Before long, at the entrance to the Ninefold Deathlands, news spread quickly among the numerous noble families.

The Witch Ghost Family had offended a powerful figure and was besieged by several super families from the Nether City, and even their patriarch, , had been captured. Once this news got out, every family was stunned — just who was this powerful figure, capable of commanding so many super families to act on their behalf?

In addition, it was said that these super families were also hunting the , wanting to round them up just like the Witch Ghost Family, but the Dark Guild had seemingly vanished into thin air and couldn't be found at all. The Demigod powerhouses among the super families had no choice but to give up the search. However, the Dark Guild had been placed on the most wanted list.

The first level of the Ninefold Deathlands.

was walking with and when the Feather Flame Goddess flew over and landed on Nie Li's shoulder.

"Sister Feather Flame, where did you go earlier?" Nie Li glanced at the goddess on his shoulder and asked.

A trace of melancholy flickered across the Feather Flame Goddess's brow. "The Ninefold Deathlands was once a battlefield between the Demon Beasts and humanity. There are many remains of my people here. I followed their residual energy to find them and gave them proper burial."

Hearing the Feather Flame Goddess's words, both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er showed a hint of sorrow.

"But I also found this." The Feather Flame Goddess seemed not to want their moods to be dampened, so she quickly composed herself and produced an ancient-looking mirror. "I found this."

"What is it?" Ye Ziyun asked, puzzled.

Xiao Ning'er's gaze also fell curiously upon the mirror.

"So it's actually this…" Nie Li's eyebrows lifted slightly, a hint of shock in his voice. He hadn't expected that a single outing by the Feather Flame Goddess would yield something this incredible.

"Looks like Nie Li knows what it is. This is a . It can absorb a person's soul and keep it from dissipating for years," the Feather Flame Goddess explained.

The Feather Flame Goddess wasn't wrong, but that was only one of the Soul Mirror's many functions. It had numerous other uses, though some of them could only be activated upon reaching the Heavenly Fate realm.

"I have no use for this myself. You keep it." The Feather Flame Goddess handed the Soul Mirror to Nie Li.

Nie Li nodded. Even the Feather Flame Goddess didn't know the Soul Mirror's true capabilities. Really, only he could unlock all of its functions. After accepting the mirror, Nie Li took the red pearl that had obtained from killing the Corpse Dragon and pressed it into Ning'er's hands.

Ning'er's lovely face flushed slightly. She glanced up at Nie Li, then quietly tucked the red pearl away. It was a gift from Nie Li!

If Xiao Yu had been present and knew what Ning'er was thinking, he probably would have been so frustrated he'd vomit blood. It was clearly a gift from Xiao Yu, yet in Ning'er's heart it had become a gift from Nie Li.

"Let's go find and the others!" Nie Li said with a smile, and the group of four set off together.

Somewhere outside the Ninefold Deathlands.

A group of people had gathered around a young man in his twenties. The young man had an oval face that should have been strikingly handsome, but his complexion was unnaturally pale, and his pupils were laced with bloodshot veins, sending a chill down the spine of anyone who looked at him.

An aura of cold yin energy radiated from his entire being, as if the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped by several degrees.

Standing beside him were two figures — none other than and , who had previously launched a surprise attack on the .

", what do we do now? Those super families from the Nether City are not something we can handle!" Long Sha said with some worry.

A flash of killing intent passed through the young man's eyes. "I didn't expect them to actually have some capability, managing to mobilize several super families from the Nether City. Even the Witch Ghost Family was suppressed."

"My Lord Demon, you mean… all of this was done by someone from the City of Radiance?"

"It must have been that boy who set up the Myriad Demon Spirit Formation," the Demon Lord said with a faint smile at the corner of his lips. "That actually interests me. I'd like to have a proper meeting with him at some point. He'll probably go participate in the selection for the Nether Domain Overlord's disciple, and there's a very high chance he'll be chosen."

"So the Demon Lord also intends to attend the selection — you mean…" Long Sha's eyes lit up as he understood.

"Of course I'll attend the selection. If I pass, I'll be able to enter the Feather God Sect. The bodies I've found before were all too inferior. This body, however, is a supreme physique that appears only once in ten million years — and without even cultivating the power of the Heavenly Dao, it's already about to condense its Fate Star. If the Nether Domain Overlord knows quality, he will certainly take me in," the Demon Lord said with a cold laugh. "I refuse to believe that the body that man found could surpass my supreme physique!"

"No matter what that person's body is like, it absolutely cannot compare to your supreme physique, Demon Lord!" Long Sha said respectfully, and Gui Sha nodded in agreement from the side.

"While I'm away, the two of you should go into hiding for now. There's no need to appear publicly. Even joining other families temporarily would be fine," the Demon Lord said calmly.
