Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252: Heading to the Nine Netherworld Underworld! (4/4)
Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?
Upon hearing the words of the elder in yellow, whether it was Blackie and his two companions or the thirty mystical imperial guards above, all were momentarily stunned.
Only Xin Hongyi and Zi Shan were somewhat puzzled.
This made Xin Hongyi curiously ask, “Elder, what is the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?”
Standing next to Xin Hongyi, a mystical imperial guard solemnly said, “The Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace… strictly speaking, cannot be considered as just one power, because it exists in all the realms.”
All realms?
Xin Hongyi was shocked.
So, it exists not only in The Mortal Realm, the Immortal Realm, but also in the Nefarious Demon Region?
“The Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace governs reincarnation. Unless one’s soul is completely destroyed or reincarnated through some special secret technique, the soul after death will enter the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace to undergo reincarnation…”
Governs reincarnation…
Xin Hongyi stared intensely at Mu Fusheng and his two companions, one of them, was actually the heir to such a terrifying existence?
This was rather preposterous…
Xin Hongyi asked, “May I know which one among them is the heir you mentioned?”
The elder in yellow remained silent, only glancing at Blackie.
Seeing this, Xin Hongyi’s expression changed drastically, he hastily said, “This person is wanted by our demon god, Elder, could you possibly…”
But before he could finish…
The elder in the middle in yellow scoffed, “Demon god? The one from the Nefarious Demon Region, right? If he wants him, let him come personally!”
“Now, do you still wish to make a move? If you insist on fighting regardless of life or death to snatch him away, we don’t mind sending you into reincarnation… Rest assured, the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace won’t favor any who enter reincarnation, we won’t stop you from being reincarnated just because you offended us.”
Upon hearing this, Xin Hongyi’s expression turned ugly.
One of the mystical imperial guards, with a solemn face, said, “Hongyi, let’s leave now, report back to the demon god later, he will understand.”
After all, even if the demon god and the Evil Lord himself came, they probably wouldn’t be able to fare well against the hands of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.
Moreover, they knew that among the realms within The Mortal Realm, the Low-Latitude Realm was the lowest, and the Wilderness Region appeared to be the bottommost layer within this Low Latitude Realm.
Thus, the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace here… likely belonged to the most powerful in The Mortal Realm.
Xin Hongyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Then let’s go.”
Having said that, Xin Hongyi glanced once more at Mu Fusheng and his two companions, then left with the mystical imperial guards and Zi Shan.
As these people departed, the suppressive power that had enveloped the entire Wilderness Region completely dissipated.
All the people in the Wilderness Region stood up, exhaling deeply.
Although they did not know who had saved them, they still bowed toward the center of the formation.
Qin Tiannan, looking in that direction, couldn’t help but smile, “Could it be those rascals have returned?”
Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng also exchanged smiles, “If the sect leader has returned, why hasn’t he come to see us?”
“What a carefree hands-off manager he is!”
…
At this moment.
Blackie, along with Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng, stepped forward and bowed to the three elders in yellow, “Thank you, elders, for your rescue.”
All three elders nodded slightly, then focused their gaze on Blackie, saying, “You are the chosen one of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace from the high-latitude region, right?”
Blackie nodded, “Yes.”
“In that case, come with us to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.”
To the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?
Now?
Blackie said anxiously, “Elder, is it possible to delay for some days? Right now, the Mortal Realm is still engaged in a major battle with the Nefarious Demon Region. If I leave at this time, I fear it might be inappropriate…”
“Inappropriate?” One of the elders in yellow chuckled lightly and said, “Do you think with your current strength, you can influence the outcome of the battle between the two sides?”
Blackie fell silent.
“Moreover, the battle for the heir of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace has already started. Are you sure you don’t want to participate?”
If it were any other contender, the three elders in yellow might have left immediately after making such a statement, not bothering to listen further.
But Blackie’s identity was too special.
This was the person whom someone in the Underworld Palace had specifically mentioned to keep an eye on…
Blackie hesitated for a moment, then asked, “If I go to participate in the battle for the heir, can the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace assist me by sending troops?”
One of the elders chuckled lightly and said, “It’s only the first round of the competition for the heir; the second round hasn’t been scheduled yet. With your current status, that’s impossible.”
“After all, the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace never permits participation in such large-scale fate-changing wars.”
The great war between the Mortal Realm, Immortal Realm, and Nefarious Demon Region involves how many lives, how many powers?
“Even if you succeed in becoming the Underworld Lord, you could only mobilize resources. Of course, you can’t openly send out a large number of people…”
Well… Simply put, once you become the Underworld Lord after emerging victorious among the many contenders, you can engage in some covert operations, as long as the external world doesn’t know about the Underworld Palace’s involvement.
But with Blackie’s current status, he still couldn’t get the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace to do such a thing for him.
Blackie thought for a moment, glanced at Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng, then looked firmly at the three elders in yellow and said, “Then I shall abandon my status as a contender. I cannot accept that while my brothers are fighting to the death on the frontline, I hide in the back.”
Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng could only smile helplessly. But if it were them, they probably would have made the same choice…
Now is a moment of life or death for the Mortal Realm, and he was to participate in the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace’s struggle for the Underworld Lord… What would that amount to?
The three elders in yellow were slightly stunned, also feeling a shock in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, someone would give up the position of heir to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace for this reason.
This also made the three elders feel somewhat anxious.
This won’t do… This was the person specially designated by that one!
If he gave up the position, they might have to retire early and enter reincarnation for rebirth…
Just as the three of them were about to say something.
Blackie suddenly started, as he heard Lu Changsheng’s voice in his mind.
“Go, it will be beneficial and harmless to you, don’t worry about this side.”
After all, this was also what Lu Changsheng had promised the person from the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.
He was to find them a heir for the Underworld Lord.
Upon hearing this, Blackie then nodded and said, “I’ll go with you.”
The three elders were pleased, yet puzzled at the same time.
What’s the matter, changing his mind so quickly?
Could it be that someone had secretly enlightened him?
But if that was the case, how could they not have detected even a hint of it?
Could it really just be a small phoenix hidden in the shadows?
Forget it… As long as the outcome is good.
Thinking this, the three elders nodded and said, “Come with us.”
Having said that, they then disappeared from the spot with Blackie.
Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng exchanged glances, then said with a wry smile, “Then let’s return to the ancient battlefield and report these matters.”
