Xu Wendong, who had just bonded with a Netherworld Beast chick, is summoned urgently by Elder Bai of the Heavenly Nether Sect. Despite Zhao Ying'er's hopes for more time together, they, along with Huang Huntuo, must depart immediately for the sect. The Lin family sees Xu Wendong off with gifts and expectations as he boards a flying boat.

Along the way, the flying boat cut through the sky like a black lightning.

The speed of the flying boat was incredibly fast; although the distance between the Heavenly Nether Sect and Lin Family was vast, under its swift flight, it could be reached in just one day.

Soon, the flying boat pierced through the clouds.

Xu Wendong finally saw the grand and magnificent architectural complex below. Situated in a valley, the area was surrounded by a circle of scorching red lava.

The lava churned and rolled like furious giant beasts, emitting a chilling aura.

The scene appeared exceptionally savage, lacking the harmony and tranquility expected of an Immortal Sect.

Xu Wendong was slightly startled, showing a look of surprise.

But quickly, he realized this was the Netherworld.

Major powers in the Netherworld usually established sects in places rich with Yin energy.

Though extremely hot, the lava region was rich in Yin energy, making it an excellent cultivation site for cultivators.

"We’re here." Elder Bai’s voice was as calm as water, without a hint of fluctuation.

Then, he led the three to fly and land in front of a grand hall inside the valley.

"Zhao Ying’er and Huang Huntuo, you two go first to report to your respective masters."

"Lin Mo, you come with me; I have other plans for you." Elder Bai glanced at the three one after another, instructing them methodically.

Upon hearing this, Huang Huntuo felt relieved, eager to leave immediately.

He also harbored important information he was anxious to divulge to his master.

He knew that Xu Wendong possessed fifth-grade Divine Power Techniques, treasures that would greatly enhance his cultivation level if acquired.

Zhao Ying’er seemed somewhat reluctant as she looked tenderly at Xu Wendong, her eyes filled with helplessness and longing.

Ultimately, she sighed and turned to leave.

"Elder, where am I going?" Xu Wendong asked politely, wearing a smile.

Elder Bai did not answer, instead quietly leading him to a small courtyard.

In the Heavenly Nether Sect, ordinary disciples shared a courtyard with three others, while Xu Wendong had one all to himself.

For a simple reason, he was about to participate in a life-threatening trial.

The Heavenly Nether Sect provided some preferential treatment to disciples facing death.

"Tomorrow, I’ll come to get you and take you to a trial." Standing at the courtyard gate, Elder Bai looked coldly at Xu Wendong: "Kid, if you make it out alive, wealth and glory will be yours."

"But if you die, you’ll end up with nothing."

Having said that, Elder Bai turned expressionlessly and left, leaving Xu Wendong standing alone.

Watching Elder Bai’s departing figure, Xu Wendong felt excited about tomorrow’s relic excursion.

After all, it might contain information on the Three-Life Stone, which was his purpose for coming to the Netherworld.

Regardless of the impending danger, he was determined to take on the challenge.

Moreover, he possessed a lifesaving item gifted by Lin Yin, giving him a bit more confidence.

Having just settled into the courtyard, Xu Wendong hadn’t had the chance to rest before hearing urgent knocking from outside.

Soon, a loud voice shouted: "Inside, come out quickly!"

Frowning at the words, Xu Wendong felt displeased.

Tomorrow, he had a trial to attend; was someone here to cause trouble?

If someone dared provoke him, he certainly wouldn’t hold back!

Thinking this.

Xu Wendong stood up and walked toward the courtyard gate.

Before he reached the entrance, the gate was kicked open.

A group of disciples clad in white streamed in, all appearing young and emanating the aura of the Soul Transformation Realm.

"Are you the new one from the Lin Family?" The leader, a burly man, sized up Xu Wendong disdainfully with cold eyes, then smirked condescendingly: "Not impressive at all."

After speaking, he reached out maliciously: "Kid, since you’re dying tomorrow and are new here, hand over your valuables!"

Laughter erupted among the accompanying disciples, faces showing mockery.

To them, Xu Wendong was facing imminent death, so his possessions were better seized now rather than waste them.

"Oh? You’re here to rob me?" Xu Wendong squinted.

"Don’t make it sound so harsh." The burly man sneered, revealing a sly grin: "I’m Bai Gushan, the Bai Family’s fourth young master."

"Hand over your valuables today, and perhaps I’ll send them back to the Lin Family out of generosity."

"That way, if you die, you won’t have to worry afterward. I’m helping you."

Bai Gushan finished, a proud smile gracing his face as if he had done a great deed.

"No need, young master here won’t die, nor do you deserve anything of mine." Xu Wendong’s lips curved into a meaningful smile: "You all should hand over your valuables instead."

Xu Wendong’s unexpected move was truly surprising, seemingly defying Heavenly Gang.

Used to pillaging newcomers in the Heavenly Nether Sect unchallenged, Bai Gushan and his gang had never faced such strong resistance.

Nor did they expect this newcomer not to comply but to turn the tables.

This was unheard of in the Heavenly Nether Sect, and the scene fell into brief silence.

The Heavenly Nether Sect disciples froze, eyes bulging like copper bells, pupils constricting dramatically, their faces showing disbelief.

They exchanged looks, seemingly doubting their ears.

"Did I hear incorrectly?"

"He seems to want us to hand over our belongings."

"Is he threatening us?"

After whispering among themselves, they suddenly burst into laughter.

Within the Heavenly Nether Sect, the custom of preying on newcomers was long-standing.

In the Netherworld, strength equated to authority; whoever had the harder fists wielded the truth.

Clearly, they felt this newcomer didn’t understand the rules here.

Bai Gushan smirked coldly, a disdainful glint in his eyes. "Kid, you won’t think replacing Lin Dong, gaining trial eligibility, means we won’t mess with you?"

He spoke, Yin energy surging, revealing his cultivation level—the Ninth Level of the Soul Transformation Realm.

His gaze carried pride.

As if declaring that his realm disqualified him from trial participation, so eliminating Xu Wendong wouldn’t send him to the trial.

This was his boldness in attempting to rob Xu Wendong.

"Oh? A decent cultivation level. I am looking for someone to test my strength; how about you?" Xu Wendong grinned widely, eyes charging with fearless momentum.

"Arrogant!"

Bai Gushan’s gaze was icy; accustomed to dominance in the Heavenly Nether Sect, he had never seen such a brazen newcomer.

His wrath ignited instantly; a gust of Yin wind rose, and the surrounding air seemed frozen by the chill.

He suddenly extended his hand, viciously slapping toward Xu Wendong.

Soul power coiling around his palm, emitting fearsome Yin energy, the sinister aura seeming to seize one’s mind.

In that strike, Bai Gushan spared no effort.

In his view, this kid faced certain death in tomorrow’s trial, so sending him on his way early was a simple task.
