I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1362 - 713: The Whereabouts of the Saint Master!

Chapter 1362: Chapter 713: The Whereabouts of the Saint Master!

Within the Netherworld, inside the Ninth Hall’s domain.

The high-ranking officials of the Netherworld had dispatched their armies close to the Ninth Hall, but due to the contracts signed previously, they dared not step even a foot inside.

Now, only the Yin Soldiers belonging to the Ninth Hall can resolve the chaos within it.

However, last night, hundreds of thousands of Yin Soldiers under the Ninth Hall, along with troops from other factions, were all buried in the South Mountain Sacred Land.

The few remaining elite forces were personally led away by Prince Jiu to attack the South Mountain Sacred Land.

Within the Ninth Hall, the only forces remaining were barely enough to maintain this piece of the Netherworld.

Yet, among the forces barely maintaining the Netherworld, there were mixed in a group of former Human Clan powerhouses. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Smoke and fire arise everywhere, war is raging on all sides.

The Yin Soldiers led by Shangguan Xuanniao, using the tactics of the Black Armor Army, broke through three cities in succession.

The Yin Soldiers led by Shi Wen, though unable to attack outwardly, held tightly this Small Hell, erected a statue of the Saint Master, and stripped the Ninth Hall King Yama of his authority.

Similar incidents are occurring one after another within the Ninth Hall’s regional influence, with war flames flying around.

Those Human Clan warriors who gave their all for their race while alive, after death, in the Netherworld, stirred up storms, alleviating the racial crisis in the Mortal World.

Moreover, they incited all kinds of Yin Soldiers to raise flags in rebellion.

Prince Jiu only felt his power slipping away continuously.

If it continued like this, he would not even be able to hold onto his throne.

That is why he even abandoned the hundreds of thousands of elite forces directly under the Ninth Hall, leading only a hundred or so high-ranking Ghost Gods, rushing to his own lair.

"How could this happen?"

Prince Jiu was shocked in his heart, muttering to himself, "Last night the Southern Emperor sealed off this South Mountain Sacred Land, could it be that the Human Race Saint Master was not inside at all?"

He did not believe that the Human Race Saint Master truly had the capability to silently break the original seal of a Ghost Emperor.

Even if the Human Clan gathered the strength of the masses, they could break through the Southern Ghost Emperor’s seal, but it would definitely not be without a sound or trace.

But at this very moment, his foundational land was indeed being weakened in authority.

If the Saint Master had not acted, how could his authority have been taken?

——

Boom!

Shangguan Xuanniao slashed down with a knife, annihilating a Ghost God.

He looked behind him and said, "The time is almost up, in principle, Prince Jiu should be returning."

After pausing for a moment, Shangguan Xuanniao took out a Commander’s Seal and said, "By the order of the Saint Master, summon all the Human Clan within the Ninth Hall area..."

The people gathered now naturally were not the living.

They were the Human Clan after death.

They had already become Yin Spirit Ghosts, members of the Netherworld.

But due to their persistent faith from when they were alive, they remained deceased members of the Human Clan.

Today, they will challenge and shake the throne of an ancient Yama who has existed for countless years!

——

Within the Central Hall of the Netherworld.

The high-ranking officials of the Netherworld, except for the Ninth Hall King Yama and the Southern Ghost Emperor, were all present here, looking grave.

"The Qi Mechanism of the Human Race Saint Master is within the Ninth Hall’s range."

"It seems that the Southern Emperor’s source-exhausting seal last night was still a step too late, he had already escaped."

"We have a contract forbidding us from stepping onto Prince Jiu’s territory, and now we can only watch the Human Race Saint Master rampage within?"

"It’s not necessarily the Human Race Saint Master." The Central Ghost Emperor contemplated and said, "The one who could possess the Qi Mechanism of the Human Race Saint Master...is not limited to the Saint Master himself."

"What do you mean?" the Tenth Hall Yama pondered aloud: "Could this be a ploy to disrupt the Ninth Hall, forcing us to withdraw our army from the South Mountain Sacred Land?"

"But last night’s battle, if not for the Southern Emperor’s exhaustive sealing of his origin, the Human Clan would have already won decisively." The Northern Ghost Emperor said, "The Human Clan couldn’t have foreseen this step..."

"We also did not expect the Southern Emperor to expend his origin." The Eastern Ghost Emperor said, "The Human Clan couldn’t have predicted this in advance, let alone laid down the methods belonging to the Human Race Saint Master within the Ninth Hall..."

"Perhaps it’s just that over the years, the deceased of the Human Clan have returned to the Netherworld, stealthily occupying positions within the Netherworld Army." The First Hall Yama mused.

"Makes sense." The Western Ghost Emperor said slowly, "But if the Human Race Saint Master...is really hiding inside?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the field grew silent.

The Western Ghost Emperor had previously had his own foundation attacked by the Human Race Saint Master, and although his authority had not been taken, he still shivered at the memory to this day.

"If indeed the Saint Master is in there and knows we dare not step into Prince Jiu’s domain, thus acting recklessly..."

The Western Ghost Emperor paused, then said, "Then in the future, the Netherworld should have a ’Yama’ who is alive!"

The Netherworld is the place of the deceased, the end of Reincarnation across the Ten Thousand Realms, the domain of Yin Souls and ghosts.

An alive being becoming a Yama of the Netherworld is simply unprecedented!

"I propose surrounding the Ninth Hall." The Northern Ghost Emperor said heavily.

"Too rash." The Central Ghost Emperor slightly shook his head and said, "This Emperor is more inclined to believe that this is a ploy of the Human Clan, and maybe this Saint Master...is still in the South Mountain Sacred Land."

"But with the Southern Emperor sealing it, he wouldn’t escape in the short term."

The First Hall Yama mused, "Our contract stipulated that during Prince Jiu’s attack on the South Mountain Sacred Land, we could not invade his territory...but now that Prince Jiu has departed from the South Mountain Sacred Land, returning to his territory to quell the rebellion, the contract is no longer effective."

After saying this, he continued, "If the Human Race Saint Master is there, after Prince Jiu returns to his domain, missing most of his authority, he likely won’t be able to withstand him! If we surround him, the Human Race Saint Master will definitely die."

"What if he’s not?" asked a Commander of the Shadow Soldiers grimly.

"Then it proves that his true body is indeed in the South Mountain Sacred Land." The First Hall Yama said, "In that case, there’s no need for probing; we can exert everything from the Netherworld to crush the Human Clan in the mortal world..."
