Chapter 20 Nine Netherworld Life-Locking Ruler
No, don't speak, don't talk to this woman. Every word she says makes me furious and unable to calm down.
Ming Jiuyou, you must calm down. You are the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, with profound power. There are few in this world who can rival you. Stay calm and don't fall for this woman's tricks.
Ming Jiuyou silently warned himself to shut up, shut up, and shut up again.
He attacked several times, but failed to hit the hateful woman even once, which startled him.
Although he could sense that this woman was no ordinary person, since so many evil spirits couldn't do anything to her, he never expected her to be this powerful.
He couldn't hold back any longer, "Who are you?"
"Hehe, I'm your great-aunt! My dear grandson, you really don't recognize me?"
Ming Jiuyou wished he could slap himself hard. Why did he even talk to this woman?
He drew out the Nine Netherworld Life-Locking Ruler, an ancient magical artifact with a similar function to the Soul-Locking Chain in the hands of the ghost messengers. However, the Life-Locking Ruler was primarily offensive, making it superior to the Soul-Locking Chain in actual combat.
The Life-Locking Ruler kept shaking, moving so fast that only the sound of its shadow could be heard. Yu Xiaoluo felt her body being pulled towards it by a powerful force.
She was shocked when she saw the Nine Netherworld Life-Locking Ruler in Ming Jiuyou's hand. This Life-Locking Ruler was actually in his hands. It was the magic weapon of the Nine Netherworld Earth Lord. Could he be the Nine Netherworld Earth Lord Ming Jiuyou?
She had never met the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.
In his first life, after being severely injured by his first disciple, the Nine Netherworld Lord fled and was never heard from again.
Back then, the Nine Netherworld Lord was a very powerful figure, the second most powerful person in the Demon Realm after the Demon Lord failed his tribulation and was struck by lightning and died.
He seized control of the Demon Lord's underworld, then summoned back the scattered demons and monsters, and reassembled a group of evil beasts to form his own faction. They committed all sorts of evil deeds, even surpassing the Demon Lord in their wickedness. Later, they were besieged by righteous people for several days, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many evil beasts. He was seriously injured by his own disciple and then fled.
I never expected him to still be alive, and now he's hiding in this Savage Valley. No wonder there are practically no living creatures in this area; once people enter, they rarely leave alive.
No wonder he can manipulate the souls of so many people.
The fact that he was intersex was unknown even to his disciple and the other righteous people from back then; I never expected to see it through at a glance. It seems my first-generation disciple's skills were still not refined enough.
Oh no, I've hit his sore spot. Do you think he'll let me leave alive?
Thousands of years have passed. Can my mortal body be more powerful than this Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?
Yu Xiaoluo had no idea what to do. She gritted her teeth and kept standing, calling out to the system in her mind, but the system did not respond. "Hey, system, you can't ignore me. If I die, you will be gone too."
The system responded very seriously, "Then you can kill me as you wish."
Yu Xiaoluo felt that this broken system was unreliable, so she stuck the Seven Star Magic Sword into the ground, tried to steady herself, and then flashed her signature smile.
"Uncle—Uncle—please let me go, Uncle. I promise I won't tell anyone that you're intersex, and I won't say I've seen you. I'll even delete the video, okay?"
Ming Jiuyou chuckled sinisterly, "Too late to back down now! Prepare to die!"
The Nine Netherworld Life-Locking Ruler drew a semi-circular arc in the air before its tip pierced straight towards Yu Xiaoluo's brow.

Bao Shuoyu and his group of four encountered Lao Hei and his two companions on their way.
At this time, Lao Hei was already having difficulty walking and looked pale. He was leaning on Dr. Yao's left shoulder, while Duan Yujiao, a female team member with a leg injury, also looked pale and was leaning on Dr. Yao's right shoulder. Dr. Yao had a support on both sides, and even though he was in good physical condition, walking was very difficult for him.
When Dr. Yao saw four young men, barely out of their teens, venturing into Savage Valley, he said sternly, “Hey, young men, not just anyone can venture into Savage Valley. You should go back right now; it’s very dangerous inside.”
Chen Mi looked at the two pendants on his shoulder and asked in confusion, "Big brother, are they all injured?"
"Yes, there are unknown dangerous creatures inside, and they attacked us. You really shouldn't go over there. While you're at it, please help us carry those two pendants I'm wearing back with you."
Chen Mi looked at those people, then at Bao Shuoyu and the others, and hesitated.
After all, they came here on a whim without any prior planning. But they'd already bought the equipment; wouldn't it be too embarrassing to give up halfway through?
Bao Shuoyu, hands in his pockets, looked nonchalant. "Why don't we go back? We can get a good night's sleep if we hurry back. I'm a little sleepy." He then opened his mouth and chuckled.
Lu Yifei snorted coldly through his nostrils, "With your cowardly appearance, you little sissy should hurry back home, lest you wet your pants in fear."
Tang Yunhai chuckled, "I think he's terrified."
Several people burst into laughter, but Bao Shuoyu wasn't angry. "Hehe, I'd like to see who's the one who's scared out of their wits."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward, with the others following behind.
Dr. Yao watched their retreating figures, shook his head, and sighed: "Sigh, these reckless young men, why won't they listen to advice?"
Dr. Yao looked at the two people whose condition was deteriorating. Although she had provided some basic treatment, it was only a basic one. She lacked the appropriate medication and the necessary equipment. With another sigh, she helped the two men continue their arduous journey, placing her hopes on what lay ahead. She would try walking a little further and see if she could contact an ambulance.
After walking for a while, Bao Shuoyu stopped. Lu Yifei gave him a disdainful laugh, and then the group walked ahead of him.
Chen Mi asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to use the restroom. You guys go ahead, I'll be there shortly."
"Then hurry up and catch up."
"Wait."
Bao Shuoyu took a chain out of his pocket and put it around Chen Mi's neck. "You can wear it. It's a gift for you, as your birthday present."
"My birthday? It seems like it's still six months away."
"Send it six months in advance."
Chen Mi was very happy. "Thanks, buddy. You go ahead and do it."
After all, Chen Mi was his first friend in this role, so he couldn't let her die too early, otherwise life would be too lonely. As for those three idiots, it was up to fate.
Bao Shuoyu watched them walk away and felt relieved. He was finally free to move around. Why did he have to accompany these weaklings on their arduous journey for so long? Did he have to walk every single step?
He threw down his backpack, looked at the area filled with malevolent energy, and flashed a captivating smile. "It's been a long time since this Demon Lord has had a good time."
