King Pingdeng frowned immediately when he sensed something was off about Wang Yao's tone. Wang Yao's words were quite harsh, implying that he, the King of Hell, was incompetent. However, he was not lying; the economic affairs of the underworld were indeed handled by King Wuguan, while he was in charge of the underworld's security.
To put it bluntly, King Pingdeng is the chief constable of all the police stations in the underworld, which is why he came down to direct the handling of the incident on floor zero. Furthermore, the matter of stopping the sale of human-machine interface devices is not a big deal, but it is not insignificant either; it is not an exaggeration to say that it concerns the vital interests of every ghost in the underworld.
Even the King of the Five Observations didn't have the authority to agree so easily. It would be impossible to make a decision without holding a meeting of the Ten Kings of Hell. Therefore, when King Pingdeng told Wang Yao that the matter of stopping the sale of human weapons was under the jurisdiction of the King of the Five Observations, although he wasn't lying, Wang Yao thought he was playing coy, which wasn't entirely unfair.
"Old Man of the Moon is joking. This is a critical moment. I don't have time to take you to see the Five Observation King. No matter how many things you have to do or how important they are, put them aside for now. Go and find out the safety of the two immortals first, and stabilize the situation before we talk about anything else."
King Pingdeng said in a deep voice, "This is only because he is the Old Man of the Moon. If it were anyone else, let alone a ghost, even an immortal would turn against him. What kind of time is this to be arguing about such a trivial thing as what the underworld is selling? Do you think he, the King of Hell, is made of clay?"
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Your Highness. Since even you, as the King of Hell, can't solve this problem, then I've come to the Underworld for nothing. I guess I'm just unlucky. You two don't need to thank me for arranging the blockade. After all, we are all from the same lineage in the Six Realms. As immortals, it's my duty."
"However, now that you judges and kings of hell have arrived, shouldn't I return to the mortal realm to report for duty? Gentlemen, could you please provide a soul lamp? I'll find the exit myself. Farewell!"
Wang Yao smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to King Pingdeng. Since you're not going to give me any face, and I'm not some philanthropist or under your jurisdiction, I'm not going to fall for your act.
"Old Man of the Moon! Do you know the nature of your actions? Aren't you afraid I'll go to the Heavenly Court and accuse you of being unreasonable, sophistry, cowardly in the face of danger, and refusing to help someone in distress?"
King Pingdeng suddenly widened his eyes, and the aura of a high-level ghost king suddenly burst forth. In an instant, thick dark clouds appeared out of thin air on the ceiling of the corridor, forcing people to lower their heads. The entire corridor was instantly filled with a gloomy and desolate atmosphere.
The air around us felt heavy, as if it were filled with lead, making it hard to breathe.
All the ghosts around, including Gu Qi, knelt down one after another with a "thump, thump," their faces pale with fright, unable to utter a word.
Wang Yao also felt as if his neck was being pressed down, causing it to droop downwards. His knees buckled, and he almost knelt down as well. He quickly put himself in a "good person" position to straighten his head and stand firmly, unaffected by anything.
But he was really startled and cursed King Pingdeng for being so dishonest. He turned on him faster than flipping a book and attacked without warning. If there hadn't been a "good guy", wouldn't he have made a fool of himself by now?
When King Pingdeng saw Wang Yao tremble for a moment but then regain his composure and stand there looking directly at him, he knew that Wang Yao had also used magic. He was even more furious. In the underworld, when King Yama got angry, which ghost would dare to make a move?
This kid even said the underworld treats the human world unequally. Damn it, don't you discriminate against the underworld too? I'm the lord of the underworld, and you don't show me any respect at all? You even want to fight me?
"The Old Man of the Moon is indeed a celestial being; he certainly has some skill." King Pingdeng narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Wang Yao.
"No problem, no problem. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, how would I dare to come to your Underworld? It seems that Your Highness wants to keep me in the Underworld and not let me leave?" Wang Yao chuckled.
“I am, after all, the Lord of the Underworld. You, the Old Man of the Moon, have repeatedly threatened the Underworld and been disrespectful to me, relying on your status as a celestial being. If I let you leave the Underworld unscathed, I will no longer need to be the King of Hell.”
King Pingdeng gave a cold laugh, and his entire body of Yin energy transformed into thick chains that interlocked, locking Wang Yao in the center.
"This is absolutely ridiculous! Are the ghosts in your underworld always capable of calling a deer a horse and turning black into white? I came to your underworld and didn't accomplish a single thing I wanted to do. Instead, I spent half the day helping you block the corpse energy, and you're saying I'm rude to you? Who's being rude, me or you?"
Wang Yao also became famous. This King Yama is really used to lording it over everyone in the underworld. He thinks everyone should give way to him. He's lived such a long life, but he's wasted his life.
"Old man, I don't need your directions, I found my way out myself! Don't let me run into you in other worlds again, or you'll be sorry!"
Wang Yao pointed at King Pingdeng and cursed him, then turned and left. King Pingdeng was dumbfounded. His Yin Yuan Lock was a method that even immortals in the Refining Void Realm could not escape, but he did not expect Wang Yao to leave so easily, treating the chains encircling his body as if they were nothing.
Wang Yao was also feeling frustrated. If he had a way to deal with King Pingdeng, he would really like to exchange a few blows with him on the spot. But his immortal techniques were not only ineffective against King Pingdeng, but even if he were hit by Qingpao, he would be unharmed. So he could only make a fool of himself with his words.
Actually, Wang Yao could only use the Matchmaker skill to deal with King Pingdeng in the human realm. But in the immortal realm, he would have to ask Caixia to open an interface window for him before he could arrange an unusual marriage for King Pingdeng.
As for the other realms, just like the Underworld, Wang Yao could only run away when he saw King Pingdeng.
