I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 873: Grudges Are Usually Settled on the Spot

Lin Yi’s words, Qin Zhu had no reason to believe.
But the words of his youngest daughter, he couldn’t doubt.
This little girl Qin Qianqian has always admired her big brother from the bottom of her heart since she was young.
Now that this girl accused Qin Guang, the facts are quite clear.
As for the relationship between Lin Yi and Lin You, Qin Zhu no longer wanted to dwell on it.
Someone Qin Xinxin would try her best to help must be very important to her.
Lin Yi was so young and already had such strength; his future achievements would be terrifying. Better to bully an old man than a poor young man.
Moreover, it’s highly likely that they would work together in the future.
"Since Shakyamuni is not in your hands, you may leave. An unprecedented battle is about to erupt in the Nine Netherworld. Your task was unfulfilled due to the slow intel update from Dark Rising. They probably won’t blame you."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t see you off."
After Qin Zhu finished speaking, he tossed a token to Lin Yi.
"With this, you can smoothly leave the Nine Netherworld. Farewell, young man."
Qin Guang, having said his part, was about to leave with Qin Qianqian.
After taking a few steps, Qin Guang realized the little girl was exerting a force in the opposite direction behind him.
Meeting Qin Zhu’s puzzled gaze, Qin Qianqian’s words almost gave Qin Zhu a stroke.
"My sister and I are summoned creatures contracted by Lin Yi. I don’t want to leave Lin Yi."
These words made Lin Yi’s head ache.
Since Lin You was harmed by the old ghost, Lin Yi had already terminated the contract with Qin Qianqian, returning her freedom.
Lin Yi would not do something so inconsiderate.
He knew very well Qin Qianqian followed him only for her sister’s sake.
After Lin You perished, Qin Qianqian no longer had a reason to follow him. Lin Yi terminated the contract immediately. Yet, unexpectedly, she hadn’t undone her part, leaving Lin Yi both surprised and embarrassed.
Contracting two princesses from the Land of the Nine Netherworld as summoned creatures might slide in conversations with others, but telling the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, Qin Zhu, would be piling beans to fry in a pot.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
But Qin Zhu was no unreasonable person.
He could deduce his daughter’s intentions and wouldn’t lash out at Lin Yi.
Considering his stubborn little girl and Qin Guang’s strength, along with the Nine Netherworld’s current mess, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Kid, take this girl Qianqian and leave. The coming battle in the Nine Netherworld is not something you can participate in. The Nine Netherworld is in need of manpower right now, and I can’t let you kill Qin Guang. Besides, I don’t want to see siblings tearing each other apart. I only hope time will ease their hatred."
Lin Yi knew very well that in front of the King of the Nine Netherworld, he had no qualifications to negotiate.
Thus, he followed Qin Zhu’s advice. Ignoring Qin Qianqian’s curses and resistance, he used the absolute suppression of the contract to take her back into his Undead Space.
Ignoring Qin Qianqian’s curses.
"Well then, senior, farewell, Dark Rising."
After Lin Yi spoke, he cupped his hands to show respect and then left with the two women, heading towards the Nine Netherworld’s exit.
"Lin Yi, are you even a man? My sister sacrificed her life for you, yet you dare not avenge her. Do you have the nerve to hold the divine artifact she left? You’re a coward."
"If you’re incapable or lack the courage, let me go; I’ll avenge my sister myself. Lin Yi, I really misjudged you. I even thought you had the guts to avenge my sister with the divine artifact, but it turns out you’re a coward! You don’t deserve her kindness."
Lin Yi did not respond to Qin Qianqian’s insults.
Lin Yi was never ungrateful or heartless. Part of his mission in the Nine Netherworld was to resolve Lin You’s troubles. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Lin Yi planned.
"Enough, you silly girl, don’t you know when to shut up? With Qin Zhu present, how could Lin Yi make a move?"
"Even I, with my not-so-sharp brain, can understand. The decision to retreat earlier was unavoidable. Acting rashly without knowing if Qin Zhu would assist is irresponsible to Xiyue and Ziyue."
With Hou’s analysis, Qin Qianqian’s mood quickly calmed down.
From Lin Yi’s perspective, it indeed made sense.
Having lost Lin You, he couldn’t risk the lives of other companions.
Suddenly, Lin Yi’s perspective stopped moving.
"In the upcoming battle, you all shall not intervene. Leave it to me."
The act must be done thoroughly.
Upon hearing about the chaos in the Nine Netherworld, Lin Yi’s suppressed desire to kill surfaced again.
Lin Yi did not know what the sky-high murderous intent and resentment truly were.
However, Qin Zhu’s words confirmed their significance.
For Qin Zhu to give it a "unprecedented" evaluation, it seemed Qin Zhu had his hands full with matters other than Qin Guang, granting Lin Yi the opportunity to kill Qin Guang.
Besides, Qin Guang had his Lifebound Divine Artifact destroyed, which could not bode well for him, marking a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
But Lin Yi could not show it, for Qin Zhu was surely displeased with Qin Guang’s selfish acts, yet, like a tiger who won’t eat its cubs, he couldn’t let his son be killed before his eyes.
Thus, Lin Yi had to run a good distance before stopping.
"I’m the kind of person who, if conditions allow, avenges on the spot."
With those words, Lin Yi summoned his [Mechanical Wings], holding the token given by Qin Zhu, and rushed towards the City of Ten Thousand Souls where Qin Guang resided.
City of Ten Thousand Souls, central square.
Supported by two personal guards, Qin Guang finally escaped, successfully expelling the Nine Netherworld River Water from his system, collapsing on the ground.
He gulped for air, trying to calm his restless breath.
"That damned old ghost, taking so many resources over the years, but when it matters, he’s useless."
"Hurry up and set the formation to help me heal. Who knows what happened on the Nether River side...."
Before he could finish his words, two personal guards of the King of the Nine Netherworld appeared before Qin Guang.
"Young master, a change has occurred in the Nine Netherworld. Those guys from the Upper Plane have engaged with the King. What about your side...."
The entire Nine Netherworld recognized Qin Guang’s combat prowess.
Besides Qin Zhu, there was none other than Qin Guang.
A battle against All Celestial Divine Beings, with Qin Guang’s involvement, could certainly alleviate a lot of pressure.
Unexpectedly, the personal guards of the King of the Nine Netherworld were stunned before finishing.
The fresh bloodstains, tattered clothing, and erratic breathing all depicted a fierce battle Qin Guang just endured, where he suffered greatly.
Hard to imagine who in the Land of the Nine Netherworld could put Qin Guang in such a dire state.
"Young master, what happened to you?"
