Chapter 1903 Reward
Master Bai and Ouyang Feng shuttled through the fleeing crowd and hurried toward the Southern Region.
As the explosion occurred, Qian Guimo swiftly scanned the crowd with his spiritual sense, searching for Master Bai. However, there were too many people, and it was too difficult for him to find Master Bai in a short amount of time.
When Qian Guimo knew it again, Master Bai and Ouyang Feng had already disappeared from the place.
"Stop!"
Qian Guimo shouted as his aura surged. However, the crowd didn't care. Many people also took this opportunity to escape with their lives.
Qian Guimo's expression darkened. He was about to slaughter a chicken to frighten a monkey, but the black-robed man beside him suddenly intervened.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure engulfed the entire space. Those who were running felt as if thousands of mountains were pressing down on their heads. No matter how hard they tried to move, they couldn't summon the strength to overcome the frightening pressure.
"Go back to the line." The black-robed man spoke calmly. His voice immediately sent shivers down everyone's spine.
In the end, those who were unable to escape reluctantly returned to the line.
"Sir, many people have escaped. Can you grant me permission to pursue them?" Qian Guimo asked respectfully.
"No." The black-robed man responded nonchalantly. "Move."
Qian Guimo's heart sank. As much as he was unwilling to let Master Bai go, he had no choice but to obey.
Qian Guimo glanced in the direction where Master Bai and Ouyang Feng had escaped, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He was eager to kill them for ruining his plan.
After leaving the caravan, Master Bai and Ouyang Feng continued running toward the Southern Region.
Ouyang Feng glanced back from time to time and didn't see anyone following them. He laughed joyfully. "You are right, Brother Bai. They don't chase us."
Master Bai was not surprised by it. He had gambled and won beautifully this time.
"Don't be complacent. They certainly have numerous methods to track us down." Master Bai said calmly.
"I know." Ouyang Feng responded with a serious expression.
Master Bai looked at the endless, desolate land ahead and said. "We will continue running for another two hours and find a place to rest. We should be able to reach the border in a week."
"Mhm!" Ouyang Feng nodded heavily.
He hesitated for a moment and asked. "Can you tell me now, Brother Bai? Why are we going there?"
Master Bai remained silent for a while before explaining. "The current situation should be triggered by someone I know. If it's truly him, we can leave the Netherworld without issues."
"Someone you know?" Ouyang Feng was shocked. What kind of person was this to cause such a commotion? How strong was he?
"You will see him soon." Even though Master Bai said he wasn't sure, his tone suggested otherwise. Clearly, he was confident in his assumption.
Ouyang Feng turned to look at the pillar of black light in the far distance. He couldn't wait to see the person who could stir the Netherworld.

The caravan gradually arrived at a huge city. "Fengdu." If Yun Lintian were here, he would immediately recognize that Fengdu City was identical to the Fengdu Ghost City in Chinese mythology.
The crowd gazed in awe at the majestic city. They could sense a terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere emanating from this place. However, they could also see that the environment here was several times better than the camp areas. Living in this city would undoubtedly bring them significant benefits.
"When you enter the city, you must not go anywhere else, understand?" Qian Guimo said loudly.
The crowd fell silent, waiting to enter the city.
The black-robed man glanced at Qian Guimo and said. "Take them to the palace."
"Yes." Qian Guimo responded solemnly.
Except for the commotion caused by Master Bai, everything was going well according to his plan. He took a risk to show off his face from time to time. It made the black-robed man recognize him and gave him this opportunity.
"Follow me, everyone." Qian Guimo waved his hand to the crowd and led them into the city.
Along the way, everyone's mood continued to fluctuate as they saw the city's various magnificent buildings. They had already fantasized about living here.
However, there were many people in the crowd who didn't believe they would have a chance to live here in peace. There must be something behind this. As they approached the palace, their hearts were filled with regret that they had failed to escape earlier.
Soon, the crowd gradually arrived in front of a colossal immortal palace.
Qian Guimo stepped to the side and said. "When you go in, there will be people taking care of you. After completing the task they assigned you, you will be free."
The crowd became excited once again. They stretched their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the gate ahead as if they couldn't wait to go in.
Clang!
The iron gate slowly opened, and everyone could feel a rich spiritual aura inside the palace.
"Go." Qian Guimo said with a smile.
The crowd swiftly advanced and entered the palace in succession.
"AHHHHH!!"
A few seconds later, pitiful screams resounded from inside, causing the people outside to stop in their tracks.
"What happened?" Everyone panicked upon hearing this. They immediately realized that something bad had happened.
Qian Guimo smiled coldly. He fell to his knees and spoke respectfully. "My lord, I have already brought them here."
Before anyone could fully grasp the situation, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, pulling everyone into the palace.
All the million-odd people were sucked into the palace in one fell swoop, followed by frightening screams.
Bang!
The gate immediately shut with a bang, and everything returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.
Qian Guimo continued to kneel silently on the ground.
A moment later, a majestic male voice echoed through the air.
"You did a good job. I'll grant you one wish."
Qian Guimo was delighted and quickly said. "Thank you for your compliment, my lord. I have no other wish than to serve you. Please grant me your blessing."
"Someone will take care of you."
The majestic voice resounded once more.
"Thank you, my lord!" Qian Guimo responded loudly.
At this moment, the black robed man walked over and looked at Qian Guimo. "Congratulations. Your scheme has finally paid off."
Qian Guimo got up from the ground and smiled. "Thank you, sir."
