Chapter 872 Obstacles? Or Allies?
After giving the order, Qin Zhu rushed to the entrance of the Nine Netherworld at full speed.

He knew very well what kind of organization Dark Rising was.

The things that Anxing arranged himself and the things that he took the initiative to help resolve are two completely different things.

He could no longer remain in his position as Lord of the Nine Netherworlds; he had to find a stable place for himself. Dark Rise was his only option, and he had to personally hand over his pledge of allegiance.

"Kid, just you wait."

After saying that, Qin Zhu unleashed his full speed and rushed towards the outer edge of the Nine Netherworld.

That's right, he also possesses abilities similar to the Touch of Reincarnation.

You can obtain the memories of an inanimate object from its previous life by touching it.

He memorized Lin Yi's aura, and as long as he got a little closer, he was able to sense Lin Yi's presence.

As for Lin Yi and his group, just as Qin Zhu had expected, they were trying to find a way to approach the outer perimeter of the Nine Netherworld.

The only way to leave this place of trouble is to return to the same path we came from.

On this path, they also need to do their best to avoid the Nine Netherworld Divine Soldiers along the way.

Just as Lin Yi and his companions were about to leave the Nine Nether City, a middle-aged man dressed in black robes blocked their path.

At this moment, Lin Yi and his two companions were about to step out of the gates of the Nine Netherworld Inner City when they unexpectedly encountered such a change.

The middle-aged man in front of her had a restrained aura, and he did not release any fluctuations of divine power or primordial power.

"Greetings, three young people. It must be fate that allowed me to intercept you three before you left."

Qin Zhu's attitude was very polite, making it hard to hate him.

Lin Yi was unsure whether he should take action immediately.

"Excuse me, senior?"

It was easy to see the power of the middle-aged man in front of him from the interpretation of time by the All-Seeing Eye. Even though he guessed that the two sides were at odds, Lin Yi felt that he should be a polite young man.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhu's gaze towards Lin Yi instantly changed.

Those who could target Shakyamuni were either people secretly plotting or people from the heavens and gods; the former was relatively more likely.

It is easy to see from Lin Yi's speech that he is a young man with vision, politeness, and neither servility nor arrogance.

Such an outstanding young man, who is also a potential colleague in the future, is hard not to admire, to be honest. Therefore, Qin Zhu plans to give him a chance.

"Not bad, young man. Such perception is beyond my expectations. Since you have guessed my identity, there is no need for us to beat around the bush."

"There are only two questions. If you cooperate well, you can leave. It's that simple."

Hearing this, Lin Yi was about 80% certain about the other party's identity.

"Senior, please tell me."

Qin Zhu held up two fingers.

"The first question is, who do you work for? Are you working for the Dark Star or for those higher-ups? Be honest and don't try to fob me off with lies."

After saying that, Qin Zhu retracted one finger.

"The second question is, where did Shakyamuni go? Hand him over."

"After you've done all this, you can leave."

You know what, Qin Zhu really does things straightforwardly and decisively, which Lin Yi really likes.

The first two questions are not difficult, but the second one is very hard to answer.

Based on the words of the person in front of him, Lin Yi was quite certain that the person in front of him should be the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, Lin You and Qin Guang's father—Qin Zhu!
Lin Yi paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then spoke.

“We work for Anxing, and our mission here is to take Shakyamuni away.”

"The second question is about Shakyamuni. We haven't seen him, but we know he's dead." Upon hearing this, Qin Zhu's originally kind eyes instantly turned sharp.

Shakyamuni is dead? What about Qin Zhu's pledge of allegiance?

With nothing, how could Anxing protect him and the Nine Netherworlds behind him?

"Senior, please don't get agitated. We can explain things."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Qin Zhu, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?"

Qin Zhu's gaze softened for a moment.

The fact that the young man in front could guess his identity demonstrates his ability.

My curiosity was immediately piqued.

He wanted to see what the young man in front of him had to say.

"Our mission this time is to take Shakyamuni away. As for the ultimate goal, I'm sure you know better than us. We three know our strength is limited, so we used disguise skills to infiltrate and reduce the battle with Jiuyou."

At this point, Lin Yi deactivated his [72 Transformations] skill, and the three of them revealed their original appearances.

This action can be seen as a demonstration of sincerity.

"By creating chaos and scapegoating, we obtained the qualification to enter the eighteen levels of hell and successfully entered. After dealing with the guards of the Punishment Department, we arrived at the sealed land, which is the entrance to the Nine Nether River."

"The blood that broke the seal is the blood of your daughter, Qin Xinxin."

Upon hearing this, an overwhelming killing intent surged forth from Qin Zhu's body.

Qin Zhu loved every one of his children. Even though his eldest daughter was rebellious and ruined his plans, she was still the apple of his eye.

Upon hearing that Lin Yi had used his daughter's blood to break the seal, he flew into a rage and reached out to grab Lin Yi's head.

At this critical moment, a spatial fluctuation unfolded from Lin Yi's side, and then a petite figure appeared in front of him.

Lin Qianqian!
Or rather, Qin Qianqian!

"You, you are, Qianqian?!"

After more than a thousand years, Qin Qianqian had changed quite a bit, and at first glance, Qin Zhu felt a little unfamiliar with her.

However, Qin Zhu could still sense from that incredibly familiar bloodline aura that the little girl in front of him was his daughter.

"Father, sister, she's dead!"

As she spoke, Qin Qianqian threw herself into Qin Zhu's arms.

These few simple words caused Qin Zhu's thoughts to freeze instantly. His daughter was a powerful being at the level of a high god. How many people in the Three Realms and Six Paths could threaten her life?

Qin Zhu found it hard to believe that all of this was real.

"Don't be impatient, speak slowly."

Qin Zhu felt a pang of heartache as he watched his daughter shed tears.

But as a father, he must give his youngest daughter a greater sense of security at this moment.

"Father, the one who attacked was my elder brother's subordinate, Old Ghost. He used the Soul-Shattering Blade, the divine weapon my elder brother gave me. My sister was hit by the Soul-Shattering Blade, that's why..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhu's anger burned even more fiercely.

He never imagined that his own son would do something as cruel as killing his own brother.

“Senior Qin Zhu, Shakyamuni has been gone for some time. His soul should be in Qin Guang’s hands. After killing the old ghost that possessed it, I threw his body into the River Styx in the Nine Netherworld.”

"This is what we've been doing since we arrived here. As for why I was able to open that special seal, it's because of Lin You, also known as Qin Xinxin. She's my partner, and she's here to help me complete my mission. The current situation has exceeded my expectations, so we're thinking of leaving this Nine Nether Land as soon as possible."
