Hell Emperor.

Chapter 267: Shura Jie - Stealing the Master
Everyone was attracted by Ye Jie's words, but seeing that he had a weak breath and was wearing a Shura mask, they couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Do you really know how to find the real murderer?"

"Are you lying to us? With your second-level cultivation, how can you do something that even a ghost fairy can't do?"

"In my opinion, we should think of other ways. He is definitely wasting our time."

Unlike everyone else who was full of suspicion, Su Miao showed extraordinary trust in Ye Jie. Knowing that he looked ordinary, he actually had some extraordinary qualities, she took the initiative to speak:
"Everyone, let's listen to what he has to say. Maybe he can really help us solve this troublesome matter."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Jie picked up the Landslide Talisman in his hand and explained loudly: "Not long ago, that thief attacked my companion, but was injured by my companion's forbidden ancient talisman. As long as I use this talisman in my hand, it can trigger a chain of injuries, so as to confirm his identity. Now he is trapped in the Hades formation and has no way to escape. This talisman can also come in handy."

Hearing this, Su Miao was overjoyed. She never thought that Ye Jie actually had such a hidden card in his hand. This way, she would be able to reveal the identity of that person!

Seeing that the attack on Shura was beginning to unfold and the identity of the real murderer was about to be discovered, Ren Changhong was not happy at all. Instead, he looked worried.

The news she got from Ye Jie made her uneasy. She always felt that she had overlooked something. From time to time, her eyes swept over the Shura King behind her, and she felt vaguely uneasy.

"In that case, Shura Jie, please activate this talisman to help us find the real culprit." Su Miao spoke slowly.

Ye Jie nodded slowly, and as his mind moved, the khaki talisman paper in his hand ignited with an unknown fire. The fire spread, and what floated out from the paper was not choking thick smoke, but a vast spiritual power that caused mountains to collapse and the earth to crack!
The spiritual power fell on the ground, immediately triggering a chain reaction like a tidal wave, causing the people around to shake and fall down. Fortunately, everyone had their own cultivation and did not fall down in embarrassment.

"cough……"

At this moment, a cough was so shrill, mixed with a low groan of pain that was difficult to conceal.

Following the sound, I saw that the one who spoke at this moment was Xuehe Shura from the Demon Palace! His face was ashen, as if he was suppressing the pain in his body, and even a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth unnaturally.

The strange behavior of Xuehe Shura startled everyone, and they quickly retreated to a distance. Suddenly, a large circle appeared around Xuehe Shura, making him look particularly conspicuous.

"It seems we have found the answer." Ye Jie spoke slowly.

Seeing this, Ren Changhong's pupils shrank slightly, but he still tried to remain calm: "Elder Xuehe... I believe this must be a misunderstanding. You are the elder responsible for protecting Shura, so how could you attack an innocent Shura?"

Su Miao said in a cold voice: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, the Palace Master will decide. Xuehe Shura, please come with us to see the Palace Master of the Nether Spirit and explain the whole story. If you are really innocent, you don't have to be afraid. The Palace Master will definitely give you justice."

Facing the doubtful looks of the crowd, Xuehe Shura displayed the bearing of a ghost immortal. His face was calm and his eyes were deep, as if he was not disturbed by the outside world at all: "I have another question."

Ren Changhong quickly said, "Elder Xuehe, do you have any other questions? The other Shuras will definitely help you solve them."

Xuehe Shura did not speak. He slowly turned his gaze, and finally his eyes fell on Ye Jie who was standing beside him. He asked the puzzled question in his heart: "How did you do it?"

"Are you talking about the talisman? That was given to me by my friend." Ye Jie answered slowly.

"No... I'm talking about the Evil Spirit Pressing Body. That's my unique skill. How did you perform it? You just used the Evil Spirit Pressing Body on me, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Xuehe Shura's words were equivalent to admitting in disguise that he was the attacker just now. The tragedy that Shura had been attacked in recent days was not caused by the troublemakers in the Nether Spirit Hall, but all by him alone!
Ren Changhong's pupils widened. The people who attacked Shura one after another were actually people from the Demon Palace. She couldn't understand why. How could such a thing happen?

"Elder Xuehe...why?" Ren Changhong asked in a trembling voice, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Xuehe Shura snorted coldly: "His Highness Moruo will never accept failure. According to the calculations of the Shura wise men in the palace, the possibility of defeating the people of the Netherworld Palace with the Netherworld Divine Art is very small. For this reason, we have already made preparations for both situations. Originally, my next target should have been you, but this happened..."

At this point, even though Ren Changhong was not usually sensitive to such things, he immediately sorted out his thoughts, and with that, he felt a chill in his heart.

According to Xuehe Shura, all the Shuras who participated in this mission were abandoned by the Demon Palace. To be precise, they were sacrificed as pawns, and then the dirty water was thrown on the Nether Palace, so that they could start a war with justification and seize the main account with absolute strength.

As for those Shuras who died unclearly during the mission and did not know who the murderer was until the last moment, no one would care about them.

Now, when Xuehe Shura's identity was exposed, it also meant the failure of the plan. He simply took off his disguise and showed Shura's violent and cruel side.

"How could this happen... I tried my best for this competition and did everything I could, but His Highness Moro actually ordered me to be killed..."

Ren Changhong's heart trembled. Even though she had long known that the Demon Palace was extremely dangerous and the Shuras were all cruel and ruthless, she still felt lost when she was actually abandoned as a pawn by the Demon Palace. It took her a long time to recover.

At this moment, Ye Jie's words came to her ears: "You should have expected this. The people in the Demon Palace are not your family, and they will betray each other without any worries. Now you finally know how your disciple felt when she learned that you wanted to kill her?"

"You..." Ye Jie's words made Ren Changhong's heart tremble. She rarely refuted, but just lowered her head and murmured, "What should I do? Now, I am no longer the descendant of Xuannv, and even in the Demon Palace, I have no place to stay..."

"You should go back to your family. I mean, your real family." Ye Jie spoke slowly, pointing out the way forward for her.

“Really…” Ren Changhong was touched by Ye Jie’s words. She raised her head, and a look of loss appeared in her pupils under the Shura mask. “But it is impossible to escape from the Demon Palace. Once you are a Shura, you will be a Shura for life. No one can escape…”

Ye Jie sighed. The dilemma that Ren Changhong faced was not the same dilemma that he faced. He slowly replied, "Don't worry, there will always be a way..."

As he was speaking, a fierce killing intent came towards him. Ye Jie's pupils shrank slightly, but he saw that Xuehe Shura no longer suppressed the breath of the ghost fairy. The majestic and vast immortal energy shocked a large number of low-level people around him. If it weren't for the ghost fairy of the Nether Spirit Hall who stepped forward to block and fight with him, he would have killed him long ago. Xuehe Shura's sight passed through the many obstacles and stared at Ye Jie, and he let out a hoarse roar: "You haven't told me yet, how did you perform the evil ghost pressure! Answer quickly, otherwise, I will make your soul fly away!"

Ren Changhong was somewhat surprised by Xuehe Shura's words. She looked at Ye Jie with confusion on her face, "Did he make a mistake? How could you possibly perform such a profound skill as the Evil Spirit Pressing Down on the Body? With your realm, it's impossible no matter how you think about it."

In response, Ye Jie just coughed dryly and corrected the mistake in Ren Changhong's words: "He is not wrong, I did use the evil spirit pressure just now."

Ren Changhong was stunned. She looked at Ye Jie with her eyebrows raised and her cold eyes full of suspicion. Even Ye Jie couldn't help feeling guilty under her gaze.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, as if she had found the answer: "I know, it's the Star-Moon Exquisite Moth! When I asked you about her effect, you were vague about it. So this is her ability!"

Hearing this, Ye Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not think about the six-sided stitching of the pages. After all, that kind of thing was too unreasonable.

"You're right. The ability of the Star-Moon Exquisite Moth is to observe the skills performed by others so that I can learn from them." Ye Jie spoke slowly, explaining the power of the Star-Moon Exquisite Moth.

"Learning martial arts secretly? This kind of ability, hiss..."

After learning about the unique power of the Xingyue Linglong Moth, Ren Changhong couldn't help but gasp.

Martial arts have always been extremely precious. The more powerful the martial arts, the more valuable they are. Those truly top-notch secrets cannot be learned no matter how much good deeds one has done. They are only sealed in a few top forces. Ordinary people can only admire the power of those martial arts but will never have the chance to learn them.

With the power of the Xingyue Linglong Moth, Ye Jie was able to steal the skills from the master without leaving any trace, and secretly learn the most advanced skills. How could this result not surprise Ren Changhong?

Thinking of this, Ren Changhong's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Jie. They were full of vigilance. He was afraid that his martial arts skills had been secretly learned by him.

Noticing the change in Ren Changhong's expression, Ye Jie shook his head helplessly and explained, "Don't worry. To secretly learn the skills, you need to use the power of the Star-Moon Linglong Moth. The higher the level of the skills, the more power is consumed. If it is overused, it will cause the soul of the Ghost Butterfly to disintegrate."

Hearing this, Ren Changhong nodded slightly, but his eyes were still filled with lingering emotion.

"The power of the Netherworld Divine Art is truly extraordinary. You just learned the skill of the evil spirit pressing on you, and now you can use it to deal with Xuehe Shura, leaving him with an unforgettable lesson. I wonder what level of skill you have mastered. Should I say that the Star-Moon Exquisite Moth is worthy of being a fourth-grade Netherworld magic weapon..."

Ren Changhong was filled with emotion. In her eyes, Ye Jie, who was extremely mediocre, seemed to have ushered in the day of turning things around with the help of the Xingyue Linglong Moth.

Ye Jie did not explain much about this.

Although the power of the Star-Moon Linglong Moth is strong, it is far not as strong as Ren Changhong imagined.

The martial arts secretly learned by using the Star-Moon Linglong Moth are only at the entry level at best. Moreover, since there is no manual on the martial arts, it is difficult to improve the subsequent level of the martial arts. It can be said that the entry level is the pinnacle.

Even if it is the most advanced magical skill, it is difficult to exert its power in the entry-level stage. Only when the level of the skill is raised to a higher level can the power be demonstrated.

Even if ordinary people get the Xingyue Linglong Moth, they can only rely on it to learn a lot of miscellaneous introductory skills, which is annoying. But when this power is placed on Ye Jie, it is suddenly different.

With the help of six-sided suture pages, Ye Jie can freely modify the level of his martial arts, and the price he needs to pay is just some good deeds.

This also means that when Ye Jie uses the Star-Moon Linglong Moth to secretly learn the top-level magic skills, he can even reversely improve the level of the magic skills to a level stronger than the original owner of the skills!

When the Star-Moon Linglong Moth is paired with six-sided stitched pages, the power it displays has infinite possibilities.

Ren Changhong only knew one of the facts, but failed to see the biggest secret hidden in Ye Jie. Ye Jie had no intention of explaining this.

On the side, Su Miao and the ghost immortals in the Nether Spirit Palace were fighting with the Blood River Shura.

After all, this is the home ground of the Nether Spirit Palace. Although Su Miao's realm is not as good as Xuehe Shura's, with the help of the power of the Netherworld Array, he becomes more and more courageous as the battle goes on. The pure white sword in his hand, which is as clean as jade, poses a great threat to Xuehe Shura from time to time. Instead, Xuehe Shura, who has a higher realm, gradually falls into a disadvantage.

This battle also alarmed many ghost immortals in the Nether Spirit Palace. They gathered outside the blockade of the formation, waiting for the formation to be lifted, and then they would attack together to completely capture Xuehe Shura.

The enemy is numerous and we are few, Xuehe Shura gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes filled with hatred. Although his realm is ranked fourth, there are also many fourth-level ghost immortals in the Nether Spirit Palace. There are more than thirty in the palace alone, leaving him with no way to escape.

Seeing that the hope of escape was slim, Xuehe Shura's face flashed with ferocity, and his sight quickly locked onto Ye Jie who was waiting on the side. It was his repeated sabotage that exposed his identity, and the plan of the Demon Palace Master also failed completely!

Thinking of this, Xuehe Shura could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He secretly practiced his internal energy, and his body melted away, turning into an endless flow of blood. Like a rapidly moving blood-colored streak, he brought up a gust of fishy wind in the air, and forced his way out of the encirclement of the ghost messengers of the Nether Spirit Palace, rushing straight towards Ye Jie.

"Oops……"

Sensing the murderous intent from Xuehe Shura, Ren Changhong took a breath of cold air. The hateful attack from the fourth-turn ghost immortal was not something she and Ye Jie could withstand. It seemed that only death was waiting for them.

Ye Jie's expression remained unchanged as he stared at Xuehe Shura indifferently. He concentrated and held his breath, then once again used the Evil Ghost Pressure Technique that he had secretly learned.

Xuehe Shura's movements froze and his body stiffened. Even this brief gap was enough for Su Miao to activate the Hades formation and call on the powerful reinforcements in the palace to take action.

Above the zenith, a divine light suddenly shone, and a divine sword surrounded by purple air floated down, piercing the blood-colored silk of the incarnation of Blood River Shura squarely. In an instant, the blood boiled and bubbled, and layers of blood mist rose up. Sharp explosions continued to spread, like the roars of countless wronged souls. With a loud bang, Blood River Shura disappeared into thin air and ceased to exist.
