Chapter 622: Gathering of the Daolords (2)

Soon after devouring the procession of Yin spirits, she lowered her head softly and murmured like a madman, “Hungry… so hungry… so very hungry!!!” Saliva dribbled down the sides of her lips, while her sharp teeth peeked out from the gap in her lips. With her squinty eyes, she scanned the entire city avariciously, “Food… I want more food! Find me food! I’m hungry!!!”

And the corpse wasn’t the only one. In fact, every single Yin spirit across the entire city fell to their knees and lay prostrate on the ground in unconditional worship. They shuddered in fear, not daring to make the slightest peep of sound.

It was hell on earth.

Their eyes met.

No response.

“Su Daji, the lady who once used to be the irresistible beauty of her time, has actually turned into something like that… Don’t you think that Fate has a cruel sense of humour?” Qin Hui chuckled softly to himself.

“How… fragrant…”

Crackle!!!

The black infant slowly retracted back into Qin Hui's body, while the red lightning vanished without a trace. However, the aftermath of their quick altercation left hundreds of trenches tens of meters deep in the ground between where the two Prefect-class Yin spirits were. It was terrifying!

She stood right in the middle of rolling clouds of Yin energy, towering over the buildings of the city, almost as though she were a demon of the legends.

“How dare you!!” With a furious cry, the waters behind Su Daji suddenly rose up tens of meters high into the sky, and countless hands with exposed flesh emerged from beneath the surface of the waters, each of which was more than ten meters long. It was almost as though… the entire Pearl River was filled with ghastly hands like these!

She was reaching right across the Pearl River, across a vast expanse of over a thousand meters to give Qin Hui a good, tight slap across the cheeks! The river waters erupted like underwater explosives had just detonated! It was a hundred times more outrageous than the exaggerated films of the 90’s!

Whoosh! Su Daji’s left hand abruptly stopped just one meter away from Qin Hui’s face. The violent rush of wind accompanying her attack uprooted the decaying trees around her, and even turned the corpse coachman standing behind Qin Hui to disintegrate into ashes. Qin Hui’s clothes fluttered wildly, but, even then, he remained completely still.

Silence.

She was beautiful. Qin Hui was a man who had seen countless beauties in his lifetime, and even he couldn’t help but be dazzled by the beauty of this girl.

But if one looked closely, her stomach appeared to be sunken in.

“Perfect complexion. I believe you must have personally handpicked her as your avatar, haven’t you? What’s the matter? Not hungry anymore?” He beckoned, and the golden Buddhist beads that were scattered all over the ground immediately flew back into his hands and formed a string of beads once more.

“Are we going to continue with our discussions here?”

Qin Hui followed closely behind her without saying a word. After 300 meters, he finally spoke, “The new Hell has just been established. You should’ve detected it.”

After all, certain fears were etched deep into the marrows of their bones.

“Who’s the current King Yanluo of Hell?” She didn’t even notice how her body was trembling slightly when she spoke of these things, “The fact that it’s just established… means that it probably wouldn’t be too strong. Should we--...”

Silence.

It was fear.

Qin Hui’s next statement made Su Daji look up abruptly in shock, “I’ve seen the new King Yanluo of Hell.”

“To be honest, the situation in the new Hell is even worse than you think. Hell is practically starting from scratch. That said, I bring three pieces of information I believe you want to know more about.”

Su Daji’s lips trembled, “But… there’s the problem of the Array of the Nine Gods…”

Su Daji gulped nervously. All thoughts of her hunger had already gone out of her mind by now.

“Although it was just a glimpse, I’m pretty sure it was him.”

“He’s… still around?!”

As she spoke, she began to retreat madly. However, Qin Hui promptly held her back by the hand, “What are you doing?”

“What’s the hurry!!!” It was only when Qin Hui bellowed at her that Su Daji finally came back to her senses and composed herself once more.

“I’m here on the instructions of the Third King Yanluo of Hell, Yanluo Qin. He instructs me to relay a message to you.” Qin Hui’s heart burned with passion as he stared at Su Daji, “Return to Hell and serve him faithfully, and he might just spare our lives. However, we… may never return to the mortal realm again.”

“They can’t be trusted!”

“The Mythic Palace of reflections has duplicated the Shanhai Pass, and yet the new Hell has managed to seize it from right underneath Kong Mo’s nose! They were defeated by Hell! We’re talking about a battle between hundreds of thousands of yin soldiers! Hell is now ironing out the creases and taking the rest of Eastmount with it, before moving down along the coast. Do you know what that means? You’re next! Pearl River Delta! How far away are you? How far away is Eastmount Province from this place?!”

Smack! Su Daji smacked his hand away with a maddened frenzy in her eyes, “Surrender? What if we get sentenced to an eternity under the six paths of reincarnation again? Have you ever considered the possibility that even if we help him recover all the lost land and restore Hell to its former glory, he might still sentence us to the depths of the six paths of reincarnation?”

“How can you guarantee that we won’t go back to that dark place?!”

The three daolords were all different in their personalities. Naturally, they each had their own perspective of Hell and the rest of the world.

And it was for this reason that he was here today.

Therefore, she wasn’t able to steel her resolve and make up her mind.

She wanted to seize the opportunity, but she was afraid of commitment. The indelible marks that Hell had once left on her would never fade away from her mind.
