Chapter 1218 The Golden Sword Hanging at the Top of the Underworld
Hearing this, the Eastern Ghost Emperor rushed towards Ye Linglong like crazy, but was stopped by Xiaobai and Zhaocai.
"Who said I can't do it? Did he really think that the cooperation back then was foolproof? I have kept the evidence of what he did! Hahahaha... once what he did gets out, he will die a more miserable death than me! The Immortal Realm will not let him go!"
The Eastern Ghost Emperor laughed loudly and said, "One day, he will definitely get his comeuppance! I'm waiting for him to be destroyed with me, his soul torn to pieces and reduced to ashes! Hahahaha..."
He laughed loudly and gathered up the last bit of his strength like a madman.
"You ants, running dogs, and bastards, you are not worthy of killing me! Hahahaha..."
After saying the last sentence, the Eastern Ghost Emperor exploded his own soul.
With this explosion, all of his remaining strength was stimulated, the final madness from his soul that had transcended the tribulation, and it was undoubtedly a huge blow to those around him whose cultivation was not as good as his.
No one expected him to be so crazy, and it was too late to retreat at the last moment.
Just when they thought they were going to be seriously injured, suddenly a gray light fell on them and protected them.
With a "bang", the gray light was shattered by the self-explosion of the Eastern Ghost Emperor's soul. Although there was still residual power rushing to them, it was already very weak.
Therefore, although they suffered this blow, none of them were seriously injured and they all managed to survive.
At this time, they all turned around and saw that the Hades had appeared on the top of the mountain at some point and was looking at them with a smile.
"Fortunately, I arrived a step earlier. If I had been a little later, everyone would have been in danger."
Seeing the Hades, Ye Linglong adjusted the wolf's hair on his body and saluted towards the Hades with his fists clasped.
"Thank you, Emperor Ming, for rescuing me."
"It's as it should be. Without you, the sinister Dongfang wouldn't have completely collapsed. The other four ghost emperors would still be shielding him from rebellion."
"This is our way of making amends. We were wrong to enter the underworld without permission. We hope that the Underworld Emperor will consider our merits and not hold us accountable and let us leave."
"What are you talking about? Didn't you all get my tacit approval for what you did in the underworld?"
The Hades Emperor smiled and said, "If you want to leave, I will of course see you off, but you have made great contributions and are now distinguished guests of the Underworld. Can you give me a chance to treat you well? It just so happens that I also have something to say to you."
Shen Lixian and Mu Xiaoran turned to look at Ye Linglong, only to see her nod.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Emperor Ming."
So, Ye Linglong took Zhaocai, Xiaobai and its new body back into the space, and then flew towards the Hades.
Shen Lixian and Mu Xiaoran quickly followed, and the three of them left the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Palace with the Underworld Emperor.
Unlike the last time they left the Hades Palace and were looked down upon everywhere, this time when they came back, they received countless glances of gratitude and admiration. They were so excited that it seemed as if they were not the ones who had mocked Ye Linglong before.
Because they were going back with the Dark Emperor, those disciples had to keep their composure at all times no matter how excited they were.
Including Hei Jiu and Yu Changfeng who were standing in the front, they were much calmer than other disciples.
After watching them leave with the Hades, Yu Changfeng pushed the dazed Hei Jiu's shoulder.
"Okay, I didn't even know that the Hades condoned them, but you know it so clearly."
…
To be honest, he doesn't know.
At that time, it was just a reason I made up in a hurry to fool people, who knew it was actually true!
Even he himself thinks it's outrageous, okay?
The three of them came back, and walked back to the Hades Palace in their original identities.
This world is so magical that he can’t understand it.
He said he would treat them well, and the Hades really treated them well.
A banquet was held in the main hall. Those who could attend the banquet were important figures in the Underworld Emperor Palace, almost all of them were elders. The only two disciples who could enter the banquet were the chief Yu Changfeng and the newcomer Hei Jiu.
Before the banquet, servants from the Hades Palace took them to the infirmary, where they waited for their injuries to be treated, and then they went to the banquet.
Throughout the entire process, the servants of the Hades Palace served them very well.
At the banquet, they received a lot of praise and gratitude. Not only that, the Hades also gave them some gifts. With the addition of music, singing and dancing, the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.
The banquet was over and everyone left. The Hades stood up and looked at the three of them.
"Thank you for your hard work, please follow me to a place before you rest."
Ye Linglong and the other three stood up and followed the Hades, following him all the way out of the Hades Palace. Outside the palace, the Hades invited them to get on the carriage together.
The carriage started moving, quickly flying to a place deep in the underworld that they had never been to before.
The light of the underworld was never very strong, but the further they flew, the brighter it felt ahead, so bright that they even doubted whether they were still in the underworld.
Ye Linglong hasn't felt such an open feeling for a long time.
Compared to Ye Linglong, the one who felt more emotional was Mu Xiaoran, who was sent to the underworld before he could even go to the upper world of immortal cultivation.
He stared blankly out of the carriage window. This light didn't seem to be from the underworld, but rather had a familiar aura.
Wait, a familiar scent?
Mu Xiaoran quickly turned his gaze from the window back to his second senior brother and younger junior sister. It was obvious that they had also noticed it.
"Do you feel that the light and atmosphere here are somewhat familiar, but not completely familiar to you?"
The Hades was the first to speak and break the silence.
Before Ye Linglong and the other three could answer, the carriage stopped and the Hades stood up.
"Come with me and take a look."
When they stepped out of the carriage, the sight they saw stunned the three of them.
They were in the sky above the underworld, so high that when they looked down, the mountains and rivers seemed to turn into lines, as if they were standing on the top of the underworld.
And in the high sky close to the top, there is a golden sword hanging above.
The sword emitted a golden light that was dazzling and powerful.
The aura it exudes does not come from the underworld. It is a bit like aura, but it is definitely not aura. It is a more powerful and higher-level aura than aura.
"This is..."
"This is the golden sword hanging at the top of the underworld." The Hades Emperor replied: "Many, many years ago, it was placed at the top of the underworld by the people of the immortal world. It is there, suppressing the underworld and all the ghosts."
Hearing this, the three of them were surprised.
"This is why the ghosts cannot go any further after they have transcended the tribulation. Because they are suppressed by this golden sword, and because the immortals do not allow it!"
