Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Netherworld King Mark

This was still under the circumstance where Lin Yi’s strength was limited.

If Lin Yi could have exerted his full strength,

would Xue Wuya have been his opponent at all?

However, now that he had already entered the Blood God Sect under the identity of Chen Feng, he naturally couldn’t reveal his identity unless absolutely necessary.

The Heavenly Nether King nodded slightly, then his expression gradually became serious as he said, "Chen Feng, do you know the deeper intention of sending you to vie for the position of Holy General?"

"Disciple understands."

Lin Yi bowed to the Heavenly Nether King, "Master wishes for the disciple to enter the Dark Abyss to search for something for you."

"But as for what specifically to search for, neither Brother Black Dragon nor Sister Xue Qiangwei has told the disciple."

The Heavenly Nether King’s eyes narrowed, and with a large wave of his hand, he sealed all the doors of the entire palace before his gaze fell back on Lin Yi and he said, "I want you to find a person."

"Who?"

Lin Yi concentrated his attention.

"The former Supreme of the Blood God Sect, Blood Demon Venerable,"

said the Heavenly Nether King.

"Blood Demon Venerable?"

Lin Yi frowned, clearly hearing this name for the first time.

In the midst of speaking, the Heavenly Nether King had already stood up from his seat and walked straight to Lin Yi. He exuded a majestic presence like mountains, making it difficult to look directly at him.

"The Blood Empress has been in control of the Blood God Sect for only a little over a decade, before her, the Blood Demon Venerable was the Supreme of our sect."

"And it was the Blood Demon Venerable who personally promoted me."

The gaze of the Heavenly Nether King was profound as he said, "Yet, fifteen years ago, the Blood Demon Venerable suddenly disappeared in the Dark Abyss, and following that, the Blood Empress rose out of nowhere, quickly suppressing various opposing forces to become the new Supreme of the Blood God Sect."

Lin Yi’s brow furrowed, "After so many years, could the Blood Demon Venerable have already perished in the Dark Abyss?"

"No."

The Heavenly Nether King shook his head, "In my hand, I have the Blood Demon Venerable’s Lifebound Spirit Plate. If the Blood Demon Venerable were to fall, this plate would also shatter."

"Yet, that Lifebound Spirit Plate is still intact, which indicates the Blood Demon Venerable is still alive in this world, quite possibly within the Dark Abyss."

"However, he is likely imprisoned. Otherwise, why would he not show up for so many years, allowing the Blood Empress to act recklessly within the sect and monopolize all the power?"

While speaking, a sharp cold light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Nether King.

"Does Master suspect that the Blood Demon Venerable might be imprisoned by the Blood Empress?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi finally understood the purpose of the Blood Empress placing him under the Heavenly Nether King.

So, this Heavenly Nether King actually harbored second thoughts towards the Blood Empress and still pined for the old master, the Blood Demon Venerable?

"Correct."

The Heavenly Nether King nodded, "The Blood Demon Venerable must have been plotted against by the Blood Empress and hence imprisoned within the Dark Abyss."

"This time I am sending you into the Dark Abyss to discover the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Venerable."

However, Lin Yi’s brow was tightly knit as he said, "According to Master, the Blood Demon Venerable is imprisoned in the Dark Abyss by the Blood Empress."

"The disciple worries that with my strength, even if I were to find the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Venerable, I might not have the ability to rescue him."

"You need not worry about that."

The Heavenly Nether King waved his hand and presented Lin Yi with a Blood Talisman, "Once you have located the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Venerable, immediately use this talisman to contact me. I will personally handle the matters that follow."

"Yes."

Lin Yi bowed his hands in respect and then took the Communication Blood Talisman from the Heavenly Nether King’s hands.

On the surface, he remained calm, but inside, a storm of shock and disbelief was brewing.

The Heavenly Nether King is going to make a move personally?

But wasn’t there supposed to be a barrier set up by the Blood Empress at the entrance to the Dark Abyss?

It seemed that the Heavenly Nether King had also made ample preparations, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to startle the snake.

While Lin Yi’s thoughts were tumultuous, the Heavenly Nether King’s voice suddenly came through, "Chen Feng, don’t you aspire to become a Saint Heir?"

"I promise you that once the task is completed, I will surely request the Blood Demon Venerable to appoint you as the Saint Heir."

Lin Yi’s face immediately lit up with eagerness, overjoyed, he said, "Thank you, Master."

However, in the next moment, the Heavenly Nether King’s expression turned cold, and a tremendous pressure bore down upon Lin Yi, pressing on him so heavily that he struggled to breathe.

"Chen Feng, I am placing such trust in you, do not be foolish and commit the stupidity of betraying me."

"The matter concerning the Blood Demon Venerable is a secret taboo for the Blood Empress, and those who know this taboo have only one path which leads to death."

"Now that you are aware of this taboo, there’s only one way for you to live, and that is to obey my commands. Do you understand?"

Lin Yi seemed to be in immense pain under this terrifying pressure, he hurriedly bowed deeply to the Blood Demon Venerable and said, "Master, rest assured, your disciple bears no second thoughts towards you!"

"Even if it means being shattered to pieces, your disciple will fulfill the task you’ve entrusted!"

Only then did the Heavenly Nether King nod in satisfaction. At the same time, the terrifying pressure that enveloped Lin Yi dispersed instantly.

"There is less than a month left before your entry into the Dark Abyss."

"Go now, make your preparations well!"

The Heavenly Nether King gestured.

"Your disciple takes his leave."

Lin Yi respectfully excused himself and then left the Dharma King Hall.

After Lin Yi had departed,

the Black Dragon immediately stepped forward, bowed to the Heavenly Nether King, and said, "Master, Chen Feng has just joined Tianming Island and has not been with us for even a month. You’ve told him such a top secret, aren’t you afraid he could be a spy sent by the Blood Empress to your side?"

"Even though Master has already planted Netherworld Blood Poison in this youngster, I fear it still can’t ensure absolute infallibility."

Netherworld Blood Poison, though a unique and deadly poison of the Heavenly Nether King, might not be beyond the Blood Empress’ ability to cure, for she is a Great Power within the Venerable Realm.

To the Black Dragon’s surprise, the Heavenly Nether King looked at him with detached eyes and said, "If even you can think of this, don’t you think I would have considered it?"

"Rest assured, I’ve already tampered with the Netherworld King Pill that I gifted the boy. Once he completely assimilates that pill, a Netherworld King Mark will remain inside his body."

"If he dares to play any tricks, with just a single thought from me, I can make sure he dies without a whole corpse."

Netherworld King Mark?

Hearing this, both the Black Dragon and Xue Qiangwei shivered with fear.

As disciples of the Heavenly Nether King themselves, they were merely afflicted with the Netherworld Blood Poison.

Just that Netherworld Blood Poison was enough to make them suffer a fate worse than death.

And this new junior disciple of theirs, Chen Feng, not only had the Netherworld Blood Poison within him but also had a Netherworld King Mark planted by the Heavenly Nether King.

At this thought, the pair couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity for this new tenth disciple.
