“Of course, I’ve already expected that. It’s the place that can remove the strange curse on you,” Jiang Yiming chuckled, “If there’s nothing unusual about it, I would’ve found it strange instead. Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s quickly enter the city and find out what’s going on!”
Dong Mi agreed and followed Jiang Yiming into Underworld City.

‘The two of them walked to a spot that was more than ten miles away from the city, and they felt a chill over their bodies.

The aura around them became somewhat unstable, and they could hear the sound of waves.

In such a place with extreme cold, even the circulation of their spiritual energy in their bodies seemed to be somewhat obstructed.

The two of them finally entered through the city gates.

“Oh? I didn’t expect that there would still be people who would dare to enter Underworld City now,” They had just entered when a peddler who seemed to be selling something by the roadside spoke up.

“Oh? Even the city gates of Underworld City are unguarded, why wouldn’t anyone dare to enter?” Jiang Yiming walked to the front of the peddler.

However, he saw that the peddler wasn’t selling any physical goods.

Instead, there were only some notes on the stall before him.

Dong Mi was about to take a note, but the vendor stopped him, “Hehe, if you two have no intention of buying, please don’t touch them. The celestial phenomenon is unclear and the blood moon is coming. The gates of the Underworld are about to be wide open. It’s easy to enter, but difficult to leave!”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yiming recalled the strange aura that surrounded him when he had been about to enter the city.

Could it be that it was some strange barrier?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming frowned.

With a light tap of his toes, he rose and headed out of the city.

He wanted to see if Underworld City was really as the peddler said.

One could only enter but not leave?

Just as he was about to leave the city, his vision suddenly blurred.

It was as if a mass of miasma made him unable to open his eyes.

‘When he could open his eyes again, the thing in front of him was the gates of Underworld City that had been behind him just now!

He definitely hadn’t turned around at all just now.

“I say, sir, I don’t know how many people have already tried leaving these few days, but all of them have failed! Since you’re here, then you should take things as they are!”

“The situation that Underworld City allows entry but not departure should have only happened within these few days, right?” Seeing that the person before them was telling the truth and even his powerful Master had been unable to find a way out, Dong Mi was getting anxious.
“Yes, but since the two of you are here now, you should be here for the legend, right? Now that you know that the legend is true, shouldn’t the two of you be happy?”

Jiang Yiming nodded, “What exactly do you sell?”

Looking at the sneaky look of the peddler in front of them, Jiang Yiming and his disciple were naturally curious.

“Sigh, I have been here for many years. You will naturally learn what kind of business I am in, but if you don’t, it’s better not to ask in detail. It will be difficult to explain in a short time anyway,” The peddler laughed dryly, “I’m already very grateful to have the two of you say a few words to me in this cold
wind!”

“Then why don’t you choose to get out of the city as soon as possible now that it’s so treacherous?” Dong Mi asked again.

“Hehe, indeed. When the Underworld opens, I wonder what scene will play here,” The peddler shook his head, “But there are rumors saying that when the last time the Underworld opened, someone went there and obtained a lot of treasures. Although I don’t dare to venture deep into it, I might be able to
get a share from the snatching when something from the Underworld appears.”

So that was the case.

It seemed that the rumors were true.

Not only could he help Dong Mi on this trip, but he could also obtain some treasures.

Jiang Yiming nodded.

He and Dong Mi continued deeper into Underworld City, searching for clues.

“Master, I don’t know why,” Dongmi’s expression was a little puzzled as he suddenly spoke, “But when I walked into the city just now, I had felt a faint sense of unease. The deeper we’re in, the more uneasy I feel.”
Could it be that he was being called by something?

Although the general direction of them trying to solve the curse was not wrong, and they knew that the solution must be closely related to Underworld City, or rather, the Underworld, how could they solve the mystery in such a huge city?
There was a tavern ahead.

It seemed that no matter what the environment was, there would always be people doing business like this.

Either way, it was good, since this provided them with a place to rest.

“Dong Mi, tell me more about your matters and what you know in detail,” Drinking a cup of hot wine and smelling the fishy smell in the air, he asked Dong Mi to recount his memories again.
“Speaking of which, I really don’t know much about my background. The only thing on me that is related to my family is the broken jade pendant.”

Broken jade pendant?

Upon hearing this word, Jiang Yiming’s eyes lit up.

Since Dong Mi’s family was so mysterious, yet they had left a jade pendant as a keepsake for him that was related to the matter of their survival, there might be other clues hidden in the jade pendant!
“Hurry up and take out that broken jade pendant of yours.”

Upon hearing his Master’s words, Dong Mi was taken aback before he hurriedly took out the broken jade pendant that had already been broken into a few pieces.

‘The uneasy aura that had been emitted just now was actually from the broken jade pendant!

To think he only realized it after such a long time!

“No wonder I had been so uneasy upon entering the city! So it’s because of this!”

“Looks like it must have something to do with the matter! Dong Mi, quickly piece it back together!”

Jiang Yiming felt that it was quite strange because he could not feel the so-called uneasy aura that Dong Mi spoke of at all.

He scrutinized the ancient jade pendant and found that there seemed to be something like blood vessels on it.

“Hiss, could it be that this is a piece of blood jade?” Jiang Yiming was shocked.

He had read about it in an ancient book.

If an expert who was about to die injected his last blood essence into a blood jade, the item would be able to seal the last remnant of his will.

However, he had only read about it in that ancient book.

To be able to take out a blood jade of this grade, just what kind of strength did the so-called mysterious family behind his disciple have?!

“Master, I don’t know why, but I vaguely feel that it’s…” Dong Mi’s expression was somewhat nervous as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before continuing, “It’s trying to lure me.”

“Should I help you?”

“It’s alright. The power doesn’t seem to have much malice towards me. It’s just that I don’t dare to casually accept such a tyrannical power,” Dong Mi’s gaze calmed down.

Spiritual energy surged from his palm as he slowly gathered the pieces of the broken jade pendant and pieced them back together.

The blood vessels that grew on the broken jade pendant were thus connected and intertwined.

Finally, a huge wave of energy surged out.

Even Jiang Yiming could feel the aura surging out from it.

“Hahaha, looks like it is fated that my family shouldn’t be cut off! It shouldn’t be!” An old voice suddenly sounded in the air.

It seemed to come from the broken jade pendant that had just been pieced together.
