Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 285 Seeing Through Everything! Hu Jie, Quickly Becoming a Palace Master!

Looking at the dark green seeds at his feet, the Underworld Emperor fell silent for a moment, as if he had guessed something.

"Buzz!"

Immediately, the Underworld Emperor slightly raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted the dark green seed, which slowly fell into the Underworld Emperor's palm.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy swept over the seed, and a hint of surprise and understanding appeared in the Dark Emperor's gray eyes. He couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"This is indeed a mark; someone else has been eyeing this place..."

As the Underworld Emperor caressed the seed with his palm, a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. "This familiar aura... it's the plant-type soul beast, the Demon King, that helped Di Tian prepare to ambush me last time..."

"Could it be that Di Tian and the others are also planning to send someone into Dragon Valley when the Tang Clan opens it? No, it might not be a person..."

The Underworld Emperor's eyes flickered, his mind churning with thoughts of various possible outcomes.

It is now clear that the reason why Di Tian and his ferocious beasts left their marks in the weakest point of this space was because they had the same purpose as him: to send someone into Dragon Valley.

"Dragon Valley is the burial ground of the dragon race, and most of the treasures inside are useful to dragons. However, for Di Tian to go to such lengths to bring several ferocious beasts here, it seems that the person to be sent into Dragon Valley is no ordinary individual..."

Recalling the information and purpose of Dragon Valley, the Underworld Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly. "Could it be that Di Tian has a child? So he wants to send him into Dragon Valley to obtain some unknown treasure?"

But then the Underworld Emperor shook his head. If Di Tian had a child, the Spirit Pagoda responsible for monitoring him should have known long ago, but there was no news at the moment, so this guess was obviously impossible.

"Who exactly is this person that would warrant such a great deal of effort from Emperor Tian..." The Underworld Emperor stared at the seed with his gray eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

Originally, there would have been no problem for him to send Jiang Xiu into Dragon Valley, but now that Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts are also sending people into Dragon Valley, can Jiang Xiu still be completely safe after entering Dragon Valley?

The Underworld Emperor did not want to gamble on Jiang Xiu's safety, much less was he willing to do so.

It's not just because Jiang Xiu has the opportunity to become a god, but also because Jiang Xiu is a person favored by the spirit of the old plane, and the only person he can truly communicate with in this world.

“Dragon Valley… Emperor Tian…” Suddenly, the Underworld Emperor seemed to have thought of something, his eyes showing a mixture of disbelief and certainty.

"Di Tian belongs to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon clan, whose duty is to protect the dragon royal family. However, the dragon clan has long since disappeared, and the almost extinct soul beast clan is even less likely to produce a soul beast worth protecting..."

"Therefore, there is only one truth!"

"The legendary Silver Dragon King, who escaped from the realm of gods wounded in the past, has appeared!"

Muttering to himself, the Underworld Emperor became even more certain. He had heard snippets of information about the Dragon Clan and the initial war between the gods from the Demon Emperor, who was no ordinary person either.

"If it really is the Silver Dragon King, then it makes sense that Di Tian was unwilling to escape even though he was being held in a soft imprisonment in the Star Dou Great Forest by the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda. Di Tian was protecting the Silver Dragon King while healed!"

Back then, the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation gradually approached the Star Dou Great Forest, and even later set up a metal barrier outside the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. However, as long as it did not involve the core area, Di Tian did not respond to any of this.

At the time, Di Tian's almost "cowardly" behavior led several Limit Douluo Quasi-Gods to believe that Di Tian had lost his spirit, and the reputation of the Beast God continued to decline.

"Di Tian, ​​you bastard, you're even disregarding your own reputation to protect it..." Thinking of this, the Underworld Emperor couldn't help but sigh.

Although Di Tian was somewhat blindly loyal, his loyalty was beyond words!

But then, the Underworld Emperor was even more puzzled, "Now that the Silver Dragon King has emerged from seclusion, why doesn't he seek revenge on humanity?"

It should be noted that the God Realm, which protects the Douluo Continent, has now been confirmed to have disappeared. Logically speaking, no one should be able to withstand the Silver Dragon King, who possesses god-level strength.

"Could it be that the Silver Dragon King's injuries have not yet healed, or that the Silver Dragon King sealed his cultivation and, like the previous soul beasts, transformed into human form?" The Underworld Emperor kept speculating.

But the next moment, the Underworld Emperor shook his head and ruled out the second guess. The Silver Dragon King already had god-level strength, so why would he need to transform into human form?
In his view, the Silver Dragon King, who was rumored to have inherited the Dragon God's extraordinary wisdom, could not possibly have done such a foolish thing.

"That means the Silver Dragon King's injuries haven't healed, so he wants to use some treasure in Dragon Valley to recover, or some treasure in Dragon Valley is related to the revival of the Soul Beast race."

The Underworld Emperor's eyes gleamed, even revealing a hint of eagerness.

If even the Silver Dragon King wants to obtain a treasure, then that treasure must be incredibly precious!
However, Jiang Xiu now possesses the Golden Dragon King's essence within him, so he can definitely use any treasures that the Silver Dragon King can use!
If Jiang Xiu obtains this treasure, their chances of defeating Tang Hao and A Yin, the rulers of the upper plane, will be much greater.

"Very good!" A hint of satisfaction flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes. Knowing what Di Tian and the others were going to do made things easier for him.

As for the Silver Dragon King and the treasure, he needed to communicate with Jiang Xiu to see if he could get his hands on the treasure.

After all, he didn't know the exact strength of this mysterious Silver Dragon King, and he also needed to see what Jiang Xiu was thinking.

He only offered Jiang Xiu advice and information and was unwilling to influence Jiang Xiu's decisions.

The fact that the spirit of the old plane chose Jiang Xiu proves that Jiang Xiu is definitely capable.

The spirit of the old plane believed in Jiang Xiu, so he believed in Jiang Xiu.

Thinking of this, looking at the dark green seed in his hand, the Underworld Emperor's eyes flashed slightly. He then opened a space twenty kilometers away and kicked the seed into it.

"What level is this, sharing a space with me?"

Now that he knew that the person entering Dragon Valley might be the Silver Dragon King, he naturally wanted to weaken the Silver Dragon King's strength before entering the valley.

Although that space was also relatively weak, it was far less weak than this space.

"Di Tian, ​​although I admire you, we are currently on different sides. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to become friends after I deal with Tang Hao in the future."

The Underworld Emperor's gaze was distant, with a hint of hatred flashing within it.

He must avenge the death of the spirit of the old plane!
It's no use for him to grieve for himself; he wants Tang Hao to grieve for him as well!

After setting up the marks, the Underworld Emperor was about to leave when he saw several streaks of light flying over. His eyes flashed, and his figure slowly disappeared into the surrounding space.

That was an enforcement team from the Enforcement Hall, dressed in Tang Clan attire. "Pay attention, everyone! Dragon Valley will open in three months. Hall Master Hu instructed that nothing can be overlooked!"

The team leader, a powerful expert at the Contra level, gave instructions to the team members behind him.

"Captain Qi, don't worry, no one knows the exact location of Dragon Valley, no one will find it."

"That's right, even if someone knew, they couldn't enter without our Tang Clan's activation array. No one can force their way through space, can they..."

"Hahaha……"

The team members following Captain Qi didn't take it seriously. They had been stationed here for more than ten years and had never made any mistakes.

These team members were all Captain Qi's confidants. Moreover, Dragon Valley was indeed extremely secluded and safe, so Captain Qi simply instructed them to "conduct the routine inspection."

"By the way, boss, I heard that a new hall master might be chosen in five years. Do you think our Hall Master Hu Jie has a chance to become the hall master?"

"If it were me, I would definitely vote for Hall Master Hu. He stood on Shrek Academy's side twice in a row when facing the Body Sect. Not only was his stance firm, but his character was also noble!"

"Me too!"

The moment the topic was brought up, the team members immediately became interested, as they had all studied at Shrek Academy's outer campus.

The mere mention of Shrek Academy fills them with a sense of glory, causing them to stand tall and proud.

"Yes, Hall Master Hu is indeed the hall master in charge of our Tang Clan," Captain Qi remarked with a sigh.

"I heard that not only is Hall Master Hu responsible for the safety of Dragon Valley, but he has also volunteered to supervise the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. He is truly capable and will be busy with many tasks. I estimate that he will go there after Dragon Valley opens this time."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately offered a few more words of praise.

Meanwhile, the Underworld Emperor, who was hiding in the shadows, listened to their conversation, and his usually cold and stern face showed a rare strange expression.

Hu Jie's loyalty?

He had already learned from Jiang Xiu that Hu Jie had returned to the Body Sect.

Furthermore, Hu Jie volunteered to oversee the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, so is he definitely not planning to steal some immortal herbs?

He knew very well that Hu Jie's hands weren't very clean.

"Alas, Hall Master Hu has been a prospective Hall Master for nearly ten years. Is there such a thing as a prospective Hall Master who can serve for ten years?"

"Master Hu's strength is insufficient; he hasn't reached his full potential and is unlikely to be elected."

When Hu Jie was mentioned as not becoming the Palace Master, the group expressed their regret, as strength is a crucial factor in any faction.

"If we don't recall Hu Jie soon, he'll practically become the Tang Clan's leader."

With a slight sigh, the Underworld Emperor did not linger and headed towards Star Luo City.

……

Star Luo City.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, this place is a near-perfect replica of the original Star Luo City on the Douluo Continent.

"Ah, we've finally arrived at the hotel without any major incidents! I can finally get some rest."

"There shouldn't be any evil spirit masters in the hotel, right?"

"Wu Lin, do you feel that way too?"

As a soul-guided train stopped in front of the most luxurious seven-story Starlight Hotel in Star Luo City, Jiang Xiu and the others got off the train with Wu Changkong.

Xie Xie seemed to be suffering from post-war syndrome; as soon as he got out of the car, he rubbed his shoulder and asked Tang Wulin a question.

"Rest assured, everyone. Although our Star Luo City is not as safe as Shrek City, its security is not much worse."

Upon hearing this, Sima Lanxiao, who had been traveling with Shrek Academy, immediately stepped forward and offered words of comfort with a smile.

But Xie Xie panicked even more when he heard this, because they had just been kidnapped by evil spirit masters in Shrek City last time.

"Wu Lin, do you think I'll ever reach the other side, having lived such a precarious life?" Xie Xie looked at Tang Wu Lin with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Xiu paid no attention to these things, but instead activated the Ant King's absolute perception and looked toward the tall Spirit Transmission Tower not far away.

Ever since he got off the soul-guided vehicle, he felt a gaze fixed on him from the shadows.

As Jiang Xiu looked in that direction, a man dressed in a magnificent purple robe instantly looked away from a high-level room in the Spirit Pagoda.

"Domineering and cheating! Seeking death!"

The man in purple robes was Zhang Geyang, the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda branch of the Star Luo Empire.

"It seems the Tower Master of the Ancient Times was right; this boy will surely become a great threat in the future!" Zhang Geyang said slowly and in a deep voice, his eyes unfathomable.

"However, it seems this young man has come with ill intentions."

Upon noticing Jiang Xiu and Gu Yue and Na'er beside him, Zhang Geyang narrowed his eyes slightly.
