The leader's voice was deep and domineering, echoing in the young Taoist's ears, and even his Taoist robe was shaking slightly. However, the content of his words was even more shocking than the sound of the voice. The title of Zhongtian Beiyin Fengdu Emperor, the standard of this honorific, is the highest even in the Heavenly Court.

The honorable title of Emperor Donghua Shaoyang, and the Great Emperor who simultaneously holds the three special honorable titles of [Zhongtian], [Beiyin] and [The Great Emperor].

There is no comparison in terms of status and specifications.

Zhongtian is the center of the sky, surrounded by many immortals and gods.

The title of Lord Tianpeng is [Lord of the North Pole of Zhongtian], while the title of Master Xuandu, the first disciple of Taishang, was only [Emperor Lingguan] when he was still in Heaven. They each hold the titles of [Zhongtian] and [Emperor], and the title held by the leader is of the highest level. He was once the master of the 72 departments of the Netherworld, and his status was as high as that of the Four Imperial Gods.

The young Taoist raised his eyes and looked at those thousand-foot-tall, majestic and terrifying ghosts and gods. When he lowered his head, he saw that their eyeballs were bigger than his. His mind was clear, and the clear spirit of the Supreme lineage had given him a slight reminder. He immediately recalled the method of divination taught by the gentleman in gray.

The soul is reminding you.

This is a trap.

As long as I agree, I will probably be killed in an instant!

The Great Emperor of Fengdu in Zhongtian Beiyin, who can bear this honorable position, is definitely not a mere innate Qi. The Five Directions Ghost Emperors tempted him with a great name. If he agreed, he would be a liar who got the benefits of the Northern Emperor by chance. Even if he is really under the command of the Northern Emperor, they have enough reasons to send people to question him.

Otherwise, it means that the Beidi lineage has already declined.

With just a little innate qi, one can become the King of Fengdu.

The eyes of the Five Ghost Emperors were deep, revealing boundless anger and fear. They leaned over to look at the young Taoist priest held in their palms. Their eyes were deep and difficult to read. One could not tell what they were thinking, but one could feel the tremendous pressure brought by the huge monster and terrifying cultivation level.

Qi Wuhuo's spiritual spirit gave a warning.

Unlike the gentleman in gray who has a clear and unparalleled mind but never cares.

The young Taoist said calmly, "How can a mere person like me take on the title of Zhongtian Beiyin Fengdu Emperor?"

The Five Ghost Emperor lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the young man.

Soon one of them became furious and shouted angrily: "Since you are not the Zhongtian Beiyin Fengdu Emperor, you must be a thief to have so many Beidi's things?! Come and die! Watch me smash you into meat paste!" After speaking, he raised his two arms on his shoulders, clenched them into fists, and smashed them hard at the young Taoist priest. The other four ghost emperors all showed angry and terrifying expressions of death, they were all extremely tall, and their murderous intent was boundless.

Qi Wuhuo said calmly: "I am the envoy of the Northern Emperor."

The terrifying fist that seemed like a mountain falling down suddenly stopped.

The boundless turbulent flow of vital energy almost blew away Qi Wuhuo's soul. The young Taoist's white hair fell back at the temples, and his eyes were calm without ripples. His past experience as Master Wuhuo allowed him to remain calm at this moment, and he was not distracted by this horrifying scene. The punch stopped in front of him, and the terrifying vital energy gathered on it.

It's a temptation.

Otherwise, the Ghost Emperor-level vitality could directly disperse his soul.

The young Taoist looked towards the first Ghost Emperor in the deep purgatory, who was extremely tall, wearing a black robe and hidden in ink. He saw that his eyes were deep and there was an endless deathly silence on his robe. The entanglements and changes involved revealed various forms of death, all of which were extremely real, with human faces, beast skins, and even the aura of immortal officials, all revealing the fear of facing death.

The Five Ghost Emperors.

The lord of the underworld from the end of the third calamity era to the beginning of the fourth calamity era.

The strongest one under the command of Emperor Zhongtian Beiyin Fengdu ten thousand years ago from the Fourth Tribulation Period to this era.

The top hero, the strong one.

The young Taoist raised his hand, his sleeves fell down, and in his palm was the Northern Emperor's Exorcism Order.

The ** demon faced him, not showing his face to the outside world, and turned the back of the Exorcism Order to the Five Ghost Emperors. He said in an indifferent tone, with [Save the Common People] on his back, "Five Ghost Emperors, why don't you bow when you see the Order of the Northern Emperor?"

The young Taoist stood here, his sleeves moving slightly, his expression peaceful.

The first Ghost Emperor who had attacked Qi Wuhuo and had six arms and the most powerful body was half-kneeling on the ground.

One hand was placed on the ground, and the voice was as loud as a bell: "The Northern Ghost Emperor, Yang Yun, has received the order from the Northern Emperor."

The other Ghost Emperors also slowly lowered their heads. They were all a thousand feet tall, but this simple action had already stirred up the rolling waves under the Yellow Springs, reversing the vital energy into a torrent, making Qi Wuhuo's soul feel as if it was difficult for him to breathe, similar to the feeling that people in the mortal world have. The young Taoist's robe was slightly raised, and the five Ghost Emperors all lowered their eyes.

Finally, the man in black robe with an ordinary and plain face lowered his eyes, just slightly bowed, and said calmly:

"The Central Ghost Emperor, Zhou Qi from Baodui Mountain, greets the envoy."

He said he had seen the envoy, not the order from the Northern Emperor.

The Zhongtian Beiji Exorcist Institute is a general directly under the Northern Emperor. Even if the Jade Emperor cannot command them, this person is now a member of the Beiji Exorcist Institute. This envoy's identity has been proven. The Central Ghost Emperor said indifferently: "This place has been sealed for ten thousand years. I don't know what the Northern Emperor has ordered. He suddenly sent an envoy here, and he is just a low-ranking official from the Beiji Exorcist Institute who has not even entered the ninth rank?"

His tone was sharp and he looked at the young Taoist calmly.

The young Taoist took back the exorcism order and said calmly:

"There are many major events in the world, and you are just a small fry, so I will come to you."

A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the Central Ghost Emperor.

However, the more arrogant the young Taoist was, the more he was unsure. He had originally wanted to capture him and test him to confirm the outside world, but with this appearance, could it be that the Northern Emperor still had the power to rule over almost everything? So he just said, "Interesting... Then may I ask the envoy, what does the Northern Emperor want?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "No instructions."

The Central Ghost Emperor originally wanted him to get the order, but after hearing this, he was reluctant to speak, and just said slowly: "No instructions?"

"yes."

"The Northern Emperor sent me to the Netherworld to observe the changes in this place and to see the current situation of you and Fengdu City."

"I never thought that you would bring me here directly."

"I would like to ask, what do you want to do? Are you going to be an enemy of the Northern Emperor?"

The Northern Ghost Emperor seemed quite anxious, and said in a loud voice: "I have never thought of this!"

The Central Ghost Emperor said slowly: "Lord Beidi thinks that we betrayed them?!" He seemed a little angry, and said indignantly: "Think we betrayed them?! Even Lord Beidi believed the nonsense of the Ten Kings of Hell?! Do they think that they turned the tide back then? And controlled the boundary between life and death in the netherworld?!"

"At the end of the second calamity era, the Earth God and Water God of Hou Tuhuang fought with Haotian, but they were defeated. The fight was extremely brutal. Buzhou Mountain, the leader of the Earth God, was destroyed by the Water God of Heaven. The Water God then flooded the Earth God, and was later killed by the reincarnation of the gods walking on the earth in the human world."

"This struggle lasted for ten thousand years."

"Taiyi was killed, Haotian was born, and countless living beings fell into slaughter."

"It was the Northern Emperor who gathered the strongest fighting gods in the world and founded the Exorcism Institute. He used the Exorcism Institute to sweep across the six realms and killed countless beings. Only then did he establish order in this endless killing. The heavenly officials, earthly officials, and water officials did not interfere with each other, but also maintained a superficial peace, so that all living things could reproduce and thrive."

“But about ten thousand years ago, there was another fight between the Heavenly Officials and the Earthly Gods.”

"Even Hou Tu and Gou Chen from the Four Imperial Guards came out to fight and kill each other!"

"Gou Chen attacked, Hou Tu was seriously injured, and Gou Chen was not well either. The gods from all directions are going back to the conquest of the past."

"The gods in the sky fell, the earth collapsed, the netherworld lost its balance, and the kings of the human world were in chaos, life and death were out of balance, and a large number of innocent souls came to the underworld. The 72 divisions under the Fengdu City imprisoned all the immortal souls since the great catastrophes. The extremely vicious ghost king took the opportunity to incite riots. If it weren't for the few of us who suppressed Fengdu, who else could prevent Fengdu from reappearing in the world!"

"Depend on whom?! Depend on those ten pieces of trash?!"

"It was the one who bewitched them to dig up the underworld and sealed off Fengdu City with the obsession of all living beings."

"Even we who were left behind are blocked here by Ksitigarbha!"

“Hahahaha, we fought hard here, but were betrayed by our former comrades. The five of us were treated as extremely evil ghosts and sealed here. The Northern Emperor didn’t care about such a sad thing. He even said something, acknowledging the legitimacy of the underworld. Isn’t it heartbreaking!!!”

The five ghost emperors were aroused by the sad event, and they were all filled with grief and indignation. When they howled, it was as if there was a quarrel among a group of ghosts, and the sound could be heard far away. In this underworld capital, whose Ghost Gate was as magnificent as the Heaven Gate, there were faint sounds of sharp sneering, cursing and anger being aroused, and the wailing of ghosts and gods was enough to make one's faith collapse.

The [Save All Living Things] behind the young Taoist suddenly shook, and the sound of the zither was clanging, solemn and domineering, without any sense of tranquility.

Only with the sound of the piano.

He actually managed to suppress the cries of ghosts that were all over the city.

There were even a few screams of horror amid the ghost's cries.

"Destroy the Buddha and slay the emperor?!!"

"This harp is to save all living beings..."

“Who is it!!!”

"Go!"

"Run, run! Run!"

A few exclamations, then silence returned.

The Five Ghost Emperors and the young Taoist priest confronted each other.

The young Taoist no longer had the energy to care about the ancient secrets revealed by the Five Ghost Emperors.

It was difficult to determine for a moment who was right and who was wrong between the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Emperors.

Know that something needs to be said at this moment.

Otherwise it will be difficult to escape.

The spiritual prompts have almost been stretched to the limit.

Like a string of a musical instrument, if he took even one wrong step, he would be killed by the Ghost Emperor in front of him.

Moreover, in order to guard against the Arctic Exorcism Institute, their souls would be directly killed. Although the Arctic Exorcism Institute inspects the world, if they are really killed by a Ghost Emperor-level existence, even the Exorcism Institute cannot solve the problem in one go. Moreover, Qi Wuhuo believes that a dignified Ghost Emperor, who has dominated an entire calamity era, is a powerful figure that requires the Northern Emperor to take action personally.

There must be a way to put him in a state of neither life nor death, where even divination cannot discover it.

The young Taoist said calmly, thoughtfully: "Is it really like this?!"

The Central Ghost Emperor pressed his sword with his right hand, loosened it a little, and said solemnly: "Back then, you were all bewitched by those ten cowards in the underworld! Please take note of this. I only hope that the Northern Emperor can send down the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor of Zhongtian to wipe out this so-called underworld, reopen our Fengdu City, and bring our seventy-two departments back to the world!"

The other Ghost Emperors all said the same thing.

Only the Northern Ghost Emperor shouted loudly, "That's right, hahahahaha, we have spent a lot of effort to suppress ghosts over the years, the Northern Emperor must vindicate us, those Ten Direction Yama Kings are all cowards, and they have teamed up with that bald dead bald head. When we get out, we will cut open their stomachs and hang them on the trees, leaving them to be eaten by ants and mosquitoes, and kill them alive in agony!"

The Central Ghost Emperor stared at the young Taoist priest and said, "Then I'll trouble you to inform Lord Yu Beidi about this matter."

"I only hope that the Northern Emperor can go down to the netherworld and deal with this matter."

The atmosphere seemed to be relaxed.

The young Taoist's spirit was still tense.

The Central Ghost Emperor took out a cup of tea, handed it over, and said, "Please drink this cup."

The young Taoist saw that the tea was clear and had a faint fragrance, which seemed to be of great benefit to the soul. The cup suddenly became small enough for Qi Wuhuo to hold and floated in the air. The Ghost Emperor in the center said slowly: "This is the tea we brewed with the water of Fengdu. Since the envoy has come here, we must entertain him. Drink this tea, and we will let him leave."

When the young Taoist took the clear tea, his spirit tensed up and almost exploded.

The Five Ghost Emperors stared at him intently.

The eyes were deep and scary.

The Southern Ghost Emperor, whose appearance was so beautiful that Qi Wuhuo's soul would instinctively palpitate when he looked at her, and he would have an illusion similar to his heartbeat accelerating, smiled and said, "We have been waiting here for thousands of years, and finally the envoy of the Northern Emperor has arrived. Please drink from this cup."

The young Taoist looked at the tea and reached out to take it.

Then he smiled slightly, turned to the sky in the north, and poured the teacup to the ground.

“This is our encounter.”

"To honor the Northern Emperor."

Everyone was silent, and seeing the title of "Destroy Buddha and Kill Emperor" on the zither behind the young Taoist, they sensed that the craziest of the Ten Yama Lords, Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun, was tearing through the Yellow Springs and stepping towards them at a terrifying speed. The Central Ghost Emperor could not do that, and did not want to force him any further, so he said slowly: "We should respect the Northern Emperor, Honorable Envoy, we are waiting for your news in the Netherworld."

"Don't forget it."

"Hahaha, I'm here to see the envoy off!"

The Northern Ghost Emperor laughed loudly and stood up. He held up the young Taoist in one hand and held Qi Wuhuo's Blood River Sword in the other. He walked out of the place step by step. It seemed that he could not get too far away from Fengdu, but his speed was very fast. He laughed loudly and said, "Your Excellency is really brave. I have never seen anyone refuse my elder brother's face so many times."

“Hahaha, even if your cultivation is so weak, I still think you are the Northern Emperor’s respected envoy.”

"With such courage, he is the kind of person that the Northern Emperor, who can turn the tide and sway the three realms with one sword, will value. Hahahaha."

"However, your sword is really crazy. It's only half a blood river, but it wants to drink my blood. Don't say I'm just a ghost. Where does the blood come from? Even if it is, he really doesn't know how to consider the difference between himself and others... Hahaha, by the way, do you have a scabbard?"

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes and thought about what he had heard before. Hearing this, he replied gently, "No."

There is a scabbard under the Lu Zu Building in Lianyang Temple, but that is actually Lu Zu's seal for the sword.

At present, this sword is still fierce, especially after drinking the blood of demons and emperors. It has become interested in the existence of the so-called Ghost Emperor and wants to actively cut the Ghost Emperor to absorb the Ghost Emperor's spiritual power. The fierceness of this sword is getting more and more wanton. The scabbard back then could not contain this sword at all, so the Northern Ghost Emperor laughed and said:

"That's true. This sword is too fierce. How can an ordinary scabbard contain it?"

"But the sword is fierce and needs a sheath to restrain its sharpness so as not to be hurt by it. I think about it and I have an idea!"

"Your Excellency should know that in ancient times, there were three spiritual veins in the waters. One is the Yellow Spring, which washes away the obsessions of countless sentient beings."

"If an immortal crosses the underworld in his mortal body, he will often fall into hell."

"Falling back into the obsession of the eight sufferings."

"One is Weak Water, also known as the Water of the Heavenly River. No flying feather can cross it. Without extraordinary magical powers, no one can even think of setting foot in the Heavenly River."

"Of course, in the places where the star officials are, because the power of the Star Palace holds the Weak Water in place, you can still walk on it. In the places where the stars intersect, the undercurrent is turbulent and can cause immortals and Buddhas to fall."

"The third is the River of Blood, formed by the endless killing and death."

"Your sword is made of the river of blood, hahaha, then use the water of the Yellow Spring and the obsession of countless sentient beings as the scabbard!" The Northern Ghost Emperor laughed loudly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed a branch of the Yellow Spring water directly. The rolling Yellow Spring and the obsession of sentient beings turned into an ordinary and simple scabbard, and then the other hand grabbed the sword and slammed it shut.

He directly sealed the Blood River Sword into the Yellow Springs scabbard.

Then, the huge hand carefully put it on the young Taoist's side and said, "My five brothers and sisters have guarded Fengdu City for ten thousand years and have worked diligently to suppress the underworld. However, the Yama of the Ten Directions betrayed us. Please make sure to explain this to Grandpa Beidi."

As he spoke, he raised his hands. He had six arms, and with a sudden force, he slowly pushed open the Ghost Gate that was opposite the South Gate of Heaven.

The city of Fengdu opened with a thunderous sound and a majestic aura.

But the Northern Ghost Emperor's movements suddenly stopped.

The young Taoist priest, feeling slightly relieved, felt the complexity of the situation.

Outside Fengdu City.

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu is already here.
