There are numerous ravines in this huge underwater mountain range. Many magnificent and noble caves are located one after another on the top of the underwater mountain, on the mountainside or on the flat ground. At first glance, tens of thousands of caves have been built and Xiuyaoists are coming and going in groups.
Compared to the Blood-red Ridge, this place is much more prosperous.
In the middle of this huge underwater mountain range, the huge Nine Spirits Hall has been built. Standing on the Nine Spirits Hall, one can see how small all the other mountains are. None of the other caves is as tall as the Nine Spirits Hall. The Nine Spirits Hall occupies an even larger area than the Nine Spirits Hall.
The Nine Spirits Hall as a whole is in the shape of 12 Capital Gates. 12 palaces have been built at the 12 formation eyes. Between the 12 palaces, there are gardens, courtyards, pavilions and so on. The number of guards in the entire Nine Spirits Hall has reached an astonishing several tens of thousands.
It can be said that the number of guards in the Nine Spirits Hall alone is comparable to that in the Blood-red Ridge.
In the Nine Spirits Hall, Great Majesty Di Long's palace, Di Long Palace.
Di Long is wearing a purple robe. He is sitting casually on a chair and slowly drinking wine in his cup. He looks like he is enjoying himself very much. Even though he is enjoying himself, Di Long's entire body naturally gives off a kind of oppressive feeling.
After drinking a cup, the beautiful maids beside him immediately help him fill it up.
"Life is limitless so we should enjoy every moment to the fullest. Don't you think I'm right, girls?" Di Long strokes his hard stubble and asks the 2 charming maids beside him casually.
One of the maids, who looks charming, hurriedly says: "Great Majesty is right. Great Majesty is wise."
Di Long nods his head in satisfaction.
Drops of sweat seep out of the 2 maids' brows. This Great Majesty is very eccentric and overbearing. If their reaction cannot satisfy Di Long, perhaps the result … even thinking about it makes them tremble with fear. While Di Long is enjoying his wine,
"Great Majesty, Great Majesty, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened!" Rapid shouts suddenly rise outside Di Long Palace.
Di Long frowns. His eyes flash with coldness.
"Who are you? This is Di Long Palace. Trespassers will be killed without question!" The chief guard of Di Long Palace shouts loudly.
At this moment, the captain of the guards who had rushed over suddenly stopped. His heart was trembling. He had just received news of the eighth prince's death, and he was so terrified that he had forgotten the rules of the Nine Spirits Hall. Trespassing into twelve palaces was a death sentence!
"Your Highness, I am the captain of the guards in charge of the soul jade slips …"
"Let him in!"
When Di Long heard the words' soul jade slip ', his heart trembled. For the captain of the soul jade slip to be so nervous, something big must have happened. After receiving the order, that guard leader rushes into Di Long Palace at once.
"Tell me, what happened?" Di Long says coldly.
The guard captain suddenly knelt down on one knee. Sweat began to seep out of his face. He said in alarm, "Your Highness, something bad has happened. When I went to check the soul jade slip today, I discovered … discovered …" The guard captain stuttered. He even felt his throat dry up.
"Tell me quickly, tell me clearly, otherwise I'll kill you directly!" Seeing that the guard captain could not say the most important thing, Di Long could not help becoming furious.
The guard captain swallowed hard then said: "8th prince, it was 8th prince."
"What happened to 8th prince? Don't talk nonsense. You can't talk nonsense about this matter. Be careful or your soul will scatter!" Di Long suddenly stood up and shouts furiously. Di Long already had a guess but he did not want to believe it.
"8th prince is dead. His soul jade slip has been broken." The guard captain was frightened inside. "Your Highness, I'm definitely not lying. I saw it with my own eyes."
Di Long's face immediately turned pale.
In an instant, Di Long remembers how the 9 little aquatic dragons lived with difficulty when they were young. Their lives were always threatened at all times. The 9 little aquatic dragons worked together to kill and rob others or devour other demonic beasts.
All along the way, the 9 brothers helped each other to kill one enemy after another. They stepped on other people's corpses to reach a higher position.
Finally, after several thousand years, the 9 Di Long underwent the 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation and took human form. At the same time, they also became one of the 3 superpowers of the underwater Xiuyao world. The 9 brothers were all called 'majesties' in the Nine Spirits Hall. None of them was higher than the other. Even though Di Long, the great majesty, was the most powerful one. He was still only a majesty, not a hallmaster!
The 9 brothers were blood brothers. Their feelings for each other were simply not something that other people could understand.
"8th brother!" Di Long's deep voice rose. His eyes began to redden.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~" Di Long suddenly raised his arms high and roared madly in pain.
With Di Long as the center, a frantic blast of energy suddenly exploded in all directions. The 2 maids behind him were immediately blown to pieces without being able to resist at all. The kneeling guard captain hurriedly dodged but one of his legs was still blown off.
Di Long Hall was instantly covered in blood.
"Di Qing, Di Xu, Di Yang, Di Feng, Di Jian, Di Luan, Di Nai. The 7 of you, go to the place where the soul jade slips are kept immediately. "Di Long suddenly shouts coldly. His voice resounds through the entire Nine Spirits Hall and reverberates nonstop.
Di Long himself immediately pierces through the air with a whooshing sound and rushes towards the place where the soul jade slips are kept.
The soul jade slips are kept in a pavilion. In the past, few people came here often. Apart from the guards protecting the soul jade slips in the pavilion, the 9 majesties rarely came here. However, at this moment, various purple rays of light descend from the sky.
With a flash of light, a person appears. In an instant, the 8 of them land outside the pavilion where the soul jade slips are kept.
The other 7 majesties look at each other. They all have a bad feeling in their hearts. Under normal circumstances, their big brother Di Long would call them 2nd brother, 3rd brother or 2nd brother and 3rd brother very enthusiastically. But just now he called them by their names directly.
"Big brother, what actually happened?" 2nd brother Di Qing hurriedly asks.
"Big brother, you told us to come here. Could it be that some people died? But those subordinates have already died. Why did you tell us to come here? Was it worth it?" 4th brother Di Yang curls his lips and says. Suddenly, 4th brother Di Yang seems to think of something. His face changes color: "Big brother, could it be …"
Di Long's expression is frighteningly unsightly. He immediately kicks with his foot. His powerful demonic elemental energy directly rips apart that restrictive spell.
Peng!
The door of the pavilion is shattered. Di Long, Di Qing and the other 7 majesties all see clearly that the 8th soul jade slip at the top has already been shattered. Seeing this scene, the other 7 majesties' faces start to change color almost at the same time.
Anger, killing intent, pain …
The other 7 majesties' expressions also change completely. All of them feel pain in their hearts. Their killing intent becomes even more monstrous. At the moment, outside the pavilion where the soul jade slips are, the killing intent of the 8 majesties fills the air. A terrifying oppressive feeling covers the entire Nine Spirits Hall.
For several thousand years, the 9 brothers have supported each other. They have been cruel and merciless to their enemies and have killed them without batting an eye. But the 9 brothers can block swords and sabers for each other. They have a very deep affection for each other.
"Big brother, tell me, who killed 8th brother? Who did it? I'll go and tear him apart alive!" Di Xu's whole body trembles. He shouts at Di Long with very red eyes.
Di Long, however, remains silent.
"Kill, who did it? Who killed 8th brother? I'll definitely avenge 8th brother, avenge 8th brother!" 2nd brother Di Qing also cannot restrain the anger in his heart.
All the majesties in the Nine Spirits Hall wish they could eat the murderer's flesh and drink his blood. However, how can First Majesty Di Long, who is being questioned, know who the murderer is? He only knows that his 8th brother has just died.
Who can kill a middle Dongxu stage Purple Demon aquatic dragon within 90 million li of the Nine Spirits Hall?
"Big brother." An ice-cold voice rises. It is none other than 6th brother Di Jian.
Among the 9 Purple Demon aquatic dragon brothers, the eldest brother Di Long ranks first in terms of power and is at the late Dongxu stage. 8th brother Di Tong ranks third in terms of power and is at the middle Dongxu stage. The one who ranks second is 6th brother Di Jian, who is usually rather taciturn and has reached the late Dongxu stage!
"Tell me who the murderer is. I'll go and catch him." Di Jian's eyes flash with coldness like arrows.
The other brothers all understand what Di Jian means. Why do they want to kill the murderer? They want to catch the murderer and torture him slowly. They want him to live a life worse than death. They want him to experience one torture after another so that he can neither live nor die. Only by doing this can they be reconciled.
Di Long takes a look at his brothers, who are filled with killing intent, and says helplessly with a shake of his head: "Murderer? I still don't know who the murderer is. Everybody knows 8th brother's power. Who could have killed him? But I only know one thing. 2 years ago, I sent him to infiltrate the Red Blood Cave for one of the 9 Swords. Now that he has died, it should have something to do with the Red Blood Cave. "
"The Red Blood Cave?" 2nd brother Di Qing frowns: "Even though the Red Blood Cave's master Chahón is pretty strong, he was still no match for 8th brother."
Di Jian says coldly: "Why are you talking so much? Let's go to the Red Blood Cave to investigate first. We'll definitely find some clues. If we really can't find the murderer, then … we'll kill everyone who might be the murderer! "Di Jian's eyes are bone-chillingly cold.
If he has killed someone, he will not let them off.
None of the other brothers object to Di Jian's words. Instead, their eyes emit astonishing killing intent.
In the eyes of the 8 brothers, all the other experts in the entire underwater world of Xiuyaoists put together are inferior to 8th brother. Anyone who dares to kill one of their brothers is an enemy of the 8 of them.
Di Long immediately orders: "Alright, 8th brother is already at the middle Dongxu stage so we have to be at least at the Dongxu stage to kill him. There are only so many Dongxu stage Xiuyaoists in the entire underwater world. But … we'll wait until the last one. We'll investigate first. If we can't find anything, we'll carry out the last one. Brothers, who wants to go to the Red Blood Cave to investigate? "
"Big brother, you stay in charge of the Nine Spirits Hall. I'll go." Di Jian says coldly.
The other brothers secretly nod. In terms of power, this cold Di Jian is definitely second only to big brother. Moreover, some of them suspect that Di Jian's power may even surpass big brother's. After all, both Di Long and Di Jian are at the late Dongxu stage.
Since Di Jian is going personally, everybody feels relieved.
"I'll go too." 2nd brother Di Qing also says.
7th brother Di Luan also says: "I'll go too. I'd like to see who actually killed 8th brother." 7th brother Di Luan is filled with killing intent.
Seeing that the other brothers all want to go and investigate, Di Long immediately says: "6th brother, 2nd brother and 7th brother will go together. It'll be enough. With the 3 of them, perhaps nobody will be able to kill them. The rest of you stay in charge of the Nine Spirits Hall with me. "
Di Jian and the other 2 brothers' attacks are indeed very powerful. Perhaps only the overlord of the Blue Dragon Temple, Azure Dragon, and Old Freak Three-Eyed of the Blue River Province can kill them. However, these 2 are the supreme existences among underwater Xiuyaoists so how can they possibly lower themselves to kill people in the Nine Spirits Hall at will?
"Big brother, the 3 of us shouldn't tarry. We'll set off right away." 2nd brother Di Qing folds his hands. Di Jian and Di Luan also fold their hands and bid farewell to their brothers.
"2nd brother, 6th brother, 7th brother, I'll leave 8th brother's revenge to you." Di Long says solemnly. Di Xu, Di Yang, Di Feng and Di Nai also fold their hands and bid farewell to Di Jian and the other 2 brothers.
Afterwards, Di Jian, Di Qing and Di Luan immediately turn into beams of light and leave the Nine Spirits Hall.

In the main hall of the Red Blood Cave,
Qin Yu flings his robe and sits down directly in the main hall. There are two thrones on each side of Qin Yu's seat. Hou Fei is sitting on one of them while the other is still empty. It is none other than the one Qin Yu reserved for Kuroh.
"Cave master."
The 3 black tortoise brothers, the 2 tiger sharks Wu Tong and Wu Feng, the 2 snake women Yan Qing and Xi Yan, Ya Zhong and Teng Bi, the 9 guardians bow and say respectfully at the same time. Since Qin Yu defeated Teng Bi with one strike, the 9 guardians no longer doubt Qin Yu's power. As for Hou Fei's power, there is no need to doubt it.
"Cave master!"
The 50 squad leaders kneel down on one knee and say at the same time. These 50 squad leaders represent the 5000 guardians. Now they also know that Chahón is dead and that the new cave master is guardian Liu Xing.
"Here, I'm going to announce some rules." Qin Yu looks down at the 9 guardians and the 50 squad leaders below and says indifferently.
Everybody below listens respectfully to his order.
"From now on, my Red Blood Cave is no longer the main cave master and vice cave master. It's the cave master, 2nd cave master and 3rd cave master. There is no difference between the 3 cave masters. You can learn from the 9 hallmasters of the Nine Spirits Hall. Do you all understand, guardians? "
Qin Yu's first order had caused everyone below to be shocked.
To Qin Yu, the cave master position is not very important. The reason why he has occupied the Red Blood Cave is so that he and his brothers can establish themselves. Qin Yu is not willing to be under someone else's command. Moreover, Qin Yu knows that the Nine Spirits Hall will definitely not let Di Tong's death off the hook so easily.
Facing the Nine Spirits Hall, Qin Yu and his 2 brothers naturally work together as one. Even if the sky falls and the earth rends, as long as the 3 brothers work together, what obstacle can they not overcome?
However, at the moment Qin Yu does not know how deep the bond between the 9 brothers of the Nine Spirits Hall is and how furious and hateful the 8 majesties of the Nine Spirits Hall are. Even the 3 majesties led by Di Jian have already rushed here.
