire. I want to go out and bring my friend. His martial soul can restrain the Netherworld Serpent King."

Upon hearing this, Haier couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. After all, it was rare to find a fire-type soul master who could restrain the Netherworld Serpent King, and what was needed was an extremely pure and extreme flame.

Haier nodded slightly. "Okay, Natasha will escort you out later. She will tell you how to get back here."

At this point, Haier was still a little worried and said, "Don't leave here completely. You have the power of Yama within you, and we can find you at any time."

Tang Nian raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Just as you said, no one would refuse to become a god, and I am no exception. So you don't need to worry, I will definitely come back."

That's good.

Tang Nian nodded slightly, "There's only one year left, we can't afford to waste any more time, so I'll take my leave now."

Haier nodded, while Lin Yehao still held Tang Nian's hand, worriedly saying, "Be careful on the road, but there shouldn't be any problems, after all, you have the power of Yama in your body."

Tang Nian nodded slightly, smiled at Lin Yehao, and went out. Just as Lin Yehao and Ramos were about to go out with Tang Nian.

Haier said, "You two stay here."

Tang Nian paused, then quickly walked out. Natasha was already waiting at the door. Although she had been standing there the whole time, she seemed to know everything. She said, "Inheritor, I'll take you out."

Although Tang Nian found it strange, she didn't ask any further questions. She nodded and quietly followed behind Natasha.

Natasha led Tang Nian away from the castle. The path was deep and winding, stretching into the misty distance, as if it were a secret passage to another world.

Along the stone-paved path, clusters of red spider lilies, as fiery and blood-red as they stand tall in the wind, swaying with an eerie glow.

The faint sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled patterns on this forgotten road to the underworld. Every step treaded on the petals, making a soft rustling sound.

A faint fragrance permeated the air, the unique scent of the red spider lily, carrying both the warmth of life and the indifference of death.

Walking on such a road, one cannot help but ponder the mystery of life and death, and feel a sense of inexplicable sorrow and awe.

Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the petals of the red spider lily sway gently, as if telling a story of past and present lives. They are a call to the souls of the deceased and a farewell to the living, carrying a tranquility and tragic grandeur that transcends the mortal world.

When Tang Nian first walked on the road to the underworld, she didn't feel anything, but now she felt it deeply.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Natasha seemed to sense Tang Nian's thoughts and slowly said, "You don't need to overthink it. Whether it's a soul beast or a human, unless we reach the level of Yama, we all have a time to die. We just need to treat it with a normal attitude."

When Natasha said this, her expression didn't change at all; it was clear that she had seen too much of this kind of life-or-death situation and was numb to it.

Tang Nian remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then slowly asked, "Ramos and Lin Yehao are both guardians of the Eight Sacred Pillars, are you one too?"

Natasha chuckled and said, "What are you saying, Inheritor? How can I compare to those lords? I am just a servant that Lord Hail saved."

A servant?

Tang Nian could sense that Natasha's soul power was also unfathomable. If this was a servant, what kind of strength would the other six guardians of the Eight Sacred Pillars in that ancient castle possess?

No matter what Tang Nian was thinking, it seemed that nothing escaped Natasha's eyes. Natasha slowly said, "You don't need to think too much. You are the successor of the God of Hell. You don't need to take what Lord Haier said to heart. None of us would dare to do anything to you."

Tang Nian paused slightly, her gaze towards Natasha now filled with even more confusion. Indeed, she was right; Natasha knew everything.

Finally, Natasha led Tang Nian to a cave entrance covered with spider lilies. Inside, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything.

Natasha took out a rectangular golden token from her waist, engraved with the pattern of the red spider lily. She said, "With this, you can come in. When you leave, remember the way carefully and take your friends back. I will be waiting for you and your friends here, Your Excellency." Natasha remained respectful.
