Chapter 598 - Yellow Springs Pillar (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji and the others returned to the Netherworld. They did not directly leave the Netherworld because Lady Zhaoxuan was just a soul. If she rashly left, her soul would dissipate.

“Her soul is not simple; there seems to be some kind of power entangling it. Even if we place it in a treasure, she will not be able to leave the Netherworld,” Ren Niming said as he stroked his chin.

He was very curious about Lady Zhaoxuan and felt that Ninth Nether Buddha was hiding something.

Lady Zhaoxuan’s face was pale as she tightly grabbed Zhou Xuanji’s hand and said, “Son, don’t worry about me; you should quickly leave.”

Even though Zhou Xuanji was very powerful, the Eyes of Reincarnation were too terrifying. Adding on what Ren Niming had said about them, she did not want to be a hindrance to Zhou Xuanji.

Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said, “Since we’ve come, we’ll find a way to leave together. Don’t you want to see your granddaughter?”

Lady Zhaoxuan hesitated. She indeed wanted to leave, but she did not want to be a burden to Zhou Xuanji.

Zhou Xuanji looked at Ren Niming and said, “You still haven’t thought of anything?”

He did not treat him with greater respect because of his identity.

The two of them were working together, and currently, apart from helping him find Lady Zhaoxuan, Ren Niming had not provided him with any substantial help.

Ren Niming frowned and said, “Since it’s like this, let’s investigate the secrets of the Netherworld.”

Qiu Hu asked in curiosity, “What secrets? Could it be that destiny is controlling the Netherworld?”

Xuan Daoya closed his eyes and began to pinch his fingers and divine.

“Puchi—” He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.

Ren Niming looked down at him and said, “You think destiny and reincarnation are things you can divine?”

Si Mengyan asked, “Could it be that there is a Heavenly Saint backing Ninth Nether Buddha? From the strength he exhibited, he is not a match for Zhou Xuanji at all, but he remained just as furious. This means that he does not feel any fear; this does not make sense.”

Ren Niming nodded and said, “Looks like we’ll have to go to that place.”

His gaze became somewhat deep.

“Where are we going?” Qiu Hu asked in curiosity.

With Zhou Xuanji here, he was not afraid of any danger.

He felt that Zhou Xuanji already had the strength to contend with Heavenly Saints.

“Come with me.” Ren Niming turned and flew in a direction, and everyone else followed behind him.

On the way, Lady Zhaoxuan asked Zhou Xuanji about his life.

Zhou Xuanji did not hide anything, and the two of them began to talk.

After hearing that the Great Zhou’s Empress had died at Zhou Xuanji’s hands, Lady Zhaoxuan felt incredibly delighted and laughed out loud.

However, hearing that Zhou Xuanji had killed Zhou Yalong when Emperor Yan of Zhou had ascended, causing Emperor Yan of Zhou to lose all face, her expression became complicated.

She could blame many people, but she was unable to blame Emperor Yan of Zhou.

When Emperor Yan of Zhou had been at the palace, he had greatly doted on her.

For her, Emperor Yan of Zhou could even endure the Empress being killed by Zhou Xuanji.

She gloomily sighed.

Zhou Xuanji pretended that he did not hear this and continued talking.

Xuan Daoya, Qiu Hu, and Si Mengyan were also listening; they also wanted to know how Zhou Xuanji had grown up.

Following this, Zhou Xuanji began to sweep across the Northern Wilderness and challenge the Heavenly Palace.

He had escaped from death time and time again, and he had saved all living creatures many times before coming to the Wanshen Great Thousand.

The more they listened, the more in awe they felt.

Zhou Xuanji had walked quite a difficult path.

It could be said that from the start, he had continuously faced oppression.

Now, even destiny was trying to banish him; what a joke.

Six hours later, they came to a cliff. There was dense fog ahead, and the lighting was quite dim.
