It was that person who arranged for Wei Chenzi, an elder in the Yuanying state of the Zhongzhou School, to assassinate Zhao Layue and then be silenced.
The Dace Devil in the Muddy River and Xiwang Sun's plan to draw out Liu Shisui were also arranged by that person.
The Underworld was behind these two events, indicating that that person still had a great influence on the Underworld even today.
The King Of The Underworld's face was too pale to show his displeasure, but his anger could be sensed from the peculiar glint in his eyes.
Those audacious slaves, those useless trash, they were actually willing to be ordered around by a human …
As he was about to denounce them, he suddenly thought of his own experience, falling silent.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where does Taiping's prestige come from? Don't those slaves know that it was he who harmed me? "
Jing Jiu said, "He entered the Underworld again three hundred years ago. It's not difficult for him to gain his current prestige based on his ability and the foundation he left in the Underworld. If nobody stops him, nobody can stop him from entering the Underworld again after he recovers his Cultivation state. "
The King Of The Underworld asked while staring into his eyes, "Do you think Taiping will shake the foundation of the Underworld?"
Jing Jiu said, "The reason the Underworld hasn't produced a new King Of The Underworld is because you can't appoint a successor; but the more important reason is that the Underworld Master refused to appoint a new emperor in your name. As a result, he can't wage war against the human world anymore, and can only manage to maintain the current situation. What do you think will happen if that person enters the Underworld again? "
That person might instigate a war between the Underworld and the human race, just like the war between Bulao Lin and the orthodox Cultivation sects.
Jing Jiu still wasn't sure what that person wanted to gain from the destruction of Bulao Lin, but he was certain that that person wanted to gain something from the war between the Underworld and the human world.
"As long as I'm alive, the legacy of the King Of The Underworld will never end. As for the upcoming war … what does that have to do with a prisoner like me?"
The King Of The Underworld said, "You are threatening me with the affairs of the human world. This is really absurd. Taiping has escaped. Shouldn't you be the most worried?"
Jing Jiu said, "But you will die in the end."
The verdant valley suddenly became quiet.
Jing Jiu continued, "When my realm is sufficient, I will enter the Underworld and pass on the King Of The Underworld's cultivation method to your designated successor, or directly help him ascend to the position of King Of The Underworld."
The King Of The Underworld's black pupils moved slightly as he said, "The King Of The Underworld's Seal is in your hands?"
"Yes," replied Jing Jiu.
The King Of The Underworld fell silent once more.
During the negotiation, the humans suddenly turned hostile and attacked him together.
He had sensed it beforehand, so he dodged the first attack. He was to use the Seal of the King Of The Underworld to kill the female practitioner with the surname Bai and then flee during the chaos.
All of a sudden, a powerful force struck down from the outside of the Thunder Region, blasting his soul-fire and almost killing him.
That powerful force was unimaginably dreadful. It was comparable to the heavenly punishment that the swordsmen of the human race encountered when they ascended.
He had vaguely guessed the origin of this powerful force. Feeling hopeless, his Underworld Wheel was disturbed a bit, and he was trapped by the pen of Yimaozhai, and then knocked unconscious by a horn that broke through the clouds.
By the time he woke up, he was locked up in the Fiend Prison, and the King Of The Underworld's Seal had disappeared without a trace.
Over the years, he had often calculated where the King Of The Underworld's Seal was, thinking that it was most likely to be on the Cloud-Dream Mountain. Unexpectedly, it was in the hands of a disciple of Aoyama.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, asking, "Did your human race give my Royal Seal to Taiping as a reward?"
"That's right," replied Jing Jiu.
The King Of The Underworld laughed out loud, full of mockery and disdain. "It turns out that that guy is even more pitiful than me," he said. "He is merely a dog who tries his best to help his master catch the biggest prey, but he can't even have a sip of the meat soup. All he has been rewarded with is a bone that he can never chew or eat."
If he couldn't cultivate the Control of Soul-Fire, he couldn't use the King Of The Underworld's Seal.
The King Of The Underworld's Seal was of course the most precious treasure of the three realms, but it was merely a piece of rock in the hands of Taiping Zhenren, except that it looked better.
Jing Jiu agreed with what the King Of The Underworld said, because the King Of The Underworld's Seal was merely a piece of rock in his hands. It wasn't until this time that the King Of The Underworld finally played a role.
The King Of The Underworld suddenly asked, "Is the King Of The Underworld's Seal in your hands?"
He had asked the same question earlier, but the meaning was different.
"I'm not stupid," said Jing Jiu.
This statement had a few different meanings, for example, he was wary of the Fiend Prison or the King Of The Underworld.
All in all, he meant that the King Of The Underworld's Seal was not with him at the moment.
The King Of The Underworld remained silent for a while, folding his hands behind his back.
During this short period of time, Jing Jiu did some self-reflection.
It was a rare act for him to do so.
He had thought about all these things when he stayed behind closed doors in Aoyama, and he had made arrangements for them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find the King Of The Underworld.
He had also prepared the following conversation, from the way he addressed Jing Jiu as "uncle" in advance.
Now he suddenly found that he had been influenced by some people and had made a simple matter complicated.
The negotiation didn't need to be as thorough as Gu Qing's.
It was pointless to pretend to be as considerate as Zhao Layue's, or to be as talkative as Liu Shisui's, or to be as shameless as Yuan Qu's.
Jing Jiu was after all not a young disciple of Aoyama, so he couldn't imitate Jing Jiu no matter how hard he tried.
As such, Jing Jiu decided to make the matter simpler. He didn't stop the King Of The Underworld even though he knew what he was up to.
…
…
The King Of The Underworld suddenly remarked sentimentally, "You are like your Master in some aspects. Unfortunately, you are still a bit young, and a bit naive."
Jing Jiu had already made up his mind, so he didn't bother to say anything more.
The King Of The Underworld was a bit surprised, but he still said, "I know the King Of The Underworld's Seal is with you."
Jing Jiu looked at him in Silence, saying nothing.
From the King Of The Underworld's point of view, Jing Jiu's behavior was completely different from before. Jing Jiu thought Jing Jiu was tricking him, and a mocking smile appeared on his pale face.
"I know how terrifying that dark space is. There's no definite location or direction there. Even your Master and the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom couldn't find me, so how did you do it? Naturally, it's because you're carrying something that can connect with my mind. There's only one such thing in the world, and that's the King Of The Underworld's Seal! "
Jing Jiu thought that it was unnecessary to say such a simple inference one more time.
The King Of The Underworld said expressionlessly, "You actually want to deceive me. That's ridiculous."
Jing Jiu suddenly asked, "Is it because you haven't spoken for too long that you want to talk?"
The King Of The Underworld asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I know you don't want to talk, but you need to delay for a period of time to use the Control of Soulfire."
Jing Jiu looked at him and said, "By now, those soulfires must have entered this world through the soles of your feet and turned into a large net to trap me."
The King Of The Underworld's black pupils constricted slightly. "Since you know, why don't you point it out or run away?"
"You and that person are used to controlling everything, and it's impossible for me to give you what you want the most, so you'll definitely try to do something. But if I point out your plan or run away, you'll repeat the same thing until you give up all hope. It's very slow to keep trying, and time is very precious. "
Jing Jiu said, "So let's make things simpler. You should quickly do what you want to do and prove that it's meaningless. Only then can you move on to the next step."
