The Nine Nether Underworld?!
Upon hearing the words of the old man in yellow, both Xiao Hei and his two companions, as well as the thirty Devious Arts Imperial Guard above, were taken aback.
Only Xin Hongyi and Zi Shan seemed puzzled.
This prompted Xin Hongyi to ask curiously, "Senior, what kind of force is the Nine Nether Underworld?"
Standing beside Xin Hongyi, a member of the Devious Arts Imperial Guard said solemnly, " The Nine Nether Underworld... strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a force, since the Nine Nether Underworld exists in every realm."
It exists in all realms?!
Xin Hongyi was horrified.
So, does this mean it's not just in the Mortal Realm, but also in the Immortal Realm and the Evil Devil Domain?
" The Nine Nether Underworld governs reincarnation. Unless one's soul and spirit are completely annihilated, or one is reborn through a special Secret Method, the soul after death will enter the Nine Nether Underworld to undergo reincarnation..."
In charge of reincarnation...
Xin Hongyi stared intently at Mu Fusheng and his two companions. Could one of them actually be the heir to such a terrifying existence?
This is just too outrageous...
Xin Hongyi asked, "I wonder which successor you are referring to, senior?"
The old man in yellow didn't speak, but only glanced at Xiao Hei.
Upon seeing this, Xin Hongyi's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "This person is wanted by our Devil God, senior, could you...?"
But he hadn't finished speaking.
The old man in yellow in the middle sneered, " Devil God? That guy from the Evil Devil Domain, is he? If he wants it, let him come himself!"
"Now, do you still want to make a move? If you insist on seizing it despite the risks, we won't hesitate to send you into reincarnation... Rest assured, the Nine Nether Underworld will not favor anyone who enters reincarnation, and we will not prevent you from being reborn just because you have defied us."
Upon hearing this, Xin Hongyi's expression turned ugly.
One of the Devious Arts Imperial Guard said with a solemn expression, " Hongyi, let's leave now. We can report to His Devil God later; he will understand."
After all, even if both the Devil God and the Evil Lord came at the same time, they probably wouldn't fare well against the Nine Nether Underworld.
Furthermore, they also knew that in the Mortal Realm, the Low-Latitude Realm were located at the very bottom, and the Wilderness Realm seemed to be the lowest level among these Low-Latitude Realm.
So this Nine Nether Underworld... is probably the strongest in the Mortal Realm.
Xin Hongyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Let's go then."
After saying that, Xin Hongyi glanced at Mu Fusheng and the other two again, then left with the Devious Arts Imperial Guard and Zi Shan.
With the departure of these people, the suppressive force that had enveloped the entire Wilderness Realm also completely disappeared.
Everyone in the Wilderness Realm stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although they didn't know who had saved them, they still bowed towards the center of the formation.
Qin Tiannan looked over there and couldn't help but laugh, "Is it those brats who're back?"
Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng exchanged a smile, "If the sect leader has returned, why doesn't he come back to take a look?"
"Being a hands-off boss is so carefree!"
now.
Xiao Hei, Mu Fusheng, and Shi Sheng stepped forward and bowed to the three elderly men in yellow, saying, "Thank you for saving us, seniors."
The three elders all nodded, then focused their gaze on Xiao Hei, saying, "You are the chosen one from the Nine Nether Underworld of the High-Latitude Realm, aren't you?"
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "Yes."
"In that case, you shall come with us to the Nine Nether Underworld."
A trip to the Nine Nether Underworld?
Now?
Xiao Hei said anxiously, "Senior, could we postpone this for a while? Our Mortal Realm is still in the midst of a great war with the Evil Devil Domain. If I leave now, it might not be appropriate..."
"Improper?" One of the elders in yellow robes chuckled and said, "Do you think you have the strength to influence the outcome of the battle between the two sides?"
Xiao Hei remained silent.
"Besides, the battle for the succession to the Nine Nether Underworld has already begun. Are you sure you don't want to participate?"
If it were any other successor, the three yellow-robed elders would probably have simply turned and left after saying such a thing, ignoring them completely.
However, Xiao Hei's identity was too special.
This is someone from the Underworld who personally said they needed to pay special attention to...
Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If I participate in the succession battle, will the Nine Nether Underworld assist me in sending troops?"
One of the elders chuckled and said, "This is only the first round of the succession struggle. The date for the second round hasn't been set yet, and given your current status, it's impossible."
"After all, the Nine Nether Underworld would never allow participation in such a large-scale war to alter fate."
The great war between the Mortal Realm, the immortal Immortal Realm, and the Evil Devil Domain —how many lives, how many forces, were involved?
Even if you successfully ascend to the position of Nether Lord, you can only mobilize resources; of course, you can't openly send out a large number of people...
Well... to put it simply, once you become the Nether Lord and win over the many successors, you can engage in some underhanded dealings, as long as the outside world doesn't know that the Nine Nether Underworld has taken action.
However, given Xiao Hei's current status, he cannot get the Nine Nether Underworld to do such a thing for him.
Xiao Hei thought for a moment, then glanced at Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng, before looking at the three yellow-robed elders again and firmly saying, "Then I will give up the identity of heir. I cannot accept that while my senior brothers and junior brothers are fighting to the death on the front lines, I am hiding in the rear."
Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng smiled helplessly, but if they were in their shoes, they probably would have made the same choice...
Now is a time of life and death for the Mortal Realm, and he's going to participate in the battle for the title of Nether Lord of the Nine Nether Underworld... What kind of nonsense is this?
The three elderly men in yellow robes were slightly taken aback, and were also startled.
Unexpectedly, someone would actually give up their status as heir to the Nine Nether Underworld for this.
This made the three elderly men somewhat anxious.
No way... this is the person personally selected by him!
If they were to voluntarily relinquish their identities, the three of them would probably have to retire early and enter the cycle of reincarnation...
Just as the three were about to say something...
Xiao Hei suddenly froze, and Lu Changsheng's voice appeared in his mind.
"Go ahead, it will only benefit you. Don't worry about things here."
After all, this was something Lu Changsheng had promised that person from the Nine Nether Underworld.
They need to find them a successor to the Nether Lord.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
The three elderly men were both pleased and puzzled.
What happened? Why did you change your mind so quickly?
Could it be that someone secretly gave him a heads-up?
But if that's the case, how could they not have detected even the slightest hint of anything?
So, a little Phoenix was hiding in the shadows?
Oh well... at least the result was good.
Thinking this through, the three old men nodded and said, "Come with us."
After saying that, he disappeared with Xiao Hei.
Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng exchanged a glance and said with a wry smile, "Then let's go back to the Ancient Battlefield and report these matters."
