The command was to protect those around Song Huai as much as possible before his ascension to Zun Zhe Jing. However, Song Huai had little trust in the Second Hall. Ever since he entered the Underworld, assassination attempts had been relentless, and even the Ming Yin Prince could not discern who from the various halls was behind them.
Song Huai's identity was no longer a secret; with the Reincarnation Stone following him daily, it was clear that anyone attempting to take action against him would not be a small fry. The problem was that Song Huai was merely a fragment of a soul, and the Reincarnation Stone had regressed to a juvenile state. Currently, he was indeed in a rare moment of weakness, yet he remained carefree in the Underworld, almost as if he were fishing.
Within the Ten Halls of Yama, some could not contain their impatience and continuously sent people to probe, but the halls dared not act directly for fear of being ensnared themselves. After all, no one knew where the King of Hell's body was located. Naturally, Song Huai's strength could not be measured by ordinary standards, but advancing to Zun Zhe Jing with just a small piece of his soul would be exceedingly difficult.
All Ten Yama Kings were at the Zun Zhe Jing level. In the entire Heavenly Realm Underworld, aside from a few Imperial Realm beings, those at Zun Zhe Jing were among the elite. Since entering the Underworld, Song Huai's cultivation had soared; he even employed cunning tactics to eliminate the former Yin Xing of the Nine Halls Yama and took over the Ninth Hall, releasing Evil Spirits for his own use.
Even if it was just a small fragment of the King of Hell's soul, it was indeed formidable. However, ascending to Zun Zhe Jing was not something that could be done on a whim; after over thirty years of seclusion, there had finally been some fluctuations in power. If he failed in his advancement, his strength would surely suffer greatly. At that time, those hidden in the shadows would not miss this rare opportunity; if they could capture the fragment of his soul first, there were many techniques available to restrain the King of Hell.
Hei Shijiu wanted to engage in battle; at least he hoped to take these few individuals away for protection. Unfortunately, they seemed ungrateful for his efforts. The wheelchair-bound Xian Kong and that Little Loli were both from a strange dimension alongside Song Huai; they could be considered his right-hand companions, yet he found himself treated like a fool for his good intentions.
The frustration within Hei Shijiu grew increasingly unbearable. He had taken risks to come to the Ninth Hall, yet no one appreciated it! Ming Li surged like a tide; upon seeing this, the Reincarnation Stone clenched its tiny fists in frustration. Time was running out for an upgrade so that it could teach that Yun Zhi Yue a lesson—she had betrayed him and returned to the Heavenly Realm!
Ming Li's surge dissipated quickly; without a doubt, their advancement had failed. The Reincarnation Stone's face fell instantly—forget about teaching Yun Zhi Yue a lesson; even passing this trial seemed impossible now.
Hei Shijiu felt his hair stand on end as several gazes from Zun Zhe Jing landed on them. He felt as if he had died hundreds of times already—what were they going to do now? One-on-one, they had nothing to fear from Second Hall; what worried them was if more than one party aimed to eliminate the King of Hell. If they teamed up against them, Second Hall would surely be in grave danger!
Boom! A streak of light pierced through the Ninth Hall's barrier and landed directly above where Song Huai was in seclusion.
Hei Shijiu exclaimed in shock: "Nai He Bridge!"
A shadow flickered and vanished into the temple below.
A seven or eight-year-old child with a punk hairstyle jumped in place, his hair still perfectly styled as he clapped his hands and laughed: "That woman has a conscience after all, sending the soul back!"
Just as the Reincarnation Stone had said, the Zun Zhe Jing was fulfilled!
The gathering of Ming Li surged with countless times more intensity than before. Although it was being scattered by a powerful aura, determined to shatter the Ming Di Jin Kong, once the aura of the Zun Zhe Jing emerged, the terrifying gaze withdrew.
From the shadows, someone ordered: "Track down Meng Po's whereabouts and bring her back!"
A man dressed in an Azure Republic Long Robe stepped out of the Ninth Hall. His deep blue eyes were filled with longing and jealousy as he absorbed all of Shen Xingchuan's memories.
He lowered his gaze towards the Seven or Eight-Year-Old Reincarnation Stone and asked: "Where is Wujie?"
Before the Reincarnation Stone could respond, Hei Shijiu interjected in surprise: "Wujie is in the realm of Li Shang Di Jun."
Between Shang Zhong Tian and Xia Zhong Tian, when Li Shang Jun emerged, it was a space created by a single sword, not located in any layer of Thirty Heavens, yet stuck at its very center. Why do you ask about this?
Song Huai Gu replied without a hint of disturbance: "I'm looking for a wife."
