Chapter 134 Journey in the Hell Part 1

Inside the Hell,

‘So, this is hell, huh? It doesn’t seem much different from the Devil’s Zone. No…. Devil Zone doesn’t have a dark red sky.’ Zhang Pu raised his head and saw the dark red sky.

Even the clouds were either dark or red. He was surprised but not shocked. The ground beneath him was just like earth but instead of being brown or filled with grass, it was black and it wasn’t plain.

The black ground was like a cluster of small crystals that formed the ground.

“So, where am I? If I am not wrong, the place that I should be teleported to must be near Ghost Queen. At least, that’s what it’s supposed to be. Maybe if I could find the Hell creatures, I can learn more.”

Zhang Pu muttered and walked forward. He was wearing a black robe that covered his body. Unlike his middle-aged appearance, he looked a bit like a youngster.

As he walked forward, he noticed two strange creatures. These creatures had bat-like appearances and a horn coming out of their head. But they had humanoid figures combined with their bat-like appearance.

They were also the size of average humans.

‘Those must be Imp. Rather different than what I imagined. I thought they would be smaller.’

“Huh! What is a human doing in our place?” One of them noticed Zhang Pu and asked with confusion. He scratched his head and walked toward Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu noticed him and he was already prepared to attack when that Imp suddenly asked.

“What is a human like you doing in our territory?”

Hearing his words, Zhang Pu paused for a moment and asked “Why do you assume I am a human? Is it because of my appearance?”

“No! Your aura! Every creature of hell has a unique aura that differentiates them from those who don’t live in hell. You don’t have that aura.”

Imp instantly released his crimson energy to condense a spear and pointed at him.

“I will ask you. Why are you here?”

Zhang Pu noticed his eyes and suddenly triggered his bloodline. At this moment, a different aura flowed inside his vein. When the aura leaked out of his body, the Imp in front of him and the other Imp who was still far felt an intense pressure.

Thud! Thud!

“R-r-r-royal highness….. Please forgive me for my impudence!”

‘So, it does work. Supreme Devil was known to be the ancestor of every creature of Hell. Even Devils were the creatures of Hell. It was him who led them out of the Hell going against Heaven’s Will.’

Zhang Pu thought for a moment and removed his aura.

“Alright, you can stand up. I have something to ask you.”

Imp slowly stood up but he was still shaking. He looked at Zhang Pu with fear in his eyes.

‘No wonder he didn’t release his aura… Just by walking, he can suppress everyone around him. Gulp! Mom, you are correct. Even if we are the creatures known for war and blood, we mustn’t initiate a fight.’

Unfortunately, Zhang Pu was unaware of his thoughts. He asked.

“What is the name of this place?”

“Royal Highness, this is Lesser Ground where Imp and Ghost live. We are currently outside the city.” Imp didn’t even take a second of hesitation to reply. He didn’t care why he was asking. He only cares that he might not be able to answer some questions.

‘Hmmm! So, it did work. I am near the Ghost Clan, meaning Ghost Queen must also be here. But, why can’t I sense her? I even burrowed a part of Wu Lin’s powers to sense other queens. Is she not here?’

‘I should go inside. I won’t learn anything if I just stay here.’ Zhang Pu thought to himself and said.

“Alright, you take me to the city.”

Imp nodded his head and made the hand movement to his friend. The other Imp quickly arrived and kneeled in front of him.

“You don’t have to kneel in front of me. Anyway, you two will be my guide for quite some time so I will call you Imp A and Imp B for now. Now, lead me to the city.” Zhang Pu spoke.

Imp A and Imp B felt a little offensive but didn’t dare to show any rejections on their faces. They quickly led him toward the city.

“Imp A, you previously said that what a human like me is doing here. What exactly do you mean by that? Are there other humans living in this place?” Zhang Pu asked.

Imp A nodded and explained “Several Ten Thousand Years Ago, a man came to Hell and ruled over us. Although he was a human, he didn’t try to kill us all. My mother told me that he was a swordsman with an extraordinary power but for some reason, he didn’t kill us but rather became our protector.”

“If I am not wrong, Supreme Devil was the King of Hell, right? Even though he shouldn’t be here, why didn’t he oppose the human?” Zhang Pu asked.

Imp A suddenly got terrified and seeing his expression, Zhang Pu chuckled and said “Don’t worry if you don’t know I don’t do anything to you. I have no reasons to take action against you.”

Imp A slowly calmed down but before he could say anything. Imp B spoke.

“Royal Highness, I am not sure if this is a true or just a rumor but it was aid that our Ancestor’s Will couldn’t defeat him. And, he was also recognized by the Hell for some reason despite being a human.”

Hearing his words, Zhang Pu put his hand on his chin and asked “So, after that, did other humans come here as well?”

“Yes, Royal Highness! Our world is connected to Tiandao Continent. In that continent, there is a sect called Heavenly Sword Sect which was established by that man. So, humans from that continent often come here to train. I heard all of them are top-class geniuses.” Imp A nodded and answered.

‘Hmmm….. Tiandao Continent! If my information isn’t wrong then it should be the continent of Higher Realm where cultivation limitation is no longer at Nascent Soul Realm.’

‘Heavenly Sword Sect huh? This is getting more interesting.’ Slowly, Zhang Pu’s expression distorted as a massive killing intent erupted. Imp A and Imp B were so terrified that they were shaking and fell to their knees.

‘I will destroy that sect. I will kill all of their geniuses.’

But Zhang Pu quickly took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.

‘Right now, I need to eliminate the geniuses from Yan Continent. I can’t focus on another continent right now.’

Zhang Pu moved his hand, pointing them to stand up. Imp A and Imp B continued to lead him but just when they were getting closer to the giant gate, several figures passed next to them.

Zhang Pu instantly turned around when the first figure passed through him. He didn’t notice it even though he saw her running towards him. He thought it was just a girl chased by some killers.

He had no intention of interfering but when she reached next to him, his Quarterly Awakened Supreme Devil’s Bloodline tingled. In an instant, the energy that he got from Wu Lin shook as well.

It didn’t take him more than two seconds to make a decision.

Whoosh!

He instantly chased after them leaving Imp A and Imp B in shock. His speed was so fast that he quickly caught up to them. Seeing him running toward them, the men chasing the girl looked back.

One of them turned at another and asked. All of them looked different than Imp. They had humanoid bodies but they were wearing black robes and masks that covered their appearance.

“It seems like he wants to play the hero. Kill him!”

Another nodded and stopped. In less than a second, others had already reached several meters ahead. He turned around as he caught the dagger in his hand.

Splash!

But suddenly, a bloody spear pierced his neck before even he could react. It didn’t stop there. The blood spear absorbed the blood of that killer while Zhang Pu let go of that spear and continued to move forward.

A few seconds later, the blood spear dashed toward him, and just when it reached him, Zhang Pu jumped and landed on the shaft of the spear.

Whoosh!

The blood spear instantly increased speed, leading him in front of the girl. When he appeared in front of her, the girl instantly punched forward but Zhang Pu easily caught her hand.

He stared at her face and for a moment, he was stunned. She seemed to have lost one of her eyes. There was a big cut on her cheek and her face was covered in blood and bruises.

Zhang Pu instantly pulled her into his arms and rotated his spear. He faced those men in black clothes and looked at the girl.

“I am not a hero so I can’t leave a good impression on you. So, I will be frank here.”

“Be my wife and I will keep you safe.”
