<h4>Chapter 1542: Chapter 1539: Hated by All</h4>


    Song Ziwei’s clear eyes were now zing with mes of anger. She bit her silver teeth tightly and spat out in a cold voice, one word at a time: "Even if I die, I will never collude with people like you."


    She was originally captured alive by Xu Wendong.


    She was even forced to do such things.


    At first, she wanted to cut Xu Wendong into pieces, to vent the hatred in her heart.


    But as she interacted more, she realized that Xu Wendong was not as unbearable as she imagined.


    Not only that.


    He was even a person who valued emotions and righteousness.


    As for Liu Yuansong, whom she admired before, he refreshed her understanding and destroyed her worldview.


    She never thought that the high and mighty Hall Master of the Array Formation Hall was such a sanctimonious viin.


    To her,


    Even if being driven out of the Underground City meant death, she wanted to die with dignity, unwilling to collude with these people.


    Zhen Jing’s face was full of humiliation. He never imagined his wife would be so devoted to Xu Wendong!


    This was trampling on his dignity in public!


    "In that case, please take Han out of the city!"


    Liu Yuansong’s face was calm, showing no trace of emotional fluctuations, but he was extremely excited inside.


    It should be known that there were only three Daluo Golden Immortals in the Underground City.


    If Han Hexiang were expelled from the city, the entire Underground City would bepletely under his control.


    "Let’s go!" Han Hexiang snorted angrily and then led Xu Wendong, Si Yao, Song Ziwei, and all the people from Lingyan Pavilion towards the city gate.


    As they passed, arge crowd of people gathered on either side of the road.


    Without exception, everyone looked at Xu Wendong with eyes full of hatred, as if Xu Wendong had dug up their ancestral graves or had done shameful things to their female ancestors.


    In an instant, many people picked up stones, shouting and hurling them fiercely at Xu Wendong and the others.


    Fortunately, Xu Wendong and the others promptly released Protective Immortal Energy, preventing any substantial harm.


    Even so, they felt an embarrassment akin to street mice.


    Everyone’s heart was filled with rage!


    Momentster, they finally arrived at the city gate of the Underground City.


    Liu Yuansong looked at Han Hexiang with a faint smile, making a yfulugh: "Hope Brother Han takes care of himself and doesn’t end up in the belly of the Otherworldly Demon!"


    As the words fell, he pinched the spell with one hand, opened the formation, and then elegantly made an inviting gesture.


    Han Hexiang snorted coldly again, then led Xu Wendong and the others decisively out of the Underground City.


    The scene shed.


    A group of people arrived at the ruins on the surface.


    A deste scene unfolded before them like an ancient scroll.


    Where once bustling buildings stood, now only ruins remained; some parts stubbornly standing tall, as if steadfastly guarding their past glory; others leaning and about to copse, as if burdened by the weight of time. They stood silently there, reminiscent of past splendor.


    Rubble and stones were scattered everywhere, somerge and heavy, like silent sentinels, seemingly bearing endless sorrow and sighs.


    Others were small as gravel, gently rolling in the breeze, making slight sounds.


    The dust was lifted by the wind, blurring vision.


    The once-solid roads were now upied by cracks and pits, like wounds unable to heal, with asional stubborn weeds growing in the cracks in the wind.


    Among the ruins, remnants of broken furniture could asionally be seen, either charred ck by fire or twisted and deformed by heavy impacts.


    There were also some broken porcin pieces, with patterns still faintly visible, seemingly telling of past delicacy and beauty.


    Weeds stubbornly grew from the crevices, gently swaying in the breeze, adding a touch of weak vitality to this barrennd.


    In the distance, a few dead trees stood alone, their branches twisted and withered, with not a single leaf.


    At this moment, a scorching sun hung in the sky, its intense light pouring down, yet unable to dispel the barrenness and destion of the ruins.


    The strong sunlight cast long shadows on the crumbling walls, entuating the loneliness.


    Lu Shuling sighed with relief: "Luckily, it’s daytime on the surface now. If it were night, we would be greatly exposed to the Otherworldly Demons."


    Han Hexiangughed and shook his head: "Although Liu Yuansong wants to kill us, he definitely wouldn’t dare expel us at night."


    Lu Shuling paused and then said: "That’s right, once the formation opens at night, it would certainly attract nearby Otherworldly Demons."


    "By that time, the location of the Underground City would be exposed."


    Han Hexiang looked at everyone and said softly: "I n to go to the Biluo Immortal Continent. What are your thoughts?"


    Xu Wendong said: "I agree!"


    He had heard Han Hexiang say before that the cultivators from the Cultivation World had all entered the Biluo Immortal Continent, where they joined forces with Immortal Realm experts to inflict heavy damage on the Otherworldly Demons and seized the Biluo Immortal Continent.


    Therefore,


    For Xu Wendong, the Biluo Immortal Continent was currently the best ce to settle.


    "Senior Han, how far is this ce from Biluo Immortal Continent?" Si Yao asked with curiosity in her beautiful eyes.


    Han Hexiang waved his right hand, and an ancient parchment appeared mid-air, clearly marking the positions of the Five Continents.


    The positions of the Five Continents were like a flower, with Lingxiao Illusion Continent as the most expansive central piece, surrounded by Red me Divine Continent, Biluo Immortal Continent, Cuiying Spirit Continent, and Netherworld Ghost Continent.


    Han Hexiang exined: "We are now located at Cuiying Spirit Continent, whereas Biluo Immortal Continent is northwest of us."


    "With my flying speed, if I take you flying at full speed, it would take at least half a year."


    Upon hearing this,


    Everyone’s faces changed drastically.


    Truth be told.


    Half a year for cultivators like them was like a fleeting moment, over in a snap.


    Sometimes, a casual retreat couldst several years.


    But it was different now.


    Once night falls, the Otherworldly Demons would swarm out, wreaking havoc on the surface.


    Even though Han Hexiang had the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal, he couldn’t resist the attack of innumerable Otherworldly Demons.


    So,


    This short half-year period felt exceedingly long to them.


    Lu Shuling spoke: "Although half a year seems long, if we prepare early and set up the formation in advance, it might be possible to avoid detection by the Otherworldly Demons."


    Han Hexiang solemnly nodded, then focused his gaze on Xu Wendong and Lu Shuling, speaking softly: "You two are skilled in arrays; the task of array setup is yours. I hope we can safely reach Biluo Immortal Continent."


    Lu Shuling’s eyes showed determination: "Senior, rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure everyone’s sessful arrival at Biluo Immortal Continent!"
