Chapter 627 Who's so bold?
"A way out?" Qin Hanyue thought she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He let out a short, mocking laugh. "The mortal realm?"
Her gaze was filled with hatred as she stared straight at the towering statue of the Lord of the Underworld.
She refused to admit defeat or give up.
Why should Qin Youyou be the Lord of the Underworld, while I have to abandon everything I have and become an ant again?
"You want me to take your pittance of gold coins, slink away to the cycle of reincarnation, lose all my memories, and be reborn as an ignorant and incompetent mediocre person? Dream on!"
"Qin Jun'an, remember this: I, Qin Hanyue, now work under King Siyuan Qin. My Netherworld Power has been cultivated to the third level, and I will one day stand at the pinnacle of power in this Netherworld City!"
"To return to the mortal realm, only to be crushed into the mud by the world, and then return to the underworld in a sorry state to continue saving money for the next cycle of reincarnation? You want me to give up everything I have now? No way!"
"Look here!" She pointed to the solemn yet turbulent underworld city around her. "The Lord of the Underworld has returned, eight kings respectfully welcome him, and all souls bow their heads! This is the center of power!"
She whirled her head, her sinister gaze locking onto the dumbfounded Qin Jun'an, and spoke each word with unwavering resolve:
"I will seize greater power! I will possess the power to influence the Netherworld! Given the chance... I will become someone who can rival her, or even... replace her! The mere Cycle of Reincarnation? It's not even worth a second glance!"
That cold yet ambitious declaration echoed at the crossroads where the noise had subsided.
Qin Jun'an stared blankly at his sister, who had never changed, for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Qin Hanyue sneered at Qin Jun'an, "If you want to reincarnate, leave now. I'll give you all my gold coins, then you can leave!"
She took a money pouch from her waist and threw it at Qin Jun'an's face. Without looking at him again, she resolutely disappeared from the crossroads.
Qin Jun'an's soul swayed in the wind. He hesitated to pick up the money bag and gold coins that had fallen to the ground. Instead, he stared at the direction in which his sister's figure had disappeared, remaining motionless for a long time.
Qin Hanyue walked a long way without looking back.
With a resolute smile, she headed towards the Hengye Qin King's Palace.
She was going there to welcome Si Yuan Qin Wang, because only Si Yuan Qin Wang could protect her, Qin Hanyue.

Above the vast underworld city, the figures of the eight Qin kings streaked across the sky like shooting stars.
The closer they got to the city gate, the more excited they became, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Their faces, which were originally calm or serious, were now filled with trepidation.
They slowed down a hundred feet from the city gate and hovered in mid-air in perfect unison.
No one dared to overstep the mark even slightly, let alone land directly on the city wall.
That is the domain of the Lord of the Underworld.
The eight Kings of Qin, Yama, pressed their right hands, burning with ghostly green soul flames, against their cold hearts.
This is the highest form of audience in the underworld, symbolizing the unreserved devotion to one's lord.
"Your subordinates, Ignite the Evil, Guard the Soul, Cleanse the Dust, Calm the Heart, Weave Emotions, Nourish the Spirit, Mirror the Clear, and Cross the River... We are late in welcoming you, and we pay our respects to the Lord of the Underworld!"
The sound that resounded throughout the underworld echoed in the dark red sky.
Qin Youyou was almost petrified.
So, she followed her brother Qin Jiyu's consciousness into the underworld? And she was actually the ruler of the underworld?
Recalling everything she saw in the murals, and combining it with the fragments of memories that had resurfaced in her mind, after reasonable deduction, it seemed that this really wasn't a dream. She, Qin Youyou, was the founder of the Path of Reincarnation!
That is, the Lord of the Underworld!
As the creator god, Qin Youyou was a little surprised to have another identity as the lord of the underworld, but she quickly adapted.
She looked up and her gaze fell on the eight figures suspended in mid-air.
Each of them exuded an aura as vast as an abyss, clearly indicating that they were all peerless powerhouses who wielded authority over the underworld.
Facing these eight powerful Qin kings who bowed down in submission, Qin Youyou did not feel uncomfortable. She thought to herself, "Since they are mine, I will accept them without hesitation."
She put her hands behind her back and nodded in a serious manner: "No need for formalities."
How do you act cool in unfamiliar situations?
The answer is simple: speak less.
The simple phrase "No need for formalities" was enough to make the eight Qin kings tremble with excitement, almost causing them to have an epileptic seizure.
It wasn't a breach of etiquette, but a soul storm brought on by ecstasy and affirmation!
It is Him!
It really was Him!
Although the voice sounded a little immature, the indifferent, condescending tone... was definitely not wrong!
The King of Qin forcibly suppressed the sob that was about to escape his lips, his hands pressed tightly against his chest, his knuckles turning white with tension.
When King Qin crossed the river, he buried his head deep, not daring to look directly at the figure before him.
A blurry fragment of memory suddenly flashed through Qin Youyou's mind.
Her gaze swept over the eight solemn figures in the air, a thought struck her, and her tone carried a natural air of authority:
"Are two of the Ten Kings of Hell still missing?"
These words were like invisible ice, instantly causing the soul flames surrounding the eight Qin kings to tremble violently!
A tremendous sense of fear gripped them.
Damn it! I was so excited about the return of the Lord of the Underworld that I almost forgot that the other two were still in dire straits!
Ran Nie suddenly took a step forward, knelt on one knee, buried his head deep in his chest, and said in a frantic voice:
"My lord, please forgive us! It is our dereliction of duty! Today, a powerful enemy has invaded our Underworld City, and Siyuan and Hengye... are still fighting to the death! The Underworld City is facing an unprecedented catastrophe!"
The Qin King, standing nearby, eagerly added:
"Your esteemed Lord of the Underworld! Your return is perfectly timed! The situation is extremely critical; the entire Underworld City is on the verge of collapse! We beseech you, my Lord, to descend with divine power and save the millions of lives in the Underworld City from this dire situation!"
"A powerful enemy has invaded?!" Qin Youyou's pupils suddenly contracted.
Who is it? Could it be StarClan again?
"This is outrageous!!!"
It wasn't surprise, it wasn't confusion, it was utter, complete, and utterly explosive anger.
This is her territory! Her rule!
That was the palace master she personally appointed! A high-ranking official to whom she granted authority!
She had barely set foot on her territory, and hadn't even had a chance to get a good look at this vast "home," when someone dared to so brutally bully her people right under her nose and even beat up her palace master.
This was not only an invasion, but also a resounding slap in the face of her, the Lord of the Underworld.
She absolutely could not let that so-called "powerful enemy" get away with it!
boom!
A terrifying pressure emanated from her and spread outwards.
An invisible wave of energy swept outwards from the city gate in all directions!
The dark city bricks creaked under the weight, and all the souls within a thousand feet, regardless of their strength, were pressed down on the spot by this divine pressure that appeared out of nowhere.
Like ants facing the collapse of the vast sky, they are powerless to resist and tremble in fear.
The eight Qin Kings and Yama Kings hovering in the air were the first to be affected.
The overwhelming pressure, so immense it threatened to shatter their souls, caused the soul flames surrounding them to dissipate with a deafening roar.
Despite their formidable strength, they could no longer maintain their levitation under the divine might. They all let out a muffled groan as their bodies involuntarily plummeted downwards, crashing heavily to the ground.
Their faces were deathly pale, but their gazes toward that figure were filled with awe and fervor!
As expected of the Lord of the Underworld!
This is the supreme will that controls the Netherworld!
Qin Youyou flew past them like lightning, and two cold words pierced their ears: "Give directions."
She'd like to see who dares to cause trouble in her underworld city!
