Abandoned manor in Lintang City.

In the basement of the villa, Ninth Seat helped Shen Qingzhu, who was wearing a hospital gown, into the room with a solemn expression.

They were supposed to stay in the hospital for another day, but after only one day, the delirium suddenly told them to come back.

This made the Ninth Seat very uneasy. Had the dreamer discovered something?

The muttering figure standing before the altar heard footsteps and turned around.

He looked at Shen Qingzhu, whose complexion had slightly improved, and stepped forward to ask, "Can you hold on?"

Shen Qingzhu feigned weakness and said in a weak voice, "It's alright, Lord Yiyu. Even if I die, I'm willing."

Upon hearing this, Yiyu smiled with relief.

"It's not that I don't want you to stay in the hospital, but the plan is at a critical stage right now, and I have no choice but to do this just in case."

Shen Qingzhu's eyes flickered with an almost imperceptible light.

Yiyu then looked at the Ninth Seat, frowned, and asked, "The Night Watch didn't notice, did they?"

The Ninth Seat shook his head, "All the hospitalization procedures and travel arrangements were done using a false identity, so please rest assured, Lord Yiyu."

Yiyu nodded, but her expression remained calm, as if she was very worried.

He glanced back at the altar that was absorbing spiritual energy.

At this moment, it's not wise to continue waiting.

Even though the Ninth Seat and Shen Qingzhu made sure to leave a very discreet trail this time, the Night Watchmen are not to be underestimated.

They were discovered, but they didn't know it.

We must speed things up.

As Yiyu slowly reached out, the sky-blue Pearl of the Sea of ​​Essence, which was floating above the altar, seemed to be drawn by some force and slowly fell into Yiyu's palm.

"We can't wait any longer. In the past month and a half, the Pearl of the Sea of ​​Essence has absorbed a lot of mystery and stores a large amount of transformed spiritual energy inside."

"Breaking it will immediately activate the altar and guide the god of the underworld to descend to earth."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu and the Ninth Seat's eyes widened in shock.

They hadn't expected the whispers to be so cautious, planning to open the altar ahead of schedule.

The signal to the night watch team in Lintang City was only sent out this morning, so only three or four hours have passed.

Even if they received it, it would take time to contact the special team.

Can they really make it in time?

Shen Qingzhu and the Ninth Seat originally planned that the altar would not be activated for another two days, which would be more than enough time for the Night Watch to react and send a special team.

And now... disaster has struck!

Shen Qingzhu and the Ninth Seat exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing tightly.

How to do?

There's simply no way to deal with this situation.

The only way is to reveal our identities and fight back against the delirium.

But for Wuliang and Haijing to fight against Klein's delirium is tantamount to suicide.

It won't have any effect whatsoever.

But if we don't stop it, who knows what this altar of the underworld will summon?

What if it's an extremely terrifying mystery, or an Outer God!

Then all the people of Lintang City would be in danger.

Shen Qingzhu clenched his fists, his whole body trembling. This was the first time he had ever felt so helpless!

What should I do?! What should I do?!

"You all step back a bit. The explosion of the [Pearl of the Sea of ​​Essence] will generate a powerful mental shock. Shen Qingzhu, your body hasn't recovered yet, so be careful not to get injured."

Yiyu turned around and gave some instructions. The Ninth Seat, quick-witted, grabbed Shen Qingzhu's shoulder and took a few steps back.

Yiyu nodded slightly, and the [Pearl of the Sea of ​​Essence] in her hand rose from her palm and flew above the altar, with purple nightmare power swirling around its surface.

Gradually, cracks appeared on the surface of the Pearl of the Sea...

Shen Qingzhu's eyes trembled. No! She couldn't let him succeed!

Hopefully, Jiang Ye's words to me will come in handy...

He gritted his teeth and was about to step forward to snatch it when a large hand grabbed Shen Qingzhu's shoulder, and the Ninth Seat rushed forward in one stride.

Shen Qingzhu's eyes went blank for a moment, and she reached out to grab the ninth seat, but still couldn't reach it.

Ding!

Suddenly, a sword's cry rang out in the space, exceptionally piercing, seemingly carrying layers of sonic booms.

The ninth seat, who was halfway there, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Yiyu and Shen Qingzhu were also stunned.

The three of them looked down at the basement ceiling and saw it begin to shake, with dust falling continuously.

next moment.

The dazzling white sword light was blinding, illuminating the originally dark basement.

Boom!

A loud bang was heard, and a long, bottomless sword mark was left on the ground, radiating terrifying sword energy!

The sword mark precisely cleaved the altar of the Underworld God in two...

The blinding white sword light dissipated, and sunlight flooded into the basement, as if a skylight had been opened.

Yiyu, the Ninth Seat, and Shen Qingzhu stood frozen in place, like statues.

They stared in disbelief at the altar that had been cleaved in two by the terrifying sword energy.

The Ninth Seat craned his neck, a look of shock on his face.

This sword energy... it's from the Great Xia Sword Saint!

That letter actually brought him here!

Yiyu also recognized who the owner of the sword energy was, and his face turned extremely gloomy.

Sword Saint! How did he discover this place? Even if the Night Watchmen discovered it, they shouldn't have sent the Great Xia Sword Saint!

For the past month and a half, their whereabouts have been kept extremely secret... except for Shen Qingzhu...

Yiyu's eyes widened instantly as she turned to look at Shen Qingzhu and the Ninth Seat.

However, seeing Shen Qingzhu's sickly appearance, his gaze finally settled on the Ninth Seat.

Shen Qingzhu nearly exhausted her spiritual power in order to activate the altar ahead of schedule, demonstrating her loyalty.

Moreover, in that state, even getting out of bed was difficult, let alone sending a message.

Therefore, the only one capable of doing this is the Ninth Seat.

"He Lin! You're an undercover agent too!" Yi Yu looked at the Ninth Seat with a gloomy gaze!

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Seat looked at the destroyed altar and no longer tried to hide his feelings.

"Hehe, nonsense! That's right, I'm an undercover agent! I deliberately guided Shen Qingzhu to send out her mental energy so that I could go out and report back."

Shen Qingzhu was taken aback. It was obvious that the Ninth Seat was trying to exonerate himself. At such close range, even if the Sword Saint came, Yiyu could easily kill the two of them.

The Ninth Seat intends to sacrifice himself... Shen Qingzhu clenched her fists.

"He Lin! You're asking for it!"

As he reached out, a nightmare tentacle flew out from behind him.

Ding!

Another sword cry rang out, and Yiyu's expression changed drastically. He quickly cast Nightmare, and the space immediately began to distort.

The figure disappeared on the spot.

The next second, a snow-white sword aura landed where Yiyu was standing, leaving a deep sword mark.

Meanwhile, Yiyu had already teleported in front of Shen Qingzhu, staring intently at the sky above the basement.

"He Lin, very good! You were not controlled by the soul contract either."

The Ninth Seat smiled, his expression seemingly indifferent to life and death. "That thing isn't as useful as you think."

A chilling smile played on his lips. "Then, you can die now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless nightmare tentacles rose up behind him, densely reaching out to grab the Ninth Seat.

"Damn it, I don't need you to sacrifice yourself to save me!"

Just then, Shen Qingzhu, who was standing behind the babbling, drew her Soul-Severing Blade and roared, "SpongeBob, let's catch jellyfish together!"
