Fear!

Compared to those who had died, Peng Ru and the others from the Profound Moon Sword Sect, as well as the Liang siblings, were truly scared out of their wits.

Even though they previously knew Wang Junze was strong, being strong to this extent was simply terrifying.

Just one sword!

Over ten experts, including even experts of the Void Shattering stage, were slaughtered in an instant like this. Is this something achievable by someone in the Heaven-Stepping Realm?

At this moment, everyone doubted if Wang Junze had hidden his true aura, suspecting he might actually be at the Divine Travel or even Entering the Path level.

Yet... the aura revealed in the recent battle couldn't deceive anyone. It was indeed just the Qi of the Heaven-Stepping Realm.

This was even more frightening!

For a moment, looking at the corpses all over the ground, no one dared to speak, and even their breathing seemed much quieter.

"What are you standing around for? Go and search the bodies!"

With a glance at a few people, Wang Junze chided them irritably.

As he spoke, he didn't even have the interest to take another look and went straight back into the carriage.

Although that sword just now had an outstanding effect, it also almost exhausted all his strength. He must rest and recover his True Qi quickly; otherwise, if he encounters danger again, he would really only be able to wait for death.

With Wang Junze's instructions, everyone, including Peng Ru, hurriedly got off the carriage to search the bodies. It wasn't long before they gathered all the valuable items from the opponents.

No one dared to hide even a single Spirit Stone. Everything was presented to Wang Junze.

He merely glanced at Peng Ru and then lightly instructed, "Why give it to me? You keep it first. Didn't you say you're about to break through to the Refining Spirit stage? Use these resources to cultivate."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, Peng Ru felt a surge of excitement in her heart and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

Waving his hand, Wang Junze continued, "Alright, keep massaging my leg, and don't disturb my cultivation if there's nothing urgent."

"Yes!"

Sitting obediently beside Wang Junze, Peng Ru resumed diligently massaging him.

The carriage started moving again.

Not long after Wang Junze and the others left, some people followed the aura and arrived, only to be equally shocked into pallor by the scene of carnage.

There was more than one group eyeing Wang Junze earlier; it was just that others didn't act in time.

Now seeing the miserable state of these people, who would dare to continue following?

Nevertheless, the news of this battle quickly spread throughout the Nether Sea.

Ye Piaoling, this unfamiliar name, seemed to truly enter the Nether Sea with this battle.

...

Time passed silently, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had gone by.

Wang Junze wasn't hurrying intentionally, yet after walking for half a month, he unknowingly entered the boundaries of the Nether Sea.

Lifting the carriage curtain, the city before him came into view.

This was a city far more prosperous and larger than Jubei City. The majesty hit you in the face even without entering; the characters on the city wall for Netherworld exuded a profound aura, impacting everyone coming to the Nether Sea.

These simple two characters seemed to contain the breath of the Great Path.

This feeling, Wang Junze only experienced once when he saw the characters Yi Sword in the ruins.

Of course, compared to the characters left by Ye Piaoling, the aura of the Netherworld characters on the city now was much weaker, yet even so, it was incredibly fearsome.

At least ordinary Saints would definitely not be able to write these characters.

No wonder even the Saints of the Judgment Department dared not easily enter the Nether Sea. Upon arriving here, one could truly feel that pressure.

"Let's enter the city!"

Putting down the curtain and collecting his emotions, Wang Junze calmly instructed.

When the carriage reached the city gate, it was stopped once again.

"All cultivators must pay a hundred Spirit Stones to enter the city!"

The soldier guarding the city said in a deep voice.

The cultivation of these soldiers wasn't high; many were only at the Opening Veins stage. However, Wang Junze noticed that everyone entering obediently paid the Spirit Stones, so he naturally did not refuse and had Peng Ru pay.

After entering the city, Wang Junze looked out through the curtain. All he saw were vendors shouting to sell their goods, and the streets were bustling with people. Such prosperity was far beyond that of Jubei City, and if one didn't know better, it would be hard to associate this place with the infamous Nether Sea.

However, Wang Junze soon saw a dispute at a nearby stall, making him truly realize the biggest difference between here and a normal city.

"For a bag of snacks, you dare to charge one Spirit Stone? Are you crazy?"

"That's always been my price here. If you find it expensive, you don't have to buy it. But since you've opened it, you have to buy it!"

"Heh, I've traveled to many places, yet it's my first time being threatened by an ordinary person!"

The speaker was obviously a cultivator and was instantly enraged by the vendor's threat, drawing a cold blade from his waist, pointing it straight at the vendor. He sneered, "Come on, say one more word, and I'll chop your head off."

"Ha, an outsider, aren't you? You think you're the only one who can be tough? Go on, chop me. If you don't, you're my grandson!"

The vendor was clearly just an ordinary person, yet he showed no fear and even disdainfully taunted, "You haven't even bothered to check that every vendor in Netherworld City is protected by the Netherworld Mansion. If you kill me, the fine is a thousand Spirit Stones! My life may be cheap, but it's worth a thousand Spirit Stones. My entire family will be well-off, are you scared?"

"Come on, if you don't chop me, I'll look down on you!"

"???"

The vendor's arrogant attitude made the cultivator hesitate. He really was new to the city and didn't know the rules.

But with his cultivation only at the Condensing Realm, he certainly couldn't afford a thousand Spirit Stones.

"Haha, young man, I advise you to pay up honestly. If you really kill someone and can't pay the fine, the Netherworld Mansion will take your life as compensation. Want to test it out?"

A bystander ridiculed with a smile.

Looking at the patrolling soldiers not far away, the cultivator's face turned crimson, but he ultimately didn't dare to act. He obediently paid the Spirit Stone and walked away dejectedly, leaving behind the mocking laughter of the crowd.

"These rules... are really interesting!"

After witnessing this scene, the corners of Wang Junze's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

Originally, he was puzzled as to how Netherworld City appeared so prosperous and orderly. Little did he know there were such peculiar rules.

He had heard of similar rules in Yunxiao City, and as expected, these rules were even stricter in the Nether Sea.

Insight can be gleaned from this.

This shows that in Netherworld City, doing anything might be confined by such rules. Those with great power and no lack of Spirit Stones can still do as they please, but it is absolutely enough to restrain ordinary Demon Cultivators.

These rules might seem inhumane, but judging life by Spirit Stones indeed maintains the order in Netherworld City effectively. It's truly exceedingly interesting.
