"Perhaps, because I’m a friend of the Nine Nether True Monarch. It so happens that the Nine Nether True Monarch handles souls, so he’s skilled in dealing with this kind of thing?"

Julius Reed must deflect the suspicion to avoid these guys becoming suspicious.

It’s still unknown whether there are Blood Emperor’s people here.

If someone informs them, all efforts would be in vain.

"Then quickly give it a try!"

Everyone urged impatiently.

They saw a glimmer of hope once more!

No one wanted to stay here, like being imprisoned, with no freedom at all.

The endless waiting in the dark, not knowing how many years have passed, made them anxious.

Now, hope appeared.

"I’ll give it a try, you all stand back a bit."

Julius Reed moved forward to explore!

The Formation crumbled instantly upon encountering divine consciousness.

"We did it, just one more to go!"

"Hurry up! Keep going!"

The souls were indescribably excited!

They never dreamed, they’d be able to get out so quickly!

"Alright, don’t rush."

What Julius Reed was pondering was, after getting out, how to settle the souls inside here.

If they went out, they’d inevitably be like the Nine Nether True Monarch, occupying others’ bodies, driven by ambition to commit evil.

But if they don’t go out, how could he himself escape?

If only the Nine Nether True Monarch were here.

"Bro, are you there?"

A voice suddenly came through.

"Who’s speaking to me?" Julius Reed glanced at the souls.

The souls all looked at him nervously, shaking their heads: "No?"

Everyone was communicating through Telekinesis, so private exchanges were impossible.

As long as Telekinesis was used, everyone would feel it.

"Strange."

While Julius Reed was thinking, that familiar voice was heard again.

"I am the Nine Nether True Monarch, are you in this white lotus?"

"Nine Nether?" Julius Reed felt a bit delighted, since communication with the Nine Nether True Monarch meant his body was still safe.

It must be that the Nine Nether True Monarch found him, discovered the soul was missing, and coincidentally there was a white lotus, so he asked tentatively.

"If you’re there, do as I say."

"Point forward three times with Telekinesis, take seven steps forward, turn around, and tap once mid-air with your middle finger."

Though Julius Reed was unsure of the Nine Nether True Monarch’s meaning, he still did as instructed.

His consecutive moves stunned the nearby souls.

"Bro, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

"Exactly, don’t waste time!"

After finally seeing hope, how could they give up?

Some souls even proposed capturing this guy to use him to break the Formation!

They were too anxious.

"Don’t rush, the final Formation requires caution." Julius Reed calmed them as he completed the Nine Nether True Monarch’s actions, starting to wait.

"Now you can speak directly. They can’t sense it; apart from you and me, no third party can know."

The Nine Nether True Monarch’s voice came through again.

"I’m trapped here, there are some souls inside too."

Julius Reed spoke using Telekinesis, not forgetting to glance at the opposite side.

The Telekinesis showed no reaction, only eyes filled with expectation could be seen.

This indicated they hadn’t heard his words.

"What did you mean earlier?" he asked.

The Nine Nether True Monarch surely had his reasons for his actions.

But such odd occurrences made Julius Reed curious.

"This establishes a Telekinesis field known only to you and me, equivalent to a phone call between us, the other souls can’t hear."

The Nine Nether True Monarch explained.

Julius Reed described his situation entirely, focusing on how to handle the spirits inside.

"It’s simple, you break out of the Formation. I’ll handle the rest."

The Nine Nether True Monarch confidently said, "I control the Nine Provinces, dealing with them is my forte. But I was surprised the Blood Emperor isn’t dead."

"Get ready."

Julius Reed smashed the third Formation with a palm!

As the Formation shattered, he immediately flew out!

It felt like there was a force pulling the soul out.

"Whoosh!"

Julius Reed suddenly opened his eyes.

Yet he found he couldn’t open them!

Everything was pitch black!

"I’m back!"

Julius Reed clenched his fists, realizing his soul and body had merged again.

He immediately opened his divine eye, seeing the Nine Nether True Monarch sitting in front of him.

Although the divine eye hadn’t fully recovered, it wasn’t a problem seeing ten meters around now.

"How did you find me?" Julius Reed felt a chill.

"I have your location." The Nine Nether True Monarch opened his Apple phone, pointing at the ’Find’ app. "We use the same account, I know wherever you are."

"..."

Julius Reed decided to get the Nine Nether True Monarch a card.

Register an account.

This bit of privacy, completely exposed.

"Alright. How did you handle those souls?" Julius Reed was more concerned about this.

"Perhaps they can tell you some secrets. Like, the Blood Emperor."

"I’ve already dealt with it."

The Nine Nether True Monarch crushed the white lotus, and with a flick of his right hand!

Six apparitions suddenly appeared in front!

It was the six souls inside the white lotus!

"How did you do it?" Julius Reed was very curious.

Souls had no physical form, they were merely a force of Telekinesis.

How could they possibly emerge?

"I am the Nine Nether True Monarch, controlling the Nine Provinces souls." The Nine Nether True Monarch said, with some pride: "This is a minor issue."

"Nine Nether True Monarch?"

The six souls hurriedly knelt, continuously pleading: "Have mercy, True Monarch!"

They were from the same era, not doubting the Nine Nether True Monarch’s skills at all.

"I ask, you answer. Whoever answers slowly, I’ll kill them." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Nine Nether True Monarch sitting confidently on a chair demanded, "Is the Blood Emperor alive or dead?"

"Alive! Like us, Telekinesis tethered within the Yellow Lotus!"

The six answered in unison.

"Yellow Lotus?" The Nine Nether True Monarch paused, "Which Yellow Lotus?"

"Your lotus seat." The six once again spoke simultaneously.

Like one person speaking!

"Damn it! My Yellow Lotus! What’s going on, explain clearly!"

The Nine Nether True Monarch jumped up in rage, "Tell me everything! Forget it, damn it, I’ll see for myself!"

He reached out, twisting the six souls together instantly!

The Nine Nether True Monarch’s pupils shrank, absorbing all six souls into his eyes!

After a while, his face turned pale.

"What’s wrong?" Julius Reed inquired.

Surely something bad happened.

"The one who fought with me, injured by you, was the Blood Emperor."

The Nine Nether True Monarch punched the wall, cursing, "That bastard! Outrageous! Before apocalypse came, he entered my shrine, using my method to avoid disaster, even mimicked me leaving a bunch of minions."

"How did he enter? How did he know your method?" Julius Reed was curious.

"I slept with his wife. With her guiding the way, she naturally knew everything about me." The Nine Nether True Monarch said nonchalantly.

"Low." Julius Reed couldn’t help but curse.

"Who doesn’t like married women?" The Nine Nether True Monarch rhetorically asked, "Would you dare say you don’t like them?"

"Liking and doing are two different things." Julius Reed responded sternly.

"His wife is the Nine Provinces King’s sister, before marrying the Blood Emperor, she had been involved with me for who knows how many years." The Nine Nether True Monarch sighed, "This is tough."
