Chapter 4176

Seeing Lin Ming's reaction like this.

The middle-aged man was not surprised.

After all, for anyone, being imprisoned in this Nether Cave and enduring ten thousand years of torture.

Would be an unimaginable thing.

To not go insane already counts as having a resilient Dao heart.

Hearing that there is a chance to escape, how could he not be excited?

"Among those candidates, is there a woman named Qin Hongzhuang?"

Lin Ming's voice carried a kind of rawness and hoarseness.

As if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Why do you ask this? Is this a question you should be concerned about right now?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Then, a trace of an inexplicable look appeared in his eyes as he said.

"Although I know you have been imprisoned in this Nether Cave for ten thousand years, lonely and cold."

"But you shouldn't be the type to be troubled by worldly desires."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words.

Lin Ming lowered his head slightly.

The middle-aged man continued: "I have not heard of the person you mentioned."

"The important thing is, do you accept this mission or not?"

"I accept..."

"Of course I accept..."

Lin Ming's hoarse voice seemed to carry a grit-toothed determination.

Only then did the middle-aged man nod in satisfaction.

"Not bad, at least you are not as stubborn as before."

"It seems this ten thousand years of imprisonment has indeed tempered your character."

"Don't blame the Nine Nether Divine Palace for its harsh punishment; the mistake you committed was not small."

"The reason we are showing you leniency is because of your extraordinary talent."

"The Divine Palace is unwilling to stifle such a good seedling like you."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out that pitch-black ancient seal again.

The ancient seal flickered, and runes surged.

The rune chains that had been imprisoning Lin Ming's body suddenly unraveled.

"Alright, take some time to adjust your breathing, then head to the Nine Heavens Heavenly River."

"I will arrange everything else for you."

"Although this Nether Cave is a place of punishment, it is also a place of tempering."

"The benefits for you are not small either."

"I hope you can appreciate the painstaking efforts of the Divine Palace."

After saying this, the middle-aged man turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

After he left.

Lin Ming, who had regained his freedom, slumped on the ground, his messy hair covering his face.

"Heh... hehe..."

At first, a very soft laughter came from his mouth.

Then, the laughter gradually grew louder.

In the end, Lin Ming looked up and laughed wildly.

The violent Nether aura on his body spread out, shaking the heavens and the earth.

That aura was chilling, pouring out in all directions like a tidal wave.

Yet, as Lin Ming laughed, he began to cry.

If the middle-aged man from before were here and saw Lin Ming crying.

He would definitely be dumbfounded and unable to believe his own eyes.

Because once, Lin Ming was the sharpest blade of the Nine Nether Divine Palace, heartless and cold as frost.

Let alone crying.

It was rare to even see him have any emotional fluctuations.

But now.

Lin Ming was crying, venting his emotions.

After a bout of emotional venting.

Lin Ming took a deep breath and temporarily calmed his mind.

In his very special eyes, which seemed to circulate the two energies of life and death, yin and yang.

There were flashes of trance, confusion, and other emotions.

He raised his scarred arms, feeling the pain that had become almost numb.

A hoarse voice murmured.

"So, this is not a dream; this is real."

"I... transmigrated?"

Once these words were spoken, his identity was revealed!

This Lin Ming was not that Lin Ming.

He was unexpectedly a transmigrator from the same batch as Ye Yu and Qin Qiong!

"Heh... to think I would encounter such a thing..."

Lin Ming still seemed unable to believe it, his expression carrying a sense of trance.

That time, the elites of their batch from the highest academy of Xuanji Star went to explore an ancient ruin.

He was also one of them.

At first, the excavation of the ruins was normal.

Later, however, many strange things happened.

And as for what happened after that, he couldn't remember clearly.

He only knew that when he regained consciousness.

He was already in this space, having become a prisoner.

And many extremely unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.

Vast starry sky, Heavenly Court, Nine Nether Divine Palace, Candidate God-Child, Lin Ming...

This person named Lin Ming looked exactly like him.

But the world he was in was a world of difference from the Xuanji Star where Lin Ming himself was.

Although Xuanji Star also had ancient martial arts, cultivation techniques, and the like.

And there were strong individuals who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, capable of traveling through the air and destroying stars with a single hand.

But compared to the martial power of the vast starry sky, it was a world of difference.

In this world, a single demonic beast could swallow a star field, and a single strong individual could destroy the heavens and the earth.

Even he himself was an extremely powerful and monstrous peerless figure.

Originally, if it were truly such a transmigration, that would have been fine.

At least he transmigrated into someone awesome.

But...

When Lin Ming's consciousness awakened, he had already been imprisoned in this Nether Cave, enduring endless torture.

And it wasn't for a day or two, a year or two.

But for nearly ten thousand years!

You have to know, Lin Ming was just a young man from Xuanji Star.

Although he could be considered a rare martial arts genius.

But this kind of torture of being imprisoned for ten thousand years was simply an endless nightmare!

Even the strong individuals of the vast starry sky would find it hard to endure.

Let alone a transmigrator like him.

Lin Ming's mind almost collapsed under this kind of torture.

However, every time he was about to collapse.

In his mind, a woman in a red dress, stunningly beautiful, would appear.

Qin Hongzhuang!

"Ye Yu, Qin Qiong, they actually transmigrated to this world too."

"That means Hongzhuang definitely didn't die either and also came to this world..."

Lin Ming muttered to himself.

His previous identity on Xuanji Star was also not ordinary.

He was the eldest son of a top martial arts family, possessing top-tier ancient martial arts talent.

And Qin Hongzhuang was also the apple of the eye of a top-tier clan.

And the two families were family friends.

To some extent, the two could be considered childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were young.

For this top-tier beauty who stunned Xuanji Star.

Lin Ming had been moved since he was young.

And Qin Hongzhuang was also very socially adept, maintaining an aloof attitude toward him.

And after growing up, Qin Hongzhuang became even more stunning.

Countless men fell at her feet.

However, at the same time, rumors of her having a bad reputation also spread.

From that time on, Qin Hongzhuang was cast in the role of a "bad woman."

But only Lin Ming, who had known her since childhood, knew.

How conservative a woman Qin Hongzhuang actually was.

Although she appeared to have relationships with many men.

It was more of a mindset of playing with toys, keeping them in the palm of her hand.

Enjoying the feeling of being pursued by everyone.

Those men didn't even have the qualifications to truly get close to Qin Hongzhuang.

Lin Ming asked himself, only he was Qin Hongzhuang's best choice.

Because the two had known each other since childhood.

And the two families behind them were also family friends.

Their status and standing were also a match, which could be called a match made in heaven.

At that time, many people thought that Qin Hongzhuang would eventually be with Lin Ming.

Even Lin Ming himself thought so.

But who would have expected.

Later, a man attracted Qin Hongzhuang's attention.

"Ye Yu..."

Lin Ming's voice was extremely low.
