Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 158 The Power of the Nine Netherworlds, Bloodline Backlash!
"Nine Netherworlds?!"

"Whoa?! A female ghost crawled out of my body?!"

"A monarch-level ghost body?!"

Mu Ningxue instantly recognized the Nine Nether Queen who emerged from Eileen's body.

Eileen was quite surprised at when Jiuyou Hou had entered her body.

Asharuya, on the other hand, was more concerned with the existence of the Nine Netherworld Queen herself.

With intelligence indistinguishable from humans, a clear physique, and a powerful aura, it is by no means the strongest among monarchs.

Hoo~! (Big Sister!)

When the Hunting Ryu saw Jiuyou appear, it also let out a small roar.

This is their leader, and she's incredibly strong.

"The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds? The Eight Kings of the Ancient Capital? So that intelligence was true. As expected of an adult's child, you can even abduct the Eight Kings of the Dead. But today, no matter what, you cannot stop me."

The mysterious woman was initially shocked upon seeing Jiuyou, but then she understood that all potentially true information had already been collected and sent to the various dukes and bishops.

As a bishop of the "Mysterious Wood" lineage directly descended from Lord Mu, she was naturally aware of Lin Ling's possible background and would therefore be prepared.

As for Jiuyou, one of the Eight Dead Sovereigns, she possesses a soul-protecting wood personally bestowed by Lord Mu, which will prevent her soul from being harmed by a monarch-level soul attack for a short period of time, enough for her to complete the mission.

"You're quite confident. If your possession is merely a small section of the Soul-Protecting Wood on your soul, then your death is imminent," Queen Jiuyou said calmly.

"You've seen right through my soul?!"

This time, Bishop Guimu was finally moved. The Nine Netherworld Queen's strength might be even greater than the intelligence estimated. Could it be that she is about to reach the level of an emperor?!

In that case, the plan might change, and we'll have to contact Lord Mu!
"You can't leave now."

Seeing that the Bishop of the Ghostwood was about to retreat, Jiuyou grabbed at the air in his direction, and a gray, illusory heart appeared in her hand, beating continuously.

"My heart... no... the heart of my soul."

Bishop Guimu felt a sudden chill throughout his body, as if his soul had left his body, but he quickly returned to normal.

She looked at the beating heart in Jiuyouhou's hand, which echoed the beating heart inside her body, and she really felt as if Jiuyouhou was holding her heart.

The Soul-Protecting Wood was completely useless.
It's not that it's ineffective, but rather that it has taken effect, yet it's completely useless.
Above the bishop's soul, the piece of protective wood, about the size of a fingernail, had dimmed and shattered.

The Nine Netherworld Queen's previously extremely powerful soul force directly broke through the Soul-Protecting Wood's defenses and struck her soul.

"So that's how it is. I was also one of the sacrifices."

Bishop Guimu finally sensed the faint crimson magic array on the Soul-Protecting Wood. Thinking of the blood array below the Dragon Nest, she realized that Lord Mu had never truly regarded her as a companion.

Click~!

The next second, Jiuyou Hou crushed the soul heart without hesitation. In an instant, the Ghostwood Bishop's body trembled, as if the puppet strings that were pulling his body had suddenly snapped.

Before the life-giving light in her eyes completely faded, she looked towards the azure sky.

Finally, I can go and be with them.
"Hopefully, the world will eventually be cleansed."

pat.

The bishop's body fell from the high platform, landing right in front of the crowd.

They saw it.

They saw the relief on Bishop Guimu's face and heard her dying words.

A chill ran through them. The Black Church felt very different from the Black Church, unlike the pure evil that was solely focused on destruction and slaughter.

The people in the Black Church seem to have joined voluntarily, dedicating themselves to some purpose.

Even if they gradually lose themselves in the process, they still don't forget their original intentions.

This kind of cohesion is terrifying, completely different from the threat level of the Black Papacy, where the seven cardinals are each in their own camp, a disorganized mess.

After floating to the corpse of the Ghostwood Bishop, Jiuyou placed her hand on it.

"Just as I suspected, all the blood is gone. That ominous aura on the Soul-Protecting Wood... was it indeed the Turbidity-Clearing Ten-Formation?"

She had just checked the body and found that there wasn't a single drop of blood in the recently deceased corpse, which was clearly abnormal.

Considering the blood array aura she sensed when she broke through the Soul-Protecting Wood, her complexion wasn't very good either.

The Turbidity-Cleansing Blood Array was an absolute forbidden array in her era, capable of breaking all seals, but at the cost of fresh blood, with the required amount fluctuating depending on the strength of the seal.

But she should have personally destroyed the final copy and the original records of this forbidden blood array long ago, so how could it reappear in this era?

"Mu Ningxue, is this lady also on our side?"

Upon seeing Jiuyou, Eileen casually pinched one of the overpowered beings, causing him to die instantly.

This mysterious and terrifying method was quite impactful, especially since the other party emerged from her body.

“Yes, Sister Jiuyou is Brother Lin Ling’s contracted partner, it must be Brother Lin Ling’s arrangement,” Mu Ningxue said.

"Lin Ling had long anticipated that the seal on the Illusionary Dream Eye would likely require the bloodline power of the Victoria family to help break it, especially the seal on the Sword in the Stone."

After drifting back to the front of Eileen and the others, seeing the surprise in Eileen's eyes, she knew that Lin Ling's guess was pretty accurate.

"So, ever since we left Water City, I've been hiding inside you to prevent a sneak attack like the one we just had. Clearly, Lin Ling's concerns were valid."

“The situation has changed. Since you are their target, we can’t let you go to their doorstep. We need to contact the local authorities in England. I have already gathered information about the situation here.”

After Jiuyou shook her phone, the three women were somewhat bewildered by her gesture.

"Lin Ling said that the more people involved in this mess, the better. The Victoria family already has close ties with the authorities, so we have to involve them. Asha'ruya, Mu Ningxue, you might need to take a little risk."

"Brother." A low murmur, indistinguishable as male or female, came from the dragon's mouth.

A lion's body made of rock, a dragon's body carved from rotten wood.

The bizarre, twisted monster before us is the fusion of twins.

It's hard to imagine what forbidden secret techniques Mu Wangying and her companion used to transform their child into this state.

Completely devoid of human form, even their minds are twisted.

but why?
The aura of the fused twins wasn't particularly strong; defeating him was absolutely impossible.

Based on his encounters with Mu Wangying, she would never do anything pointless.

"Disobedient older brother needs to be punished."

The twins kept repeating this sentence, and then the withered wooden dragon's arms suddenly pierced into the wooden dragon's chest, directly penetrating it.

Just as Lin Ling was wondering why the twins had suddenly become so suicidal, a piercing pain suddenly surged up.

He looked down and saw a bloody hole in his chest that was expanding rapidly until it became a huge hole that ran through his entire chest!
"A bloodline curse?!"

　If I write in detail, it will become very long. Based on past experience, not many people like to read long original articles, so it's really a problem.
