Chapter 332: Binding Spirit, Old Yue in the Depths of the Netherworld, Hunter King Assassin, You've Got a Big Problem【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 2)
"Soul, return!" Li Che commanded.
His deep voice echoed like an ancient elder's chant during a sacred ritual, opening the gates of death and allowing the departed soul to break free from the chains of the underworld, returning once more.
The sound of clanking chains filled the air, as if someone were shackled and walking step by step from the depths of darkness. Above Ink City, a massive black hole appeared, seemingly ready to devour all light and heat.
No ray of light could penetrate the darkness, as it was all consumed and erased. Even Li Che, the spirit-binder, couldn't help but focus his gaze on the black vortex.
Within the vortex, countless fine threads, almost alive, descended and intertwined, forming a web. It was like knitting a sweater or following a predetermined pattern, shaping a figure.
In an instant, Yue Huanglong's plump and amiable form materialized. The ink-like substance coalesced into a terrifying presence, unleashing a storm of energy that shook the entire city.
Li Che's eyes narrowed, noticing something unusual. Yue Huanglong's hands and legs were bound by thick, pitch-black chains, restricting his movements. Li Che frowned, puzzled by the appearance of these chains.
He had never encountered such a phenomenon during previous spirit-bindings. Could it be because Yue Huanglong had reached the Fourth Opening Saint Warrior realm, becoming a powerful deity on the verge of spiritual transformation?
Li Che sensed that Yue Huanglong's cultivation was still at the Absolute Apex, not having reached the level of a top-tier Absolute Apex by burning his fat to forcefully open the Heavenly Gate and receive the infusion of Heavenly Nature. However, this outcome was within Li Che's expectations.
Yue Huanglong floated in the air, drifting for an unknown duration before slowly opening his eyes. Even his amiable face now wore an expression of bewilderment and disbelief.
"He who understands the times is a true hero," Yue Huanglong said with a smile. "Old Yue pays his respects to the lord!"
He accepted his fate with remarkable composure. If he had the spirit to resist, he could have chosen to die standing. But Yue Huanglong was just an old fox without any backbone. He only wanted to live, and as a bound spirit, he could continue to do so, albeit in a different form. What did it matter if he had to submit to Li Che's every command? As a court official, he would have to submit to the Dajing Emperor anyway.
Submission was submission; it made no difference to whom. By submitting to Li Che, he could live; otherwise, he would experience true death.
Yue Huanglong, a cunning old fox, chose the right path. Seeing his willingness to submit without resistance, Li Che's eyes flashed with a peculiar light, and his mood improved.
This spared Li Che from the idea of using Yue Huanglong as food for other bound spirits. After all, Yue Huanglong was a Fourth Opening Saint Warrior, and using him as food for bound spirits would be a waste.
Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, and the other bound spirits had just consumed spirits to break through, and it would be impossible for them to reach the Fourth Opening Saint Warrior realm by consuming another Fourth Opening Saint Warrior's spirit in such a short time.
"Old Yue, well done," Li Che praised.
Yue Huanglong's face immediately lit up with a broad smile, "To be able to join the King of Hell's command, it is old Yue's honor..."
As an experienced official, Yue Huanglong's words were naturally very pleasing.
Yue Huanglong raised his hand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The sound of rapid spinning filled the air.
Then, the Five Deity Spirit Hammer, a treasure of the Five Elders, suddenly shot out and was grasped in his fist.
Yue Huanglong greedily took a deep breath.
"Your Highness, the feeling of being alive is truly wonderful."
Li Che's gaze fell on the black chains emanating a thick black aura.
His mind stirred slightly, and he raised his five fingers, clenching them tightly.
The two chains suddenly shattered with a crackling sound under the impact of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit power on Li Che's body.
Yue Huanglong's face twitched slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness..."
Li Che nodded slightly.
However, his heart couldn't help but sink...
These chains...
Seemed to be the same as the ones placed on Yue Huanglong earlier!
The moment Yue Huanglong died, after his soul dissipated into the unknown, he was immediately shackled.
Or perhaps, very few Martial Masters and Divine Transcenders from other realms had the qualification to be shackled.
Yue Huanglong was a Fourth Opening Saint Warrior expert...
So, after his death, it seemed that he was shackled in the depths of the netherworld as a restriction?
Who was it that shackled Yue Huanglong...
Who could it be?!
"Do you know who put these shackles on you...?"
Li Che asked with a focused gaze.
Yue Huanglong kept shaking his head, "After my death, when my soul dissipated, my consciousness faded, and I lost control..."
"In the depths of the netherworld, it's like entering the deepest part of the underworld..."
"It's like there's a huge blood-colored city gate..."
"A mysterious existence in the city gate put the shackles on me."
Yue Huanglong tried hard to recall, and his mind flashed with extremely blurry scenes, as if hidden deep in his memory.
Upon hearing this, Li Che's body trembled slightly!
A blood-colored city gate in the depths of the netherworld?!
Could it be...
That this world... also has a real Hell City Fengdu?!
Li Che's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
The real Hell City Fengdu?!
The real... Fengdu?!
The ruins of the dead.
It's not impossible...
Li Che's heart kept trembling, after all, even the Wrathful Lotus Prince, the Heavenly Monkey King, and the Manifestation of the Mystic Way, the Three-Eyed True Monarch, could appear..."
Then why can't Hell Fengdu appear?
Li Che suddenly felt his breathing quicken, and his mind was filled with intertwining currents.
For some unknown reason, his body tensed up.
Li Che didn't know if his binding of spirits... from the blood-colored city gate in the depths of the netherworld, taking away the souls of the dead, would attract the attention of powerful beings.
The blood-colored city gate in the depths of the netherworld...
The real Hell City Fengdu?!
Does it really exist?
Just as Li Che was holding Yue Huanglong's Heavenly River Jade, carefully rubbing it...
Li Che suddenly snapped back to his senses.
In his pupils, a crisscrossed glow appeared!
Revealing a look of furious anger.
"How dare you—!!!"
Li Che raised his five fingers, tearing open the Heavenly River space.
He covered his face with a mask adorned with black and white, dotted with countless stars.
His fingers moved again, and he grabbed a Constellation Killer Mask, throwing it to Yue Huanglong.
Yue Huanglong's original Constellation Killer Mask lay quietly in the Heavenly River Jade, but with the jade in Li Che's hand, Yue Huanglong didn't dare to speak.
Li Che seemed to understand and directly took it out for him.
"Put it on."
With the King of Hell's mask on, Li Che's entire being became profound and terrifying.
The next moment, he clenched his fist!
In the palm of his hand, a white chess piece appeared, faintly visible!
...
Whoosh, whoosh—
The waters of the Grand Canal seemed to quiet down at this moment.
Zhao Fangzhou's hair stood on end, and his entire body trembled as he clutched the treasure saber, not daring to retreat a step, while behind him, the Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship swayed in the waves.
He stared intently at the figure on the boat wearing the Hunter King Killer Mask!
This mask was too distinctive.
The Hunter King Killer of Hunter Temple...
After all, their sect master, Lu Tai Bai, also had one!
Lu Tai Bai's identity as the Hunter King Killer was not exactly a secret; every elder in their sect had seen it and knew about it.
Even some of these elders themselves held positions in Hunter Temple.
The world seemed to quiet down for a moment.
Zhao Fangzhou let out a long whistle, and the mighty force in his body exploded, revealing countless blood vessels.
However, the next moment...
It was like a drop of water falling into an extremely quiet water jar.
A 'ding dong' sound echoed, and ripples spread in circles.
Zhao Fangzhou clutched the treasure saber, struggling to lift it, only to find that at his side, a figure appeared—the Hunter King Killer of Hunter Temple.
He appeared from the boat, as if teleporting.
The emerald bamboo flute gently pressed down on Zhao Fangzhou's saber, which he was about to raise...
Zhao Fangzhou's pupils constricted, his muscles trembling, and he exerted the power of a Sea of Vital Energy Saint to the extreme.
However, he couldn't budge the bamboo flute on his saber even a bit.
The gap...
Was too great! This Hunter King Killer of Hunter Temple was undoubtedly a Fourth Opening Saint Warrior expert!
"That's enough, I'm just here to take someone away, not to kill."
"With Lu Tai Bai absent, the netherworld power protecting the little girl is also in action... This is the best opportunity. I don't want to kill, just to take someone away."
"Don't push me."
Beneath the Hunter King's mask, the figure smiled faintly and spoke softly.
Then, the bamboo flute he held down on Zhao Fang Zhou began to shake violently, gently tapping downwards.
Zhao Fang Zhou felt an irresistible surge of terrifying power erupt...
Boom—!!!
The entire person was forcefully submerged into the bottom of the Grand Canal by the terrifying force.
Layer upon layer of white waves exploded, creating ripples in the riverbed before finally crashing into the bottom.
Above the river's surface, amidst the swirling mist...
Only a constantly expanding vortex remained.
Zhao Fang Zhou had already been knocked down to the riverbed.
Without Zhao Fang Zhou's obstruction, the Hunter King Assassin's clothes fluttered in the wind as he strode across the river's surface.
With each step, ripples formed on the river's surface.
After just three steps, the ripples grew smaller and smaller.
And after those three steps...
On the Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.
This Hunter King Assassin had already appeared on the ship, his hands clasped behind his back, holding a jade flute like a spear, standing tall on the pillar at the ship's bow.
Beneath the mask, his eyes shone with a mysterious light.
The Hunter King Assassin took out the bamboo flute, placed it against the mask's mouth, and began to play softly. The flute's melody spread out, creating invisible ripples that seemed to surge towards the entire Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship.
As he played, he leaped onto the deck, resembling a sea monster playing the flute.
He slowly made his way towards the ship's cabin.
He walked through one deck after another.
All the children, crew members, and guards who heard the flute's melody...
Their bodies went limp, collapsing to the ground, fast asleep.
They couldn't resist the sound of the flute.
When the Hunter King Assassin reached the sixth deck, many gifted children who had gathered here, originally intending to watch Zhao Fang Zhou wield his sword and split the waves, were all staring with wide eyes.
"Danger!"
Jin Taisui instantly reacted, breaking into a cold sweat upon seeing the Hunter King Assassin.
He took a step forward, blocking Xi Xi's path.
The Hunter King Assassin looked at Xi Xi and Jin Taisui curiously.
"Huh? You two little ones... are actually fine?"
"You withstood my flute's melody?"
The Hunter King Assassin spoke softly.
Then, noticing the gradually appearing patterns on Jin Taisui's body, he smiled, "So you're a cultivator from Wu Shen Mountain..."
"It seems that you're the young shaman from Wu Shen Mountain who became a slave. There's a Great Shaman's divine imprint in your soul, so it's normal that you can withstand my flute's melody..."
"And you, little girl, must be Li Nuoxi?"
The Hunter King Assassin's gaze fell upon Xi Xi, and beneath the mask, his eyes shone faintly.
"Come, be a good girl and follow Uncle."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Don't you dare underestimate me..."
Hong Shi Fo helplessly carried the chessboard on his back, blocking Xi Xi's path.
"Hong Shi Fo..."
"You're indeed remarkable, but you've only just entered the Great God Realm... You can't stop me."
"While Lu Tai Bai and Wei Yuan are fighting, Yue Huanglong has also taken action... Being targeted by the Netherworld... This is the perfect opportunity I've been waiting for."
Hong Shi Fo smiled.
"So... you don't consider me a worthy opponent?"
"But can't I just delay you?"
"Your goal... is to take Xi Xi away?!"
"A Hunter King Assassin personally dealing with a six-year-old girl is indeed a matter worthy of ridicule."
"I'm curious... who sent you here?"
"This kind of mission should be a designated task."
"Your concealment skills are exceptional, allowing you to accurately locate the moment when the Grand Master of Tai Bai Sect left to confront the evil person from the Corpse God Sect..."
"Moreover, you've barely leaked any aura, most likely using a teleportation technique..."
"Let me calculate..."
"The one who sent you must be from the Divine Capital, right?"
"Which noble from the Divine Capital?"
"Is it the Su family's noble concubine? Or the Pacifier of Turmoil? Or the National Teacher?"
Hong Shi Fo narrowed his eyes, carrying the chessboard on his back. As his fingers formed a seal, a terrifying divine embryo slowly emerged behind him.
"There's no need to calculate. Even if you figure it out, what can you do?"
"You can't stop me."
The Hunter King Assassin spoke calmly, not wanting to be held back by Hong Shi Fo.
He had to act quickly; otherwise, when Lu Tai Bai returned, he would likely have to leave empty-handed.
"Unless you're prepared to die, but would you really sacrifice yourself for these children?" The Hunter King Assassin said indifferently.
"As for who sent me... don't ask."
Suddenly, Hong Shi Fo looked up, his face filled with a cunning "hehe" laugh.
"Now I don't need this old man to stop you."
"Do you know you've gotten yourself into big trouble?"
Huh?!
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes, and in her hand, a pink organ with six cannon barrels appeared, aimed at the Hunter King Assassin.
Behind Xi Xi, space seemed to distort violently, like a twisting wave.
Two terrifying auras instantly erupted from the two figures that appeared out of thin air.
One figure was fat and round, wearing a familiar Constellation Killer Mask...
His eyes were filled with mockery.
The other was a mysterious, tall figure wearing a black and white starry mask.
Behind Xi Xi, they turned and stood, slowly turning their heads...
