Chapter 482: Lord of Fengdu

Seeing this, Huo Qinghuang raised the corners of her lips slightly, and gently stroked the edge of the Wanling Treasure Mirror with her fingertips: "Why, you don't believe it?"

Ripples suddenly appeared on the mirror, reflecting a horrifying scene.

Deep within the eighteen levels of hell, a phoenix flapped its wings and cried out loudly. Wherever it passed, the fires of karma dissipated and thousands of ghosts wailed.

Ao Jiu's pupils suddenly shrank: "This is... the scene of you causing a commotion in the Eighteen Levels of Hell?!"

"Do you believe it now?"

Huo Qinghuang put away the mirror and turned to look at the trembling Lique Ghost King. "Lead the way. I want to meet the one who is now in charge of Fengdu."

The ghost king Lique trembled all over: "My lord, this..."

"Hmm?" Huo Qinghuang's eyes turned cold.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Ghost King Lique bowed quickly, “But, the Lord of Fengdu is in seclusion now, I’m afraid…”

Tushan Yuhua stood behind Kuiniu, blocking him with most of her body, and whispered: "It's okay, we are best at helping people get out of the customs."

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Ghost King Lique. Just as he was about to say something else, the entire Fengdu City suddenly shook violently.

A deafening roar came from afar:

"Who dares to disturb my meditation?!"

Wherever the sound waves passed, the ancient talismans on the city walls lit up one after another, interweaving in the air to form a ghost face that covered the sky and the sun.

Huo Qinghuang calmly threw the Wanling Treasure Mirror into the air: "How dare you! How dare you look down on me?!"

The mirror suddenly shone brightly, and a brilliant golden light shot out from it, directly piercing through the ghost face.

Amid the shrill screams, the yin energy of the entire Fengdu City stagnated.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

No one expected Huo Qinghuang to attack without even saying hello.

And the other party, if I’m not mistaken, is the Lord of Fengdu?

Ao Jiu suddenly shuddered and took a few steps away from her.

This guy is becoming more and more unreasonable. It would be terrible if we do something bad to him one day.

Huo Qinghuang glared at him, then turned to the dumbfounded Li Que Ghost King and shouted, "Now, can you lead the way?"

Lique Ghost King fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I will take you to see the Lord of the Underworld right now!"

Tushan Yuhua came close to Huo Qinghuang, shaking her fox tail happily: "Were you a little too overbearing just now?"

Huo Qinghuang blinked: "Really? I'm obviously very reasonable."

Three demons: “…”

Is this what you call being reasonable?

Do you have any misunderstanding about "reason"? !

…

There was no trace of a ghost outside Fengdu City.

When the Ghost King Lique was lying in low profile, all the ghosts, big and small, who were watching from a distance, scattered like birds and beasts.

The Ghost King Li Que walked in front of the crowd stiffly like a puppet, following Huo Qinghuang and others step by step towards the residence of Emperor Fengdu.

Passing through the thick ghost fog and the city gate with howling cold wind, the view in front of you suddenly becomes clear, but it is not the appearance of a worldly world, but a city of the underworld like a ghost world.

The streets were paved with obsidian, emitting a cold and eerie glow.

The dark blue sky was hanging low, and countless ghostly blue lanterns were floating in the air, swaying in the wind and casting eerie light and shadows.

The stalls in the ghost market were filled with all kinds of rare treasures, including wailing human-faced fruits, Forgotten Water served in skull bowls, and even a bowl of diluted Meng Po soup.

Seeing the Ghost King Lique leading the crowd past, those ghost merchants with green faces and fangs all shut their mouths.

Occasionally, a lonely ghost with disheveled hair would float by from the corner of the street, but when they saw Huo Qinghuang and his group approaching, they would immediately shrink back into the shadows, not daring to even breathe.

There was no life in the whole city, only endless depression and austerity.

The Ghost King Lique walked in front, with his head lowered and his eyes humble, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

He was complaining in his heart.

Who could have thought that the legendary fallen "Blue Phoenix Empress" was actually still alive?

What's even more terrifying is that the Master Zufeng behind her...

That is an existence that even the Lord of the Underworld has to bow down to!

Ao Jiu, Tushan Yuhua and Kui Niu followed behind, looking at the surrounding scenery and talking in low voices.

"This place is really hellish."

Kuiniu grinned, "But compared to our demon tribe's territory, it is much quieter."

Tushan Yuhua snorted softly: "Quiet? Didn't you hear the sobbing coming from the cracks in the wall? Those are the wronged souls that were sealed away."

Ao Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked around: "This city is much more mysterious than it appears on the surface. I'm afraid it's more than just the center of the underworld."

Huo Qinghuang listened without saying anything, just walked slowly forward with an indifferent expression, as if all this was just an ordinary passing by.

"Please look, sir, the one ahead is ..."

Before Ghost King Li Que finished his words, a black jade palace suddenly rose from the ground, and on the nine-tiered steps sat a figure wearing a crown.

Behind the curtain of twelve strings of dark beads, two scarlet eyes hung in the sky like a blood moon.

"Qing Huang Queen, you have crossed the line."

The sound waves caused the water of the Forgotten River to flow backwards, and Ao Jiu's dragon scales stood up.

Huo Qinghuang's face darkened, and the Wanling Treasure Mirror turned in a circle in his palm: "Fengdu old man, your way of entertaining guests is far worse than before."

She suspected that the old fox in front of her was deliberately calling her name.

Didn’t you see that Ao Jiu and the others around you were so shocked that they didn’t know who they were?

“Crack!”

The armrests of the throne of King Fengdu suddenly cracked.

The ghost soldiers in front of the palace all retreated three steps, and the Ghost King Lique fell to his knees on the ground.

"You... succeeded in Nirvana?"

The voice beneath the crown was filled with disbelief.

A wisp of Phoenix divine fire ignited at Huo Qinghuang's fingertips: "What do you think?"

The air suddenly froze.

After a long while, the Emperor of Fengdu suddenly laughed loudly, and his laughter shook the entire palace to dust: "Good! Good! You are worthy of being the True Phoenix that the Ancestral Phoenix has personally protected many times!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and the twelve strings of dark beads automatically separated, revealing a handsome and enchanting face.

"Since an old friend has come to visit, I shall certainly do my best to be a good host."

Huo Qinghuang's face had completely drooped.

This old fox was clearly mocking her for getting into trouble so many times in the past, causing her ancestors to always have to clean up the mess for her.

"It seems that you don't want this Tianji Palace anymore?"

Huo Qinghuang put away the Wanling Treasure Mirror as if nothing had happened, and instead took out the Phoenix Feather Fan, gently waving it in his hand.

As she moved, tiny pale golden flames ignited on the fan, burning the yin energy in the air and making it sizzle.

The King of Fengdu sat still, his eyes as deep as the abyss.

He looked at Huo Qinghuang quietly, with a look of scrutiny and a hint of hidden fear in his eyes.

Huo Qinghuang stood in front of the hall, gently waving a feather fan, looking calm and composed.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Ao Jiu and others standing behind her could feel two invisible auras colliding in the air.

Although silent, it is suffocating.

The Emperor of Fengdu was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled: "It seems that you are not here for leisure this time."

Huo Qinghuang didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly: "I want to find someone."

"who?"

The Emperor of Fengdu asked.

"Pluto."

Huo Qinghuang answered.

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was stunned.
