From the beginning, Xiao Zheng never intended to let Noah go.

The reason he talked so much nonsense was merely to extract clues from him. Now that he had the clues, he naturally wouldn’t spare Noah’s life.

Xiao Zheng didn’t bother with Noah’s corpse and went straight to the blood pool.

The presence of the blood pool brought him a strong sense of crisis.

For some reason, Xiao Zheng always felt that the blood pool before him seemed filled with ominousness and evil.

"This kind of thing left in the world is bound to be a disaster sooner or later."

"Once I rescue Hades, I’ll suggest to her to see if we can destroy this cursed thing."

Xiao Zheng thought to himself, and then his gaze fell on Lancelot, who was hovering above the blood pool.

Lancelot did not wake up like Noah.

In the previous battle with Hades, he was the most severely injured. However, after so many days of recovery, his external injuries have healed, and his breathing is steady, as if he could wake up at any moment.

"So this is the third-generation Netherworld King of the Blood Clan? I wonder how these guys have survived until now."

"No matter, I’ll kill him first."

Xiao Zheng shook his head, then used Gang Qi to form a bow and arrow.

Then he drew the bow and nocked the arrow.

The arrow shot out like a meteor, instantly shattering Lancelot’s body into pieces.

The flesh scattered, finally all merging into the blood pool.

After completing all this, Xiao Zheng turned around and left contentedly.

However, he did not know that just as he re-entered the tunnel, five evil presences suddenly appeared in the blood pool behind him. At first, these evil presences were not particularly strong, but as time passed, they gradually became clearer...

Leaving the Underground Palace, Xiao Zheng returned to the Temple.

Seeing the Divine Throne return and cover up the entrance to the Underground Palace, he turned and walked towards the outside of the Temple. Noah had just told him that Hades was currently sealed on a snowy mountain not far from the Netherworld King Temple.

Xiao Zheng stood on the plaza outside the hall and surveyed the distance, finally locking onto the tallest snowy mountain to the west.

He could feel there was a very peculiar energy on this mountain.

"It seems the Frozen Cave spoken of by the fourth-generation Netherworld King is on this mountain."

"It’s strange though, I’ve been to the Netherworld King Temple many times, why didn’t I notice anything odd on this snowy mountain before?"

Xiao Zheng showed a look of doubt.

This is actually quite normal; the reason he sensed the presence of the Frozen Cave now is entirely because Morren and the other two broke one of its seals during the battle with Hades.

Causing the energy of the Frozen Cave to slowly leak out.

If it weren’t for that battle, the Frozen Cave would probably have remained hidden under endless ice and snow like before.

Xiao Zheng had already set off, sprinting towards the snowy mountain.

The snowy mountain had a high altitude, at least over four thousand meters high.

For ordinary people, climbing such a high mountain would probably take at least half a day or even a day. But for Xiao Zheng, it was as if he were walking on flat ground.

In just five minutes, he reached the summit.

On top of the mountain, the biting cold wind were constantly howling.

Perhaps due to the onset of winter, the wind and blood here became even colder. Looking around, the landscape was absolutely white. Even the traces left behind from the previous battle were covered by snow.

"It should be here."

Xiao Zheng sensed that peculiar energy and finally arrived at a certain spot atop the mountain.

He glanced at the ice and snow beneath his feet, then suddenly struck out with a palm.

The palm wind howled, instantly sweeping away the ice and snow.

With the ice and snow gone, it revealed a pitch-black cave entrance at the bottom. The peculiar energy Xiao Zheng sensed was emanating from this entrance. And on the surface of the entrance, if one looked closely, they could see a layer of blue light flickering from time to time.

"Is this the Frozen Cave left by the Ancestor of the Blood Clan? It’s indeed peculiar."

"Although I haven’t entered yet, I can already sense the powerful resentment inside. Over the years, who knows how many people have been locked inside, and how many have died in there."

Xiao Zheng muttered to himself, touching the entrance with his hand.

As soon as his hand passed through the blue light screen, a strong suction force instantly pulled him into the Frozen Cave. The process was so quick that he didn’t even have time to react.

But soon, Xiao Zheng calmed down.

He controlled his body, trying to avoid the jagged rocks on both sides of the passage. The entire fall lasted only about ten seconds. He then rolled and landed perfectly on the ground.

By this time, Xiao Zheng could finally observe the internal situation of the Frozen Cave.

Below was another world.

It was as if a natural karst cave had formed, with a large area, but only one exit above. Moreover, the surrounding stone walls have been modified by some strange energy, making them indestructible.

Xiao Zheng attempted to punch the dark stone wall, but could only leave a fist mark, unable to even create a crack.

"No wonder this serves as the Blood Clan’s prison."

"Aside from this channel above, there’s no other way to escape."

"I wonder where Hades is now."

Xiao Zheng scanned his eyes around, filled with worry.

The Frozen Cave also had many passages, dividing the underground space like separate cells. To find someone here would take considerable time. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Fortunately, Xiao Zheng had X-ray vision and didn’t need to scurry around the Frozen Cave like a headless fly.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, followed by the dark stone walls transforming into transparent surfaces within his vision. His view suddenly widened, but what followed was incredibly shocking.

Inside this Frozen Cave lay countless bones!

Looking around, everything was a vast sea of white!

Roughly estimated, at least four to five thousand people died in this Frozen Cave; otherwise, the bones inside would not be such a massive scale!

"No wonder I sensed that massive resentment from above."

"Turns out this Frozen Cave really is a tomb of the dead!"

Xiao Zheng held back his inner shock and quickly began searching for Hades’s whereabouts.

Seeing so many bones around him, he couldn’t help but grow even more worried for Hades...
