Chapter 296: I Want to Be the Highest Gao Yiyi!
“Hahaha… I finally escaped! The master of the Netherworld Palace is still me in the end!”
Gao Yiyi laughed heartily, free as a bird soaring through the sky, like a fish that has entered the ocean, seemingly no longer bound by any constraints.
After a moment, she finally calmed down from her excitement.
“It’s a pity about that kid; he’s probably already been devoured completely. Otherwise, he would have made a decent assistant for me!”
After talking to herself, she quickly returned to normal.
“After all, he’s just a mere human; he should feel honored to contribute to me.”
“Really?”
At that moment, a cold voice sounded behind her, causing her whole body to stiffen.
“How is this possible? You actually came out alive!”
“If you’re not dead, how could I dare to die first?”
Zhou Tong walked forward with a smile, making her heart race.
“I’ve long known you have a kind fate, surely able to turn misfortune into fortune; my guess was indeed correct!”
Gao Yiyi quickly concealed the unease on her face and opened her arms: “Everything is under my control; let’s go suppress those two scum together! When I become the King of Hell, I will appoint you as the Chief Yin Officer!”
“Since you already know so much, can you guess how I will deal with you, the traitor?”
These words instantly changed her complexion dramatically.
“Wait… I was just…”
Before she could finish, Zhou Tong delivered a kick that hit her face!
“Ahhh!!”
This time, Zhou Tong used thirty percent of his strength, smashing Gao Yiyi’s face, sending her flying backward until she crashed into three mountain peaks before stopping!
“You!”
Gao Yiyi covered her face, now mangled, anger rising in her eyes. Before she could curse, Zhou Tong descended from the sky, stepping on her throat!
“You’re so good at calculations, how did you not know that I loathe traitors the most? Remember this for your next life!”
With immense force bearing down on her, Gao Yiyi was gripped by terror, rolling her eyes back, about to pass out.
However, suddenly, a strong power erupted from her body, helping her resist death. It was the Nether Authority protecting its master, knocking Zhou Tong away.
“Humph, you can dodge the first of the month, but not the fifteenth. Today, you will surely pay for your betrayal.”
Zhou Tong said coldly, his killing intent unwavering and merciless.
“Betrayal? What sin could I possibly have, you’re the real joke!”
Suddenly, Gao Yiyi shouted loudly, her expression twisted, her tone hysterical.
“I just want to become stronger, to climb higher; is that a mistake?”
“Why is it that others can do what I cannot? Should I just watch as they grow stronger and come to bully me?”
“I’m just trying to survive; from now on, I will use any means necessary to climb step by step to the top. I want to be the highest Gao Yiyi… I will not let anyone bully me again!”
As her voice fell, she actually burst into tears, seemingly lost in self-pity.
But not long after, Zhou Tong grabbed her hair!
“Are you out of your mind!”
With a whoosh!
Gao Yiyi was enveloped in a sense of weightlessness; Zhou Tong had lifted her up and slammed her down like a heavy object!
“Boom!!”
The ground cracked open, pouring forth yellow spring water, which quickly formed a gully!
“What you said has nothing to do with me! I only know you betrayed me, and that is enough!”
Zhou Tong sneered, knowing that against such a wretch, classical physics could show the best results.
He had tested this fact many times, ensuring it would be effective!
After saying that, he lifted Gao Yiyi and brought her to the yellow spring.
“What… what do you want?”
The other party asked in horror.
“Nothing much. I just want you to recall our first meeting!”
“Don’t… gurgle gurgle…”
Zhou Tong directly shoved her head into the yellow spring, the power of causality eroding her, making her wish for death as she struggled violently!
Half a tea time later, Zhou Tong finally pulled her up, where her face had nearly dissolved but was slowly regenerating under the Nether Authority.
“Let’s do it again…”
“No… please spare me! I know my mistake.”
“When did you realize your mistake?”
This question left her stunned.
“Did you perhaps just figure it out?”
“No, no… I’ve known since the very beginning that I shouldn’t have abandoned you! I am a beast, worse than a beast. Please give me another chance to be human!”
“Ah, so you recognize your mistakes? Then…”
“Don’t… I’m willing to make amends! Once we team up to eliminate the Nether Yin Master and Netherworld Master, I can let you be the acting King of Hell, and I will serve as your assistant. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong seemed to hesitate before setting her down.
“This is indeed feasible; lead the way!”
“Yes, I will take you there right now. Please follow me!”
Gao Yiyi bowed and scraped, the malice in her eyes nearly boiling over.
“Just wait… I’ve already set up in the Netherworld Palace. Once I step inside, everything will be under my control!”
“At that time, whether it’s those two scumbags or you, the presumptuous lunatic, I will make sure you suffer worse than death!”
…
At the center of Hell, in the Netherworld Palace…
“Abomination… I let you alter the Book of Life and Death, and this is how you do it!”
Before her knelt a petite girl, clutching a massive pen, trembling and crying uncontrollably.
In front of her stood two tall figures whose presence cast a heavy shadow over the small girl.
These two were the highest-ranking existences in the Netherworld Palace, the Nether Yin Master and the Netherworld Master, while the girl, named Zhe Mei, was the judge of this realm of hell, in charge of recording the lifespans of all spirits in the Book of Life and Death.
Despite Zhe Mei’s low status, she was the only one capable of altering the Book of Life and Death; thus, only through her could the two men steal lifespans from the mortal realm to enhance their cultivation!
“Stop crying and quickly do as I say. Cut off ninety percent of that human girl named Li Xin Rou’s lifespan! I have urgent use for it!”
The Nether Yin Master coldly ordered, causing Zhe Mei to tremble even more violently.
“No! That’s wrong! I don’t want to violate the laws of Hell any longer, nor do I want to help you profit from it!”
“You’re seeking death!”
“Ah!!”
Zhe Mei screamed as she was kicked away, a mere small judge utterly powerless against a candidate for the King of Hell!
“Killing you, I can select another judge!”
The Nether Yin Master’s face twisted in cruelty as he quickly approached Zhe Mei.
“Stop it!”
At that moment, the doors of the Netherworld Palace were suddenly smashed open.
Zhou Tong and Gao Yiyi walked in, causing the two to change their expressions dramatically.
“How is this possible… You were clearly exiled to…”
“This is what’s called man’s calculations cannot compare to heaven’s; I am back now, and your time of death has come!”
Her eyes burned with malice, swiftly forming hand seals, causing the entire hall to tremble!
“What have you done?”
“To the dying, you will soon find out. This is the backup I left behind, having absorbed enough Nether energy; it can finally be activated!”
She laughed arrogantly, believing victory was in her grasp, not only wanting to deal with these two but also making Zhou Tong pay the price.
“Pfft!!”
Suddenly she trembled, and a cruel blade protruded from her chest— it was the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber!
