They almost hurt Qin Yunie just now. If it weren't for the many talismans on her body, they wouldn't have been able to deal with it immediately.
If she didn't have that many talismans...
Or perhaps she was already dead when the King of Hell came...
The thought of this made him feel dizzy. Offending the King of Hell meant that not only him, but the entire Xuanzhen Sect was no match for him; it was just a matter of a word from the King of Hell.
Qin Yunie was unaware of his thoughts. Only after hearing the sound did she peek out from behind Yama to look ahead.
At this moment, those Xuan Masters who had just been attacking her with great momentum were now a pile of 'corpses' on the ground. They were all lying on the ground, their breaths barely moving, groaning softly, unable to even make a loud sound.
"I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. I didn't know she was your person. Please forgive us, you are a magnanimous person." The Xuan Master's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. His voice trembled as he kept kowtowing to the King of Hell, begging for mercy. His forehead was scraped and blood stained the ground, but he seemed oblivious and continued to kowtow desperately.
As if afraid that the King of Hell would think he wasn't sincere enough, he put in all his effort with each gulp.
Another Xuan Master panicked and hurriedly pointed to the man covered in bandages hiding at the back of the crowd, saying, "Your Majesty, it was him! He said this woman... no, he said this young lady injured him. It has nothing to do with us!"
The others were either unconscious or so badly injured that they couldn't even beg for mercy.
The Xuan Master, whose body was wrapped in bandages, tried to escape, but Yama grabbed him by the neck from a distance and lifted him up.
His face was flushed from lack of oxygen, and he kept hitting the ground with his hands, trying to break free. His body swayed in mid-air, "Let...let me go..."
After a long while, he finally threw the person away, sending them crashing into a tree before they fell to the ground.
He braced himself and began to cough violently.
"Cough cough cough—"
Qin Yunie blinked as she looked at the scene before her, and it took her a long time to realize that it was all real. The King of Hell had arrived, and she had survived.
Qin Yune gazed at the King of Hell and murmured, "King of Hell..."
Upon hearing the voice, Yan Wenjing suppressed his chill, turned around, frowned as he looked her over, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Qin Yune shook his head. "It's nothing."
Even after hearing her say that, Yan Wenjing still looked her over carefully to make sure she wasn't injured before saying, "Sorry I'm late."
Qin Yunie felt inexplicably uncomfortable being scrutinized, so she smiled and said, "If you had come any later, I would have gone down to see you and been under your control."
Yan Wenjing said firmly, "No."
Qin Yunie was taken aback upon hearing this. What could it be?
Is it that they won't arrive too late, or that they won't let her really die?
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak looked at Yan Wenjing and said jokingly, "Why are you in such a hurry? It turns out that Little Yu Nie is in danger?"
Qin Yunie looked over upon hearing the voice and discovered that it was the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak. He quickly called out, "Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak."
But what did the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak mean by what he just said?
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak glanced at the group of Xuan Masters, then looked at Qin Yune and asked with concern, "Little Yune, are you alright?"
She shook her head quickly. "I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak glanced at Yan Wenjing and complained, "Luckily you're alright, otherwise I would have been a sinner. You have no idea, this guy tore through space to get back from the extreme cold, and he still wasn't fast enough. He rushed all the way back, and I almost couldn't keep up several times."
Upon hearing what the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak said, Qin Yune subconsciously turned to look at Yan Wenjing.
So, the reason why King Yama couldn't arrive in time was because he went to an extremely cold place?
No wonder he still had so much snow on him that hadn't melted yet; it meant he really did rush back as soon as he received her signal.
Extremely cold places...
Tear space apart.
Although she didn't know where the extremely cold place they were talking about was, those two words alone were enough to show that it was really far away.
Furthermore, for the King of Hell to personally travel such a far distance, it must be something very important. However, in his haste to return, even the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak nearly lost his way, arriving a little late.
But in reality, only a few minutes had passed between when she smashed the jade pendant and when the King of Hell arrived.
In just a few minutes, the King of Hell returned from the frigid land, which warmed Qin Yune's heart.
Wasn't he afraid that she might have just accidentally broken the jade pendant? And that he might have rushed back from so far only to find it was just an accident?
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenjing frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Don't you have anything to do? If you don't, then continue investigating."
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak rolled his eyes at him, "Tsk, I'm helping you, and instead of being grateful, you're kicking me out. You don't appreciate my kindness."
Yan Wenjing frowned. "You talk too much."
Just then, Meng Po appeared, looked at the battlefield that had already ended, and blinked, "I think I'm too late?"
King Yama was the first to notice Meng Po's appearance, but he only glanced at her. The Eastern Peak Emperor, who was standing next to her, said slowly, "You're not late, but some people probably find us an eyesore."
Meng Po glanced thoughtfully at the King of Hell standing in front of Qin Yune, then at Qin Yune, whose body was only partially visible. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
When Qin Yune saw that Meng Po had arrived, he quickly called out, "Sister Meng!"
Meng Po nodded and explained, "Yes, I'm sorry, there are ghosts causing trouble on the Bridge of Helplessness. I just saw your message. I see your yard was badly damaged. Are you alright?"
Qin Yunie didn't mention the difficulties of the process, but simply shook her head, "No, it was all thanks to the King of Hell's help, otherwise I'm afraid I would have had to go down there to keep Sister Meng company."
Upon hearing this, Meng Po pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like a bad idea for us to guard the Bridge of Helplessness together. Besides, you're the one who prepared the Meng Po soup again."
Qin Yunie: "..."
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak clicked his tongue twice, "You really dare to think that way."
Meng Po smiled and said, "I can't help it, Xiao Yu Nie is my sister now, I have to take care of her. But what brings you here, Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak felt his cheeks twitch slightly. He raised his chin at Yan Wenjing with annoyance, "I followed this guy all the way back, and we almost got lost somewhere else, but he still complained that I was too idle."
Upon hearing the explanation from the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, Meng Po's beautiful eyes widened in slight surprise. The fact that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak almost fell to another place was enough to give one pause for thought.
However, this also shows how much Yama values Xiao Yu Nie.
