"Lord Lu Hong's eyes are like torches. I was just about to report to the domain master that the three of them are indeed not people of my Three Miao Tribe. They are the Illusionary Race of Shaohao Region. This time, they made great contributions in repelling Nishituo Region. They can be considered the benefactors of my Three Miao Tribe. They wanted to go to Asura City to experience the grand occasion of the Three Regions Alliance, so I brought them here," Miao Qing said to the plump old man.

"The Illusionary Tribe of the Shaohao Territory!" The other lords faltered upon hearing this.

"Lord Miao Gao, the alliance meeting this time concerns the vital interests of our Blacktooth Region. Moreover, various factions have gathered in Asura City, and every action has great significance. How can you casually bring people from other regions along?" the fat old man frowned and spoke with dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't matter. I saw that they all have Sanmiao's guest token on them, so they can be considered members of the Blacktooth Region.

I can tell that these three people aren't weak. Miao Yu, why don't you put in more effort? If you're really able to rope them in, it'll be a good thing for our Blacktooth Region. "Miao Yu's face sank, and he was just about to speak when the Blacktooth Region Master spoke first.

"Yes, I will obey the Domain Master's order." Miao Yu's face lit up with joy as he bowed and accepted the order.

Although the fat old man was still somewhat unwilling, he couldn't say anything since the Region Master had spoken.

…

After Han Li and the others walked out of the hall, Miao Xiu warned the three of them about some things to take note of in Black Tooth City, then went their separate ways.

Shi Chuankong bade farewell to Han Li and Lu Li, then rushed to some of the city's markets. It seemed that he was looking for something to earn money.

Magic Light did not wander around. Instead, he immediately returned to the ship.

Han Li was very interested in the Dust World. He walked around Black Tooth City and collected some information about the Dust World. Then, he returned to the ship and hid in the Flowery Branch Space.

"Little Li, is the Dust World going to hold a Three Realm Alliance?" Just as Han Li sat down in the Flowery Space, Shi Qing Hou's voice echoed in his mind.

"Not bad.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and said, "The Three Great Territories seem to want to negotiate during the Alliance Meeting to decide whether the Dust World should invade the True Immortal World."

"Oh, so they're here to discuss this. Interesting.

However, as a cultivator from the True Immortal Realm, why would you want to participate in this matter? Could it be that you are planning to go spy on them? "Shi Qing Hou asked with a smile.

"I am merely a small character in the True Immortal World. This kind of big matter is not worthy of my concern. I have only heard that Asura City has a Fiend Cleansing Pool that can cleanse the baleful aura in a person's body. I am going to Asura City to find that pool and use it to pass through Fiend Decay." Han Li's eyes flashed. He did not hide anything.

"You want to find the Evil Cleansing Pool?

No wonder. I have also heard of such a place in Asura City.

Young Li, don't expect me to help you. I might have a grudge against Yin Chengquan, but I've never been to Asura City, so I don't know where the Soul-cleansing Pool is.

Kid, don't think that you can take risks just because you have the Law of Time and your strength is not bad.

Let me warn you first, although I promised to help you, if you insist on seeking death, don't blame me for not keeping my promise, "Shi Qing Hou snorted and said.

After saying this, Shi Qing Hou's voice fell silent again.

Han Li frowned when he heard this.

He told Shi Qing Hou about this because he really wanted to find out more about the Soul-cleansing Pool, but he did not expect Shi Qing Hou to not know much about it.

However, the Soul-cleansing Pool was quite famous. As long as he entered Asura City, he did not believe that he would not be able to find out its whereabouts.

As for Shi Qing Hou's words, Han Li did not take it to heart. Their fates were linked now, so as long as they entered Asura City, Shi Qing Hou would no longer be able to do anything.

Moreover, it was good that Shi Qing Hou could help him, but it did not matter to Han Li if Shi Qing Hou did not help him. He relied on himself for everything and would not rely on anyone else.

His eyes flickered, and he immediately closed his eyes.

The Blacktooth Region's Region Lord, Miao Yu, and the others discussed for two days. At dawn on the third day, everyone gathered at the square before the entrance of the Region Lord's Estate, and then they ascended a five story fortress ship that was completely refined from a type of pitch black jade prepared by the Region Lord before departing.

…

Time passed by in a flash, and more than thirty years had passed.

At the end of the horizon stood a huge pitch-black city wall. It was three hundred meters tall and stretched for a thousand miles, casting an incomparably huge black shadow under the sunlight of dusk.

At the place where the shadow and light intersected, a huge black ship slowly descended. Dozens of figures flew down from it, but they did not rush toward the city gate.

When the Blacktooth Region Lord flew down from the ship, he waved his hand and stored the ship away. Only then did everyone walk toward the city gate.

Han Li and the other two wore the clothes of the Three Miao Tribes and walked in the middle of the group.

"Is this Asura City?

Tsk tsk, it is indeed magnificent and extraordinary. It should be one of the few big cities in the Dust World. "Shi Chuang Kong's eyes flickered as he praised.

Han Li looked into the distance and saw all kinds of strange runes engraved on the city wall. They were very different from what he had seen in the Immortal World. There were also faint fluctuations of baleful aura coming from them.

At the huge city gate, there was a large group of people gathered as if they were queuing to enter the city.

Han Li's group slowed down when they were still three hundred meters away from the city gate. The various clans that were entering the city in a single file had already lined up in front of them.

At a glance, Han Li saw that there were several hundred guards stationed at the side of the three gates.

Almost all of them wore grey robes that dragged on the ground. Their feet were a foot above the ground as they floated in the air. As a result, they were taller than most of the clans. Without exception, all of them wore an indifferent expression on their faces.

In terms of appearance, they were quite similar to humans. However, from the bottom of their eyelids to their cheeks, they were covered in grey scales that made them look like shedded snakes.

"These fellows seem to be from the Nine Nether Tribe?" Shi Chuang Kong glanced at them and said.

Hearing this, Han Li was also puzzled.

The Nine Nether Tribe was the leader of the Nine Nether Domain. Their patriarch was the Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Domain. Therefore, they had a special status and usually wouldn't come to guard the city. But today, all of them were cultivators from the Nine Nether Tribe. It was indeed unusual.

"They can't be considered as members of the Nine Nether Tribe. At most, they can be considered as Netherslaves. They are considered as an inferior branch of the Nine Nether Tribe. They serve the Nine Nether Tribe.

In fact, there are very few members of the Nine Nether Tribe. Almost every one of them is a cultivation genius, so they are very proud.

Do you see those people below the city gate? They are the real members of the Nine Nether Tribe. "Hearing Shi Chuang Kong's words, Miao Shu turned around and said to them.

Han Li looked over and saw a sunken cheeks and thin old man sitting on a big black chair below the city gate. He wore a black robe and looked almost the same as the Netherslaves. However, there were no scales on his cheeks like those shedded snakes.

The old man didn't conceal his terrifying aura at all, as if he wanted to suppress the people of the various races gathered in front of the city gate. It was actually comparable to a Late-stage Primordial Unity cultivator.

Beside him, there were two people hovering in the air. They looked arrogant and wore black robes. They were hovering a foot in the air. Because they were tall, people had to raise their heads to look at them.

Seeing that the people of the Blacktooth Domain had come close to the city gate, the leading cultivator only raised his eyelids and glanced at them. He still sat on the big black chair and didn't move.

Among the two people who were hovering in the air, one of them was fat. He moved and floated over.

"Everyone from the Blacktooth Domain, please follow me. We'll enter the city from the side gate."

The man came closer and said in a gloomy voice. He didn't even greet them and directly led them into the city from the small gate on the left of the main gate.

The Blacktooth Domain Lord frowned slightly. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, the lords of the Blacktooth Domain were furious. They cursed under their breaths, but no one made a sound. After all, they were in someone else's territory, and they still had to tuck their tails between their legs.

The group was led to the door on the left. They saw a long queue in front of them. It seemed that some tribes from the Reincarnation Domain were entering the city in a single file.

Han Li and the other two walked with Miao Yu and the others in the middle of the Blacktooth Domain's group.

"Brother Li, something doesn't seem right. They seem to be checking our identities," Shi Chuankong suddenly reminded him through telepathy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Yu also said, "These bastards. Not only did they ask us to go through the side gate, they even want to check our identities. What do they take us for?"

Han Li shifted his gaze and saw that there was a person in front of the door. He was holding an octagonal black prism. The frame seemed to be made of some kind of metal. Many fine lines could still be seen on it. The surface of the mirror was like a black crystal, glowing brightly.

Every time someone walked to the door, that person would check their eyes through the octagonal prism.

However, no one checked the center and the right side of the city gate.

"My two friends, this is called the Dark Exploring Mirror. It's considered a type of scouting-type treasure. It's especially effective in detecting changes in killing intent.

Through this item, the concentration of killing intent in the eyes of the person being checked can be seen clearly. They can even distinguish the race and origin of the person based on the minute differences in their pupils, "Magic Light suddenly said.

"You know of it?" Han Li was a bit surprised.

"You guys have been looking through various information about the Dust World these days. I haven't been idle either. I've flipped through some books. There's a record in an ancient book called [Records of Rare Goods]. Do you want to take a look?" Magic Light smiled.

"In your opinion, will our disguise be discovered?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"This body of mine belongs to the Void Integration Tribe. They won't be able to detect anything.

Brother Li, you've been troubled by the Baneful Decay for a long time. Your pupils have already changed, and killing intent has taken up residence in your orifices. This is a blessing in disguise. You should be able to deceive them.

However, Brother Shi … is a bit troublesome, "Magic Light slowly said.

Hearing this, Shi Chuang Kong's expression tightened, and he muttered to himself.

The people in the queue in front walked through the doorway one after another. The queue looked long, but it wasn't slow. They quickly arrived at the people of the Blacktooth Region.

The Region Lord's status was noble, so he naturally didn't need to be checked. He only needed to flash the Region Lord's token that represented his faction to enter the city. After that, no matter if it was the leaders, lords, elders, or guests, they all needed to be checked by the Dark Exploring Mirror.

After the people of the Blacktooth Region were checked, they didn't immediately enter the city. Instead, they all waited in the doorway with the Region Lord. They waited for everyone to pass through before entering the city together.

Soon, it was the turn of the six people from the Three Miao Tribes.
