Chapter 2344 – Ten Kings of the Netherworld
”Fellow Daoist Han, be merciful, you’ve passed the test! These eight Yellow Springs Ghost Kings are still of some use to the old immortal, so I hope you’ll stay your hand for a bit.” Seeing this situation, the monk’s eyes flashed with a surprised expression, but immediately a long sleeve shook, immediately a strange fluctuation in front of the golden vortex surged out, and at once will be a huge suction force cut open.
Eight evil ghosts a recovery of freedom, immediately issued a low roar, have turned into a bit of black gas disappeared.
”Taoist friend don’t worry, in the next how will really to these ghosts shot, just a moment of curiosity, also want to measure their real strength how.” Han Li let out a low laugh, behind the phantom and golden vortex at the same time a flash and extinguished, but in his hands out of thin air more than a ball as black as ink to, and quite interested in the survey ceaselessly.
It is he previously used the hole whirlpool golden light to collect up the yellow spring yin wind.
However, this Yin wind has now been compressed into a ball with its great magic power, only to become the appearance in front of him.
”Brother Han’s great aptitude far exceeds my expectations. It seems that the rumors are truly true, and this test of the old monk’s is somewhat drawn out and superfluous.” The monk exhaled a breath of air and said, only that the expression on his face was still wooden and abnormal.
”After Brother Bi has finished his test, is it possible to speak with me about business.” Han Li ignored the monk’s previous words and directly asked a rhetorical question.
”Good, of course fellow Daoist has this qualification. I think Brother Han should be well aware of my identity.” The monk said.
”If that girl outside isn’t lying, fellow Daoist should be the person in charge of the Helian Merchant Alliance in the Blood Heaven Continent, and his status should be similar to that of fellow Daoist Ming Zun.” Han Li said indifferently.
”I am indeed of such status. But how much do you know about our Helian Merchant Alliance?” The monk asked a rhetorical question.
”I really don’t know too much, I only know that your alliance is extremely powerful, and is one of the few super forces capable of spanning three continents.” Han Li returned after frowning a bit.
”This alliance is actually a relatively loose organization, and aside from having a branch alliance on each of the three continents so as to facilitate the exchange of resources and information, there are generally no mandatory rules or obligations. Generally come across disputes, but also by the alliance of all the Mahayana composition of the Council of Elders, to jointly ruled. I was elected by all the elders in the Blood Heaven to temporarily take charge of the affairs of this continent. If any Mahayana friends are willing to join this alliance, they will generally serve as guest elders, and will not affect their daily cultivation and their status in their own race, but also enjoy a lot of unexpected conveniences. The only obligation is probably to come to the aid of this alliance in times of crisis.” The monk said unhurriedly.
”What does Fellow Daoist mean by these words?” Han Li stared at the monk and asked indifferently.
”I would like to formally invite fellow Daoist to join this merchant alliance, and I wonder if fellow Daoist Han is interested.” The monk said with a hint of a smile for the first time.
”Just now, some tests and inviting me here was just for this matter?” Han Li’s expression was unusually calm.
”Of course not, it’s just that if you can become a member of this alliance, the things I’m going to talk about with you later on can be even less of a concern.” The monk frankly replied back.
”Although I do have some interest in the Helian Merchant Alliance, right now I still want to listen to the proper matters from the mouth of fellow Daoist before deciding on anything else.” Han Li said without moving.
”Good, since fellow Daoist is so insistent, Mister Bi naturally won’t force himself. I wonder how much you know about the Underworld Netherworld?” After nodding his head, the monk asked suddenly.
”Underworld? Although I’ve heard people talk about it from time to time, it seems like I’ve never heard of anyone actually seeing it. As for the existence of the Underworld, it should be more of a rumored thing, whether it really exists or not is something that cannot be known at all. At the very least, it is impossible for me to be certain. What, is the matter that you, Fellow Daoist, want to talk about related to these two?” Han Li was a bit surprised.
”Of course it is related. Roughly a hundred years ago, while exploring a certain spatial gap on the Blood Heaven Continent, this Sub Alliance inadvertently discovered the entrance to a Newborn Small World.”
”A newborn small world! This is true.” Han Li rose in shock.
”Of course it’s as true as it gets. However, although it is said to be a newborn small world, it should have existed for many years, only that no higher beings have been born inside, and it has never been discovered by the outside world. The small world isn’t too big, but it’s rich in all kinds of resources. However, just as this Sub Alliance was ecstatic and ready to invest a large amount of manpower and resources to develop it with all its might, it was discovered by another interface that also discovered its existence and similarly invaded it.” The monk paused as he said this, a trace of reminiscence flashing through his gaze.
”Other interface, could it be ……,” Han Li pondered up.
”Not bad, as soon as Fang fought this newly appeared enemy, the people of this alliance were startled. They are surprisingly all of those ghost-like existences that you, Dao Friend, watched earlier. Among them, there are strong and weak ones, the weak ones are unbearable, but they are similar to those around the Qi Refining Stage in this realm. But the strong, but enough and our spirit world today Mahayana existence comparable. That Yellow Spring Yin Qi was collected after I fought with the strongest of the other side. The eight ghosts are also extracted from the breath of these ghosts before they are manifested.
Of course, they can only resemble each other, and their strength is not comparable to that of a real Ghost King. The real Yellow Springs Ghost King is a horrible existence alongside us. According to these ghosts claimed that the interface they came from is called ‘Underworld’, and the forces they belong to are the ten kings of the netherworld. Our merchant alliance and these ghosts fought a few battles for this realm, and the results were indistinguishable, and both lost a large amount of manpower. In order to avoid losing both sides, so in the end, our alliance and these ghosts still made an oath, decided to use the battle of the strong to ultimately decide to occupy the amount of resources in this realm. The reason I came to see you is to ask you, Daoist Han, to participate in one of the battles as one of the representatives of this alliance. Of course, if Brother Han can join our alliance by the way, it would naturally be a much more honorable thing to do. Regardless of whether we win or lose this battle, as long as you, Fellow Daoist, put up a fight, we in this alliance will all be sure to thank you heavily.” After hesitating for a moment, the monk finally told everything.
”I see. I wonder if this ‘Underworld’ is the rumored one? What sort of existence are the so-called Ten Kings of the Underworld, and will they also participate in this Battle of the Strong.” Han Li had a few moments of emotion after hearing this.
”This Alliance has naturally done some investigation into this. Although there isn’t much evidence, I believe that this realm should not be the mysterious and true Underworld rumored to be, and should only be a certain Yellow Springs Ghost Kingdom-like interface suitable for the survival of powerful ghostly creatures. The so-called ten kings of the netherworld are only ten ghost kings who are one step more powerful than the average ghost king. Otherwise, even though this alliance is not small, it is absolutely impossible to really fight against each other for such a long time. As for this battle of powerhouses, it’s more than likely that one of the Ten Kings of the Netherworld will participate.” The monk thought for a moment before returning.
”It’s a pity that it’s not the real Underworld. I thought I could finally explore the true secrets of reincarnation.” Han Li stroked his chin and had a few moments of regret as his gaze flickered.
”It’s not the true Underworld though. The divine abilities these ghosts cultivate are however indeed very different from our gong methods, vaguely containing a very different Dao of Laws than ordinary beings. If you, Fellow Daoist, were to fight them for a moment or two, by chance, you might actually be able to realize some of the mysteries of the Way of Reincarnation.” The monk laughed.
Han Li listened, but remained silent.
Only after a long time did he raise his head again and ask carefully:
”When is the date of the appointment fight between your alliance and these ghostly creatures, where is it, and how many matches are there? In addition to me, are there any other Daoists in your alliance who are prepared to participate in the battle?”
Upon seeing Han Li ask so carefully, the monk, instead of revealing an expression of dissatisfaction, was instead energized and busy replying:
”The time is three years from now, and the location is in that newly discovered small world. In this battle of the strongest, there will be a total of five matches. In addition to the old me, a daoist friend from the Thunder Continent Sub-Alliance and a guest elder from the Elder’s Council will also make an appearance. In addition, I’ve also invited the top-ranked powerhouse from the Blood Sky Continent, Blood Fury, so with the addition of Fellow Daoist, we’ll have exactly five participants. Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Han, this is a one-on-one competition, so even if you don’t beat your opponent, you won’t have to worry about your life. If you can really win, in addition to the originally agreed upon reward, I can also make the decision to allow you to enter our alliance’s Heavenly Pavilion and choose a secret art from the Immortal Realm.”
”Immortal Realm Secret Art? I didn’t hear it wrong.” Han Li was somewhat stunned when he heard this.
”What the old immortal said is indeed an Immortal Realm secret art. In fact, the matter of our alliance harboring several Immortal Realm secret arts is not considered much of a secret even though not many people know about it. Because of the creation of our business alliance of the several predecessors, originally is the immortal world immortal in the spirit world left behind the real descendants, business alliance predecessor also originally is the immortal world in the spirit world set up an extremely secret monitoring organization, just use of the people are immortal direct descendants. So know a few of the immortal world of art, is also a normal thing. But the later is the great change of heaven and earth, all walks of life and the immortal world completely lost contact, these seniors have no choice but to absorb some of the other mighty people into the organization, and after so many years of development, which has formed the current business alliance. So this alliance as not many across the three continents of the super power, in addition to the surface of some of the transactions outside, secretly also do their best to maintain the stability of this world, to exclude some foreign forces on the interference of this world. Like the last borer mother thing, this alliance also sent a number of Mahayana friends into the demon world, just a pity that they have not yet come to play a role, was the mother of insects trapped in the beginning of the devil’s land in the ban, but also thanks to the friend of the road and others to help, in order to be able to get out of it again. So to put it mildly, Fellow Daoist Han still has some favors for quite a few of the elders of this alliance.” The monk smiled and explained.
When Han Li heard these words, his gaze flickered and he once again revealed a thoughtful expression.
