Zhang Qingyuan's group of nine went to look for the Nether Lord. Lin Feng, Leng Wuxin, and the other nine did not go with them.
Many of them had the same idea as Lin Feng. They would rather fight the Nether Lord than submit and become his slaves.
Since ancient times, many cultivators had fought for their freedom without any regrets.
Endless darkness shrouded the land. In the darkness, a hazy figure walked toward Zhang Qingyuan and the other eight.
"Great Nether Lord, we're here to seek refuge from you. We're willing to become your Nether Devil Slaves!"
Zhang Qingyuan and the others knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Nether Lord.
The Nether Lord let out a strange laugh and said, "All of you are quite self-aware."
Zhang Qingyuan quickly said, "It's our honor to be able to serve my lord."
The Nether Lord said gloomily, "Do all of you know what you'll have to do after becoming a Nether Devil Slave?"
Zhang Qingyuan and the others quickly lowered their heads and said, "No matter what it is, we're willing to go through fire and water without hesitation. We definitely won't disappoint my lord."
"In that case, I'll give all of you a chance to become a Nether Devil Slave. As long as you pass the test, you'll become a Nether Devil Slave."
The Nether Lord said meaningfully.
"We'll obey my lord's command." The group of people quickly replied.
The Nether Lord said, "Kill everyone other than the nine of you and bring their heads to me. At that time, all of you will become my Nether Devil Slaves."
Zhang Qingyuan and the others' expressions changed abruptly.
They did not expect the Nether Lord to make such a request.
He was asking them to kill each other.
Zhang Qingyuan said, "My lord, there are a few powerful people among those people. Their cultivation bases are close to the True God Realm. We're willing but powerless."
"Either they die or all of you die. I won't listen to any excuses." The Nether Lord swept his right hand.
In an instant.
Zhang Qingyuan and the others were swept away.
…
"What should we do now?" A God State expert said.
Zhang Qingyuan said with a gloomy expression, "A man is not a man if he is petty. Since those people don't know about the request that the Nether Lord has made to us, we'll defeat them one by one and win their favor first. After that, we'll make our move by poisoning them or ambushing them. I guarantee that we'll be able to take their lives."
"Alright, let's do it!" The group of people nodded.
Then, they quickly left. Not long after, they encountered two Deity Realm cultivators. These two people were called Lu Ansheng and Lu Anshi. They were a pair of brothers.
The brothers sneered when they saw Zhang Qingyuan and the others. They despised Zhang Qingyuan and the others for wanting to seek refuge with the Nether Lord.
"Brother Zhang …" Zhang Qingyuan and the others cupped their fists.
Lu Ansheng said with an indifferent expression, "Aren't all of you going to look for the Nether Lord and rely on him? Why are you here? "
Zhang Qingyuan said, "Our previous decision was due to our lack of consideration. We've discussed it and decided to give up on this plan. There are so many of us. If we join forces, even the Nether Lord might not be able to kill us. Why should we rely on the Nether Lord? Moreover, I don't believe that this Netherworld Cave is flawless. There must be a way out. If we search for it patiently, we'll definitely find it. "
The Lu brothers' expressions softened when they heard Zhang Qingyuan's words. They said, "Now that everyone is scattered around looking for an exit, why don't we gather everyone again and discuss a countermeasure?"
"I'm sure our previous actions have disappointed all of you. When the time comes, we'll need both Brother Lu's help to deal with them." Zhang Qingyuan said.
Lu Anshi nodded and said, "Don't worry. We'll definitely resolve the misunderstanding."
Lu Ansheng said, "If that's the case, let's go and look for the others now."
Zhang Qingyuan and the others had no objections. The group then flew into the distance.
Zhang Qingyuan and the other eight people exchanged glances. They purposely fell behind the Lu brothers.
Then, the nine of them attacked at the same time and ambushed the Lu brothers from behind.
* Boom! *
The combined sneak attack of nine Gods was naturally incomparably terrifying.
The Lu brothers were indeed powerful.
However, they hadn't expected Zhang Qingyuan and the others to ambush them.
Thus, when faced with Zhang Qingyuan and the others' attacks, the Lu brothers didn't even have time to react before they were sent flying.
The two brothers fell to the ground and coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
The blood they coughed up was mixed with their internal organs.
It was obvious that their internal organs had been destroyed by the attacks of the nine Deities.
These injuries were almost fatal.
"You …" The two brothers pointed at Zhang Qingyuan and the others, their eyes filled with boundless hatred.
"Don't hate us. If you want to hate, hate yourselves for not knowing how to appreciate kindness and not standing on the same side as us."
Zhang Qingyuan sneered, raised his right hand, and beheaded the Lu brothers.
…
Lin Feng continued walking towards the depths of the Netherworld Cave.
Leng Wuxin followed him.
She said, "You seem to have an idea of how to escape?"
Lin Feng said indifferently, "The Nether Lord is so terrifying. It won't be easy to escape. However, there might be a special place in the depths of this Netherworld Cave, right?"
"It's worth a look. However, it'll be terrible if we encounter the Nether Lord. I'm guessing that place might be the Nether Lord's lair."
Leng Wuxin frowned slightly.
"What do you think is the Nether Lord's cultivation base?" Lin Feng asked.
Leng Wuxin replied, "The True God Realm …"
Lin Feng sighed and said, "He's too powerful. It's really despairing."
Leng Wuxin said, "A few years ago, I read about the Nether Lord in a Daoist Scripture. I wonder if it's related to the Nether Lord before us?"
"What's in the Daoist Scripture?" Lin Feng asked.
"The Nether Lord doesn't refer to a single person. To be precise, it's a position bestowed by the Netherworld. It's just like how there are many generals in the mortal countries. A general is a position, and the Nether Lord is also a position."
Leng Wuxin explained.
Lin Feng stroked his chin and said, "If that's the case, there should be more than one Nether Lord in this world."
Leng Wuxin nodded and said, "That's right … The Nether Lord's duty is to guard the entrances to the Netherworld."
"According to legend, the Netherworld is one of the Three Highest Realms that surpasses the Three Thousand Major Realms. It's mysterious and ancient, and it should have passageways to many other worlds. That's why there are many Nether Lords."
Lin Feng said.
Leng Wuxin nodded and said, "That's right! They're equivalent to the guardians of the passageways. That's why I'm guessing that the entrance to the Netherworld is in the depths of the Netherworld Cave. Perhaps the Nether Lord's weakness is there! "
Lin Feng said, "If we can find the Nether Lord's weakness, we might be able to shake him off and leave the Netherworld Cave."
