Chapter 246: Casually Suppressed, Heading to Hell

On the other side...

Although Lin Lei and the magical beast Beibei were stronger than ordinary Level 9 experts, after the six Special Envoys of the Inquisition joined forces to activate the White Hexagram Array, they were directly trapped inside.

Even with their utmost efforts to break out, they were far from a match for those six Special Envoys.

The six Special Envoys were seen with one above, one below, and the other four scattered in all four directions.

White light flowed over their bodies, quickly forming a sealed eight-sided cube that completely surrounded Lin Lei and the magical beast Beibei.

You must know that even if a group of experts cultivates the same Battle Qi simultaneously, each person's Battle Qi will still have obvious differences.

To completely fuse their Battle Qi together to greatly increase their power, as these six Special Envoys are doing now, is almost an impossible feat.

But now, these six Special Envoys have relied on the Light Church's combined attack secret technique to achieve this.

And at this moment...

Whoosh!

A slender treasure sword appeared in the hand of each of the six Special Envoys, and they quickly rushed at Lin Lei and the magical beast Beibei from all directions.

Lin Lei and the magical beast Beibei had nowhere to hide; they intended to fight desperately to kill one Special Envoy and break the formation, but they simply could not do it.

"Lin Lei!"

Delin Kewote, hiding inside the Panlong Ring, quickly spoke: "These people's strength is already extremely close to that of a Domain expert; you must be very careful!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a short moment, Lin Lei had already exchanged hundreds of blows with the six Special Envoys.

Both sides attacked each other crazily without counting the cost, paying no attention to their own defenses.

At this time, the black scales on Lin Lei's body had shattered for the most part; wounds covered his entire body, and blood constantly seeped out.

As for those six Special Envoys, because they had fused their power together, their defense had become incredibly astonishing; even with Lin Lei's strength, it was difficult to injure any one of them.

"Their defense..."

At this moment, Lin Lei was undoubtedly feeling quite desperate.

After these people's Light Battle Qi fused together, even one-on-one they were slightly stronger than him, let alone the six of them joining forces now.

Just after the six Special Envoys launched another combined attack, Lin Lei completely fell into a desperate situation.

And just at this time, Delin Kewote, who had been hiding inside the Panlong Ring, stepped out.

Previously, when Lin Lei encountered the Light Church Pope, he had not chosen to intervene because even if he exerted all his strength, he could not be a match for that Light Church Pope.

But now, although the strength of these six Special Envoys was very powerful, if he spared no cost, he could still resolve the situation against them.

Although this would cause his soul to scatter, having stayed inside the Panlong Ring for over five thousand years, after meeting Lin Lei, he had long regarded Lin Lei as his own closest kin.

Moreover, watching Lin Lei grow up little by little under his guidance, he felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Lin Lei, from now on you must rely on yourself."

Delin Kewote smiled and glanced at Lin Lei, then prepared to completely burn his spiritual power to help Lin Lei resolve this crisis.

But just at this moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

Under this terrifying pressure, the six Special Envoys, who had originally been radiating powerful auras, were instantly completely suppressed and prostrated on the ground; even the Light Battle Qi they had released instantly dissipated.

"What is happening?"

"What exactly has occurred?"

At this moment, the hearts of the six Special Envoys were filled with sheer terror; this suppressing force was truly too terrifying, so terrifying that they could not even generate any thought of resistance.

In fact, under this terrifying suppressing force, even if they wanted to resist, they were powerless to do so.

You must know that even if the Light Church Pope 'Haitings' personally intervened, although he could easily kill the six of them, he still could not suppress them to this extent merely through pressure.

Furthermore, they had not even seen the terrifying expert who was releasing the pressure yet; the gap between them was truly too great.

On the other side, Lin Lei, Beibei, and even Delin Kewote were not subjected to any suppression.

Seeing the six Special Envoys all prostrate on the ground, although Lin Lei still did not know what had happened, he quickly looked at Delin Kewote beside him with worry: "Grandpa Delin, you..."

"Rest assured, Lin Lei, I am fine!"

Delin Kewote naturally would not continue burning his spiritual power at this moment, but his heart was also extremely shocked: "A Super Expert, this is absolutely a Super Expert!"

"Lin Lei, it seems a mysterious Super Expert is helping you; otherwise, only these people from the Light Church would not be suppressed..."

"Super Expert?" Lin Lei could not help but be slightly stunned.

Facing this sudden change, he himself was also very confused, because in his impression, he should not know any Super Experts, let alone a terrifying existence capable of completely suppressing six Special Envoys without even appearing.

"Could it be Mr. Xise, the 'King of Slaughter'?" Lin Lei could not help but think silently in his heart.

However, back then, Xise, who had a favor to ask of him, was not even willing to help him fight against Clyde, finally only giving him a prescription for a special poison; let alone helping him deal with the Light Church's Special Envoys.

And just at this moment...

Whoosh!

Two figures suddenly flew over from the distant sky.

Leading them was a majestic man clad in dark golden armor; when Lin Lei looked at him, he felt like an ant facing a giant dragon.

And behind this majestic man was another figure Lin Lei knew very well, namely his sworn brother, Ye Lu.

"Big Brother Ye Lu?"

At this moment, Lin Lei was completely stunned: "How is this possible?"

That Ye Lu would come to help him was not strange to Lin Lei at all, but he did not understand where Ye Lu had invited such a terrifying expert from.

You must know that even the president of the Dawson Merchant Guild, Monroe Dawson, was merely a Level 9 Warrior, whose strength was even inferior to his, let alone suppressing the six Special Envoys before him who were stronger than him.

On the other side, after Ye Lu saw Lin Lei covered in blood, he quickly rushed to Lin Lei's side and then asked with extreme concern: "Third Brother, are you alright?"

"Big Brother Ye Lu!"

Lin Lei quickly dispelled his Dragon Transformation state, then asked with great confusion: "What exactly is going on?"

【Pang Bo: Is this Lin Lei? He doesn't look very powerful, yet I never expected him to achieve such high accomplishments in the future!】

【Ye Chen: The Chaos Controller is probably far stronger than even the Sword God!】

【Xiao Yan: Now the Group Leader will make up for Lin Lei's regret!】

On the other side...

"I will explain this to you later!"

Ye Lu quickly looked at Lu Qingshan respectfully, then said to Lin Lei: "Third Brother, this is the Group Leader. He came specifically to save you!"

"The Group Leader?"

After hearing Ye Lu's introduction, Lin Lei was quite puzzled in his heart, but he quickly thanked him respectfully: "Thank you, Group Leader, for saving my life!"

"Lin Lei!"

Lu Qingshan smiled as he looked at Lin Lei, then said with a laugh: "Actually, with the soul of this Saint Domain Archmage by your side, even if I did not act, he would be able to help you escape smoothly!"

Lu Qingshan still had a good impression of Lin Lei.

For one, Lin Lei's own character was very good; he risked going to the Plane Battlefield to revive his brother, and even gave up the opportunity to obtain a Supreme Divine Artifact to revive Delin Kewote;

For another, Lin Lei's future achievements would be very high.

Although Lu Qingshan was not yet sure what level of power a Chaos Controller corresponded to in the Starry Sky World, he figured it would not be too weak.

Plus, with the issue of different time flows in various worlds, perhaps in a while Lin Lei's strength would surpass his, and at that time, he might even be able to help him.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly asked with a smile: "By the way, what do you plan to do with these people from the Holy Light Church?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the several Special Inquisitors not far away, who had been completely suppressed by him and were utterly unable to resist, felt completely desperate in their hearts.

They never expected Lin Lei to know such a terrifying powerful person, and now, their lives and deaths were entirely at the whim of this terrifying powerhouse.

"Group Leader!"

Before Lin Lei could speak, Ye Lu on the side quickly said: "If possible, it would be better to kill them all!"

"Very well!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then his formless and weightless divine power activated slightly, and the six Special Inquisitors of the Holy Light Church instantly lost all signs of life.

【Pang Bo: Watching the Group Leader act is so boring!】

【Xiao Yan: Yes, the Group Leader's strength has grown again! This is a complete one-sided crushing, just like how I deal with those ordinary people now!】

On the other side, after Lu Qingshan easily killed those six Special Inquisitors, the Dawson Merchant Group, hearing the commotion, quickly rushed over.

Seeing this, Ye Lu also quickly stepped forward to explain.

Although he did not reveal the information about the Chat Group, he did tell his father, Monroe Dawson, about what had just happened.

Although Monroe Dawson's strength was not particularly high, as the head of the Dawson Merchant Group, his knowledge was very extensive.

Upon hearing that Lu Qingshan had silently killed six Level Nine Special Inquisitors of the Holy Light Church, he understood in his heart that Lu Qingshan's strength was absolutely not merely Saint Domain level; perhaps he was a true deity.

Although he did not know how Ye Lu had met such a powerful person, he quickly invited Lu Qingshan back to the mansion for a banquet, and Lu Qingshan naturally accepted with pleasure.

"Lin Lei!" At the banquet, Lu Qingshan actively approached Lin Lei.

"Group Leader!" Lin Lei bowed slightly in greeting.

Although he was unclear about Lu Qingshan's identity, he was very grateful to Lu Qingshan for saving him and Delin Kewote.

Lu Qingshan had a smile on his face: "I came to find you this time because I hope you can do me a favor!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lin Lei quickly said: "If the Group Leader needs any help, I will definitely do my utmost; I just do not know where I might be able to help the Group Leader?"

"It is like this, Lin Lei. Your stone carvings are very unique, and your skill is also very superb; I like them very much!"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "So I would like to ask you to carve a set of stone statues based on myself; I wonder if that is possible?"

"A set of stone statues based on you, Group Leader?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lin Lei could not help but be slightly stunned.

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

Actually, for Lu Qingshan, if he wanted stone statues, he could definitely find countless carving masters in the Starry Sky World, and there were certainly many whose skills surpassed Lin Lei's level;

but for Lu Qingshan, a stone statue carved personally by a future Chaos Controller still held great commemorative significance.

"No problem!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's affirmative answer, Lin Lei quickly nodded and said: "However, a set of stone statues requires a very long carving time; it is very difficult to complete in a short period!"

"I understand!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then said with a laugh: "I have a few things to do next; after I finish dealing with them, I will come back to get the stone statues from you!"

"My Lord Group Leader!"

Lin Lei quickly said: "I should be leaving here soon; I wonder where I should go to meet you then?"

"It does not matter!"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "You can go anywhere; as long as you are on the Lilac Continent, I will be able to find you!"

Hearing this, Lin Lei could not help but be slightly startled in his heart.

To be able to find him as long as he was on the Lilac Continent; even a true deity might not be able to do such a thing!

Thus, after the banquet, everyone was naturally delighted, and Lu Qingshan was arranged into a luxurious room.

Moments later, Lu Qingshan stayed alone in the room and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I have crossed worlds for such a long time, yet Chaos has not acted; it seems I do not need to worry!" Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart.

Although he did not know if it was due to the Chat Group or if Chaos had discovered him but chose not to act, Lu Qingshan himself had no intention of investigating, nor did he want to make any abnormal moves (such as shouting Chaos's name within the Panlong World).

After all, his current strength was far too lacking compared to a Chaos Controller; even if Chaos had no hostility, merely appearing before him would bring immense pressure.

And now was just right!

Since Chaos had not appeared, he could calmly finish what he wanted to do, and then leave the Panlong World.

Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Ye Lu, Lu Qingshan left alone very quickly.

As for Ye Lu's request for him to help Lin Lei seek revenge against the Guangming Jiaoting, he refused.

First, the future Guangming Jiaoting would be an excellent whetstone for Lin Lei; he did not wish to interfere with Lin Lei's upcoming growth by intervening himself.

Second, although eradicating the Guangming Jiaoting of the Yu Lan Continent would be easy for him, it might draw the attention of the Lord of Light's primary deity and disrupt his own plans.

For this reason, Lu Qingshan directly refused Ye Lu.

Of course, this matter was Ye Lu's own initiative; Lin Lei himself was completely unaware of it.

After parting ways with Ye Lu and his group, Lu Qingshan did not remain on the Yu Lan Continent but headed straight for the northernmost end of the North Sea—the North Pole Ice Plain—where the portal to other planes lay.

The guardian of this portal was the Yu Lan Continent's Warden, a Mid-tier God named Huo Dan.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear, his aura undetectable, Huo Dan was slightly startled, for this meant Lu Qingshan was an Upper-tier God.

Yet such a powerful being had appeared on the Yu Lan Continent, and this Warden had failed to detect him.

Still, many deities had appeared on the Yu Lan Continent before; after his surprise, Huo Dan assumed Lu Qingshan was some deity who had secluded himself for an extended period.

Although warriors from the Four Supreme Planes or the Seven Divine Planes must pay a great price to reach a Material Plane, travel from a Material Plane to a Supreme or Divine Plane requires no cost whatsoever.

Thus, upon learning Lu Qingshan wished to travel to one of the Four Supreme Planes—Hell—Huo Dan quickly activated the portal, and Lu Qingshan stepped into it and vanished.

……

One of the Four Supreme Planes: Hell!

A sickle-shaped purple cold moon hung in the night sky, its hazy violet, eerie light blanketing the endless continent below.

Boom—!

Waves of dark seawater relentlessly crashed against a cliff towering over ten thousand meters high, yet no matter how fiercely the sea from the Star Mist Ocean struck, the cliff stood unmoved, unchanged for eons.

This cliff rose straight up and down, as if cleaved by a blade, its surface smooth as a mirror, earning it the name "Mirror Moon Cliff" among countless strong ones of Hell.

At the very peak of Mirror Moon Cliff stood an ancient castle built entirely of purple ore, within which faint, strange lights flickered intermittently.

The ground at the castle's center was paved with earth-yellow rock, appearing extremely ancient, and upon it stood two side-by-side colossal magical arrays.

Beside these colossal magical arrays, two burly men guarded the area.

Both wore purple martial attire beneath long purple robes edged in gold, each bearing a unique purple mark on their foreheads.

Hum! Hum!

On one of the colossal传送阵, hazy light flared, and a succession of figures with varied appearances appeared one after another.

Among them were humans and beasts, some Saint Domains, others gods, yet all gazed around in confusion upon arrival.

"Hey!"

One of the purple-robed men quickly shouted: "All of you, stand over there and keep quiet!"

A Saint Domain warrior moved a fraction too slowly and was immediately kicked flying by the purple-robed man.

The Saint Domain warrior seemed ready to resist, but the purple-robed man sneered: "Only a Saint Domain and you're already rushing to Hell to die? Kid, if you don't learn patience, you won't last a single day."

"Hahaha!"

The other purple-robed man laughed just as loudly: "These poor little fools come here knowing nothing! Better they learn the rules now—otherwise, when they truly enter Hell, they'll die even faster!"

And just then…

The colossal magical array suddenly emitted hazy light, and a figure clad in purple armor appeared at its center—it was Lu Qingshan, having arrived via portal from the Yu Lan Continent.

"Another one's come."

"Upper-tier God!"

Many of the nearby purple-robed men turned to look.

After all, Upper-tier Gods rarely appeared on this portal; it was exceedingly rare for a god to remain in a Material Plane and cultivate to the Upper-tier realm.

When an Upper-tier God did appear, they were likely transported from another higher plane.

"This is Mirror Moon Cliff?"

Lu Qingshan glanced around and spoke up.

Upon hearing "Mirror Moon Cliff," the surrounding purple warriors immediately deduced the man had arrived via portal from another higher plane.

Lu Qingshan casually glanced around, then rose into the air and departed Mirror Moon Cliff alone.
