Chapter 22 Helping the Underworld to Settle Accounts
A powerful pressure instantly swept across the entire Yama Palace, but Feng Tianning's expression remained calm.
The pressure was aimed at the divine soul. Even though she was now possessed by a mortal, the pressure from anyone below the level of the God Emperor had no effect on her.
I'm afraid that even if Fuxi were alive, he wouldn't be able to defeat her.
"Now that you have seen Yama, why don't you kneel?" The speaker was Xuanming Puhua Tianzun, also known to the mortal world as King Qin Guang - Jiang Ziwen.
"Xuan Ming was a military commander in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After his death in battle, he was worshipped by the people and became a god. Because of his ruthlessness and impartiality, he was appointed the chief of Yama by the Jade Emperor.
He can initially judge the fate of the deceased souls, sending the good ones directly to the Tenth Hall of Reincarnation, while the evil ones are exiled to various halls to be punished. He summons the Yin Thunder and Tribulation Fire to burn away the evil thoughts in the three souls and seven spirits of the sinners. He is the head of the Ten Yamas.
"I came to look for you today."
Feng Tianning stood in the center of the Ten Kings of Hell. He showed no fear at all, and his aura even surpassed that of the King of Hell who sat in the upper seat.
When his identity was revealed, Xuan Ming realized that the person who came was not ordinary.
"Who are you, girl, and why did you come to my underworld?"
A gentle voice sounded, and a man with a white face and no beard, dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan, appeared in front of Feng Tianning.
It was the City King—Huang Zhongyong, the ruler of the City of the Dead.
He appears gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact he is vindictive and good at using tricks to make the sinful souls kill each other. He is also the one Feng Tianning dislikes the most among the Ten Kings of Hell.
"Nüxi clan, Queen Wa."
"I came here to seek justice."
Feng Tianning's words fell without a trace of emotion, and the Yama Palace fell silent in an instant. The smile on Huang Zhongyong's face gradually disappeared.
"Breaking into the underworld and impersonating a god is an even greater crime!"
What a joke, who is the female Xi?
That’s Nuwa, the Goddess of Creation beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. How could she possibly come to the underworld alone to seek justice?
What injustice could Nuwa have suffered? Who in the three realms and six paths dares to mess with her except her brother Fuxi?
"I, Nuwa of the Thirty-third Heaven, have come here to seek justice."
Feng Tianning repeated it again, but this time his tone was even colder.
An invisible pressure instantly filled the entire Yama Palace. This was the pressure of the God Emperor, which was a hundred times stronger than Xuanming's.
"So, is it credible?" Feng Tianning glanced at the pale-faced Huang Zhongyong.
This pressure lasted only for a moment, but the Ten Kings of Hell were almost suffocated. They felt the wrath from above.
"I am here today to seek justice." Feng Tianning said calmly.
"I wonder what grievances the Queen has suffered?"
Xuan Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
There are only two God-Emperors in the world, one is Nuwa and the other is Fuxi.
No matter who is in front of her, she will now only be Nuwa.
Feng Tianning briefly recounted the story of Cang Mingyu.
In an instant, all the Yamas in the hall fell silent.
"My Lady, there's no reason to return a soul that's been seduced away."
"If we set a precedent for you, then all the gods in the future will..."
Xuan Ming didn't finish his words, but Feng Tianning understood what he meant.
If they release the soul without permission, they will have a hard time explaining themselves to the Jade Emperor if he investigates.
It seems that this matter cannot be accomplished today. Cang Mingyu is destined to suffer this disaster.
"Is there any other solution?"
"He is just a child who was accidentally injured by an evil spirit." Feng Tianning asked without giving up.
She had finally made it to the King of Hell's Palace, and she didn't want to go back like this.
“There is actually a way.”
Huang Zhongyong changed his tone and said:
"It's just a sacrifice of your dignity."
Feng Tianning looked at him in confusion and motioned for him to continue.
"Thousands of years ago, a monkey wreaked havoc in the underworld, altering the Book of Life and Death at will."
"If you follow its example, given your status, the Jade Emperor won't blame you even if he knows."
Feng Tianning lowered his head. What Huang Zhongyong said was a good idea. It could save people without making things difficult for them.
What does face matter? Cang Mingyu is her child after all. If he can save people, it will be worth it to risk her reputation.
But she has been in the Thirty-third Heaven for a long time, ignoring worldly affairs, and she doesn't know whether the Jade Emperor will give her this face.
"In that case, let's make a fuss."
Xuan Ming frowned and looked at Huang Zhongyong. Is this really feasible?
The latter gave him a reassuring look.
There are also "human relationships" in the underworld. Those high-ranking gods always have some worldly affairs to deal with, so it is not uncommon for them to use the back door in the underworld.
Back then, the monkey helped them settle a lot of "accounts".
But thousands of years have passed, and the "false accounts" in the underworld have already piled up like a mountain, and they are looking for someone to help them solve them.
Nuwa has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and has devoted herself to cultivation. Naturally, she doesn't know the ways here, so she is the perfect person to help them solve their problems.
Poor Feng Tianning didn't know that he had been fooled by this Yama, and was still eager to make trouble in the underworld.
It's called a commotion, but in fact it's just a formality.
Feng Tianning followed Xuan Ming to the place where the Book of Life and Death was kept.
Unlike the Book of Life and Death in the public's impression, it is not a book, but a huge library.
It was filled with lists of names from different regions, genders, and families.
Xuanming waved his hand, a white light flashed, and the Cang family's Book of Life and Death was in his hands.
"Fortunately, he hasn't been reincarnated yet, otherwise you would have come here in vain."
Xuan Ming picked up the pen of life and death, drew a line at Cang Mingyu's position, and his name disappeared from the book of life and death.
"Once he returns to the mortal world, you can use his favorite object to wake him up."
Feng Tianning nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he thought of something:
"Do you have the Han family's Book of Life and Death?"
Since we have to risk our own face anyway, we might as well rescue Han's mother as well.
Thinking of Han Jiajun crying, she felt a little sorry.
Feng Tianning reported a location, and Xuan Ming soon found Han's mother.
"My Lady, she has been reincarnated."
Han's mother had been eroded by resentment for more than a month, and her soul had long been drawn to the underworld to be reincarnated.
Feng Tianning nodded regretfully and said:
"Can you tell me which family she was reincarnated into?"
Xuanming pinched his fingers and summoned the Three Lives Mirror, and a child who looked like he had just been born appeared in it.
"Ming family in Pei County."
Feng Tianning nodded, thanked him and was about to leave, but was stopped by Huang Zhongyong.
He looked at Feng Tianning with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at the God of Wealth:
"My Lady, why don't you do something about the underworld? Otherwise, we won't be able to report to the authorities."
Feng Tianning pondered for a moment, then made a hand gesture:
"One finger reverses yin and yang, and the qi moves through the chaotic star power."
The next moment, the ground of the entire library began to tremble and slowly cracked into several pieces.
The bookshelf also shook violently, and various books of life and death fell to the ground, and a few even fell into the gaps.
"Is that enough?"
Huang Zhongyong hurriedly nodded with a wry smile. This was more than enough. In such a chaotic scene, it wouldn't be too much to throw away one or two books of life and death, right?
But he soon stopped laughing.
"Since you're causing trouble in the underworld, you should have some injuries on your bodies."
Feng Tianning looked at them seriously, his hands already forming hand seals.
