From today onwards, I hereby sentence you to protect these two friends of mine, without neglect. You will do so until a hundred million years pass in the Spirit Great World. Are you willing?” Lin Yun said with a slight nod, turning to look at Song Ting.
In the Netherworld, the atmosphere among the Ghost Practitioners is mostly not good. Song Ting, who used to be a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner, actually gifted treasures from heaven and earth to those Ghost Practitioners who were not selected as subordinates. This shows that his nature is indeed not bad.
As one of the Yama of the Ten Courts, an upper Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner, with a bit of nurturing, can become one of the top Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld; it is worth recruiting.
“Hm?” Song Ting was slightly startled.
“Why haven’t you quickly thanked the Blood Emperor for his mercy?” the Tri-Eyed Emperor scolded.
“Thank you, Blood Emperor, for sparing Song Ting. Song Ting is willing, very willing!” Song Ting, emotional, hastily bowed again.
One moment, he was facing life and death, the next moment, although the Blood Emperor did not directly recruit him, Song Ting was not a fool. He saw that the relationship between these two ordinary Ghost Practitioners and the Blood Emperor was extraordinary. How could their future treatment be anything but excellent?
Not to mention that these two Ghost Practitioners would definitely be able to practice in the New Nine Layered Heaven, and even practicing directly in the forty-fifth layered heaven was not impossible. Being his two ordinary Ghost Practitioner bodyguards, he naturally could also follow them to practice in the New Nine Layered Heaven, and even in the forty-fifth layered heaven.
Moreover, it was without a time limit, no—an upper limit of a billion years in the Spirit Great World… Was this time long? No, too short!
He resolved in his heart to perform well, hoping to be “officially hired” in the future!
In the future, should the Blood Emperor or someone break the New Layered Heaven, he would also have the first opportunity to experience the opening scene of the New Layered Heaven, a chance for a great fortune.
This was simply a pie falling from the sky. How could he not agree?
“He… to protect us closely?” Xiao Chong’s eyes bulged, almost popping out.
If the information they knew was correct, this Ghost Practitioner powerhouse was one of the top Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld, a super Super Warrior among the Yama of the Ten Courts, now their personal bodyguard?
And it seemed, by his expression, that instead of feeling repulsion, he found it to be a great benefit.
“Could it be that the information we have is wrong? Were the so-called Yama of the Ten Courts merely top powerhouses at some level, rather than the top powerhouses of the entire Netherworld? Or perhaps, only the top powerhouses of Reincarnation Land? Or even, the top powerhouses of a certain area of Reincarnation Land?” Xiao Chong couldn’t help but have some doubts.
It wasn’t strange for him to think this way; after all, the scenes unfolding before him far exceeded his expectations.
“How should we deal with them?” In the meantime, Lin Yun turned his head to look at Bronze Bull and the other Ghost Practitioners, inquiring.
“Brother Xiao, no, Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao! It was all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. We were merely joking with Lord Xiao, please don’t take it to heart; spare us!” Seeing Lin Yun turn to look at them, Bronze Bull panicked inside and kept kowtowing toward Xiao Chong, pleading with a sorrowful voice.
Their grief was genuine; the thought of them potentially dying at any moment filled them with anguish and resentment.
Unlike Xiao Chong and Emma White, who had only recently entered the Netherworld, they had been there for quite some time. They knew very well that Song Ting, as a Yama, was indeed a top powerhouse in the Netherworld.
The Tri-Eyed Emperor was most likely one of the Nine Emperors, the strongest nine Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld.
And that Blood Emperor was probably also one of the Nine Emperors, but his respectful treatment by both Song Ting and the Tri-Eyed Emperor suggested he might be a top Super Warrior among the Nine Emperors.
Now, Song Ting too had become a personal bodyguard to Xiao Chong and Emma White!
What sort of terrifying thing had they unwittingly kicked?
If they had known the terrifying background of Xiao Chong and Emma White earlier, they would never dare to offend them. No, they would have sought their favor instead, so why provoke them?
“Very good, very good. Lord Xiao, please forgive us!”
“We beg Lord Xiao to spare us!”
The other Ghost Practitioners behind Bronze Bull also kowtowed continuously toward Xiao Chong and Emma White, begging for mercy.
“Forget it. Information about the Reincarnation Flower was ultimately obtained by Emma White and me from you. Falling into your plans was also due to our own greed. After all, you didn’t manage to do anything to us. Considering that Brother Lin and I have just met, let’s spare you!” Xiao Chong’s gaze lingered on Bronze Bull and his fellow Ghost Practitioners for a while before he finally spoke indifferently.
In fact, he had sensed a trace of killing intent from Bronze Bull and his fellow Ghost Practitioners earlier, but he was unsure whether it was a spontaneous intention or a premeditated plan. If it had been in his previous life, he might have simply killed this group of Ghost Practitioners to avoid any potential future troubles.
But now, he was still unclear about the situation concerning Lin Yun, the Tri-Eyed Emperor, and Song Ting Yama, which also gave him some hesitations.
About Lin Yun, he was not worried.
What if, by deciding to kill these Ghost Practitioners, he betrayed a poor impression to the Tri-Eyed Emperor and Song Ting Yama, or caused them to have a negative view of Lin Yun?
In the end, he decided to let them go.
“Let them go,” Emma White nodded slightly and added.
“Thank you, Lord Xiao! Thank you, Lady Emma!” Hearing the words of Xiao Chong and Emma White, Bronze Bull and the other Ghost Practitioners were overjoyed, weeping with happiness. They kept bowing their heads to Xiao Chong and Emma White, expressing their gratitude profusely.
