Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 425: Netherfire City, Reunion with Ling Wuzi

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Netherfire City, Reunion with Ling Wuzi

The so-called silence was silence in the truest sense of the word. The previous howls of ghosts had vanished, as if the world had entered a state of deathly stillness.

Chen Lan didn’t turn back, for he couldn’t turn back; he could only move forward.

"No pressure, nothing at all, is this the Bridge of No Return?" Chen Lan thought as he walked, finding nothing strange.

"Lan Er."

Just as he took a step, a familiar yet long-lost voice sounded behind him, causing Chen Lan’s body to tremble violently. It was his mother’s voice!

"Son, it’s Dad. Won’t you turn around and take a look at me?"

And there was his father’s voice too!

Chen Lan stood still. He wanted to turn around, but he knew that what was behind him was an illusion. His parents had been dead for a long time; it couldn’t be them; it was trying to trick him into turning back!

Clenching his fists, filled with rage, it was rage towards Ye Tianhai, the man who had caused the death of his foster parents.

Hearing the pleading voices of his parents, Chen Lan gritted his teeth, tears rolling down his cheeks, "Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I will avenge you. I will make the Ye Family die for this!"

"Lan Er, don’t you want your mother? Turn around and look at me, save me, I’m in so much pain!"

"Child, Dad is in so much pain, hurry and save me."

His father, stabbed multiple times, lay on the ground barely clinging to life, calling out to Chen Lan for help, and his mother lay on a sick bed, pale-faced, asking for help, just wishing for Chen Lan to turn around.

Hearing the anguished sounds of his parents, Chen Lan resolutely walked forward. He knew turning back would accomplish nothing. Only by moving forward, reaching the Ye Family, could he avenge his parents.

It was Ye Tianhai who used a secret technique causing his parents’ death tribulation to come early; otherwise, they wouldn’t have died so soon!

It was unclear how long he had walked; the voices behind him slowly faded, and a voice familiar to Chen Lan emerged again.

"Ye Lan, aren’t you wanting to kill me? Turn around and kill me."

It was Ye Tianhai’s voice!

As soon as the voice came out, Chen Lan instantly clenched his fists, eager to turn around and slay Ye Tianhai, but he knew this was an illusion, not the real Ye Tianhai.

"Ye Tianhai, one day, I will reach the Ye Family and make them die one by one before your eyes!" Chen Lan muttered coldly, continuing to walk.

"Heh, Ye Lan, are you afraid to turn back? I killed your foster parents, and you don’t even dare to turn back to kill me?" Ye Tianhai continued to taunt, but Chen Lan remained indifferent.

Before long, Ye Tianhai’s voice vanished, and before Chen Lan appeared Yang Jian, his strongest enemy yet.

"Ye Lan, last time wasn’t enough, come again this time!"

Chen Lan ignored this entirely, walking straightforward, passing through Yang Jian as he disintegrated to dust.

Eventually, a space rift appeared before Chen Lan, signifying the end of the Bridge of No Return. He stepped inside, the surrounding space flickered, and Forbidden Heaven Old Demon appeared before him.

"Master, you have arrived." Forbidden Heaven laughed. He had never been worried; with the vast divine techniques of the Demon Emperor, crossing the Bridge of No Return was more than enough.

Chen Lan nodded, turning back but suddenly froze. The bridge behind him no longer lay empty but was littered with bones and many lost souls with vacant eyes—some laughing foolishly, some crying, forever unable to exit.

"Those are the ones lost on the Bridge of No Return. They can never come out unless someone breaks the bridge; otherwise, they can only wait for death, their bones the ultimate fate." Forbidden Heaven said.

"The Bridge of No Return, truly terrifying." Chen Lan spoke mildly, filled with the heart demons and the figures or things people most desired to see, no wonder so many got lost inside. Those with weak wills are destined to perish on it.

"Let’s go."

Chen Lan proceeded forward, Forbidden Heaven following closely.

...

Underworld.

"Your Highness, the Three Lives Stone no longer flickers but shines brightly. It hasn’t gone out since this morning!" King Yama exclaimed with joy, holding the Three Lives Stone.

"Such a thing? Quickly send someone to search; it should be one of the attendees for the forthcoming Netherworld Celebration." The Celestial Emperor said excitedly. It began to shine today, as most of the guests arrived today.

They all will stay in the Netherworld, then attend the celebration the day after tomorrow, so it must be those newcomers; otherwise, the Three Lives Stone would have shone earlier.

With this, the range is vastly narrowed; as long as we find people with water in their name, checking each with the Three Lives Stone, we’ll naturally know.

"Quickly, summon everyone in the Underworld to look for names with water elements, such as Bo, Tao, Tao, Hong, etc., people with radicals or directly a water character in their name, invite them kindly!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" King Yama bowed and promptly left the Celestial Emperor’s Palace.

"Finally, this day has come. Once we find them, we can certainly avert the major catastrophe of the Underworld in the future." The Celestial Emperor laughed.

...

Netherfire City.

Chen Lan and his companion spent two hours finally finding a city. After inquiring a bit, they believed they would soon know the whereabouts of the Underworld.

But right here, Chen Lan saw an unexpected person.

"Beauty, you’re so lovely, let me smell your fragrance."

"Oh, you’re so annoying, I haven’t bathed for ten thousand years, how could I possibly smell nice, you smooth talker."

"It must be your fragrance then, anyway, let me enjoy it tonight."

A young man hugged two beautiful women, only having their upper bodies while their lower halves were ghost fire, coming out. To Chen Lan’s surprise, it was Ling Wuzi he had seen before!

"Brother, such a coincidence, we meet again!" Ling Wuzi said joyfully at Chen Lan, not expecting to see him in the Netherworld.

Chen Lan looked at Ling Wuzi, then at the brothel full of ghosts, no normal women there, his eyes extremely peculiar, not expecting Ling Wuzi to even fancy exotic charms, directly crossing from humans to ghosts, he was quite remarkable.

"Haha, Brother, you misunderstood me, I’m just here to find someone." Ling Wuzi laughed, not explaining further.

Which rendered Chen Lan speechless; wasn’t finding someone exactly why you go to a brothel?

Besides, if you’re looking for someone, why go to a brothel in the Netherworld? Where are the people?

"Brother, are you also interested in experiencing the brothel here? But with your handsome looks and strong abilities, it’s unnecessary to end up with these ghosts, I’ll take you to find real beauties someday. I’ve explored numerous brothels, know many beauties." Ling Wuzi grinned.

"No need. You’ve been here in the Netherworld, do you know where the Underworld is?" Chen Lan asked.

"Brother, you asked the right person. The Underworld is just there; straight ahead fifty million miles." Ling Wuzi pointed in a direction.

Fifty million miles, for Chen Lan, was just a step away.

"Thanks." Chen Lan smiled, finally knowing the location of the Underworld.

"You’re welcome."

Chen Lan and Forbidden Heaven instantly departed, Ling Wuzi glanced, his expression calming, casually dismissing the two ghostly brothel women, turning to walk elsewhere.
