Chapter 443 Missed the Opportunity
Yun Qingqing looked at him and smiled sarcastically.
"Now you're thinking of kidnapping someone from a prestigious family? Fine, I wouldn't have needed those methods anyway."
Elder Peng noticed that he said "no need" rather than "don't use" those methods. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or even more nervous.
Yun Qingqing took out a small black mirror, spiritual power lit up at her fingertips, and wrote something on the mirror.
A moment later, a spooky aura suddenly emanated from the corner of the wall, and a strange bell sound came from somewhere.
When two ghost messengers, one black and one white, appeared from the corner of the wall, Elder Peng's legs almost gave out and he knelt down.
The black and white duo came in front of Yun Qingqing and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Yun summoned us two here. What's the matter?" Bai Wuchang still had the same squinting smile on his face that hadn't changed for thousands of years.
Elder Hong was stunned.
Who is Yun Qingqing? The ghost messenger actually saluted her!
But he didn't have much time to think. He saw Yun Qingqing pinching her fingers together, and the formation that trapped Elder Hong suddenly emitted a suction force, sucking out Elder Hong's soul.
“Let me go… What are you going to do…” Elder Hong’s soul kept struggling in the formation, but to no avail.
Bai Wuchang's eyelids jumped: "Soul Separation Technique? This..."
Yun Qingqing nodded and said calmly:
"Don't worry, as long as his soul returns to his body within twelve hours, nothing serious will happen."
Bai Wuchang was still a little confused:
"But what do you mean by suddenly... detaining a living soul and coming to us?"
Hei Wuchang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Yun Qingqing and said:
"What does your Excellency want to hear?"
Yun Qingqing thought to herself that it was still Hei Wuchang, who didn’t talk much but reacted quickly.
She raised her hand and grabbed Elder Hong's struggling soul, bringing it to her front, and smiled.
Elder Hong looked at her smile and suddenly felt creepy.
I only heard Yun Qingqing say:
"You don't need to interrogate him. The Underworld just needs to help me entertain him."
"Even if the judge doesn't have any record of this person's actions, Lord Yama can still find out with the Samsara Mirror."
"Just find out what he's done and, according to the rules of Hell, let him experience Hell for a few days before sending him back to me."
Elder Hong was so shocked after hearing these words that he almost lost his mind.
"What, what do you mean! I'm a cultivator, I shouldn't go to hell after death! And I'm not dead yet! Why, why should I go to hell?!"
Yun Qingqing ignored him.
However, Bai Wuchang's squinting smile, which remained unchanged for thousands of years, became somewhat meaningful, and he began to explain to him very considerately:
"Oh, so that's how it is! Elder, you've really hit the jackpot! You've actually offended Lord Yun, who controls the Eight Ghost Kings. Let him personally try you!"
Bai Wuchang's voice sounded inexplicably excited.
"Actually, we, the ghost messengers of the underworld, can't touch living people, but now that your soul has left your body, you are naturally under our control."
Bai Wuchang stood aside and explained patiently, while Hei Wuchang had already hooked Elder Hong with the soul-catching rope.
Elder Hong was completely unable to struggle and was trembling. If his soul was not in the hands of the ghost catcher, he would have been scared to death.
He howled:
"But I am a cultivator, and I have been enlightened! After I die, I obviously don't need to go to the underworld! Why do you take me down there and send me to hell?"
Bai Wuchang smiled with his eyes narrowed, and continued very kindly:
"First, your soul is out of your body, not completely dead. This is a gray area for us in the underworld. Generally speaking, the underworld would not intervene in your situation, but since Lord Yun needs it, it is completely fine for us to take care of it!"
Bai Wuchang said this with a smile and paused.
Elder Hong was so frightened that he was trembling with fear and had no time to think about what was wrong.
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Bai Wuchang.
"What about the second one?"
Of course I know the first one, but what about the second one with Bai Wuchang gasping for breath?
The smile on Bai Wuchang's face seemed to deepen a little:
"Secondly, since this is Lord Yun's order, even if it doesn't comply with the first point, it doesn't matter. We will still do as you say."
Yun Qingqing was a little surprised:
"Oh? I have such a great reputation in the underworld?"
"That's right! But you..." Bai Wuchang was about to answer excitedly, when suddenly Hei Wuchang, who was using the Soul-Binding Chain to pull Elder Hong, swung his arm and bumped into Bai Wuchang.
To outsiders, it seemed like he was careless, but Bai Wuchang suddenly reacted and took a breath.
"Lord Yun, you are the ruler of the Eight Ghost Kings of the Underworld! This rank in the Underworld is almost equivalent to being second only to Lord Yama. You usually keep a low profile. If you really want to get things done, your identity is the biggest pass!"
Yun Qingqing couldn't help but blink when she heard what he said.
When he got the Ghost King Order, he just thought that he would have the eight Ghost Kings to command and the income from the ghost city's vows, which would be very convenient.
I didn't expect that the holder of the Ghost King's Order had this identity. Doesn't it mean that I can walk around the underworld as I please in the future?
Bai Wuchang seemed to understand what he meant and smiled:
"Your Excellency, there is no need to doubt it. With the Ghost King's Order, you can walk freely in the underworld."
Yun Qingqing came back to her senses and smiled calmly:
"If that's the case, I think I'll have to find an opportunity to personally visit Lord Yan and thank him."
Bai Wuchang nodded, and together with Hei Wuchang, they captured Elder Hong's soul and prepared to leave.
Elder Hong had already collapsed. He didn't care about anything else and just kept begging the two ghost officials to let him go and not take him to hell.
The Black and White Impermanence have been ghost messengers for many years, and what they lack the most is a heart of stone. Elder Hong’s pleading is not even a noise to them.
Seeing this, Elder Hong had no choice but to turn to Yun Qingqing again.
"Senior Yun, Lord Yun, Aunt Yun! What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything, isn't that enough? You ask these two ghost messengers to let me go, and don't take me to hell! I don't want to go to hell!"
Yun Qingqing looked at him coldly:
"Oh, so you are well aware of the evil you have done before and what your fate will be in hell?"
Elder Hong's ghost begged for mercy even more miserably:
"I was truly just possessed by a ghost for a moment. I know I was wrong, and I'm willing to tell you everything I know! Please have mercy on me and forgive me!"
Yun Qingqing looked at him with a cold gaze, and her smile made him even more terrified:
"I gave you a chance before to tell the truth, but you missed it. Now there's no chance."
Yun Qingqing curled her lips and sneered:
"Go to hell and atone for your sins for a few days. After you return from the underworld, I can give you another chance to confess everything you know. If you don't cherish this opportunity and are dragged to the underworld again, don't blame me for not warning you!"
