Chapter 205: The Emperor of Fengdu
Lai Yang was invited by Chu Zhantian to return to the Chu family as a guest.
The Chu family is a first-class family of the human race in the fairy world. Although their strength is not as good as that of the Buddhist and demon clans, it should not be underestimated.
Chu Zhantian ordered people to set up a banquet. Everyone toasted each other, beautiful fairies danced gracefully, and the fairy music was moving.
After the lively banquet, Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan stayed at the Chu family for a while.
Until I heard that there was movement in Buddhism again.
One day, Chu Xiao hurried to where Lai Yang lived and said, "Master, there is something I think I must tell you. The Buddhist sect has made another move."
Hearing this, Lai Yang's eyes turned slightly cold. He felt nauseous when he heard the word "Buddhism".
"What's wrong? What are they going to do now?" Lai Yang asked puzzledly.
Chu Xiao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "It is said that there is a problem with the reincarnation path in the underworld. The Buddhists forcibly intervened in the underworld and a conflict broke out with the underworld."
"Also, no one knows what happened inside the Samsara Path. It has collapsed now, and countless wronged souls and evil ghosts from the underworld have escaped from it."
"What? Something happened on the Samsara Path?"
Hearing this, Lai Yang couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that inside the path of reincarnation there is the powerful Wu Tu Niangniang, who is close to the state of transcendence.
But now the path of reincarnation has collapsed? Could it be that the Goddess of Wu Tu has been murdered by the Buddhist sect?
The figure that was sealed deep in the road of reincarnation by the will of heaven emerged in Lai Yang's mind, and he couldn't help but feel heavy and uncomfortable in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, Lai Yang decided to go to the underworld to see the situation.
"Ruyan, you stay here for a while. I'm going to the underworld to find out what's going on." Lai Yang said firmly.
Afterwards, Lai Yang turned to look at Chu Xiao and asked, "Chu Xiao, please take good care of your mistress for me. I'll be back soon."
“Master, the underworld is now in chaos and has lost its original order. Buddhism has destroyed the path of reincarnation. It is too dangerous.” Chu Xiao said with a frown, his eyes showing some worry.
"Don't worry, I will go there alone. No one can do anything to me, whether it is the underworld or Buddhism. Besides, I am just going to take a look. If there is any danger, I will leave and escape immediately. If I want to escape, no one can stop me." Lai Yang said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Seeing this, Chu Xiao knew that he couldn't persuade Lai Yang, so he nodded immediately: "In this case, Master, you must be careful. Also, take this thing with you, maybe it can help you find Senior Wu Tu."
As he spoke, Chu Xiao took out the scale that Wu Tu had given him earlier from the storage space and handed it to Lai Yang.
Lai Yang felt Wu Tu's aura from the scales in Chu Xiao's hand, and without being polite, he slowly reached out and took Wu Tu's scales: "Okay."
Mo Ruyan, who was standing aside, looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Lai Yang, I will be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor soon. I will not be a burden to you. If you die, I will definitely ask the Buddhist sect to bury you with me."
"You should practice well in the Chu family. Fellow Daoist Wu Tu and I have a history. I can't just sit there and watch. I'm just going to take a look. If there's any danger, I'll run away. Don't worry." Lai Yang stepped forward and gently embraced Mo Ruyan in his arms, then separated, "I'm leaving."
Lai Yang raised his hand to tear the void, turned back and glanced at Chu Xiao: "In an emergency, please help me say goodbye to your father."
After saying that, Lai Yang did not hesitate any longer and walked into the space channel resolutely.
Soon, Lai Yang crossed the boundary between life and death and came to the first hurdle after death: the gate of hell.
However, what Lai Yang did not expect was that the gate of hell in front of him had become so dilapidated that it looked as if it had been broken down by someone.
Lai Yang did not hesitate, as he crossed the gates of hell and headed for the underworld.
Right now, there are a large number of unattended ghosts on the Yellow Springs Road, wandering aimlessly.
Lai Yang arrived at the Naihe Bridge, which had already broken. Nearly half of the bridge had collapsed and disappeared. The bone-chilling yin energy around him became increasingly dense.
There were also traces of a powerful Buddhist battle, with a large handprint on the ground.
"How could this happen? Why did the Buddhist sect suddenly attack the underworld? And the attack was so decisive and ruthless that the entire underworld was destroyed."
Lai Yang felt a little more heavy-hearted. He then took out the scales shed from Wu Tu's body and headed to the deepest part of the underworld based on the aura on the scales.
Suddenly, several powerful ghost kings tried to attack Lai Yang and devour his flesh and blood, but he killed them with a single sword.
The deeper you go into the underworld, the stronger the surrounding ghosts become, and the situation in the underworld is already out of control.
Suddenly, an irresistible force pulled Lai Yang's body and the storm was sucked in.
When Lai Yang came to his senses, he appeared in a familiar place, with red spider lilies all over the ground under his feet and the dark water of the Netherworld River all around him.
Looking into the distance, a beautiful figure was bound by the chains of the will of heaven, but at this time, Queen Wu Tu looked quite tired.
With a look of fatigue and weakness, Empress Wu Tu opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Lai Yang not far away and said, "You are here."
"Fellow Daoist, what happened? Who hurt you?" Lai Yang stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's the two Buddhist emperors. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao sensed that the Underworld was about to escape its suppression and control, so it sent the two Buddhist emperors to suppress and disperse my soul, so that I can continue to be the medium for suppressing the Underworld. I was injured and I just need to rest for a while. Their situation is worse than mine. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao's power protecting them at the critical moment, I would have killed them both in this cycle of reincarnation."
Speaking of the word "Heavenly Way", Wu Tu Niangniang's eyes revealed deep hatred and unwillingness, and her voice was icy and chilling.
The Goddess Wu Tu looked up at Lai Yang and said in a clear voice, "Daoyou, you are here just in time. I have something to ask of you."
"Just say it." Hearing this, Lai Yang neither agreed nor refused, and said lightly.
"I need to rest for a while now and cannot fight with others easily. The Heavenly Dao has already noticed that the Earthly Dao is breaking away from its suppression. During this time, I want to help the Earthly Dao completely break free from the Heavenly Dao's suppression. I need your help."
"Buddhism has destroyed the order of the underworld, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the underworld. The underworld has long been completely infiltrated by Buddhism, and now it has been exposed in advance. I am planning to take this opportunity to clear all the thieves from Buddhism out of the underworld. Are you willing to help me again?"
Lai Yang pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I have long disliked those guys in the Buddhist sect, but how can I help you?"
“I appoint you as the King of Fengdu in the underworld, and you will be in charge of everything in the underworld on my behalf. You can make all decisions on matters big or small in the underworld. I have no other requirements. I don’t want to see another Buddhist in the underworld.” A horrifying murderous intent flashed across the eyes of the Goddess Wu Tu, and for an instant even the entire reincarnation path trembled slightly.
Hearing this, Lai Yang stood there, hesitated for three seconds, and suddenly nodded heavily: "Okay."
The next moment, Wu Tu Niangniang took out an identity token representing the Emperor of Fengdu and handed it to Lai Yang. She slowly opened her mouth and made a promise: "From now on, you are the new Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld that I have appointed. From now on, the underworld will be handed over to you. Fellow Taoist, please don't let me down. If you encounter any trouble that you cannot solve, you can call my real name and I will take action to clear everything for you."
Lai Yang took the token from the hand of the Goddess Wu Tu. The words "Fengdu" were engraved on the front and back respectively. The faint aura emanating from it made people feel frightened.
"I can be considered to have been given a mission in a time of crisis." Lai Yang smiled faintly, thinking to himself, "Fengdu Emperor, I have heard of his name many times before, but I never thought that I would become the Emperor of Fengdu one day. It is really... fate that plays tricks on me."
"Everything in the underworld will be handed over to you from now on. I am about to fall into a deep sleep. It will take at most a thousand years for me to help the underworld escape the suppression and control of the heaven. Please do not disturb me during this period unless necessary."
"good."
Lai Yang nodded and agreed.
Then, Lai Yang left the path of reincarnation and reappeared in the underworld.
Now that the safety of Empress Wu Tu has been confirmed, there is nothing to worry about for the time being.
The two Buddhist emperors mentioned by the Goddess Wu Tu should be the half-step transcendental masters behind the Buddha of the West.
From what she said, their injuries were far more serious than those of Wu Tu Niangniang.
In this case, there would be no pressure for him to deal with Buddhism.
As long as the strong man in the half-step transcendence realm does not take action, even if the peak Immortal Emperor comes, he will not be able to do anything to him.
Thinking of this, Lai Yang's mouth corners slowly raised into a dangerous arc.
"Buddhism, you have plotted against me many times and tried to kill me. Now it is my turn to fight back, starting from the underworld."
The eighteen levels of hell in the underworld have all fallen into a state of disorder and chaos. The imprisoned vicious ghosts have been released. Powerful evil ghosts can be seen everywhere devouring other ghosts to increase their own strength.
The ghost messenger from the underworld was hung on an iron tree by evil ghosts, forced to walk through mountains of knives and seas of fire, and was cut into pieces.
The evil ghosts who had been tortured by the ghost officials for many years began to take revenge on them frantically, and they all looked very excited.
Seeing this scene, Lai Yang frowned, and with a casual sword he killed a large number of evil spirits, causing their souls to fly away.
Lai Yang rescued the ghosts who looked like ghost messengers. When they saw Lai Yang's grateful expression, and sensed the faint imperial power emanating from him, their faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly shouted respectfully: "Little ghosts greet the Immortal Emperor, thank you for your help."
Lai Yang nodded calmly, then took out the token representing the Emperor of Fengdu and said in a cold voice: "I am the new Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld. From now on, everything in the underworld will be under my full control. If I encounter any rebellious ghosts or Buddhists, I will kill them without mercy."
Upon hearing this, the ghost officials were shocked and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hasn't the position of Fengdu Emperor been vacant for thousands of years? The human immortal emperor in front of him is actually the new Fengdu Emperor of the underworld? How is this possible?
However, the aura of the token in the other party's hand made them feel the urge to kneel down in submission, because it was clearly the aura of the person in the Road of Reincarnation!
In just a moment, the ghosts made the decision.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is not up to them, the little ghosts, to make the final decision on this matter. It is a good thing for them that the other party is willing to help the underworld.
As for what happens next, it will be decided by the Lord Yama in the underworld, and it has nothing to do with them.
"Little ghost, obey your command!" the ghost officials shouted loudly.
Lai Yang didn't waste any more words with them. He put away the token of the King of Fengdu and said calmly, "Follow me and suppress the rebellion in the underworld first."
"yes."
In this way, Lai Yang killed his way through the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld, rescuing the ghost officials who had not yet died, and at the same time gathered the ghost officials of the underworld to deal with the evil ghosts who were causing trouble.
Unknowingly, the size of Lai Yang's team grew larger and larger, and those evil spirits who did not escape from the underworld but chose to act arrogantly in hell were killed one after another by Lai Yang's sword.
What he didn't expect was that killing ghosts in the underworld could actually trigger the system to increase attribute points.
The underworld is the hub of life and death for the entire fairy world, and there are countless ghosts imprisoned there.
Even if some normal ghosts were excluded, the ghosts imprisoned deep in the eighteen levels of hell were enough for him to kill to his heart's content.
After realizing this, Lai Yang did not restrain his murderous intent, but became even more unscrupulous.
Any disobedient evil ghosts in hell will be killed with one sword, and any ghosts that escape from the place of imprisonment will also be killed with one sword.
Soon, Lai Yang's notoriety spread throughout the Eighteen Levels of Hell. All the evil ghosts still left in the Eighteen Levels of Hell knew that a killer god had come to the underworld who liked to kill ghosts indiscriminately. In a short period of time, the number of ghosts who died at his hands was at least hundreds of millions, if not eighty million, and the number of victimized ghosts was still increasing rapidly.
Even the ghost officials were shocked by Lai Yang's decisive and ruthless killing methods, and there was deep awe and fear in their eyes.
This King of Fengdu has a very murderous nature. He is probably the most murderous among all the Kings of Fengdu in history.
Although the former King of Fengdu would also use thunder and lightning to suppress the evil spirits causing chaos in hell, he would not commit murder so unscrupulously.
Because their goal is to suppress the rebellion in Hell, and the man in front of them looks like he's killing ghosts just for the sake of killing ghosts. Will he kill them all on a whim?
The ghost officials following Lai Yang couldn't help but think anxiously in their hearts.
Soon, almost all of Hell was slaughtered by Lai Yang alone.
The ghost officials were all silent and dared not speak.
Lai Yang turned around to look at the ghost officials around him and gave orders: "Go tell the other ghosts that if they don't want to die, go back and be punished and wait for reincarnation. Otherwise, I don't mind letting their souls fly away."
Hearing this, the ghost officials nodded in agreement as if they had been pardoned, and then left in groups to help suppress the rebellions of ghosts in other hells.
Those evil spirits were suppressed in hell and tortured. Now that they are free again, they are definitely not that easy to subdue.
Only by killing them until they are terrified will they choose to obey.
Even if all hells were emptied, Lai Yang wouldn't care, he didn't have the compassion of a saint.
Furthermore, Lai Yang is outside the Three Realms and not among the Five Elements. Cause and effect karma cannot affect him in the slightest. He does not have to worry that excessive killing will cause the Heavenly Dao to kill him.
Even if the Heavenly Dao really wants to take action against him, he has the support of the Goddess of the Underworld to resist.
It won’t be long before the Heavenly Dao will kneel down before his sword and sing the song of conquest.
