Myth Beyond Heaven

The group of people led by Si Junyi quickly arrived a hundred meters away from Yun Lintian. Xiao Shou and Hua Rong were among them.

"It's been a while." Xiao Shou said with a faint smile as soon as he landed on the ground.

Yun Lintian looked at him and said. "Are you the Southern Emperor?"

His question immediately startled the ghost kings behind Xiao Shou.

"I am." Xiao Shou admitted it directly.

The ghost kings were shocked upon hearing this. Especially Hua Rong and Shi Gou. They stared at Xiao Shou in disbelief.

"How did you guess it?" Xiao Shou asked curiously.

"I didn't see your name in the Book of the Dead." Yun Lintian replied honestly.

"I see." Xiao Shou nodded gently. He looked at the Yama King's attire on Yun Lintian and continued. "Congratulations on becoming the new Yama King."

Yun Lintian ignored him and turned to look at Si Junyi. Although he had never seen him before, it wasn't difficult to recognize him.

Before Yun Lintian could say anything, Si Junyi took the initiative to speak. "I have been paying attention to you for a long time. You are similar to him."

He turned to the Horse-Faced statue and said gently. "It's been a long time, Uncle Ma. Thank you for guarding the bridge all these years."

The Horse-Faced statue laughed. "Hehe. You haven't changed over the years."

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. The relationship between Si Junyi and the Horse Face seemed relatively good.

Si Junyi looked at Yun Lintian and said. "I have seen everything you did from the moment you arrived here. You are very kind... Don't you think it's cruel to lock everyone up further?"

Yun Lintian raised his brow. "It is incomparable to what you are going to do next."

Si Junyi shook his head and said. "Although you have inherited his power, you are too young to understand the truth."

"Do you know how cruel the Primordial War was?… My master was similar to you. He was very kind and had no intention of harming anyone, even though the enemy had already broken into his house."

"Because of his kindness, Fan Ren dared to frame him. He took advantage of my master to instigate the Primordial War. In order to protect me and millions of innocent souls here, my master didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself."

He took a deep look at Yun Lintian and asked. "Are you really going to watch them suffer further?"

At this moment, Sheng Qianyu flew over with a few people and landed on the ground.

She bowed to Si Junyi and said. "I have brought them here."

Yun Lintian's expression darkened when he saw the people behind Sheng Qianyu. They were Master Bai, Ouyang Feng, Su Lei, Xu Mei, and Zhao Ming.

Master Bai looked at Yun Lintian and smiled wryly. "I'm sorry, Yun Boy. I have overestimated myself."

Master Bai thought he had successfully escaped, but in fact, it was Si Junyi who had let him go from the beginning.

Su Lei, Xu Mei, and Zhao Ming looked at Yun Lintian with complex expressions. Although Yun Lintian's current appearance was different from the past, they could recognize him.

"I know that he is not ordinary." Su Lei muttered to himself.

"We're sorry for you." Xu Mei looked at Yun Lintian with guilt. She wasn't stupid for not knowing what was happening here. Clearly, Si Junyi wanted to use her and the others to threaten Yun Lintian.

Unfortunately, they were too weak to resist.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Feng looked at Yun Lintian curiously. He finally knew why Master Bai was confident back then. Yun Lintian was indeed extraordinary.

Yun Lintian's eyes turned cold as he looked at Si Junyi. "I didn't expect a dignified disciple of the God of Death to use such underhanded methods against a junior like me. Should I feel honored for it?"

"You have misunderstood me." Si Junyi smiled faintly. "I brought them here so you can safely take them away."

Yun Lintian frowned. "What do you mean?"

Si Junyi waved his hand, and Sheng Qianyu immediately retracted her power, returning freedom to Master Bai and the others.

"Go." Sheng Qianyu said coldly.

"Let's go." He waved his hand and brought everyone to Yun Lintian's side.

"I'll distract them. You must leave immediately." Master Bai sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian.

"It's useless." Yun Lintian responded calmly.

Master Bai opened his mouth, but no words came out in the end. He could only sigh helplessly.

"I want to negotiate with you." Si Junyi spoke. "As long as you do not unseal the Netherworld and allow it to reconnect to the outside world, I can assure you that no one will enter the Divine Realm."

Yun Lintian's mind spun rapidly. He wanted to take this chance to run away, but he knew it was extremely risky. Especially with Master Bai and the others by his side.

He finally understood why Si Junyi had brought Master Bai and the others here. Clearly, Si Junyi knew that he wouldn't leave them behind. Even if he didn't threaten him, it was not much different.

Yun Lintian was aware that he had already lost the first confrontation.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

Xu Mei hesitated briefly but decided to speak. "You don't have to worry about me."

"She is right." Su Lei echoed. "Ignore us and do whatever you need to do."

Yun Lintian looked at them with a smile. "It's fine, Sister Xu, Brother Su. Even without both of you, the situation would not be any different from this."

He turned to Si Junyi and said calmly. "Even if you don't enter the Divine Realm, the number of lives you could reap in the future would be astronomical. It would be no different from killing them with my own hands."

"I'm sorry. I cannot accept it."

As Yun Lintian's voice fell, the Book of the Dead, the Judge's Pen, and Meng Po's Bowl immediately appeared before him, unleashing their power.

Rumble!

The sky and the ground trembled violently as if the Netherworld were about to crumble.

At the corner of the Netherworld, the ground split apart, revealing a bottomless abyss filled with black flames. It was the eighteen hells!

Sheng Qianyu and the other ghost kings shivered involuntarily. They felt like a pair of invisible hands were wrapping around Xiao Shou sighed softly and closed his eyes when he saw this.

Meanwhile, Si Junyi wasn't surprised. He smiled and said. "I know you will choose this way."
