Ye Shikai successfully pressured Long Xiaotian into silence, securing the information on Huo Hua's land rentals with the Wu family's backing. Back in the hotel, Ye Shikai analyzed the extensive list of properties, realizing the hidden organization's significant financial power and devising a plan to investigate them without alerting the enemy. Meanwhile, in Europe, Nightmare and Soul Destroyer discussed the Netherworld Palace's weakened state after recent losses and the urgent need to recruit and strengthen their forces to counter threats from Ares, Selena, Aphrodite, and Doris.

The skill might be lacking, but Nightmare absolutely cannot swallow this humiliation; the blood feud must be avenged. Although Ye Shikai stayed in Yanjing and left the position of Netherworld King to Nightmare, it doesn’t mean he disregards everything. If necessary, he will return to assist in battle. At the Main God Conference on the Holy Mountain, Doris and Aphrodite set a trap, gravely injuring Ji Qian and killing most of the Hidden Guards. In the end, even Ye Shikai’s time travel was due to these two women...

"We already have over two hundred people, but our strength is uneven. However, training new recruits is just a matter of time. Besides, several assassin groups have also expressed their support for us. Once we attack the Sea King Palace, they will all support us," Soul Destroyer added. The Netherworld Palace has been training day and night, but as the power of the Three Temples resurges, Doris will certainly notice. Nightmare predicts that it won’t be long before the Sea King Palace provokes them.

"If they dare to come, we’ll kill one if there’s one, and we’ll kill both if there are two. Although Doris heavily damaged us at the Main God Conference, she also became infamous for it. Especially the other Main Gods, they were also affected. If we take action, they will definitely rise against Doris."

"That’s right, we have strength in numbers. No matter how strong Doris is, can she be stronger than Zeus back then? Even Zeus fell under our siege," Demoness said confidently. There was already a faint scent of gunpowder in the air, the great battle was imminent, and both sides were roping in allies as if the two sides of a balance, both wanting to add to their bargaining chips to gain the final victory.

"Although we have a large number, to defeat Doris, we may still need the Lord to take action." Nightmare felt reluctant, but objectively speaking, he was not Doris’s match. Even with Soul Destroyer and Demoness on his side, their combined strength was barely even. Even War God Wang Kai wasn’t her match, so to completely eliminate Doris, Ye Shikai must take action. It would be even better if Ji Qian could come.

"Lord Netherworld King, Lord War God has arrived," a Hidden Guard reported.

"Great." Nightmare quickly went to greet him; it was indeed Wang Kai who came.

"Well, I heard Old Ye gave the position to you, quite unexpected." Wang Kai patted Nightmare on the shoulder, still rather shocked by the news of Ye Shikai relinquishing his position, though he knew well that Ye Shikai had been staying in Yanjing, and sooner or later, the Netherworld Palace would be handed over to Nightmare to manage.

"This position of Netherworld King was given to me by the Lord, so I must not let him down," Nightmare said plainly.

"Very well, you’ve got ambition, but I wonder... what do you plan to do next?"

"Of course, it’s to regroup our forces, then charge into the Sea King Palace."

"Good, good, good." Wang Kai said loudly, applauding thrice, "Just as I hoped. Doris and Aphrodite, those two malicious women, I’ve heard they are also strengthening their forces, aiming to wipe us out while we are still weak."

"This is outright bullying; this time we will fight to the bitter end," Wang Kai declared firmly.

"I have been uniting forces from various parties; this time, it’s not just a battle between Main Gods. In reality, it has already turned into a massive slaughter between two camps. If we win, Doris and Aphrodite will surely die, and North America and South America will fall into our sphere of influence. If we lose, the Three Temples will be completely finished, and the entire Underworld’s forces will submit to them."

The great war is unavoidable, and neither side has any room to retreat...

"Alright, I am also contacting my former subordinates, and they are all willing to join," Wang Kai continued, "But I still need to find Old Ye, we cannot handle Doris without him."

"That’s what I think too. Among us, only the Lord can defeat Doris."

Hong Kong.

"How are you sure they’re here?"

"I never said I was sure," Ye Shikai retorted.

"Then why did you bring me here?" Tianjing asked. They were standing in front of a factory; this was a piece of land rented by Huo Hua from the Longfeng Group. Compared to other locations, this one was closest to the city center, though it was still in the "suburban fringes." However, there were quite a few people around, with a considerable flow of people, not as remote as one might imagine.

"I just have a suspicion," Ye Shikai said, looking at the factory gate. Vehicles were coming and going, from luxury sports cars to large cargo trucks, appearing quite ordinary.

"Why do you say that?" Tianjing asked back.

"If you want to build a secret base without being detected, how would you choose?"

"Find a remote place, uninhabited, desolate. If found out, kill to silence," Tianjing replied. Most people would think that the more secretive, the more hidden, even wishing to hide it in their underwear...

"The more you want to cover it up, the more conspicuous it becomes. What if the opponent thinks in reverse, using the tactic of ’hiding it in plain sight’?" Ye Shikai’s words changed Tianjing’s expression. Right across the street was a residential area, with tens of thousands of nearby residents. The daily traffic on this road was also in the tens of thousands. Building a factory here, engaging in ’secretive’ activities, seemed to be asking for attention.

"You’ve got a point, but isn’t this a bit too risky?" Tianjing still found it hard to believe. If what Ye Shikai said was true, then this organization was gambling with their lives.

"To find out the truth, we’ll have to see for ourselves. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

"Wait, are we just going to barge in?" Tianjing quickly stopped him, worried about alerting the enemy. With Ye Shikai’s special identity, the people behind the scenes might recognize him.

"Don’t worry, I have a way. You stay in the car," Ye Shikai pulled out the Netherworld King’s Helmet, becoming completely invisible. This was a treasure of the Netherworld Palace, and although it couldn’t aid in combat, it was more useful than the Netherworld Blade at crucial moments.

Ye Shikai donned the Netherworld King’s Helmet but dared not be too "reckless." He carefully observed that these security guards were nothing special, not cultivators, just some physically strong common folk. There were many workers from out of town in the area, these security guards are likely from that pool; it doesn’t mean much, but the key lies inside the factory.

Ye Shikai easily jumped onto a truck. With the cover of the Netherworld King’s Helmet, even if he sat openly in the passenger seat, the driver wouldn’t notice.

"These seem to be some chemical materials," Ye Shikai noted, looking at the "large canisters" in the truck bed, with symbols he didn’t understand on them, but the smell was indeed pungent.
