Chapter 867 Farewell

The loss of control due to carelessness was beyond Wuzhiqi's expectations.

He truly hadn't expected that a mere henchman from the Nine Netherworlds would dare to scheme so much against him.

Using Lin Yi's body to reappear in this world can indeed unleash a portion of Wuzhiqi's strength from his lifetime. Defeating the old ghost and rescuing Lin You from him without any contact is indeed an extremely difficult task.

"How about it, let me leave!"

"I'll let the young lady live."

The situation was dire, somewhat beyond Wuzhiqi's expectations.

Lin You, also known as Qin Xinxin, is the young lady of Jiuyou. The old ghost who is her servant dared to lay a hand on her, which is simply going against the natural order.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, something seemed off about Jiuyou's situation.

"What can you do to save her? Your skills are useless against her. If you want Lin You to live, the best way is to compromise."

"Moreover, the ruthlessness this old guy displayed was not an act at all. All these circumstances indicate that we have been drawn into a trap, and a very large one at that."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi instantly calmed down.

Yes, this feeling that something was wrong has been there from the beginning, but Lin Yi had always treated it as a bad premonition and hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now, thinking about it carefully and connecting all the oddities together, the problem is indeed huge.

Qin Guang knew Lin Yi's group's whereabouts, but did not stop them.

As the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, Qin Zhu has been trespassed into the eighteen levels of hell without being noticed. Does this align with his established power level?

There wasn't a single place that felt right.

"give it to me!"

The black energy that had been surrounding Lin Yi was all drawn back into his body.

Lin Yi beckoned, and summoned the Black Hou back.

At this moment, Lin Yi's face turned extremely gloomy.

Having lived in this world for so many years, this was the first time Wuzhiqi had been threatened, and for him, it was the greatest insult.

At this moment, even if Lin Yi didn't ask, he would do his best to kill the old ghost if conditions allowed.

"I've shown my sincerity. Release the person and leave now. I promise I won't chase after you."

Despite suppressing his anger, Wuzhiqi could not hide the chilling killing intent emanating from his words.

Having served as someone's dog for so many years, the old ghost, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, could not possibly fail to sense Wuzhiqi's determination to kill him.

"Very well, sir, with your permission, I feel much more at ease. Since you have shown your sincerity, then I will accept it!"

Old Ghost's previously timid expression instantly contorted.

He made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent, pulling out a dagger emitting black smoke from his personal space and plunging it into Lin You's back.

Having fully recovered his strength, Lin You's physical power had reached a considerable level. Even if Old Ghost's strength was above Lin You's, it would be impossible for him to pierce Lin You's body so easily with an ordinary blade.

All of this happened so suddenly that even Wuzhiqi couldn't have predicted it.

"Hahaha, you want to kill me? In your next life!"

The rampant, sinister laughter pierced through the dark currents of the Nine Netherworld, like sharp knives aimed straight at Lin Yi's chest.

The image of Lin You's face suddenly turning pale struck Lin Yi's brain like an electric current.

Ever since Lin Yi became the God of War, he has taken everything into his own hands.

He knew this operation would be difficult, but he hadn't imagined it would be this difficult. Old Ghost grinned maliciously, pulling the dagger from Lin You's back. Before the controlled Lin Yi and Black Hou could attack him, he kicked the pale-faced, defenseless Lin You in the direction of Lin Yi.

In her weakened state, Lin You was completely unable to resist the erosion of the Nine Nether Turbulent Currents. The turbid waters of the Nine Netherworlds immediately enveloped her body.

Although Wuzhiqi's killing intent was extremely strong at this moment, he could not ignore Lin You's attack on the old ghost. He could only rush to Lin You, catch her, and increase the output of his divine power to completely envelop Lin You.

"hold onto."

Lin Yi temporarily regained control of his body and immediately checked Lin You's condition.

Bloodshot eyes reflected the weak person in front of them, transmitting the scene to Lin Qianqian's eyes in the realm of the dead.

Once inside the realm of the dead, she finally realized her mistake and frantically called out the name of her barrier within the realm of the dead.

Unfortunately, Lin You had already severed his connection with the undead space and could no longer hear the sounds within.

It was at this moment that she finally saw clearly what kind of people the family she supported really were.

The short blade that the old ghost took out was no ordinary dagger; it was the Soul-Shattering Blade, forged by Qin Guang over thousands of years.

That's why Lin You became so weak after being stabbed.

The All-Seeing Eye can see through everything, especially since Lin You's information is being directed towards it.

He knew Lin You's situation all too well.

The short blade that Old Ghost just took out was no ordinary item. The moment it pierced through Lin You's body, his life force and divine power were completely drained.

Lin You smiled, the physical pain did not make her lose her mind, and she touched Lin Yi's face with her sticky hands.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this mission with you."

Lin Yi didn't want to hear discouraging words. He was about to interrupt Lin You when Lin You covered his mouth before he could.

"The Elegy of the Soul is my destined weapon; it will take you higher and farther."

Lin You's voice was very weak, but her words carried an irrefutable force.

She used her last remaining strength to pull the Soul Elegy, which had fallen into the River Styx, back to her side.

Lin Yi knew very well how Lin You was doing.

He considered using the laws of immortality and creation to save people, but the old ghost's divine power was beyond his ability to contend with.

Aside from accepting the Soul Elegy from Lin You with red eyes, he could do nothing else.

"Lin Yi, you must get out of here alive."

Among the three realms and six paths, the most beautiful words are those spoken in deathbed.

In the final moments of her life, Lin You's thoughts were still on Lin Yi.

The moment Lin Yi grasped the Soul Elegy, Lin You's hand finally fell down. From that moment on, the weight of the person in his arms began to rapidly decrease until she transformed into a wisp of spiritual energy in front of Lin Yi and entered the Soul Elegy.

Kakaka~
The dark gray Elegy of the Soul emitted a crisp cracking sound.

Immediately afterwards, countless bright cracks spread across the entire weapon.

As the bright cracks multiplied and widened, the black substance encasing the Soul's Lament began to crumble away, revealing its shimmering silver interior.

When we first acquired this weapon, all we were told was that it could evolve, grow, and gain attribute increases through defeating enemies.

However, each time an enemy is defeated, Soul Elegy only increases in value. After obtaining the Infinity Orb, this passive growth seems to have lost its meaning.
