Chapter 39 - Nether Realm

A change appeared on the status screen.

Tatsuya

Incomplete Soul King Bloodline - Poison Resistance 67%

After Tatsuya accepted, he felt another weight lifted from his shoulder.

"Tatsuya-ge?" Miyuki looked at him with worried eyes. She saw the system screen. She didn't understand why did he make such a decision.

Tatsuya kissed her forehead, "Miyuki! Thank you for supporting me."

Miyuki smiled sweetly and put her head on his shoulder while snuggling to him, "I will always be there with you."

"Can you two stay away from each other for a minute?" Shen Xiu glanced at them.

Miyuki gracefully pulled away with a smile on her face, "You are right everyone is watching."

Tatsuya held her hand, "We don't need to hide it anymore. Rather, why were we even hiding it?"

Miyuki looked at him with surprise, "I...!"

Tatsuya looked deeply into her eyes, "We don't need to hide it."

Miyuki's fingers interlocked with his, "Tatsuya!"

'Cough' When both of them looked over Ye Mo was standing there rubbing his beard.

Seeing him, all three of them stood up,

"Grandfather!!"

"Grandpa!!"

"Lord Ye Mo!!"

"Hoh!! Finally, you decided to man up." Ye Mo smiled while looking at Miyuki and Tatsuya.

Miyuki blushed hearing that. Tatsuya's expression didn't change, "You knew?"

Ye Mo looked proud, "Kid, I am also a Legend Rank. Of course, I knew."

"Grandfather, Have a seat."

After they took the seat, Tatsuya glanced at the arena where fights of the first round were going.

Miyuki smiled, "Grandpa, how did you come here?"

Ye Mo looked at them, "Everyone saw you two, they were talking about it. I also came to see you."

Miyuki had a shy, happy smile on her face.

Ye Mo who looked at her smiled then he looked at Tatsuya strangely, "Kid, there are talks about you and that winged dragon's family's girl and then, there is this girl of the sacred family. Now there are talks about you and Miyuki."

Shen Xiu turned her face away, "I am just acting."

Miyuki's smile crammed. She held Tatsuya's hand, "How are we going to tell Ning'Er?"

"We will tell her together."

Ye Mo smiled looking at this, then his face turned serious, "Kid, you are pressuring the Dark Guild like this, will you be able to handle it?"

Tatsuya's expression didn't change, "You already know right? The place where their headquarters is? You know about the dark guild more than you let on."

Shen Xiu hastily looked towards Ye Mo. She didn't think Tatsuya would say something like this. Even she didn't know about the Dark Guild's headquarters.

Miyuki also looked towards Ye Mo as if waiting for his answer.

Ye Mo glanced at Tatsuya, "Hoh!! what made you think that?"

"Because whatever we are doing, you are not interfering. As if you know everything. You are secure because you know the Dark Guild's limit. You are confident that you can handle things. So, you must know everything like about their leader, their headquarters?"

Ye Mo narrowed his eyes, "You are right. I know."

"Is the leader as strong as you?" Tatsuya glanced at him.

Ye Mo shook his head, "No."

Tatsuya nodded, "Is that settlement that strong?"

Ye Mo sighed, "Really at times like this. It makes me think I should marry Ziyun to you."

Shen Xiu stood up, "Wait!! where did a settlement come from?"

Miyuki held her hand, "Sit down! we have a lot of eyes on us."

Tatsuya glanced at her, "If the leader is not strong enough, then the only reason grandfather would hold back would be he doesn't want to attract the attention. That could only mean the Dark Guild's base is in a place where even he can't act freely. A strong settlement, in a most likely case drawing its attention, would bring a big disaster to Glory City."

Ye Mo nodded, "You are right. That place is called the Nether Realm."

"Nether Realm!!!" Suddenly they heard Yu Yan's voice.

Miyuki looked at her curiously, "You know Nether Realm?"

"In this world, aside from the human clan and the demon beast clan, there are many other clans with many experts among their ranks. Some of the experts also wield the power of law. Both the demon beast clans and we human clan's Spiritual Gods are a little afraid of them."

"They claim land and become the king of it, forming several forbidden places. This Nether Realm is one of the three forbidden places. The master of the Nether Realm is an expert that has comprehended the Law of the Nether. Up till today, we still have no idea which clan he belongs to. In any case, he doesn't belong to the demon beast clan nor the human clan. Even the Primal Chaos Spiritual God wouldn't be able to do anything to the expert that comprehended the Law of Nether." Yu Yan shook her head and said, "Fortunately, these clans stand on the neutral side. As long as you don't poke their interests, they will not take any action."

Tatsuya nodded while looking at a distance, "Glory City itself is a big interest."

Ye Mo laughed, "Yes! Glory City itself is a big interest. If they know about it many would try to take it from us."

Miyuki gazed at him, "How strong are they."

Ye Mo sighed as if lost in thought, "There are a total of fifteen cities in the Nether Realm, each with a mixture of the twelve different tribes that live underground. Blackrock city alone has more than 10 demigods and there is Nether City which is even above that in terms of powers. The only reason we haven't been found is that people there think nothing can survive on the surface."

Hearing such big information Shen Xiu was completely shocked. She didn't think Dark Guild's base was in such a place.

Miyuki had a worried look on her face, "Tatsuya, can we even make Glory City strong enough to stand against such a colossus existence?"

Tatsuya shook his head, "No, we don't have that much time."

Ye Mo reassured them, "Don't worry, Dark Guild isn't that strong. They want to eat this fat, that is why they have been keeping Glory Citys existence secret for 200 years."

Tatsuya looked towards Nie Li who was currently fighting in the 2nd Round. He knew if he was Space-Time Gods arrangement then, Glory City's existence might not remain secret for long.

Miyuki as if understood his worries tightened her grip on his hand.

He let out a breath, "I would have been worried if it was before. Now we have Yu Yan. As long as her injuries restore, we could buy us some time. I also have something else planned. If that succeeds, then we can have much more time."

Yu Yan nodded, "Don't worry, I am restoring very fast. Now that my understanding of the Law of Fire is increasing it is also speeding up reforming fast."

Ye Mo smiled, "Haha, yes with Lady Yu Yan we wouldn't have to worry about so much." then he became serious again, "But, it is hard to kill Demon Lord."

Miyuki got curious, "Why?"

Ye Mo sighed, "He practices Spiritual Constellation Technique. A particularly sinister technique that allows an expert to be reborn in a new body. To use the technique many children must be sacrificed. Demon Lord has been able to live so long because of that. Even if we kill him he will just revive at a later date."

Yu Yan's face was filled with anger, "How could someone use children to extend their lives. Don't let me see him or I will kill him."

Tatsuya had a slight smile on his face, "Don't worry, Demon Lord's luck is really bad."

Ye Mo looked at his smiling face, "Do you have a way?"

Tatsuya nodded, "You could say I am the nemesis of this reincarnator."

Ye Mo looked at him, "Kid, killing Demon Lord might not be good for us."

"I know, killing him will lead to the dissolution of the dark guild. At the end of the day, Glory City's existence might come out."

Ye Mo nodded at him with approval, "Good! You understand."

"It's not like I am going to kill him now. I am just going to beat him up so he backs off a little. He had kept this a secret for so many years. A beating won't make him give up on that and tell others. It will just make him more patient. There is something more pressing than that."

Shen Xiu who was quite asked in an annoyed voice, "Is all this not pressing enough?" She felt like her family was played like a fool. They have been thinking that it was some small guild whom they could get rid of once they are done but, after hearing all this information. She realized that her whole family might be nothing more than a pawn.

Tatsuya glanced at her, "Your Family." He and Miyuki needed to complete 3rd main mission.
