Chapter 554 Judge's Pen
The square seal made a sharp buzzing sound, shrank rapidly, returned to its original shape and fell into the girl's palm.
As the black-robed man and the three Taoist ghosts stared in amazement, A'Du floated lightly beside Yun Qingqing and spoke in a cold voice, looking down at her:
"No wonder the underworld can't find the whereabouts of the lost souls. It turns out that there are bad apples like you among the judges who are interfering!"
"You have taken over the bodies of living people, imprisoned innocent souls, and used the blood pool without authorization. Each and every one of these actions is a grave sin! Do you acknowledge your mistakes?"
The black-robed man didn't expect his identity to be recognized directly. He took a breath and stared at A'Du with a gloomy look under his hood for a moment. Suddenly, he sneered:
"What a big mouth! Are you Meng Po's apprentice? No wonder you recognized my identity. But I advise you to be more sensible. The Judge's Seal is not something a low-level apprentice like you can hold!"
As he spoke, he pinched his fingers together with one hand, and stretched out his other hand into a claw towards the Judge Seal, shouting:
"receive!"
As he finished speaking, the Judge's Seal suddenly burst into red light and began to tremble violently in A'du's hand, struggling to grow larger and escape from his hand.
Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng could both feel a heat wave coming towards them from a distance. It was obvious that the Judge's Seal had become extremely hot.
"A'Du!" Yun Qingqing's heart trembled, and she wanted to go over to help.
A'Du tightly grasped the Judge's Seal, his expression changed, and he quickly retreated:
"Master Yun, please don't come near me. Leave it to me!"
The black-robed man's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said viciously:
"Little devil, if you don't let go, I will use you to sacrifice the Judge's Seal!"
A'Du did not answer, but raised one hand, and an iron pen appeared in his hand. He quickly drew golden light in the air and wrote big words one by one.
The man in black robe was stunned when he saw the iron pen.
The golden words written by A'du seemed to have life. They flew over the Judge's Seal one by one and smashed into the Judge's Seal fiercely, making sharp sounds!
With every word that fell, the Judge's Seal, which had just grown larger, became smaller, and its trembling and struggling became weaker.
The black-robed man exclaimed:
"How come you have the Judge's Pen?! This is impossible!"
The Judge Seal in A'Du's hand had completely ceased to move. She glanced at the black-robed man with a cold and disdainful look:
"Why, you are the only one allowed to be the judge?"
"Impossible!" the black-robed figure shrieked. "In the underworld, the position of Meng Po has always been held by female ghosts. How can a little girl like you be the judge? This is impossible!"
A'Du narrowed his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly as he raised the iron pen and wrote a big word "封".
"You..." The man in black robe panicked when he saw her using the judge's pen effortlessly. He immediately reached into his sleeve and took out an iron pen that was exactly the same as the one in A'du's hand.
"This judge has served the underworld for thousands of years. How can I allow you, a junior who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, to be so presumptuous!" said the man in black robe, raising his judge's pen and quickly writing down an identical character "封", and then pushed it upwards.
The two words were about to collide in mid-air, but the word written by A'du suddenly became more than ten times larger, instantly smashing the words written by the black-robed man, and pressing down on the black-robed man and the three Taoist ghosts like a mountain!
Those Taoist ghosts were so scared that their faces turned pale, their eyes wide open with horror, watching the huge golden words coming towards them. They wanted to run but were completely suppressed by the pressure and could not move at all!
The man in black robe was not in a much better situation. He raised his hand and desperately used the judge's pen to write out words again in a protest, but all of them hit the huge word "封" and shattered in an instant.
The man in black robe waved the judge's pen anxiously and awkwardly, not even bothering to lift up the hood on his head, revealing a middle-aged face.
The face had regular features and a certain dignity, but the expression was ferocious and impatient.
According to A'du, the man in black robe was a judge from the underworld who came to the human world secretly and took over the body of a living person.
Yun Qingqing looked at the face and frowned tightly.
Xiao Changheng stared at the man in black robe and was suddenly stunned, then took a deep breath.
"Why is it him?"
Yun Qingqing's expression paused, she turned back to look at Xiao Changheng and asked in a low voice:
"Do you know him?"
Xiao Changheng nodded lightly and spoke in a low voice with a heavy tone:
"He is...Emperor Bei Cang."
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at the man in black robe and narrowed her eyes.
She was somewhat surprised, but not particularly surprised. After all, just from the appearance of the body that had been taken over, she knew that the original owner's identity was extremely noble.
As the two men were asking and answering each other, the huge word "Seal" had already smashed straight towards the black-robed man and the three Taoist ghosts.
The Taoist priests and evil spirits screamed as they were pinned down by the golden text. Their entire souls were deformed and they were completely unable to move.
But the words went straight through the black-robed man's body and fell at his feet, as if they had no effect on him at all.
Just as the words fell, the black-robed man's body suddenly became stiff, the expression on his face froze, his eyes became empty, and his entire body seemed to have lost its soul, standing there in a daze without moving.
And below the big golden characters, there was another wailing soul. This was the real body of the Judge of the Underworld who had taken over the body of Emperor Beicang.
The body of Emperor Beicang lost its support and stood there blankly for a moment before slowly falling backwards, about to fall into the pool of blood.
Judge A'Du swung his pen deftly, drawing a long golden line and gently throwing it out. The golden line grew in the wind and turned into a golden ribbon, which wrapped up the Emperor of Beicang.
She raised her hand again, and the golden ribbon brought the body in front of her. She reached out and grabbed it, threw the Judge's Seal into the air, and the seal floated in front of her.
A'du picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the judge's seal, then pushed it gently.
Suddenly, the Judge's Seal emitted a buzzing sound, followed by a burst of golden light, and all the blood energy on it was swept away.
The small square seal began to grow larger. In just a few breaths, it grew to several feet in size. The golden light became more and more intense, covering the blood pool below the entire hall.
Along with the hissing sound, bursts of shrill ghost cries came from the blood pool, and black smoke emerged. The blood water below gradually became clear, and the resentful souls and evil spirits that had escaped the range of the blood water were finally purified by the golden light and were no longer affected by the blood pool.
The red color of the entire blood pool gradually faded, and the souls accumulated in it gradually calmed down. However, the eyes of the souls after calming down were dull and blank, and almost no intelligence could be seen.
A'Du's face was serious. He waved the judge's pen again and wrote a few golden words and entered them into the judge's seal. The seal made a buzzing sound again and released golden light.
The souls in the pool seemed to be inspired, and a look of peace appeared on their confused faces. They slowly floated up into the sky and lined up to enter the Judge Seal.
This process lasted for a full half hour, and finally all the countless souls were collected into the Judge's Seal.
A'du let out a long sigh.
Seeing that the matter was over, Yun Qingqing came to her side and said:
"Are you the judge of the underworld?"
A'Du shuddered and took a deep breath:
"Yunyunyun, Lord Yun, when did you come behind me..."
“…” Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly.
Is this girl really that serious? Why is she so scared?
