In the center of the sea of red spider lilies stood a graceful young woman with exquisite features, flowing hair, and a beautiful appearance.
It is indeed the Spirit Bamboo.
Upon seeing Lin Xiao, Lingzhu's pretty face lit up with joy, and she happily exclaimed, "Big brother!"
Lin Xiao smiled as he approached Lingzhu, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "Lingzhu has grown up!"
Immortal Lord Duanmu glanced at Lin Xiao discreetly and transmitted his voice, "Is your thing proper?"
"Pah! Am I an improper person?"
Lin Xiao denied it outright, then glanced at Lingzhu's chest a few more times.
Hmm...it seems like I've definitely grown up!
At this moment, the men who had led Lin Xiao here bowed respectfully to Ling Zhu, saying, "Greetings, Inherited Empress!"
"Ok!"
Lingzhu nodded slightly.
She did not become arrogant after becoming the princess.
It's still the same as before.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Lingzhu, did the Underworld Emperor send you to pick us up?"
"Ok!"
Lingzhu smiled and nodded, "Big brother, come with me."
Lin Xiao smiled and walked forward with Lingzhu. As they walked, he said with a smile, "Lingzhu, after the affairs of the myriad realms are over, let's find an opportunity to go to the lower realm."
“Your brother Qingfeng is already married and has children, so we should keep our promise and go to his wedding! After all, that was our agreement.”
"Yes! I miss Brother Qingfeng too!" Lingzhu nodded obediently.
Lin Xiao's smile widened.
Deep within the sea of red spider lilies is a not-so-high mountain, but it looks exquisite, and at the foot of that mountain are pavilions, buildings, and palaces.
The environment here is much better than other parts of the underworld.
Even if it were placed in the demon realm or the god realm, it would be a rare and beautiful sight.
At this moment, an old man who looked like a hermit was fishing in a small lake at the foot of the mountain, looking relaxed and content.
He turned his head to look at Lin Xiao and smiled, "The Crown Prince is so young, yet he has already become a top expert. His talent is unimaginable!"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "I never expected that the legendary Underworld Emperor would be so otherworldly and dignified."
"Ha ha!"
The Underworld Emperor laughed heartily. At that moment, the raindrops stirred. With a gentle pull, he drew up a dark golden carp.
The carp's entire body had different patterns on each scale, shimmering with luster.
"The Crown Prince is very fortunate. This is a rare sight even in the underworld. If the spirits eat a bite, they can rebuild their physical bodies and return to the world of the living."
The Underworld Emperor laughed.
Lin Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "There are actually such rare creatures?"
Immortal Lord Duanmu said, "The Rebirth Koi is indeed very rare. This lake in front of the Underworld Emperor is probably connected to many places in the Underworld, right?"
"Immortal Lord Duanmu indeed has extraordinary insight. No wonder your alchemy skills are unmatched in the entire universe," the Underworld Emperor said with a smile.
The Underworld Emperor may appear to be fishing in the lake, but it is actually a bottomless lake.
His fishing line can extend to most parts of the underworld to catch rare and precious koi carp that have passed away.
The fishing rod and line of the Underworld Emperor were clearly not ordinary items.
With Lin Xiao's keen eyesight, he could sense that the fishing line was connected to the mysterious laws of the Dao.
"I owe my success to the Crown Prince's good fortune in catching this koi carp destined for rebirth. Why don't I give it to the Crown Prince?" The Underworld Emperor gently cast his fishing rod.
The next moment, the koi carp on the fishing hook flew towards Lin Xiao.
"Then I won't be polite!"
Lin Xiao stepped forward and took the koi carp that had passed away.
But at that moment, the fishhook flashed with a sharp light and flew straight toward Lin Xiao.
Chapter 750 Cause and Effect Reincarnation
No one expected that the Underworld Emperor would suddenly attack Lin Xiao.
However, the powerful emperors of the demon realm, such as the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor and the Ancient Xun Demon Emperor, still didn't take them seriously, unlike the supreme beings like the Underworld Emperor.
It's perfectly normal to want to test Lin Xiao's strength.
After all, given Lin Xiao's current talent, he will eventually be able to step into the Dao Realm and reach the pinnacle, even surpassing the ancient demon emperor Gu Xun who previously mocked Lin Xiao for being unable to break through to the Emperor level.
Thinking about it calmly afterwards, it seems unlikely.
Lin Xiao is too monstrous; even the forbidden rules of Heaven may not be effective against him.
There were only two people in the room, and they noticed something was wrong.
One is Immortal Lord Duanmu, and the other is Lin Xiao himself.
Lin Xiao sensed a real killing intent from the gleaming fishhook.
The Underworld Emperor wanted to kill him.
"Boom!"
Nine Heavenly Dao Array Patterns appeared around Lin Xiao one after another, and an incomparably profound cultivation surged forth, which was the cultivation of Immortal Lord Duanmu, Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor, and Ancient Xun Demon Emperor.
Lin Xiao can now borrow the cultivation of three top experts at once.
Although he did not break through to the Emperor realm, his strength was still increasing significantly.
However, at this moment, his profound cultivation was of no use whatsoever in front of the Underworld Emperor's fishhook, which easily pierced through.
Even the Nine Heavenly Dao Array Patterns could not stop it.
However, the moment the fishhook touched Lin Xiao's body, it was blocked by an invisible force and bounced back.
The Underworld Emperor is the oldest being in the Underworld.
He possesses a fundamental law of the Heavenly Dao: cause and effect, and reincarnation!
The purpose of the fishhook was to sever the karmic ties on Lin Xiao's body. This power of the fundamental laws of the Heavenly Dao is something that ordinary cultivation levels simply cannot withstand.
However, Lin Xiao's karmic entanglements were far too great.
He possesses three primordial sources of the Heavenly Dao, and his karma is the karma of the Heavenly Dao.
He also had unusual relationships with Tantai Liuli, the Demon Emperor, and Shen Lun. These were all Dao Realm Supremes on par with the Underworld Emperor, and their karmic connections were not so easily shaken.
So the fishhook bounced back.
Lin Xiao smiled and looked at the Underworld Emperor, saying, "I thought you would pretend for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to reveal your true colors so quickly."
The Underworld Emperor said calmly, "From the moment you entered the Underworld Mountain, I no longer needed to pretend. No one can easily walk out of the Underworld Mountain in front of me."
"Moreover, for you, Mount Ming is the greatest prison."
"I'm just curious, when did you first notice something was wrong?"
Lin Xiao explained with a smile, "There was actually no agreement between Lingzhu and Qingfeng to attend a wedding banquet, even if you can read Lingzhu's memories."
"But I suppose you wouldn't care about something as trivial as attending a wedding banquet, right?"
The Underworld Emperor nodded: "I really didn't pay much attention to it, I didn't expect that the problem was here."
There was clearly no such agreement, yet Lingzhu readily agreed just now, which means the lie has been exposed.
Lin Xiao continued, "Actually, it's not just about this matter, but also about your environment here. Since you are the oldest being in the Underworld, the Underworld is your homeland."
Who doesn't love their homeland?
"So in other people's eyes, the lifeless underworld should be your favorite place, but here it is full of life, with birds singing and flowers blooming."
"Emperor of the Underworld, something's wrong with your state of mind!"
"Oh right... and the koi fish for the dead. What would I, a living person, need that thing for? Aren't you just implying that you want to kill me?"
"I think this is an explicit implication!"
"Hahaha... Interesting, interesting!" The Underworld Emperor laughed heartily. "You've come this far, you must be an exceptionally intelligent person."
At this moment, the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor, the Ancient Xun Demon Emperor, and others had already sensed that something was wrong.
They all looked rather unwell.
If a fight breaks out, they'll have to self-destruct!
Immortal Lord Duanmu said, "Emperor of the Underworld, Lin Xiao said something very insightful: there's something wrong with your state of mind. Haven't you realized it yourself?"
"Immortal Lord Duanmu, with your cultivation level, you are not qualified to speak about my state of mind." The Underworld Emperor merely glanced at Immortal Lord Duanmu indifferently.
Lin Xiao did not dwell on the matter any further.
He never considered trying to restore the Underworld Emperor's state of mind, as the Underworld Emperor was absolutely confident in his own strength.
It's not something that can be swayed by a few words.
Lin Xiao simply asked, "What did you do to Lingzhu? Possess her? Or just temporarily control her?"
After the Underworld Emperor made his move, Lingzhu's expression turned cold and desolate, her eyes lost their luster, and she stood there like a puppet on a string.
However, after careful observation, Lin Xiao was still unable to discern Lingzhu's current condition.
"No rush, you'll find out the answer yourself in a bit," the Underworld Emperor said with a slight smile.
"Alright! Then let's talk about your relationship with Dao Yi?" Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. "When did you start cooperating with Dao Yi?"
"How about we talk about the conditions Dao Yi offered? Maybe I can give you the same benefits, or even more."
The Underworld Emperor did not respond, but instead smiled and said, "Lin Xiao, based on my understanding of you, you are a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."
“If we had been friends from the beginning, you might have been very generous, and I would have believed everything you said, but now we are on opposite sides.”
“But you never show mercy to your enemies, and you can’t believe a single word you say.”
