Hearing the door open, Li Qirui looked up and saw that it was Gao Kexin. Remembering that Li Qicheng was still in the corridor, his expression changed slightly, and he spoke with a hint of seriousness:
Why are you here?
Gao Kexin first looked down at Li Muhao, who was lying stiffly on the bed, before walking to Li Qirui's side.
"Uncle, I've come to check on Mu Hao. If he doesn't wake up, please let me bleed a little!"
Hearing Gao Kexin's answer, Li Qirui was somewhat moved and pointed to the single sofa next to him, indicating that Gao Kexin should sit down.
When Gao Kexin sat down, she turned to look at Li Qirui and muttered a few words that were hard to understand.
Li Qirui first looked at Gao Kexin with a puzzled expression, but when she stopped speaking, he assumed he had misheard and did not ask any further questions.
"Don't you think the Li family should split up? The old man might not make it through the next phase, so you should step up and take charge of all the Li family's affairs."
Li Qirui thought he was hallucinating and glanced at Gao Kexin in surprise. Seeing Gao Kexin looking at him with a cold smile, Li Qirui suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"What did you say?"
When Li Qirui asked the question, their eyes met briefly. Before Li Qirui could react, everything went black...
"Yes! I should think about how to divide the family property; it's time."
Li Qirui appeared no different from usual when he spoke, but it was easy to see from the shadows that there was a faint bloody glow on his body under the light, and even a bloody light would occasionally flash in his eyes.
Seeing that Li Qirui was starting to think along the lines of her words, Gao Kexin was overjoyed and smiled as she spoke to him again:
"Of course, most of the money will be given to you. The others can just get a small share to ensure they live comfortably."
As Gao Kexin finished speaking, Li Qirui's voice rang out.
"Of course, it's all mine! After all, the Li family's strength needs to be concentrated in order to survive for a long time. In order for the Li family to continue to exist, those few must not be allowed to take away the family property!"
Just as Gao Kexin was trying to control Li Qirui, Xiao Yanbao in the underworld finally received the judge who said he was going to make some preparations.
However, when the unlucky guy returned, his aura was noticeably weaker, and his eyes had become somewhat vacant.
Xiao Yanbao and Li Muhao, with slightly apologetic expressions, bowed and paid their respects to the judge who entered the room with solemn faces.
"Your Majesty the Judge!"
However, the judge only accepted Li Muhao's bow. When Xiao Yanbao bowed, the judge quickly moved aside to make room.
"Alright, let's get ready to go back!"
Just as the judge was about to take Xiao Yanbao back to the human world, he discovered that his pen could not break through the barrier between the underworld and the human world, as if there was a solid barrier blocking the way from the underworld to the human world.
"Step back a few steps!"
After saying something to Xiao Yanbao, the judge shouted and forcefully thrust his judge's pen into the void. However, it only produced a loud thud and did not create the expected path.
The unlucky fellow looked at the scene before him with great concern, gazing at the void, and said somewhat uncertainly:
"Could it be that the Lord of the River of Oblivion has altered the laws of the Underworld? Otherwise, why can't you even enter the void to go to the mortal realm!"
The judge shook his slightly sore and swollen wrist, looked apologetically at Xiao Yanbao, and then said with a hint of helplessness:
"Let's wait a while. I've already contacted Lord Yeming."
The unlucky fellow felt relieved to hear that the judge had contacted Ye Ming. No matter what happened, no matter if it was the Demon Light Netherworld Mushroom that caused the Li family to fall into a deep sleep, as long as Yama Ye Ming came, none of these things mattered.
At the same time, Meng Po, who was standing on the Naihe Bridge confronting the Lord of the River of Oblivion, suddenly found herself unable to move. The Lord of the River of Oblivion looked at Meng Po with a mocking smile on his face.
"You still think it's like when she was around? Nobody dared to disrespect you then. But now your face is worthless!"
As they spoke, the Lord of the River of Oblivion used the power of the laws to sweep Meng Po into the void, where she was then imprisoned by the power of the laws.
The ghosts who had been watching the spectacle by the River of Oblivion began to discuss it when Meng Po suddenly disappeared.
"I think our Lord Wangchuan will definitely move up another step in the Ghost King rankings this time!"
The speaker was a drowned ghost, soaking wet. As soon as he finished speaking, a long-tongued ghost next to him slapped the drowned ghost with his tongue, speaking with an arrogant air.
"Are you courting death? No one will think you're mute if you can't speak. What Ghost King Ranking? Lord Wangchuan is an existence who has comprehended the power of laws. Don't you know how to address him respectfully as 'Lord'?"
The drowned ghost originally wanted to retort, but then he saw the other ghosts around him with unfriendly expressions, so he immediately put on a fawning smile.
"Brothers, it's my fault for being tongue-tied and ignorant!"
After saying this, the drowned ghost fawned over the Lord of the River of Oblivion and shouted loudly.
"Long live the Lord of the Underworld! May the Lord of the Underworld live forever!"
Seeing how cooperative the other party was, the several ghosts who had gathered around all cast admiring glances at the drowned ghost, and then they also shouted along with the drowned ghost. A few seconds later, a sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami echoed along the River of Oblivion.
"Long live the Lord of the Underworld! May the Lord of the Underworld live forever!"
...
The shouts traveled rapidly along both banks of the River of Oblivion, and soon the people in the Yama Palace heard them.
Everyone looked surprised, and even the judge turned around to look at Xiao Yanbao.
At this moment, the Soul Reapers, Black and White Impermanence, who had been heading to the Bridge of Helplessness, stormed into the Yama's Palace with their mourning sticks and soul-summoning banners. Black Impermanence was shouting loudly at the judge in a panic.
"Something terrible has happened! Your Honor!"
The judge used his magic to pin the panicked Black Impermanence to the spot, then turned his gaze to White Impermanence, his expression icy, and quietly spoke:
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic!"
The White Impermanence, feigning composure, bowed to the judge and then spoke in a trembling voice:
"Lady Meng Po has been sealed away by the Ghost King of the River of Oblivion, and even the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons who just arrived have been captured!"
Black Impermanence also spoke, panting heavily.
"Yes! If we hadn't run fast, we might have been caught too. The King of the River of Oblivion must have rebelled. When I ran back, the ghosts on the banks of the River of Oblivion were already calling him Lord of the Underworld!"
Hearing the words of the Black and White Impermanence, the judge felt a little flustered. After taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Xiao Yanbao and said:
"Yanbao, you be our witness. It was the Lord of the River of Oblivion who struck first, so he should be the one punished in the future!"
No one understood why the judge would allow the soul of a human girl to serve as a witness.
But there was no time to think about it, because the Lord of the River of Oblivion had already attacked the protective barrier of the Yama Palace.
