"That’s someone from the Cycle Domain. The white-haired man is none other than the famous Huangfu Yu!"

"So that's Huangfu Yu, the former Domain Lord of Jinnan Domain!"

"It is said that he and the Palace Lord of Cycle Domain's Heart Rain Palace were lovers. The latter died in battle against the True Immortal Realm's Heavenly Court, and Huangfu Yu, heartbroken, actually advanced greatly in his cultivation, achieving the Dao Ancestor Realm! Later, he somehow joined the Cycle Domain."

"That middle-aged man seems to be the Palace Lord of Cycle Domain's Wu Yang Palace, but that white-skirted woman is unfamiliar. Moreover, her cultivation doesn't seem very high, only just reaching the Grand Luo Realm."

As the white-haired youth Huangfu Yu and the other two, including Jiao San, appeared, the crowd below started discussing again. Most people's gazes were on Huangfu Yu, especially the women.

"Palace Lord Huangfu, rest assured, Yin will do what I say." Yin Chengquan turned to look at Huangfu Yu and the others, and said slowly.

At this moment, rays of escaping light shot over from a distance and landed on the high platform, revealing figures in various costumes and strange appearances.

"Domain Lord Mo Zan of Shao Hao Domain arrives!"

"Domain Lord Xi Rensong of Tian Tu Domain arrives!"

"Domain Lord Yue Yang of Hundred Battles Domain arrives!"

...

These were the Domain Lords of the remaining small and medium-sized domains that originally followed the lead of the three major domains of Gray Realm: Nine Serenity, Black Rope, and Cycle.

Of course, this was only the past allegiance. After this tripartite alliance, with the entanglement of overt and covert interests, the situation would obviously undergo considerable changes.

The figures on the high platform all exuded an extremely powerful aura, the weakest of whom was at the Golden Immortal level.

Domain Lord Black Tooth also arrived here, followed by two people, namely Lord Miao Gao and that obese old man.

"Since all the Domain Lords have arrived, please take your seats." Yin Chengquan said loudly.

The Domain Lords on the high platform all sat down, and their subordinates stood behind them.

"The Three Domains Alliance officially begins!" Yin Chengquan also walked to a seat and sat down, saying slowly.

Clang!

The last sound of a huge bell reverberated in the sky. The grand bell sound slowly dissipated, and the four light pillars that soared into the sky quickly shrank and then disappeared.

...

Far away from the Taming District's Upside-Down Street and that well-known market, heading inward, not only did the buildings along the way become increasingly sparse, but even the Nether Slaves on the road became even scarcer.

After leaving that market area, Han Li and the others began to intentionally conceal their aura and disguise their figures, quietly heading towards the Hundred Hidden District.

Although there were fewer pedestrians on the road, there were more Nether Slave patrol teams encountered along the way.

Unlike ordinary Nether Slaves, these patrol Nether Slaves all wore a piece of black armor that only protected the area above the abdomen. There were no leg armor or shoulder and arm armor, which looked quite light.

The baleful aura on their bodies was mostly extremely dense. Except for the leader, who was at the Great Ascension level, the rest were mostly at the Integration and Refinement levels. They basically patrolled along fixed routes, making it not too difficult to avoid them.

Before long, Han Li and the others passed through layers of patrols and arrived at the border between the Taming District and the Hundred Hidden District.

Like the outer city of Asura, the border between the two districts was separated by a huge black city wall, on which various strange runes were carved, shrouded in a layer of hazy gray mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Above the city gate, a three-story black hall was built. Hundreds of feet away on both sides, there were corner towers. Every ten steps on the connected rampart stood an armored Nether Slave holding a weapon.

Inside the gate cave, two heavy city gates were tightly closed, and two copper-armored giants more than ten feet tall guarded the gate. Their appearance was similar to that of the human race, but they all had bald heads, ring eyes, wide mouths, and fangs protruding outwards, making them quite ugly.

Han Li was currently hiding under a gray rock hundreds of feet away from the city gate. Mo Guang and Shi Chuan'kong were also not far away, each hiding under a rock.

At this time, they all used the spatial secret technique performed by Shi Chuan'kong to conceal their figures and auras, so they were able to get so close to the city gate without being discovered.

"It's basically the same as the information obtained from soul-searching. There are special restrictions on the city wall, and those two guarding the door should be from the Copper Spine Clan, which is also a quite powerful race in Nine Serenity Domain. Their cultivation should be above the True Immortal Realm." Shi Chuan'kong glanced at the corpse of an armored Nether Slave lying on the ground and said to Han Li and Mo Guang through voice transmission.

"That's nothing. The most troublesome thing is that there should be a Nine Serenity Clan member comparable to a Grand Luo cultivator guarding the tower. It seems that they have not been transferred to Fallen Lake District. It will be difficult for us to enter." Han Li said with a slight frown.

"If we use the power of spatial laws, it won't be difficult to pass through the restrictions on the city wall safely. The difficulty is that we can't guarantee that we won't alarm that Nine Serenity Clan cultivator." Shi Chuan'kong said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter. You can use spatial laws as much as you want. I will help you conceal the baleful aura fluctuations." Mo Guang said with a smile, lightly shaking his folding fan.

"You have a way to hide it from that Grand Luo-level Nine Serenity Clan cultivator?" Han Li asked with some doubt.

"What? You don't believe me?" Mo Guang grinned and asked.

"Cultivators at the Grand Luo level are too far above our realm. Once we are alarmed, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape. Fellow Daoist Mo Guang, don't be reckless if you're not absolutely sure." Shi Chuan'kong also said with some worry.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you should know something about the secret power of this body, but you may not know exactly what magical qualities it has. Since I dare to speak, I am naturally sure." Mo Guang said to Han Li through voice transmission.

Han Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "I believe you."

Shi Chuan'kong frowned imperceptibly, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally endured it and said nothing.

"Although I have some confidence, I can't use it here. Let's go, we'll avoid the city tower and corner tower, and find a weak spot in the middle of the city wall as a breakthrough." Mo Guang said, putting away his folding fan.

Han Li and Shi Chuan'kong nodded at the same time. The three of them moved silently towards the east side of the city tower.

"Stop, we're being watched..." After heading east for more than a hundred miles, Han Li suddenly stopped them with a voice transmission.

Shi Chuan'kong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Mo Guang also had a pensive look on his face, seeming a little puzzled.

"Brother Shi, Fellow Daoist Li, don't be nervous, it's us." At this moment, a rather familiar voice came over.

Han Li and Shi Chuan'kong looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

As the voice fell, a bright white light flashed. The light and shadows in the void blurred and twisted for a moment, and two figures, one tall and one thin, emerged from it.

The thin one, wearing a black robe and with a youthful appearance, was actually "Fox Three."

And Han Li was no stranger to the other one. It was Baili Yan, whom he had met in the Three Miao Clan.

"Fox Three, why is it you... Who is this?" Shi Chuan'kong was surprised at first, and then sincerely happy.

"Brother Shi, Fellow Daoist Li, long time no see. This is Fellow Daoist Baili Yan, who also belongs to our Cycle Palace." Fox Three said with a smile as he stepped forward.

Having said that, his eyes fell on Mo Guang, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Baili Yan, who came over with him, had seen Mo Guang in the Three Miao Clan before, and had also heard Han Li roughly mention something about him, so he was not as surprised as he was.

After Han Li introduced Mo Guang vaguely, he immediately frowned and asked, "How did you two end up together?"

"This is a long story... When the True Words Sect ruins collapsed, I was swallowed by a space vortex and ended up here, almost dying at the hands of a Baleful Bone Great Demon. Fortunately, I had enough pills and immortal essence stones with me, so I kept hiding in Fang Qiu Domain until I met Fellow Daoist Baili." Fox Three scratched his head and said, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression.

Han Li saw that his expression was quite different from his previous carefree appearance, and knew that he was hiding something, so he cast an inquiring look at Baili Yan.

"After leaving the Three Miao Clan, I went to Donghu Domain and Fang Qiu Domain and met Fox Three in the Jie Shark Clan. At that time, he was stealing the Jie Shark Clan's offering treasures and was thrown into the black prison to await execution. Fortunately, the Jie Shark Clan had already decided to join the Cycle Domain, so they gave him to me as a gift. After that, he came here with me." Baili Yan explained with a wry smile.

Han Li was speechless when he heard this. He glanced at Fox Three and didn't say anything, but his eyes carried a sense of "as expected."

"Fox Three, I didn't expect you to fail too?" Shi Chuan'kong also smiled and said with a hint of teasing.

"This... maybe it's a bit of acclimatization, haha! These are all past events, let's not mention them. Let's talk about serious business." Fox Three laughed and changed the topic.

"Speaking of which, how did you find us?" Han Li asked.

"I knew you were coming with the Three Miao Clan, but I didn't see you in the Three Miao Clan, so I guessed that you must be heading for the Baleful Cleansing Pool, so I came looking for you." Baili Yan said with a smile.

"That's right. We do intend to go to the Baleful Cleansing Pool." Han Li nodded.

"That's just as well. We can team up and go to the Baleful Cleansing Pool together. With more people, there will be more strength, and the chances of success will be greater." Fox Three rubbed his hands and said.

"Okay." Han Li nodded after hearing this and looking at Baili Yan.

Although Mo Guang currently had the highest cultivation among the three, he and Shi Chuan'kong still followed Han Li's lead. Seeing Han Li say this, they naturally wouldn't have any objections.

So the five of them didn't say much and continued eastward for nearly a hundred miles before stopping again.

"That's about it. If we continue east, there will be a beacon tower, and there may be high-level Nine Serenity Clan cultivators stationed there. Let's do it here." Mo Guang said, scanning the city wall in front of him.

On the city wall, a row of armored Nether Slaves stood neatly, their eyes fixed on the front.

"The restrictions on the city wall mainly serve to strengthen and provide early warning. If we want to pass through without being detected, we need to get closer." Shi Chuan'kong said thoughtfully.

"Leave this to me." Fox Three said, shaking his wrist, and a round crystal ball appeared in his palm.
