Chang'an City, by the Lixin Lake.
Beneath an inconspicuous house, two fierce-looking Netherworld Evil Warriors were meditating and concentrating their energy.
These two were the last two evil cultivators of the Northern Netherworld who had been chased all the way from the Northern Region by Mu Qiuyao.
Cang Shen and Yuan Huo.
Suddenly, a stream of evil energy flashed through the void, splitting in two and entering the bodies of the two people.
"Yaksha, is he dead?"
The two opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes flashing with disbelief.
When the evil light enters the body, it is accompanied by the last images of the deceased before their death.
The final image freezes on Shen Zhao's ferocious and savage face.
"Who is this person?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the legendary Shen Zhao."
"Shen Zhao!"
Cang Shen took a deep breath, then got up and began pacing around the room, his face full of worry.
Yuan Huo said, "We don't need to be too nervous. Even if it really is Shen Zhao, so what? I don't believe he will be the one to bring ruin to my Nine Netherworld!"
Cang Shen: "Be careful. Haven't you heard enough rumors about Shen Zhao?"
A little analysis reveals that this is an extremely formidable opponent.
Trust the Realm Lord's words; he wouldn't deceive us. Now that Shen Zhao has appeared here...
Then we must leave.
"Very well, we'll inform Sima Zhen and the others tomorrow that Chang'an is no longer safe."
Just as the two were planning to temporarily avoid the conflict and leave Chang'an to make further plans, a disciple of the Nine Netherworlds came to report.
"Your Excellencies, there is a man outside who claims to be a subordinate of Sima Jun, named Li Jianxin, who says he has something extremely important to discuss with you."
"Hmm, Li Jianxin? How did he find this place?"
Both of them frowned simultaneously.
"Bring him in."
Before long, Li Jianxin arrived before the two men, knelt down, and said, "I am Li Jianxin, and I greet the two Venerable Ones."
"How did you find this place? Did Sima Jun tell you?" Yuan Huo asked sternly.
Li Jianxin shook his head: "The two Venerable Ones, Sima Jun and Sima Zhen, are already dead."
Even the Divine Water Pavilion, which Jiuyou had been plotting in Chang'an, fell into the hands of outsiders.
"What! Sima Jun is dead?"
Cang Shen and Yuan Huo were filled with disbelief.
"Who did this?! Tell me!"
Li Jianxin suffered terribly under the emperor's might, sweat streaming down his face like raindrops onto the ground.
"Yes, it was Shen Zhao and Linghu Ming who did it."
"It's Shen Zhao again!"
Yuan Huo roared in anger.
"What exactly does this Shen Zhao want? Why does he keep opposing me, Jiuyou!"
Li Jianxin added, "Furthermore, tonight they wantonly humiliated the Jiuyou clan at the Shenshui Pavilion, completely ruining Jiuyou's reputation."
The disciples of Jiuyou's branch in Chang'an, who had intended to save face, unexpectedly fell into their trap again and are now all imprisoned in the Divine Water Pavilion.
Cang Shen and Yuan Huo were immediately startled upon hearing this.
"This is terrible! This Shen Zhao is even more ruthless than we thought."
"This is an attempt to expose all of Jiuyou's forces in Chang'an to Shenshui Pavilion."
"Now that Sima Jun is dead, the situation is out of control, and we must find a way to turn things around."
"Immediately notify the other tribesmen not to act rashly, and especially not to approach the Divine Water Pavilion."
Cang Shen and Yuan Huo immediately fell into deep thought.
They desperately wanted to expose themselves, but the death of Yaksha was still fresh in their minds, and Mu Qiuyao was nowhere to be found. What if…
The more critical the moment became, the less they wanted to die.
Both Cang Shen and Yuan Huo aspire to reach the pinnacle of the Great Emperor realm, the state where they can crush everything.
Therefore, they really don't want to expose themselves unless absolutely necessary.
After all, deep down, neither of them wanted to die so that the other could benefit.
Li Jianxin suddenly spoke up: "You two Venerable Ones, if I can help you get rid of Shen Zhao, would you be willing to grant me a wish?"
"Oh? You can get rid of Shen Zhao? Heh."
Yuan Huo looked at this ant and let out a disdainful laugh.
Cang Shen: "Insignificant ant, do you even know who Shen Zhao is? With your cultivation at the Selfless Realm, do you think you can even budge him in the slightest?"
"Humans truly are the most ignorant and insignificant creatures."
Faced with the two men's sarcastic remarks, Li Jianxin gritted his teeth and said, "Getting rid of Shen Zhao doesn't necessarily require strength. It can be achieved through other schemes and tricks."
"Oh, tell me about your plans."
Li Jianxin: "Please grant me something, Venerable Ones, so that I may take the opportunity to approach Shen Zhao and eliminate him."
What is it?
“The Ghostly Foam of the Underworld”.
"You want to kill Shen Zhao with poison?"
Li Jianxin nodded: "Shen Zhao and the others don't know my true identity, and only I can get close to him. I can definitely rid Jiuyou of this scourge."
Once Shen Zhao dies, the two Venerables and Jiu You will have no more worries. This is currently the best solution. Please allow me to try it.
Even if it fails, there will be no loss for the two Venerable Ones, will there?
Cang Shen and Yuan Huo exchanged a glance, then nodded.
"Okay, tell me your requirements."
"I need power!"
Li Jianxin said through gritted teeth, "I need sufficient power, and I beg the two Venerable Ones to grant my request."
Yuan Huo scoffed, "The power of the Nine Netherworlds is not something an ordinary person can withstand. Are you sure?"
"We humbly request that you two venerable ones grant our request."
Yuan Huo threw a bottle of Netherworld Foam directly at him.
"After it's done, you will gain the power you desire."
"Thank you, Venerable One."
