Foothold No . 1A13, Nirvana City in Division 1 was where Misery’s headquarters was located .
The tallest building in the entire Division 1, the Sky Pagoda, was in this foothold .
The 999-story Sky Pagoda was over 3,000 meters high . It stood tall in the central zone of the entire foothold with the building penetrating into the sky .
Although it was an underground organization’s headquarters, many tourists would visit this place every year . The adventurous ones might even visit more than one foothold under the jurisdiction of the underground organization . In reality, they knew very well that the safety in those footholds where the underground organization headquarters were was not as lackadaisical compared to the Union Government .
Safety would affect the number of residents directly which, in turn, would affect the number of investors . The number of investors would make or break the economy of a foothold .
Therefore, the footholds where the underground organization’s headquarters were based would usually be bearable . At least, it was for the commoners on the surface .
Even most of the underground organizations welcomed tourists to visits their footholds because tourism made good money . The effect also spilled over to many other businesses which was beneficial for the foothold’s economy .
Nirvana City was one of the underground organization’s footholds that was considered wealthy in tourism .
The Sky Pagoda was the highest artificial building in Division 1, and it attracted many tourists each year . Misery even made the areas around the Sky Pagoda into tourism zones with all sorts of amenities .
At the moment, an elevator containing many tourists was rising from the foot of Sky Pagoda .
The Sky Pagoda was an attraction not to be missed when one visited Nirvana City . All the tourists flocked to it .

Almost all of the ten or so tourists in the elevator were snapping videos and photos .
A little boy of seven or eight pulled his father’s hand all of a sudden . “Dad, look! Someone’s flying over there!”
His exclamation drew many people’s attention, so they looked where he was pointing .
A silhouette to the right of the elevator was flying high at a speed tens of times faster than the elevator .
“It’s a transcendent!” someone exclaimed out loud .
The elevator erupted into chaos all of a sudden . Many people began adjusting the angle of their cameras in an attempt to document this moment .
However, the silhouette soon disappeared into the clouds above .
“Dad, why is the transcendent flying above the pagoda?” piped up the little boy again .
The kid’s father looked pretty young . He was speechless from the question as he had no idea how to explain it .
At that moment, an uncle next to them said, “Kid, this Sky Pagoda has a total of 999 floors, but this elevator that we’re taking can only go to the 990th floor . We can’t access the last nine floors . I heard that the nine floors above are the headquarters office . The office area has no elevator, so you can only fly if you want to get in . The person who was flying should be a member of Misery . ”
As those tourists were talking about Misery’s headquarters, Lin Huang had passed through the clouds and arrived on the 999th floor of the Sky Pagoda .

“Why didn’t the Dynasty’s Master Emperor notify us about your arrival? We must roll out the red carpet . ” A deep male voice came from not far away just when Lin Huang stood still .
A man in a red robe walked out of the dark slowly . There were ten people in gray robes who followed behind him .
Lin Huang noticed that most of the 11 of them were glaring at him like an enemy while a minority of them had no expression on their faces . Meanwhile, the leader had a faint smile on his face .
Clearly, these people had heard about Ku Zhen, Jie Sha, and Zhi Lu’s death and knew that he would come .
“Didn’t you guys know that I was coming?” Lin Huang smirked and said to the person who was leading the group . He could sense that the person’s aura was nothing below the Master God’s clone of God Bless . He should be Misery’s leader .
Secretly, he observed the person . Both his height and features looked mediocre . He was one of those who looked inconspicuous if he were to be thrown into a crowd .
“Let me introduce myself . Your humble one is Zhi Ji . You can say that I’m Misery’s current abbot,” the red-robed man said calmly .
“Lin Huang from Dynasty . ” Lin Huang gave a simple introduction of his identity . He was sure that everyone knew who he was anyway .
“Master Emperor, you came alone . What a man,” Zhi Ji said while smiling lightly .
“You guys sent people to visit Dynasty, so I thought I’d visit Misery myself . It’s reciprocity, I guess,” Lin Huang replied .
“Let’s talk in the meeting room then . ” Zhi Ji gestured for Lin Huang to take a step forward .

Lin Huang did not decline the invitation and stepped out directly .
He had the Ninetails Lynx hiding in the alternate dimension and the Nightmare Tapir which had shrunk to hide in his sleeve anyway . The duo would fight if anything were to happen .
Everyone sat around the table after following Zhi Ji and Lin Huang into the meeting room . Zhi Ji sat at the main seat while Lin Huang sat across him .
A bald man in a gray robe served every one tea after they had settled in .
“Master Emperor, try this snow tea . I brought a few of these tea trees from a ruins over 500 years ago . They only sprout when it snows . I plucked this batch of tea leaves during the first snowfall half a month ago,” Zhi Ji introduced graciously .
Lin Huang picked up the teacup and took a sip . He was not afraid that the tea might be poisoned since he had Divine Fire in his body . As long as it could not kill a True God, anything could be refined with Divine Fire . Meanwhile, according to Zhi Lu and the rest’s memories, no poisoning techniques were found in the inheritance from the ruins .
The tea was sweet . Indeed, the tea leaves were considered the best Lin Huang had ever tried . It could almost compare with the batch of ancient tea the Union Government chief, Jiang Shan, had .
The people from Misery were surprised to see Lin Huang drink the tea without hesitation .
A few of them were waiting for Lin Huang to refuse the tea . They thought they would have a chance to tease Lin Huang . However, Lin Huang sipped it instantly, so their anticipation was short-lived . Some were a little pissed, so they held their heads down and refused to speak .
However, Zhi Ji remained calm since the beginning . He pretended as if nothing happened and told the story about the tea leaves .
Lin Huang was just as patient . He was chatting with Zhi Ji happily as though he was not there to seek trouble .
After a few cups of tea, Zhi Ji was done with his story . Lin Huang smirked slightly . “Now that we’ve drunk the tea and talked about other things, shall we get down to business?”
The atmosphere that was eased in the meeting room became heavy all of a sudden after everyone heard what Lin Huang said .
“Do you guys not want to know why I visit you?” Lin Huang looked at Zhi Ji and smiled wryly .
“Lin Huang, you killed…” A bald hunk in a gray robe stood up all of a sudden . However, Zhi Ji applied pressure to his shoulder from far away before he could finish speaking .
“Sit down, Jie Se . ” Zhi Ji’s voice was soft . The bald hunk wanted to say something, but he held his head down upon seeing Zhi Ji’s expression . He dared not say anything .
Zhi Ji then looked at Lin Huang after stopping the bald hunk and continued smiling .
“Master Emperor, so what’s the purpose of you visiting us this time?”
Lin Huang smiled since they were finally on track .
“Zhi Lu gave Dynasty two options when he visited us this morning . One was to cancel the collaboration between Dynasty and the Union Government and dismiss ourselves as a neutral organization . The second choice was to eradicate Dynasty from this world entirely, sparing nobody’s lives .
“I’ll also give Misery two options now . One is to serve me unconditionally and become the second organization under me . The second is to be killed by me, sparing nobody’s lives!”
