Chapter 1515 1427: The Foe with Four Yuan Vitality

As soon as he flew into the Hell Abyss, Wang Yan felt that, at the very deepest part of the Hell Abyss, a huge suction force was pulling at him, constantly dragging him down toward the bottom of the Hell Abyss.

Wang Yan precisely wanted to enter the Hell Abyss, so he simply borrowed this force and kept falling downward.

But when he felt this tremendous suction, the City Lord of Illusion screamed in terror, "So what they said was true, there really is this huge suction inside the Hell Abyss. Once you enter the Hell Abyss you can never get out again. It's over, it's over, I'll never get out, ever."

Amid the City Lord of Illusion's miserable cries, Wang Yan grabbed him and fell straight down for several hundred zhang, before finally coming to a stop.

Once his feet touched the ground, Wang Yan tossed the City Lord of Illusion onto the floor, letting him sit there, wailing and sighing, crying and shouting, while Wang Yan surveyed the surroundings.

He saw that the place he was in, though called the Hell Abyss, compared to the Nether Realm, didn't have that bone‑chilling gloom at all. Instead, the air was suffused with a familiar aura from the Human Realm.

This aura made Wang Yan feel extremely comfortable, but when he turned his head to look at the City Lord of Illusion, he saw that under the suppression of this aura, the man's cultivation was being restrained.

After a brief thought, Wang Yan instantly understood. Although this aura made him feel comfortable, for Evil Ghost Asura, it was the most detestable of auras.

No wonder this place was called the Hell Abyss—it was named with respect to the Evil Ghost Asura.

Only, Wang Yan had come here to search for Meng Po. First, to repay Meng Po's kindness; second, since Meng Po had long dwelled in the Nether Realm, she would naturally know everything that had happened there, and would also understand how to repair the Six Paths of Reincarnation and lift the calamity of the Human World.

Thus, after roughly discerning a direction, Wang Yan immediately started walking forward.

Seeing that Wang Yan was about to leave, the City Lord of Illusion scrambled up from the ground and begged Wang Yan, "Senior, please, don't go forward. Please take me out of here. The Asura here are said to be far too vicious, we really will be killed."

The City Lord of Illusion had originally been bent on escaping from Wang Yan's side, yet now he was asking Wang Yan to take him away from here. From this, it was clear that, in his heart, the Asura of the Hell Abyss were even more terrifying than Wang Yan.

Just as the City Lord of Illusion was shouting, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the darkness: "Hee‑hee, new ghosts again. Hm? No, I misjudged. This time a human has come."

As these words fell, an Asura slowly walked out of the darkness.

The moment he saw this Asura, Wang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, because he sensed that this Asura's cultivation was extremely high—actually on par with his own, having also reached the realm of Three Elements Morning Qi.

Wang Yan had never imagined that the first Asura he would meet inside the Hell Abyss would possess such a high cultivation.

If that was the case, could it be that all the Asura within the Hell Abyss were extraordinary in cultivation?

When the City Lord of Illusion saw this Asura, his eyes rolled once, and he suddenly ran quickly up to the Asura and dropped to his knees, shouting, "Senior, save me!"

The Asura lowered his head and glanced at the City Lord of Illusion, then asked, "For what reason were you exiled here?"

The City Lord of Illusion hurriedly said, "Senior, I was dissatisfied with King Yama's brutal rule, so I remonstrated with him. But King Yama not only refused to heed my words, he instead cast me down into this place."

Even as he spoke, the City Lord of Illusion was sizing up the Asura in front of him.

Sure enough, when the Asura heard the mention of King Yama's brutality, a trace of approval immediately appeared on his face.

At that, the City Lord of Illusion instantly understood that he had bet on the right side.

The Asura in this Hell Abyss were all mortal enemies of King Yama, so as long as one spoke ill of King Yama, one would automatically become one of their own.

Right away, the City Lord of Illusion began cursing King Yama again, scolding him so badly that King Yama was left with no virtue at all, condemned as utterly worthless.

The Asura immediately waved his hand and said, "All right, I've heard enough. Since you are an enemy of King Yama, then you are one of our own ghosts. I can tell you my name. Remember it—my name is Yu Wei."

With that, Yu Wei lifted his hand, took out a black pill, and handed it to the City Lord of Illusion, saying, "Eat it."

The City Lord of Illusion received the pill and immediately sensed that it was filled with abundant Yin Qi, a great tonic for an Asura.

Overjoyed, the City Lord of Illusion quickly accepted the pill, bowed to Yu Wei with utmost respect, then swallowed the pill into his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his belly, wisps of black Qi began to rise from the severed stump of the City Lord of Illusion's left arm, continuously spreading outward, extending beyond his body.

As the black Qi spread, his severed left arm actually began to grow out anew.

Seeing this, the City Lord of Illusion was wildly ecstatic and once again bowed repeatedly to Yu Wei in thanks.

Yu Wei waved his hand, glanced at Wang Yan, and asked, "And who are you? How does a Demon Cultivator appear in the Nether Realm?"

At this moment, seeing Yu Wei give out a pill that healed the City Lord of Illusion's arm, Wang Yan couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

Ever since he entered the Nether Realm, every Evil Ghost or Asura he encountered had been selfish and self‑serving: either burning bridges after crossing the river, or kicking away the ladder once they were up the tree. He had never seen an Asura who took the initiative to help others, especially when the one being helped was someone they were meeting for the first time.

Why was this Yu Wei so different, or did Yu Wei have some ulterior motive?

While Yu Wei was asking his question, Wang Yan was still lost in thought, so he didn't answer at once.

Taking advantage of Wang Yan's distraction, the City Lord of Illusion hurriedly edged up behind Yu Wei, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Senior, it was this man who broke my left arm."

Hearing that, Yu Wei's expression sank, and a hint of hostility toward Wang Yan instantly arose.

Yu Wei's tone hardened as he spoke toward Wang Yan, "Did you hear what I asked you? Just who are you, and why have you come here?"

At this time, Wang Yan raised his head and looked at Yu Wei. Although the one standing before him was, by rights, a hostile Asura, the fact that Yu Wei had just acted in a way akin to humans, offering mutual aid, made Wang Yan regard him somewhat differently.

Thus, Wang Yan answered honestly, "I came here to look for someone."

"Who?" Yu Wei asked.

"Meng Po." Wang Yan gave a truthful answer. In his view, if Yu Wei was different from ordinary Asura, then if he treated Yu Wei with sincere honesty, Yu Wei would surely respond in kind, and he might thereby learn Meng Po's whereabouts.

Yet the moment Yu Wei heard Wang Yan utter the two words "Meng Po," his face turned cold and he barked, "Courting death!"

With that, Yu Wei swung up his fist and smashed it toward Wang Yan.
