The Soul Land of the Nether Realm was guarded by the Undead Clan. However, even the Undead Clan didn't dare enter that place easily. They only guarded the parameters of the Soul Land.

In the last seven days, Alion and Jia used their prisoner to arrange a place for them to stay under the radar.

Even though the Ghost City Branch Head lived in the outer layer, he was born and raised in the Capital so he knew many things about the Capital and had easily arranged for a place for them to stay.

Moreover, throughout the last few days, Alion and Jia spent most of their time, trying to observe the security mechanism of the City.

They weren't like Gabriel who didn't need to worry about such things. They couldn't just kill everyone who stood on their path like Karyk did last time. Instead, they had to be more careful. They weren't as strong as Karyk and they certainly didn't have vast spirit reserves like him.

By now, they had a rough idea as to what kind of security they had to pass through. First, even though the City defense was weaker now, there were still many Guards that could often be seen patrolling the streets.

A little commotion and it was easy to attract the attention of the guards! It was even harder to trespass into the Soul Land.

The Undead Clan sent most of their people to the Forbidden Land after Gabriel. However, they didn't make any changes in the security of the Soul Land.

There were over hundred Undead Clansmen guarding the Soul Land. Moreover, amongst them, there were many Silver Eyed Undead who could teleport.

After getting a rough understanding of what they had to face, Jia and Alion were sitting in the garden, making a plan after making sure that they were here alone.

In his hand, Alion had a page. On the page, he made a circle which depicted the Soul Land area.

Around that circle, he marked the position of the guards with dots.

Amongst the hundred dots, there were four dots which he made darker! These were the positions of the Silver Eyed Undead.

"Before anything, we need to kill the Silver Eyed once. We can't allow anyone to escape with their help. After we take them out, it should be relatively easier."

Alion made sure that Jia paid attention to his plan. According to him, he was going to hide in the shadows and assassinate the Silver Eyed Undead to prevent any chaos. It was only after they killed the Silver Eyed Undead that Jia was supposed to enter the scene and use her abilities to kill the rest!

Even if Jia couldn't kill them all, she could at least hold them back for a short while. Without the silver eyed Undead, the other guards couldn't escape that easily.

It was clear that they were going to give it their all to kill Jia since she was only one person before them.

"In the meantime, I'll sneak inside the Soul Land," Alion exclaimed. "I've seen the people we are supposed to save. I should be able to save their souls."

"After I come out, I'll signal you and we'll retreat."

They had already captured the Branch Head of the Undead Clan. They also had a silver eyed Undead prepared for their escape!

It was a mission where they wanted to be swift. According to the plan they were told by Gabriel, after they saved the two souls, there was no need for them to stay in the Nether Realm!

They were supposed to simply go to the Outer Layer and leave where they came from! As for worrying about Gabriel, that wasn't for them to think about.

Gabriel already told them that he had a way to leave after he was done. Alion and Jia were somewhat suspicious but they didn't think too much about it.

"Two hours... We'll execute the plan after two hours. Make sure that there are no mistakes! Even though the defense of the City is weak, it's not something we can face. So we can't let anyone else know that the Soul Land was under attack!"

"Your role is most important in that! Make sure the battle isn't too loud and no one manages to get past you! If you fail, we might have to be buried here!"

Alion couldn't emphasize enough how dangerous this place was for them.

Back in the Forbidden Land, Gabriel had already gained control over the Silver Eyed Undead who had also managed to evolve and gain intelligence.

However, even under this intelligence, he knew that Gabriel was his absolute master! Even if he had to die, he couldn't betray Gabriel or let any harm come to him!

Fortunately, there was no need for him to worry about that. Gabriel led the Silver Eyed Undead deeper into the Forbidden Land. However, he still didn't stop leaving drops of his blood wherever he went.

The Silver-eyed Undead noticed his strange action. However, he couldn't understand why Gabriel was doing it. The silver eyed Undead didn't have blood in his body. However, he still knew how important blood was for the people who possessed it. Why was his master wasting his blood for no reason?

"Master, why are you doing that?" He couldn't help but ask.

He understood that Gabriel wasn't stupid. If there was no benefit, he wouldn't be doing that. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand the benefit, if there was any.

"You'll understand when the time comes," Gabriel calmly answered, seemingly not in any hurry to explain his reasoning.

He still hasn't completed his task yet after all.

Moreover, he already guessed that the army of three great clans had arrived after him. It wasn't going to be long before the army caught up with them since they were traveling on foot while the army would've brought their battleships.

However, Gabriel didn't worry. He could already feel that he was close to his destination!

In the Capital City of the Nether Realm, it was already the middle of the night.

A beautiful red moon could be seen high in the clear sky where not a single cloud could be seen. The night was beautiful yet many people couldn't help but feel somewhat restless. They didn't understand why they felt that way either.

Near the Soul Land, Alion and Jia had already taken action! While Jia waited at the entrance of the area that led to the Soul Land, Alion turned into a shadow and completely disappeared into the darkness of the night as if he was nothing but an illusion!
