Hell Emperor

Chapter 106 Lord Guangwang Palace-Reward

"I'm telling you, your majesty, this is what happened... It's all because of the ghost Jie's dim eyesight and incompetence, which led us into the trap set by Qin Qiong, causing us to lose the opportunity. In addition, the ghost and tiger frequently appear and are stubborn. It didn’t work, which led to the final failure.”

In the majestic Yama Hall, Xie Bi'an knelt at the feet of the master of the hall and spoke plausibly:

"I fought hard and almost captured the enemy, but it was because of their drag that I fell short..."

"It's really useless! If the four great judges in the palace were not free, how could I give you this task?"

After listening to Xie Bi'an's report, the master of the Guangwang Palace was furious. The vast dragon power burst out from his body, and the armrests of the throne were also pinched by him to create deep dents.

Xie Bi'an lowered his head deeply, not daring to look directly at the palace master. Under the suppression of the dragon's power, a sense of trembling filled his whole body, cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and his breathing seemed to be stagnant due to this.

The wrath of the palace master is unbearable by anyone. Even the fourth-level impermanence who is used to being arrogant and domineering is as docile as a sheep in front of the palace master.

If the mission fails, you will be punished, not to mention that this is a mission assigned by the palace master personally, so the punishment will be even more severe. No matter whether they throw him into the Netherworld Ghost Prison or kill him directly, no one will speak for him.

Xie Bi'an's head was shaking and he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Qiong's strength is extraordinary. Please give me another chance. I will never let you down!"

The Lord of Guangwang Hall did not answer, but stared at Xie Bi'an with his menacing dragon eyes.

As time passed by, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more depressing. Xie Bian did not dare to breathe, and his heart slipped into the abyss of despair.

It seems that this time, it is difficult to escape the punishment of the palace master.

However, being able to save one's life from Qin Qiong is more important than anything else.

Thinking of the people who participated in the mission together, Xie Bi'an sneered. They had all been defeated by Qin Qiong. They were afraid that they would not be able to escape. What awaited them was the end of their lives.

Compared with several people, his situation is undoubtedly much better. Even if he will be severely punished by the palace master, he has saved his life. As long as he is alive, there is hope.

Just as Xie Bi'an was trembling, he heard another waiter enter the palace and report: "Your Majesty, Gui Cha Jie, Gui Cha Hu, and Gui Cha Ba have come to see you, and they have brought back Qin Qiong's soul!"

"This is impossible..." Xie Bian's eyes narrowed, unable to believe what he heard.

When he escaped, several people had clearly lost their ability to fight and could only lie on the ground waiting to die.

Qin Qiong's strength was astonishing and he easily crushed everyone. Unless the judge took action, no one could do anything to him!

However, instead of dying in Qin Qiong's hands, those people captured his soul. How could Xie Bian accept this?

"Oh?" Yang Guang glanced at Xie Bian with his evil dragon eyes and ordered, "Let them come into the palace to see me!"

Xie Bi'an lowered his kneeling head lower and said continuously: "Your Majesty, Qin Qiong's strength is amazing, far beyond what they can handle. There must be something fishy about this matter. Please interrogate Gui Chajie and his party carefully. Maybe it's him. Qin Qiong plans to take this opportunity to assassinate, so your Majesty must be extremely careful!"

Ye Jie, who had just entered the palace, also heard Xie Bi'an's words and thought to himself that it was terrible.

The spirit-fixing talisman behind Qin Qiong had long since lost its effectiveness. Although he pretended to be unable to move and was carried into the palace by Han Qinhu, it was still an act. If the palace master was alerted, there would probably be no good results.

"You mean, with my ability to suppress an era, I can't even deal with Qin Qiong now?"

Xie Bi'an's reminder not only failed to please Yang Guang, but made him, Long Yan, furious.

The dull strong wind hit him head-on, and Xie Bian did not dare to dodge. He heard a loud noise, and his figure flew out and hit the pillars in the hall. Most of his soul was shattered like a rag doll.

Severe pain spread throughout his body, but he did not dare to fall down. He endured the pain and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

"Shut up! If you dare to say another word, go to the Soul-Eating Abyss!"

Yang Guang slowly retracted his hand and looked at Ye Jie and others aside. His fascinating dragon eyes stayed on Qin Qiong for a moment: "He said that you were all defeated by Qin Qiong and the mission ended in failure. Now it seems that it is clearly you Victory. Tell me the truth about your experience in this mission."

Ye Jie was shocked in his heart and was about to speak when he heard Han Qinhu on the side take the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, Xie Bi'an is right. Qin Qiong's strength is amazing. We have already been defeated by him. At the critical moment, if Ye Jie hadn't turned the tide, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape..."

Han Qinhu told the whole story. When they heard that Ye Jie invited Guan Gong, both Xie Bi'an and Yang Guang's expressions changed.

Xie Bi'an looked in disbelief and murmured: "How is this possible... How could Guan Gong, who is so powerful in the world and slays all demons, possess a little person like Ye Jie?"

"That's it... Ye Jie, I am very pleased with your actions, and you should be highly rewarded! As for Xie Bi'an, you ran away before the battle and regarded my orders as nothing. There is no place for you in Guangwang Palace, so you are in the shadow. Gu, please reflect on it!" Yang Guang said slowly.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty." Xie Bi'an replied quickly, saying he was grateful, but in fact he looked bitter.

Being sent to the harsh Shadow Valley, it can be said that he is completely far away from the core of power of Guangwang Palace. For many years to come, he will not be able to return to Hades until the palace master's anger subsides or he is needed. The transfer.

Thinking of this, he roared in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Jie were filled with resentment that was difficult to resolve.

He had been working hard in the underworld for many years before he gained the trust of Lord Guang Wang. Unexpectedly, all his efforts were in vain because of this mission.

Why were Ye Jie and others able to come back alive? Why not just die in Qin Qiong's hands? In that case, he could put all the responsibility on Ye Jie and others, and he would not be punished by the palace master.

He didn't dare to look at Ye Jie again, fearing that if he took one more look, he would be unable to suppress the resentment in his heart and fight against him. He kowtowed to the master of the palace and left Guangwang Hall alone.

"Shadow Valley... isn't that the place where Wei Zheng and others are going? Two Realms Mountain is right in the center of Shadow Valley." Qin Qiong's message rang in Ye Jie's heart.

Even when facing the former emperor, Qin Qiong's expression remained unchanged and he could not see anything strange at all. Ye Jie couldn't help but secretly admire him for his amazing determination.

"In the Shadow Valley, there are a large number of evil cultivators who follow the path of ghosts and immortals. A large part of their skills are spread from the underworld." Ye Jie also sent a message back.

In order to fulfill Poria Cocos' last wish, Ye Jie once had a fierce battle with the evil cultivator Black Eagle Master in the Shadow Valley, and found Xuan Yingbu and Xie Bian's ghost order.

At that time, Ye Jie only thought that Master Black Eagle was the contact person selected by Xie Bian. Now, looking at it, the Shadow Valley is clearly inextricably linked to the underworld.

While Ye Jie was thinking, he heard Yang Guang say: "Ye Jie, you have made the first contribution to this mission, and you should be heavily rewarded! Tell me, what reward do you want? Whether you want a skill or a magic weapon, I will satisfy you!”

Hearing this, both Li Ba and Han Qinhu had a bit of envy in their eyes.

The master of the palace always sticks to his word and never goes back on his word, and that also means that Ye Jie will receive an extremely generous reward. Ye Jie made such a great contribution, how could the palace master's reward be a mortal thing?

They wanted this treatment, but unfortunately, they were completely defeated in front of Qin Qiong and were not eligible for this reward. Only Ye Jie, who turned the tide, was eligible for this reward!

Ye Jie thought for a moment, raised his left hand with two fingers missing, and said, "Your Majesty, my soul has collapsed under the heavy pressure. Is there any technique or magic weapon that can restore me to its original state?"

Ye Jie originally wanted a book to improve Xia Wei's combat power, but his gradually disintegrating soul made him change his mind.

It is conceivable that in the future, Ye Jie's soul will disintegrate more when he transforms into a sword under the Nether Spirit Art.

He didn't know how long his soul could hold on. Before his soul completely disintegrated, he had to find a way to cure the disintegration. He took this opportunity to ask the Lord of Guangwang Palace.

Yang Guang said calmly: "I have several techniques that can heal disintegrated souls. One method is Li Dai Tao Zong, which allows you to transfer all injuries, including disintegration, to the souls of future generations. One method is to absorb the soul and restore the disintegrated spirit body by swallowing the soul of a higher realm. If the will is not strong, the memory and character of the person being swallowed may affect you in turn. Although Yuan Shouyi's method cannot cure the injury, it can strengthen the soul and make disintegration more difficult to occur. "

After a pause, he continued: "In addition to martial arts, some elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures can also heal disintegrating injuries. Just like the rare flower of the other side in the underworld, just one flower is enough to make you recover immediately. As is."

Ye Jie thought about it and found out that Li Daitao's method was too vicious and required the sacrifice of the souls of future generations. Xie Xinyu, whose cultivation was completely ruined, was the best example. The method of absorbing souls is too weird, and one's sanity will also be affected by it.

As for the treasures of heaven, materials and earth, they do not require as much hard work as the exercises, but they are one-time use and are gone after use. If the soul disintegrates next time, you will still have to think of other methods.

After much deliberation, only the method of Bao Yuan and Shou Yi was the most suitable, and it would also be helpful for Ye Jie to transform into a sword in the future.

"I want to embrace Yuan Shouyi's method." Ye Jie replied.

Yang Guang snapped his fingers, and soon a waiter brought a simple classic with an orange cover to Ye Jie.

Ye Jie took the book and saw the Dragon Yuan Sutra written on it. He flipped through it and found that it was a mid-grade Heavenly Skills book. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Yang Guang slowly said: "This is the reward you deserve. I need to remind you that the Dragon Yuan Jing is very difficult to practice. It is to imitate the dragon's breathing method and turn the spiritual power in the body into Dragon Yuan. Achieve the effect of holding the Yuan Shouyi. With your qualifications, if you can't get started, you should give up as soon as possible. "

Ye Jie thanked him, and then heard Yang Guang say: "As for you two, go to the palace to receive a local mid-level skill."

Han Qinhu and Li Ba were overjoyed and thanked them one after another.

Just as he was talking, he heard the waiter enter the hall and report: "Your Majesty, in accordance with your order, Judge Zhang has arrived outside the hall."

"Let him come in." Yang Guang spoke slowly.

The waiter went to report, and soon, a tall figure with a strong aura walked into the hall. With his arrival, the vast aura that belonged to the judge also filled the hall.

Sensing the aura of the visitor, Qin Qiong's figure trembled slightly.

"Be careful...do you know him?" Ye Jie noticed Qin Qiong's strange behavior and sent a message to him in his heart.

The person who entered the hall was Judge Zhang Xutuo, one of the four judges of Guangwang Hall. In the past, Ye Jie had only heard of his name, but had never seen him in person.

"Yes... I used to work under him." Qin Qiong replied in a voice transmission.

Ye Jie felt something in his heart. He had heard before that Qin Qiong had a past with two of the four judges, and now it seemed to be true.

"I heard from the maids that it was Judge Zhang who took away the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe River. Why is there only him now, but not the soul of the Dragon King?" Ye Jie was a little puzzled.

Qin Qiong sent a voice transmission: "That dragon soul is probably in danger... Yang Guang's practice of the Divine Dragon Transformation requires swallowing the dragon blood and dragon marrow of other divine dragons, and even the dragon soul, in order to make the practice more advanced. The Dragon Yuan Sutra you just got can certainly hold the origin and keep the unity, but if you practice it to perfection, I'm afraid you will be immediately targeted by him and become the nutrients for his practice to improve."

"What..."

Ye Jie's eyes trembled, but he carefully controlled this emotion. He seemed to be slightly shocked by the arrival of the judge, but his heart was already in turmoil.

However, after hearing Qin Qiong say that at least the Dragon Yuan Sutra needs to be practiced to the perfection stage before Yang Guang will target it, Ye Jie's heart slowly relaxed.

With his qualifications, it is still very difficult to get started with the Dragon Yuan Sutra. It may take a long time to practice it to perfection, so there is no need to worry at all.

What Ye Jie was more concerned about was the mermaid woman in the soul-calling banner. If the Dragon King was dead, her last wish would not be fulfilled.

Fortunately, Judge Zhang's words soon dispelled Ye Jie's worries:

"Your Majesty, the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe has been properly settled. He is full of resentment towards Li Tang and voluntarily becomes the pillar of the Ghost Gate."

Yang Guang laughed loudly: "Very good! When the Ghost Gate opens, the flag of the Great Sui will once again fly in the world. Before that day comes, you, my dear ministers, must work harder to restore the Great Sui!"

Yang Guang raised his arms and shouted, with a raging ambition in his dragon eyes: "Pass the order, from today, the Guangwang Palace will enter a state of preparation. The reincarnation has ended, and the passages leading to the reincarnation well and the soul-devouring abyss are closed. All the souls of the dead in the world, whether good or evil, regardless of their past, are ghost soldiers and ghosts, fighting for me. Any ghost messenger who privately brings people into the reincarnation shall be punished with soul scattering!"
