The malevolent aura swirled around Ning Yuan, yet it spread towards them, as if it would devour them at the slightest command from the person before them.

Some people who enter the underworld carry a certain amount of malevolent energy because they have committed sins in the mortal world and have killed people.

However, they had never seen anyone like the man before them, exuding such a menacing aura that even they were afraid to approach.

This must be the result of killing countless people to possess such a powerful aura of malevolence.

Most importantly, he was not affected by the evil aura at all!

He killed so many people, yet he remained unaffected by the malevolent energy.

this……

Is this possible?

The underworld officials were astonished, but their eyes also held a hint of doubt and confusion.

At the same time, they dared not act rashly.

The evil aura is even more terrifying than the turbid air of the underworld or the resentment of the Ghost King.

If you rush in rashly, you will only be harmed by the evil energy.

Ye You, who was watching from the side, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

I really didn't expect Jiang Ningyuan to either not make a move at all, or when he does, it's a huge one.

He actually managed to intimidate all the underworld officials with his malevolent aura, and even the usually hot-tempered wasp was afraid of the malevolent aura emanating from him.

"Step back, all of you," the judge standing behind them said at that moment.

The underworld officials all looked up at the judge. One of them said, "Your Honor, this... he... he has such a heavy aura of malevolence, and he's holding Little Yama. He even wants to take away the souls of our underworld. If this gets out, others will definitely laugh at our underworld."

With such a strong malevolent aura, he must have killed many people. Even if such a person dies in the underworld, his death is not a pity.

If we let him return to reality, he might indiscriminately kill more innocent people.

He even wanted to take Little Yama away. Who knows if he will make a move against Little Yama when he returns to reality, since he hasn't made a move against him yet?

The mortal world is not under their jurisdiction. Once he returns to the mortal world, he will be out of their sight and out of their control.

Little Yama has already died once; if anything untoward happens to him again, I fear…

The underworld will be thrown into chaos once again.

As for those two souls, regardless of how they died, since they are souls, they belong to the underworld.

If he were to bring them back to the mortal world, and others heard about it, they would surely laugh at the people of the underworld, even the Little King Yama, saying that they couldn't even keep two souls safe, that they were snatched away by an ordinary person, and that the underworld was cowardly and useless.

In his view, this person must be eliminated. He cannot be allowed to return to reality, and even less can he be allowed to take Little Yama and those two souls back with him!

"I... I have a strong aura of malevolence, yet it hasn't harmed me in the slightest. Why is that?"

“Your Little Yama is now in the body of an ordinary person, and she has lost a lot of magic power because she broke into the Lamp Spirit and fought against the Ghost King. If I don’t bring her back to the mortal world, the turbid air in the underworld can kill her in no time.”

Ning Yuan sneered, and that surprisingly pleasant voice came from his mouth.

After saying that, he looked down at Jiang Yuan, who was fast asleep in his arms.

She is currently in his arms, where the evil energy is blocking her, preventing the turbid energy from entering her body.

If he put her down and handed her over to that old man, he was certain that the evil energy would flood into Jiang Yuan's body.

Furthermore, he was unwilling to hand over his wish to this group of people, including that old man.

This time, I will absolutely not hand over his wish to them!

absolute!

The underworld officials were surprised and turned to look at the judge, as if seeking confirmation from him.

The fact that the malevolent energy didn't harm him could also be because he used some kind of evil magic to protect himself.

But if Little Yama doesn't return to the mortal world, will the turbid energy really take her life?

The judge nodded, tacitly agreeing with what Ning Yuan had said.

The underworld officials fell silent, their expressions subtly changing.

They wanted Little Yama to be safe and sound, and naturally did not want to see her die from the turbid air.

"As for these two souls, they are not yet dead in the mortal world. It was your people who captured their living souls," Ning Yuan continued, emphasizing the word "your people."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the underworld officials turned even uglier.

Compared to someone taking two souls from the underworld, if word got out that a traitor in the underworld had harmed people in the present world and wanted to kill Yama, that would truly make them lose face and become a laughingstock, unable to hold their heads high for the rest of their lives.

"In that case, can you stop me?"

"If you stop me, I don't mind... destroying the underworld."

Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them, and his words carried a hint of excitement, as if destroying the Underworld was just a matter of course.

If this weren't the place where his Ah Yuan stayed, he would have torn this lousy place down long ago.

If the underworld could disappear, that would be the best outcome.

There was no reason before, but if these people still want to attack after he has explained the situation...

Then he would have a reason to make a move.

He wasn't the one who struck first; it was they.

If his wife Ah Yuan asks about it later, he'll have a good excuse.

Upon seeing this, the underworld officials couldn't help but shudder.

This person... seems to... want them to take action.

Upon hearing this, the underworld officials dared not obstruct Ning Yuan any longer and reluctantly made way for him.

First, we need to save Little Yama.

Secondly, the news that Riyou betrayed the Underworld and was purged by Little Yama must not be spread.

"You're smart to know what's good for you," Ning Yuan said coldly.

After saying that, Ning Yuan, holding Jiang Yuan in his arms, and with the Yama's Pen leading the two souls, swaggered away from the underworld.

"Your Honor, are you really going to let him leave so easily, Little Yama?" a judge asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to Little Yama. Right now, the more important thing is... dealing with the traitor," the judge assured him.

Anyone in the world, including him, could potentially make a move against Little Yama.
