"Brother Lin...you...you...you..." Xiao Chong stared wide-eyed at Lin Yun, stammering.
Lin Yun is the Blood Emperor? What's going on? Didn't Lin Yun only recently enter the Netherworld after his fall? He couldn't believe that Lin Yun had become the Blood Emperor, as spoken of by such a powerful expert, so soon after entering the Netherworld!
"Lin Yun..." Bai Po also looked incredulous.
"Brother Lin...?" Hearing Xiao Chong address Lin Yun, Song Ting felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood. What kind of power was the Blood Emperor? In the entire Netherworld, who would dare to address the Blood Emperor like that?
Clearly, the other party has a close relationship with the Blood Emperor!
Just how big an opportunity did he miss this time?
However, for now, his priority is to save his life!
"I dare not lie to you, sir. I received a favor from Song Ting years ago. Song Ting has a fairly good reputation among the top ghost cultivators. If possible, I hope that after you punish him, you will spare his life." At this moment, the Three-Eyed Emperor said.
"You received a favor from him?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.
What is the strength of the Three-Eyed Emperor? What is the strength of Song Ting? Not to mention that they are worlds apart, the difference is still enormous. Under what circumstances would the Three-Eyed Emperor accept favors from the other party?
It wasn't that Lin Yun didn't believe the Three-Eyed Emperor's words, but rather that he was genuinely surprised.
“The Three-Eyed Emperor has received favors from me?” Song Ting was also taken aback. How come he didn’t know about this?
Could it be that the Three-Eyed Emperor was trying to win him over, and that's why he said that on purpose?
Thinking this, Song Ting's heart stirred.
This possibility is not nonexistent, but rather very likely. It is said that the Blood Emperor recruited not only the Three-Eyed Emperor, but also many other renowned Netherworld powerhouses, such as the Nine Emperors, Emperor Liwei, and the Lord of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven, Guomuboer, and so on.
Perhaps there are factions involved?
He was one of the Ten Kings of Hell and a ghost cultivator at the Upper Saint King level. Although he couldn't compare to some of the most powerful ghost cultivators, he was still quite strong in the entire Netherworld. Therefore, the Three-Eyed Emperor had ample reason to try to win him over.
"This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. At that time, I was only at the peak of the Saint Realm, while Song Ting was already a powerful Saint King. He was recruiting subordinates, and I went to participate in the selection. Unfortunately, I was not selected, but he rewarded me with a good set of rare and precious materials. It was with the help of that rare and precious materials that I broke through to the Saint King Realm and survived the crisis that followed!" The Three-Eyed Emperor smiled slightly and said.
"..." Song Ting.
The Lord of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, the Three-Eyed Emperor who was once hailed by many ghost cultivators as the strongest being in the Netherworld, almost became his subordinate? And he hadn't even taken a liking to him? This information shocked him to no end!
However, he had a strong memory. After hearing the clues mentioned by the Three-Eyed Emperor, he quickly recalled them and actually remembered the incident of recruiting subordinates that the Three-Eyed Emperor had mentioned.
“You…you are…that…” Song Ting stared wide-eyed at the Three-Eyed Emperor in disbelief.
He remembered the Three-Eyed Emperor from that incident. However, the Three-Eyed Emperor looked quite ordinary at the time. The weakest of the subordinates he recruited were all Saint King level experts, while the Three-Eyed Emperor, who was only at the peak Saint level, was not selected.
Unexpectedly...
For a moment, Song Ting was filled with mixed feelings.
At that time, he was already a renowned Saint King-level ghost cultivator, while the other party was only at the peak Saint realm. The difference in their strength was immense. Unexpectedly, the other party later became one of the nine famous emperors in the entire Netherworld, the Three-Eyed Emperor!
Compared to that, his hard-won position as one of the Ten Kings of Hell is nothing!
He never expected that his momentary good mood and the few gifts he gave away would earn him such a great favor!
It must be said, life is unpredictable!
If he had known the other party would achieve so much in the future, he would have given up all his other subordinates to take him in!
No, it's not about accepting their help, but about befriending them!
It's best to befriend such a person!
"Lord Yan, it's been a long time. I haven't repaid your kindness in the past. Please forgive me!" The Three-Eyed Emperor cupped his hands to Song Ting and said with a faint smile.
"I see." Lin Yun nodded slightly. He recalled the word "early years" in the Three-Eyed Emperor's words. In his early years, the Three-Eyed Emperor was not strong, so it was not surprising that such a thing had happened.
"Brother Xiao, Bai Po, what do you think?" Lin Yun turned to Xiao Chong and Bai Po and asked.
“Since this Lord Yama has done this favor, let’s just let this matter go. Anyway, he didn’t harm us just now, and what he said is the ultimate truth of the Netherworld…” Xiao Chong and Bai Po were not clear about Lin Yun’s status in the Netherworld and did not dare to cause any more trouble. When they saw Lin Yun asking them, they quickly replied.
"Before the two Venerable Ones, Song Ting dares not address you as 'Lord.' I thank you for your forgiveness. Moreover, you two Venerable Ones are too kind. I was just talking nonsense earlier. If I had known that you two Venerable Ones were friends of the Blood Emperor, I would never have dared to be disrespectful in the slightest." Song Ting bowed deeply to Xiao Chong and Bai Po in gratitude, and then said repeatedly.
“As a friend of the Blood Emperor, I dare not call myself ‘Lord.’ If you two Venerables think highly of me, you can simply call me ‘Three-Eyed.’” the Three-Eyed Emperor said with a smile.
"You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment. From today onwards, I will punish you to protect these two friends of mine personally, without any negligence, for a period of one hundred million years in the Great World of Living Beings. Are you willing?" Lin Yun nodded slightly, looked at Song Ting, and said.
The atmosphere among ghost cultivators in the Netherworld is generally not good. Song Ting, who was a Saint King-level ghost cultivator, would still give rare and precious materials to ghost cultivators who were not chosen as his subordinates, which shows that his character is indeed not bad.
One of the Ten Kings of Hell, a superior Saint King-level ghost cultivator, with a little training, he could become a top-tier ghost cultivator in the Netherworld, so he's worth recruiting.
"Hmm?" Song Ting was slightly taken aback.
"Why aren't you thanking the Blood Emperor yet?" the Three-Eyed Emperor shouted.
"Thank you for forgiving Song Ting, Blood Emperor. I am willing, I am willing!" Song Ting was excited and quickly bowed again.
Just a moment ago, he was on the verge of life and death. Now, although the Blood Emperor did not directly recruit him, he was not stupid. He could see that these two ordinary ghost cultivators had a close relationship with the Blood Emperor, so how could their future treatment be bad?
Putting everything else aside, these two ghost cultivators are definitely capable of entering the new ninth heaven for cultivation, and it's not impossible for them to cultivate directly in the forty-fifth heaven. As their personal bodyguard, he can naturally follow them to cultivate in the new ninth heaven or even the forty-fifth heaven.
And it has no time limit—no, it has a time limit of one hundred million years for a vast world of living beings… Is that a long time? No, it's too short!
He secretly resolved to perform well and strive to become a permanent employee!
In the future, if the Blood Emperor, or anyone else, breaks through the new Heaven, he will also have the opportunity to be the first to experience the scene of the creation of the new Heaven, which will be a great opportunity.
This is like a windfall from heaven, how could he disagree?
"He... he's protecting us closely?" Xiao Chong's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out.
If the information they have is correct, this powerful ghost cultivator is one of the top ghost cultivators in the Netherworld, a super-strong expert among the Ten Kings of Hell, and he has actually become his and Bai Po's bodyguard?
Moreover, judging from the other party's expression, there seemed to be no resistance at all; on the contrary, it was as if they had gained a great benefit.
"Could it be that the information we received is incorrect, and the so-called Ten Kings of Hell are just top experts at a certain level, not the top experts of the entire Netherworld? Perhaps they are just top experts in this Reincarnation Land? Or perhaps they are just top experts in a certain area of this Reincarnation Land?" Xiao Chong couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
It's no wonder he thought that way; what was happening before his eyes was far beyond his imagination.
"What should we do with them?" At this moment, Lin Yun turned to look at the group of ghost cultivators led by the Bronze Bull and asked.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, no, Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao, it was all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! We were just joking with you, Lord Xiao. Please don't take it to heart and let us go!" Seeing Lin Yun looking at them, Tong Niu panicked and hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Chong, pleading in a sorrowful voice.
He was truly grieving; the thought that they might die at any moment filled him with grief and indignation.
Unlike Xiao Chong and Bai Po, who had only recently entered the Netherworld, they had been there for quite some time and knew very well that Song Ting Yanluo was indeed a top expert in the Netherworld.
That three-eyed emperor is most likely one of the legendary nine emperors, and is said to be one of the nine strongest ghost cultivators in the Netherworld.
That Blood Emperor is probably one of the Nine Emperors, but the fact that both Song Ting Yanluo and the Three-Eyed Emperor treat him with such respect suggests that he is a top-tier expert among the Nine Emperors.
Now, Song Tingyanluo has also become Xiao Chong and Bai Po's personal bodyguard!
What terrifying thing did they kick?
If they had known earlier that Xiao Chong and Bai Po had such terrifying backgrounds, they would never have dared to provoke them. In fact, they would have been too busy currying favor with them to provoke Xiao Chong and Bai Po.
"Yes, yes, Lord Xiao, please forgive us!"
"Please, Lord Xiao, spare us!"
The other ghost cultivators behind the bronze bull also kowtowed repeatedly to Xiao Chong and Bai Po, begging for mercy.
"Forget it. The information about the Flower of Reincarnation was ultimately obtained from you by Bai Po and me. Falling into your trap was also due to our own greed. In the end, you didn't have time to do anything to Bai Po and me. Considering that we just met Brother Lin, I will let you go!" Xiao Chong stared at the group of ghost cultivators, including Tong Niu, for a while before finally speaking indifferently.
In fact, he had sensed a trace of killing intent from the group of ghost cultivators in the Bronze Bull earlier, but he was not sure whether this killing intent was a spur-of-the-moment decision or a pre-planned one. If it were in his previous life, he might have killed the group of ghost cultivators directly to avoid leaving any future troubles.
However, he still didn't know the situation of Lin Yun and that Three-Eyed Emperor, Song Ting Yama, which made him more apprehensive.
He wasn't worried about Lin Yun.
What if he decides to kill these ghost cultivators, giving the Three-Eyed Emperor and Song Ting Yama a bad impression, or making them have a bad impression of Lin Yun?
Ultimately, he decided to give up.
"Let them go!" Bai Po nodded slightly and said.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao! Thank you, Lord Bai!" Upon hearing Xiao Chong and Bai Po's words, the group of ghost cultivators from the Bronze Bull were overjoyed, weeping with happiness. They kowtowed repeatedly to Xiao Chong and Bai Po, expressing their deep gratitude.
Lin Yun roughly sensed Xiao Chong's thoughts, but after thinking about it, he did not stop him.
Xiao Chong is currently unaware of his strength and status, but he will find out soon enough.
Because of him, Xiao Chong and Bai Po will soon stand at the very top of the entire Netherworld.
Some ordinary ghost cultivators don't even have the strength of many super realm cultivators, so there's no need to deliberately investigate them. He has examined the talents of these ghost cultivators, and they are quite ordinary. Therefore, there is no need to worry about them becoming a future problem.
If Xiao Chong and Bai Po knew his identity and strength, killing these ghost cultivators would be a matter of a single thought.
"Get lost!" Xiao Chong snorted coldly upon seeing the behavior of these ghost cultivators.
Now, he and Bai Po are alright!
Because Lin Yun happened to arrive, and he had an unexpected identity!
If Lin Yun hadn't come, or hadn't revealed his unexpected identity, what would their fate have been? Death was not impossible!
Therefore, Xiao Chong had a very bad impression of these ghost cultivators!
"Yes, yes..." The group of ghost cultivators, including the Bronze Bull, felt relieved and excitedly replied.
Although Xiao Chong and Bai Po had said they would release them, there were still several powerful figures here, and they were trembling with fear, afraid that one of them might dislike them and kill them with a single thought.
Now, Xiao Chong telling them to get lost has actually relieved them.
They felt safe once they left this place.
Whew! Whew!
As they spoke, these ghost cultivators scrambled away in a panic.
"Let's go!" Lin Yun said.
call!
As he spoke, Lin Yun enveloped Xiao Chong, Bai Po, Song Ting, and San Yan with a surge of domain power, and the group vanished the next moment.
Above the Land of Reincarnation, Lin Yun continued his search while talking to Xiao Chong and Bai Po.
"You said... you are the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld? Now, your strength is even greater than in your previous life, making you the strongest in the Netherworld?" Xiao Chong and Bai Po were shocked as they listened to Lin Yun's explanation.
He already knew what the Netherworld was like. The strongest being in the entire Netherworld—what did that mean?
"Not only that, the Blood Emperor, the strongest in the Netherworld, is far stronger than the others. Even if all the top ghost cultivators in the Netherworld joined forces, they might not be a match for the Blood Emperor. The Netherworld has only broken through more than forty heavens so far, and the Blood Emperor broke through more than ten of them..." The Three-Eyed Emperor smiled slightly and added.
The Three-Eyed Emperor's explanation caused Xiao Chong and Bai Po to gasp in shock once again.
They never expected that, not long after their deaths, Lin Yun would become such a powerful and extraordinary figure.
"boss……"
"king……"
Subsequently, Lin Yun found the souls of some of his former subordinates in the Netherworld. These subordinates were shocked and excited when they saw their boss and king appear before them like gods.
The chaos in the Land of Reincarnation far surpassed that of other realms in the Netherworld. When Lin Yun and his group encountered these subordinates, their conditions were generally not good; some were even engaged in combat. Naturally, Lin Yun and his group also killed some ghost cultivators as a result.
This made Song Tingyanluo even more grateful. He had actually dared to attack the Blood Emperor earlier. Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Emperor pleaded for him, which not only saved his life but also gave him a good ending. Otherwise, he would have been in a terrible situation and might have been killed like these ghost cultivators.
