Boss, should we go?” Bebe sent mentally.
“Of course.” Linley didn’t hesitate.
Bebe hurriedly sent mentally, “Didn’t you hear what the Sovereign of Life just said? That Sovereign of Death has a temper, and isn’t as good-natured as this one. If he kills the two of us because that Spirit Snake died, then that would be such a stifling, unhappy death. As I see it, there are seven Sovereigns in the Netherworld. Let’s go somewhere else and try.”
Linley frowned.
Linley was prepared to make the attempt for the sake of saving his father and friends. Too much time had already passed, and so he definitely had to try. But if Bebe were to suffer for it…
“Bebe.” Linley looked towards Bebe, then sent mentally, “Don’t go see the Sovereign of Death. I’ll just go by myself.”
“Boss.” Bebe stared at Linley.
“Don’t go.” Linley’s mentally transmitted words carried the weight of an order. “I still have my divine fire clone, but if you were to die, you would have no divine clones left.”
But Bebe hurriedly said, “Boss, say no more. If the Sovereign of Death truly wishes to kill me, even if I flee from the Abyssal Mountain, the Sovereign will easily be able to find and kill me. As I see it, it’s best I don’t run. I can’t be completely blamed for what happened anyhow. That Spirit Snake tried to kill me, after all. Can it be that I am not permitted to fight back? I imagine that the Sovereign of Death will listen to reason.”
Linley said helplessly, “Bebe, you think a Sovereign will listen to you reason with him?”
“We have the medallion from the Bloodridge Sovereign. The Sovereign of Death, for the sake of the Bloodridge Sovereign’s face, probably wouldn’t kill us.” Bebe said hurriedly, “And if he wants to kill me, there’s no point in running.”
Linley nodded slightly.
Indeed. If a Sovereign wished to kill someone, there was nowhere to run.
“The two of you actually dare to go see the Sovereign of Death?” The nine-headed silver serpent snickered.
Linley and Bebe genuflected once more towards the Abyssal Fruit Tree. “Thank you for your guidance, Sovereign. Might I ask, how can we exit the violet fog region?”
“Just go straight, that will be enough.” The Abyssal Fruit Tree’s deep voiced echoed, and then the branches began to tremble. Instantly, the violet fog up ahead began to roil and billow. It parted into two sides, revealing a clear path with no fog at all. “Follow this path and walk straight forward. You will be able to reach it.”
The Abyssal Fruit Tree had already given its advice.
Although it was good-natured, it wouldn’t repeatedly warn them.
“Thank you, Sovereign.” Linley and Bebe said gratefully.
The enormous body of that Abyssal Fruit Tree moved slightly, and then transformed into a hazy azure blur before vanishing. That enormous Abyssal Fruit Tree, which took up a space of ten thousand meters or more, vanished just like that. Linley and Bebe just stood there, immediately advancing forward along the designated route.
The colossal golden snake and the nine-headed silver serpent just laughed coldly.
“You really are useless.” The nine-headed silver serpent snickered. “You’ve been with the Sovereign for so many years, but you still can’t persuade him.”
“Alas, the Sovereign is simply too good-natured.” The colossal golden snake said resignedly.
“Watch me.” The nine-headed silver serpent stared coldly at Linley and Bebe’s backs. “Given my Sovereign’s temper, as long as I say something…these two will definitely die!”
The colossal golden snake was on good terms with the Abyssal Fruit Tree, while the nine-headed silver snake was on good terms with the Sovereign of Death.
On the way over, Linley and Bebe moved extremely quickly, and they didn’t encounter any dangers on the way over. Very soon, Linley and Bebe saw that in the distance, there was an empty area where there was no violet fog at all. Linley and Bebe immediately sped up, transforming into two blurred streaks and exiting the violet fog region!
“We finally arrived.” Bebe said jubilantly.
Linley raised his head to look as well.
In front of them was an empty area filled with grass and flowers.
“Up above!” Linley couldn’t help but look upwards, as in the skies above, a violet-black palace was hovering in the air. This violet-black palace was hundreds of meters tall, like a small mountain. The top of the violet-black palace was a tower-styled tip, and at the top of the tip was an enormous sphere.
The sphere flashed with countless bolts of lightning.
With the sphere as the origin, large amounts of lightning chains scattered downwards in every direction.
“So this is where the Heaven-Earth Chains come from.” Bebe’s eyes lit up.
“It seems this is the Sovereign’s palace.” Linley took a deep breath.
Right at this moment, outside the Sovereign’s palace gate, two figures flew out. Linley immediately recognized that it was Arthurs and Bailey. The two of them, seeing Linley and Bebe, immediately flew over.
“Linley, you really came!” Bailey said in surprise.
Arthurs said in disbelief as well, “Yennaway and her husband, those two great snakes, didn’t attack?” Arthurs knew exactly how strong those two were. Even he would find it hard to act against them.
“Of course they did, but they weren’t strong enough and couldn’t do anything to us.” Bebe said with a snort.
Arthurs and Bailey couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“Arthurs, Bailey, the Sovereign, he…” Linley just was about to speak.
“Hmph!” A cold snort rang out.
Linley and Bebe couldn’t help but turn their heads to look back. Arthurs and Bailey looked over as well. Two skinny figures, a male and a female, were walking over. The grim-looking man was dressed in a long golden robe, while the woman with black pupils wore a long silver robe. Behind them were nine young men and women, all dressed in long green robes.
“We weren’t able to do anything to them, true.” The silver-robed woman snickered. “However…very soon, they will still die.”
