After seeing Selena Yale, Serena Dream, and the other women, Ryan Ouyang looked at Evan Chu in confusion and asked, "Are all of them from your Frostbane Sect?"
"They're all the mistresses of Frostbane Sect, since they're all my women. Pretty impressive, right?" Evan Chu grinned. Hearing this, Ryan Ouyang felt as if he'd been struck by lightning—he was so stunned he couldn't speak for a long while.
"Lin Feng, who is this guy? Why is his gaze so sleazy? He's not one of your friends, is he?" Lynne Nie couldn't help but speak up at this moment.
Ryan Ouyang hadn't expected to come off as such a shameless guy, and his face instantly burned with embarrassment. He quickly explained, "Don't get the wrong idea—I'm just shocked to see so many beauties at once. That's all."
"Heh, Ryan, looks like your strength has improved quite a bit. Fourth layer of the Saint Martial Realm—not bad at all," Roxanne Lin commented.
Ryan turned to look and realized it was the goddess he once admired. "You're Roxanne Lin? How are you here? Don't tell me you two are already married?"
"Heh, so you know each other, Roxanne. Looks like this guy still can't get you out of his mind. Tell him your son can already run around—let's see how he reacts when he hears that!" Selena Yale deliberately teased, her voice loud enough for everyone around to hear.
Roxanne was about to protest that she didn't have a son, but quickly realized—Dream's son was, in a way, her son too. Dylan Chu always called her "Aunt" since she was Evan's first woman, so she'd always treated him like her own child.
Ryan had still been holding onto a last bit of hope about Roxanne, but now it was completely shattered. Time to wake up from that dream. "Lin Feng, I admit defeat. When are we heading out? I can't wait any longer."
"This is your first time at my Frostbane Sect, so of course I have to show some hospitality. Let's set out tomorrow—tonight, we drink!" Evan Chu said to Ryan Ouyang.
Just then, the Savage Earth Dragon walked over, glanced at Evan Chu, and asked, "Boss, I want to come along too—what do you think?"
"You stay behind and guard the sect. If you left too, I'd really worry. There's plenty to eat and drink here, so what's there to be afraid of? Once I'm back, I'll take you somewhere you really ought to go." Evan Chu replied. He'd told the Savage Earth Dragon to call him 'Boss' ever since they returned.
"Who is that? He looks really strong, and he's calling you Boss—guess you really are something else!" Ryan Ouyang praised Evan Chu again.
"Heh, you'd better not mess with him. That's not someone you can afford to provoke. He's already broken through to the eighth layer of the Saint Martial Realm. In the whole Azure Tide Ruins, there aren't more than three people who could beat him. Of course, I'm one of them—otherwise, he wouldn't have submitted to me." Evan Chu chuckled.
Ryan Ouyang's heart was in turmoil. He already knew Evan Chu was freakishly strong, but he hadn't expected this level of monstrousness. Comparing himself to Evan was enough to make anyone cough blood.
Next, Evan Chu had someone summon the Freewind Palace Lord, Sacred Sword Sect Master, Bloodfiend Hall Master, the Soaring Feather Young Lord, and other core allies. Who knew when they'd all get to drink together again?
At the banquet, Evan Chu introduced Ryan Ouyang to everyone. They were all surprised that someone so young had already reached the fourth layer of the Saint Martial Realm. Still, Evan kept his true identity secret to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Of course, the Soaring Feather Young Lord and Ryan Ouyang quickly hit it off. Both had been 'suppressed' by Evan Chu before and shared a silent, mutual sense of resentment and unwillingness to accept it.
After several rounds of wine, Evan Chu led Roxanne Lin, the Soaring Feather Young Lord, and Ryan Ouyang into a vast underground chamber. The three of them were shocked by how spacious the secret room was.
Evan Chu said, "Originally, I planned to enter the Netherworld alone, but I've changed my mind—we four must go in together. I hope you'll all follow my lead along the way."
"Lin Feng, I'm so happy to be entering the Netherworld with you! What made you change your mind?" Roxanne Lin said joyfully.
"The Netherworld is way scarier than we can imagine. There's no Stellar Power to absorb there, so we have to bring plenty of Starstones. In the Netherworld, Saint Martial experts are everywhere—it's easy for them to break through thanks to the Netherghost Violet Orchid. Everyone needs to be careful.
Absolutely do not get into conflicts with them. I bet there are even plenty of Revered Martial Realm experts in the Netherworld. Let's hope we don't run into any—otherwise, I don't even dare imagine the consequences," Evan Chu said solemnly.
"You make it sound so scary, but you've never been there either, right? We'll see when we get there. What I want to know now is, how do we open the Netherworld entrance at the Divine Battlefield? And do you know exactly where it is?" the Soaring Feather Young Lord asked.
Evan Chu really didn't know the exact location of the Netherworld entrance. But the Demon Lord and Fire Dragon King probably did—he just needed to ask them. As for the Divine Battlefield, Evan knew all about it, thanks to the Invisible Scroll Venerable Solus gave him.
It's just past the Sacred Sword Sect, atop Cloudcrest Mountain. But the scroll says Cloudcrest Mountain is extremely dangerous, and that's a bit strange. You'd think the Sacred Sword Sect would know all about it, but no one's ever mentioned the danger before.
Still, Evan Chu trusted Venerable Solus's scroll. Maybe there's some ferocious beast or deadly force atop Cloudcrest Mountain, just like in the Divine Battlefield.
Thinking of this, Evan Chu said to the three, "To enter the Divine Battlefield, we first have to cross Cloudcrest Mountain. It's shrouded in clouds and mist all year, and rumor has it the place is incredibly dangerous—so everyone, be careful."
"I've never heard of any entrance to the Divine Battlefield on Cloudcrest Mountain. Who told you about it?" the Soaring Feather Young Lord asked.
"We'll find out when we get there. For now, let's all get some rest—tomorrow morning, we set out. May everyone's strength soar on this journey!" Evan Chu said.
Ryan Ouyang and the Soaring Feather Young Lord left the secret chamber, while Roxanne Lin and Evan Chu stayed behind. With no one to disturb them, the rare chance to be alone naturally led to some very interesting activities.
Everything happened in tacit understanding. Roxanne Lin quickly shed her shyness—and her clothes. Evan Chu wasn't slow to follow. With no interruptions, what happened next in that secret chamber was pure, joyful moaning—the most primal exercise played out once again...
