The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

In that instant, the two also regarded Lu Ye as a fellow cultivator from the Nine Netherworld.

Otherwise, how could they know their identities, and even... know about the Nine Nether Empress from ten thousand years ago!
It should be noted that even among the new generation in the Nine Netherworld, there are quite a few who have never heard of the Nine Netherworld Empress's name before.

“If you are also one of us, then you don’t need to scare us. We all share the same goal,” said the ninth-level mortal.

Knowing so much information, this person at the ninth level of the Mingfan Realm naturally regarded Lu Ye as someone who also came from the Nine Netherworld.

However, since they weren't from their own spiritual realm, their interdimensional teleportation array was more intact, which is why it was able to send people above the mortal realm over.

Thinking about it that way, it suddenly made sense.

Lu Ye calmly replied, "You don't need to think so much. I'm not with you."

"On the contrary, you could say... I'm on the opposite side of you."

Upon hearing this, the two people from the Nine Netherworld who had just relaxed, thinking they were kindred spirits, immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

"Opposing party"... isn't that just a polite way of saying it?

In layman's terms, they're enemies?!

"Senior, you...you must be joking. How could you possibly know so much about our Nine Netherworld Realm? Hehe, you must be joking, right?" The ninth level of the Mortal Realm forced a smile.

Lu Ye didn't look at them anymore, but instead gazed into the void and said calmly.

"You don't need to be afraid. It's actually very simple. I can give you two choices."

The man at the ninth level of the mortal realm mustered his courage and asked, "Senior, what is your choice? Tell us. If it can be done, we two will not refuse."

If they can't do it, they'll have to think about it.

"Join where you're supposed to be, or... die."

Lu Ye spoke indifferently, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, but it immediately made the pupils of the two mortals who had just been somewhat arrogant shrink.

The two instinctively wanted to run away, but they also had a vague feeling that if they ran away, they would really be doomed!
Therefore, the two dared not make any rash moves. They wiped their sweat and said with some difficulty, "Senior, what do you mean? We don't understand."

"It's very simple. You were sent to find the Nine Nether Empress, and I am one of the Nine Nether Empress's people." Lu Ye said with a half-smile, "So, do you understand now?"

Upon hearing this, their minds went blank for a moment, and they almost cried out in surprise.

Nine...Nine Netherworld Empress's people?!

In an instant, the two realized that the man was not lying; since he had said that, if they tried to resist…

His only downfall was likely here.

After all, having revealed such terrifying news, there was no possibility that they could leave unscathed.

He glanced around instinctively, and although he felt a sense of fear, a thought involuntarily popped into his head...

The scenery is quite nice... This place seems like a good place to bury someone.

"You...you want us to betray the Domain Lord?!" After a moment, the ninth-level mortal suppressed the strange thought in his mind.

"It's not exactly betrayal. You are all from the Nine Netherworld, and the Nine Netherworld Empress is the ruler of your world. Do you see any problem with that?" Lu Ye said calmly.

After listening, the two subconsciously shook their heads: "No problem."

Under normal circumstances, that would indeed be the case; they are all citizens of the Nine Netherworld. "But now, you have actually gone astray. As people of the Nine Netherworld, you want to harm the Nine Netherworld Empress..." Lu Ye's eyes instantly turned cold.

"If you don't want to die, I can give you a chance to redeem yourselves. From now on, turn over a new leaf, wait for the right opportunity, and follow the Nine Nether Empress to fight your way back to the Nine Nether Realm!"

"At that time, you will no longer be traitors and your entire family will not be exterminated by the Empress. On the contrary, you will be people who have made contributions."

Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly widened their eyes, feeling their breathing become much heavier.

To become the follower of the Nine Netherworld Empress?!
That way, you won't have to risk having your entire family executed...

It sounded somewhat tempting. After all, they could sense how terrifying the Nine Nether Empress was back then, even from just hearing a few words about her.

He is far superior to other current domain lords.

If one could truly follow the Nine Nether Empress and the orthodox lineage of the Nine Nether Realm, it might be a tremendous opportunity.

"Senior, can we really follow Empress Jiuyou?" After a moment, the ninth-level mortal asked cautiously.

If given the chance to be a good person, who wouldn't want to be one?

“Yes, I can trust you this once.” Lu Ye said calmly, “From now on, you will obey her orders. When the time is right, I will let you see the real Empress of the Nine Netherworlds.”

As he spoke, Lu Ye pointed to You Luo, who was dressed in a black robe, standing next to him.

Then, Youluo was asked to bring out the same poison as before.

"What is this? I'm sure you know, but rest assured, if you have no ulterior motives afterward, I will permanently remove it for you."

The two were not particularly surprised by this, after all, they surrendered so readily, and without any constraints, others would certainly not feel at ease.

Even if they were poisoned, Lu Ye wouldn't let them see Jiang Qingge so easily.

Let her stay with Youluo for now, observe her for a while, and then decide on the next step once you're sure there are no problems.

"Alright, go back to the city you just left in and find the Youluo Sect. Tell them that the sect leader sent you, and someone will take care of you."

After watching the two take the pills, the black-robed Youluo spoke.

She had some things to discuss with her husband, so she didn't bother to send the two of them back.

"Yes."

The two exchanged a glance, gave each other a wry smile, and then left.

They never expected that their identities would change so drastically in less than half a day after arriving from the Nine Netherworld.

Now, even if we return to the Spirit Realm, it will be a dead end. Why not just follow the legendary Nine Nether Empress?
There might still be a way out.

Seeing the two leave, Youluo took off the black robe and mask from her head.

"How did you manage to persuade them? I just gave them a choice, and they didn't seem to be going to pay any attention to me."

Youluo glanced in the direction the two had left, then looked at Lu Ye.

She thought she had said something similar, so why did they almost fight after she finished speaking, but after Lu Ye finished speaking, they even took poison?
In that instant, Youluo felt... her brain wasn't quite up to the task. (End of Chapter)
