Chapter 1997: Ninth Underworld Clan’s Chan Jiu

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Ninth Underworld Clan?

Could it be that the attack just now was dispelled from the Ninth Underworld Clan?

They couldn’t see anyone and only heard voices, but they casually and easily dispelled an attack of such force. Was the Ninth Underworld Clan really so powerful?

There was activity on the top of the snow mountain, and everyone lifted their heads to look. They saw a group of people dressed in ink-black robes on the summit. These people surveyed everyone with unconcealed arrogance in their eyes.

“Ninth Underworld Clan!”

To be able to appear here and to stay there so leisurely meant that they could only be the Ninth Underworld Clan.

Those who were younger, did not see the Ninth Underworld Clan before. However, the older ones definitely knew them. With their bloodline that would exude pressure and their domineering aura, the Ninth Underworld Clan was truly the real ruler of the Ghost Realm!

When Medicine Elder saw them, his heavily injured body could take it no longer as he knelt to the ground. He was that devout.

Tears of joy.

He just knew that they were still here. He just had to guard this place for them!

“Medicine Elder, it’s been tough on you!” The man at the very front waved his hand, as Medicine Elder flew up from where he originally was and landed straight on the snow mountain peak.

They could actually do that!

Disregarding space and gravity. They could just bring someone up just like that!

Those who were here, even those who had never before seen the Ninth Underworld Clan, had also climbed the snow mountains here before. They knew what kind of environment this was. Just this single move filled them with respect for the Ninth Underworld Clan!

Such powerful people!

Chan Jiu didn’t understand why the looks in their eyes changed like that. He looked at Sima You Yue and said, “Were you the one who released that bout of energy just now? Who are you, what is your name? Whose line do you come from?”

Sima You Yue saw the cold look in his eyes and let go of Wu Lingyu’s hand. She walked forwards by two steps and closed her eyes as she condensed the underworld energy in her body.

The black lotus behind her burst forth with golden light that penetrated her clothes, surrounding her completely with a golden light. She looked incomparably holy.

When the Ninth Underworld Clansmen saw the golden light shining behind her, their originally icy gazes changed when they looked at her.

“This is… the Golden Black Lotus!”

Only those from the pureset bloodlines could release such a dazzling golden light!

“Her underworld energy!” Chan Jiu suddenly shouted uncontrollably as he flew down the snow mountain and landed beside Sima You Yue. He grabbed her hand and said, “Where did your underworld energy come from?!”

“Are you sure that you want me to say it here?” Sima You Yue asked as she withdrew her underworld energy.

Chan Jiu pursed his lips as he stared at Sima You Yue, attempting to see through something. However, his gaze was level, and he didn’t look down at all.

“Walk.” He shackled her hands and pulled her towards the mountain.

“These people want to kill me!” Sima You Yue did not move as she said while pointing to those people.

“Scram-”

Chan Jiu yelled at those people and simultaneously released a wave of energy, sending those completely unsuspecting people flying.

Sima You Yue’s eyes grew large, this person was too powerful! Even though the others were unprepared, they were Pinnacle-ranked experts who were even half a step into the Emperor’s realm. They were defeated so easily?

“Our bloodline naturally suppresses them.” Chan Jiu explained. At the same time, he disdained her for not knowing how to utilise the power of their bloodline.

“These are my friends.” Sima You Yue pointed at Wu Lingyu, Huan and the others. She saw that Chan Jiu did not want to relent, and said, “I will give you an explanation, but you have to ensure their safety.”

“You dare to negotiate terms with the Ninth Underworld Clan? Do you think that you are one of us just because you possess the bloodline of the Ninth Underworld Clan?” Chan Jiu’s tone was cold, a natural coldness.

“Because I have a trump card.” Sima You Yue siad.

Chan Jiu’s eyes narrowed, “If they are able to reach the summit, it would not be possible even if there were more of them.”

“Then what about these people?” She pointed at those who were hunting her down.

Chan Jiu merely glanced at them, then let them feel his pressure, “Are you not leaving yet? Why don’t you stay here forever, then!”

The younger ones were the first to think about retreating. This person was too powerful. With him protecting Sima You Yue, they would not have any chance of winning today.

However, those old guys were reluctant to leave. The draw of the Pure Snow Lotus was too great. Without it, they would never have the chance to advance to the rank of Emperor.

However, since the Ninth Underworld Clan was a real existence and was even so valiant, if they killed them, they would probably be exterminated.

Sima You Yue watched as their expressions kept changing and said, “I’ve already told you that I don’t have the Pure Snow Lotus. If you don’t believe me, you can stay guard here. Before I go down the mountain, you can go and check it out to see whether or not outsiders have left. General Xiao He and his subordinate, Commander Xu Yu from the Soul Region probably haven’t even left the Triangle District.”

“Exactly. Anyway, if You Yue is on the mountain, she won’t be coming down for quite some time. You guys can take the time to go and check it out.” Fu Xi said, ‘If it isn’t there, then you guys can just wait for her here.”

“Still not moving?” Chan Jiu glanced at them from the corner or his eyes, incomparably arrogant.

They hesitated for a moment before they brought their people down. They only left a few people behind to keep a watch on the situation in the event Sima You Yue escaped from this place.

Sima You Yue saw that these people had left and gave a sigh of relief. She hoped that they would check Xu Yu. This way, she wouldn’t need to be blamed unnecessarily anymore.

“Let’s go.” Chan Jiu grabbed her wrist, but Wu Lingyu had gone to grab him. At this point the two were locked in confrontation.

“I’ll go with them from here.” Sima You Yue said, “Why don’t you bring them back together?”

“Outsiders have to walk up on their own.” He meant that there was no way to be flexible about this.

“Then you can wait for me at the peak. I’ll be up shortly.” Sima You Yue said.

“Woman, don’t take a mile when I’ve given an inch!” Chan Jiu was enraged, and everyone could feel the pressure.

“They are my friends. I want to be with them. If you aren’t willing to wait up there, then you can walk with us.” Sima You Yue said, “You’d better not drag the time. The faster we walk, the faster we can head upstairs.”

In the end, Chan Jiu still let go of her hand. He looked at the passage in midair and said, “If those from the Underworld do not wish to stir up any incident, it is better not to come out.”

After saying this, he returned to the peak of the snow mountain with a flash.

Huan took the little ball back, and the portal in midair closed quickly. Those who had already reached here had no choice but to return. She just never thought that this man would be able to tell that this was hiding people from the Underworld.

“Let’s go.” Sima You Yue walked towards the snow mountain.

“Actually, you don’t have to do this.” Yan Ya said.

“Their eyes are too filled with arrogance. If I toss you guys aside like this, I don’t know what will happen.” Sima You Yue was worried about Wu Lingyu, Huan and the others. As for Yan Ya, she just casually brought him along.

“I really didn’t think that the Ninth Underworld Clan would appear for your sake. That person seems to pay a lot of attention to you. You couldn’t be one of the Young Matriarch that they left outside, right?”

“Is there really someone who would treat a Young Matriarch the way they treated me? I just have information that they want to know, that’s all.” Sima You Yue thought of the Ancestor from Dragon Reflection Mountain and thought of her own grandmother.. She wondered what that place would be like.
