The Emperor of Fengdu came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, "The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, and it is basically impossible to sneak in. Moreover, the Eye of Time and Space is hanging on the neck of the Western Ghost Emperor, so we can only find a way to get it during a head-on confrontation."
Wen Qi frowned, "Does the Western Ghost Emperor have any travel plans recently? We can ambush him halfway."
Emperor Fengdu shook his head again, "Ghost Emperors live in their respective territories for many years and rarely go out."
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Wen Qi asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"
The Emperor of Fengdu said calmly, "I'll find a way." After that, he stood up and said comfortingly, "Don't think too much for now. It's a rare opportunity to come to the underworld, so have fun for two days."
Wen Qi sighed heavily, "I'll try my best."
Ten thousand years later, the underworld.
Feng Ce stepped out of the boundary gate and appeared directly in the palace of the Western Ghost Emperor, but the Western Ghost Emperor had disappeared at that time. At the same time, there were remnants of time and space power in the palace, which looked like the traces left after the use of the Eye of Time and Space.
Feng Ce's face became more and more gloomy. He was now certain that Wen Qi's soul was not only forcibly summoned to the underworld, but also sent to other time and space by the Western Ghost Emperor! If he wanted to find Wen Qi now, he had to find the Western Ghost Emperor first.
After coming out of the Western Ghost Emperor's palace, Feng Ce directly issued a wanted order and promised that any ghost who could provide real clues about the Ghost Emperor could have a wish fulfilled.
The moment the order was given, the entire underworld came into action, and all the ghosts were looking for the whereabouts of the Western Ghost Emperor.
Inside the Fengdu Palace, the other Ghost Emperors and Palace Masters were all present, speculating on where the Western Ghost Emperor might be hiding.
King Chu Jiang speculated: "Could he use the Eye of Time and Space to escape to another time and space?"
Without waiting for Feng Ce to speak, the Eastern Ghost Emperor shook his head and said, "Impossible. Every time the Eye of Time and Space is opened, it consumes a huge amount of energy, and it takes at least three months to use it again after opening it once."
King Chu Jiang frowned, "The entire underworld is about to be turned upside down. How could such a big ghost emperor disappear without a trace, even if his aura can be sensed from a long distance?"
"Could it be hidden in some forbidden place?" King Yan Luo suddenly said, "I remember that the Eye of Time and Space has very strong defensive capabilities."
"Forbidden area?"
The hall masters started discussing at once. Since the birth of the underworld, there have always been only a few forbidden areas, and even fewer places that can hide people.
At this moment, Feng Ce on the throne suddenly stood up, took a step forward and disappeared into the hall.
The Palace Master and the Ghost Emperors looked at each other, "Maybe he has thought of a suitable place to hide."
Feng Ce came straight to the World Tree, flew upwards along the trunk without stopping, and soon arrived between the treetops.
The crown of the World Tree is very large, and the golden light flowing around the gaps between the branches is the Long River of Time. Feng Ce suspected that the Western Ghost Emperor hid in the Long River of Time with the help of the Eye of Time and Space.
But the river of time has no beginning or end. If he is really hiding in it, it will be even more difficult to find him.
Feng Ce used his senses to explore a period of time. It happened to be the time when he had just launched a war and planned to unify the underworld. He took a quick look and did not find any trace of the Western Ghost Emperor.
After his consciousness came out, Feng Ce looked at another section of the long river of time. The scenes in this section were when he was fighting against the Ghost Emperor of the West.
After reading it, he suddenly felt confused. Why did he decide to attack the Western Ghost Emperor? And then unify the underworld, establish the underworld and hell... Why did he suddenly do so many things? He remembered that he was very lazy before, and sometimes he didn't even want to pay attention to the ghosts' prayers.
Feng Ce felt very uncomfortable. He traced back along the long river of time, trying to find the reason for all the changes, but was surprised to find that a section of the long river of time was blocked.
"Wen Qi..." Feng Ce suddenly felt relieved. Since Wen Qi went back to the past and met his past self, he didn't have to worry at all. He believed that no matter which time period he was in, he would take good care of Wen Qi.
Now the only thing he needs to do is to find the Western Ghost Emperor as soon as possible, eradicate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever.
In an instant, Feng Ce's aura changed, becoming much more resolute and fierce, with a hint of bloody murderous aura. Without any worries, Feng Ce turned into the decisive and murderous Emperor of Fengdu.
The World Tree sensed the changes in the Lord of the World, and transmitted his thoughts to every corner of the underworld - those who bring disaster to the underworld will be killed without mercy!
The Ghost Emperor and the hall masters who were still discussing in the hall couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts after sensing his thoughts. It had indeed been a long time since the Great Emperor of Fengdu had carried out a large-scale overhaul of the underworld.
I still remember that after the last reorganization, half of the Ghost Emperor and the Palace Master were executed, and the soul power of the entire underworld became much stronger.
Just as everyone was shuddering, recalling the thunderous methods of the Emperor of Fengdu, the Emperor's voice suddenly rang out: "From today on, the Western Ghost Emperor Wuzhong will be demoted to Ghost King, and all of his guards must be incorporated. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
All the Ghost Emperors and Hall Masters in the hall responded in unison, and then left the hall with a murderous aura to carry out the orders of the Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor does not allow private soldiers to be kept in captivity. There are only guards with a maximum number of no more than 10,000, including all the servants inside and outside the palace. These ghost soldiers have been the soldiers of the Western Ghost Emperor since the beginning, when the underworld was not unified. It is almost impossible to recruit them, and they can only be attacked by force.
Therefore, the order of Emperor Fengdu is actually to wipe out all forces subordinate to the Western Ghost Emperor.
After leaving the hall, the other three ghost emperors looked at each other and became alert. As a ghost, one should not be too arrogant or too ambitious, otherwise it would be a matter of time before one's soul was scattered, unless one believed that one's power and strength were greater than that of the emperor, but this was basically impossible.
The Emperor of Fengdu has controlled the underworld for nearly ten thousand years. During this long period of time, as the lord of the plane, the Emperor of Fengdu has grown together with the World Tree, and his strength has long reached an unfathomable level.
Not to mention one Ghost Emperor, even if the four Ghost Emperors joined forces they might not be able to defeat him.
Unfortunately, the Western Ghost Emperor did not understand such a simple truth. His eyes had been completely blinded by the desire for power.
In just one hour, the three Ghost Emperors, each with three thousand guards, passed through the gate and went directly to the palace of the Western Ghost Emperor, and issued the order of the Emperor of Fengdu.
As expected, we encountered stubborn resistance.
For the next three hours, the soul power in the Western Ghost Emperor's palace continued to fluctuate violently. When everything calmed down, the palace door opened, and the rich soul power surged out like a wave, transforming into the purest and most basic Yin Qi in the underworld.
The three Ghost Emperors walked out with their guards while chatting.
"Right now, the positions of Ghost Emperor and Palace Master are both vacant. I wonder which lucky judge will be promoted."
"I remember there was a good judge named Luo. I heard that the magic weapon that the empress is using now is the same one that Judge Luo used when he was alive."
"There is also a new judge. I heard that he was sent down by the emperor himself. It is also possible."
"And Judge Wei, he has the most seniority."
The Eastern Ghost Emperor suddenly said, "There are too many candidates for the Palace Master position, so it's hard to guess. But the position of Ghost Emperor will most likely fall on King Chu Jiang."
The two Ghost Emperors in the north and south nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "It should be him."
The Eastern Ghost Emperor sighed, "When King Chujiang ascends the throne, the underworld will truly be as solid as a rock."
