"Heh, you still remember me? I thought you were about to become emperor." After saying that, Yan Huang slapped him with his palm, sending him flying into the artificial hill behind him.
“Tell me, who gave you the courage to rebel?”
"What, don't you know that even without me, you wouldn't have a chance to become the next Yama King?"
"Before challenging my imperial authority, you didn't even bother to check if you were even qualified to touch me."
Tuomu coughed lightly as he crawled out from among the rubble, looked at him and said, "If it was brought by the God Emperor's people, then as long as you are gone, who will be the next Yama Emperor is still up to the God Emperor."
"Ha, how stupid." Yan Huang shook his head, rubbing his forehead. "Indeed, what could a bunch of frogs in a well know?"
"I was appointed by the Primordial Supreme. If I perish before a new Yama King descends, the entire Ghost Realm will be buried with me."
"So, all your trouble in killing me will only lead to the collapse of the Ghost Realm, where everything will be reduced to ashes, including you."
Taimu stared at him wide-eyed in disbelief. "Impossible!"
How could it be true, as that woman said, that the God Emperor has no control over the affairs of the Ghost Realm?
If Yama (the King of Hell) is gone, the Ghost Realm will also be gone!
Yama clicked his tongue and continued, "Don't forget, when I came to the Ghost Realm, you weren't even here yet."
"Even judges must be born from the ghost realm, let alone the King of Hell. Are your brains just for show?"
"If it's just for looking at, then it shouldn't be so ugly."
Du Mu was completely stunned; he had no choice but to believe it now.
Because two of the three judges were gone, only one judge, Zeus, remained.
Rumor has it that Yama is searching for something in the Ghost Realm. Could it be that he is looking for two other new judges?
Looking at his dazed expression, Yama shook his head and continued, "If it weren't for the Supreme Lord's disapproval of so many souls and ghosts wandering aimlessly, he wouldn't have created this Ghost Realm."
"After she founded the Ghost Realm, she took you all in and even created a series of rules. What do you think it was for, hmm?"
"Everything here was given to you by the Venerable One, yet you are still not satisfied."
"Once you become the King of Hell, will your next step be to leave this dark realm of ghosts and march towards the Divine Land?"
After Yan Huang finished speaking, he stood up and approached Dai Mu in a cold voice, saying, "Don't worry, I will grant your wishes. I will not only let you go to Shenzhou, but also let you go to the Upper God Realm."
"You can ask that God Emperor yourself when the time comes whether he can appoint the King of Hell in the Ghost Realm."
Gong Chengying, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, couldn't help but squirm for a moment upon hearing this.
However, the King of Hell ignored him and continued to stare at Dai Mu, saying, "Go and summon the rest of you to me. Those who are unwilling, I will deal with them one by one."
"Those who are willing, I will personally take them to the Upper God Realm for a good tour."
Mo Mu looked at him for a while, then hesitated and said, "The person who came to persuade us was a man wearing a pure white mask. He said he was the God Emperor's right-hand man, named Ban Heng."
Yan Huang narrowed his eyes, "Ban Heng?"
"Yes, we only believed him after he produced the God Emperor's token and edict."
Yama waved his hand thoughtfully, "Go and inform the other ghost kings."
Du Mu ran away as if fleeing.
Yan Huang then looked at Gong Chengying on the ground. However, he didn't want to question him now; he needed to tell Chong Jiu what Du Mu had said.
He hoisted Gong Chengying up and left to find Chong Jiu.
Gong Chengying opened her eyes after he left, looked around, and began to think about how to escape.
Yan Huang came to Chong Jiu and looked at him quietly.
Shu Jianyue's eyelids twitched. "What are you doing?"
The King of Hell clicked his tongue before saying, "All of this in the Ghost Realm was orchestrated by Ban Heng. He used the God Emperor's token to make promises to those Ghost Kings, which led to this whole mess."
"Ban Heng did this?" Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu in surprise. "It seems he's been hiding a lot."
Yama stroked his chin and asked, "Do you think it's possible that I offended Wujie that day, which is why he sent Banheng to mess with my Ghost Realm?"
Chong Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is a way out that Ban Heng has left for himself."
"A way out?" Yama was puzzled.
"He can't possibly kill me and inherit my throne, can he?"
“Maybe he thinks he can.” Chong Jiu looked up at him.
"What do you need me to do now?"
Yama shook his head. "No need. When those ghost kings arrive, we'll go to the Upper God Realm together to find Wujie. They are excellent witnesses."
“If they don’t want to live, I’ll just go and kill them. The Ghost King isn’t a judge. I’ve already killed two judges, let alone the Ghost King.”
Chong Jiu nodded and said nothing more.
"What about Gong Chengying? Was he also brought in by Ban Heng?" Shu Jianyue asked.
Yan Huang shook his head, "I haven't interrogated him yet. He's not anyone important. It's fine to interrogate him later."
"Tell me what happened just now. Where did those demons and monsters come from? Why are you looking at me like I'm watching a show?"
Shu Jianyue smiled and asked, "Do you know Xing Guyu?"
Yan Huang was stunned. After regaining his senses, his voice rose considerably, "Who?"
“Xing Guyu, Zhongsong’s original owner.” Shu Jianyue looked at him with a smile.
The King of Hell was truly stunned.
Wu Yan and Bai Jue walked over and, seeing Yan Huang's dazed expression, couldn't help but look at Shu Jianyue, who was smiling.
"Master, has he gone mad?"
Shu Jianyue smiled and nodded, "I guess so..."
Looking at Wuyan, her smile froze on her face.
Wu Yan blinked and looked at her. "Master, what's wrong?" Her suddenly frozen expression was quite frightening.
"Yan'er, take off the ribbon for a moment," Shu Jianyue said hurriedly.
Although Wu Yan didn't know what she was going to do, she obediently untied the ribbon binding her eyes.
Seeing his eyes, Shu Jianyue finally understood why Xing Guyu's eyes looked so familiar.
"Alright, take it with you."
As Wu Yan put the silk back on, he asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Chong Jiu and Bai Jue also looked at her.
Shu Jianyue pulled him over, drew him to her side, and looked at Yan Huang, asking, "Yan Huang, don't you recognize this Xing Guyu?"
Yan Huang's lips twitched, and his eyes reddened as he looked at her and asked, "Where is she?"
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow. "She said you owe her an apology. If you want those demons and monsters to leave, you have to apologize to her in person. Only after she forgives you will she remove them."
"Tell me, where is she?" Yan Huang glared at her anxiously.
"The area covered by that red mist is her territory. Go there, and she should know." As soon as Shu Jianyue finished speaking, Yan Huang disappeared.
