Chapter 1530 1442: Secrets of the Past

Yu Wei originally intended to capture the City Lord of Illusion, but unexpectedly became a burden to everyone, feeling both angry and annoyed, wishing desperately to die immediately.

But since he was captured by the City Lord of Illusion, unable to exert any magical power, he could only let himself be dragged further and further away.

Seeing that he finally escaped, the City Lord of Illusion once again displayed an arrogant expression on his face, snorted coldly, and said: "Wang Yan, remember, it's about who laughs last, who laughs best."

After saying this, the City Lord of Illusion suddenly retreated backward, abruptly speeding up.

But at this moment, the City Lord of Illusion heard a cold voice from behind: "You're right, that's exactly how it is."

Hearing this voice, the City Lord of Illusion couldn't help but feel a shiver run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Because this voice belonged to the person he feared the most in the depths of his heart.

In terror, the City Lord of Illusion quickly turned his head and indeed saw Wang Yan standing behind him, with a frosty face.

The City Lord of Illusion was startled and hurriedly tried to move Yu Wei in front of him to block Wang Yan.

But just as the City Lord of Illusion was about to move Yu Wei, he suddenly felt as if his wrist, holding Yu Wei, was clamped by an iron vise, unable to move an inch.

The City Lord of Illusion had no choice but to turn back, only to find, in his horror, that it was another Wang Yan who was gripping his wrist.

At this time, the City Lord of Illusion noticed another Wang Yan appeared on his left, coldly saying: "You've committed so many evils, today is your death day."

With these words, the three Wang Yans standing beside the City Lord of Illusion simultaneously struck at him.

Even one Wang Yan was already more than the City Lord of Illusion could handle, let alone three attacking together.

The City Lord of Illusion let out a miserable cry, his body shattered and turned into wisps of black smoke, dissipating in mid-air.

Then, Wang Yan raised his hand, and the black cherry appeared, a massive suction force drawing the City Lord of Illusion into the black cherry, disappearing completely.

Yu Wei, saved by Wang Yan and witnessing his decisive and clean actions, couldn't help but be greatly impressed, immediately bowing to Wang Yan and saying: "Thank you, Senior Wang Yan, for saving my life."

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said: "No need to be formal, let's call each other brothers from now on."

Although Yu Wei was an Asura, he had a passion for martial arts that resonated with Wang Yan.

Moreover, Yu Wei was deeply impressed by Wang Yan, and now as a friend rather than a foe, Yu Wei immediately became closer to Wang Yan.

The three Wang Yans, having killed the City Lord of Illusion, then flickered and disappeared, all returning into Wang Yan's true body.

Seeing this, Meng Po couldn't help but smile with joy, saying: "Wang Yan, it's been years since we last met, and I must say, I see you in a new light now."

When Meng Po first met Wang Yan, he was merely at the level of a Demon Emperor.

Although at that time, even in Mozi Academy, Wang Yan was considered outstanding, in Meng Po's eyes it was not worth mentioning.

Now, upon meeting again, Wang Yan was already on par with Meng Po, especially in maturity and determination, he was no longer the same person.

Hearing Meng Po's praise, Wang Yan could not help but feel embarrassed, saying: "Senior Meng Po, I'm not worthy of such compliments, you asked me to find Senior Jiang Yikang, but up to now, I haven't found him."

Meng Po smiled slightly and said: "I asked you to find Jiang Yikang because of the chaos in the Nether Realm, and he was the only one in the Three Realms who could calm it, but now it seems, even without him, you can handle it."

Hearing this, many questions rushed up in Wang Yan's mind, and he hurriedly asked Meng Po: "Senior Meng Po, what exactly is the chaos in the Nether Realm? Why are there so many Asura Evil Ghosts? And what happened with the broken Six Paths? Is the black cherry you gave me also a fragment of the Six Paths?"

Hearing Wang Yan's questions, Meng Po nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, everything you asked is crucial, it seems in these years, besides greatly improving your cultivation, you've also been pondering. Today, I'll tell you everything."

Saying this, Meng Po walked a few steps forward, found a rocky seat, and Wang Yan sat across from Meng Po.

Shadowless and others gathered around, listening earnestly to Meng Po's narration.

Meng Po slowly spoke: "In the past, the previous King Yama attempted to dominate the Human Realm, using poison to harm mortals. As a result, Jiang Yikang led an army and invaded the Nether Realm, breaching the Eighteen Layers of Hell and killing King Yama. However, during the fierce battle, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was shattered."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan finally understood that the Six Paths of Reincarnation were actually shattered by Jiang Yikang, and the original culprit was the treachery of the previous King Yama.

"What happened next? Didn't Senior Jiang Yikang repair the Six Paths?" Wang Yan asked.

Meng Po shook her head and said: "Later, due to the injustice of the Celestial Realm, Jiang Yikang once again waged war against it, thus leaving the task of repairing the Six Paths to me."

"So besides the Human Realm and the Nether Realm, there's the Celestial Realm as well, no wonder it's called the Three Realms, this makes sense." Wang Yan couldn't help but nod to himself.

"Indeed. Later, Jiang Yikang defeated the Celestial Emperor, unifying the Celestial Realm. He then settled with his beloved wife and brothers beyond the heavens. Everything was peaceful, but unexpectedly, two powerful individuals appeared in the Nether Realm, stopping me from repairing the Six Paths, and even defeated me, imprisoning me and my followers in the Hell Abyss, resulting in so many Evil Ghost Asuras unable to enter reincarnation in the Nether Realm."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan suddenly realized the depth of the current chaos in the Nether Realm.

Meng Po continued: "What happened afterward you already know. I couldn't leave the Hell Abyss, so I spent a great deal of magical power to send out a wisp of my spirit to encounter you. The black cherry I gave you is actually a fragment of the Six Paths that I was trying to repair. There are six such fragments in total, and once they are gathered, the Six Paths can be restored, resolving the crises in the Human Realm and the chaos in the Nether Realm."

Wang Yan nodded and, after a brief thought, asked: "Senior Meng Po, the two powerful individuals you mentioned, how powerful exactly are they? Where are they now?"

Meng Po replied: "One of them, the weaker one, is the current King Yama, whom I am not a match for. The other has unfathomable power, even one finger is beyond my ability to oppose. To this day, I do not know their name."

At this, Wang Yan was greatly shocked. Meng Po's cultivation was higher than his, yet she couldn't defeat the current King Yama, and there was an even stronger enemy whom Meng Po couldn't withstand a single finger from.

Defeating these two enemies was clearly no easy task.

Seeing Wang Yan in deep thought, Meng Po let out a bitter laugh and said: "I know you're contemplating how to defeat King Yama, but that's not the most important matter right now."

"Then what is the main matter?" Wang Yan asked.

"We cannot leave the Hell Abyss!"
