"You know where we can find the Abyssal Council?" Yuan looked at Supreme Ruler Dena with a raised eyebrow, wondering what sort of connection she had with this shady organization.
"I had a run-in with them before," she said, almost as if she could read his mind. "However, I don’t know if they’ll still be at the same place."
"We’ll know once we get there," said Yuan. "Where can we go to find them?"
"Corpse Mountain," she said.
"Oh?" Yuan was familiar with this location, but he’d never personally visited it before.
"I wanted to visit that place in the past but never got the chance," he remarked.
"Corpse Mountain, huh? Fortunately it’s not far." Lev sighed. "But it’s as dangerous as the Deprived Crimson Valley since the Forsaken like to hide there."
Yuan knew this. When Tian Chenyu had visited last time he’d heard that many Forsaken favored the mountain’s vast, treacherous terrain that made it easier for them to remain hidden, and he had planned to visit to hunt them. But alas, he never got the chance.
"Let’s go."
Yuan and his group left the city shortly after and began their journey to the Corpse Mountain.
Meanwhile, a large group of demons gathered at the Demise Ravine.
"The Supreme Ruler was right! There are signs of her power being used here! That woman has really escaped the Deprived Crimson Valley!"
"Oh my god... to think that crazy bitch is out of the Deprived Crimson Valley again... this is a total nightmare."
Suddenly, these demons felt a powerful presence descending on them, and it was none other than the Queen Wraith of Demise.
"What are the Supreme Ruler’s lackeys doing in my territory?" Queen Wraith of Demise questioned them with an army of Nether Wraiths by her side.
"Queen Wraith of Demise! We are not here to cause trouble! We are here under the Supreme Ruler’s command to investigate a certain individual, and I am certain that you have information that will help us!"
"And how are you so certain that I have such information?" Queen Wraith of Demise inquired.
"As the ruler of this land, there’s no way you wouldn’t notice someone causing such a disturbance here! Please help us! We just want to know about the individual who was here!"
The Queen Wraith of Demise sneered, "Let’s say I have such information. Why the hell should I help you? I have no obligation to assist the Supreme Ruler, either."
"Of course, we’re not asking you to help for free. If you help us, the Supreme Ruler will definitely reward you handsomely."
The Queen Wraith of Demise fell silent for a minute before responding, "If I recall correctly, the Supreme Ruler has a certain treasure in his possession called the Spectral Jewel. If he gives me that treasure, I’ll tell you everything I know."
"That... we will relay your demands to the Supreme Ruler."
Some time later...
"Queen Wraith of Demise, the Supreme Ruler has agreed to your demands! If you tell us everything you know, he’ll give you the Spectral Jewel! However, your information must actually be helpful and real!"
"In that case, ask away. I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge," she said.
"Did a petite woman about this height with crimson hair and eyes appear here in the last few years?"
"Yes, there was someone like that."
