Chapter 74: The Nine Hades Region

Three days later, the Ye Family finished their preparations and were ready to leave the imperial city for their fiefdom.

The Ye Family intended to leave quietly, but Liu Jiangmo personally led the civil and military officials to bid them farewell.

"Young Master Chen, in this storage ring, there are one million spirit stones. Please accept it." Liu Jiangmo's expression was reverent.

One million spirit stones was no small amount. Even the Ye Family probably couldn't produce one million spirit stones.

But Liu Jiangmo didn't feel distressed at all.

He knew that worldly power was not important to someone like Ye Chen, whose aspirations reached the heavens. Only spirit stones that were beneficial to cultivation would matter to him.

This was all he could do.

"I accept it." Ye Chen did not refuse. In the immortal martial world, he wouldn't even glance at these worthless spirit stones, but after his rebirth, even a single spirit stone was very important to him.

Not to mention one million spirit stones.

With these one million spirit stones, he was confident he could recover two levels of cultivation.

"Young Master Chen, the Xuantian Empire will always be your home, but if you have any needs, I will not hesitate." Liu Jiangmo's expression was solemn and extremely determined. His fate, as well as the fate of the empire, depended entirely on Ye Chen.

"Let's go back." Ye Chen smiled lightly, waved his hand gently, and led the Ye Family away in a cloud of dust.

Liu Jiangmo led the civil and military officials to see them off for a hundred miles before stopping and returning after Ye Chen and the others had disappeared.

...

Tianyou City.

People crowded together ten miles away, waiting for the arrival of the Ye Family.

When Ye Chen and his son went to the imperial city, almost everyone in Tianyou City thought they wouldn't return and would die in the imperial city.

But now, Ye Chen had been appointed as a duke and an outsider king, and even gained control of a territory in Tianyou City.

This undoubtedly shocked the entire Tianyou City.

From now on, the Ye Family would be the ruler of Tianyou City. How could they not welcome them?

Moreover, Ye Chen and his son had caused quite a stir in Tianyou City before. Who could guarantee that the Ye Family, now appointed as kings, wouldn't settle scores with those who had troubled them before?

Ye Chen couldn't be bothered with these people's enthusiastic flattery. He left everything to Ye Qingcang and returned to Tianyou City to cultivate in seclusion.

One million spirit stones was a small supplement for him. In just seven days, he recovered two levels of cultivation, reaching the pinnacle of the sixth level of the Elemental Vein stage.

Ye Chen had already achieved complete understanding of martial dao. As long as he had enough vitality, he could break through unconditionally. Breaking through two levels in seven days might seem rapid to outsiders, but for Ye Chen, it was only natural, and he was even somewhat disappointed that it was too slow.

"Son, are you going to the Nine Hades now?" Ye Feng, the patriarch of the Ye Family, asked Ye Chen.

"The Northern Cold Palace seeks death, so naturally I will fulfill their wish." Ye Chen replied calmly.

"We'll go with you." Ye Qingcang spoke up.

But Ye Chen shook his head. "The Northern Cold Palace is nothing to worry about. Grandfather, father, you stay in Tianyou City and focus on cultivation. When I return, I'll go to the Wishing Immortal Tower."

The Wishing Immortal Tower was like a mountain pressing down on the Ye Family, but Ye Chen's appearance gave them hope.

"Sister, focus on your cultivation. I hope that when I return, you will have entered the Imperial Martial realm." Ye Chen looked at Ye Shuixian and said seriously.

The Frost Jade Body had limitless potential, and Ye Chen had great expectations for her.

"Okay." Ye Shuixian replied seriously.

Since Ye Chen told her that she had limitless potential, then she would definitely not let Ye Chen face everything alone.

The next day, Ye Chen left the Xuantian Empire and entered the Nine Hades Region. He only brought Wu Qingsnow with him, intending to go to the Northern Cold Palace to exterminate Bei Guanghan.

...

The territory of the Nine Hades was vast, with countless cities, but the Nine Hades Region was the most famous.

The Nine Hades Region was the core area of the Nine Hades, where the eighteen sects of the Nine Hades were located.

The Nine Hades Region was divided into: the Scarlet Hades Region, the Azure Hades Region, the Cyan Hades Region, the Abyssal Hades Region, the Vermilion Hades Region, the Dark Hades Region, the Purple Hades Region, the Practice Hades Region, and the Red Hades Region.

And the Nine Hades Region was further divided into Upper Three Hades, Middle Three Hades, and Lower Three Hades.

The Scarlet Hades Region, the Azure Hades Region, and the Cyan Hades Region were the Upper Three Hades, the most powerful areas of the Nine Hades, gathering over half of the sects of the Nine Hades and dominating the region.

The Abyssal Hades Region, the Vermilion Hades Region, and the Dark Hades Region were the Middle Three Hades, also with considerable strength.

The Purple Hades Region, the Practice Hades Region, and the Red Hades Region were the Lower Three Hades, the core areas of the Nine Hades, but they were the weakest.

Among them, the Red Hades Region was close to the Xuantian Empire, and the Northern Cold Palace was the overlord of the Red Hades Region.

"The sky has nine heavens, and the earth has nine hells. The territory of the Nine Hades is quite interesting. Could it be that this is the Nine Hades Hell?" After familiarizing himself with the terrain and power distribution of the Nine Hades Region, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

In the immortal martial world, there were nine heavens symbolizing the supreme, and the Nine Hades corresponded to the nine hells. Wasn't this like hell?

"I heard my grandfather say that the Nine Hades Region used to be the land of the overlords of the Canglan Continent, but for some reason, it fell into decline and has gradually disappeared from the stage of dominating the

 Canglan Continent. It has become marginalized." Wu Qingsnow said.

"In that case, the Nine Hades Region used to be the core of this continent." Ye Chen smiled lightly.

Interesting!

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a melodious sound of the zither drifted over. The zither music was very pleasant, containing a certain mood that made people involuntarily intoxicated by it. Even Ye Chen couldn't help but slow down his pace, and his brows gradually furrowed.

In his mind, various past events involuntarily emerged, and the figure he yearned for became clearer, filling his mind.

"Purple Qiong!"

At this moment, Ye Chen seemed eager to return to the immortal martial world, hand in hand with his beloved, and never ask about the world again, living freely and leisurely, only longing for love.

"Son."

Wu Qingsnow's heart trembled slightly. She had never seen Ye Chen like this before.

Hearing Wu Qingsnow's call, Ye Chen finally returned to his senses from that mood.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to hear such zither music in this lower realm. It can affect my state of mind and immerse me in it." Ye Chen thought to himself, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

He wondered what kind of person could play such wonderful zither music, as if seeing through all the world's worries and only longing for love, willing to give up everything for it.

With a flicker of his figure, Ye Chen walked forward.

That zither music could penetrate the heart, as if possessing a strange power that could stir up the most cherished desires in a person's heart. This wasn't an illusion, but the effect of the zither music, making people involuntarily and naturally recall their innermost desires.

Merely hearing the zither music without seeing the person behind it gave people a strong desire to meet the master of the zither music and see who he was.
