Chapter 2249: Old and Crafty

"Your blade intent is stronger than your master's sword intent!"

Li Xianying praised.

"You little brat, your luck is really good; as soon as you arrived, you gained the favor of a powerful warrior's battle weapon!"

Zhao Hu also sighed.

Ye Liuyun, although he had gained benefits, was not overly delighted.

Faced with the expanse of coffins before him, he really couldn't feel happy.

"Just get used to it!"

Zhao Hu patted his shoulder and continued forward with Ye Liuyun.

As they were about to leave the area, Ye Liuyun's Sealing Demon Tablet suddenly shot out from his Sea of Consciousness, flew to a relatively new coffin, and pressed down on it.

Such disrespect toward the fallen warriors undoubtedly startled Li Xianying and Ye Liuyun, among others.

Li Xianying looked at Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun hurriedly explained: "It wasn't me who sent it."

"It just wouldn't obey commands!"

Ye Liuyun then discovered that the name on the coffin was actually the Nine Nether Earth Demon.

"Is there no end to this?"

"Even after I'm dead, you won't let me rest in peace?"

At that moment, a roar came from inside the coffin, startling everyone and making them tense up immediately.

The Yin Soul of the Nine Nether Earth Demon inside the coffin also leapt out and looked at Ye Liuyun.

"It's you again?"

"How did you get here so quickly?"

The Nine Nether Earth Demon clearly didn't expect Ye Liuyun to arrive at the Alien Battlefield so quickly.

But he immediately sensed the aura of the Underworld's Lord on Ye Liuyun.

"Lord of the Underworld?"

He also found it somewhat unbelievable.

His Yin Soul had been hiding inside this coffin, barely maintaining its cohesion, waiting for the chance to go to the Underworld; he never expected that the one who would come would be Ye Liuyun.

Upon seeing him, Ye Liuyun was also somewhat surprised.

"No wonder I haven't seen you in the Divine Realm; it turns out you died in battle here!"

He actually didn't hold a grudge against the Nine Nether Earth Demon.

If it weren't for the Nine Nether Earth Demon's Mourning Bell and the first half of the Nine Nether Prelude, he might have died long ago.

Even the Sealing Demon Tablet used to suppress the Nine Nether Earth Demon had helped Ye Liuyun quite a bit.

Speaking of which, he should also thank the Nine Nether Earth Demon.

So, in response to the Nine Nether Earth Demon's question, he also nodded.

"Can you let me go to the Underworld?"

The Nine Nether Earth Demon asked Ye Liuyun doubtfully again.

"Yes."

"But it will take some effort!"

Ye Liuyun said.

Then he asked the Nine Nether Earth Demon: "How did you die here?"

"Of course I was killed by the Foreign Tribe! Otherwise, how would I have been buried here?"

The Nine Nether Earth Demon said offhandedly.

Then he pointed at the Sealing Demon Tablet and said: "First, take this thing away; seeing it makes me nauseous!"

Ye Liuyun also recalled how cunning the Nine Nether Earth Demon had been before; he had tricked him quite a bit.

Now the Sealing Demon Tablet suddenly pressing down on him again indicates that there must be something worth suppressing.

If it were merely a Yin Soul, the Sealing Demon Tablet couldn't absorb it.

"What's inside the coffin?"

Ye Liuyun asked tentatively.

"Of course it's my physical body!"

The Nine Nether Earth Demon said naturally.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, then suddenly launched a curse attack.

A clump of golden light burst forth violently from within him.

"What are you doing?"

The Nine Nether Earth Demon exclaimed in shock.

This Buddha Light Power is exactly the greatest counter to his current Yin Soul.

"Since you won't tell the truth, I'll have to perform a salvation rite on you!"

Ye Liuyun laughed and said: "You can transform Buddha-Demon Power, can't you?"

"Why don't you transform this Buddha Light Power into Demon Qi?"

"You..." The Nine Nether Earth Demon was speechless, still thinking Ye Liuyun held a grudge from before.

"Those past events are long gone; you shouldn't be so petty, right?"

"Back then I didn't kill you, and I gave you the Mourning Bell and the cultivation method; otherwise you wouldn't have become the Lord of the Underworld, would you?"

The Nine Nether Earth Demon began explaining to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun wasn't swayed by his words, nor did he withdraw the Buddha Light Power; he just said: "One thing is one thing! Earlier we had a fair trade."

Now you want to go to the Underworld and have me retrieve the Sealing Demon Tablet, yet you aren't telling the truth.

Then I can only transcend you first, and then go find the truth myself.

"Wait, wait, let's discuss this properly! Anyway I'm not your opponent; destroying my Yin Soul won't do you any good!"

First, withdraw the Buddha Light Power.

My Yin Soul can't endure this kind of torment.

Ask what you want, and I'll tell you!

The Nine Nether Demon, old and treacherous, saw Ye Liuyun unmoved and immediately became docile.

And Ye Liuyun was merely scaring him.

After all, those lying here are heroes fighting the Foreign Tribe, and just for that he cannot directly erase their Yin Souls.

Although he doesn't really believe the Nine Nether Demon could have such enlightenment to make such a great sacrifice for the Human Race.

But he still needs to investigate clearly first.

So Ye Liuyun immediately withdrew the Buddha Light Power and watched him continue his performance.

But just as Ye Liuyun withdrew the Buddha Light Power, the Nine Nether Demon played the second half of the Nine Nether Prelude, trying to control Ye Liuyun through it.

Originally he only taught Ye Liuyun the first half of the Nine Nether Prelude, keeping a move for himself.

He thought that besides him, no one else could know the second half of the Prelude.

However, Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that you didn't have the second half of the Nine Nether Prelude?"

"If you keep acting like this, don't blame me when I truly annihilate you!"

"Ah?

You've also learned the second half?

Where did you learn it from?"

When the Nine Nether Demon saw Ye Liuyun unaffected, it immediately realized that Ye Liuyun must have also mastered this second half, and dared not attack Ye Liuyun again.

Ye Liuyun ignored the Nine Nether Demon's question and simply asked, "I'll ask you again: what's inside the coffin?"

"It's really just my Physical Body!"

The Nine Nether Demon said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun wouldn't believe what that guy said.

He scanned with his Golden Pupil.

These coffins can block Divine Sense detection, and only the Golden Pupil can see through.

But he also saw that inside was indeed the Nine Nether Demon's Physical Body.

However, this Physical Body was preserved too perfectly— not only intact but spotless.

He tried to see into the Nine Nether Demon's body to examine the cause of death, but found the Demon Qi inside was so dense that it blocked his Golden Pupil's sight.

"There must be a ghost inside!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, "The Nine Nether Demon must have something hidden inside, otherwise the Sealing Demon Tablet would never act against him again."

And judging by the current state of the Sealing Demon Tablet, it still trembles slightly, clearly struggling with something.

Li Xianying and Zhao Hu, though unaware of their previous disputes, heard their conversation and actions, and silently sent a Transmission Voice to warn Ye Liuyun.

"This guy obviously isn't telling the truth! What is your Sealing Demon Tablet contending with!"

Li Xianying reminded Ye Liuyun.

"This guy is a slick one; I even suspect he was killed by the Foreign Tribe!"

Zhao Hu's speculation was even bolder.

Ye Liuyun also pretended not to notice any issue and said to the Nine Nether Demon, "Since there's no problem, I'll find a way to send you to the Underworld, lest your Yin Soul dissipates!"
