Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"Of course, it is through methods similar to appeasing resentful spirits that I inform the heavens of the great meritorious deeds that have been accomplished. Am I correct, Resentful Spirit Emperor?"

A faint trace of mockery appeared at the corner of the Underworld Lord's mouth, as if he had already seen through Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was overjoyed in her heart, but deliberately wore a displeased expression on her face.

"Why don't we cooperate properly, Resentful Spirit Emperor?"

"Cooperate? What can you offer?"

"The heavenly and earthly treasures used to repair the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Although your resentful spirits have existed for a long time, most of that time has been spent sealed away, so you have hardly accumulated anything. If you rely on yourselves to gather the heavenly and earthly treasures, I'm afraid it will take until the next era to repair the cycle of reincarnation."

"You seem to know quite a lot."

"I know more than you can imagine," the Underworld Lord said arrogantly. "If you've made up your mind, meet me at the Demon Burial Abyss in seven days."

Before Chen Xi could respond, the Underworld Lord disappeared from the palace, as if he had never appeared in the first place, taking his throne with him.

Chen Xi frowned slightly as she looked at the spot where the Underworld Lord had been, seemingly contemplating whether or not to keep the appointment in seven days.

"Your Majesty, I don't think they really want to cooperate with us. They probably just heard rumors about us and want to take advantage," Xia Die immediately said when she saw Chen Xi hesitating.

She didn't believe that the Underworld Lord could bring anything useful to their grand plan.

The so-called offer of heavenly and earthly treasures seemed more like an unattainable promise.

"What do you think?" Chen Xi looked at Gao Wang.

Although Gao Wang was not a loyal subordinate, Chen Xi believed that under the drive of self-interest, he would still give his opinion.

Sure enough, Gao Wang frowned. "Well... I also don't think they have any sincere intention to cooperate, but they do know too much. We still have to keep the appointment and see what they really want to do, so that we can continue to respond accordingly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi fell into deep thought.

Every step was crucial for him, who had just arrived in the Immortal Realm.

If he took a wrong step, he might be faced with an abyss.

Therefore, he had to make this decision very carefully.

Meanwhile, in the Underworld, the Underworld Lord slowly opened his eyes after retrieving his clone.

"Father," Ming Luan respectfully saluted when he saw this.

"In seven days, you will go to the Demon Burial Abyss and meet the Resentful Spirit Emperor."

"Father, you are truly amazing. Even the Resentful Spirit Emperor is willing to cooperate with you."

"I will repair the cycle of reincarnation and obtain the method to gain merit. You will cooperate with me and gradually harvest the resentful spirits. The Resentful Spirit Emperor gives me a feeling that is different from what is recorded."

"Harvest the resentful spirits? Will that not anger the Resentful Spirit Emperor?"

"No need to worry. The Resentful Spirit Emperor is fierce on the surface but weak on the inside. If he is not harboring great ambitions, then he lacks confidence."

"Father believes that the Resentful Spirit Emperor lacks confidence?"

"Most likely. But the specifics will have to be probed by you."

"Understood! I will be at your side, Father."

The Underworld Lord nodded, his expression becoming gloomy.

Suddenly, he asked, "How is that brat Ming Chengfeng doing now?"

During their encounter in the Extreme Sword Universe, the Underworld Lord suffered a great loss.

He lost the true blood of the Ancestral Dragon and was heavily injured by the group of Dao Realm experts.

Fortunately, they didn't kill him, and the Underworld Lord had many means at his disposal.

He quickly went into hiding and "disappeared."

No one knew that he had secretly returned to the Underworld.

And when he "disappeared," the Underworld Clan also became chaotic.

In the past, the Underworld Clan was suppressed by the powerful strength of the Underworld Lord, and any internal conflicts would be hidden and not erupt.

But now, without his suppression, all kinds of contradictions have erupted.

The most prominent contradiction among them is the position of the Underworld Lord.

The young generation, Ming Chengfeng and Ming Xietian, as well as the elders of the same generation as the Underworld Lord, are all fighting for the position of the Underworld Lord.

The most infuriating one for the Underworld Lord is Ming Chengfeng.

Because only he clearly colluded with external forces to cause trouble within the Underworld Clan.

"This person's ambitious nature was exposed after you pretended to disappear, Father. Neither Ming Xietian nor the influence of those elders can compare to Ming Chengfeng."

Speaking of this, Ming Luan also looked angry.

He couldn't tolerate others' disloyalty to the Underworld Lord.

"Let this kid continue, let's see how many people like him he can bring with him. Then we can catch them all at once. I haven't been missing for long enough, and he's still holding back."

"Understood, I will follow Father's orders."

"Well, go. I leave the matter of communicating with the Spirit Emperor to you."

The Underworld Lord closed his eyes and continued to restore his body.

Ming Luan respectfully bowed to the Underworld Lord and disappeared in front of him.

...

Seven days later, the Demon Burial Abyss.

Chen Xi, along with Xia Die and Gao Wang, arrived here with countless resentful spirits.

These resentful spirits had just arrived here and eagerly began to absorb the surrounding power of resentment.

They cheered and jumped like cats that had stolen fish.

"Such powerful power of resentment! It truly deserves to be an ancient battlefield!"

Even though they didn't know the history of this place, they could still feel the strong power of resentment.

Countless demon and human races had been buried here, and when they died, they carried strong resentment and unwillingness.

Even now, they could still see human and demon races fighting each other.

"Tsk, they chose to discuss matters here, aren't they afraid of being seen?"

Gao Wang looked around with a disgusted expression, feeling that it was very easy to be discovered here.

"It's fine, with the Emperor here, it doesn't matter if we are seen."

Xia Die looked at Chen Xi with tender eyes.

Chen Xi awkwardly laughed and didn't respond.

At this moment, a tall and thin man walked towards them. His proportions looked extremely disproportionate, like a bamboo pole person.

"Ming Luan of the Underworld Clan, pays respects to the Spirit Emperor and the Two Saints."

Chen Xi looked at the weak cultivation of Ming Luan with some confusion, "Are you... a follower of the Underworld Lord?"

Ming Luan nodded, "Naturally. His Majesty has entrusted me with this matter."

Looking at the calm Ming Luan, Xia Die became a little unhappy.

Although Ming Luan was also a strong Saint Realm cultivator, his talent might not be worse than Xia Die and Gao Wang's.

But compared to Chen Xi, the Spirit Emperor, Ming Luan's identity seemed inadequate.

She immediately changed her expression, "Where is your Underworld Lord? Why didn't he come in person? Don't our grand plan and the noble status of the Emperor deserve the personal presence of the Underworld Lord?"

A strange red light flashed in Ming Luan's left eye, but his tone remained calm, "I believe the three of you have understood our Lord's current situation since seven days ago. It is not suitable for him to wander around."

Xia Die wanted to say something more, but Chen Xi waved his hand to signal her to stop.

Seeing this, Xia Die could only keep quiet.

"Since that's the case, let's get straight to the point. Why did you invite us here?"
