"Oh no!" Seeing Lin Yun's reaction, Xiao Chong smiled bitterly to himself.
In the end, it was still not enough. Lin Yun actually said such words to that Lord Yama, which was almost a direct provocation.
What could possibly happen to such weaklings who dared to challenge such a powerful figure? Death, easily!
Oh well, anyway, they were already in a life-or-death situation this time. Being able to see Lin Yun, their good friend from their previous life, before they died was enough to put an end to a great regret.
Xiao Chong sighed inwardly.
Thinking this, Xiao Chong and Bai Po exchanged a glance, neither of them showing much regret, but rather a sense of relief.
If we include their lives in life, they have lived for countless years, and all sorts of adventures have made them mentally prepared for death. Moreover, the fact that they have stayed in the legendary underworld for so long after their death is already considered a bonus.
Although they endured hardship during this period, they each revealed their true selves, relied on each other for survival, and experienced the mindset of ordinary people that they had not experienced in their lives for a long time. It was a very meaningful time, and they had no regrets in this life.
If there's any regret, it's that Lin Yun's talent was wasted.
This was Xiao Chong's greatest regret at this moment. Lin Yun was the most talented cultivator he had ever seen, both in life and in death. Unfortunately, Lin Yun probably had no more time to continue growing.
Otherwise, Lin Yun would certainly have a bright future.
Xiao Chong harbored no resentment towards Lin Yun. He and Bai Po were already in a life-or-death situation, and Lin Yun had stood up for them. If he hadn't stood up for them, Lin Yun wouldn't have been in such a precarious situation.
If anyone owes anything, it's him and Bai Po who owe Lin Yun a huge favor, both in life and in death. How could they possibly blame Lin Yun? Besides, given their close relationship, how could it be said that anyone owes anyone anything?
It wasn't that Xiao Chong didn't believe in Lin Yun's strength, but rather that he was truly shocked after learning so much about the Netherworld. He and Bai Po had only been in the Netherworld for a short time, and even if Lin Yun had followed them in, how long had it been?
The flow of time in the Netherworld and the Realm of Living Beings differs greatly. The top experts in the Netherworld have cultivated for hundreds of billions, trillions, or even trillions of years. Even a pig could become very powerful after cultivating for that many years!
Moreover, those who can become top experts in the Netherworld are all exceptionally talented geniuses. They don't come from just one realm of beings, but from countless realms of beings. Add to that the innate ghost cultivators born in the Netherworld itself, and they are truly exceptionally talented!
In his opinion, Lin Yun's ability to completely annihilate that ghost cultivator in such a short time was already quite impressive, and he was far from being a match for a top expert from the Netherworld!
This is common sense.
Trust your friends, but don't blindly trust them, otherwise, they'd be a complete fool.
“Interesting…” The young man looked at Lin Yun, who had a calm expression, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
He didn't sense any aura from Lin Yun, but he wasn't too surprised. The Netherworld was connected to countless realms of living beings, and the souls of all kinds of living races could enter the Netherworld.
Among them, there may be some special races, such as those that can conceal their aura, and many that bring some of their abilities to the underworld after death.
In the young man's view, Lin Yun might be in this situation.
He could clearly sense the aura emanating from Xiao Chong and Bai Po. They were acquired souls who had only recently become ghost cultivators. Furthermore, both souls possessed a strong aura of the River of Reincarnation, indicating that they had only recently escaped the River of Reincarnation.
Based on what Xiao Chong said, the young man concluded that this boy was a soul who had recently entered the Netherworld, possessed good talent, and had some special abilities.
"Submit to me, and I can take you to see a wider world, so you can know that I, Lord Yama, am even more powerful than you can imagine!" The young man looked at Lin Yun deeply and said with a faint smile.
A ghost cultivator with the ability to conceal his aura and considerable talent is worth subduing and nurturing. With a little training, he could become a valuable subordinate in the future. This is what the young man was thinking at the moment.
Lin Yun's provocation didn't anger him. Would a peerless expert care about the provocation of an ant? Not to mention all of them, most of them wouldn't!
Indeed, in his eyes, Lin Yun was like an ant, a newly arrived soul who had just entered the Netherworld. Even if he was strong, how strong could he be?
Since Lin Yun broke through to the forty-fifth level of the Netherworld, he has broken through all the new levels of a small entity. Many mysterious powers were created out of thin air and refined by him. The power of the entire Netherworld has greatly enhanced him.
This allows Lin Yun to not only conceal his aura more perfectly, but also to use his power more freely in the Netherworld. He can say that he will only use the power to kill a ghost cultivator, and he will not use a single bit more.
At this moment, Lin Yun did not reveal much of his power.
Therefore, this Yama King did not sense how strong Lin Yun's true power was; otherwise, if even a trace of Lin Yun's aura had been leaked, he would definitely not have been in this state of mind.
"What?"
Upon hearing the young man's words, the surrounding ghost cultivators were greatly surprised.
"Lord Yama actually ordered him to submit?"
"Does Lord Yama intend to subdue him?"
"How could he be so lucky!"
Behind the bronze bull, a group of ghost cultivators looked at Lin Yun with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Some of them made no attempt to hide their feelings by whispering amongst themselves.
"He has a good relationship with Xiao Chong and his wife. If he follows Lord Yama, he will soar to great heights. But if he stands up for Xiao Chong and his wife in the future, I'll be in trouble!"
Bronze Bull's heart sank, and he thought anxiously to himself.
He never expected things to escalate to this point. If he had known, he wouldn't have used Xiao Chong and his wife in the first place, or perhaps he wouldn't have sent the message to Lord Yama so quickly after obtaining the Flower of Reincarnation.
Who would have thought that Lord Yama would arrive so quickly? Who would have thought that Xiao Chong and his wife would have such a friend, so reckless, who would actually be favored by Lord Yama?
Unfortunately, there's no going back now, and it's too late for him to regret it.
"Brother Lin! Why don't you hurry up and thank Lord Yama for his favor?" Xiao Chong was overjoyed. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He grabbed Lin Yun's arm and said excitedly.
In his excitement, he even forgot to use telepathy. Perhaps he hoped to express his attitude towards this Lord Yama and change his previous impression of conflict.
"Lin Yun!" Bai Po looked at Lin Yun nervously and whispered. Clearly, she also hoped that Lin Yun would agree as soon as possible.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao! Congratulations to this brother for being favored by Lord Yama! We were rash just now and caused a misunderstanding with you. I apologize to you both. Consider the Reincarnation Flower we offered to Lord Yama as compensation for you. Please forgive us!" At this moment, after several changes in expression, Tong Niu finally gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Chong and Lin Yun.
Once the other party truly agrees to submit to Lord Yama, it will be too late for him to bow his head. He must show goodwill as soon as possible. Copper Bull is a decisive person, so he quickly did just that.
Thinking of the preciousness of the Flower of Reincarnation, and then of having to give the reward of the Flower of Reincarnation to the other party, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. However, there was nothing he could do. Since things had come to this, he could only beg for the other party's forgiveness.
The other party is a ghost cultivator favored by Lord Yama. Even the weakest of Yama's subordinates could be easily killed by him. Not to mention, the other party was personally recruited by Lord Yama. His future prospects are absolutely limitless.
As long as the other party can forgive them, the sacrifice of a flower of reincarnation is worthwhile.
"What?"
"Boss, you..."
The group of ghost cultivators behind the bronze bull were all surprised to see this scene.
However, most of them were acquired ghost cultivators, and with their combined experiences from past and present lives, they were all knowledgeable and experienced, so they quickly realized what was happening.
"That's right, Boss Copper Bull is right. It was all a misunderstanding just now. Please forgive us!"
We apologize to you!
The ghost cultivators hurriedly bowed, but they didn't mention a word about their companions who had just been killed by the other party, or their resentment towards the young man.
Seeing this, Xiao Chong looked somewhat bewildered. Such a huge crisis had been resolved just like that.
And those ghost cultivators like Tongniu, they actually bowed down so quickly just because Lin Yun was favored by that Lord Yama?
Bai Po was also gratified. In his previous life, Xiao Chong only accepted her at the very end. However, before they could hold a wedding, she perished with Xiao Chong. In the Netherworld, she and Xiao Chong became a true couple.
However, before long, they faced another annihilation crisis. If she could survive, she naturally wouldn't want to die.
In particular, Lin Yun has been favored by a Yama, the King of Hell, which means he has an even brighter future. This is a win-win situation.
Naturally, she also hoped that Lin Yun would agree as soon as possible.
Putting aside the psychology of the ghost cultivators, this series of changes left Lin Yun speechless. In particular, Xiao Chong and Bai Po actually pulled him aside and urged him to quickly thank this Lord Yama for taking a liking to him, which made him both laugh and cry.
He, the number one powerhouse in the Netherworld, the supreme Blood Emperor, actually had to thank a Yama powerhouse for taking a liking to him?
If other top experts in the Netherworld were to see this, wouldn't they be utterly astonished?
You should know that even for one of the Nine Emperors, it wouldn't be easy to see him, right?
Not to mention, he is one of the Ten Kings of Hell, who are below the Nine Emperors!
However, he could understand Xiao Chong and Bai Po's mindset. Who would have thought that a "small person" who was just a minor figure in the living world not long ago would grow so powerful in such a short time?
However, the matter was complicated, and for the moment, Lin Yun did not explain to Xiao Chong and Bai Po. Instead, he looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, "Submit to you? And you'll show me a wider world?"
He's just one of the Ten Kings of Hell; it's more like he's showing the other person a wider world!
However, whether he's willing to take it depends on whether the other party wants him to!
"Fine, based on what you said, and considering that you helped me find the Flower of Reincarnation and didn't harm my friends much, you can leave now, and I won't pursue this matter with you!" Lin Yun then shook his head and said.
The Flower of Reincarnation was something he ordered all the ghost cultivators in the Netherworld to search for. When Lin Yun heard the bronze bull mention the Flower of Reincarnation, he guessed that the other party might be one of the powerful ghost cultivators who were searching for those rare and precious treasures because of it.
Therefore, he couldn't keep pressing the other party, provided that the other party hadn't seriously harmed Xiao Chong and Bai Po. Otherwise, even if he didn't kill the other party, he wouldn't let them go easily.
"What?"
"How dare this brat say such things to Lord Yama?"
"Does he want to die?"
"They actually want the Flower of Reincarnation that we've already offered to Lord Yama! What audacity!"
"They're just asking for it!"
Seeing this, the group of ghost cultivators led by the Bronze Bull were all shocked.
"Brother Lin, how could you do this..."
"Lin Yun..."
Xiao Chong and Bai Po were also shocked. They never expected that Lin Yun would respond in this way after the other party had already offered such a way out, which made them anxious.
"Boy, you're courting death!" At this moment, the young man's face also turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"boom!"
As he spoke, a terrifying domain power rose from his body and quickly covered Lin Yun.
However, Lin Yun's words, "For the sake of you finding the Flower of Reincarnation for me," led them to misunderstand. They thought that Lin Yun was so arrogant that he not only refused their offer but also wanted to forcibly take the Flower of Reincarnation.
The Flower of Reincarnation was of great importance to the young man, as it was the stepping stone to his advancement. How could he allow other ghost cultivators to covet it?
Even if this ghost cultivator was someone he had recently taken a liking to, it still wouldn't work!
Even if the opponent's strength is negligible, it won't work!
He had already given the little ghost cultivator who had just entered the Netherworld a great deal of face by personally recruiting him. If the other party was so ignorant and ungrateful, then there was no need for him to recruit him any further!
Even if you recruit a foolish and arrogant person as a subordinate, it will only bring him trouble!
Thinking this way, the young man decided to teach this little devil a lesson, or even kill him outright, so that he would know what it means to be high above and what it means to be thick below!
However, he did not use any offensive moves, but only used the power of his domain to suppress it. In his opinion, a mere ghost cultivator who had just entered the Netherworld was not worthy of his formal action against him!
"Very good!"
"This kid's asking for it!"
"Now that he's dead, we don't have to worry anymore!"
Seeing this, the group of ghost cultivators led by Copper Bull were pleasantly surprised. In their eyes, the other party was extremely foolish, having completely ruined a perfectly good hand!
Now that Lord Yama is enraged and has personally taken action, even if the other party barely survives, they can forget about ever following Lord Yama again!
Even if the other party is not dead, they can use a little trick to kill them, and maybe even leave a good impression on Lord Yama!
Thinking this, they became even more excited.
