When the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi heard the news, he was shocked at first, and then an indescribable anger of being humiliated rose from the bottom of his heart. The so-called envoy on the opposite side undoubtedly came with ill intentions and regarded his Fengdu City as a soft persimmon that could come and go as he pleased and be plundered at will!

They are here to grab the treasure and gain the benefits again!

With gifts?!

The plan is very big, very big!

The veins on the forehead of the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi bulged, and anger rose from the bottom of his heart, exploding layer by layer of flames, making his face suddenly change from a gentle and simple middle-aged man to a hideous and distorted one. His eyes were red, his face was green and fangs were sharp, his hair was red like fire, and there was a faint black flame burning in the void, causing the void to tremble.

There was a sound that almost exploded from the throat, gushing out:

"You're bullying me too much!!!"

“Too much!!!”

He clenched his five fingers together, and a sword appeared in the void, held by his five fingers. There were bursts of clanging sword sounds in the void, whistling endlessly, and endless murderous intent rose from the bottom of his heart. Mixed with the previous humiliation, it made him even more angry. He almost revealed his true identity as the Ancient Ghost Emperor, and wished he could kill the Taoist with a single sword!

But when the murderous intent reached an incomparable peak, he thought of Beidi again.

I thought of that pair of cold and indifferent eyes.

His murderous intent was suppressed.

The oppression brought to him by the Northern Emperor was truly terrifying.

The murderous nature of Yu, who practices the way of stopping killing by killing, is unparalleled and has left an indelible and horrifying mark in the heart of the Central Ghost Emperor. The last time, it was because the young Taoist used the Northern Emperor's iconic magical power that he stopped abruptly. Although he was only one step away from the young Taoist, he did not dare to chop down, and was pierced through the heart by the young Taoist.

Beidi’s murderous intent remains forever.

Therefore, the frustration, anger, and boiling murderous intent in his heart were finally suppressed by Zhou Qi.

He knows.

He might be able to kill that envoy, but judging from the moves he displayed, he was an envoy who was extremely trusted by the Northern Emperor. Even one of the Northern Emperor's signature moves that was often used in the second and third calamity eras had been taught to the young Taoist. Killing him would not be a difficult task, but what would happen after that?

So what if Beidi does it himself?

Can he kill the envoy and defeat the Northern Emperor?

The central ghost emperor Zhou Qi held his sword with his palm, his face was ferocious and uncertain, sometimes he looked like a ferocious ghost, sometimes he looked like a helpless scholar, murderous aura was surging in his heart, his thoughts were fluctuating, and at one moment he had a bandit aura, at worst he could kill the envoy, and then run away, he didn't believe that the Northern Emperor would give up maintaining the order of the six realms and chase him all the way;

At one moment, he was really afraid that the Northern Emperor would really chase him thousands of miles away. His mind was in turmoil and he was unsure.

Struggle, hesitation, unwillingness, and resentment.

Many mood changes.

He glanced in the direction of the Eastern Ghost Emperor who had not yet returned.

Finally, he clasped the magic weapon in his hand.

The sound of swords clanging.

Thus, all the murderous intent in his heart was restrained and forcibly suppressed. The Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi took a deep breath, veins bulging on his forehead, and finally made a decision. Let's see what the Lord of the Mansion wants to do. If he doesn't ask for much, he will endure it this time. If he asks for too much, although he cannot kill him, he will imprison him in Fengdu and let him never see the light of day.

The Northern Emperor was strict in rewarding and punishing, so even if he came here in person to inquire, Zhou Qi would still have something to say.

It may not be someone who is punished at that time!

He took a long breath and said word by word: "Envoy, Lord, where is he?!"

"Please take a seat."

"Have a good tea."

"I will personally go and greet you."

…

As the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi walked out, he saw the Northern Ghost Emperor coming forward with a loud laugh. That bastard had a look of happiness on his face. On both sides of the central main road of Fengdu City, the other seventy chief officials of the seventy-two departments had arrived, both men and women, all wearing armor, battle robes, and jade crowns, standing on the left and right. It was such a grand occasion, almost like the arrival of the God of Heaven or the trip of the Lord of Fengdu.

Then I saw the young Taoist walking around, wearing a black robe and a black hat, with a gentle and profound demeanor.

There are people behind you who reward the good and punish the evil, and guard you on both sides.

However, he saw the one who rewards the good and punishes the evil, holding his sword and walking solemnly. It was obvious that he had forgotten that he should be the chief of the 72 departments, and had already turned his elbow outward to the side of the Northern Emperor's envoy. As a result, the murderous intent in the heart of the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi was a little violent, and he suppressed it with great difficulty, and a happy smile appeared on his face little by little.

It seemed that he was extremely happy about the arrival of the young Taoist priest.

His face was full of joy.

They greeted him all the way and led him to the residence of the Lord of the Mansion. They happily held a banquet and invited the chief envoys of the 72 departments to be present. They brought all kinds of fine wine and food in turn. They greeted the young Taoist and exchanged greetings. After toasting, the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qiqi said with a smile: "Your envoy just left last time and is back today. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Qi Wuhuo remained calm and said with a smile: "This is a great thing."

When the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi heard these words, his heart skipped a beat.

The young Taoist looked around and found that only four of the Five Ghost Emperors were present. The Eastern Ghost Emperor had disappeared. He frowned slightly and wanted to ask, but he had no reason to ask. After being stunned for a moment, the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi burst into laughter and said, "What good news is this? An envoy actually came to tell us in person?"

"Could it be that the Northern Emperor is going to return to Fengdu and take charge of the underworld?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head: "No."

The Central Ghost Emperor heaved a sigh of relief and laughed again, "So, the Lord of the Mansion is finally going to obey our wishes, break through the gates of hell, capture those ten Yama traitors, use my Fengdu to regain control of the order of the underworld, avenge the hatred, lock up those ten traitors and the thief Dizang, and then imprison them in the deepest part of the underworld, to be cut into pieces by thousands of knives, and tortured by lightning and fire?"

Qi Wuhuo looked at Zhou Qi and could hear the heated discussions in the entire Fengdu city.

It is known that these ghosts and gods in the underworld who have been suppressed for eight thousand years have extremely huge hatred towards the Ten Yama Kings and Ksitigarbha. This hatred, as well as the anger of betrayal, has been accumulated for eight thousand years, becoming stronger and stronger day by day. One day, there will be chaos in the underworld, and there will be a war!

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "Not really."

The Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi laughed and said, "Neither this nor that. I am really stupid and can't guess it."

"Please don't keep us in suspense and just speak directly."

The seventy-two chief officials were also somewhat curious, and their doubts were aroused. They all looked at the young Taoist sitting in the main seat. Only the Taoist who rewards good and punishes evil seemed to realize something, and a smile appeared on his face. Qi Wuhuo held a wine bottle, his eyes swept over these chief officials, and smiled: "This is a chance for you to break free from the seal."

The voice fell and there was silence.

The seventy-two departments are in charge of some of the activities, some are drinking, some are eating, some are chatting and laughing.

At this moment, they were all frozen.

There are so many actions, too many to count, like a painting.

There was dead silence for more than ten breaths, as if these words had directly impacted the hearts of these palm masters, stagnating their thoughts and making them unable to think about anything else. Their minds were blank, with only one thought left, and this thought was growing bigger and more intense -

OK, we are out of trouble? ! !

It has been sealed for nearly ten thousand years!

Can I go out now?!

Can I go to the world of the living, see the sky and the earth, drink as much wine as I want, and fly thousands of miles away? !

I wait, can we escape now?!

After the dead silence, there was a loud noise. A trace of ecstasy appeared on the faces of the seventy-two chief officials. They all stood up suddenly, causing the tables to overturn. The fine wine flowed on the jade steps, and the aroma of wine diffused. However, this strong aroma could not suppress the enthusiasm of the seventy-two chief officials.

"really?!"

"Your Majesty, are you joking?!"

The crowd was excited, and the young Taoist put down his wine and said, "Reward the good and punish the evil."

Then the two palm masters behind him stepped forward half a step, and stood in front of Qi Wuhuo, one on the left and one on the right, both with solemn expressions, one holding a sword, and the other holding a gun, both with the sharp blades against the ground, and then they vibrated their bodies together, and a heavy and vast aura emanated from them, which was completely different from the power of ghosts and gods in the underworld.

"This is, the God of Earth...!"

"With the help of the power of the earth god, he was named a mountain god, and then he had a place to stay in the world of the living. He could rely on this connection to travel between the world of the living and the underworld. He was the earth god and mountain god above, and the ghost god below!"

Many ghosts and gods in the underworld recognized this aura.

Then, almost immediately, he thought of the method of escaping from the predicament that Qi Wuhuo mentioned.

As for the effectiveness of this method of escaping from trouble, the two colleagues in front of him are the best evidence.

So their eyes instantly became fanatical, and their eyes looking at the reward for good and the punishment for evil were filled with extreme passion and envy.

They have been sealed under this earth for too long. The fine wine and various spiritual materials in Fengdu City have been greatly consumed during these nearly ten thousand years. Now that they have the opportunity to escape and return to freedom, how can they not be excited!

The Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi's expression was slightly gloomy.

The murderous intent that had just been suppressed in his heart began to surge again.

This made Qi Wuhuo realize that what he wanted was not the treasure, but the ghosts and gods under his command!

Using escape as bait, the intention is to completely clear out his subordinates!

For a moment, the murderous intent that had been suppressed due to fear of the Northern Emperor surged up. If the young Taoist in front of him wanted to clear out his subordinates, he would rather kill him with a sword, and then lead the crowd to fight back. With his right hand pressing the void, there was already a faint sword energy under his sleeves.

The young Taoist said, "It's just that I'm not yet familiar with this opportunity."

“So, I need fifteen places.”

Zhou Qi paused slightly.

Fifteen...

This number calmed down the Central Ghost Emperor, who was originally thought to be murderous and wanted to dig out all the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

The young Taoist smiled and said, "I am just borrowing it to try it out temporarily, and I will return it to Fengdu later."

The Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi was silent and said, "At most, twelve."

Qi Wuhuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Twelve..."

“That’s not impossible.”

He sighed slightly and said, "Since the Ghost Emperor said so, I will agree to it."

"Then the twelve underworld gods and ghosts."

Qi Wuhuo agreed too readily, which made the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi pause for a moment. He looked at the young Taoist in front of him. After all, he was afraid of the Northern Emperor and could not turn his face against him. At this moment, a strange wave suddenly emerged. The Central Ghost Emperor's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled gently and said, "In this case, I will go and get wine for the envoy."

"Congratulations."

Qi Wuhuo said: "The Ghost Emperor can go on his own."

After the Central Ghost Emperor left, Qi Wuhuo looked towards the empty Eastern Ghost Emperor's position and frowned slightly.

Zhou Qi turned into a stream of light and quickly returned to the cave where he usually lived. He looked gloomy, but he saw the Eastern Ghost Emperor there. His expression seemed to be happy, angry, and murderous. He kept changing his expression, gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to draw his sword and fight. Zhou Qi sealed the cave with his sleeves and said simply, "Second brother, how is it?"

When the Eastern Ghost Emperor saw the Central Ghost Emperor, his chest rose and fell several times. He finally suppressed his murderous aura and said through gritted teeth:

"Fortunately, as Big Brother expected, I borrowed the energy of this Lord of the Mansion to leave Fengdu and fly out of the netherworld."

"I originally wanted to go to the Heaven to question the Northern Emperor and inquire about the true identity of this messenger. I also wanted to tell the Northern Emperor that this messenger came to my Fengdu City and extorted many benefits. According to the Northern Emperor's laws, such behavior should be cut into pieces and thrown into the underworld. Even if he is the Northern Emperor's confidant, he will be severely punished!"

"But I have never seen the Northern Emperor."

"But I met another great emperor."

The Central Ghost Emperor asked: "Who is the other emperor?"

The Eastern Ghost Emperor said, "He is one of the Four Imperial Gods, the Southern Pole Immortal Emperor."

Zhou Qi saw that when his brother mentioned this matter, the anger and murderous intent on his face seemed to be unable to be suppressed. He knew that something had changed, so he urged: "What's going on?!"

The Eastern Ghost Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "I met with the Southern Emperor of Immortality and asked about the Northern Emperor's envoy."

"The Great Emperor of the South Pole said that Qi Wuhuo is not an envoy of the Northern Emperor at all!"

"He was originally a ninth-rank judge of the Exorcism Institute under the Northern Emperor, codenamed **Mo, which was nothing special. Later, he had a conflict with the Northern Emperor and had to give his status as the Northern Emperor's emissary and the identity of the Exorcism Institute back to the Northern Emperor. All ties were severed, and at this moment, he is basically just an ordinary person!"

"He's a complete liar, bro!"

"He cheated us!!!"

"His follower is a disciple of the Supreme Being, with the Taoist name Xuanwei. He holds the seal of Mount Dongyue and has the ability to command the gods of the earth."

"The Southern Emperor of Immortality said that the Northern Emperor has given up the Netherworld. If we are willing, we can join the Southern Emperor of Immortality. He is willing to protect us. The Northern Emperor and he are equally matched. There will be no problem for us to join his army. The Northern Emperor cannot do anything to the Southern Emperor of Immortality."

"Brother, that brat cheated us, we can't let him go!"

Every word spoken by the Eastern Ghost Emperor was like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi again and again.

And then, the actions of the so-called envoy last time, his own servility, and the treasure he presented because of the fierce power of the Northern Emperor, all these things made the murderous intent in his heart grow more and more, and he became more and more uncontrollable, more and more crazy and violent, until it could no longer be suppressed!

Zhou Qi's face became hideous and distorted, and finally turned into a ghost emperor with green face, fangs, and fiery red hair.

The void was shaking, filled with murderous aura, suppressing the murderous intent to rush in and tear the liar into pieces.

"What else did the Changsheng Emperor say?"

The Eastern Ghost Emperor said grimly, "The Southern Emperor of Immortality said that the fourth sister is unreliable because Senior Brother Xuanwei was the husband of the fourth sister when she was experiencing tribulations in the human world; and Taishang Xuanwei has the ability to communicate with the star of Mars, so he asked us to be careful. In addition, given the personalities of Taishang and the Three Pure Ones—"

"His disciple has gone through a tribulation here. We are here to beat him to pieces, humiliate him to death, cut him into pieces, and torture him to death."

"The Three Pure Ones won't take action either."

"The first disciple of the Three Pure Ones could only sigh."

"Since the disciples of Sanqing can kill others, others can also kill the disciples of Sanqing! Since the disciples of Sanqing humiliated and deceived others, it is only natural for us to retaliate against them!"

“Brother!”

The Central Ghost Emperor was silent for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha, what a great Tai Shang Xuan Wei, what a great Qi Wu Huo!"

"Good courage, good character, good strategy!"

"If it wasn't for the Southern Emperor Changsheng pointing it out, we would have been fooled by him!"

"Okay! Okay!"

He held the weapon, displaying the imperial aura of the strongest Ghost Emperor.

The louder the laughter, the angrier it became, causing the void to twist, Fengdu to tremble, causing the Yin Qi to run rampant, and the Yellow Spring to flow backwards. Countless dead souls around him fled, their faces frightened and hideous, and they let out silent roars. The Central Ghost Emperor stood in the endless killing, and the anger and murderous intent on his face were all restrained. He looked at the Eastern Ghost Emperor and said indifferently -

"In that case."

"Then, kill him."
