Chapter 71 The Attack
Red Lotus Space.
A majestic voice emanated from the center of the lotus.
"Master, you should know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"
The Nian Master retorted without fear.
"I know my limits when I do things. Master Ming, the failure of this mission is not my fault. I want to compensate you."
The strategy of a chanting master to delay time is to turn the tables and engage in unreasonable and sophistry.
However, to Nian Shi's surprise, no one objected to her unreasonable request, and even the Underworld Master agreed after a moment of contemplation.
"Okay, but you must guarantee your loyalty to Netherfire. I will arrange to rescue you and give you sufficient compensation."
Just as the teacher was puzzled, Xia Xue's voice rang in her heart.
"You play an important role in the Netherfire, seemingly an important part of some ritual. They won't give you up easily; instead, they'll try to appease you."
Upon hearing this, the Nian Master became even more emboldened.
"Hmph, do you know how much I've suffered because of your mistakes? No way, I'll make you pay for it right now."
This time, finally someone couldn't stand it anymore.
The Gu Master chuckled.
"Master Nian, are you addicted to faking accidents? I hate you disrespectful old folks the most."
The paper craftsman chimed in with a couple of words of agreement.
"Master, that's enough. We're already showing you enough respect by being willing to rescue you. We didn't even punish you for failing your mission, and you still have the nerve to complain? You really think you're something special?"
It's good that they're arguing.
That's exactly the effect Youyou wanted.
"Hmph, I have nothing left to lose anyway. If you don't compensate me, I'll expose all of you."
The Gu Master laughed in anger.
"What an ungrateful wretch! He's already biting back. What, isn't he afraid of the Netherfire now?"
Youyou then remembered that she had just been burned by the Netherfire.
However, she reacted quickly and immediately came up with a solution.
"It was because I was burned by the Netherfire that I truly understood that everything else is illusory, only what I have in my hands is real. I want compensation, otherwise, we might as well perish together."
This space is entirely controlled by Boss Xia Xue.
You can't even make me burn with ghost fire.
Let alone kill me.
Youyou is aware of this, which is why she is so fearless.
He had a fearless and reckless attitude, as if he was willing to risk everything.
The paper craftsman frowned and said, "To perish together? You? You've only just arrived at Netherfire. What do you know? Do you know our identities? Do you know the extent of Netherfire's influence? Do you know the organizational structure of Netherfire? Do you know the foundation of Netherfire? You know nothing. What makes you think you can perish with us?"
The Beast Master shook his head and advised, "Mind Master, that's enough. If you keep making a scene, you won't get anything."
With an arrogant gaze, Youyou slowly surveyed the surroundings, stalling for time before finally speaking: "Anyway, I've lost everything, even my life is about to end. What wouldn't I dare to do? As for what you're talking about, hehe, I actually know a little bit about it. Hmph, you wouldn't think that I entered the Netherfire and did nothing, just sitting around doing nothing, would you?"
Youyou remembered that Xia Xue's file contained records of her expertise in divination.
So after Youyou finished speaking, she called out to Xia Xue in her heart, "Boss Xia Xue, help me! Help me get some of their secrets so I can buy more time!"
Xia Xue chuckled and sent her some information.
Youyou was immediately overjoyed and showered him with flattery as if it were free.
"As expected of Boss Xia Xue, she's amazing. In such a short time, she's uncovered so many secrets about the Netherfire. She's truly incredible. Boss Xia Xue, you're the best!"
Xia Xue ignored Youyou and used her Source Tracing Technique to gather information about the remaining eleven people as quickly as possible.
The Beast Master glanced at the Mind Master in surprise.
When it comes to understanding the Mind Master, besides the Underworld Master, he is the best.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Master Nian, you might fool others with what you're saying, but don't fool yourself."
The others had initially thought that the Nian Master truly possessed crucial information about the Netherfire, and they all fell silent, even withdrawing their mocking gazes. Little did they know that the Nian Master had been deceiving them.
Immediately, anger at being tricked surged into their hearts, and they began to verbally attack the Nian Master.
The Gu Master chuckled and said, "You really startled me just now. It turns out it was all a lie."
The paper craftsman looked at the chant master with pity and shook his head, saying, "Your trickery is too poor. It was exposed so easily. Chan master, you're so old, you've wasted your life."
Youyou remained silent, simply listening to the taunts of the eleven people. When they had finished speaking, Youyou slowly said, "Whether I'm lying or not, you know the truth yourselves."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the Gu Master.
"Is it Liu Jinfeng?!"
The Gu Master's eyes widened in horror as he stared at the Nian Master.
"How...how do you know my real name?"
The old, hoarse voice seemed to become magical and unpredictable, eerie and majestic at this moment.
What do you think?
After waiting for a while, Youyou turned to look at the paper craftsman.
"How's business at your paper craft shop lately? I heard a little girl with even better skills moved in across the street and has taken all your business away. I wonder if you've thought of a way to deal with it?"
The paper craftsman glanced at Youyou in alarm, and when he realized that Youyou was staring at him, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Youyou's gaze.
Youyou turned her head to look at the beast master.
"Oh, my guide, is your private zoo running into trouble? Should I use my connections to help you out? Otherwise, what if it has to close down?"
The Beast Master looked at the Mind Master with a blank expression, not understanding how the Mind Master, that paralyzed, immobile girl obsessed with anime and manga, could know this after only being forced to join the Netherfire for a few days.
How did she do it?
Just as Youyou was about to call out names one by one, the voice from the center of the lotus flower rang out again.
"Enough, Nen Master. You have proven that you do indeed possess crucial information about our Netherfire. Netherfire is willing to compensate you."
She glanced around with a sigh, then regretfully looked away and turned to look at the center of the red lotus.
"Master of the Underworld, I know you're here, but you're just hiding. Please show yourself. Otherwise, I feel empty when I can't see you, as if I'm talking to thin air."
After a long silence, a black figure slowly emerged from the center of the lotus.
Looking at the other person's appearance, Youyou clicked her tongue and said regretfully, "What a pity, it's too blurry, it doesn't feel real."
The necromancer could no longer contain himself and roared, "Mind Master, that's enough! State your conditions now!"
Just as Youyou was about to make an outrageous demand, Xia Xue's weary voice echoed in her heart.
"alright."
Youyou's eyes lit up.
She glanced at the group of twelve with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person, and chuckled softly.
"What I want is very simple: you all, go to hell!"
Before Youyou finished speaking, a ball of black and red flames instantly surged from the bodies of the twelve people other than Youyou.
"Damn it, how could a Nen Master possibly control the Crimson Lotus Space?"
"Master of the Underworld, quickly extinguish these underworld fires, or we'll all be burned to death."
The shaman exclaimed in terror, "I... I can't control it either!"
"We can't leave the Crimson Lotus Space."
"It's over, we're all going to die here."
"Damn you, Nen Master, you'll die a horrible death!"
The soft voice returned to its original tone, a clear and lovely girl's voice, as she laughed and said, "Sigh, who told you to mess with the wrong people? You might as well just die, hehe."
Youyou really likes this feeling of showing off.
Even if it's just borrowing someone else's power, it's still incredibly satisfying.
The necromancer stared intently at the chant master: "I won't let you get away with this."
After saying that, his figure instantly turned to ashes and disappeared into the space.
As the master of the underworld turned to ashes, it was as if a switch had been flipped.
The Beast Master, the Gu Master, and the Paper Master all turned to ashes.
The other eight didn't last long either, turning to ashes and disappearing into the Crimson Lotus Space.
Youyou waved her fist and cheered.
"Yes! Capture them all!"
