"Hmm?" The young man frowned as he looked at Xiao Chong and Bai Po.
"Lord Yama! I discovered this Flower of Reincarnation first. I found two black wolf demon beasts guarding it, so I went back to gather my brothers and men. On the way, I met Xiao Chong and his wife. Since we were on good terms, I casually mentioned it to them. Unexpectedly, this led them to the Flower of Reincarnation. However, their strength was limited, and they only managed to kill one black wolf demon beast. Just as the other black wolf demon beast was about to kill them, we appeared and scared it away. We were able to collect the Flower of Reincarnation. I never expected that these two would be such despicable people. Not only did they secretly collect the rare treasures we found, but they also showed no gratitude for our later life-saving grace and instead framed us..." Seeing this, Tong Niu was shocked and quickly said.
"Indeed, indeed, it is quite obvious that their strength is simply insufficient to kill the two black wolf demon beasts. I implore Your Majesty to see the truth!"
"Lord Yama, do not believe their words! They are utterly despicable!"
The group of men behind the bronze bull also hurriedly spoke up.
"You...you actually turned black into white..." Xiao Chong said, both shocked and furious, upon hearing Tong Niu and his group's words.
“Lord Yama, although my wife and I did hear about the Flower of Reincarnation from them, they deliberately spread it, and they didn’t reveal the exact location…” Xiao Chong then quickly bowed to the young man again and said repeatedly.
"Hmph!" However, before Xiao Chong could finish speaking, the young man snorted coldly and shouted, "Shut up!"
"Bang!"
As he spoke, a powerful domain force rose from the young man, quickly enveloping Xiao Chong and Bai Po, causing them to shudder and stagger back several steps, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
The previous battle had already left them severely injured, and the shockwave from this domain power only exacerbated their injuries.
Naturally, Xiao Chong's words were also interrupted.
"Lord Yama..." Xiao Chong exclaimed in shock.
To his utter surprise, his actions angered Lord Yama, which filled him with dread. They had already been tricked by the Bronze Bull and his gang, and their fates were uncertain. They had thought that Lord Yama might be their only chance to turn the tide.
Unexpectedly, this Lord Yama reacted in such a way, which made him feel utterly disheartened.
Could it be that he and Bai Po are doomed to fail this time?
On the other side, the Bronze Bull and his group were delighted to see this. Lord Yama had not punished them, but instead punished the other party. Did this mean that Lord Yama also approved of them?
However, they didn't dare say another word, but bowed even more deeply.
They had heard Lord Yama's reprimand of Xiao Chong, and it was clear that Lord Yama disliked their arguing and even their conversation.
“Brother Chong…” At this moment, Bai Po stepped forward and tugged at Xiao Chong’s sleeve, whispering.
This Lord Yama was clearly impatient with them. If Xiao Chong were to say anything more, he would only anger him further. This kind of important figure didn't want to hear their explanations or uphold justice for anyone; he simply didn't want to cause trouble.
In the past, in the realm of living beings, in that universe of living beings, their strength and status were not low. Bai Po had seen too many things like this.
"I don't know the rules of the living realm where you originally lived! But let me tell you, in the Netherworld, the strong are respected! I don't care who discovered this Flower of Reincarnation first, or who obtained it first. Now, this group of ghost cultivators has handed it to me, so I consider this Flower of Reincarnation to be theirs! I hope you understand this principle!" The young man glanced coldly at Xiao Chong and Bai Po and said slowly.
"Yes, Lord Yama..." Hearing the young man's words, Xiao Chong looked disgusted, but had no choice but to reply in a low voice, feeling resentful.
"Yeah?"
However, at that moment, a faint voice echoed through the space.
call!
At the same time, a spatial fluctuation appeared not far away, and a young man appeared.
"who?"
"How dare you interrupt Lord Yama!"
The group of ghost cultivators led by the Bronze Bull suddenly turned around and looked at the place where the spatial fluctuations were occurring, and they all shouted angrily.
It was as if the other party had just interrupted them.
"Hmm?" The young man also looked up, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the boy who had appeared.
The moment the boy appeared, he didn't sense any major commotion, which made him subconsciously think that the other party's strength was likely not simple.
However, he didn't care too much. He was one of the Ten Kings of Hell, second only to the Nine Emperors among all the powerful ghost cultivators in the entire Netherworld. Apart from the Nine Emperors, he didn't need to be afraid of any of the other Ten Kings of Hell.
"Brother Lin... Brother Lin?"
"Lin Yun?"
On the other side, Xiao Chong and Bai Po also saw the newcomers. They stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
Since arriving in the Netherworld, they have witnessed much. They already know how ignorant they were in their previous lives, like frogs in a well. They realize how vast this world truly is!
It turns out that the universe they once inhabited was actually so tiny!
Their original strength was insignificant. There were as many powerful beings in the Netherworld as stars in the sky, no, even more. Compared to them, their strength, whether in life or now, was far too negligible!
They never expected to run into Lin Yun here!
Even if Lin Yun perishes, his soul may not necessarily enter the Netherworld. Even if his soul enters the Netherworld, it may not necessarily escape from the River of Reincarnation. Even if it escapes from the River of Reincarnation, they may not necessarily meet!
They thought that they might never meet those friends from their past lives again in this lifetime!
Entering the Netherworld also means perishing in the realm of living beings, and they don't really want that to happen!
Now that they suddenly see Lin Yun here, how could they not be surprised?
Meeting a friend in the Netherworld, especially a very good friend, surprised Xiao Chong, who quickly became excited. However, he soon became fearful, hurriedly running to Lin Yun's side, grabbing Lin Yun's arm, and looking at the young man, he said in a panic, "Please forgive me, Lord Yama! My friend has just entered the Netherworld and doesn't know the rules. He didn't mean to offend you, Lord Yama! Please forgive him! I will definitely teach him a lesson later!"
He thought that Lin Yun might have entered the Netherworld not long ago, and happened to encounter them, witness this incident, see him and Bai Po being bullied by other ghost cultivators, and then stand up to reason with them.
However, Lin Yun was probably new to the Netherworld and not very clear about the power divisions there. Little did he know that the opponent's strength far surpassed theirs, far surpassing the strongest experts they had ever heard of in their previous lives.
The other party is right, the strong rule!
In fact, this is true not only in the underworld, but in many places!
Their opponent's strength far surpasses theirs. If they anger them, the opponent can kill them in an instant, and no powerful person will speak up for them.
Lin Yun is incredibly talented and powerful, and his youthful impetuosity, coupled with his act of standing up for them, make his actions unsurprising. However, he cannot help but apologize to the other party on Lin Yun's behalf. Perhaps their fate is now uncertain, but he doesn't want to let go of any chance of survival.
"Brother Lin, he is one of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Netherworld, a top expert in the entire Netherworld, with terrifying strength. You should quickly bow to him and apologize, hoping he can forgive us and let us go!" At the same time, Xiao Chong anxiously transmitted his voice to Lin Yun.
"Oh?" The young man suddenly realized what Xiao Chong was saying.
He said that he had never seen this boy before, nor did he sense any powerful aura emanating from him. Since he interrupted, he probably knew from their conversation that he was one of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Netherworld.
If that's the case, then the person who dared to say such things to him must either be highly skilled and daring, or they must have some kind of confidence.
It turned out to be a little fellow who had just entered the Netherworld and had little experience.
The Netherworld absorbs countless souls from the realms of living beings. Many of these souls held extremely high positions of power and influence in their respective realms of living beings before they entered the Netherworld. However, upon entering the Netherworld, they are often unaware of its conditions or have not yet adjusted their mindset, which often leads to their unusual behavior.
Such things are all too common in the Netherworld, especially since this is the land of reincarnation, where many souls have just emerged from the River of Reincarnation and know almost nothing about the Netherworld.
With that in mind, the young man stopped wondering about the boy's origins.
"How dare you! You actually speak to Lord Yama like that!"
"They really don't know their own limitations!"
"Just entered the Netherworld? That's no excuse for you to be so disrespectful to Lord Yama! Let me teach you how to be a ghost in the Netherworld!"
At this moment, the group of ghost cultivators led by the Bronze Bull on the other side were all furious. In their words, they all fawned over the young man and flattered him. One of the ghost cultivators even rushed forward to attack Lin Yun.
Who in this world doesn't like being flattered?
As the saying goes, excessive politeness is never a fault, and the same applies to flattery. As long as it is done well and naturally, there will generally be no problem. If the other party does not like it, it is not because they dislike being flattered, but because the flattery was not done correctly!
Who is Lord Yama? One of the top powerhouses in the entire Netherworld! If they flatter him and gain his favor, they might rise to great heights!
Naturally, these ghost cultivators wouldn't let this opportunity slip by!
Seeing this, the young man's lips curled up slightly, but he did not stop him. A little guy who had just entered the Netherworld dared to speak to him so rudely; he certainly deserved to be punished.
But for a top expert in the Netherworld, one of the Ten Kings of Hell, it would be beneath him to personally deal with a mere newcomer to the Netherworld.
Undoubtedly, having these ghost cultivators help him is a good option.
On the other side, seeing their companion attack the boy, the other ghost cultivators were filled with regret, lamenting their lack of decisiveness and failure to act first, thus losing an opportunity to appear before Lord Yama.
Since the ghost cultivator had already made a move, they couldn't very well join in. He was just a minor ghost cultivator who had just entered the Netherworld. Their companion should be able to handle him. If they attacked all at once in a chaotic manner, it might annoy Lord Yama, which would be a loss.
The ghost cultivator who made the move was also extremely excited; he had seen Lord Yama's expression as well.
This is his chance to shine.
"Lin Yun, be careful!" Xiao Chong said, both shocked and angry. He hadn't expected that these ghost cultivators would dare to attack directly in front of that Yama, the King of Hell.
"boom!"
At that moment, he no longer cared about anything. A surge of domain power rose from his body, and at the same time, he quickly launched an attack towards the ghost cultivator who had attacked Lin Yun.
In Xiao Chong's view, Lin Yun had just entered the Netherworld and his strength was probably not strong. He might not be able to withstand the attack of this ghost cultivator. Therefore, he had to step in to block it for Lin Yun.
After all, Lin Yun was his good friend, and it was only because he stood up for him and Bai Po that he ended up in this situation.
He couldn't just leave Lin Yun to fend for himself, no matter what.
"You dare!"
"How dare you—"
The group of ghost cultivators led by the Bronze Bull all brightened up and shouted loudly.
They all knew something about Xiao Chong's strength, and since Xiao Chong also joined the attack, their companion might not be able to handle it. Thus, their opportunity had arrived.
"boom!"
However, before they could finish speaking, their voices abruptly stopped. Their companion, who was making the move, exploded and vanished into nothingness.
It seemed like a single blow would completely annihilate them...
"What?"
"Is Xiao Chong's strength really that terrifying?"
The group of ghost cultivators, including the Bronze Bull, were all horrified.
Their companion, while not the strongest among them, was still quite powerful. To kill him in one blow—how terrifying must Xiao Chong's strength be? They'd probably be in trouble if they went up against him!
For a moment, they all stopped in their tracks, not daring to go any further!
"What?"
Seeing the immense power of his attack, Xiao Chong was startled and exclaimed in surprise.
His body was seriously injured, and this attack was barely managed. It was absolutely impossible for a single strike to have such great power.
"Brother Lin?"
Xiao Chong quickly realized what was happening, and he turned around abruptly to look at Lin Yun, his face filled with shock.
The attack just now wasn't his doing, but Lin Yun's.
Lin Yun has only just entered the Netherworld, yet he already possesses such terrifying strength?
He was shocked, excited, and happy for Lin Yun, but then he became very worried. If this hadn't happened, Lin Yun would have possessed such great strength so soon after entering the Netherworld, his future would have been limitless.
However, they have now offended that Lord Yama, and if he takes it to heart, they might all die here.
"Brother Lin, you must apologize to that Lord Yama immediately. His strength is such that even a million or tens of millions of fourth-level super experts working together would not be a match for him. You must not make a mistake..." Thinking this, Xiao Chong hurriedly transmitted his voice to Lin Yun again, saying anxiously.
He was afraid that Lin Yun would provoke that Lord Yama again because of his strength, and he was also afraid that Lin Yun was unaware of the power of the various powerful figures in the Netherworld, so he explained the other party's strength to Lin Yun.
He wasn't particularly clear about the different levels of the Saintly Realm, so this was the only way he could describe it.
Super strong individuals are already top-tier beings in their realm of beings. A million or even tens of millions of fourth-level super strong individuals joining forces would be an absolutely terrifying force.
But Xiao Chong knew that the other party truly possessed such immense power, and that it was no weaker than the other.
However, Lin Yun remained calm, placing one hand on Xiao Chong's shoulder while simultaneously sending out a gentle spiritual energy to reassure Xiao Chong and Bai Po. Lin Yun then looked at the young man in front of him and said indifferently, "Lord Yama? What a magnificent presence!"
