Chapter 870 The Demon Returns
Even Xi Yue, who usually doesn't get along well with Lin You, is genuinely heartbroken at this moment.

Lin Yi reached out his hand, wanting to touch the divine power belonging to Lin You.

But it slips away like sand that cannot be held in one's grasp.

"This time, our mission has failed."

The black aura around his body gradually dissipated, and the sharp, murderous aura also gradually faded, indicating that Lin Yi had regained control of his body.

The mangled arm is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's likely that the explosion just now caused Lin Yi a lot of pain.

But this pain is nothing compared to losing Lin You.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yue was startled, and images of her planet being slaughtered by ferocious beasts instantly flashed through her mind.

But she didn't dare ask why she failed.

Even a high-ranking god like Lin You paid the ultimate price in this operation, so how could she dare to ask if there was a problem with any part of the process?

“Nine Netherworlds, the world is about to change. What follows is beyond our control. If we can evacuate from Nine Netherworlds in time, we might have a chance to survive. But if we can't evacuate in time, we might perish here. So, stay close to me from now on.”

After saying this, Lin Yi activated the [Seventy-Two Transformations] skill again, transforming Xi Yue and Zi Yue together into the appearance of the Nine Netherworld Divine Weapons.

The palace where the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds resided was now completely surrounded by the divine soldiers of the Nine Netherworlds.

Although the Smiling Buddha managed to injure Qin Zhu through some underhanded means, he was still far inferior to Qin Zhu in terms of raw strength and could not possibly defeat him. Moreover, there were countless of Qin Zhu's personal guards in Qin Zhu's palace.

Under such circumstances, how could Qin Zhu possibly lose?

"Qin Zhu, I know I can't beat you, but you should also know who I represent. If you really intend to kill me, you should know better than me what you will face, right?"

The Smiling Buddha staggered and fell, but his face still wore a confident smile.

"It won't be long before the people behind me arrive. Then we'll see how you explain yourself."

No matter where a king is, he is still a king, and he has the pride of a king. How could Qin Zhu swallow such a threat in front of his subordinates?

Neither the order established by the gods nor the actions of the Dark Organization are what Qin Zhu wants to see.

Compared to Anxing, Qin Zhu hoped that the order of the Three Realms and Six Paths would continue according to the will of the gods.

As the ruler of the realm of the dead, Qin Zhu can see what the deceased experienced in their lifetime through the trial process.

He knew very well that the rise of Dark Rise would lead to even more deaths in this world.

He didn't want to be enemies with the gods and stand on the opposite side of Anxing, but there were things in the Nine Netherworld's intelligence agency that the gods couldn't know.

“I have never stood against you. I have said that Jiuyou does not have a dedicated intelligence agency. I do not want to know about those things.”

If the problem could be resolved with a few words, the two wouldn't have resorted to violence.

"Hehe, Qin Zhu, you have no chance. Jiu You is beyond saving. I told you very seriously that your choice would determine the future of Jiu You, but you wouldn't listen. Now it's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhu's expression changed.

The restrictions he set up were broken directly by force.

Without even needing to perceive it carefully, Qin Zhu knew that powerful beings from all the heavens and the gods had arrived.

With such a lack of cooperation, how could the higher-ups possibly agree so easily?

"Fine, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!"

Qin Zhu knew that there was no turning back now.

A full-scale war with the order of the heavens has become an inevitable situation. Gathering divine power in his left index finger, he then grasped his left hand with his right hand and made a light stroke, leaving a bloody mark on Qin Zhu's hand.

Qin Zhu used his hand as a pen and his blood as ink to write a talisman in the air.

Blood-red light illuminated the sky above the palace, and powerful divine energy surged from the talismans in front of Qin Zhu.

"Nine Nether Rivers, heed my command, suspend yourself in mid-air!"

"When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked! Warriors of the Sha Gui tribe, the time for your revenge has come! Come out and let the gods of the heavens see the rage that has been burning in your hearts for thousands of years!"

After finishing his chant, Qin Zhu threw the talisman in front of him into the distance. As it flew, the talisman transformed into a giant circular disc and landed on the land of the Nine Netherworld.

The next instant, crimson demonic energy surged into the sky.

Seeing the scene before him, the Smiling Buddha was completely stunned.

This, this is!

"No, impossible! Wasn't the Demon Slayer tribe wiped out long ago? How could they still exist? How could the higher-ups not be able to sense their existence? Impossible! This is impossible!"

The Shaki tribe is a race that exists only in legends.

When the gods wanted to establish their own order, the Demon Clan made many contributions and did countless dirty deeds for them.

After committing these vile acts, the gods did not grant the Demon Tribe the reward they deserved; instead, they slaughtered the entire tribe.

Although the fate of the Sha Gui tribe was very tragic.

The strength of the Kesha Ghost Tribe is terrifying.

He, the Smiling Buddha, could manage to deal with one or two members of the Demon Tribe.

Besides their extremely strong combat abilities and killing instincts, the Kesha Ghost tribe also possesses a terrifying reproductive capacity.

It's easy to sense from the soaring aura of the demonic creatures that the demonic tribes hidden in the Netherworld are incredibly numerous.

"Hehehe, didn't you want to attack me, Jiuyou? Didn't you want to repeat the tragedy of thousands of years ago? Then come on, let this old man and the people of the Shagui tribe teach you a lesson!"

Are cases like "the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked" all too common?

Qin Zhu foresaw this event thousands of years ago, which is why he intervened at the bottom of the Nine Nether River when the Sha Gui tribe was about to be destroyed, creating a place where the Sha Gui tribe could survive.

With the Nine Nether River acting as a barrier, the Sha Gui tribe successfully evaded the perception of the gods, and even the An Xing tribe failed to detect their existence.

After thousands of years of recuperation, the strength of the Sha Gui tribe has recovered, even surpassing its former glory.

They also knew perfectly well that the Ghost Clan was able to regain its current glory thanks to the support of Qin Zhu, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Qin Zhu did this for the sake of Jiuyou's future.

As for the Sha Gui tribe, besides repaying a debt of gratitude, they also wanted to seek justice for the injustices suffered by their tribe.

Lin Yi's perception is very strong.

They could clearly sense the soaring aura of demonic energy.

From that crimson aura, Lin Yi sensed an overwhelming killing intent.

"What's with such a powerful killing intent?"

Lin Yi squinted, gazing at the River Styx behind him.
