Chapter 863 Strange Phenomena Arise, Conspiracy Unfolds

Since becoming a professional, Lin Yi has seen many powerful individuals and many terrifying creatures with tenacious vitality, but none of the creatures he has seen are as tenacious as the withered man in front of him.

It's hard to imagine what kind of belief has sustained this man to this day.

The man sensed the presence of a living person and forced his trembling white eyes open.

His previously tired eyes instantly brightened, and he stared intently at the girl standing next to Lin Yi.

"Heh, I never expected that after all these years, the Qin family would still come to see me. What, are you planning to let me go, or are you planning to take my life?"

Shakyamuni's mouth was stretched into an exaggerated grin, which looked quite eerie, so much so that Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

“If you intend to let me go, then let me tell you, you’d better not do that. I will fight with everything to tear your conspiracy apart and use all my knowledge to drag your Qin family down to hell.”

"So hurry up and finish me off."

Feeling the murderous aura rising to its peak, Lin You sighed helplessly.

Lin You still can't understand what kind of mentality Shakyamuni has?

What was the purpose of enduring so much hardship in this cold and turbulent Netherworld?

Shakyamuni didn't seem like a masochistic person at all.

Enduring the pain of his body being devoured and decayed, struggling to survive in the viscous liquid where there was no sunlight, and even being forgotten in the long river of time, what was Shakyamuni's goal? Wasn't it to one day be able to come out alive and seek revenge on the Qin family and the gods of the heavens?

“Shakya, there’s no need for you to provoke me. It’s pointless. I know exactly what you’re thinking. What I want to tell you is that I no longer belong to the Qin family, nor will I serve the gods. The reason I’ve come here today is to release you.”

"The world cannot be reshuffled without your power."

After saying this, Lin You drew the Soul Elegy and rushed to Shakyamuni's side. With a swift stroke, he severed all the iron chains binding Shakyamuni.

The fact that he regained his freedom so easily surprised Shakyamuni.

The Qin family serves the gods and spirits, so how could they be like this?

"Now, do what you want to do. No one will stop you. We have to go. If you want to leave this Netherworld smoothly, you might as well stick close to me."

After saying this, Lin You turned around, intending to leave directly with Lin Yi.

She believed that, given Shakyamuni's personality, no matter how stubborn he was, he would obediently follow.

Unexpectedly, Shakyamuni's actions were completely beyond Lin Yi and his companion's expectations.

"you wanna die!"

Seeing Lin You's abdomen pierced through, Lin Yi's anger flared up instantly.

He gathered all the divine power and primordial power he could muster in his palm and grabbed at Shakyamuni's face.

However, there is a significant gap in strength between the two sides.

The powerful and concentrated divine energy ruthlessly blocked Lin Yi's attack.

Although Lin Yi's palm was less than a centimeter away from Shakya's gaunt face, it felt as if they were tens of thousands of miles apart, and Lin Yi's attack was slow to land on him.

Lin You felt a pain coming from her back and subconsciously looked down at her abdomen.

Bright red blood dripped out, and his withered palm was covered with his own blood, which was even steaming.

The energy that was once abundant began to drain away rapidly in that instant.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this, Miss. After all these years away from Jiuyou, you still betrayed Jiuyou in the end."

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Souls' decision to have me stay here was indeed the right one."

As Shakyamuni spoke, he tore open the spatial disguise beside him and put a spirit crystal, which was specially used for recording, into his personal space.

“Once this information is made public, you will become the enemy of the entire Nine Netherworlds, no, I mean the entire myriad realms.” After saying this, Shakyamuni unleashed a powerful divine force, forcefully pushing Lin Yi back dozens of meters.

The injured Lin You was in an even worse state. This outburst had exerted all its power on her, and it felt as if she had taken the impact of a train head-on with her face.

"You, who are you?"

Lin You searched for the current Shakyamuni in her newly recovered memories.

She was certain that although the person before her had the body of Buddha, he was not Buddha. He must have used some special means to possess Buddha's body.

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni burst into laughter.

"Young Miss, you're really going too far. After being away from Jiuyou for so many years, you can't even recognize this old servant's voice? I'm Old Ghost, the old ghost who's been by Young Master's side."

At this point, Lin You realized why the Shakyamuni in front of him was not Shakyamuni.

Come to think of it.

Having been eroded by the River of Marrow Cleansing in the Nine Netherworld for so many years, even with the support of his belief in revenge, Shakyamuni has endured long enough. As the eldest brother who controls all souls, Qin Guang has the ability to inject the old ghost's soul into Shakyamuni's body, so it is not surprising.

As expected, Lin Yi was right; everything was proceeding too smoothly.

It seems that Lin Yi and his group were targeted by Qin Guang as soon as they entered the Nine Netherworld.

Having figured out the situation, Lin Yi quickly calmed the surging blood and qi within his body.

He understood that his current strength was far inferior to that of the old ghost who possessed Shakyamuni's body, so he could only place his hopes on the Black Hou.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come out! Do you want me to die at his hands?"

In a direct, head-on confrontation, Lin Yi is indeed no match.

But Lin Yi also has advantages, namely the diversity and functionality of his skills.

Once the battle begins, he will surely be able to help Lin You turn the tide with the aid of his skills.

The Black Hou, trapped in the realm of the dead, felt utterly helpless.

If we could go back thousands of years, to the time when it was still lording it over Wuzhiqi, it would have been no problem for it to defeat a mere Shakyamuni possessed by an old demon.

But the old ghost now is an old ghost who has consumed the Source Power Pill for thousands of years. The strength of the two sides has been constantly narrowing over the long river of time, and has even surpassed each other.

That's why they say money supports people; the same goes for resources.

The weakness it displayed thousands of years ago has now forced the Black Hou to avoid its sharp edge.

Even though he was unwilling, the Black Hou had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

It did not want its leader to consume its soul power, nor did it want its leader to lose its home and be hunted down by the gods.

Therefore, he could only roar and attack.

"You shameless bastard, you call yourself a god? It's been so many years, and all you know how to do is sneak attacks from behind. This style really suits you so-called gods!"

The gates to the realm of the dead opened, and roars erupted from within.

By the time the old ghost heard this voice, the Black Hou had already appeared behind him.

The black, misty greatsword, infused with the power of the Black Hou and the power of the Primordial Beginning, extended to a full hundred meters.

The moment it suddenly slashed down, even the viscous Netherworld turbulence had to avoid its sharp edge and make way for it.

"Go to hell!"
