“Cough cough… I say, fellow Daoists, as the saying goes, meeting in a foreign land is fate. Seeing that we are all cultivators from the True Immortal World and have answered so many of your questions, could you please save me first? Then we can talk about other things?” The statue then said hopefully.

“Saving you isn't out of the question, but we three are new here and would like to inquire about some information about the Netherworld from you,” Han Li said noncommittally.

“Of course, that's no problem, but I haven't been to many places in the Netherworld. I'm only familiar with this Black River Domain,” the statue said quickly.

“Black River Domain… does that refer to a region in the Netherworld? How many regions are there in the Netherworld?” Han Li asked.

“That's right. The Netherworld is a very vast region. As for how vast, even the people of the Netherworld probably can't say for sure. The only domains I know are the Black River Domain, the Earth Underworld Domain, and the Yama Domain,” the statue said.

Han Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard "Yama Domain," but he continued with an unchanged expression,

“Tell me about the Black River Domain first.”

“The Black River Domain is said to be no less than a billion miles in area, mainly named after the Black River below. Inside, there are seventeen or eighteen places such as the Howling Ghost Wasteland, the Undying Forest, and the Blood Prison Canyon. There are many ghosts living there, but the races are mixed, and not many have intelligence…” the statue said eloquently.

From the statue's words, Han Li had a general impression of the Netherworld.

It wasn't much different from the True Immortal World, the Demon Realm, or the Grey Realm. It was also a place where races stood side by side, each occupying its own territory.

“What powerful figures are there in the three major regions of the Black River Domain, the Earth Underworld Domain, and the Yama Domain? What are their strengths?” Han Li pondered slightly and asked again.

“I don't know much about this. I've only heard people say that there are three giants in the Netherworld, called Blood Fury, Nether King, and Ghost Witch, each ruling a region. The Black River Domain seems to be under the control of Blood Fury. As for which side the other two domains belong to, I'm not too sure. The main reason is that there are very few ghosts with intelligence here in the Netherworld, so it's difficult to get information… As for the strength of those three, it is said that they are extremely powerful, but I don't know to what extent,” the statue said.

“What do you know about the Yama Domain?” Han Li nodded and changed the subject.

“I haven't been to the Yama Domain. I've only heard that the ghost race there is very strong and the management is strict, unlike the Black River Domain, which is more chaotic,” the statue said after pondering for a while.

“Have you heard of a place called Yama's Mansion over in the Yama Domain?” Han Li asked directly.

“Yama's Mansion? I vaguely remember searching the soul of a ghost before, and I saw such a place in its memory. It was in the frontier of the Yama Domain and seemed very mysterious,” the statue paused, silent for a moment, seemingly trying to recall.

“Do you still remember where that place is?” Han Li asked immediately, delighted to hear this.

“I've been sealed here for who knows how many years. It's been too long, and I don't remember many things clearly, but I should be able to try,” the statue said.

Han Li didn't respond immediately when he heard this, but glanced aside and asked through voice transmission:

“Tihun, can you judge whether this person is telling the truth?”

“This person is sealed inside, and I can't sense his soul, but judging from his tone, it shouldn't be a lie. Of course, it's also possible that this person is very good at disguise,” Tihun replied through voice transmission.

Han Li felt certain when he heard this and was about to speak.

“You said you are from the Earth Sovereign Sect of the Earthen Soil Immortal Domain. Which branch of the Earth Sovereign Sect are you a disciple of?” Jin Tong suddenly opened his mouth.

Han Li and Tihun looked surprised.

“This fellow Daoist knows our Earth Sovereign Sect quite well. I am a disciple of the Bitter Bamboo Peak branch of the Earth Sovereign Sect, under the tutelage of Yue Jing, the peak master of Bitter Bamboo Peak,” the statue was stunned again, then smiled.

Jin Tong stopped speaking when he heard this and winked at Han Li quietly.

Although Han Li was curious as to why Jin Tong was so familiar with the Earthen Soil Immortal Domain, he didn't ask much. Instead, he said:

“Alright, I'll release you, and you will take us to Yama's Mansion.”

“No problem, deal!” the statue immediately guaranteed.

Han Li smiled slightly and said to Tihun beside him, "Tihun, help me break this seal."

Tihun nodded.

"This seal is not simple. Over the years, I have been constantly researching and pondering many methods, and I have mastered some key points. Do you want me to tell you?" the statue said.

"No need, although this seal is powerful, it has weakened a lot with the passage of time. I have already seen where the flaws are," Han Li shook his head and said.

Then, he told Tihun where the flaws were through voice transmission, and the two began to cast spells.

Before long, Tihun was on the left, and Han Li was on the right. The two simultaneously cast spells and shot a beam of light onto the statue.

Han Li used immortal spiritual power to strike a sealing rune on the right side of the statue's body, while Tihun used the power of law to cover the entire body of the statue.

The sealing rune immediately ignited a cluster of ghostly green flames under the impact of immortal spiritual power. After burning for a while, it suddenly transformed into two lines of fire, extending up and down, circling the entire statue, and then merging into one place.

As the power of Tihun's law continued to enter the statue's body, the statue began to glow with scarlet light, and the layer of stone skin covering its body began to peel off little by little, finally revealing its true form completely.

Sealed in the statue was actually a burly man with a height of three zhang. He was naked from the waist up, his muscles bulging, and his blood-red skin was covered with circles of strange runes, which looked full of primal power.

Even more bizarre was that there was only a conspicuous scar like a blood scab on his neck, and there was no head at all. However, on his chest, on top of his breasts, grew two eyes that shimmered with golden light.

"What the hell is this…" Jin Tong couldn't help but gasp when he saw this and muttered to himself.

Tihun also frowned tightly.

"This guy… is probably not from the Immortal World." Just as Tihun and Jin Tong were surprised, Han Li's voice transmission sounded in their ears.

"Giggle… giggle…"

A strange laughter came from the headless man. Han Li and the other two subconsciously distanced themselves from him and looked at his body. They saw his abdomen bulging up and down, and a muffled sound rang out.

"Finally free, finally out, haha… I didn't expect you to have some skill, you can actually break this seal!" The headless man's voice became louder and louder, and the madness and hatred contained in his voice became more and more intense.

This voice and tone were completely different from before.

"Now that you are free, fellow Daoist, please keep your promise and lead the way," Han Li said with one hand behind his back, the palm in his sleeve lit up with light, ready to guard against this person's sudden attack.

"In the Netherworld, there are only lies, where is there keeping promises? You will be a blood sacrifice for my battle ax," the headless man's abdomen bulged, and he said in a manic state.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody light flashed in his hand, and he held a blood-colored giant axe that was three zhang high.

"Dong"

The headless man held the axe in one hand and stomped heavily on the ground, and a powerful aura immediately rippled from his body.

"You are at the Great Luo Peak realm, but you are sealed here. Who exactly are you?" Han Li flicked his wrist, and a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword appeared in his palm, scolding.

"My name… is Blood Fury!"

The headless man roared, and after taking a step, a layer of red halo lit up on his body, and then turned into a series of blurred phantoms. No one could see his movements clearly, and he came behind Tihun and chopped down with an axe.

"Be careful…" Han Li shouted, and the law of time in his body was already running, and his figure instantly chased after him.

Tihun herself had already reacted. Her figure rushed forward, just dodging the edge of the giant axe.

"Chī…" A sound of tearing cloth rang out, and Tihun's back suddenly tore, splashing a piece of blood.

At the same time, Han Li had already flashed behind Blood Fury, and the long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward, heading straight for his back.

However, at this moment, a bizarre scene appeared!

Blood Fury did not turn around, but there was a "kacha" sound from his shoulder joint, and his arm actually twisted directly back, holding the blood axe for a block, using the body of the axe to resist the sword.

Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he pinched a magic formula in his hand, and a piece of golden brilliance suddenly erupted from the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

Countless golden electric wires "zizila" sounded, turning into Dauntless Divine Thunder that struck out, covering Blood Fury.

Blood Fury's eyes on his chest were hit by the golden thunder and immediately closed, making a sound of wailing.

Tihun immediately flew away from him and landed next to Jin Tong.

Jin Tong glanced at it and saw that Tihun's back was torn apart, and a narrow blood line almost ran through the entire spine. The wound was so deep that the vertebrae inside could almost be seen.

She was immediately furious, and a golden light flashed on her body, and she suddenly rushed towards Blood Fury.

"Drink…"

At this moment, Blood Fury shouted, and the rune light on the giant axe in his hand shone brightly, and a blood-colored vortex suddenly appeared in it.

The golden thunder released from Han Li's Bee Cloud Sword was immediately absorbed by the vortex and poured into the giant axe.

The giant axe was entangled with golden light, swung an arc in the air, and then chopped down towards Han Li.

It was covered with blood and wrapped in a piece of golden lightning, like a waterfall pouring down on Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li did not meet his edge, but flashed away.

After the Dauntless Divine Thunder in Blood Fury's giant axe was released, the blood-colored halo on his body lit up again, and his figure drew a series of afterimages, and he chased after Han Li.

However, a golden light arrived quickly on the way, but it was Jin Tong who rushed over.

Blood Fury's figure twisted violently, and another axe slashed down towards Jin Tong.

At this moment, Jin Tong's body shone with golden light, and he instantly revealed his Devouring Gold Immortal body, crashing into the blood-colored giant axe without dodging.

A sharp sound of "clang"!

The edge of the blood-colored giant axe fell, but Jin Tong's two front claws were crossed and clamped, and he was stuck in the middle.

A strange color flashed in Blood Fury's eyes in his abdomen, and he suddenly pressed down.

Jin Tong's body sank down, but he still firmly controlled Blood Fury's giant axe without letting go.
