Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The backyard of the inn.

Lin Bai watched the shopkeeper walk into the house and disappear.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Bai felt the spiritual power of the magic circle fluctuating in the house. This magic circle felt familiar to Lin Bai, and it was almost exactly the same as the atmosphere of the dark world magic circle in Gongling City.

Only then did Lin Bai confirm that this place was really the entrance to the dark world.

After waiting patiently for a while, the shopkeeper left and returned.

"There's news."

"Ten thousand purple gold."

After the shopkeeper came out, he smiled and said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai silently took out ten thousand purple gold from his storage bag and slapped it on the stone table.

After the shopkeeper came over and took inventory, he slowly said: "What the guest asked for is related to the treasure of the Underworld Demon Bones left by the Nine Nether Demon Palace in Purple Star City."

"In the past, the Nine Nether Demon Palace stretched across the eastern region of the Demon Realm. It was once one of the most powerful demonic paths in the Demon Realm."

"Later on, all the prosperous sects in the Eastern Region couldn't bear to see the lives of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in ruins, so they started to rise up one after another."

"That battle ended with the defeat of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"And Purple Star City was once one of the branches of the Nine Nether Demon Palace established in Chu Kingdom."

"In the legend, after the defeat of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, many strong men fled with the treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"One of them was a strong man from the Nine Nether Demon Palace who took away the Underworld Demon Bones and fled to Purple Star City."

"But this is just a rumor. No one can be sure whether the Underworld Demonic Bones are really in Purple Star City."

"..."

"Over the years, batch after batch of warriors have come to Purple Star City to search for traces of the Underworld Demon Bones."

"But after countless years, no one has found out whether the Underworld Demonic Bones are in Purple Star City."

"..."

"In the dark world, I got a lot of news about the Underworld Demonic Bones in Purple Star City."

"Among them, there are two places that are likely to be the burial places of the bones of the Underworld Demon."

"First, the warehouse of the Purple Star City government office."

"Legend has it that the official office of Purple Star City was the secret base of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, and the warehouse of the official office was the warehouse of the Jiuyou Demon Palace."

"Ever since the State of Chu wiped out the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, it has occupied the warehouse."

"There have always been rumors that there is an unbreakable magic circle in the warehouse. The reason why Chu State occupied the warehouse was to secretly break this magic circle."

"Second, the misty swamp outside the city."

"Leaving Purple Star City and heading east, a million miles away, there is a forest swamp shrouded in fog all year round."

"It contains a natural magic circle. Even if the Taiyi Dao Fruit enters it, it will lose its way if you are not careful."

"After the defeat of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, many remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace fled to the misty swamp to avoid being hunted. After they fled in, few people could come out."

"So there is a rumor that... after the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace fled to Purple Star City, they went straight to the Misty Swamp."

"If the strong man with the Underworld Demonic Bones also escapes into the foggy swamp, then there is a high probability that he will die in the foggy swamp."

The shopkeeper spoke in a deep voice, informing Lin Bai of the news about the dark world.

Lin Bai listened carefully and did not miss a word.

The shopkeeper said: "According to the information compiled by the Dark World, the probability of the Underworld Demonic Bones being in the misty swamp is much higher than that of being in the government warehouse."

"The above is the news that the dark world can tell."

Although the information provided by the Dark World points to the final direction of the disappearance of the Underworld Demonic Bones.

But at least it pointed out a direction for Lin Bai.

"Thank you."

Lin Bai cupped his fist and saluted gratefully.

The shopkeeper nodded slightly, indicating that Lin Bai could leave.

Lin Bai turned around and walked out of the backyard, followed by the shopkeeper.

After leaving the backyard, a flattering smile immediately appeared on the shopkeeper's cold and serious face.

The shopkeeper's expression in the store was completely different from his expression in the backyard.

"Master, you have peanuts and old wine. They will be delivered to your room right away."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded, walked up the stairs without saying a word, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

The shopkeeper continued to be busy in the store as if nothing happened.

…

Back in the room, Lin Bai ate peanuts, drank old wine, and thought about his next action plan.

"Misty swamp and government warehouse..."

After thinking about it, Lin Bai felt that the news about the dark world made sense.

The probability of mist swamp is indeed much higher than that of government warehouse.

If the Underworld Demonic Bones were in the government warehouse, it would be easy to break through a magic circle with the strength of the Chu State.

The Underworld Demon Bones should have been obtained by Chu State long ago.

The misty swamp is shrouded in heavy fog all year round. The geographical environment is harsh and the natural magic circle isolates everything. Even Taiyi Daoguo will get lost if not careful.

After the defeat of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, many of the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in Chu State fled into the misty swamp.

After they entered, most died inside.

Then there is very likely a place in the misty swamp that is used by the Nine Nether Demon Palace as a treasure hiding place.

Another day later, Lin Bai went out to buy a detailed map around Purple Star City.

He also bought many books about Chu State and Purple Star City, and read them carefully after returning to the inn.

Three days later, Lin Bai was ready to leave Purple Star City and head towards the Misty Swamp.

Leaving Purple Star City and heading east, about a million miles away, you can see a swamp where the fog never clears.

No one knows when this swamp appeared, and no one knows how many years it has existed.

All I know is that there are warriors buried one after another in this swamp.

Many warriors who had committed serious crimes in Chu and had nowhere to go would flee into the misty swamp if they had no choice.

There are also many warriors who want to enter the misty swamp to hunt for treasures, but eventually die in it.

In short, many people enter the misty swamp, but very few people can come out.

Uh-huh!

The flying sword flashed across the sky, and at noon, Lin Bai arrived outside the misty swamp.

The swamp is shrouded in heavy fog all year round, and you can only vaguely see the outlines of mountains in the fog.

Even if Lin Bai opened his Shura Dharma Eyes, he would not be able to see through the scene in the fog.

"We can only go in and take a look."

Lin Bai paced back and forth around the misty swamp, thinking for a long time, and decided to venture inside to find out.

After all, we have already reached this point. If we don't go inside to find out, wouldn't it be in vain?

Lin Bai used his cultivation to protect his physical body and took the detoxification pill first. Then Lin Bai walked towards the fog.

The heavy fog surged, like a demon opening its bloody mouth and swallowing Lin Bai into the fog.

After taking a few steps, Lin Bai found that the path he came from behind had completely disappeared.

Lin Bai wanted to turn around and walk back, but he gradually got lost in the heavy fog.

In the fog, there were strange bird calls from time to time.

In this dead and peaceful place, a bird song suddenly came, which was really scary.

Taking courage, Lin Bai continued to walk forward, sinking deeper and deeper into the fog.
