As noon approached the next day, Liu Chengfeng, Chen Hu, and Su Yue were chatting in the village, but they hadn't seen Li Ye and the others come out for a long time. Chen Hu curiously asked Liu Chengfeng, "Brother Liu, why do you think Master and the others are still sleeping? It's so late already."
Su Yue glanced at Chen Hu disdainfully and said, "What do you know? Less talking, and no one will think you're mute."
Chen Hu scratched his head and muttered, "Is it wrong to ask?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled gracefully and replied, "Brother Li's family is very affectionate. They must have had quite an intense night last night and are likely exhausted. It's normal for them to sleep a bit longer."
Chen Hu's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Intense night? Did they have another fight? How come I didn't know about it!"
Su Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Of course you wouldn't know."
While they were chatting idly, Shen Jiuniang hurriedly walked out of the room. Liu Chengfeng greeted her with a smile and asked, "Have Brother Li and the others woken up?"
Shen Jiuniang wiped the sweat from her face and gasped for breath as she replied, "The master and the two mistresses haven't slept at all; they just finished. I'm going to get water for the master to bathe."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng was momentarily stunned, filled with admiration. He stood there dumbfounded for a long time, thinking to himself, "Brother Li is indeed a hero with boundless energy; I truly admire him!"
Su Yue covered her mouth and chuckled at Liu Chengfeng's expression, finding it amusing. Chen Hu still didn't understand what was going on and leaned over to ask Su Yue, "What do you mean by 'finished'? Did Master and Master’s wife get into a fight?"
Su Yue helplessly patted Chen Hu on the head and said, "You silly boy, you'll understand when you 'grow up.'"
Chen Hu looked confused as he scratched his head. Seeing everyone laughing happily only added to his bewilderment. He asked in puzzlement, "Am I not big enough at nearly two meters tall? How much bigger do I need to be? Master isn't even taller than me, nor is he older."
Liu Chengfeng thought to himself, "Not only is Brother Li skilled in martial arts, but he also excels in this aspect; it's truly admirable!"
After Shen Jiuniang brought back the water and returned to the room, nearly an hour passed before Li Ye emerged with Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen. The three looked radiant with satisfied smiles on their faces. Liu Chengfeng quickly stepped forward respectfully and said, "Brother Li, you've worked hard!"
Li Ye laughed heartily and replied, "It's nothing tiring; it's actually me who kept you waiting."
Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen blushed as they softly said, "Young Master, let's go."
Li Ye looked at his companions with a heart full of strength and confidence. Chen Hu and Shen Jiuniang set up the meal prepared by Su Yue while Chen Hu and Liu Chengfeng helped out. As they ate, they studied the map that Li Ye had drawn.
Su Yue looked up at the map and curiously asked, "Will there be strong beasts in the Nameless Secret Realm?"
Zhiruo replied softly, "There should be quite a few dangers, but there will also be many opportunities."
Yan Yuchen nodded in agreement, "That's right. The treasures and resources in secret realms are often very precious. We must be well prepared."
Chen Hu grinned, "As long as Master is here, I'm not afraid of any beasts!"
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, "Brother Li, we all believe in you. This trip to the secret realm will surely yield results."
Li Ye chuckled, "Let's all work hard together. When we encounter difficulties, we'll face them together."
Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, a group of elegantly dressed people approached their ghost village from a distance. At the forefront was a eunuch, followed by a team of soldiers, clearly representatives of the royal family. The eunuch held a decree and walked towards Li Ye's group, asking, "Who is Li Ye?"
Li Ye raised his head, squinting his eyes, and coldly said to the eunuch, "I am Li Ye. What do you want?"
The eunuch took out the decree and said solemnly, "Li Ye, receive the decree."
Li Ye stood up with a grin and looked at the eunuch, saying, "I won't accept it! What can you do about it?"
The eunuch was clearly unaccustomed to such situations and was momentarily speechless, stammering, "You... you... you."
Li Ye impatiently said, "What about me? I won't accept it! You have a city lord and a city guard general who have both been killed by me. I don't believe you came all this way just to say nice things! If you want to kill or fight, come at me; I could take down all of you. Why should I accept your worthless decree?"
The eunuch shook his head in anger and said, "You are disrespecting the decree! Enough! The emperor has also said not to expect you to kneel to receive it; just listen."
He unfolded the decree and read aloud: "By the grace of heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Li Ye is a young hero who has slain the traitorous general Gao Zhendong of Qingyang City. This is indeed a merit for the court. Li Ye has also killed Mo Tianxing of Maplewood City; although it was in self-defense, it still shows an invincible stance. I am aware of this and will not pursue further. Therefore, I hereby appoint Li Ye as the lord of Qingyang City and grant him a squad of city guards. I hope you will serve loyally and restore prosperity to Qingyang City. Thus decreed!"
Li Ye sneered, "What game is the court playing? But this reward does sound quite tempting."
Yan Yuchen softly said, "Young Master, this is indeed an opportunity. The identity of the lord of Qingyang City can allow us to develop better."
Zhiruo nodded, "Yes, with the support of the city guards, we have a foundation in Qingyang City."
Su Yue agreed, "That's right, this way we can also have a stable base."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright, I will accept this reward. But you tell the emperor that I, Li Ye, am not doing this for him, but to rebuild Qingyang City."
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully said, "Lord Li is wise. I will report to the emperor as it is."
Li Ye waved his hand, "Enough, take your people and get out of here. You're just an eyesore."
The eunuch hurriedly nodded and said, "I will have the city guards in Qingyang City wait for you, Lord Li." With that, the eunuch hurriedly left with his entourage.
Li Ye turned to everyone and said, "Let's first explore the secret realm to enhance our strength. When we return, we will take over Qingyang City."
Everyone responded in unison, filled with confidence as they continued discussing preparations for their journey into the secret realm. Meanwhile, Li Ye was already calculating how to use this opportunity to make himself and his companions stronger.
After finishing their meal, they checked their gear. Liu Fei and Specter had sustained injuries in yesterday's battle; one had a large hole in his abdomen while the other was missing an arm. Li Ye used the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique to heal both zombies, quickly restoring them to their original state. The only thing left was their tattered clothing, but since they were zombies, a few rips didn't matter; he couldn't be bothered to change them. After planning their route, they set off. The two zombies led the way while the group followed behind.
They traveled in silence until they reached the entrance of the secret realm.
The entrance was located deep within an ancient forest, surrounded by towering trees with dense foliage that nearly blocked out the sun. A faint path led into a misty area. Two massive stone pillars stood at the entrance, covered in ancient runes that emitted a mysterious glow. Between the pillars was a faint shimmering barrier on which four ancient characters appeared: "Netherworld Paradise."
