Chapter 466: Chapter 115: Truly Convinced!

The Netherworld Nine Soul Envoys could be regarded as the foremost among Frost Tears, without equal.

But at this moment, even though Zhou Yan had left, he still watched him leave with utmost respect.

He had been slapped across the face and even offered his other cheek for Zhou Yan to slap, as if not only did he not find it unbearable, but he actually felt it was an honor.

"With his current situation, it could hardly be so that even the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoys with their ulterior motives would act like this, could it? What exactly is the reason?"

Zhuge Guyan was somewhat puzzled in his heart, some things were even more confusing to him. Even the commands issued by Lei Yan King seemed strange to him.

He glanced thoughtfully at Zhuge Jiayue and then noticed that in Jiayue’s beautiful pupils seemed to reflect a different kind of grace.

"This is—"

Zhuge Guyan’s heart shivered, as he seemed to have perceived something.

"You two, encountering the king was merely your fortune. Because of you, I even got beaten, but it was worth it, because if he didn’t hit me, and was merely polite to me, I fear my whole body would feel uncomfortable."

The Netherworld Nine Soul Envoys actually took the initiative to speak.

Nether life forms, when communicating, usually did so in a form like waves and streams of light, but now, since the counterpart was human, the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoys employed the human way of speaking.

Zhuge Guyan nodded and calmly said, "Quite right, given his status, if he hits and scolds you, it is indeed your glory. But if he is polite to you, then you are not far from death."

The Netherworld Nine Soul Envoys nodded, saying, "We both understand this. I have experienced enough; what should be understood will be understood, and even some things that shouldn’t, have been made clear. As for what I’d rather not understand, even if understood, can still be ignored. What I’m concerned about now is just the issue of your injuries, wanting only for you to quickly recover fully."

"However, since the king has issued his commands, I will procure the Supreme Divine Medicine for you to recover quickly, but... I hope you act wisely when facing the king. There’s a saying among you humans—’A wise man submits to circumstances.’ I suppose you understand the meaning of this saying better than I do."

After pondering for a while, the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoy said these two paragraphs.

After the two paragraphs, the scene was slightly silent.

Zhuge Guyan did not respond, but Zhuge Jiayue just sneered and couldn’t help saying, "Either way, it’s still death, whether treated well or continuing to live a life worse than death, the end is the same. Since it’s the same, why bother to behave?"

Hearing this, the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoy’s ghost face remained expressionless, but his eyes narrowed into a slit, saying, "If you wish to continue suffering from Soul Killing Torture, I don’t mind. Ultimately, the king is my king, and even if I were to kill you, it would merely result in a punishment for me, but you will not have an easy time.

And, don’t think about negotiating any terms, neither of you two will escape, nor can you kill yourselves. So, any plans, you might as well honestly abandon them."

In front of Zhou Yan, the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoy was on bended knee, but in front of Zhuge Jiayue, he was a true superior, the authority of the superior unassailable, all matters must be dominated.

His words were cold, and a sinister smile on his cold ghostly face appeared extremely bleak.

Zhuge Jiayue fell silent, no longer speaking, because under her sensing she suddenly realized, all avenues of escape had been cut off. The ability to commit suicide they thought they still possessed was but an illusion, an illusion created by the Netherworld Power tormenting the soul and body to prevent utter despair.

That is to say, from beginning to end, they were entirely in someone else’s control.

This was what made the Soul Killing Torture the most terrifying.

And compared to the Soul Killing Chains, Soul Killing Torture could only be considered an utterly merciful method.

"Bring out the Divine Medicine, since there’s no way out, choosing a better way to end it yourself might as well be good!" Zhuge Guyan suddenly struggled against the chains binding him and said with resolve.

"That’s better!"

The Netherworld Nine Soul Envoy sneered repeatedly but also did not hesitate to bring out two elixirs that defied Creation.

The Elixirs displayed an extraordinarily noble purple hue, manifesting an aura of Taoist chanting. This aura, just by taking a whiff, made one feel relaxed and comfortable, pores opened naturally, as if about to Ascend.

To hasten their recovery, the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoy even brought out such incredibly precious Elixirs.

Zhuge Jiayue watched this scene, her expression very calm, as if she did not know what exactly had happened or was about to happen.

And Zhuge Guyan, at this moment, had an even more solemn expression, filled with concern.

...

Frost Tears.

Netherworld Soul Hall.

The air here was always filled with a salty, moist scent.

Zhou Yan stood here, pondering the route ahead.

Around the great hall stood many Netherworld Yin Spirits and Evil Spirits, like soldiers lined up awaiting orders.

The Nether was many, and each was extremely respectful to him, but Zhou Yan felt like an outsider to this world, because no matter where he was, he always felt a solitary sense of being an outsider.

Because of this loneliness, he was very sensitive in sensing the Netherworld Nine Soul Envoys leading Zhuge Jiayue and Zhuge Guyan in.
