Chapter 243 Exposed
Meanwhile, Thor, clad in silver armor, led Heimdall through the barriers of the Underworld and into Sin City.
"let's start."
"Okay, my lord."
Upon hearing Thor's command, Heimdall slowly closed his eyes, and then a faint golden divine power rose up and gradually gathered in his eyes.
When those eyes opened again, their golden pupils shone with wisdom, revealing the most sophisticated methods of concealment.
"how?"
"My lord, let's search forward slowly. The buildings in Sin City are too dense. Even the Eye of Truth cannot see through the walls that possess the power of laws."
"Okay, then let's search more thoroughly."
Thor nodded, signaling Heimdall to lead the way.
As the nominal heir to Asgard, Thor has never entered the City of Sin, hidden beneath the abyss.
If it weren't for Li Jie's appearance, he probably would never have stepped into the Netherworld City-State beneath the barrier in his entire life.
Not only does the netherworld law of his sister, Hela, the goddess of death, remain here, but there are also countless foreign souls.
I really don't know how Loki survived in such an environment.
Hela was severely injured in the war of the gods and is currently in a deep sleep.
Therefore, Loki is, to date, the nominal king of the Underworld.
Pulling his thoughts back, Thor continued to focus his attention on the muddy streets.
Tap.... Tap.... Tap....
Since entering the Underworld, Thor and his companion have walked through countless identical city blocks.
Thor, who was naturally not very good at directions, asked in bewilderment.
"Are we just going in circles?"
"Sir, although these street scenes look similar, there are still some differences."
“We should have already ruled out one-third of the locations.”
Only one-third?
Thor estimated that they had been walking for about four or five hours.
At their pace, they should have already covered most of the human circle, but in this city of sin, they had only covered a third of it.
Judging from this, the Netherworld City-State might be much larger than the Divine Realm.
"Let's continue the investigation..."
"Yes."
As the two walked deeper into the alley, Loki, dressed in a sharp suit, emerged from the shadows.
He looked at the two figures cautiously ahead and murmured in confusion.
"Why did they both come down...? Was it on Father's orders?"
"No... I need to speed up the search."
"But why haven't we heard from that old guy? Could it be... that Li Jie is hiding with me?"
Within those two minutes, Loki considered many possibilities, but since he couldn't verify the veracity of these speculations, he chose the safest approach.
Pulling himself back to reality, Loki made a hand seal, and a teleportation array emitting a green glow slowly formed beneath his feet.
A deep, hoarse voice emanated from the teleportation array.
"My master, king of the Netherworld City, what are your instructions?"
“Summon the ghost army, find the sinners still alive in the Netherworld City-State, and bring them to me.”
"Follow your orders."
After speaking, the green magic circle suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a hurricane suddenly raged in the previously peaceful and serene Netherworld City-State. Countless strange and bizarre spirits emerged from the houses on both sides of the street and began to wander in a very orderly manner through the alleyways.
Loki's instructions were simple. After all, this was the underworld of Asgard, and besides himself, the Dwarf King, and those two idiots who had just come in, Li Jie was the only living person.
After eliminating them all, the ghost army will select the best result for him.
Although Heimdall possesses the Eye of Truth, he is alone and cannot match the speed of the vast army of ghosts.
He can simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Li Jie...where are you?
.........
Inside the low house, Li Jie was hidden in the void, leaning against the damp wall and panting heavily.
God knows what he just went through.
During those four hours, the excruciating pain emanating from my dantian never ceased.
Fortunately, his Qi Sea was relatively stable, and the soul imprints of the two immortal swords, Zhuxian and Juexian, protected him, which prevented his Qi Sea from collapsing.
"Ok?"
After sensing that his breathing was gradually stabilizing, Li Jie focused his mind on his inner vision and asked Xiao Jue, who looked exhausted.
"Alright, the soul imprint of the Immortal-Trapping Sword is complete. Next, we need to awaken Hong's consciousness in the Sword-Nourishing Gourd."
"Do you need to take a break?"
Looking at Xiao Jue's pale face, Li Jie frowned and asked softly.
"It's alright, you can recover in the sword-nurturing gourd just the same way."
"I just extracted some of the world's origin power that the Immortal-Slaying Sword had suppressed, so I don't need to go back to my Qi Sea to continue suppressing those violent auras for a while."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie stopped insisting and returned to the sword-nurturing gourd with the two immortal swords.
After the fusion of the Immortal-Trapping Sword was completed, Li Jie also felt that a subtle connection had been established between himself and Hong, who was dressed in red.
When he saw the graceful figure lying on the beach, he could also sense the id hidden deep in her mind.
It seems......
Xiao Jue's choice was correct.
"Rainbow, wake up..."
"it's me......"
Xiao Jue knelt beside Hong, took the latter's pale left hand, and called out softly.
Li Jie did not stop them, but simply stood a short distance away and watched quietly.
Just then, he felt a chill run down his spine, and he had a vague feeling that he was being watched.
Could it be... that we've been discovered?
Thinking of this, Li Jie didn't dare to delay. After briefly explaining to Xiao Jue, he returned his mind to his body.
When he opened his eyes, the scene before him instantly made his scalp tingle.
Just as he and Xiao Jue were trying to awaken the Immortal-Trapping Sword Linghong inside the Sword-Nourishing Gourd.
His body had been lifted up by a group of strange, densely packed spirits, and he was currently in the City of Sin in the Netherworld City-State.
As if things weren't bad enough, when he looked down to check, he discovered that his body was now covered in dozens of tiny blue lightning bolts.
This is bad!
He instinctively mobilized his internal energy and used his fingers to form a sword to dispel the surrounding spirits, just as he was about to make his escape.
A silver short hammer, imbued with overwhelming divine power, shot precisely towards his body from afar.
"Let's see where you run this time!"
