After Shu Jianyue finished speaking, she turned to the Ghost King and asked, "What, you've all made your move, but you can't tell me the reason?"
The Demon King looked at her and asked, "Whose person are you?"
Shu Jianyue raised her eyelids and looked at him, asking, "Just because someone didn't give you the confidence to act doesn't mean you can't speak?"
"Tell me you won't suffer a loss, otherwise, when I become impolite, you'll be the one who suffers."
Du Mu scrutinized her, his brows furrowing deeper with each look. "Are you one of Yama's men?"
Shu Jianyue looked down at herself. "How do I look like Yama?"
"Alright, tell me, who gave you this idea, the God Emperor?" Who else could it be but him?
Tai Mu squinted at her, "You are not one of the God Emperor's people."
"Who told you I'm one of the God Emperor's men?" Shu Jianyue sneered. "Don't you know that the God Emperor has no control over the Ghost Realm?"
"The Ghost Realm is a separate entity, and the Yama King was appointed by the Primordial Supreme Venerable Youying. Even if the current Yama King is gone, none of you Ghost Kings will ascend to the throne."
"Although I don't know what will happen if this Yama King dies, you rebellious ghost kings will probably be reduced to ashes."
"Don't spout nonsense! The God Emperor governs all things in heaven and earth, how could he not govern the Ghost Realm!" Gong Chengying didn't believe her words. In his eyes, the God Emperor was heaven, and no one could be greater than him.
Shu Jianyue glanced at him and laughed, "Who told you that the God Emperor rules over all things in the world?"
"Let me give you a basic introduction to the hierarchy of the upper gods."
"In the Upper God Realm, those above the level of God Venerable are no longer under the jurisdiction of the God Emperor. He can assign tasks, but if they are unreasonable, even a God Venerable can refuse to accept them."
"The Cloud-Inlaid God Venerable controls the wind and rain of the world. The God Emperor can offer his opinions, but he cannot control the Cloud-Inlaid God Venerable's actions."
“Every god who governs a region is the same; without a reasonable reason, the God Emperor cannot interfere with matters under their jurisdiction.”
"You know the God of Jiuze, right? He is even higher in status than the God Emperor, and he can also influence the selection of the God Emperor."
“If even the God Emperor can’t control the God Venerable, then what kind of God Emperor is he…” Gong Chengying said, and carefully looked up.
Shu Jianyue smiled and shook her head, not explaining to him what the God Emperor could control, and looked at Dai Mu, asking, "Can you tell me now?"
"If you won't talk, then I'll have no choice but to take you back for interrogation."
Du Mu didn't understand the Upper God Realm, but he didn't believe what she said either. His thoughts were the same as Gong Chengying's: how could a God Emperor not be able to control a God Venerable?
Upon hearing that he was the head who controlled all things in the world, how could the God Emperor possibly allow himself to be controlled by the God Venerable?
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was of himself. He looked at Shu Jianyue, sized her up, and chuckled, "Are you sure you can take both of us away by yourself?"
Shu Jianyue glanced at Gong Chengying and said, "If you are obedient, I will take you along. He is just a nobody who knows nothing."
"You'd better think this through. If I really make a move, your valley will be finished."
In Dai Mu's opinion, Shu Jianyue was not strong, because she did not have the sharp and imposing aura of a powerful person with high cultivation; she was more like a girl next door who came to play.
"I'd like to see just how powerful you are."
Shu Jianyue clicked her tongue, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dai Mu was unable to move, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.
He stared at her in terror, "Who...who are you?"
"Didn't I say that the Upper God Realm sent you to investigate the reason for your disturbance?" Shu Jianyue stood up and turned around to see Gong Chengying trying to slip away.
"Patriarch Gong, where are you headed?"
Shu Jianyue had no intention of letting this person go. Even though he was useless, she still had to bring him back to the King of Hell.
He is indeed a strategist.
As Shu Jianyue carried the two people to the entrance of the valley, she saw a group of ghosts surrounding her, staring at her with their big, copper bell-shaped eyes.
His spiritual energy materialized and pressed against the necks of Dai Mu and Gong Chengying respectively, and he laughed, "Make way, okay?"
The group of ghosts quickly parted to make way for them.
Seeing how obedient they were, Shu Jianyue decided not to touch them anymore, otherwise diverting the water would have flooded the entire valley.
As Shu Jianyue led Dai Mu and Gong Chengying out of the valley, they saw the demons and monsters that Yan Huang had mentioned, as well as some unexpected fellows.
"Zhong Song? You've betrayed the Lord?"
Zhong Song shook his head, took a step back, and then took a step forward a moment later.
Shu Jianyue knew he couldn't speak, so she didn't say anything more, but instead looked at the few demons and monsters.
Well, they're all pretty ugly. They're not very big, and their body shape is similar to a human's, except some have horns on their heads, some have tails, some have four arms, and some have one eye.
"You want to save them both?"
Zhong Song took another step forward and pointed at Shu Jianyue.
Shu Jianyue pointed to herself and asked, "You've come to see me?"
Zhong Song nodded.
Shu Jianyue narrowed her eyes. They had only been here a short time, yet the people behind them already knew!
Where is your master?
Zhong Song pointed behind him again.
Shu Jianyue thought for a moment, then knocked out Dai Mu and Gong Chengying and threw them into the space. Then she followed Zhong Song in the direction he pointed, transmitting her voice to Chong Jiu as she walked.
She's not stupid. Who knows what kind of strength that person has? If she doesn't inform Chong Jiu, what if she goes there and never comes back?
Zhong Song took a few steps and then stopped, extending his hand to Shu Jianyue, gesturing for her to come up.
Shu Jianyue recalled the way he used to run with the Yama Emperor in his arms, smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need, you lead the way, I can keep up."
Zhong Song tilted his head, looked at her for a while, and then turned around to continue leading the way.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at a patch of red mist. Zhong Song chattered away inside, and the red mist in front of them parted to reveal a straight path.
"Impressive." Shu Jianyue followed Zhong Song inside.
As he walked, Zhong Song occasionally let out low growls.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue used her spiritual power to look around. She was shocked to find that all around her were menacing creatures, uglier than demons and monsters.
After passing through the red mist, a very elegant city gate came into view, but the guy standing under the city gate was not so elegant.
Shu Jianyue followed Zhong Song into the city and saw that the streets were deserted, with only a few ghosts moving around.
Zhong Song led her to the city lord's mansion in the center of the city, shouted a couple of times inside, and then stepped aside to signal Shu Jianyue to go in.
Shu Jianyue glanced at him and walked straight inside.
As soon as she entered, the gates of the city lord's mansion were immediately closed.
Shu Jianyue glanced back and continued walking inside. When she saw the person coming out, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Approaching her was a sweet-looking young girl with her hair styled in two buns and wearing a flowing gauze dress.
The young girl bowed to her and said, "Venerable Shu, please come with me. My master is waiting for you inside."
