23 Underworld
Night covered the entire world with its darkness, night life just started as the city was filled with noises.
In a dark alley, one can see a silhouette of a woman decapitating the head of a man with just her hand.
It was Ming Yue!
She turned her head and stare in another woman's direction.
" How's your injury?"
Ming Yue asked, still looking at the bloodied woman. The woman is wary but she is thankful to this unknown woman who saved her from her death. She thought her end was near but here she was, still alive, though heavily injured.
"Just some broken bones and small cuts, anything's fine."
Ming Yue nodded and approached the currently weak-looking woman and help her stand up. The woman looked at her benefactor's face but can only see her dark brown colored eyes, which seems to be a contact lenses. Then her eyes widened a bit.
"My brother!"
Her always calm voice rised a little, remembering her younger brother, which was brought out by her personal guard by the encirclement.
Ming Yue sighed seeing the clear worries in the woman's eyes.
'I think I cannot complete my little mission now.'
She thought and bring the woman into the direction of which the guard brought the young boy. After a couple of minutes, they have seen a dozens of corpses ahead. Ming Yue sensed the woman's body tremble a bit so she sped up and brought the woman to it. The woman staggered as she walked into the direction of one of the bodies. Tears welled up on her eyes, withholding it and checked the body's pulse.
'He's still alive!'
She beamed, tears silently falls while she hugged his little brother.
Ming Yue, who is looking in the back watched this scene with calm expression, but her heart softens at the sight of it.
"Your brother needs an immediate treatment."
Ming Yue said, awakening the woman in her happinesses, worry and relief.

Bai Xiu Lan stares at the familiar yet unfamiliar place in front of her.
A place filled with dangers, bloodthirstiness and terrifying and ice cold aura.
This is...
The Underworld.
Where killers and criminals reside.
Underworld, is a place as huge as continents itself, every continents has an Underworld. It is basically the other world that exists below the ground of our known society. The Underworld is not any different to the world above. Arinea Underworld is currently controlled by an Emperor of Wang Imperial Family, Wang Hou.
Vendors are selling different kinds of things beside the road.
And also big shops selling jewelries and clothes for women and different kinds of weapons for both men and women.
But don't underestimate those street vendors, people who can manage to enter and get a citizenship in this kind of place is not ordinary or people. 'The Palace' is one of the 'entrance' of the Underworld of Arinea. All Bai Xiu Lan knows is about the basic information about the Underworld through Fan Zhang Ai. She knows that Underworld has it's own cities and provinces, which is also governed by a City Mayors. However, she did not know what City she is currently standing.
The Underworld retained the the rules, culture and the atmosphere of the Ancients, it's like Bai Xiu Lan have come back to the past. Her memories of her past life gushed like a surging waves. The memories of her Master Bloody Rose, family and even her husband Emperor.
It took a minute before she comes back to her senses.
'It's in the past now.'
She looked and search around with her spirit force but she can't find the spirit signal owned by Kang Le. Every practitioner of spirit force have their own spirit signal, everyone have their own and cannot be altered or change as spirit force is strongly connected to your soul. Spirit force practitioner can also detect those who do not practice, as long as they put a mark on that individual. One cannot also ask around as she didn't know Kang Le's influence in Underworld, it might arouse him.
'Then I'll investigate first.'
Bai Xiu Lan thought, it is her first time coming here, so it's better to explore first.

On the North Eastern side of the Underworld, one can find a large Colosseum standing proudly. It is the place for those who want to watch bloody and intense fights, for those who wants to gain quick money as well as those who want to clear their grudges, as dark as the Underworld can be, there is still rules to follow, one cannot kill, unless in colosseum. An iron smell permeate the air but those people do not mind it as they cheers for their chosen fighter. Currently, two strong and powerful men are fighting with all their might. Exchanging lethal moves from time to time. In the end, the man with smaller build was thrown into the stage by his opponent, his body deformed and devoid of any breath, his bones showing from his flesh while a group of people with pain written on their faces carry his corpse out of the Colosseum.
The crowd cheers, shouting the winner's name.
"Breaker! Breaker!"
"Breaker! Breaker!"
"Breaker! Breaker!"
The winner called Breaker is a very tall man, almost seven feet tall, his entire body is filled with muscles that can shatter bones. He is a bald man with tattoos all over his body except his face. He is called as 'Breaker' because he loves to destroy his opponent's bones. The audience shout even louder after he blew a kiss to them.
The host of the Colosseum is a man wearing a professional suit and tie, who is looking amiable with his smile. He go up to stage and congratulate Breaker which earned another cheers from the crowd.
"Congratulations to our fighter, Breaker for winning his last battle for tonight! Let's hear what message he wants to send you guys."
He said, handing the microphone to Breaker, which he refused. Breaker instead looked into the audience and grinned playfully.
"Those who want to challenge me, come out now!"
Breaker's voice boomed inside the Colosseum, making the blood of the audience boiled, thinking of another fight, their faces reddened with blush.
"Aha! Our fighter Breaker still accepts a challenge! Anyone?!"
The host asked while looking at the excited audience.
"Can I challenge you?"
A feminine voice said softly, yet her voice seems to travel in the whole Colosseum as everyone inside heard it, making them silent.
