"Old Bian!" "Sixth Brother!" Several Yama Kings immediately raised their eyes and looked at King Biancheng with displeasure.
"You've taken a fancy to the Old Man of the Moon's Cloud-Ascending Beast? No problem, no problem. Have a cigar, and we'll talk it over slowly. The Cloud-Ascending Beast is worth one-third, so that leaves two-thirds?" Cao Xian's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, asking King Biancheng for a cigar.
"Old Cao, you really know your stuff. You know these Ximing cigars are high-class. I don't usually take them out except for a few of us." King Biancheng happily pulled out a cigar and handed it to Cao Xian.
"Be careful, it might be a trap!" "Watch out!" "Don't give it to him!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Yama Kings nearby all screamed and warned him.
However, Cao Xian, who was about to take the cigar, stumbled and then staggered backward. He put one hand on his chest and pointed tremblingly at King Biancheng with the other.
“Little…Little Six…boy, I just…want…want a cigar…you…you actually…actually killed me, you…you…you…” As he spoke, Cao Xian’s eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.
He chose the spot to fall with great precision, and didn't encounter a single Yama.
"What the hell? This works too?" King Biancheng, holding a cigar, stared in astonishment at Cao Xian lying on the ground, not even noticing the cigar he was biting had fallen out of his mouth.
"You better watch out, it'll be even more troublesome if you get burned!" King Qin Guang was quick-witted and caught the cigar that King Biancheng had dropped from his mouth.
In a short while, a Yama and an immortal lay on the ground, one in front of Wang Yao and the other behind him. Wang Yao was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a scene before and had no idea what had happened.
"Sixth Brother, are you out of your mind? No matter how I call you, you can't stop me." A Yama King scolded Biancheng King from the side.
"This isn't Lao Liu's fault. Cao Guojiu is an old immortal; he's seen all sorts of tricks. If he's determined to extort us, he'll always find an opportunity. Now, the question we should be considering is how long we plan to keep this guy lying on the ground," said Yama.
"How much longer can he lie there? Can't you see that Third Brother is with him? Hey, Third Brother, get up. That damned Imperial Uncle is lying down too. Let's do as he says and go to the Underworld Queen District. Cao Xian will take charge of defending against the corpse energy. Old Cao, you shouldn't lie there either. If you keep lying there, believe me, I still have ways to deal with you."
King Qin Guang said irritably.
Wang Yao stared in astonishment as King Pingdeng finished speaking to King Qin Guang. His eyes flickered twice before he slowly opened them and silently got up from the ground.
"Hey, my third brother is already up, what else do you want?" King Biancheng shouted at Cao Xian, who was lying on the ground.
"Huh? I... how did I end up on the ground?" Cao Xian blinked and sat up, muttering to himself. "Eh? What just happened? Weren't we discussing the Corpse Qi Calamity?"
“Look at him, he’s still not out of character. He’s definitely a professional,” King Qin Guang said to King Pingdeng.
"Then that's settled. Fifth Brother still has some lingering resentment, and Third Brother is injured. Apart from these two, all eight of us Yama Kings will accompany you. Is that enough, Old Man of the Moon?" Yama King said to Wang Yao without further ado.
"I want to stay with Xiao Wang too," the fairy maiden hurriedly called out from the side.
"Didn't Immortal Cao tell you to return to the Immortal Realm?" Wang Yao asked.
“I’m not going back. I don’t feel comfortable letting you go with them.” The fairy shook her head repeatedly.
"Just let the fairy go with you. She must have her reasons for saying that. When Lao Huang and the others come down, I'll arrange for a few more immortals to accompany you as well," Cao Xian said to Wang Yao.
What are you thinking? Isn't she just afraid I won't help her husband break off his marriage? Wang Yao muttered to himself, but then shook his head.
“There’s no need for so many immortals or so many Yama Kings. Since the fairy is with me, please, the three of you, come with me. The rest of you can stay and assist Director Cao.” Wang Yao shook his head and pointed to King Qin Guang, King Yama, and the scholar-looking Yama King.
After all that commotion, he had figured things out. Not only did Cao Xian want to follow him, but the Yama Kings also wanted to follow him. Why? Besides the fact that Wang Yao could deal with spirit bodies, the main reason was that his incursion into the Underworld was seemingly extremely dangerous, but it was actually a hidden move.
The enemy is clearly putting a lot of effort into attacking the underworld. After fighting their way up to the eighteenth floor, the seventeenth floor, and the zeroth floor, the enemy has almost no strength left. Not only will I not encounter too many enemies along the way, but I will also find it easier to achieve success.
Once the enemy's stronghold is destroyed, when it comes to who has defeated the Corpse Qi Calamity, the greatest credit will be given to them. On the other hand, the defending side will be the opposite. Because they are under great pressure due to attacks from all sides, even if they win, the credit will not go to them at all.
Whether it was these Yama Kings or Cao Xian, they had probably already thoroughly considered the importance and urgency of this matter, as well as the potential benefits. Therefore, from the outset, even if it meant resorting to extortion and dishonesty, both sides were determined to fight for a chance to go to the Underworld with Wang Yao.
However, in Wang Yao's opinion, going to the Underworld Queen District did not require such great power. You must know that every Yama King here is equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage immortal. Although he could not guess the fairy's realm, he thought that she should still be at the Void Refinement stage.
For beings at their level, numbers alone cannot solve the problem. If the enemy is at the Mahayana Realm, no matter how many you send, it will be of no use. If the enemy is at the Integration Realm, two veteran Yama Kings are enough to solve the problem.
If the opponent is below the Integration Realm, then one Yama King will take care of them. Therefore, sending more Yama Kings is not necessarily better. On the contrary, if there are too many, it will attract the opponent's attention. Once the opponent focuses their attack on them, they will completely lose their role as hidden pawns.
