Chapter 6076: Baili Zilin
The Netherworld Envoy noticed a two-meter-tall man standing behind him.
This person wore the Netherworld Sect’s red cloak without the white veil, revealing his slightly thin but das.h.i.+ng face. His white hair fluttered behind him. He gave off an imposing impression.
The Netherworld Envoy quickly bowed and said, “Paying respects to Lord Zilin!”
This man was Baili Zilin, the son of one of the Netherworld Sect’s powerhouses. Due to his outstanding talent, he had always been dubbed as the Netherworld Sect’s most powerful talent.
The Netherworld Envoy heard that Baili Zilin’s father was the one who had mobilized the Netherworld Sectmembers after Xianhai Yu’er, 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 Zilin’s father, he managed to suppress this matter.
The Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar had been activated for Baili Zilin’s 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 gus.h.i.+ng out of the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar.
“What a beautiful phenomenon. This must be how it looks when the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar is fully awakened,” Baili Zilin remarked before turning to the Netherworld Envoy. “Who’s the Chu Feng you speak about?”
“Lord Zilin, Chu Feng is Jie Ranqing’s son, the man who won the t.i.tle of the strongest junior in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith.
“Back when I brought back Miss Song Yun from the Eastern Region, I b.u.mped into Chu Feng and planted a Netherworld Embryo in him. Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo received the guidance of the Divine Vat, but I failed to bring him back due to a mishap happening along the way.
“I happened to b.u.mp into Chu Feng in this realm earlier, and I thought I should let him try since the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar has already been activated. Who could have thought that he would fully awaken the altar?
“Our Netherworld Sect mustn’t miss such a talented junior!” the Netherworld Envoy exclaimed.
“Where’s Chu Feng right now?” Baili Zilin asked.
“Lord Zilin, for some reason, Chu Feng didn’t trigger the phenomenon right away when he stepped on the altar, so he took his leave.”
“You’re saying he doesn’t know that he triggered this phenomenon?”
“He doesn’t know.”
“Who else knows that Chu Feng has been here?”
“No one else knows. I had to sneak Chu Feng in as he wasn’t from our sect.” At this point, the Netherworld Envoy kneeled and said, “Lord 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 I’m willing to receive punishment for it.”
The Netherworld Envoy knew that he had done wrong. He was nervous despite knowing that he could make up for it with his accomplishment.
“Calm down. You have done something huge for our sect this time,” Baili Zilin said as he reached out to the Netherworld Envoy.
The Netherworld Envoy breathed a sigh of relief.
All of a sudden, Baili Zilin’s hand morphed into a sharp claw that grabbed the Netherworld Envoy’s 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.
“You lowly thing. You wouldn’t 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.”
The Netherworld Envoy was confused. He didn’t get what Baili Zilin was driving at.
He was helping the Netherworld Sect; how was this helping Baili Zilin?
“But I don’t want anyone else knowing about this.”
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 G.o.d Summoning Altar with a strained smile, waiting for something.
Boom!
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 didn’t 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 didn’t take them long to arrive before the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar.
“Young master Zilin, what’s wrong?”
They rushed up to Baili Zilin upon seeing him.
“I’m fine. I exerted myself too much, but it’s not an issue.” Baili Zilin shook his head.
“Young master Zilin, were you the one who triggered this phenomenon?”
Those powerful figures could hardly conceal their excitement.
“Mm.” 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.
“Paying respect to the young sectmaster!”
Baili Zilin hurriedly waved his hand.
“Milords, please get up. I may have triggered the phenomenon, but I’m a mere junior. I am unworthy of that t.i.tle and your formalities.”
“Young master Zilin, this phenomenon has never appeared before. With this phenomenon, no one can challenge your qualification to be our young sectmaster!” one of them said.
The others nodded in agreement.
They understood the importance of the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar as veterans higher up in the Netherworld Sect. It verified not just one talent but also one’s 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 wouldn’t 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 G.o.d Summoning Altar.
When red clouds cover the sky, the day has come for the Netherworld G.o.d’s ascension.
This phenomenon has never appeared before. The red cloud phenomenon Baili Zilin had previously triggered hadn’t 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.
