I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1380 - 722: Ninth Hall Destroyed! (Part 2)

Chapter 1380: Chapter 722: Ninth Hall Destroyed! (Part 2)

The Judge lowered his head and said, "Especially recently, we haven’t managed to take down the rebel Ghost Kings and their rebel armies within the Ninth Hall... the rest have not come to aid us, perhaps they too wish for these rebels to carve up the Ninth Hall."

If the Ninth Hall is divided, no new King Yama could emerge.

However, the power of King Yama is dispersed among the various Ghost Kings.

In the future, the other high-ranking officials of the Netherworld, such as the Four Great Ghost Emperors, the other Nine Great Yama Kings, and even the Commanders of the Shadow Soldiers... would face little resistance in carving up the power of the Ninth Hall.

A King Yama is impregnable.

But if the power of King Yama is divided into ten parts, making ten Yin Generals... it becomes easy to defeat them one by one and be devoured.

"What a calculation."

The Ninth Hall King Yama sneered coldly and said, "Are they truly not afraid that I will disclose all the current intelligence of the Netherworld?"

The Judge was silent for a moment and said, "I’m afraid they believe that the Human Clan Saint Master is not here to subdue you, nor just to chat idly with you..."

The Ninth Hall King Yama’s pupils constricted, and he said, "He is here to kill me? Impossible, if that were the case, the power of the Human Clan Saint Master would weigh even more heavily, surpassing even the Central Ghost Emperor, which would be of no benefit to them..."

"Of course, there is no benefit!"

Outside the Ninth Hall, powerful figures gradually emerged one after another.

"How audacious!"

Prince Jiu unleashed his divine body a thousand feet high, looking down as he shouted, "Since I have not personally come forth to eradicate you rebels, you should have remained hidden, yet you dare invade my grand hall?"

"Prince, since we dared to come, we are naturally prepared!"

The leading Ghost King pressed his hand down, revealing the mark of a crescent moon.

"The Central Ghost Emperor’s Moonlight Divine Artifact?"

Prince Jiu’s pupils shrank.

Another Ghost King brought out the Divine Artifact of the Third Hall Yama.

These Ghost Kings, one by one, all had means bestowed by various other high-ranking Netherworld officials.

"I see..."

Prince Jiu laughed heartily and said, "From the very beginning, when they let me attack South Mountain Sacred Land, they planned to carve up the Ninth Hall!"

As his voice fell, he said coldly, "Even if I fall today, you may not survive either!"

"Then it depends on the Prince’s skills!"

The Ghost King carrying the Central Ghost Emperor’s Divine Artifact was the first to strike.

"Even if you seize my power, in the future you will inevitably suffer being devoured by those behind the scenes!"

Prince Jiu blocked the Moonlight Divine Artifact and said in a deep voice.

"We have all become Ghost Gods, for thousands of years, without power, we cannot advance further."

Another Ghost King attacked and said, "First take this step, then you have the qualification to gamble for the future! If you don’t even have this step, and are exterminated by Prince Jiu this time, then any future outcome is mere empty talk!"

——

The Ten Hall Yama were supposed to gather in one place.

This was where they secretly communicated, isolated from the Five Ghost Emperors.

But today, only nine Yama Kings gathered here.

"Old Nine is done for," the First Yama said softly.

"His elite Yin soldiers are all lost, his foundational territory battered and scarred," said the Third Yama.

"Faced with the combined forces of various Ghost Kings, with the various Ghost Emperors and the Divine Artifacts granted by us..." the Tenth Hall Yama said, "he is bound to fall."

"The Southern Ghost Emperor has been devoured by the Human Clan Saint Master. Old Nine is done this time as well; our Netherworld’s order, unchanged for thousands of years, is in turmoil consecutively in such a short time."

The Fifth Hall Yama sighed and said, "Who knows when it will be our turn?"

"Anyhow, Old Nine has grown so weak; if we don’t resolve him, he’ll become nourishment for the Human Clan Saint Master in the future."

The Sixth Hall Yama said, "Rather than that, it’s better to scatter Old Nine’s power; we can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and increase our own power."

The Fifth Hall Yama said softly, "I just fear that the Human Clan Saint Master will, with his own power, gather the power of the Ninth Hall."

"Once the power is dispersed, trying to gather it again won’t be easy."

The First Yama said, "These Ghost Kings aren’t mere ornaments just allowing the Saint Master to come and claim them."

——

As Lin Yan traveled through the scope of the Ninth Hall’s power, he noticed the anomaly.

At this moment, it was dusk in the mortal world.

And Lin Yan, traversing here in the identity of Ghost Emperor.

He detected the anomaly of this realm.

By nightfall, when the Yin Yang Two Realms intersected.

Lin Yan returned to the mortal world once again and found himself in the Ice City.

This Ice City was not destroyed under the calamity back then.

Simply because the Tai Sui Divine Body within Ice City had already been taken over by the Human Clan.

Master Han Zheng’s main family, the same Han Liuzhen who Lin Yan once slashed!

At the brink of losing control, this person took his own life, hiding his Primordial Spirit within an Old God’s Magical Object, and later was placed into the Tai Sui Divine Body by Lin Yan.

Moreover, Lin Yan absorbed him into his body, refining him once with the "Netherworld" water from his Inner Realm Divine Domain.

Although the Netherworld Water in the Inner Realm Divine Domain was only a mana transformation, it still had partial effects.

"Greetings, Saint Master!"

The Tai Sui flesh wriggled, and a figure emerged on the ground, bowing deeply.

"..."

Lin Yan glanced over, showing a complex expression.

The Little White Ape poked its head out from his palm, muttering, "This guy is indeed a talent."

It was just because Han Liuzhen at this moment manifested a figure with the Tai Sui flesh which was identical to his youthful self.

More importantly, the "Han Liuzhen" before him wore a cloak that left his chest and belly exposed.

On his chest and belly, there was a knife scar.

This was a scar once left by Lin Yan.

Shi Wen once mentioned in private that Han Liuzhen took pride in that knife wound after his middle age.

Unexpectedly, even though the flesh had perished, the figure created by the Tai Sui flesh deliberately included a scar.

"The grace of rebirth from the Saint Master, Han deeply remembers it in heart."

Han Liuzhen knelt with both knees on the ground, bowed his head in respect, and declared loudly, "The Saint Master is like a second parent to me. If only the Saint Master doesn’t mind, I wish to be adopted as a godson!"

"Dream on!"

The Little White Ape shouted, "Saved you once, and now you want to be a godson? The Saint Master is the Master of All Generations, revered by all under the heavens, and you’re not even human now, seeking what fame?"

"Saint Ape Brother!"

Han Liuzhen’s eyes lit up, bowing again, "Long time no see, brother..."

"Who’s your brother?"

The Little White Ape spat, "Enough nonsense, what’s going on around here? That Ninth Hall King Yama’s Qi Mechanism seems extremely weak..."

"I know this!"

Han Liuzhen quickly replied, "The other day, our human heroic spirits occupied various Small Hells under the Ninth Hall, erected the Saint Master’s Divine Statue, and seized Prince Jiu’s authority! Later, rebellions erupted among the ghost kings in various regions, and the Ninth Hall’s shadow soldiers were insufficient to suppress them, causing chaos to escalate..."

He looked up and said, "Last night, the leaders of the rebellion suddenly attacked the Ninth Hall, using various Old God’s Magical Objects to disintegrate Prince Jiu’s divine body and divide his authority."

"Did the Ninth Hall King Yama fall?"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, murmuring, "So the authority scattered among the rebellion leaders?"

The reason he came here was indeed to directly annihilate the Ninth Hall King Yama, seize authority, and perfect the Netherworld Internal View.

The reason he specifically chose the Ninth Hall, aside from Prince Jiu’s weak foundation, was because Shangguan Xuanniao and Shi Wen and others from the human heroic spirits had been laid to rest here.

To buy Lin Yan time to devour the Southern Ghost Emperor... led by Shangguan Xuanniao, the human heroic spirits caused a great commotion, not only luring the Ninth Hall King Yama over but also gathering the Netherworld’s top authorities here.

Otherwise, Lin Yan wouldn’t have had the opportunity to devour the Southern Ghost Emperor.

"Speaking of this..."

Han Liuzhen hesitated, "On the night you devoured the Southern Ghost Emperor, a strange scene occurred in the Ninth Hall."

"What was strange?"

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed, asking in a deep voice.

"At that time, the Black Armored Divine General manifested the appearance of the Saint Master, attracting the Netherworld’s top authorities,"

Han Liuzhen explained, "Then the Netherworld’s top authorities immediately headed towards the Southern Holy Land, abandoning the Black Armored Divine General... The Ninth Hall King Yama intended to strike hard, but suddenly waves rolled in!"

He paused and continued, "Yellow waves surged from the ground, rushing everywhere, overwhelming everything in their path! Even the Ninth Hall King Yama avoided them in fear..."

Hearing this, Lin Yan’s eyes brightened slightly.

He had long known that in years past, Shangguan Xuanniao and Wang He from the God of War Emperor Clan served the Ancient God of Yellow Springs.

He initially thought Shangguan Xuanniao and others perished entirely on that night.

Now it seems there might be another opportunity.

He took a deep breath, asked, "Did you note the source and final flow direction of the Yellow Springs surge?"

Upon hearing this, Han Liuzhen quickly nodded, "Noted, it’s all noted..."
