He thought about it over and over again, but always felt that something was wrong.

He had issued a warrant for the arrest of Lin Mo, who had violated the taboo of 'resurrecting the dead', but he had not been able to catch him after all this time.

What's the problem?

As a judge, he is in a high position and naturally cannot do everything himself. Some things will be overlooked if he is not careful.

However, he later looked through the previous arrest documents and found that there was still such a person at large.

But since he started to deal with this matter, he found that he was encountering obstacles everywhere and was having a hard time.

It was as if there was an invisible resistance preventing him from catching this man.

Until, he ran into Lin Yuan.

"There is no name of Lin Yuan in the Book of Life and Death. Who is this person?" Judge Cui frowned, and his originally gloomy face looked even darker at this moment.

"Lin Yuan, Lin Mo, could these two be from the same family?" Judge Cui thought of a possibility.

If that's the case, then there is a possibility.

Maybe the resistance he encountered was related to Lin Yuan, and his purpose was to prevent the underworld from settling accounts with Lin Mo, the criminal who had violated the taboo.

When I think about it this way, everything makes sense.

"It's a pity that you are now exposed. Then I will let you understand the consequences of angering the underworld."

Judge Cui looked gloomy.

The next moment, he called out to ask the ghost soldiers to come in.

No one responded.

Judge Cui was displeased and called again, but there was still no response.

It was unusually quiet inside the hall.

One could even say it was dead silent.

Judge Cui knew something was wrong.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.

Resentment surged in my body.

Judge Cui scolded him for being so bold and raised his hand to slap him.

The next moment, ghostly howls and wails were heard. Judge Cui withdrew his hand, and his palm was already covered in blood.

"Yin Demon?" This time it was replaced by an exclamation.

Recognized it.

This was the evil demon that hurt him last time. Judge Cui never expected that the other party would dare to break into his hall.

What is this for?

Moreover, how did the other party get in? Are the ghost soldiers guarding outside just for free?

At this moment, Judge Cui revealed his ghostly appearance, with countless hands extending from his body and a ferocious face. However, the demon opposite was not afraid of him and quickly stepped forward. The two horrible ghosts immediately started fighting each other.

The Yin Demon was completely black, and seemed to be able to restrain Judge Cui. In a short while, the place was covered with broken hands and blood was flowing like a river. Judge Cui was seriously injured and knew that he could not defeat this filthy Yin Demon, so he wanted to run away.

Using his hands and feet, he climbed up to the roof of the temple like a spider, trying to escape from above, but was pounced on and bitten by another group of evil spirits.

Judge Cui screamed in agony.

His huge stature is sometimes a good thing, as it can intimidate others; but sometimes it is a bad thing, as he is too fat to get away.

Perhaps he was forced into a corner, Judge Cui tore off his robe in a ferocious manner.

Phew.

A huge gash appeared on his body, and then evil ghosts crawled out from the torn flesh. The evil ghosts had six ears but no eyes, wide mouths and sharp teeth, extremely long arms with fleshy wings, and extremely short lower limbs, just like mutant bats.

At this moment, a large number of these flying bat evil ghosts crawled out of Judge Cui's body, some of them resisted the flying evil ghosts, and some attacked the evil spirits.

Suddenly, the situation was reversed.

In a dark corner of the hall, a man sighed and whispered, "Old Cui is still quite capable. Are we being too hasty in this matter?"

The man next to him shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since we have already started, we must do it in one go. Sir Lu, you are going to hold the Judge's Seal. This is your only chance. If you miss it, there will be no more."

"Lin Yuan, what you said makes sense. It's all thanks to your planning over the years. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had this opportunity. Even if Old Cui didn't serve as the judge, according to seniority, Shengjun and Old Wei would be ahead of me. How could it be my turn?"

"Some things need to be fought for. If you don't fight for them, you will never get your turn."

"That makes sense. Don't worry. Once this is done, I will revoke Lin Mo's arrest warrant and will never mention it again."

"That's great."

After saying that, the two men each released some evil ghosts and continued to besiege Judge Cui above.

One of these two people is Lin Yuan, the elder brother that Lin Mo is looking for, and the other is an elegant scholar, but he also has a pale face and looks like a ghost.

But not just anybody.

He was once one of the four judges of the underworld, and his surname was Lu.

The two men were obviously old acquaintances, and both were extremely cautious by nature, so they were naturally well prepared for this action.

"I have three thousand ghosts in my pocket. They are all crazy and brainless. They will kill gods and Buddhas. If I let them out this time, Old Cui will be in big trouble."

As Judge Lu spoke, he opened a bloody linen bag. The next moment, gusts of cold wind swept out, and three thousand ghosts flew up and attacked Judge Cui above.

While doing this, Judge Lu had a smile on his face, like a good neighbor uncle.

Lin Yuan also laughed: "I have a ghost crossbow here. It is made of ice condensed from resentment and polished into an arrowhead. If an arrow hits it, it will definitely knock out half of Judge Cui's life."

After saying that, he handed over a powerful crossbow with fine arrows.

"This matter is of great importance. Sir Lu, please do it yourself."

Judge Lu hastily declined: "Oh, no, we can't use our own. Lin Yuan, you are quite sinister. I am a little afraid that you will do something bad, so you should come."

"Lord Lu is extremely cautious. He will surely have a long career in office if he holds the judge's seal in the future."

Lin Yuan smiled, then picked up the crossbow and shot at Judge Cui above.

Arrows flew through the air.

Again, Judge Cui felt a huge danger coming, but he was a step slow.

It's not that it's a step slow, it's mainly because it's too big and it's hard to hide, and there's no way to hide.

With a "whoosh", an arrow hit his right arm.

Sharp screams echoed throughout the hall.

Judge Lu covered his ears in advance with a smile on his face.

Obviously very satisfied with this.

How could he not be satisfied? Judge Cui's originally thick right arm was now rapidly withering, like a wilted eggplant.

Add to that the three thousand crazy ghosts from before, and Judge Cui is now at the end of his strength.

I don't think it will cause any waves.

There was a loud bang.

Judge Cui fell down.

Judge Lu shook his head and said that Lao Cui was still very powerful. This time we launched a surprise attack and were well prepared. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win.

"We are really insidious. I heard that you spent several years cultivating the Yin Demon, allowing it to absorb resentment and malice to increase its strength."

Judge Lu said to Lin Yuan.

"My Lord, you have put a lot of effort into getting these three thousand sealed demon spirits. It would take at least four or five years to get them."

Lin Yuan also laughed.

"So we are insidious. Seeing Lao Cui in such a miserable state, I feel a little sorry for him. Hey, go ahead and lock Lao Cui in the dungeon I prepared. Remember, lock it up more and seal it more. Finally, open the gate and let the Yinhe Hades water in. Only in this way can it be sealed securely."

When Lin Yuan heard this, he said, "Sir Lu, you have considered everything very carefully."

"By the way, how many years did you dig that dungeon?" he asked curiously.

"Ten years." Lord Lu looked righteous.

"Your Excellency has worked hard."

"My life is filled with hardship. Go ahead. As for the Judge's Seal, I'll come find it. I know where Lao Cui put it."

"good."

The two acted separately.

Judge Cui was defeated, and Lin Yuan asked the Yin Demon to drag him away.

When Lin Yuan came back, Judge Lu was already sitting behind the judge's desk, holding an official seal in his hand and looking at it.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan said congratulations.

"Why should I be happy? I obtained the position of judge through conspiracy and trickery. The people below me are fine. Even if they have suspicions in their hearts, they dare not express them. The only thing is that it is not easy to fool the Holy Lord and Old Wei. I am afraid that they will come to make trouble, which will be troublesome."

Judge Lu looked worried at this moment.

Lin Yuan smiled and said that Lord Lu was thoughtful and would definitely have a solution.

"How can I have any solution? Lin Yuan, you have to help me with this."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

This matter was not included in their agreement, and Judge Lu insisted on bringing it up now, clearly having other ideas.

"The rice has been cooked, the wood has been cut, and the boat has been cut. Even if those two know, what can they do? Lord Lu, don't worry, just tell the truth."

Lin Yuan said.

This was also what he and Judge Lu had discussed before.

Unexpectedly, Judge Lu shook his head and said that he had thought too simply before.

"I used shady methods to seize the position. In the short term, I will definitely not be able to hold the position of judge. If Old Wei and Saint Lord can help me, then the overall situation can be settled. But if they also covet this position, what should I do?"

Lin Yuan also shook his head.

I thought to myself, people’s hearts change so easily.

Especially Judge Lu, he changed too quickly. He just sat on the position of judge and he started thinking about these things.

That's not right either.

I'm sure they've thought about it a long time ago.

Lin Yuan smiled and said that this matter was difficult to handle, but it had nothing to do with me.

"Sir Lu, the deal between you and me has been reached. I will help you get the position of judge, and you will revoke the arrest warrant against Lin Mo. It's very simple. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."

The words have been made very clear.

Judge Lu said nothing.

He just picked up an arrest warrant from the copybook and started reading it.

After a while, he said, "How did your brother manage to come back to life after death? I have only heard of such things, but if I were to do it, I would not know where to start."

Lin Yuan still had a smile on his face.

"To be honest, I don't know either."

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know."

"Don't you find it strange? Is your brother hiding some secret from you?"

"I don't care. I just know that he is my brother, my only brother. I will deal with anyone who wants to take advantage of him. No discussion."

Lin Yuan spoke with a smile, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

This is to answer the other party's question and at the same time, to express your attitude.

Draw a red line for the other party.

You can chat about other things, and I won’t argue with you, but don’t cross the line.

If you cross the line, I will deal with you.

No room for negotiation.

Judge Lu obviously understood, and his face immediately darkened.

He was completely different from the smiling and friendly person he had just now.

He put the arrest warrant back.

"Do you think Lao Wei and Shengjun will help me?"

Judge Lu's thoughts were jumping around now, and he jumped back to the previous topic, but his majesty was already evident in his words. His expression and tone were so similar to those of Judge Cui in the past.

"I don't know." Lin Yuan looked at Judge Lu opposite him, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"I don't think they will help me. Not only will they not help me, they are very likely to join forces against me, saying that I broke the rules, that I am insidious and cunning, and want to get rid of me as soon as possible...

So, I plan to take the initiative and get rid of both of them, so that I can rest assured."

Judge Lu's face looked even gloomier at this moment.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan turned around and walked out without saying a word.

The next moment, the layout of the hall changed, the ground and walls on the exit side twisted, and after a strange loud noise, the exit was closed.

There are ghosts roaming around, and murderous intentions are lurking on every side.

Lin Yuan sighed.

Shadows moved beneath his feet, and a demon crawled out from them.

"Brother, who are you going to beat this time?" Yin Mo asked in a low voice.

Lin Yuan made a gesture to calm down.

Look at Judge Lu over there.

"My Lord, are you going to get rid of me? Isn't that too soon? You were not such an impatient person before."

"It's a different time now. Back then, I didn't have any worries and my mentality was good. Now it's different. I'm worried about gains and losses. If you don't help me, you might help others. Tell me, if you were me, what would you do?"

Judge Lu tried to clear himself by saying that it was not his fault and that it was all your fault.

"I won't do the same as you." Lin Yuan said that we are not the same kind of people: "I have a bottom line."

Judge Lu was no longer pretending, his expression became increasingly gloomy.

There are more and more evil spirits around.

Apparently Judge Lu had other tricks up his sleeve besides the three thousand wronged souls.

He is a sinister person.

But Lin Yuan was not bad either. He flipped his hand and a talisman appeared in his palm. Then he reached out and grabbed the Yin Demon next to him. In an instant, the two of them twisted their bodies and disappeared in an instant.

"Run away?"

Judge Lu was surprised.

He really hadn't expected this.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then his expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it, someone has plotted against him."

With a bang.

Judge Luo slapped the document.

The thick copy was smashed to pieces by him at this moment.

"Lin Yuan had long ago predicted that I might abandon him, but he still tried his best to help me imprison Lao Cui and seize the position of judge, because that was his plan."

"He knows that I will most likely not fulfill my promise, but this is exactly what he wants. He wants the underworld to be in chaos."

"No matter what the reason is, Lao Wei and Saint Lord will not ignore me if I attack Lao Cui. Their prestige in the underworld is no less than mine. If a conflict really breaks out, the underworld will be in chaos, with all parties fighting and killing each other. In this case, who will care about the arrest warrant?"

"Perhaps Lin Yuan will also be wanted by Old Wei and Saint Lord, but at least his brother Lin Mo will be safe. After all, the situation is so chaotic, who cares about the arrest warrant?"

"What a good plan! I was used as a pawn by someone. I became a chess piece?"

"This is too much!"

Judge Lu, who had figured out the key, stomped his feet in anger.

But it's too late to say anything now.

He had been blinded by power before and hadn’t thought of this, and now it was too late to regret it.

It's done.

Should we go and release Lao Cui now, saying sorry, I was wrong, and we can still be good friends? Impossible.

Old Cui is a vindictive guy, and it is impossible for him to pretend that nothing happened. After all, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. For now, they can only continue like this, which is what makes Judge Lu most angry.

Besides, he has already seized the judge's seal and now holds great power. How could he possibly spit out what he has already eaten?

Slowly, Judge Lu calmed down from his rage.

"Lin Yuan saw that I had ambitions at first, so he took the initiative to contact me and help me achieve my wish. He planned this for his brother. It is true that it is difficult for me to catch you, Lin Yuan, but your brother does not have such ability. When I catch this Lin Mo, I will see if you will surrender or not."

Judge Lu also found a breakthrough.

Old Wei and Zhong Kui will definitely come to demand accountability, and the underworld will be in chaos then. Although Judge Lu holds great power, he also needs capable helpers.

Lin Yuan is the sharpest knife.

After arresting Lin Mo, there is no need to worry that the other party will not surrender.

At this time, there was a movement outside. Judge Lu raised his hand and waved, and the closed entrance of the hall was reopened. Then a gloomy ghost official walked in with a green-skinned ghost locked in an iron chain.

The green-skinned ghost was trembling with fear, and after coming in, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Judge Lu asked what was going on.

The ghost official looked up and was stunned.

"Lord Lu, why are you here? Where is Judge Cui?"

Judge Lu didn't waste any words and picked up the judge's seal and shook it.

"From today on, I will take over the position of judge. All matters in the underworld, big or small, will be reported to me."

When the ghost official saw the judge's seal, he was confused but did not dare to ask any more questions.

Judge Lu was extremely majestic at the moment, filled with murderous aura. If he asked any more questions, it would be uncomfortable.

In fact, since Judge Lu had been planning for a long time, he had naturally prepared his own group of people long ago, but he had not had time to place them in key positions.

This takes time.

Next, the ghost official revealed the situation of the green-skinned ghost, who had actually sneaked into the ghost prison to find out the name of "Lin Yuan".

And there is a terrifying ghost hiding in his body.

However, after being discovered, the evil ghost fled alone, leaving only the old green ghost.

"Who asked you to inquire about the name Lin Yuan? Do you know Lin Yuan?"

Judge Lu asked.

The green-skinned ghost below said he didn't know the person, and then described the person who ordered it to come in detail.

When Judge Lu heard this, he had an idea and immediately found a wronged soul and asked him to transform into Lin Yuan's appearance.

"Is it him?"

The green-skinned ghost took a look and nodded quickly: "Yes, it's him."

Obviously this couldn't be Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan wouldn't be so idle as to arrange for a young ghost to find him.

That's Lin Mo.

It must be!

Judge Lu was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo is here too.

Isn't this courting death? He immediately ordered the underworld to be sealed off, allowing only entry but no exit.

He had made up his mind that as long as he caught Lin Mo, Lin Yuan would have no choice but to help him. Then they would work together to get rid of Lao Wei and Zhong Kui, and no one would be able to threaten him anymore.

As for the higher level 'King of Hell', this existence has never appeared.

Maybe, it doesn't exist at all.

Otherwise, when Lao Cui drove the three of them out and took over the power, why didn't the "King of Hell" intervene? Why should we be afraid of something that doesn't exist?
