“Great! We finally have a clue about the hideout of these freaks. We must tell the kid this and ask him what to do next.”
Mu Qiuyao secretly searched for news of Jiuyou until she discovered traces of Cang Shen and Yuan Huo's existence by Lixin Lake. She immediately decided to go and meet up with Shen Zhao.
Halfway there, she took out a communication jade stone: "Boy, where are you? I've found some clues and I'd like to analyze them with you."
But there was no response from the other end of the communication stone.
"Hey kid, are you there? Say something."
Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Mu Qiuyao became a little anxious.
"Why is this kid so unreliable at crucial moments? Oh well, he should be at the Divine Water Pavilion by now, I'll go find him myself."
With that in mind, Mu Qiuyao did not hesitate and immediately set off towards the Divine Water Pavilion.
On the other side, after learning that Shen Zhao had died from poisoning, Li Jianxin immediately found another stronghold based on the marks left by Cang Shen and Yuan Huo.
"Your Excellencies, Shen Zhao is dead!"
Are you sure?
"I personally witnessed him drink the tea containing the ghostly poison, and I also secretly observed Shen Zhao die from the poison."
After hearing Li Jianxin's words, Cang Shen and Yuan Huo exchanged a glance.
It was clearly unbelievable that Shen Zhaozhen had died so easily.
This is the person whom the Realm Lord hailed as someone who would bring annihilation to the Nine Netherworlds.
Seeing that the two did not believe him, Li Jianxin immediately said, "If you two venerable ones do not believe me, you can send someone to investigate the truth."
Yuan Huo: "Could there be a trap here? I've heard that Shen Zhao is full of tricks. Could he have faked his death to lure us out?"
Cang Shen nodded: "I also feel that something is amiss. How could Shen Zhao die so easily?"
Li Jian was anxious: "Your Excellencies, everything I have said is true. I personally witnessed Shen Zhao vomiting blood and dying."
"Do not act rashly before the matter is clarified!"
"You ant, you've probably been tricked. If you ruin my grand plan in the Nine Netherworlds, can you afford to take the blame?"
Li Jianxin suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
They had clearly poisoned Shen Zhao to death, so why wouldn't they believe it?
In fact, the Nine Netherworlds are an extremely brutal, greedy, and selfish race. They don't even easily trust their own people, so how could they trust an outsider like you?
Seeing Li Jianxin's unwilling expression, Yuan Huo roared, "What's with that expression? Are you very dissatisfied with us?"
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
"You're nothing but an ant. To serve my Nine Netherworlds is an immense blessing for you. Even being a dog would be a great honor for you."
You should do your job honestly and without showing the slightest dissatisfaction!
"Your subordinate is absolutely loyal to Jiuyou!"
Faced with the pressure from the two Great Emperors, Li Jianxin had no choice but to say these disgusting words against his will.
"never mind!"
The Azure God spoke, stopping the calamity.
"If Shen Zhao really dies, then you will be the number one hero of the Nine Netherworlds, and we will not treat you unfairly."
After speaking, he raised his hand.
Suddenly, a vast surge of evil energy rushed into Li Jianxin's body like a tidal wave.
"This is... ah..."
With a painful groan, Li Jianxin floated up into the air.
Ah~
With a shrill roar, his entire aura changed completely in the next moment.
Yuan Huo snorted coldly in dissatisfaction: "Why give power to such ants?"
The Azure God said, "Give him a little something sweet, and he'll be more loyal to us."
A full hour had passed by the time Li Jianxin adjusted to the changes within his body.
"Supreme Fifth Rank?"
Li Jianxin was filled with excitement as he felt his cultivation level greatly increase.
The legendary Supreme Realm.
With this power, one can stand higher and farther.
"Work hard for me, Jiuyou. Jiuyou will never mistreat anyone who is useful, understand?"
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will serve you with my life, even unto death, and remain loyal to the Netherworld!"
"Remember your promise."
Li Jianxin's expression was crazed, his eyes filled with an extremely cold and evil light.
...
Mu Qiuyao walked towards Shenshui Pavilion, pondering how to discuss the next steps with Shen Zhao.
Just then, a group of people around them ran frantically toward Shenshui Pavilion.
Meanwhile, someone shouted in the street: "All employees of Shenshui Pavilion, return to Shenshui Pavilion immediately..."
Seeing the hurried expressions on the faces of these pedestrians, Mu Qiuyao's heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel this inexplicable panic?"
Thinking of this, she quickly jogged towards the Divine Water Pavilion.
Upon arriving outside the Divine Water Pavilion and seeing only pure white, Mu Qiuyao's fear intensified.
"What exactly happened?"
With a thousand questions swirling in her mind, she slowly walked into the main hall of the Divine Water Pavilion.
"Big brother~ Big brother~"
As soon as I entered the house, I heard Liang Hao wailing loudly.
When Mu Qiuyao saw the hall decorated like a mourning hall, her mind went completely blank.
"Big brother, how could you just leave like this? How am I going to explain this to my little sister?"
The surrounding employees were also crying, all dressed in mourning clothes and wiping away tears.
Fahai, his face pale, sat on a prayer mat to the side of the memorial tablet, silently reciting the scriptures for rebirth in the Pure Land.
Linghu Ming stared blankly as he mechanically tossed the paper money in his hand into the brazier.
"What on earth happened?!"
Mu Qiuyao was shocked. She had only been away from Shenshui Pavilion for a short time, and this inexplicable scene had already occurred.
