"Brother Nether Earth, given our tens of thousands of years of friendship, logically speaking, we should help with this favor." The Heavenly Fiend Ghost King stroked his chin and smiled faintly.

"However, the three of us also have quite a few things to be busy with on a daily basis."

"Going to help you seek revenge this time will take time and energy, and there might even be some danger."

"But Brother Nether Earth is a person who cares about prestige and face. You absolutely wouldn’t let us work for nothing, right?"

Seeing this, the Thunder Ghost King and Bright Candle Ghost King also instantly revealed meaningful, greedy expressions on their faces.

The Nether Earth Ghost King couldn’t help but sneer coldly in his heart, he knew these people were the type who wouldn’t get up early without a profit.

Without giving them some visible and tangible benefits, it was absolutely impossible to make them exert themselves for nothing.

"Rest assured, you three. This old man naturally will not let you work for nothing." The Nether Earth Ghost King smiled mysteriously.

"As long as you help me eliminate that Alex this time, I will share this with you."

Saying this, he unhurriedly raised his hand, and a profound purple orb of light drifted out from his palm.

Seeing this orb of light, the three Great Ghost Kings instantly revealed looks of shock.

"Nether Earth Soul Chase?!"

The Heavenly Fiend Ghost King said in horror. "Brother Nether Earth, are you seriously investing your life’s savings?"

Ever since the Nether Earth Ghost King had researched the Nether Earth Soul Chase, the three of them had always treated it as a supreme treasure and desired it incomparably.

After all, this divine ability was no ordinary ghost art, but rather a peerless secret technique that could overturn the order of the world and make one the dominator of all living beings.

In order to obtain this cultivation method, over the years, the other three Great Ghost Kings had used every extreme means possible.

Offering various resources in exchange, yet the Nether Earth Ghost King wouldn’t even spare a glance. Pleading with all sorts of sweet words, even honoring him like their own biological father, yet the Nether Earth Ghost King turned a deaf ear.

Even the Thunder Ghost King and Bright Candle Ghost King, in a moment of anxiety, tried to infiltrate the North High Peak to steal the secret manual.

After being discovered, the Nether Earth Ghost King nearly fell out with them directly and crippled them.

So many years had passed, the technique had already been maturely researched, and the plan could be implemented immediately.

Originally, the three of them had already despaired and given up.

They didn’t expect that today, in order to hunt down a human, the Nether Earth Ghost King was actually willing to share this ghost art with them.

To obtain this divine ability, let alone hunting down a human Saint Lord, even if it meant risking a fatal disaster to assassinate a Saint in the Immortal Realm, they would dare to give it a try.

"Good, Brother Nether Earth, rest assured!" The Heavenly Fiend Ghost King patted his chest.

"I will definitely help with this favor! I will go back right now to prepare the materials and set up the Heavenly Fiend God-Imprisoning Formation!"

The Bright Candle Ghost King also immediately stated her position.

"My Heavenly Candle Dragon-Sealing Seal has long been fully charged. Just waiting for a single command from you, Old Man Nether Earth, I can cripple that Alex’s spiritual treasures at any time!"

The Thunder Ghost King cracked his knuckles and grinned.

"Hehe, isn’t it just a mere Hale family? Daring to cause trouble for Big Brother Nether Earth. Rest assured, your brother here can kill his way to the Hale family at any time and slaughter half their people!"

"Good!" The Nether Earth Ghost King narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly.

"You three, be ready to take action at any time. Wait until my injuries heal and I recover a little bit of vitality, then we will immediately strike and finish off that Alex!"

...

Late at night, the Hale family Holy Land.

Adrian returned and headed straight for the dungeon, arriving at a secret cell hidden within a concealed compartment.

This cell was the Hale family’s interrogation room, specifically used to interrogate and process prisoners whose identities were secret and unsuitable to be leaked.

For example, some elders who had lived off the family while secretly helping outsiders, or some high-ranking member captured alive from another family.

The cell was completely empty. There was only a chair forged from steel placed right in the dead center.

Adrian walked up to that chair and opened the Rakshasa Demon Umbrella. Knox was instantly spat out from inside, landing exactly on the chair.

"Ugh, where am I..." Having been trapped in the dark all this time, Knox finally saw the light again and instantly gulped mouthfuls of air desperately.

However, before he could react, chains and shackles seething with black mist surfaced on the iron chair.

They directly shackled his hands and feet securely, tying his entire body up with iron chains, leaving him completely unable to move an inch.

"This, what is this?!" Knox instantly revealed a look of panic.

"Who are you? Where is this?"

"Brat, do not be noisy." Adrian said faintly.

"I am the Second Elder of the Hale family, Adrian. Here is the most secret cell in our Hale family Holy Land. The Saint Lord specifically instructed me to protect your safety to the maximum extent, which is why this cell was specially prepared for your exclusive use."

Knox’s brain went blank for a moment. he instantly widened his eyes, his face turning ashen.

Previously, Alex had said that before his utilization value was exhausted, not only would he not kill him, but he would also protect him.

At that time, Knox was still rejoicing in his heart that he could at least safely enjoy himself for a period of time.

As a result, who would have thought that the protection Alex spoke of actually meant this?!
