After Favorability Is Maxed

293 The Majesty of the Netherworld

Although the Elders of Bi Luo Mansion had arrived, they did not go to the Wuyin Cliff directly out of fear of the demonic sect. Instead, they chose a nearby small sect that was secretly affiliated with Bi Luo Mansion as their stronghold.

It was mainly because the sudden appearance of the Netherworld was a very unexpected and even unbelievable thing to the people of Bi Luo Mansion.

For someone who had always been known for being mysterious and unpredictable, it was extremely abnormal for someone like Netherworld, who had always been behind the scenes planning strategies, to appear at the front line of the operation site. Even the Elders began to be suspicious.

Especially this time, Netherworld’s messenger, Mei Sheng, did not appear.

The messenger was Su Lanfeng, who had been a spy in the demonic sect for many years. Although she was not completely unknown, she was indeed not qualified to be the messenger for these Elders.

It was as if a person had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and become the Mansion Master’s trusted aide. The Mansion Master had also suddenly changed her orders and summoned everyone to the Wuyin cliff. There was a suspicious aura everywhere.

However, Su Lanfeng did indeed have the Mansion Master’s token in his hands. Furthermore, after they had completed their search in the Nirvana Secret Realm and sorted out the information, they hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to place the Nether Lock outside the box that contained the information. This special mechanism could only be unlocked by cultivating Nether Qi. It had indeed been unlocked and it could not be faked.

Now that things had come to this, they did not suspect that someone had impersonated the Mansion Master. However, they were worried that something had gone wrong with the Mansion Master’s cultivation, which was why he needed the Phoenix blood and had made other unusual arrangements.

For example, it was originally just an ordinary cooperation with the Jade Mirage Sect – Yes, that’s right. Participating in the internal strife of the Jade Mirage Sect was a very ordinary thing to them because they had indeed done it many times in the past and had even become accustomed to it.

Because the light was too bright and dazzling, there was even more filth hidden in the shadows. Those who did not know would only know about the glorious deeds of the Jade Mirage Sect as the number one sect in the Central Plains. Those who knew could only keep it a secret because of the true noble and Righteous people in the Jade Mirage Sect.

However, the collaboration this time had suddenly turned into a betrayal. They were going to attack the Jade Mirage Sect.

The Elders of Bi Luo Mansion were shocked.

After all, the Central Plains was the territory of a Righteous sect. In the Far East Sea, the Bi Luo Mansion could do whatever it wanted, but here, it was the home ground of the Jade Mirage Sect. It would not be good if they were attacked by all the other sects.

Didn’t you see the tragic scene of the demonic sect fighting in the North Mansion?

These Elders trembled with fear as they tried to avoid meeting here, but they were forced out into the open by Liu Yuan’s order to kill those who disobeyed, so they had no choice but to come back and report.

At this moment, a group of people gathered in the small sect’s living room. They looked at each other. After exchanging greetings with the people they knew, there was only silence.

These Elders of Bi Luo Mansion all had the same gloomy and cold temperament, and each of them was wearing a different ghost mask, which was very in line with this ghostly sect. It made the room seem as if it had fallen into an endless hell, making people shiver with fear.

The atmosphere was finally broken when Netherworld entered the gate.

The person wearing the bronze mask was tall and her purple robe was wide and heavy. There were Brass Beast patterns on her shoulders and a pair of long boots. Her thick and curly red hair hung down. Behind the mask, a pair of green eyes flashed with a sharp light. She was a tall and imposing woman.

When she stepped into the room, it was as if a huge shadow was cast on their faces. The pressure of the Crossing Calamity stage was as terrifying as the opening of the Nine Nethers and the howling of thousands of ghosts and mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Netherworld looked around, and the Elders immediately felt a chill in their hearts. They stood up one after another and respectfully said, “Welcome, Mansion Master.”

As if she did not acknowledge the Elders, Netherworld slowly walked around the crowd and headed toward the reserved seat at the very top.

She walked very slowly, as if she was deliberately tormenting everyone. Her aura was so oppressive that people could not breathe. Those with slightly lower cultivation did not even last a few breaths before their knees went soft and they knelt on the ground.

The rest of the people were secretly shocked, but they did not dare to beg for mercy. They could only struggle to hold on, but they knew in their hearts that this was probably the punishment for their actions these days!

The Mansion Master was still that cruel and violent but powerful person. With this in mind, these people began to feel regret. This operation was probably a test for them by the Mansion Master. No wonder she promoted Su Lanfeng. The old had been replaced by the new. Was there going to be a big change of blood this time?

“Sit down, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Netherworld’s hoarse voice came and the terrifying aura immediately disappeared. The pressure on everyone’s body was lifted and they felt relieved. They looked at their colleagues who were kneeling beside them with a bitter smile. Only then did they see the two people standing behind the Mansion Master.

One of them was Su Lanfeng, who had just become a new Messenger. This mature beauty stood there gracefully and already had a calm aura.

There was also an unfamiliar man. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had an ordinary appearance, but he had a head of white hair. The cultivation aura that faintly seeped out of him was actually at the Soul Formation stage.

The only difference was that he was standing less than a foot away from the Mansion Master. Based on the Mansion Master’s personality, this distance was already extremely close.

This person… He was probably that suspicious ‘Guardian Zhu Ren’ who had suddenly appeared.

However, although a Soul Formation stage cultivator could be considered a master, in this room, it could only be considered below average. It was said that he provided the location of the Nirvana Secret Realm. Could this be his magic weapon?

Everyone had their own thoughts as they waited for Netherworld to speak.

However, other than Liu Yuan, only Netherworld herself knew that she was complaining about the hardness of the chair, which made her feel quite uncomfortable. It was already very difficult for her to walk over, but the chair was very hard!

Netherworld gritted her teeth and cursed the b*stard behind her.

The moment she lowered her pressure, these Elders would feel uncomfortable. Their Mansion Master snorted coldly and said, “I heard that you’re dissatisfied with my orders?!”

The Elders were shocked and shook their heads, “No.”

Netherworld slammed the table and said with a cold look, “Impudent! Did I allow you to speak?”

Bang! A crack appeared on the table, and the force of the shock made the first few people who spoke groan. They were probably injured internally.

At this moment, the room was suddenly silent.

Netherworld said coldly, “I don’t want to see you again… Trash! You are indeed a bunch of trash. I was wondering why you objected. It turns out that you are just cowards. Jade Mirage Sect is using Bi Luo Mansion as a knife, and you are really in a hurry to hand it over?”

“If Zhi Chunqiu fails, we will be the ones to blame for framing Ling Yu. These Righteous sects are in cahoots with each other. Do we have to stay in a corner of the Far East Sea forever?”

Her eyes swept across several Elders in the field with a fierce look. Suddenly, she reached out her hand and squeezed lightly. With a few muffled sounds, these people immediately fell to the ground, dead, and their masks fell to the ground. “Don’t think that I don’t know how many benefits you’ve received from Zhi Chunqiu. Do you really think that I want to cooperate with the Jade Mirage Sect? Idiots!”

Netherworld stood up and said sternly, “Listen up! This time, I’ll let the Jade Mirage Sect suffer the consequences of their own actions and collapse in internal strife. Now that the demonic sect is fighting with the major forces in the North Mansion, the Bi Luo Mansion will enter the Central Plains in one fell swoop. Starting from the Jade Mirage Sect, we’ll crush all the Righteous sects!”

All the Elders did not dare to disobey. They either broke out in cold sweats or were excited by her words. They said in unison, “Yes!”

After Netherworld distributed the tasks, the Elders and Su Lanfeng all left. As for the matter of protecting the sect, they did not even dare to mention it.

Only then did the Mansion Master soften and was caught by Liu Yuan. She lay in his arms as Liu Yuan played with the bell on her neck. He rubbed the two words ‘charmed slave’ and asked, “Why was the Mansion Master walking so slowly just now?”
