Chapter 272 The Threat of Destruction

With wisps of smoke hanging in the darkness, Zi Xi and Xingyi strode towards the door of the underworld in the direction of the flickering fire.

The black iron gate is covered with ferocious silver-carved animal heads, with fierce eyes and sharp fangs. There were torches burning on the copper pillars on both sides, and the swaying flames reflected the animal heads on the ground vividly.

Zi Xi felt chilled in her heart and took two steps back involuntarily, but Xingyi was very calm and slowly raised his head to look at the plaque on the door. There were two large blood-red characters painted with cinnabar on the ebony wood - Yin Division .

As if sensing the aura of the Heavenly Clan people, the Black Iron Gate slowly opened. Xingyi turned around and glanced at Zi Xi, gesturing for her to follow him. Zi Xi immediately understood, gently grabbed Xing Yi's sleeve, and followed quietly. He went inside.

Different from the gloomy scene outside, although it is the underworld, the aura inside the palace is extremely gentle. This is quite different from Zi Xi's imagination. In her opinion, this place should be filled with ghosts crying and howling, making people feel terrified.

There are candlesticks all around, and there is a table and a stool in the middle. There are no other furnishings except that the place is spacious, even not as good as an ordinary house in the world.

"Are you sure this is here?" Zi Xi looked around cautiously, fearing that something scary would suddenly appear.

Xingyi was also very puzzled. Logically speaking, how could the dignified Ghost King's place be so crude? Could it be that we really looked in the wrong place? But the plaque outside clearly says "Yinsi"!

Just when the two were confused, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of the desk.

"Ah!" Zi Xi was startled and shouted.

Xingyi was also frightened by her cry and quickly held her hand.

The man in white bowed respectfully: "I wonder what your highness, the prince, is doing in coming to the underworld?"

The two of them took a closer look and saw what a kind-hearted old man!

Xingyi composed himself and said: "Your Excellency, are you the Lord of the Underworld?"

The old man in white nodded: "Exactly."

Zi Xi's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Are you the Ghost King?"

The old man did not answer immediately, but stared at the mark on Zi Xi's forehead for a while, and then smiled slightly and said: "The old man just helps the undead to eliminate their resentments and eliminate their attachments, so that they can die as soon as possible. How can the ghost king say it?"

For some reason, Zi Xi suddenly felt respect for this old man who was calm and self-reliant. Although he was the master of one of the six realms with the lowest sense of existence, his demeanor and manner were extraordinary. If he hadn't admitted it himself, it would have been really difficult. Associating him with "ghosts".

"Ahem." Zi Xi remembered the purpose of coming here and said in a sincere tone: "To be honest, the two of us came here to ask for something. I hope you can make it convenient."

The Lord of the Underworld lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then sighed: "There are laws in the world, and there is a cycle of cause and effect. Whatever you get, you must get something out. The convenience that the girl said is beyond my ability, I am really sorry."

Seeing that she was rejected so quickly, Zi Xi felt a little anxious: "You rejected me without even asking why it was convenient? You... aren't you also under the control of Guitian Realm here? He, he, he, he!"

Zi Xi pointed at Xingyi and said loudly: "He is the prince of the Celestial Clan! Why don't you listen to his orders?"

Xingyi tugged at Zixi: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."

The Underworld Lord smiled and shook his head: "Don't talk about the prince, even if the Emperor of Heaven comes in person, I won't be able to do anything convenient here."

Zi Xi was surprised: "Why?"

The Underworld Lord waved his hand, and the walls on all sides lit up instantly, and countless mirror images suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Mountain of knives, sea of ​​fire, purgatory, ice spring; iron eagle pecks eyes, iron dogs chew meat, iron chains strangle necks, iron pliers pull out tongues...

The piercing wails kept hitting Zixi's eardrums. She had a splitting headache, but she couldn't control her eyes and couldn't close them even if she wanted to.

There are many names on Sanshengshi, but they are all forgotten on the bridge.

All kinds of physical persecution and mental torture were beyond Zi Xi and Xing Yi's understanding of the word "miserable".

"That's enough!" Xingyi angrily broke the mirror image and hugged Zi Xi tightly.

The hall became quiet, but Zi Xi's heart couldn't calm down. She was breathing heavily, as if she was about to suffocate and die in the next moment.

Seeing her like this, the Underworld Lord sighed deeply: "Alas! If I break the rules for you today, there will really be no fairness in these six realms. Girl, you can use your own means to help those around you. The mortals are lucky to escape the suffering of the Six Paths cycle, but you can't save everyone. In this case, I will treat everyone equally. If you want to ask me for help, please forgive me for being unable to do so." Zixi trembled and raised it. On her hand, red lines slowly appeared on the green ribbon. She originally wanted to entrust the thousands of wronged souls of Yi Qijun to the Lord of the Underworld, hoping that he would be lenient so that these soldiers could be reincarnated into a good family and live a simple life in the next life. It went smoothly, but it seems that this wish will never be realized.

Clenching her fists, Zi Xi felt the shouts of the soldiers. They did not want to die. Even if they were just a ray of soul, they wanted to be with Zi Xi and their Fourth Highness.

Closing her eyes, Zi Xi secretly made a decision in her heart. The mark on her forehead lit up. She slowly rose up, spread her hands, and transformed into two extremely bright dark purple light balls...

"Zixi! What are you going to do? Calm down!" Xingyi exclaimed.

Opening his eyes suddenly, his sharp gaze stared straight at the Lord of the Underworld, Zi Xi said fiercely: "Although I can't redeem all the dead souls, I can destroy them! The souls will fly away and there will be no reincarnation! The cause and effect in your mouth will also disappear with it. , It’s not you who has the final say between justice and injustice!”

The Lord of the Underworld obviously did not expect that the prince of the Heavenly Clan would bring such a crazy girl. He was really frightened by Zi Xi's actions: "Girl! Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"

Zi Xi raised the ball of light above her head and said loudly: "Xingyi, give him the list of owners of the 268 weapons in the secret room of Biyou Pavilion! I want their souls!"

Xingyi's pupils trembled. So many things had happened, and she had almost forgotten those people. At first, Xinruo only mentioned them, and then she remembered them...

After laying two hundred and sixty-eight names on the wall, Xingyi already understood why this girl did this.

After taking a look at the names on the wall, Zi Xi continued to shout to the Lord of the Underworld: "Also, immediately let Xing Wu, Teng Xuanyang's biological mother Zhao Fei, Yue Yao's mortal mother, General Lei Wanting, Xin Ruo's biological parents, and... …And if King Nandan passes away smoothly, in the next life, and the next life after that, your underworld will not be destroyed, and they will continue to reincarnate smoothly and not suffer in the world!"

madman! Absolutely crazy!

The Lord of the Underworld was stunned on the spot, listening to Zi Xi's ridiculous words, not knowing what to say.

Seeing the Underworld Lord, the color of the light ball in Zi Xi's hand gradually became lighter and became more and more similar to the mark on his forehead.

Only then did the Lord of Hades realize the seriousness of the matter: "That, that... that is..."

Xingyi said: "Yes, that is the power of Wu Nian that can destroy the world!"

The Lord of Hades was shocked: "What on earth do you want to do!"

Zi Xi looked up, her voice a little hoarse: "If you don't agree! I will let the water from the Nine Springs pour in! Destroy all the undead souls in your underworld!"

"Ah..." The Underworld Lord staggered back several steps, waving his hands frequently and saying: "No, no, no! You must not do it, girl! I... I promise you that is..."

Hearing these words, Zi Xi withdrew her Wu Nian power, fell to the ground, and said sternly: "How can I not save everyone? The moment I stopped, I saved them!"

This time, it was the Lord of the Underworld's turn to be speechless. What is "salvation"? Helping him escape from suffering is salvation. How can stopping evil thoughts in time not count?

The Underworld Lord nodded. This girl did not have the ability to save everyone, but she had the heart. Considering this, it was not a bad idea to follow her wish.

"Okay, I'll do it right now, please wait a moment."

With that said, the Underworld Lord was about to walk out.

"Stop!" Zi Xi stopped him.

"Huh? Does the girl have any other instructions?"

Zi Xi looked at Xingyi and saw a heavy expression on his face and a frown on his face. Zi Xi smiled and said softly: "Don't look at it if it hurts you."

Xingyi's eyes were a little moist, and after several attempts to speak but stopped, he turned around silently.

Walking up to the Underworld Lord, Zi Xi bowed deeply: "You just said that if the rules here are broken, then there will be no fairness in the Six Realms. I deeply believe this statement. ,so……"

Zi Xi paused and said firmly: "Those people I mentioned just now, whatever their reasons were in the previous life, and whatever punishment they have to suffer here, I will bear it for them!"

The Lord of Hades was stunned on the spot, his mouth half-opened, his eyes unblinking as he stared at the thin girl in front of him, silent for a long time...
