253: Goodbye Yan Yan

The Pluto King was the same now.

Although he knew these people were here to snatch the Netherworld Power, he didn't say much.

If his strength was insufficient and he couldn't protect the Netherworld Divine Pool, he couldn't blame others.

At this moment, the Pluto King stood with his arms crossed on a tall tower deep within the city; the gloomy land behind him was the Netherworld Divine Pool.

The Netherworld Divine Pool had already begun to emit a faint light; it looked like it would fully open in less than a day.

Looking at the experts surrounding the city, he didn't show much expression, only a light of intense confidence in his eyes.

Back when he led his generals to attack the Hall of the Death God, he was only at the Divine Venerable Realm. After thousands of years, he had not only unified the various forces of the Netherworld but also made a qualitative leap in strength.

After unifying the major forces, the Pluto King began to Cultivate with all his might, attempting to become stronger, because no matter how many subordinates one had, it wasn't as practical as improving one's own strength.

However, his years of Cultivation and neglect had caused those originally weak forces in the Netherworld to spring up and grow like bamboo shoots after rain.

This was why a large number of forces in the Netherworld had come to crusade against the Pluto Hall today.

But it didn't matter. In other places, he might be worried, but this was the Netherworld, his home ground.

Unless someone could annihilate the entire Netherworld, it would be difficult for him to dissipate, simply because he had Cultivated a special secret technique that allowed him to transform into the world and merge with the Netherworld.

It was because he could exist alongside the heavens that the Death God was defeated back then.

And annihilating the Netherworld was extremely difficult; this space was not only massive but also very special, seemingly connected to some even larger space that even God Emperor Experts could not annihilate.

Among the current outside experts, the strongest was only at the God Emperor Realm. The Pluto King had also reached this level, so those people couldn't possibly be his match.

supreme rank Netherworld Power was a treasure even for those in the God King Realm, but the Netherworld Divine Pool would only erupt for one day, so this bit of power wouldn't be much to them.

The main reason was that they didn't want to fight a major war with the Ghost Race's higher-ups for just this much power; it wasn't worth it. If there really were a super god-tier treasure chest, those experts would surely come to risk their lives.

Without a God King expert, the Pluto King feared no one in the Netherworld.

He also wanted to use this opportunity to reorganize the Netherworld; otherwise, having not shown his power for too long, the major forces would have forgotten his majesty... Outside the Netherworld Divine City, Xiao Xing's arrival didn't attract much attention from those experts; everyone just glanced at him and didn't look further.

The ultimate treasure hadn't appeared yet, and the experts weren't stupid. There was no need to consume strength at this time; they would only act when it was time to fight for the treasure.

Xiao Xing observed for a while. The defenses inside and outside the Underworld City were very strict, with all sorts of demons and ghosts on standby.

The Pluto King had arranged all this to block experts below the God Emperor Realm; only God Emperor Experts were qualified to snatch the Netherworld Power.

There were only nine God Emperors from outside the city; the rest were some God Sovereigns and a large number of forces from the Netherworld.

These forces not only intended to fight for the Netherworld Power but also planned to take this opportunity to overthrow the Pluto King's rule.

No force didn't want to become stronger. Not to mention that the Pluto Hall had suppressed everyone for years, the resources and treasures it controlled alone were enough to drive many into a frenzy.

This was also a good opportunity for many forces to turn their fortunes around; if they missed it, who knew how long they would have to wait.

Now, more than half of the Netherworld's forces had surrounded the Underworld City so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through, and Yan Yan's forces were among them.

After several updates, although she hadn't grown up, her strength had reached the Divine Lord Realm. As a special Divine Lord, she could already go head-to-head with ordinary God Sovereign experts, and her temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change.

Behind her were many Divine Venerable-level skeletons, as well as a large number of Divine-Grades. At the very back was a legion of ten million demigods, their Aura appearing surging and powerful.

The Skeleton Territory had more than just this number, but in a battle of this level, bringing those low-level skeletons would be meaningless.

Just as Yan Yan was staring toward the city, waiting in full battle array, she seemed to sense something and inadvertently turned her head to look into the distance.

At first glance, she saw that light blue pupil. Although there was only one, this eye was all too familiar, because she herself possessed the Eye of Death.

"Brother Jian Chen?"

Yan Yan's originally serious face instantly turned into a look of shock, and an exclamation couldn't help but escape her small mouth.

She hadn't expected Xiao Xing to come here; after all, this wasn't the Human Race's territory.

If one wasn't an expert from the Netherworld, even outside Divine-Grade experts wouldn't dare to step foot in the Underworld City easily, otherwise, they could easily be overwhelmed by the Netherworld's countless ghosts and monsters.

She had also thought about going to see Xiao Xing, but he hadn't summoned Skeleton Ji for a long time. Additionally, with her increased strength, going to the Human Race meant she might be killed by super experts.

It was mainly because she spent most of her time Cultivating to become stronger, or else she would easily be swallowed up by other forces; that was why she hadn't visited Xiao Xing in the human world for so long.

"Yan Yan, I said I would come to the Netherworld to see you."

Before Yan Yan could fly out, Xiao Xing had already arrived in front of her and picked her up.

This little girl was even smaller than Three-Year-Old Cute; he only saw her as a child.

Although they hadn't had much contact, he had some history with this little girl, so the impression in his heart was quite deep.

Looking at the stunned Yan Yan in his arms, Xiao Xing reached out and stroked her head, his expression somewhat sentimental.

Back then, Yan Yan had helped find the demon person, allowing him to complete his task. Although Xiao Xing had become stronger now, he still needed her help.

He was very grateful to Yan Yan; he would help her more during this meeting, as he now had sufficient strength.

"Brother Jian Chen, did you come specifically to see Yan Yan?"

After being affectionate for a while, Yan Yan raised her head, showing watery eyes.

However, she quickly snapped out of it and began to struggle bashfully.

She remembered that a large number of her subordinates were watching from behind. As a leader with supreme majesty, how could she act like this in front of them?

"Yan Yan, Brother Jian Chen came specifically to see you. Handling other matters is just secondary."

Xiao Xing tightened his arms, holding her firmly in his embrace.

After his strength had increased tremendously, he didn't care much about others' opinions, let alone a group of skeletons.

Of course, he had no other intentions. In his eyes, Yan Yan was just a little girl, no matter how strong she was.

"Brother Jian Chen, you..."

Seeing Xiao Xing holding her tightly and hearing that he came specifically to see her, Yan Yan's expression instantly became extremely bashful.

She had actually grown up; it was just that her appearance hadn't changed. Her mindset was like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

She also wanted to grow up, but with only a Soul and no physical body, her appearance would always be like this.

Unless she could absorb high-level power and let her Soul undergo a qualitative sublimation, her appearance would not change.

And this eruption of the Netherworld Divine Pool would produce high-level Netherworld Power. If she could absorb it, she could be reborn and become a truly powerful expert.
