Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 87 Nine Infants Make Their Move

"No matter what, you can't escape," Jiang Shaoqing said coldly, already in a fighting stance, ready to deal with Wu Ku's attack at any time.

Wu Ku glanced back and saw Jiu You Hou staring back at him defiantly.

That's a lord of the dead; it's best not to provoke him in the current situation.

Wu Ku's body gradually turned into water, and finally, with a bang, it completely disintegrated.

The process was so fast that Wu Ku disappeared before Jiang Shaoqing could even react.

Jiuyou Hou did realize what was happening, but since he and Jiang Shaoqing were not related, there was no need for him to remind him.

"Damn it." Jiang Shaoqing's expression changed, and he immediately rushed out. He could feel Wu Ku's aura penetrating deeper and deeper into him.

Jiang Shaoqing had expected Wu Ku to attack him, but instead Wu Ku ran away, which was beyond his expectations. His uncle wanted him to stop Wu Ku and not let him get away.

This is the only way to find that cardinal.

Jiang Shaoqing flapped his wings and flew inside, determined to stop Wu Ku no matter what.

……

"Um, after you enter the Nine Netherworlds, where are you going next?" Su Ming asked after hesitating for a moment.

"I'm going back now. There's nothing inside, and the totem power you mentioned doesn't exist either," Jiuyou said, though it seemed she had just come out after taking a stroll inside.

But it lacks the power of totems?

Su Ming frowned, wondering why. Logically, there should be one.

"Are you sure you're not? Could you have seen something wrong? You know, you're a ghost, right? You might be different from us humans. Maybe your perception is different too."

Jiuyou Hou raised an eyebrow and said unhappily, "Why make such a fuss? I said it's not true, and that's it. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. Why would a thousand-year-old demon like me lie to you? I don't need that totem power."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Su Ming gave an apologetic smile.

He actually believed what Jiuyou said, but he didn't quite understand why this was happening. In the illusion, Bifang seemed to have told him where to leave things.

There's no need for a powerful demon to lie to him.

Is it because the location is wrong?

The Helan Mountains are so vast, and the areas that can be considered deep within them are extremely large, so it's normal to miss some places.

Although Su Ming wanted to confirm it himself, Helan Mountain was bound to be turbulent afterward. Someone would appear who was Wu Ku's enemy, and both of them were super-level mages.

Moreover, Jiang Shaoqing's appearance was more like that of a vanguard, and more people would come later, so there was no need for him to stay and get involved.

The most crucial point is that they are too weak. Mid-level mages are nothing in the eyes of super-level mages. They might not even be able to withstand a single bolt of lightning. If they go in, they will most likely die.

Although the power of totems can enhance one's cultivation, which is very tempting, one must be alive to obtain it. What value is there to talk about if one is dead?

"How so?" Su Ming looked at Mu Bai and asked, symbolically.

"Let's go. This is no longer something we can get involved in. It's better to leave as soon as possible, and there will probably be many more hunters coming in from outside," Mu Bai said directly without any hesitation.

He had wanted to leave for a long time. Not only did the power of the totem not exist, but even if it did, he wouldn't go there; it was too dangerous.

"Those, let's leave first." Su Ming jumped down, discussed it with Mu Qianjin and the others, and then prepared to return. Green Brother was a little reluctant, but since everyone had to go back, he couldn't go any further by himself.

I gained nothing from this trip to Helan Mountain; instead, I wasted so much time.

For a long time to come, the Helan Mountains will be frequented by hunters with keen senses of smell, because of that towering phantom.

Mu Qianjin and her companions walked with trepidation, their hearts pounding as they were accompanied by a peerless demon. They were terrified that this demon might attack them at any moment.

Mu Bai is in a slightly better position than them because he is closer to Su Ming. He has learned that Jiu You and Su Ming have a good relationship, so it is highly unlikely that Mu Bai will attack them.

Even so, I can't help but feel nervous. Knowing is one thing, but being afraid is another. After all, this is a great demon of monarch level.

After leaving Jiuyou, she suddenly felt something, said something to Su Ming, and then flew away.

The atmosphere here gradually eased after Jiuyou left.

After flying to the left, Jiuyou saw several ugly monsters below. They were disgusting. They weren't just demons; their true forms were human. He could tell at a glance.

After flying for a while, Jiuyouhou saw a person dressed in red who seemed to be waiting for her.

The Nine Netherworld Queen floated in the air, sizing up the person. He turned around and looked at the Nine Netherworld Queen.

This person introduced himself.

"Nine Infants?" Empress Jiuyou frowned.

"That's right, my name is Jiuying, and I'm here to invite Her Highness Jiuyou to stay for a while," Jiuying said with a smile.

"Oh..." Jiuyou responded. There were quite a few demons and monsters, but they were all servants, with only a few warriors. They were of little use and not worth fearing.

"Do you have a grudge against that Su Ming? You deliberately lured me away and then sent these little things to deal with him." Jiuyou floated down and sat on a rock, ignoring the black beast demon that was eyeing her menacingly.

"There's no grudge, it's just a test to see how much they've grown," Jiuying said. He sent six warriors and several hundred servants to wipe out Su Ming and his group.

However, if they survive, Jiuying won't say anything, he'll just marvel at their strength, but he won't increase the manpower.

The first one is unnecessary; if they run away, they run away, it's no big deal.

The second is losing face; adding people to chase after someone who has already run away only makes one's own incompetence more apparent.

"Isn't Your Highness going to help?" Jiuying asked. He had prepared a grand gift for Jiuyouhou, and if Jiuyouhou were to go back to help, this grand gift would fall down and block her.

Therefore, it's not a question of whether Jiuyouhou wants to help or not, but whether he allows Jiuyouhou to go.

Jiuyou chuckled softly and said, "I'm not his mother, so I have to figure out everything. I didn't take any money. Let him handle this little thing himself. If he dies, it's just because he's not skilled enough."

"Really?" Jiuying asked doubtfully.

"Really." Jiuyou nodded. She had no reason to lie about this, and besides, she sensed the presence of a creature in this place.

That creature is probably Jiuying's backup plan. If she wants to go back, that creature will appear and stop her.

Empress Jiuyou secretly shook her head, finding it laughable.

This Nine-Headed Serpent didn't take her seriously. How could such trash possibly stop the Nine Netherworld Queen's advance? It's laughable.

It's simply that she's too lazy to go back.
