Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 441: The Nagas.

Hao Ren continued on his path to get to the deeper floors and he had been killing the beasts that attacked him. The number of human experts on the lower floors was lesser than the ones on the top. He sort of found it reasonable because the beasts were stronger and the possibility of getting attacked were high as well.

The young man cleared three more floors, before he came to the thirty fifth floor and channeled his spiritual energy through the Naga mark and as he expected, after a few minutes, he was surrounded by the Naga's and said, "Are you going to attack me or come out to have a conversation?"

At his words, several of them came out from behind the trees. They were all young and equipped with battle spears. Hao Ren looked around and found one of them who was very calm and asked, "You might be the leader of this party, are you not?"

The young Naga nodded and said, "Yes, I am. Can you tell us, where did you get that brand?"

Hao Ren nodded and replied calmly, "There is a clan of Nagas on the land where I come from. They were in a pinch and I helped them. The Princess, Her Highness Ulupi bestowed me with the mark as a symbol of friendship."

The young man frowned and said, "I have been outside, but I have never heard the name Ulupi."

Hao Ren nodded and replied, as he said, "You are not aware that two worlds, the Spirit Siphon Continent has merged with The Spirit Shimmer Continent. I belong to the latter, and that is where she resides, thus I am sure that you didn't know about her."

The man nodded and asked, "So, how can two worlds be so far apart that they don't know about each other, and yet have similar beast species there?"

Hao Ren replied with a smile, "Is it that unbelievable? Humans are also living in continents that are far superior than the ones we are on. What you need to understand is that the world we know about is not even as big as the tip of an iceberg. Their are many mysteries that we have yet to see, and even if we spend the entire life travelling and learning, we might not know about a few things."

The Nagas were surprised and it was evident by their existence. Hao Ren took out a gourd from his space ring and asked, "The snake wine recipe is a secret of your kind, am I right?"

The young Naga nodded, and Hao Ren removed the cork of the gourd, as he asked, "What do you think now? Just because you are unaware of something, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist."

His words caused the young Naga warrior to hesitate and at this moment, an old voice sounded from the side, "Hmm, this young man, what you say does make some sense."

The young Naga warriors all bowed their heads and greeted, "Greetings, Elder."

The old naga nodded and asked, "Young man, what is your name?"

Hao Ren reported his name and said, "I apologize if I am causing you any trouble elder. However, on a floor above, there were a few snake beasts who attacked me, they held back because they sensed the mark of your kind on me."

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Little red and his kind are a bit aggressive but they are not bad people."

Hao Ren nodded and replied, "In this world, nobody is good or bad, it is just their actions that make the difference during different circumstances."

The old Naga chuckled and said, "Well said. Come, we should go and talk about Dao in the clan."

The young Naga was surprised and he was about to say something when the old Naga waved his hand and asked the other to keep silence. They moved through the forest and came to a small encampment and the old man said, "This is where the clan is living right now. In this world, we have to live like nomads, ever since those damned ancestors of the five clans have caged us in this floor."

Hao Ren frowned and remarked, "I am aware that this forceful entrapment is because of the dragon on the bottom of the labyrinth."

The Old Naga shook his head and replied, "The Severance Dragon was originally the guardian of the Samsara Dynasty. She is one of the most brave and righteous creatures that walk this world. However, in his greed to gain power, the second prince of the Dynasty took her egg, and tried to refine the embryo. That was why she turned over to be the biggest villain. The Severance Dragon, is called, Mila. She destroyed the very empire that she vowed to safeguard, however, it cost her a lot."

Hao Ren frowned even harder, and asked, "If I am not guessing wrong, then what seems to be going on here, is that the her Excellency Mila is being used as a cover up for their own narrow mindedness. Right?"

The old Naga nodded, he said, "The ancestors of the five families were initially the officials of the Samsara Dynasty, they have perished about two thousand years ago, but their descendants, they hunted all the beasts they could, and threw them here to fend for themselves as they tolerated the bloodline suppression from, Her Excellency Mila."

Hao Ren asked, "Is this labyrinth made to control her?"

The Old Naga nodded, and replied, "After they sealed her, they cast this labyrinth above the sealing pit. Then they threw us here, to absorb the baleful energy that is being created by her hatred for humans. Another purpose of sealing us all over in the Labyrinth was simply to make sure that she doesn't act out.

If she wishes to break free, then she would need to break through the floors and doing so would kill all the spirit beasts, and thus, she is enduring."

Hao Ren nodded, he sat down on a boulder as he asked, "What is the way to get her out?"

The Nagas in the surroundings were shocked, they didn't expect that Hao Ren would say something like this. The young man shook his head and replied, "You are thinking too much. I have a very simple reason to ask you of this. I dislike to be tricked. The City Of Rage is a city that is based on survival of the fittest, and in the inner city, they have tricked me saying things that don't make any sense."

The old Naga chuckled and replied, "If anyone was to know what happened, then it should be Old Gun, that tiny black dog raised inside the Dragon Hall."

Hao Ren was surprised and looked at the old Naga who said, "That dog is a hellhound, strong enough to challenge the might of a dragon. He is bound by the Dao oath, if someone asks him the truth, he is incapable of lying."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "He might not lie, but he can still refuse to tell the truth."

The Naga was surprised now, and thinking about it, that was indeed the case. Hao Ren said, "Nothing to worry, I will find a way to get to the bottom of this and try to get you all free. Till then."

He stood up clasped his fist before the elders, and then he left the clan and headed to the exit gate. It was time he dealt with the folks in the City. His space ring had ran out of space to stuff more things, and he had to sell them for a great bargain.

The Nagas didn't stop him, they watched him go away, and the young man asked, "Elder, are you even okay?"

The Old Naga nodded and said, "It doesn't matter anymore, if he is not lying, then he should be here within two days. Let's see how it unfolds."

The people nodded and they went about their work while the Elder stood in the center of the village and looking up at the dark sky.

...

Hao Ren appeared outside the gate, and then he walked up to the reception counter and said, "Hi, I would like to exchange all these items for spirit stones and different spirit artifacts."

The counter in charge looked at Hao Ren, who waved his hand and a small pile of beast corpses were poured into that room. The people looked at Hao Ren and the five heads of family stepped forward to make introductions.

The man in the center was robust physique and strong vitality, he said, "Hello, Young master Hao, I am Wang Juling, the head of the Wang family, one of the strongest families in the city. Pleasure to meet you, would you like to have a conversation over some tea?"

Before Hao Ren could even say anything, a couple of old men jumped in the frey and said, "Old Juling, you are trying to steal the talent from under our eyes?"

Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Family heads thank your offer, but I have decided to join the Dragon Hall."
