Chapter 6076: Baili Zilin
The Netherworld Envoy noticed a two-meter-tall man standing behind him.
This person wore the Netherworld Sectâs red cloak without the white veil, revealing his slightly thin but dashing face. His white hair fluttered behind him. He gave off an imposing impression.
The Netherworld Envoy quickly bowed and said, âPaying respects to Lord Zilin!â
This man was Baili Zilin, the son of one of the Netherworld Sectâs powerhouses. Due to his outstanding talent, he had always been dubbed as the Netherworld Sectâs most powerful talent.
The Netherworld Envoy heard that Baili Zilinâs father was the one who had mobilized the Netherworld Sectmembers after Xianhai Yuâer, and the goal had been to help Baili Zilin.
Anyone else who did something like that would have been severely punished, but due to the power and authority wielded by Baili Zilinâs father, he managed to suppress this matter.
The Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar had been activated for Baili Zilinâs sake, and Baili Zilin did manage to trigger the red cloud phenomenon, just that it had been much weaker compared to the one right now.
Baili Zilin paid no attention to the Netherworld Envoy. His eyes were fixed on the red cloud phenomenon caused by the red runes and black clouds gushing out of the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar.
âWhat a beautiful phenomenon. This must be how it looks when the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar is fully awakened,â Baili Zilin remarked before turning to the Netherworld Envoy. âWhoâs the Chu Feng you speak about?â
âLord Zilin, Chu Feng is Jie Ranqingâs son, the man who won the title of the strongest junior in the Nine Heavensâ Zenith.
âBack when I brought back Miss Song Yun from the Eastern Region, I bumped into Chu Feng and planted a Netherworld Embryo in him. Chu Fengâs Netherworld Embryo received the guidance of the Divine Vat, but I failed to bring him back due to a mishap happening along the way.
âI happened to bump into Chu Feng in this realm earlier, and I thought I should let him try since the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar has already been activated. Who could have thought that he would fully awaken the altar?
âOur Netherworld Sect mustnât miss such a talented junior!â the Netherworld Envoy exclaimed.
âWhereâs Chu Feng right now?â Baili Zilin asked.
âLord Zilin, for some reason, Chu Feng didnât trigger the phenomenon right away when he stepped on the altar, so he took his leave.â
âYouâre saying he doesnât know that he triggered this phenomenon?â
âHe doesnât know.â
âWho else knows that Chu Feng has been here?â
âNo one else knows. I had to sneak Chu Feng in as he wasnât from our sect.â At this point, the Netherworld Envoy kneeled and said, âLord Zilin, I did this with the best intention for our sect! I committed this folly because I believed that having a talent like Chu Feng would bulk up our sect, but I understand that a mistake is a mistake, and Iâm willing to receive punishment for it.â
The Netherworld Envoy knew that he had done wrong. He was nervous despite knowing that he could make up for it with his accomplishment.
âCalm down. You have done something huge for our sect this time,â Baili Zilin said as he reached out to the Netherworld Envoy.
The Netherworld Envoy breathed a sigh of relief.
All of a sudden, Baili Zilinâs hand morphed into a sharp claw that grabbed the Netherworld Envoyâs neck, lifting him like a helpless chick.
Wu!
The Netherworld Envoy struggled, but he could neither break free nor speak.
Baili Zilin eyed the Netherworld Envoy with disdainful eyes as if the latter were an ant.
âYou lowly thing. You wouldnât have been promoted to a Demon-tier Netherworld Envoy had you not brought Song Yun back, let alone have the qualification to step in here. You were permitted in here to cultivate, but you have the galls to bring an outsider in here. That being said, I have to say that you did help me.â
The Netherworld Envoy was confused. He didnât get what Baili Zilin was driving at.
He was helping the Netherworld Sect; how was this helping Baili Zilin?
âBut I donât want anyone else knowing about this.â
Baili Zilin exerted a powerful suction force that pulled the Netherworld Envoy into his palm.
After dealing with the Netherworld Envoy, he took a special pill, and his complexion immediately turned pale. His aura withered as well, becoming frail. He lay weakly in front of the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar with a strained smile, waiting for something.
Boom! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Soon, the red clouds covered the realm and seeped out into the palace outside, where the spirit formation gate leading into this realm was located.
The red clouds forming in the palace outside were limited, and it didnât spread either, but those who saw it were startled. The ones guarding the area quickly scattered in all directions.
Moments later, powerful figures stepped into the palace. When they saw the phenomenon inside the palace, they unhesitatingly rushed into the realm. It didnât take them long to arrive before the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar.
âYoung master Zilin, whatâs wrong?â
They rushed up to Baili Zilin upon seeing him.
âIâm fine. I exerted myself too much, but itâs not an issue.â Baili Zilin shook his head.
âYoung master Zilin, were you the one who triggered this phenomenon?â
Those powerful figures could hardly conceal their excitement.
âMm.â Baili Zilin nodded.
The powerful figures were so excited that their hands started moving around vigorously. They looked at Baili Zilin with a different light in their eyes. These were people whom even Baili Zilin had to address reverentially, but they suddenly half-kneeled to Baili Zilin and bowed deeply to him.
âPaying respect to the young sectmaster!â
Baili Zilin hurriedly waved his hand.
âMilords, please get up. I may have triggered the phenomenon, but Iâm a mere junior. I am unworthy of that title and your formalities.â
âYoung master Zilin, this phenomenon has never appeared before. With this phenomenon, no one can challenge your qualification to be our young sectmaster!â one of them said.
The others nodded in agreement.
They understood the importance of the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar as veterans higher up in the Netherworld Sect. It verified not just one talent but also oneâs right to succeed in the highest position in the Netherworld Sect.
However, it was extremely difficult to meet the conditions.
First and foremost, the person needed to possess absolute talent and strength to ensure that he could reach the top and quell all dissenting voices.
Second, the phenomenon must be sufficiently strong, reaching a legendary level. A normal phenomenon itself wouldnât be enough. Red clouds had to envelop not just this realm but also seep into the palace outside.
There was a saying about the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar.
When red clouds cover the sky, the day has come for the Netherworld Godâs ascension.
This phenomenon has never appeared before. The red cloud phenomenon Baili Zilin had previously triggered hadnât reached this level. The others thought that even though he was talented, he was still not qualified to take the throne yet.
But Baili Zilin achieved the impossible today.
This proved that he had the right to become the master of the Netherworld Sect in the future.
