Stellar Transformation-Chapter 132: Episode 6: Hall of the Nine Fiends, - 1 - The Fury of the Nine Fiends
The vast undersea mountain range, riddled with ravines, saw one majestic and noble cave mansion after another, perched on mountain peaks, mid-slopes, and flat lands alike. At a glance, tens of thousands of these cave mansions had been constructed, with demon cultivators coming and going in groups. ππ«ππ²π¨πππππ―ππΉ.ππ¨πΊ
Compared to the Red Blood Territory, this place was flourishing beyond measure.
In the center of this grand undersea mountain range stood the towering Nine Evil Hall, which dominated all other structures in height and occupied a staggeringly large area.
The overall layout of the Nine Evil Hall was in the shape of the "Twelve Capital Gates," featuring twelve palaces at the positions of the formationβs eyes. Between these palaces were gardens, private courtyards, pavilions, and more. The number of guards at the Nine Evil Hall was an astonishing tens of thousands.
It could be said that the population inside the Nine Evil Hall alone could match that of the entire Red Blood Territory.
The Nine Evil Hall, the palace known as Di Long Hall, was where His Highness Di Long resided.
Dressed in a purple robe, Di Long sat casually in a chair, slowly sipping his wine, enjoying himself immensely. Yet, despite his enjoyment, there was an oppressive aura naturally emanating from him.
After finishing a cup, the beautiful maid beside him immediately filled it again.
"Life is endless, so one should enjoy every moment, right? Am I right or not?" Di Long casually asked the two charming maids beside him, stroking his stubbly beard.
The seductive maid quickly replied, "Your Highness is right, your wisdom is unparalleled."
Di Long nodded in satisfaction.
The two maidsβ brows were beaded with sweat. This prince was notoriously temperamental and domineering. If their reactions failed to satisfy Di Long, they dreaded to think of the consequences. Just as Di Long was enjoying his wine,
"Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!" A frantic voice suddenly rang out from outside Di Long Hall.
Di Longβs brows furrowed, a flash of cold light in his eyes.
"Who goes there! This is Di Long Hall, trespassers will be executed without exception!" the captain of Di Long Hallβs guards shouted.
At that moment, the guard captain who had come running stopped abruptly, trembling. He had just heard the news of the death of the Eighth Prince and was too terrified, having forgotten the rules of the Nine Evil Hall. Trespassing into one of the twelve palaces was punishable by death!
"Your Highness, I am the guard captain in charge of the Soul Jade Scrolls..."
"Let him in!"
Di Long trembled upon hearing "Soul Jade Scrolls." This meant the guard captain was terribly alarmed to come here; surely, something serious had happened. Upon hearing the command, the guard captain rushed inside Di Long Hall.
"Speak, what exactly has happened?" Di Long said coldly.
The guard captain suddenly knelt down with a thud; sweat began to seep from his face as he said in terror, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened. Today, when I went to check the Soul Jade Scrolls, I discovered... I discovered..." The guard captain stuttered, his throat going dry.
"Out with it, speak clearly or Iβll kill you right now!" Di Long, seeing the guard captain struggle to utter the most crucial bit, roared in anger.
The Guard Captain suddenly swallowed hard before saying, "Eighth Prince, itβs the Eighth Prince."
"What about the Eighth Prince, donβt talk nonsense, you absolutely cannot speak rashly about this matter, beware of your soul scattering!" Di Long suddenly stood up, angrily shouting, as he already had a suspicion, but he was unwilling to believe his own guess.
"The Eighth Prince is dead, his Soul Jade Scroll has shattered." The Guard Captain was frightened internally, "Your Highness, your subordinate is absolutely not lying, I saw it with my own eyes."
Di Longβs face instantly turned pale.
In a flash, Di Long reminisced about his childhood, when the nine young Flood Dragons struggled to survive, constantly facing threats to their lives. United, either through killing enemies or devouring other demon beasts, the nine Flood Dragons helped each other.
Through the years, after helping each other and stepping over the corpses of others to reach higher statuses, the nine brothers, having undergone the Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, transformed into human forms and became one of the three major forces in the Undersea Demon Cultivator World. In the Nine Evil Hall, all nine brothers were addressed as βYour Highnessβ, no one superior or inferior to another, even if Di Long was the strongest among them. He was still merely a βYour Highnessβ, not a Hall Master!
The bond among the nine brothers was incredibly deep, beyond the understanding of others.
"Oh Eighth Brother!" Di Longβs voice was low, his eyes beginning to redden.
"Ah~~~~" Di Long suddenly raised his arms high, roaring in agony.
In a burst of violent Qi Force centered around Di Long, it erupted explosively in all directions, instantly blasting the two maids behind him into pieces, without any chance to resist. The kneeling Guard Captain hurriedly dodged, but still had one of his legs blown off.
The hall of Di Long was instantly a bloody scene.
"Di Qing, Di Xu, Di Yang, Di Feng, Di Jian, Di Luan, Di Nai. All seven of you immediately come to the Soul Jade Scrollβs storage location." Di Long suddenly shouted coldly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Nine Evil Hall, reverberating continuously.
Di Long himself then βswooshedβ through the space, heading directly toward the location of the Soul Jade Scroll.
The Soul Jade Scroll was stored in a pavilion, which was rarely visited by many people except for the guards protecting the Soul Jade Scrollβs pavilion. It was rare for any of the nine princes to visit, but at that moment, beams of purple light descended from the sky.
A flash of light was a person, and in an instant, eight figures landed outside the Soul Jade Scrollβs pavilion.
The other seven princes looked at each other, feeling a bad premonition. Normally, their big brother Di Long would warmly call them Second Brother, Third Brother, or βOld Secondβ, βOld Thirdβ, but just now, he had directly called them by their names.
"Big Brother, what exactly has happened?" Second Brother Di Qing asked anxiously.
"Big Brother, you called us here, could it be that someone has died? But if those subordinates are dead, so be it, but why call all of us brothers over, is it worth it?" Fourth Brother Di Yang said disdainfully, suddenly his face changed as if he thought of something, "Big Brother, could it be... "
Di Longβs face looked terrifyingly grim, he kicked out forcefully, his powerful Demon Essence Power directly tearing apart that restriction.
"Bang!"
The door of the pavilion shattered, revealing to everyone the sight of the shattered eighth piece of the Soul Jade Scroll on the top. Seeing this, the faces of the other seven princes changed almost simultaneously.
Anger, murderous intent, pain...
The other seven princesβ expressions also completely changed, everyoneβs hearts painfully clenched, and their killing intent surged to the skies. At this moment, outside the Soul Jade Scroll Pavilion, the killing intent of the eight princes filled the air, a terrifying oppressive feeling covering the entire Nine Evil Hall.
For thousands of years, the nine brothers supported each other. They were ruthless and merciless towards enemies, slaughtering them without batting an eye. However, the nine brothers would shield each other from swords and knives, their bonds deeply profound.
"Big Brother, tell me, who killed Eighth Brother, who is it? Iβll tear him apart alive!" Di Xu was trembling all over, his eyes bloodshot as he roared at Di Long.
But Di Long remained silent.
"Kill, who is it, who exactly killed Eighth Brother? I must avenge Eighth Brother, avenge Eighth Brother!" Old Second Di Qing also couldnβt restrain the anger in his heart.
Every prince in the Nine Evil Hall wanted nothing more than to eat the murdererβs flesh, drink the murdererβs blood. However, the questioned Your Highness Di Long, how could he know who the murderer was? He only knew that his Eighth Brother had just died.
Who could have killed the Mid Cave Void Stage Purple Evil Flood Dragon within the Nine Evil Hallβs ninety million li radius of water territory?
"Big Brother." A cold voice rang out, it was Old Sixth Di Jian.
Among the Purple Evil Flood Dragon brothers, in terms of strength, the eldest, Di Long, was the first at Late-stage Cave Void, while Eighth Brother Di Tong ranked third at Mid Cave Void Stage. And this second ranking was the usually quiet Old Sixth Di Jian, who had reached Late-stage Cave Void!
"Tell me who the murderer is, I will go capture him." A cold light, like a cold arrow, shone in Di Jianβs eyes.
The other brothers understood Di Jianβs implication, why to kill? Capture and slowly torture, make the murderer beg for death, go through tortures one after the other, unable to live or die. Only then would they be content.
Di Long looked at his brothers, whose killing intent reached the skies, and helplessly shook his head, "The murderer? I still donβt know who the murderer is up to now. Everyone knows the strength of Eighth Brother; who could have killed him? But I know only one thing, two years ago I sent Eighth Brother to infiltrate that Red Blood Cave Mansion for one of the Nine Swords. Eighth Brotherβs current situation must be related to that Red Blood Cave Mansion."
"Red Blood Cave Mansion?" Old Second Di Qing furrowed his brows, "The Cave Master Cha Hong of Red Blood Cave Mansion, although strong, is still no match for Eighth Brother."
Di Jian coldly rebuked, "Why say so much? First, go to Red Blood Cave Mansion to investigate, we will definitely find some clues. If we really canβt find the murderer, then... all those who might be the murderer, kill them all!" Di Jianβs gaze was cold to the bone.
Once killed, never forgiven.
Nobody among the brothers opposed Di Jianβs words, their eyes instead bursting with astonishing killing intent.
In the entire Undersea Demon Cultivator World, all other experts combined werenβt as important in their hearts as their Eighth Brother alone. To dare kill their brother was to be an enemy of all eight brothers.
Di Long immediately commanded, "Good, Eighth Brother was already at Mid Cave Void Realm, to kill him would require at least the Cave Void Realm. The entire Undersea Demon Cultivators at the Cave Void Realm are just so many. However... the slaughter part will wait until the end, letβs go investigate first, carry out the last part if we get nothing. Brothers, who wishes to go investigate Red Blood Cave Mansion!"
"Big Brother stays in command at Nine Evil Hall, Iβll go," Di Jian said coldly.
The other brothers internally nodded. In terms of cultivation, this indifferent Di Jian was definitely second only to Big Brother, and some brothers suspected that Di Jianβs cultivation might even have surpassed Big Brother already, considering both Big Brother Di Long and Di Jian were at Late-stage Cave Void.
With Di Jian personally going, everyone felt reassured.
"I will also go along," Old Second Di Qing also said.
Old Qi Di Luan also spoke out, "Iβll go too. I want to see for myself who killed Eighth Brother." Old Qi Di Luanβs intent to kill was palpable.
Seeing that his other brothers all wished to investigate, Di Long immediately said, "With Old Six, Old Two, and Old Seven going together, that should be sufficient. With those three, I doubt anyone could take their lives. The rest of you will stay here with me in the Nine Evil Hall."
The trio of Di Jian indeed possessed a very powerful attack power. To eliminate them, probably only the Palace Master Azure Dragon of the Green Dragon Palace and the Three-eyed Old Demon of Bishui Mansion could manage. However, these two were the supreme beings among the Undersea Demon Cultivators; why would they demean themselves by arbitrarily killing people from the Nine Evil Hall?
"Big Brother, we three should not delay and must leave immediately," said Second Brother Di Qing as he bowed; Di Jian and Di Luan also bowed and bid farewell to their brothers.
"Old Two, Old Six, Old Seven, I entrust the revenge for Eighth Brother to you," Di Long said solemnly. Di Xu, Di Yang, Di Feng, and Di Nai also bowed and bade farewell to the trio of Di Jian.
Afterward, Di Jian, Di Qing, and Di Luan turned into streaks of light and left the Nine Evil Hall.

Inside the grand hall of the Red Blood Cave Mansion.
Qin Yu, with a sweep of his robe, took his seat upon the grand hall. Beside Qin Yuβs throne stood another, where Hou Fei was sitting, with another spot still vacant, reserved for Hei Yu.
"We pay our respects to the Cave Master."
The three brothers of Xuan Turtle Ba Shan, the two brothers Hu Sha Witch Pupil and Wu Feng, the sisters Snake Woman Yanqing and Xi Yan, Zhuang Zhong, and Guardian Liu Xing, all nine guardians, bowed respectfully. Ever since Qin Yu had defeated Guardian Liu Xing with a single strike, the Nine Guardians had ceased to doubt Qin Yuβs strength. As for Hou Feiβs strength, there was no question at all.
"We pay our respects to the Cave Master!"
Fifty Guard Captains knelt on one knee. These fifty Guard Captains represented five thousand guards, who now also knew of Cha Hongβs death, and the new Cave Master was indeed Guardian Liu Xing.
"Here, I announce several rules," Qin Yu said as he looked down at the Nine Guardians and fifty Guard Captains indifferently.
All below listened respectfully to the command.
"Starting today, my Red Blood Cave Mansion will no longer recognize a main and vice Cave Master, but simply a Cave Master, Second Cave Master, and Third Cave Master. The three Cave Masters will hold equal status, and the rules may draw reference from the nine Hall Masters of the Nine Evil Hall. Do the guardians understand?"
Qin Yuβs first command took everyone below by surprise.
To Qin Yu, the position of Cave Master was not very important; he had seized the Red Blood Cave Mansion as a place for him and his brothers to stand. Qin Yu could not tolerate being under someone elseβs orders. Moreover, Qin Yu understood that the Nine Evil Hall would not let Di Tongβs death go unchecked.
Facing the Nine Evil Hall, Qin Yu and his two brothers naturally united. No matter if the sky fell or the earth split, as long as the three brothers joined forces, what challenges couldnβt they overcome?
Yet at this moment, Qin Yu did not know the depth of the brotherhood among the Nine Evil Hallβs nine brothers, how deeply angered and vengeful the hearts of the Eight Princes were, or that the trio led by Di Jian was already on their way here.
