The guard, though doubtful after hearing Chu Wanwan's words, dared not delay and hurriedly turned and ran towards the Yama's Palace to report.
At this moment, the Yama Palace was bustling with activity.
Yama, the judge, and the ox-headed and horse-faced demons were sitting around a mahjong table, having a great time playing.
With his eyes as big as copper bells, Niu Tou excitedly slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "I won again! Haha!"
Horse-face looked annoyed and muttered, "I'm having such bad luck today, I keep losing."
The judge remained stern-faced, though a hint of resentment occasionally flashed in his eyes; after all, he rarely lost a game.
Just then, the little devil rushed in and said loudly, "Your Majesty, there is a person outside who claims to be Chu Wanwan requesting an audience, saying that she has important matters to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Yama's eyes lit up. He stood up, threw down the mahjong tiles in his hand, and laughed, "Oh dear, young friend Wanwan has arrived! Quickly come with me to greet her."
The judge frowned slightly, seemingly displeased at being interrupted, but he still stood up and straightened his clothes.
The ox-headed horse and the other horse exchanged a glance, then quickly put down their cards and followed behind Yama.
A short while later, the old Yama King hurriedly walked out of the Yama King's Palace, followed by the judge, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face.
The old Yama King exuded an aura of majesty, his black robes fluttering in the wind, his face bearing a mixture of surprise and helplessness.
Is this little girl here to cause trouble for his ghost realm again?
The judge was dressed in a black robe, holding the Book of Life and Death, with a cold and stern face, never smiling.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face followed behind, one on the left and one on the right. Ox-Head was tall and muscular, with horns on his head that exuded a powerful aura. Horse-Face was tall and thin with a long, horse-like face, which looked somewhat comical, but at this moment he also had a serious expression.
"Haha, young friend Wanwan, it's been a long time!" The old Yama King's hearty laughter rang out outside the eerie Yama King's Palace, dispelling much of the chill.
Chu Wanwan bowed slightly, a faint smile on her face: "Lord Yama, how have you been? Judge, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, it's been a long time."
The judge nodded slightly, and Ox-Head grinned, saying, "Miss Chu, it's been quite a while since you've been to the Ghost Realm." Horse-Face chimed in, "Yes, yes."
Old Yama waved his hand, turned around and scolded the guarding imps: "You little devils, you have no respect for Mount Tai! How dare you so rudely obstruct young friend Wanwan's arrival? Get out of here at once!"
The guarding imps trembled with fear and hurriedly replied in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Then they disappeared into the thick fog.
Old Yama warmly took Chu Wanwan's hand and said, "Young friend, please come with me into the hall."
The group entered the Yama King's Palace, which remained as eerie as ever, but Chu Wanwan showed no fear. Yama King invited Chu Wanwan to sit down on a chair nearby, then waved his hand, and several cups of steaming tea appeared on the table.
“Young friend Wanwan, you’ve come here today for more than just to reminisce, haven’t you?” Yama picked up his teacup, took a sip, and stared intently at Chu Wanwan.
Chu Wanwan didn't touch the teacup; she had a psychological aversion to drinking tea in the ghost realm.
Her expression turned serious: "Lord Yama, as you know, the Demon Clan is making trouble again, attempting to rule the entire world. The Immortal Clan and the Elf Clan have decided to join forces to fight against the Demon Clan, and the Dragon Realm has also agreed to send troops to help. I have come here today in the hope that the Ghost Realm can also join the alliance to fight against the Demon Clan together."
Old Yama frowned, put down his teacup, and slowly said, "I have heard about the matter of the Demon Clan in the Ghost Realm. But the Ghost Realm has never easily participated in external conflicts. Moreover, the soldiers of the Ghost Realm are different from those of the Immortal Realm, the Elf Realm, and the Dragon Realm. If they die, they can go to the Ghost Realm to prepare for reincarnation. But if a ghost soldier dies, his soul is scattered."
Chu Wanwan pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a grin, "Doesn't your Ghost Realm have many wicked ghosts who have committed numerous evil deeds? The kind that have been cast into the eighteen levels of hell and will never be reincarnated. You can promise them that if you win this war between gods and demons, you will release them from the eighteen levels of hell and let them become ghost officers in the Ghost Realm. I believe many ghosts will be willing to take this opportunity!"
"That's not a bad idea! Alright, given our relationship, all the millions of evil spirits in the eighteen levels of hell can come to the battlefield to help you, as long as they're willing. I'll also assign Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and the Judge to help you!"
"That's what Yama said generously."
"Then thank you very much, King Yama. Here are some small gifts for you!" Chu Wanwan said, taking out a few divine pills. "These can help you enhance your ghostly power!"
"A divine pill! Where did it come from?" Old Yama asked in shock, looking at the faint divine aura emanating from it.
"I made it!"
"What? Only gods can refine divine pills? You're a god-level expert now?"
The judge's perpetually unchanging expression snapped.
"Peak of the Middle God Realm!"
Upon hearing Chu Wanwan's words, Yama, the judge, and even Ox-Head and Horse-Face stared wide-eyed like copper bells, their mouths agape enough to fit a goose egg.
It took Yama a while to find his voice. He jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "What? Peak of the Middle God Realm? Little friend Wanwan, what kind of elixir did you take, or did you find some peerless secret manual? It's been so long since I've seen you. Your strength has skyrocketed like a rocket!"
Chu Wanwan spread her hands and said with a grin, "Lord Yama, I cultivated all of this step by step, there are no shortcuts. But now that I have this strength, plus the power of the Ghost Realm, dealing with the Demon Clan is a piece of cake."
The judge's perpetually icy face cracked as if struck by lightning, and he stammered, "You... you little girl, you're really something else."
"If we had known you were this strong, what would have happened? We would definitely have followed you!"
"That's right!" Ox-Head and Horse-Face said, each of them swallowing a divine pill like sly sly chickens.
The moment the divine pill entered their bodies, Ox-Head and Horse-Face felt a blazing and pure power surge through their bodies, like a surging tide, recklessly washing over their demonic energy meridians.
However, this power was not violent. After the initial impact, it began to slowly merge with their own demonic power.
The bull's already robust body seemed to be infused with an even more powerful force, its muscles bulging even more, and every hair on its body stood on end, as if each one was full of power.
The flame that was already burning in his eyes now intensified, flickering and gleaming with excitement.
"What an amazing elixir! I feel full of energy now, enough to beat those demon bastards to a pulp!" Minotaur shouted excitedly, waving his fist.
Horse-face, on the other hand, felt that his body had become more agile.
His speed increased dramatically in an instant, and a faint halo seemed to circulate around his body.
He quickly circled the hall, then stopped, his face beaming with delight. "Miss Chu, this divine pill of yours is truly a treasure! I feel my ghostly power has increased at least several times!"
