Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 197 Spiritual Oath

"Qing Ning, disciple of Laozi, greets Lord Nezha."

This is Nezha...?

Although Laozi had already mentioned it beforehand, this legendary god was still quite different from what she had imagined. However, with the Ming King in front of her, she wasn't too surprised.

Seeing that someone finally respected him as a god, Nezha nodded in satisfaction, "No problem, no problem."

Then he looked at Laozi and asked, "Speak, what is it?"

"hold on."

Seeing this, Nezha looked at the Ming King not far away and said, "It seems things are not simple. Old Yan, is this your first time here?"

"You weren't even here when I arrived!"

The King of Ming said somewhat displeased.

Nezha: "Tch."

laugh!

Just then, a dark blue flame appeared beside Nezha, gradually coalescing into a human figure. It was a middle-aged man of average height with a large halo behind his head.

"Wow, it's really lively here."

"We've been waiting for you."

Lao Jun greeted him.

This time, Xuanli and Qingning bowed in unison. This person is the oldest living god, and his seniority is even higher than that of Laozi.

Emperor Yan looked at King Ming and said meaningfully, "It's been so long, Little Ming, are you still holding a grudge?"

"Get to the point and then get out."

The King said with a cold face.

Despite being rebuffed, Emperor Yan was not angry and sat down in front of Laozi.

Afterwards, Laozi told Nezha and Yandi in detail what Naga had done and his plans. At this moment, a total of four gods had gathered here, making for a formidable lineup.

After hearing what had happened, Emperor Yan and the others understood what had occurred.

"So, everything is because of this little girl?"

"That guy is so shameless!"

Emperor Yan did not show much emotion, but Nezha was somewhat displeased. Even they, as fellow gods, found Naga's methods shameful.

quiet……

They were unhappy, but for the time being, they had no way to break the deadlock.

"how do you want to do it?"

Nezha broke the silence first and asked Laozi a question.

"First of all, we must find a way to get rid of Naga's spirit. I've tried, but I can't."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan beckoned to Xuan Li, "Come here."

Xuan Li walked closer as instructed, and then Emperor Yan raised his hand and pointed.

laugh!

A dark blue flame enveloped Xuan Li, carrying terrifying spiritual power, but it did not harm Xuan Li in the slightest. After a moment, the flame dissipated, and the spiritual power belonging to Naga on Xuan Li's body remained.

"..."

After observing him carefully for a moment, Emperor Yan said, "If we don't burn him to death, it seems there's really no other way."

Xuan Li, "Hey..."

Nezha appeared to the side, "How about I use my fire to burn you?"

Xuan Li: "You just want to burn me, don't you... (speechless)"

Seeing that Emperor Yan's flames had no effect, Laozi was not surprised. He was already considering the worst-case scenario. "Moreover, I can't see its effect."

"I understand. If you can't do it, I believe no one can. So the only option is to hand over that girl."

Upon hearing Emperor Yan's words, Xuan Li's expression turned furious. "Why?! Can't we just kill him?!"

"Who would go against God for the sake of a human being?"

Yan Di's words caused Lao Jun and Qing Ning's expressions to change slightly.

These gods are beings who have lived for countless ages and have long been accustomed to everything in the world.

Therefore, they couldn't find any fault with what Emperor Yan said, but the premise was that Qing Ning's significance to Laozi was extraordinary.

Xuan Li slammed his fist on the table beside him and demanded, "Even if he threatens you like this, you'll hand him over?!"

"Go ahead and pay. Didn't Naga say there would be a condition for the exchange? Since he's the one asking for help now, you can raise the price a bit."

"Isn't that a bit heartless of you to say?"

Nezha said, propping his chin on his hand.

Emperor Yan didn't take it to heart, then looked at King Ming and asked, "I was just about to ask you, why did Little Ming come?"

The King said, "If you shout again, I'll kill you right here."

"Hehehe..." Emperor Yan changed his tune and said, "Alright, why did you come?"

"Being implicated, is that so hard to understand?"

“If it were Laozi, I could understand, but shouldn’t you be making Laozi hand the person over?”

Emperor Yan looked at King Ming with some surprise and said meaningfully, "It's not an exaggeration to say that you're a ruthless killer, is it?"

Mingwang's abilities are related to the undead, and the things he does are all about dealing with beings like the Soul Reaper. He can be said to be the only god among the gods who reached an agreement who has the "legitimate" privilege of killing.

"Yes, no wonder I felt something was off."

Nezha then looked at the King of Light and said.

However, Emperor Yan then remembered something and slapped his forehead, "Oh right, I almost forgot... you're also a healer."

"!"

Qing Ning was also learning about this for the first time, but she quickly remembered that Lao Jun had told her that there were six other healing types besides her.

However, except for one who had already become a god, all the others met tragic ends.

"Speaking of healing themes, I almost forgot one person..."

Just then, Laozi suddenly remembered something and gestured for the others to wait.

"Ok?"

A moment later, Lao Jun used his mental abilities to contact Qin Ming.

"Laojun?"

"Qin Ming, where are you right now? Can you come over for a moment?"

"Northern Territory."

"?"

Lao Jun paused for a moment, but then realized that Naga might have attacked Qin Ming. Just as he was about to ask, Qin Ming spoke first, "I broke in on my own. Naga's clone is called 'Spirit Lord,' and it took away 40% of his spiritual power. Its special ability is that when its eyes are open, it can sense the demons and humans who have absorbed its spirit, and live and die together with them."

With a sharp look, Lao Jun could no longer discern anything special about Naga's clone. He hadn't expected Qin Ming to have obtained such information.

"then you?"

“The Naga’s ‘Spirit Lord’ avatar took away half of the spiritual power. I originally wanted to kill him, but it seems he has transferred all his domains and I can’t find him.”

"call……"

Lao Jun was somewhat shocked, but he still used the Blue Jade Plate to bring Qin Ming to Buzhou Mountain.

Dressed in black, the Emperor Yan's expression changed upon his arrival.

"It's you!"

"Ok?"

Qin Ming naturally noticed him as well, and a surge of spiritual energy rose within him, his gaze calm yet carrying a hint of fighting spirit.

Nezha asked, somewhat puzzled, "You two know each other?"

"More than just acquaintances."

Emperor Yan stared at Qin Ming with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

Qin Ming nodded. "Let's get down to business first. If Emperor Yan is interested, I'm ready to accompany you anytime."

"……cut."

Emperor Yan's expression was still somewhat sour, but he didn't want to be remembered for picking a fight with a junior.

However, this scene still made Nezha and Mingwang have some wild thoughts. They didn't know Qin Ming very well, but they were very familiar with this oldest god.

Saying he's relying on his age and seniority is a bit of an exaggeration, but he certainly wouldn't submit to anyone and wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Even Laozi would show him respect based on seniority alone.

"Let me introduce myself, this is Qin Ming."

Lao Jun then introduced the other people to Qin Ming, "King Ming, this is Nezha, and..."

"Emperor Yan, I have witnessed it."

"Humph!"

Nezha, however, showed interest as he sized up Qin Ming. "I heard you escaped Naga's domain unscathed? Is that true?"

"That's why I asked you to come here, Qin Ming."

Lao Jun interrupted Nezha's question and looked seriously at Qin Ming. Yan Di and Ming Wang also realized Lao Jun's intention.

They were somewhat helpless against Naga's methods, but to be honest, these methods could only be described as despicable, not clever. If Laozi were given enough time, he could solve the problem.

But there's one area that remains unsolved!

If it weren't for the fact that the domain lord is almost invincible within its boundaries, as Xuan Li said, they could simply slap their heads, rush up and attack, and kill Naga directly.

There's no need to rack our brains here anymore.

"If it is inconvenient, I can swear a spiritual oath that I will never reveal your abilities."

The usually calm and composed Laozi suddenly uttered such a desperate statement.

"Master!"

"!"
