Chapter 570: Settling Matters

"So it's you." Baal immediately recognized the man that appeared after he fully revealed himself, "Perfect timing. You saved me the trouble of searching for you."

"Of course, how could I dare to let someone of your status search for me?" Jin Rou smiled as he looked at the weakened Asmodeus, "It seems like you have known everything."

"I have my methods. I won't be the strongest great demon if I can't do this much." Baal smiled and two grand chairs appeared. Each looked exquisite and grand, "How about we talk while sipping tea?"

It was like an invitation coming from a close friend. Jin Rou smiled and sat down the chair, "Why not?"

Baal then moved his fingers and a tea kettle and a set of tea cups appeared. Even the tea cups looked very expensive and in fact, it was also filled with vitality. He moved his hands and it flowed like falling water in gracefulness.

It seemed that the great demon mastered the art of making and serving tea.

Next, he poured a cup of the tea he carefully prepared to Jin Rou's and next to him, "This tea is the best tea that you will ever taste. I have only three sets of this and these are the last sets you can find in the whole world."

Jin Rou looked at Baal and smelled the tea. After smelling the aroma, he decided to take a sip and try it. Instantly, his expression changed and said, "You aren't bluffing."

"This tea is called Freedom Tea." Baal explained its origins, "The tea leaves are from Freedom Tree which only existed in the most dangerous zone of Upper Immortal. I managed to get some when I pushed my luck there."

"A tea enthusiast." Jin Rou claimed.

"I won't call myself that much." Baal shook his head and said, "I only love tea like how normal people and demons do."

"But no one will ever dare to venture the most dangerous zone only to find some tea leaves." Jin Rou smirked. He knew that there was more to it, but he didn't dig deeper. It won't change anything, anyway.

"Perhaps." Baal laughed softly.

After a brief silence, Jin Rou put down the tea cup and asked, "Surely you didn't invite me for a tea just to talk like friends. Speak, what do you want?"

It was now time for the main topic. Baal erased his smile and said, "And surely you don't merely pass by this vicinity. After all, I already locked in the space yet you still managed to come in. You are coming for me, right?"

"That might be true." Jin Rou didn't coat his words, "But I'm not here to kill you. Just to discipline you a bit."

"Discipline, huh?" Baal smiled as he leaned on the chair. He then crossed his legs and said, "Did the Insignia ask you to do that?"

Jin Rou took a second look at this great demon. Sure enough, Baal wasn't the strongest great demon for nothing, "It's amazing how can you conclude so easy and accurately."

It's not a sarcasm but a deep praise coming from Jin Rou.

"Well, they are the only ones who will want to suppress me after all the things that happened." Baal smiled, "But I don't think that will be necessary. My grand spell is about to be completed and I can be finally free of this hell. They can do whatever they want with this. Of course, if there will be something left after."

"If there is something that will survive, that will only be the old trees that withstood the passage of time." Jin Rou sipped and said, "That grand spell of yours will spell the absolute doom of Great Hell, and that will affect many things, balance included."

"So you will also stop me?" Baal's voice turned cold and a bit of his killing intent was leaking.

"Depends if you will do it." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders, "One way or another, I'm going to suppress you."

"I see. I thought I can make you my friend. But it looks like I'm wrong." Baal's voice was turning colder.

"Friend? Please, you only want my mysteries inside. Do you think I'm blind not to see it?" Jin Rou laughed sarcastically, "But I suggest you to stop dreaming about it. Even if you can take over my body, the mysteries will remain unsolved."

"Hah, you knew." Baal didn't deny it and said, "Since we cannot come up into an agreement, we might as well settle this now."

Baal wanted to say more of this, however he immediately felt something heavy on his back and he knelt down on the ground.

"Boom! Thump!" Baal tried to get up but the pressure on his body was so heavy that it felt like he was carrying the multitudes of the world.

He was greatly shaken. This was the first time that he felt so helpless and he knew who was the source of this pressure.

"Settle? Yeah, I will settle this myself. So be a good boy and let me do my business." Jin Rou smirked and held the forehead of Baal.

The latter couldn't help but shout, "What do you intend to do? Stop!"

"Don't be afraid. I won't kill you. I will just make sure that you will not be able to be stronger for the next hundred thousand of years." Jin Rou said with a wicked smile on his face.

And after that, a scream that could destroy realms toppled the Great Hell. It was a scream filled with despair and begging.

"Thump!" After a few minutes, Baal fell on the ground with his body twitching. It looked like he suffered great trauma that he wouldn't be able to overcome in the next hundred thousand years.

"With this, my part is done." Jin Rou said and looked at Asmodeus who no longer had any life signs and sighed.

Now that his job was done, it was time to fet out of Great Hell and ascend to the Upper Immortal.
