Chapter 869: A Bit of a Forcing
"Chen Yile, please get out of the way. It's not that I don't want to give you face, but this old man is disrespectful. He actually humiliated our underworld so blatantly and didn't even take my father seriously. Since that's the case, I will teach him what the rules are."
Seeing Li Xixi saying this and about to step forward, Chen Yile grabbed her and said, "Can you please calm down for a moment?"
Li Xixi looked very excited. She couldn't stay calm at all in this situation.
"If he was simply humiliating me, it would be fine, but now this old man has touched my bottom line."
Seeing that Li Xixi refused to listen to advice, Chen Yile became anxious.
"Li Xixi, stop it right there. When will you be able to change your impulsive habits?"
Li Xixi was also a little surprised to see Chen Yile so angry.
She was about to rush towards the old man with a dagger in her hand, but she stopped abruptly.
"Yile, did you misunderstand something?"
Chen Yile was furious. "What could I possibly misunderstand? This old man just said a few words. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
"What? He just said two sentences?" This time, even Yan Zhen, who was standing next to him, objected. "Yile, I don't accept your words this time. He wasn't just speaking casually; he was maliciously slandering the underworld."
Chen Yile was almost made to laugh by his two teammates.
"Is it really that serious that they are slandering the underworld?"
Seeing Chen Yile covering up for Whitebeard at this moment, Li Xixi and Yan Zhen were also surprised and confused: "Chen Yile, why are you defending him so much?"
Seeing that his two partners were confused, Chen Yile explained the whole story.
"This old man said before that when we came here, the ancient demon beast hadn't arrived yet."
"Furthermore, after they arrived here, the old man went into seclusion. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly know how famous your father was?"
After hearing Chen Yile's interpretation, Li Xixi suddenly understood.
"Yes, I was too impulsive just now. Why didn't I think of this?"
After hearing what the old man said just now, the hot-tempered girl became furious and started to retort directly.
After understanding Chen Yile's reason for stopping her, she was speechless and her face flushed red.
"Hahahaha——" The white-bearded old man laughed loudly: "It's really interesting. No one has argued with me like this in years."
Although Li Xixi felt embarrassed, she could hear the hidden meaning in the words: "Old man, you mean we are just bickering, not really fighting, right?"
The white-bearded old man's face darkened. "Is it necessary for me to fight with you little brats?"
The old man said this, which meant he forgave them.
Li Xixi's face suddenly lit up with a smile: "I knew you were a magnanimous person, Senior."
The old man snorted coldly: "Don't come on, you are just little kids, I won't bother with you."
Chen Yile also discovered that this old man had an open-minded personality.
He didn't want to argue with these juniors just now, otherwise, with their abilities, Li Xixi and Yan Zhen would definitely suffer a great loss.
As the old man said this, he continued to look at Chen Yile and the others.
"Since you are from the underworld, you are responsible for dealing with the ghosts above."
Yan Zhen was surprised to hear the old man make such a request.
"Old man, I'm afraid this won't work. We just felt the power of this Nine Nether Ghost Formation. Not only us, but even that demon beast couldn't get close to it. Yet you let us handle it."
"That's a bit unreasonable."
Although they were staff members of the underworld, they couldn't help but look conflicted after hearing the old man's request.
"Haha, it's just a ghost formation. I'll go over and tell you guys to disperse immediately."
Having said this, the old man sighed softly.
"The situation at that time was that I saw these ghosts being killed by those monsters, but I was powerless to do anything. In the end, I could only do it secretly."
"Although I have taken measures to protect their souls, countless ghosts are still being devoured alive by that demon beast..."
As the white-bearded old man spoke, a look of sadness covered his face.
"Oh, old man, it's really commendable that you can achieve this. I admire you so much..."
"His abilities are limited, but he refuses to give up. He struggles to survive under the pressure of the monsters."
"Now, you are still able to protect so many souls in this way. It is already rare and precious."
Chen Yile's praise of the other party was truly from the bottom of his heart.
Li Xixi and Yan Zhen, who were standing by, had the same feeling. Now they knew that the old man had arrived at the cliff of life and death earlier than the monster.
The other party made this move again, and now they also have great admiration and respect for this old man.
"That's right, old man. We were so presumptuous because we didn't know the relevant situation before. Now I look up to you and worship you extremely."
Yan Zhen, who was standing by, also expressed his heartfelt emotion.
"Ahem, stop talking about this useless stuff. Next, I'll go and notify these ghosts."
After the old man agreed to notify the ghost, neither Li Xixi nor Yan Zhen said anything more.
There are so many wronged souls in this place. As staff members of the underworld, they also have the responsibility and obligation to handle this matter properly.
But given the situation just now, they really didn't have the ability to go straight over.
But now, the old man went to solve the problem himself, and of course the two people would not say anything.
Yan Zhen, who was following behind, still had a face full of admiration.
"I never thought that there is such a hidden master in this place. Even though he only has one soul and one spirit left, he actually dares to fight against the ancient demon beast."
When Yan Zhen said this, Li Xixi looked dissatisfied.
"You know what? I feel like this old senior with white beard has a very important background. Just looking at the timing, you can tell that he arrived here earlier than that Demon Lord."
"Also, the Nine Netherworld Soul Formation created by the other party is so advanced that even if the underworld were to mobilize all its forces, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to come up with such a brilliant formation."
Yan Zhen nodded sincerely, "That's indeed the case."
As they were talking, four people came outside.
Seeing the old man come out, the ghosts in the river instantly moved and let out earth-shaking cries.
After seeing these ghosts crying bitterly, the yin energy was so strong, that the yin energy that was like evil spirit almost rose into the sky. Li Xixi couldn't help but look surprised.
"Hey, why are these ghosts crying so sadly at this moment?"
Chen Yile had already seen the signs at this time.
"Needless to say, these ghosts are not fools. They must have felt the separation of life and death by now."
