The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 851 - 357: Facing Lord Yama

Even though he had agreed to send Lin Yun to the Netherworld Realm, Earth Scripture was still very reluctant.

He was not willing to be enslaved by Lin Yun forever. To be enslaved was one thing, but Lin Yun really didn’t give him any respect, everything was forced.

At least try to tempt me somehow, then I’d feel better about working for you!

If it wasn’t for Lin Yun’s fire being too damaging and his fear of it, he would never have compromised!

But now, he had to plan his escape.

Earth Scripture knew very well that if Lin Yun were to live, he would be forever confined within Lin Yun’s body; if Lin Yun were to die, he would definitely burn him before dying.

Such a future really left no way out.

If he didn’t resist now, then when?

However, this wasn’t the right place. Earth Scripture quickly came up with a strategy.

First, he would bring Lin Yun to the Netherworld Realm, accompany him there, and when they arrived, he would seize the chance to escape from Lin Yun, then break through space to another world. Once his cultivation reached a level comparable to the Innate Gods or at least fireproof, he would come back for revenge.

"Stand together, I will take you to the Netherworld."

Pretending not to know that Lin Yun wanted him to transport their souls, Earth Scripture chose to send their physical bodies as well.

The reason for the request being souls was that a human body acts like an insulator, essentially blocking the mutual attraction between souls. Lin Yun’s previous trip to the Netherworld Realm was with his physical body, and he felt no connection to his Earthly Soul.

He was hoping that this time with the souls going to the Netherworld Realm, he might try and find his Earthly Soul!

As a result, with one move from Earth Scripture, he sent both his and Dongfang Hongyue’s bodies directly to the Netherworld.

Being inside Lin Yun’s body, Earth Scripture naturally went along.

Nearby Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue, a palace gleamed brilliantly.

In such a dim place as the Netherworld Realm, there was surprisingly such a bright palace. Lin Yun grew curious about where they had ended up and took a closer look. He then saw a sign hanging above, written with three characters—

Yama Hall.

This...

Earth Scripture was definitely up to something!

He and Dongfang Hongyue should be considered as stowaways, humans from the Mortal Realm, sneaking into the Netherworld to steal the Earthly Soul, trying to minimize contact with the divine spirits of the Netherworld, but Earth Scripture sent them right outside the strongest divine spirit’s palace.

Wasn’t this like delivering themselves on a platter?

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Lin Yun was ready to ignite and burn Earth Scripture. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

It seemed Earth Scripture had more backbone than he expected.

"How could it be intentional? It’s all coincidences."

Earth Scripture spoke in a dubious tone, making Lin Yun even more convinced it was intentional, but what right did he have?

"Clatter..."

While Lin Yun was still interrogating Earth Scripture, rows of heavily armored soldiers poured in from all directions, surrounding Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue.

This is Yama Hall, where any intruder is treated with the highest respect.

Previously, Yuxuan was in the Netherworld Realm, and it was pretty much the same scenario.

However, at that time, he had killed many minions and then attracted Impermanence, leading to a single KO. During that time, it left a deep impression on Lin Yun, showcasing the gap between divine beings.

Now, the same scene seemed to be repeating, the difference was that Lin Yun hadn’t attempted to break out yet when suddenly the grand doors of Yama Hall swung open and tall figures walked out.

"I wondered why my left eye was twitching today, it turns out we have distinguished guests."

The person walking in the center was a handsome man dressed in magnificent clothes, clearly the biggest boss here by making a central appearance.

It must be Lord Yama.

And beside him, there stood a few expressionless men and women.

Lin Yun thought of several city lords of the Netherworld Realm, probably only those city lords were qualified to stand so close to Lord Yama.

Two mortals VS a bunch of Divine Spirits, how to fight this wave?

Lin Yun saw no chance of winning, but feeling the wooden knot at his chest, Lin Yun wasn’t too panicked.

Qing Nu really despised that statue at that time, but once it was really brought out, it might not be useless.

Lin Yun was not afraid to use Qing Nu’s reputation to avoid the deadly ordeal. If all else fails, he can go back and be laughed at by Qing Nu, which is not a big deal.

Anyway, during this period, he had no face left in front of Qing Nu.

But no matter, a true man can bend and stretch. After some time, letting Qing Nu know what it means to be able to bend and stretch, then today’s loss of face will no longer matter.

"Your highness flatters us too much, we do not deserve the title of honored guests, just happened to pass by here, please let us go on our way."

Lin Yun spoke neither humbly nor haughtily, but Lord Yama just smiled slightly.

"You need not be so guarded against me, of course, I will not trouble you. However, since you’ve come, why not enter the hall and talk?"

Lord Yama gestured with one hand towards the full Yama Hall, indicating that Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue could go in for a visit.

Being invited to Yama Hall for a visit wasn’t exactly polite wording, but the other party did not show any hostility at that moment. Although thousands of ghosts and soldiers surrounded the place, it might just be their instinctual daily precaution.

In that case...

"Then we’ll impose."

"Please."

Lin Yun took Dongfang Hongyue’s hand, calmly following Lord Yama’s direction into Yama Hall.

Yama Hall was bright and spacious, walking inside the great hall and looking up at the roof, there was a kind of distance feeling like looking up at the starry sky.

Such a towering structure, yet there were no load-bearing pillars inside, indicating that this huge palace was made with a special material and some special techniques.

Undoubtedly, Lord Yama went directly to the highest main seat, while Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue stood in front of the hall, at least hundreds of feet below.

The others who followed also sat in slightly higher seats, their seats also had names written like Wangxiang, Wugui...

A few seats were empty, with names like Wugui, Impermanence, Meng Po, Minotaur...

These gods, Lin Yun had all seen them before, and three of them were killed by Lin Yun.

Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue had no seats, he held Dongfang Hongyue’s hand, looking up at each Divine Spirit.

It was at this moment that Lin Yun suddenly realized the reason behind the ghostly construction of Yama Hall.

This Lord Yama, he likes others to look up to him.

Looking down on others from a high place, there might be a sense of dominance in terms of status!

Divine Spirits indeed prefer high places, but this was just too exaggerated, even Tai Bai that Lin Yun had seen in the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom was not this tall!

"Please sit."

Lord Yama seemed quite polite, he lightly said two words, and two chairs appeared behind Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue, but they were in the middle of the great hall, much like ministers from vassal states coming to pay tribute in ancient TV dramas.

"No need to sit, please speak directly, Lord Yama."

Lin Yun sensed malintent and decided to be straightforward.

"Bluntly then, I want the Earth Scripture, you can name your conditions."

Lin Yun then looked up, scrutinizing the high seated Lord Yama.

"You want the Earth Scripture, I can give it to you, but first you need to tell me, who exactly are you?"
