Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 527 - 531: Return to Netherworld City Again

Chapter 527: Chapter 531: Return to Netherworld City Again

Fight to the end!

Pei Haoran pondered for almost half an hour, finally clenched his teeth, and agreed decisively.

In his bones, Pei Haoran was inherently a gambler. From the very beginning when he dared to set traps and ambush those at the Netherworld Auction, this was already evident.

Every time he followed Wang Junze on adventures, it was always a fight with his life on the line.

The most crucial part is, every time they won!

This time, although the risk was greater, the reward was equally tempting, leaving him with no reason to refuse.

After making the decision, Pei Haoran didn’t linger on Mirage Island and immediately rushed back to Netherworld City to arrange for the Four Seas Commerce Association to prepare.

After waiting several hours, Peng Ru also woke up.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Upon waking, Peng Ru saw Wang Junze and directly knelt, tears welling in her eyes. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Her Divine Soul was within the Li Shang Sword, so Peng Ru was aware of everything, which only made her feelings for Wang Junze all the more sincere.

"I should be the one thanking you. Without you, I would have died long ago."

Helping Peng Ru up, Wang Junze replied softly.

If Peng Ru hadn’t blocked that strike from the Cyan Robe Demon Venerable for him, it would have been Wang Junze who died. Others only saw the heavy price he paid to save Peng Ru, not understanding that it was Peng Ru’s loyalty that earned such unreserved trust from Wang Junze.

"Alright, enough of that!"

Waving his hand, Wang Junze’s gaze fell on the others as he softly instructed, "The time is about right, we should return to Netherworld City."

During these hours, Wang Junze wasn’t just waiting for Peng Ru to wake up; he was also waiting for Pei Haoran to get everything ready.

"Let’s move out!"

...

Netherworld City!

"Awoooo!"

The sound of a Dragon’s Roar echoed through Netherworld City as Wang Junze and Peng Ru stood on the back of the Mirage Dragon, flying directly into the city!

Instantly, the whole of Netherworld City was in shock.

Previously, Night Spirit Demon Venerable had forbidden creatures of the Demon Race from entering the city, but now someone was riding a Demon Dragon into the city, causing just as much shock and impact.

More importantly, besides the Mirage Dragon, there were also Yang Hong, the Maiden of the Sea, and Huang Siyu riding alongside, entering the city with them. This lineup was remarkably powerful, even for Netherworld City.

"Ye Piaoling, it’s Ye Piaoling!"

When Wang Junze caused such a stir in the Nether Sea previously, he became quite famous. Now, with him re-entering the city, many people immediately recognized his identity.

Of course, only a few knew that Ye Piaoling and Wang Junze were one and the same.

In the eyes of these Demon Cultivators, Wang Junze’s return was seen as an attempt to seize power. After all, if Night Spirit Demon Venerable was truly dead, Netherworld Mansion could no longer control Netherworld City, making Ye Piaoling’s power struggle understandable.

"Ye Piaoling, you dare return, arrest him!"

The reaction from Netherworld Mansion was swift. In just a moment, soldiers from Netherworld Mansion rushed over and shouted angrily at Wang Junze.

"Night Spirit Demon Venerable is dead, the Nether Sea is in chaos. Mr. Ye has returned to take over Netherworld City. Anyone who obstructs... will be mercilessly killed!"

With a hint of icy killing intent in his eyes, Wang Junze spoke coldly.

As soon as his voice fell, Yang Hong took action. The Daluo Demon Hand was unleashed, forming a gigantic black demonic hand in mid-air. With a gentle squeeze, dozens of soldiers from Netherworld Mansion were crushed into a bloody mist, their Divine Souls drawn out and absorbed into a tattered Demon Banner.

Though the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was broken, its original material remained. Yang Hong could still use it as a foundation to reforge the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. This massacre in Netherworld City was a convenient way to refine the souls for the banner.

To the residents of Netherworld City, Yang Hong’s methods, though ruthless, were somewhat reassuring.

It’s because Yang Hong himself was a Demon Cultivator, and such Demon Path techniques weren’t uncommon in the Nether Sea. To them, it seemed an internal struggle, one that wouldn’t affect them regardless of who won.

After all, it wasn’t up to them to take over Netherworld Mansion or the city, whether Night Spirit Demon Venerable was dead or not.

Wang Junze aimed for this exact perception, which is why he continued to use the name Ye Piaoling instead of Wang Junze.

"The Four Seas Commerce Association welcomes Young Master Ye into the city!"

Meanwhile, the arrangements Pei Haoran made also took effect. In no time, people from the Four Seas Commerce Association came forward, rallying the crowd to shout.

In recent days, the Four Seas Commerce Association had also gained significant renown in Netherworld City. While they couldn’t replace the Netherworld Auction, they had maintained amicable relations with various factions in the city and had become a major force in Netherworld City.

Now openly supporting Wang Junze’s entrance into the city was enough to sway the attitudes of some Demon Cultivators.

"Roar!"

Emitting another roar, the Mirage Dragon carried Wang Junze as they continued flying toward Netherworld Mansion.

As a result, most Demon Cultivators in the city shifted their focus to whether Night Spirit Demon Venerable was truly dead, instead of Wang Junze’s actual identity or whether he would target other Demon Cultivators.

For many years, it was the first time anyone dared to directly challenge the authority of Netherworld Mansion.

Unknowingly, the Demon Cultivators in Netherworld City were already divided.

Moments later, Wang Junze broke into Netherworld Mansion.

Boom!

Almost upon entering Netherworld Mansion, the Grand Array was triggered.

Being the heart of Netherworld City, Netherworld Mansion always had protective measures, even though the Grand Array wasn’t often activated. Under normal circumstances, no one dared to cause trouble at Netherworld Mansion.

With Night Spirit Demon Venerable absent, and Situ Haokong, the nominal Commander of Netherworld Mansion, also away, there were still plenty of experts within the mansion.

Faced with such a situation, they weren’t sure what transpired in the Nether Sea, so they dared not act rashly, focusing instead on maintaining stability.

After news from the Four Seas Commerce Association about Night Spirit Demon Venerable’s fall, Netherworld Mansion’s experts swiftly ordered a retreat of their forces, gathering all experts within the mansion.

Though outsiders didn’t know, those within Netherworld Mansion were certain that Night Spirit Demon Venerable wasn’t dead.

As long as they could hold Netherworld Mansion until Night Spirit Demon Venerable returned, they would achieve great merit, and the chaotic rumors in the city would dispel naturally upon his return!

But no one expected Wang Junze to truly dare lead an assault on Netherworld Mansion.

After Wang Junze forced his way in, it stirred a killing intent among those at Netherworld Mansion, directly activating the Grand Array with the intent to kill Wang Junze and his group, also using it as a threat against the opportunistic Demon Cultivators in the city eager to take advantage!
