# Chapter 1864: Different Paths
On the land strewn with bones, several figures suddenly tore through the air, causing Green Lotus Commander and the others to raise their gazes. Soon, illusory figures appeared in the void.
"Green Lotus Commander, Black Rope Commander!" One of the illusory figures revealed a faint smile, looking at the two and saying, "Since Song Emperor City has arrived, all five factions are now present. Next, regarding the struggle for control of this hell, shouldn't we set some rules?"
"Since all four commanders are here, what rules do you wish to set?" Black Rope Commander asked.
"First, Nether Emperor level experts must not attack those at the Nether King realm. This consensus should be no problem, I assume," another person said slowly. Green Lotus Commander and Black Rope Commander both nodded slightly. This was naturally without issue. In the struggle for hell, although it was bloody and cruel, it was also a tempering of the legions. A hundred refinements forge an army; those eliminated must be elite and powerful figures. Of course, no matter how elite the figures, they could not withstand being erased across realms.
Therefore, in past struggles for hell, all factions had a consensus: those at the Nether Emperor realm must not attack Nether Kings. Otherwise, it would be a devastating disaster for any faction, and no one would gain any benefit.
Of course, sometimes there would be situations where killing intent ran red, leading to chaotic battles. In such cases, the bones would surely pile up like mountains.
"That is naturally no problem. Anything else?" Black Rope Commander asked.
"Divide into battle zones," a phantom figure spoke.
The experts of Song Emperor City understood that the other four factions had already reached a consensus. Wang Zhen asked, "How should they be divided?"
"Divide into three major battle zones: the Lower Nether King Battle Zone, the Mid Nether King Battle Zone, and the Upper Nether King Battle Zone. Our five factions will station legions in these three zones. We'll see who can ultimately rule. Those who cannot rule any of the three zones will be directly eliminated from the hell battlefield. If two or three factions rule, then the Nether Emperors will decide the ownership of hell. How about that?"
A voice rolled out. First, set up the Nether King battlefield. Among the five factions, at least two would be directly eliminated.
"How is 'ruling' defined? By killing the opponents cleanly? What is the time limit? And can reinforcements be added?" Wang Zhen asked again.
"As long as Song Emperor City can reach a consensus with us, we will immediately seal off the five major entrances and exits. Each faction will send people to supervise all entrances and exits. Naturally, reinforcements cannot be added. The time limit is three months. As for how to determine rule, it's simple. In the end, whoever has the advantage among the remaining people rules. If the other side is unconvinced, then let the remaining people directly use their lives to wage war. I believe that those at a disadvantage would not dare to quibble even if they wanted to. Of course, there is another prerequisite: Emperor realm experts can observe but are absolutely forbidden to act. Until it ends, no reason is acceptable. Also, Emperor weapons are absolutely prohibited. Violators will be jointly punished by all factions."
One person spoke. Who would dare to gamble with their own lives? As for Nether Emperor realm experts, they must be restricted. They could supervise but were not allowed to participate in any way, and were even forbidden to make a move.
Green Lotus Commander and Black Rope Commander exchanged glances, then looked at Wang Zhen.
"Wang Zhen, what do you think?" Black Rope Commander asked. This time, they were mainly assisting Wang Zhen, so naturally they had to listen to his opinion.
"It's acceptable," Wang Zhen nodded. Immediately, the five figures in the void nodded in succession, saying, "Good. From this moment, seal off this hell. Additionally, I have already divided the battlefield."
As the person spoke, beams of divine thought light flickered and shot toward Wang Zhen. Instantly, a massive map appeared in Wang Zhen's mind.
"This is a rough map of this hell. The territory is boundless. I have divided three battlefields. You should be able to see them," the person said, then continued, "Song Emperor City can now send five people, or more, to supervise the various entrances and exits."
"En," Wang Zhen nodded slightly. Immediately, the other four figures soared into the air. The five factions had reached a consensus on the struggle for control of hell.
Wang Zhen transmitted that strand of divine thought to Green Lotus Commander and Black Rope Commander, then said, "Two commanders, let's divide our personnel now, then lead our respective teams to the three battlefields."
"The central area is the Upper Nether King Battlefield. The Mid Nether King Battlefield is far from us, while the one close to Song Emperor City is the Lower Nether King Battlefield. We arrived last and might be schemed against, especially in the Mid Nether King Battlefield, which is close to Chu Jiang City. They were the first to discover the hell battlefield, so their personnel will definitely not be few, and they are likely all elites," Black Rope Commander analyzed.
"En, the Chu Jiang City battlefield can be appropriately abandoned," Green Lotus Commander agreed with Black Rope Commander's words, nodding slightly. That battlefield was closest to Chu Jiang City, so they would surely send strong troops to try to seize it.
"Abandon a major battlefield so easily? Since the two commanders thought of this, why didn't you mention it earlier?" Wang Zhen seemed somewhat displeased, a faint trace of dissatisfaction already in his tone.
"We arrived the latest and are already at a disadvantage. Moreover, the other four came together and had already reached a consensus. Do you think we could gain an advantage?" Black Rope Commander said coldly, causing Wang Zhen's expression to stiffen. He then restrained the displeasure on his face and said, "Black Rope Commander is right. I didn't think it through. However, in the two commanders' opinion, which battlefield can we take? Is it too late to add reinforcements now?"
"It's too late. The other side has clearly already made arrangements. I'm afraid their people have already reached our entrances and exits and sealed them off. If we force our way in or out, it would be a violation. However, this time, my daughter Qin Yao and niece Qingqing are both here. In the Lower Nether King realm, we have a chance to compete," Black Rope Commander said, then added, "It's a pity that Lin Feng has already entered the Mid Nether King realm. Otherwise, the hope in the Lower Nether King realm would be even greater."
Lin Feng's combat power was formidable, but having just entered the Mid Nether King realm, he couldn't play much of a role in that battlefield.
"Lin Feng's cultivation concealment is excellent. He can suppress his power to the Lower Nether King realm without anyone knowing," Wang Zhuo spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said, "I'll go to the Mid Nether King Battlefield."
"Let's divide the personnel, then split up and act," Wang Zhen didn't want to waste time, separating the personnel by the three realms.
"For the Upper Nether King realm, I'll command this Nether King legion. For the Mid Nether King realm, Wang Zhuo, you'll be in charge. As for the Lower Nether King battlefield, I'll leave it to Qin Yao and Qingqing."
After assigning the personnel, Wang Zhen spoke again. Then everyone began to separate. Green Lotus Commander led people to the farthest Mid Nether King Battlefield, Black Rope Commander led people to the middle Upper Nether King Battlefield, and Wang Zhen guarded the Lower Nether King Battlefield, which was their area.
This hell was very complete in its evolution, far more so than the small world where the Eight Wastelands and Nine Nether were located. The people below were also very powerful, and the territory was vast and boundless.
As a Nether Emperor, Green Lotus Commander's speed was astonishing. Even carrying everyone on a green lotus, it took an entire day to reach the Mid Nether King Battlefield.
"Green Lotus Commander, now that we've penetrated deep into this battlefield, leave the rest to me. Send them to supervise the entrances and exits," Wang Zhuo and the others arrived at an open area and said to Green Lotus Commander.
"Alright, Wang Zhuo, before you understand the enemy's strength, it's best not to split up. If you really can't take this battlefield, then abandon it directly. And take care of Lin Feng for me," Green Lotus Commander reminded.
"I understand," Wang Zhuo nodded slightly. "Lin Feng has outstanding talent. I'll try to keep him from participating in battle. Commander, rest assured and go."
"En." Green Lotus Commander nodded slightly, then left with a few people. Wang Zhuo and the others descended on their own.
"Shouldn't we first remove the armor?" Lin Feng said to Wang Zhuo. Wang Zhuo looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "Why?"
"The target is too obvious. We don't know the enemy's situation now. Perhaps the enemy is right beside us without us knowing," Lin Feng said.
"People beside us? I won't let them threaten us," Wang Zhuo revealed a smile, landing at a palace below. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as he said, "Wipe them all out. This will serve as our temporary base."
Lin Feng's expression stiffened as he looked at Wang Zhuo and said, "What is the meaning of this?"
"How can I let others threaten our existence? Since these people could all be spies, they must all be killed," Wang Zhuo said coldly. "Kill."
"Yes!" The crowd's figures flickered as they pounced toward the palace. Moments later, the sound of killing shook the heavens. Lin Feng watched below, his expression stiff. Although the martial path was cruel and merciless, with slaughter everywhere, killing people on a whim... this Wang Zhuo's heart was too venomous. Looking at the faint smile on his face, Lin Feng felt a chill.
"Lin Feng, do you think I'm wrong?" Wang Zhuo asked, seeing Lin Feng's look of surprise.
Lin Feng was silent, but Wang Zhuo said, "Your talent is strong, but you're a bit too soft-hearted. On the martial path, there is no mercy. Killing some people from small worlds, what does it matter?"
"Different paths, no common goals!" Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then spat out a cold voice. He turned and flickered away, causing Wang Zhuo's gaze to freeze, staring at Lin Feng and saying, "What do you mean by this?"
"I will stay on this battlefield and do my part," Lin Feng said indifferently. But Wang Zhuo's expression turned cold: "I promised Green Lotus Commander to protect your safety. If you insist on leaving, don't blame me."
"My life and death have nothing to do with you!" Lin Feng's icy voice rang out as he distanced himself, causing a trace of killing intent to flash in Wang Zhuo's eyes.
