Chapter 185: Defeating the evildoers and punishing the rebels is considered a big win.
Xie Bian's words sounded quite abstract, because his identity had long been ranked among the top ten in Fengdu. He said that he didn't even know whether the King of Hell was a man or a woman, just like studying in college for four years and not knowing what the professional teacher looked like until graduation.
But the fact is, some college students really don’t know what their professional teachers look like until graduation, and Xie Bian is even less clear whether the King of Hell is a man or a woman.
Within the Three Realms, only beings in the human realm are troubled by their appearance. In the heavenly and terrestrial realms, learning to disguise oneself is generally easy, provided one has cultivated for a few hundred years. With cultivation reaching several thousand years, transforming into not only male or female, but also other animals or plants is no problem.
...In the ancient Greek pantheon, some gods used this method to add children to the heavens. They changed into men, women, and animals every day, and had sex with people everywhere to sow seeds and create gods. This is still a "good story" in the pantheon.
Compared with the ancient Greek god, Shuang Ye's cultivation is much stronger.
It is easier for a tens of thousands-year-old fox fairy to deceive Xie Bian, who has been a ghost for less than two thousand years, than for an eighty-year-old human man to deceive a three-year-old child.
Besides, it wasn’t just Xie Bian who was deceived.
Although theoretically the three realms do not interfere with each other, the Heavenly Realm is the first of the three realms to be perfected, and the Emperor of Heaven is at least nominally the "common master of the three realms". King Yama has to report to the Emperor of Heaven in Heaven regularly. Doesn't Di Jun also not know who she is?
Si Ling then kindly let Xie Bian go, and everyone watched quietly as Shuang Ye beat up Di Jun, who was already at the end of his strength.
The hatred piercing his heart with thousands of arrows and the resentment accumulated over thirty thousand years were no joke. Si Ling watched Frost Yield unleash a myriad of spells non-stop, and light danced before his eyes. If this continued, Di Jun, already barely breathing, would soon be reduced to ashes, not even a trace of his soul remaining.
Si Ling certainly didn't feel sorry for Di Jun, but she had to consider the overall situation, especially from the perspective of Hell. She was worried that this way of revenge would bring criticism to Shuang Ye, and it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Si Ling then whispered to Xie Bian, "When you're collecting souls in Hell, is it okay to violently kill someone without trial?"
"Are you kidding?" Xie Bian said expressionlessly, "Our rules and regulations are very strict, okay? This kind of operation is of course not allowed in principle!"
"Then..." Si Ling wanted to ask if he should persuade her.
Xie Bian paused, "But now it's the principles that matter."
“…”Si Ling turned off the microphone.
This one-sided beating lasted for about half an hour. Di Jun went from being on the verge of death to being on the verge of death. His soul began to become transparent, and later, only a faint layer of color remained on his body. With a crisp sound, a layer of golden light suddenly exploded and disappeared in an instant. His soul was destroyed.
After half an hour of continuous output, Shuang Ye finally took a breath. She slumped to the ground, wiped the sweat off her face, and said to Si Ling with a tired smile, "I'm so tired..." Si Ling thought she was referring to the beating that made her tired, but Shuang Ye continued, "Living in hiding is not a human life! In hell, there's not even a peer to chat with! How many times have I wanted to confront Jun Shang, but I was afraid that my impulse would destroy the karma curse. I've been holding it in for 30,000 years, and to avoid suspicion, I even made my personal image look like Li Kui. Who understands this kind of pain!"
Si Ling thought: That really hurts.
The fox clan is one of the most aesthetically pleasing races in the Three Realms. Making them look ugly is more painful than killing them. And Shuang Ye has been pretending to be Li Kui for 30,000 years...
.
Outside the Heavenly Palace, the fight between the old and new gods was nearing its end. Yechui, with no one to fight, had already entered a state of emptiness. The person who came flying in the clouds from afar made her pause suddenly, and then she shouted, "Sister, sister!!!"
Ye Ming was still fighting with a general when he suddenly heard this and flew into a rage. He raised his sword and pierced the general's throat. He turned around and grabbed Ye Chui's collar: "Shut up!" Ye Ming gritted his teeth and said, "We're fighting, be serious! Don't call me sister until the battle is over!"
Yechui's eyes widened: "...Mother."
"Hiss—" Ye Ming was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped. "Are you looking for a beating?"
"No, I mean..." Ye Chui raised his hand and pointed behind her woodenly, "Look, mother."
Ye Ming was startled, and after a closer look, she realized that although Ye Chui's eyes were looking straight ahead, he wasn't actually looking at her. She turned her head to follow Ye Chui's gaze, and when she fixed her eyes, she froze as if she had been electrocuted.
As far as the eye could see, dozens of people were coming together on clouds and mist. The ones behind were all ghost messengers, and the most conspicuous ones in the front were only three, namely Si Ling, Xuan Chi and...
"Mother!!!" Yeming screamed, leaving Yechu behind and running away. After running a few steps, he felt his legs weren't enough, so he cast a spell without thinking, transformed himself into his true form, and leaped into Shuangye's arms.
"..." Yechui looked at this scene, his mouth twitching in annoyance, then he cast a spell and flew away on the cloud. He seemed much calmer than Yeming.
"Mother." Yeming was still in the fox state, lying on Shuangye's legs, stepping on them with his front paws.
When his eyes fell upon the three fluffy, black tails behind his mother, Yeming revealed genuine suspicion: "Mother, why are you..."
"It's a long story." Shuang Ye touched his daughter with a smile and looked sideways at Si Ling, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Si Ling didn't want to disturb their mother-daughter reunion after tens of thousands of years. Thinking carefully, the next thing really didn't have to involve them, so he said, "You guys take a rest. Xuan Chi and I will go back to the west to deal with some minor issues."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xuan Chi, who nodded in understanding, and the two of them immediately set off for the west.
That night, the underground caves of Hohenzollern Castle were silent.
Yuan Qianzi was still sitting on the ground, and the "Xuan Chi" that had refreshed a few steps away was still standing like a puppet.
Yuan Qianzi was already a little confused about how long he had been in the cave, let alone how much longer he would stay. This feeling made him feel uneasy and helpless - he had tried every way, but he couldn't break the barrier here.
Suddenly, the "Xuan Chi" not far away suddenly disappeared.
Yuan Qianzi was startled, and then the atmosphere around him changed subtly.
The barrier that was so powerful that even his magic spells of tens of thousands of years could not break it also disappeared.
Yuan Qianzi was acutely aware of this, but he didn't take it for granted that he could leave. He stood up cautiously, his hands behind his back transforming into weapons.
His heart was tense, and he listened attentively to every sound around him, fearing a surprise attack. But soon, two large figures emerged from the stone door of the cave.
Yuan Qianzi's pupils trembled: "You..."
Si Ling stopped and smiled: "Are you so surprised to see me? My former general?"
She emphasized the word "before", but soon realized that Yuan Qianzi was not talking to her.
He stared at Xuan Chi, his eyes filled with fear, confusion and disbelief: "Impossible... Impossible! I killed you! I killed you with my own hands!"
Xuan Chi was a little surprised by Yuan Qianzi's reaction.
He always thought that Yuan Qianzi came to kill him just to be loyal to Di Jun, or else he had a personal grudge with Si Ling, but judging from Yuan Qianzi's current reaction, it seemed that there was some personal grudge between the two of them.
In Xuan Chi's eyes, he and Yuan Qianzi weren't particularly familiar with each other. While interacting with each other as fellow Seven Sacred Lords was inevitable, Yuan Qianzi had already stopped leading troops when he first started out, and they hadn't even had any work-related interactions, only simple polite exchanges in social settings.
How big a grudge can such a simple relationship cause?
Xuan Chi was puzzled and asked Yuan Qianzi frankly: "You hate me? Why?"
"You don't understand?!" Yuan Qianzi showed the same confusion and surprise as Xuan Chi, "You don't understand?!"
"Given our limited relationship, it would be strange for me to understand, right?" Xuan Chi looked at him calmly, then turned his head to look at Si Ling, his expression softened a lot, "Your Majesty, perhaps you don't understand either?"
"Haha..." Yuan Qianzi laughed dryly at himself, and then he looked refreshed. "Then you will never know."
...He really makes people uncomfortable, Si Ling thought.
But he wished.
"What don't I understand?" She sneered, "Aren't you just jealous of Xuan Chi? Jealous of his rising stardom. You've slandered him so many times in front of me, and he doesn't know it, but I know it."
Si Ling said sincerely: "I just ignored your nonsense, I'm not deaf." After that, she patted Xuan Chi's shoulder and said, "Don't mind it. If you are not envied by others, you are mediocre."
Yuan Qianzi didn't care about her ridicule, but when he saw the confusion on Xuan Chi's face turn into understanding, the joy in his heart also disappeared. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, then turned to Xuan Chi and asked, "How did you survive?"
Xuan Chi had no intention of hiding anything. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Si Ling laugh: "Hehe."
She transformed her hands into short swords and smiled kindly: "Then you will never know."
Xuan Chiping smiled and turned his head away. Hatred rose on Yuan Qianzi's face. He suddenly raised the iron whip in his hand and swung Xuan Chi away.
Si Ling stepped forward first and blocked two attacks in succession, forcing Yuan Qianzi to come and compete with her first.
However, just when Yuan Qianzi cast the first spell at her——
With a dull thud, the bronze giant sword pierced Yuan Qianzi's chest from behind. Si Ling, who was about to attack, quickly stopped to avoid being accidentally injured by the sword tip. Yuan Qianzi lowered his head in shock. When he saw the giant sword clearly, he couldn't help but open his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.
Si Ling was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and turned her head involuntarily to look at Xuan Chi.
"Ahem." Xuan Chi's guilty conscience only made it more obvious. "What's going on? Why is the Emperor's sword..."
"Okay, stop pretending." Si Ling sneered, "I saw everything that night, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be embarrassed."
"..." Xuan Chi's face froze, and he was speechless for a while before saying bitterly, "I'm embarrassed too if you tell me now."
——The souls form an alliance to protect their master.
This was the curse Xuan Chi had cast on the bronze sword after he secretly pulled out a strand of her hair late one night and ran to the cave.
At that time, he still suspected that he was the traitor in the prophecy, and his original intention of casting the curse was that if he hurt her again one day, the bronze giant sword could kill him.
But the spell obviously didn't care about that.
"Protect its master" and "destroy the evil and punish the rebels." As he completed the spell, the bronze giant sword regarded her as its master from then on, and no one could lay a hand on her.
Yuan Qianzi has won the jackpot.
