Chapter 860 Brotherhood in the Nine Netherworlds

After entering the Nine Netherworld City, Lin Yi and his group increased their speed considerably.

With the permit in hand, the journey was very smooth. Apart from needing to cooperate with the permit check, there were basically no other delays.

However, as Lin You walked along, she felt that something was not quite right.

Neither his own older brother nor his own father were easy to deal with.

Having known each other for hundreds of years, Lin You had witnessed countless ways these two controlled the situation. Even though Lin Yi had arranged everything very well along the way, things shouldn't have gone so smoothly.

When Lin Yi noticed that Lin You's expression was off, he immediately asked her what was wrong.

Lin You pressed her hand against her heaving chest, trying to gain some peace of mind in this way.

"I don't know why, but I feel that this mission went a little too smoothly. My father is the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. He built this place, where living things can hardly survive, brick by brick, into what it is now. With his abilities, there's no way he wouldn't have noticed my return."

"We've had such a smooth journey so far, I always feel that even if our operation succeeds, it won't be of much significance."

Upon hearing this, Ziyue was immediately dumbfounded.

If this operation is not of great significance, what will happen to our homes, our relatives and friends?

Lin You and Lin You have been in a master-servant relationship for a long time, and during this time, Lin You has never done anything meaningless.

Now that she has fully recovered her strength and possesses the skill [Epitaph], this girl's ability to sense danger has reached a terrifying level.

Even if it's just a baseless claim, Lin Yi has no choice but to take it seriously.

"Lin You's words are probably not unfounded. I also find the Nine Nether Land eerily quiet."

"My intuition tells me that we should abandon our attack on Qin Guang. Let's speed things up, rescue him, and then run away."

Having experienced so much, Lin Yi's sense of danger has become quite acute.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Judge of Hell should have discovered an hour ago that the three captured Netherworld Divine Soldiers were framed.

But so much time has passed, and the entire Nine Nether City has not been placed under martial law, and has even ignored the invaders.

This wasn't Lin Yi's cleverness at all; it was clearly the calm before the storm.

Otherwise, given Qin Zhu's control over the Nine Netherworlds, he couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time, full speed ahead."

On their journey to the eighteenth level of hell, Lin Yi and the others witnessed the Nine Netherworlds' punishment of those ghosts who had committed sins in their previous lives.

The brutality was simply unbearable to witness.

The eight evil spirits in his hands were trembling with fear.

Seeing that they had already reached the gates of the eighteenth level of hell, the eight little devils hurriedly began to beg for mercy.

"Sir, we have cooperated with you obediently as you instructed. We are almost at the eighteenth level of hell. Could you please release us for our honesty? We promise we will not cause you any trouble."

The eight evil spirits in his hands remained silent; Lin Yi had almost forgotten about them.

Each level of hell is guarded by divine soldiers from the Nine Netherworlds.

Once inside, a special penal department will punish the evil spirits according to the judgment given by Yama, the King of Hell.

According to Lin You, the number of troops deployed on each level is not large. As long as the action is fast enough, they can rescue Shakyamuni before the main force of the Nine Netherworld Divine Soldiers arrives. "Alright, I'll let you go."

After saying that, Lin Yi snapped his fingers, and the Fallen Heart Flame collars that were on the eight evil spirits disappeared instantly.

Before the eight evil spirits could even thank Lin Yi, the Fallen Heart Flame struck again, imprisoning them in a cage-like form.

"Hey, why aren't you running away? Don't you want to leave? If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. I'll take you to the eighteenth level of hell and see what's going on inside."

A moment later, the three people and eight evil spirits were brought before the Department of Punishments in charge of the eighteenth level of hell.

After reviewing the judgment results presented by Lin Yi, the Nine Netherworld Divine Soldier in charge of criminal law couldn't help but frown.

"Such heinous criminals are truly rare. You've sent eight of them all at once; it must have been quite a task for you all."

Hearing the words of the members of the Punishment Department, the eight evil spirits' legs went weak.

If the first seventeen levels of punishment were already so extreme, wouldn't the eighteenth level involve everything from skinning and dismemberment?
Thinking that Lin Yi would break his promise and hand over all eight of them at once, the eight evil spirits disregarded the threat of the Fallen Heart Flame and immediately opened their mouths to shout.

"Lord of the Punishment Department, Lord of the Punishment Department, you must not believe this guy! He is not actually one of your Nine Netherworlds. He came from outside. He somehow managed to infiltrate your ranks. You must report this to the Judge of Hell immediately and have him arrest them!"

"Yes, sirs, these three divine weapons are fake. We were coerced into coming here. We are only concerned with the normal operation of the Nine Netherworld. Please, sirs, see the truth."

I thought that telling the truth would get the Penal Division's attention and I could get a lighter sentence.

Despite the explosive intelligence, the Department of Punishments showed no shock whatsoever.

After handing the license back to Lin Yi, the divine soldier from the Penal Division lazily raised his head and shifted his gaze to Lin Yi's face, as if he hadn't heard what the eight evil spirits had said.

"You must have gone through a lot of trouble along the way, right?"

What's the meaning.

Where does this idea come from?

Just as Lin Yi was about to use the [Epitaph] skill to investigate the divine weapon of the Punishment Department in front of him and say something, he suddenly remembered that there might be skill-sensing crystals in this place.

Just as I was wondering how to start a conversation, the divine soldier from the Department of Punishments spoke up.

"These evil spirits are so cunning. They must have stirred up trouble between the three of you on the way here. You three are too merciful. If it were me, I would have ripped their tongues out long ago."

"Brother, next time you encounter someone so inconsiderate, just pull it out directly. We're all colleagues, we should be more tolerant of each other, right?"

To be honest, Lin Yi was somewhat touched to have such a thoughtful colleague.

If they weren't destined to fight sooner or later, Lin Yi would have sworn brotherhood with his "colleague" in front of him.

"Hey brother, you can't argue with that, isn't it so we can have something to report back to you guys?"

The eight demons didn't realize anything was wrong at first, but by the time they reacted, the officers from the Department of Punishments were already in front of them.

"It's alright, brother. Don't be soft on these guys. They're already here and they're still acting so recklessly. That's disrespectful to our Department of Punishments. I'll take care of it now."

As soon as he finished speaking, two more brothers from the Department of Punishments came out, walked up to the eight imprisoned evil spirits, and began to attack.

The divine weapons of the Punishment Department possess special magical artifacts crafted by Qin Guang, which have absolute suppression over soul entities.

With just a wave of the hand, the souls would obediently walk in front of them.
