Hell Emperor

Chapter 155 Ye Jie - Lobbying

Seeing the hungry ghosts approaching fiercely and unwilling to let go of the delicious meal delivered to their door, both Ye Jie and Li Ba felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

"Now that the matter is over, do you have any other good ideas?" Li Ba snorted.

"That's a good question." Ye Jie took a deep breath, "I suggest you run."

Finally, a third-level hungry ghost couldn't suppress the hunger in his heart and rushed towards Li Ba, intending to swallow the two of them.

What awaited the hungry ghost was Li Ba's fiercely swinging red fist.

After entering the fourth level, Li Ba's strength has been greatly improved, and he can explode with the power of an elephant between his fists and feet.

The red fist struck the front of the hungry ghost's head, making a muffled sound of bones breaking and soul shattering. The hungry ghost's forehead was dented and his soul was shattered on the spot, leaving no trace.

The death of one hungry ghost, instead of deterring the nearby hungry ghosts, actually ignited the anger in the hearts of the other hungry ghosts.

Dozens of hungry ghosts blocking the road rushed towards him. Li Ba waved his arms and swept away the hungry ghosts. Taking advantage of his rank, he opened a path in the circle of hungry ghosts, but he moved forward. The pace soon stopped as the fourth-level hungry ghost took action.

"Why are you running away? You might as well show kindness and become our food to relieve everyone's hunger pain. Isn't it a great good deed?"

The one who blocked the road was Wang Hu, the commander of the hungry ghosts. He was bloated, but his speed was not slow at all. In fact, he was more agile than Li Ba.

After a brief battle, Li Ba, who wanted to escape, was beaten back into the siege of the hungry ghosts.

The violent collision made Li Ba's arms tremble uncontrollably, and the soreness in his hands made Li Ba feel extremely bad: "No, that hungry ghost is at the peak of the fourth level. With my strength, I'm afraid it's not his opponent."

Ye Jie didn't answer, and then heard Wang Hu say: "A group of monks from the Western Regions came here in the past. After learning about our experience, they were so kind that in order to alleviate our pain, they were willing to feed ghosts with their bodies and become our food. Have a good meal. You have brought news from the king, why don’t you carry out the good deeds to the end?”

Just as he was talking, the dark soul-breaking arrows whizzed towards him. Wang Hu dodged to avoid them, and the soul-breaking arrows passed by his body.

At the same time, Ye Jie's voice came to his ears: "It seems you are unwilling to accept my kindness."

"You call this good intention?" Wang Hu said angrily.

"Of course. As long as I save you, you won't have to endure the torture of hunger and will be out of the sea of ​​suffering." Ye Jie said with emotion.

"You!" Wang Hu was provoked by him and could no longer suppress his anger. He attacked fiercely. Ye Jie took advantage of the situation and hid behind Li Ba.

Under the fierce attack, Li Ba complained incessantly, but thinking about Ye Jie's answer, he couldn't help but feel a bit funny. In the verbal confrontation, Ye Jie would not be at a disadvantage.

A hungry ghost came over quietly and was about to pounce on Ye Jie. He was spotted by the sharp-eyed Li Ba and punched him, leaving him stunned.

Wang Hu took advantage of this opportunity and launched a fierce attack. With an explosion, Li Ba was blasted into the group of hungry ghosts, knocking away a large number of nearby hungry ghosts. His Dharma Body also became extremely dim, and he found it difficult to maintain his strength.

Li Ba climbed up in embarrassment, his steps were shaky, and he held on to hold on to his body. He said to Ye Jie: "If this continues, we will all be doomed...Ye Jie, please think of a way!"

Wang Hu pressed forward step by step, gearing up and saying, "Why are you still resisting? Isn't it good to be the food of the hungry ghosts?"

Ye Jie also understood that the matter was urgent, reached into his arms, and took out two spiritual talismans.

These two spiritual talismans were drawn by Nan Linghe himself.

One of them is a forbidden ancient talisman certified by many talisman masters. It is astonishingly powerful. It has six neat magical characters painted on it. The prototype of the ancient talisman is related to the seal of the King of Demons. I don’t know which master left it. Down. The other one looked unremarkable, just a middle-grade spiritual talisman.

Ye Jie glanced at the six-character Great Ming Talisman and used the forbidden ancient talisman to deal with the hungry ghosts. He couldn't help but feel a little painful: "Let's see the effect of the middle-grade talisman. I heard from Nan Linghe that this oil pot talisman can reduce hot oil and burn it." Enemies in a large area...If that doesn't work, I have to hand over the forbidden ancient talisman to save my life."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie no longer hesitated and immediately activated the power in the talisman.

As Ye Jie's thoughts moved, the spiritual talisman floated up. The flames engulfed the spiritual talisman in an instant and burned it away. The unique power contained in the spiritual talisman was also released.

Spiritual power gathered above everyone's heads, summoning dull dark clouds, and the light dimmed.

Feeling the unique aura, the hungry ghosts couldn't help but stop what they were doing, looked up, their noses twitching, and even the two people in the siege couldn't care less.

"What's that smell?"

"He just used a spiritual talisman. It must be the effect of the spiritual talisman, but why... is that aura so alluring?"

The hungry ghosts whispered and looked stunned. Seeing that everyone was slacking off and still besieging the two of them, Wang Hu lost his temper and said: "Concentrate, you are still fighting, what do you look like each one?" …”

Before he finished speaking, scalding drops of heat suddenly fell from the sky and landed on his body, making him tremble from the heat.

"That smell..."

Smelling the smell in the hot drops, Wang Hu was completely stunned.

As a hungry ghost, he is very sensitive to the smell of food. The taste of any food cannot escape his perception.

The hot oil dripping from the sky contained that wonderful smell. Even if he just smelled it a little, he couldn't help but swallow.

Suddenly, such a picture seemed to emerge in his mind. On the top of the sky, the immortals were holding a feast. They used a big pot to cook delicacies from the mountains and the sea, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and the taste was delicious. And now, the hot oil that fell from the sky was overflowing from that pot.

The hot oil dripped down, and the hungry ghosts raised their heads and opened their mouths wide, tasting the delicious food that amazed them. They had long forgotten to take Ye Jie and others down.

"Ouch..." Li Ba exclaimed when the hot oil was poured on him. He quickly ended his Dharma body and pulled Ye Jie to hide in the corner of the mountain wall, thus avoiding the harm of the hot oil.

Seeing the reactions of the hungry ghosts, Li Ba was shocked: "Ye Jie... did you see that? I have never seen those hungry ghosts look so satisfied."

Ye Jie nodded: "Their attention was attracted by the oil pan talisman. Let's take this opportunity to escape."

Listening to Ye Jie's proposal, Li Ba looked at the hot oil pouring down and scratched his head: "...That's what you said, but the talisman you took out is really powerful. The hot oil covers an area of ​​ten miles. I can't stand the torture of the hot oil. I'm afraid I can't run away at all, and I will faint from the pain. Let's wait for the hot oil to stop and try again."

Ye Jie was helpless. Seeing the hot air and mist outside, everyone seemed to be in a high-temperature volcano. He couldn't force it, so he had to watch carefully.

"Wait... look."

At this time, Li Ba seemed to have discovered something and reminded Ye Jie.

In the hot mist, black shadows suddenly appeared, and the black shadows gathered more and more, and then surrounded the two people hiding from the hot oil.

Looking closely, the people were surrounded by hungry ghosts.

As the hot oil fell, not only the hungry ghosts around the rift gathered, but also the hungry ghosts deeper in the Yaksha Plain were attracted here.

"This is bad... Just those hungry ghosts just now were difficult to deal with. Now more and more hungry ghosts are gathering. What should we do now?" Li Ba shouted that he was going to die, and he was so anxious that he turned around.

Ye Jie also took a deep breath. The hungry ghosts' tolerance to hot oil was beyond his expectations. The hot oil not only did not burn them, but made them extremely enjoyable. They wanted to drink all the hot oil into their stomachs.

"It seems that this time, I can't get away without handing over the forbidden ancient talisman..."

Just as Ye Jie was thinking, he saw the dark clouds gradually dissipated, the hot oil falling from the sky finally stopped, and Wang Hulu also rushed over.

Li Ba was shocked and was about to unfold her Dharma body to fight with Wang Hulu, but the words she heard were beyond her expectations.

"What...what is that? Why is there such delicious oil soup falling from the sky?" Wang Hulu was still immersed in the aftertaste of hot oil, unable to extricate himself for a long time, and his eyes looking at Ye Jie also showed a bit of indescribable complexity.

Ye Jie seemed to see something: "That is the oil pan talisman. I wanted to use it to help you escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Now I see that the power of the talisman is still not enough..."

"Enough! Enough!"

Wang Hulu's eyes widened, and he knelt on the ground without saying anything: "I have never tasted such wonderful oil and water...It is more delicious than any food I have eaten in my life. Even the bodies of monks do not have these delicious oil and water. Now, hunger has left me, and I am finally full!"

Ye Jie was slightly stunned, and looked around, but saw that the hungry ghosts all looked full and satisfied, and they were completely different from the previous hungry ones: "So, Do you mean that we don't need to be treated as food? "

Wang Hulu nodded vigorously: "You are the benefactors who helped the hungry ghosts. The hungry ghosts can't thank you enough. Unless we are too hungry, we will not eat our benefactors."

"What?"

Hearing what Wang Hulu said, Li Ba was completely stunned. She took a deep breath and had to look at Ye Jie: "You know everything, right?"

"What do I know?"

Ye Jie's eyes twitched. He didn't expect that the oil pan talisman drawn by Nan Linghe would be so powerful. Even the hungry ghosts who have been suffering from hunger all their lives got rid of the trouble of hunger after drinking the hot oil summoned by the talisman.

What made Ye Jie speechless was what was Nan Linghe thinking when he drew the oil pan talisman?

Unlike Ye Jie who denied it flatly, Li Ba looked at him with a bit of shock in his eyes: "You have already thought of a way to deal with hungry ghosts. You can use a magic talisman to take them for your own use... Ye Jie, you are too cunning!"

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Ye Jie was helpless. Who knew that the oil pan in the oil pan talisman was the oil pan for cooking food? But he didn't have time to explain to Li Ba, so he turned to Wang Hulu and said:

"Since you are no longer troubled by hunger, can you go and rescue the Hungry Ghost King?"

Wang Hulu scratched his head: "In the past, when the Hungry Ghost King was here, he could always help us get enough food... But now that we are full, there is no need to save the Hungry Ghost King, right?"

Ye Jie was helpless: "You are only full temporarily, there will always be a day when you will be hungry. What will you do then? Do you still have to risk falling into the Soul Devouring Abyss to pick those mushrooms?"

At Ye Jie's reminder, Wang Hulu seemed to have regained the fear of being dominated by hunger, so he had to say: "Otherwise... you should stay here and help us relieve our hunger when we are hungry?"

"Humph, didn't you just say that you don't want to eat your benefactor?" Li Ba folded his hands and snorted angrily.

"I'm too hungry, there's nothing I can do..." Wang Hu just replied.

Ye Jie looked around and spoke again: "Even if you eat us, you can only relieve your hunger temporarily. If you want to get rid of hunger, you must find a more efficient way once and for all. If you can rescue the Hungry Ghost King, there will be a source of food. Or, you can find a way to get rid of your identity as a hungry ghost and re-enter reincarnation."

Wang Hu sighed: "Re-entering reincarnation is a luxury wish for hungry ghosts. We have all committed sins to some extent during our lives. Once we enter the Palace of Yama, we will be captured by ghosts and escorted to the Soul-Eating Abyss. We will be tortured for eternity, unable to re-enter the reincarnation. In the end, we can only hide in the Yaksha Plain and be with hunger for the rest of our lives... Perhaps, in addition to our souls dying, the pain of hunger will be with us forever. "

Ye Jie nodded, understanding the situation, and said: "In this case, why don't you forcefully break through the Naihe Bridge?"

"If you want to re-enter reincarnation, you must carry the ghost order as a guide. Otherwise, you will be lost forever on the Naihe Bridge and will never reach the well of reincarnation... No ghost is willing to release ghosts to hungry ghosts. Order, doing so will only harm themselves," Wang Hu said in frustration.

Ye Jie smiled when he heard this: "That's not entirely true. If you want the Ghost Order, I can issue it to you. With my Ghost Order, you can re-enter the reincarnation."

"What?"

"What he said...is it true?"

Hearing this, the hungry ghosts started to commotion, but Wang Hu spoke up, which calmed down everyone's restlessness: "Even so, the act of forcing the Naihe Bridge will definitely attract the judge. We are not the judge's opponents, I'm afraid in the end There is no escape from death.”

Ye Jie looked at them: "So, would you rather endure the pain of hunger year after year, endure the torture of being born differently, and having your heart broken, than fight to the death and find a way to reincarnation?"

The ghosts were speechless, and Ye Jie continued: "On the Yaksha Plain, there are many evil ghosts who want to re-enter reincarnation, and there are not just hungry ghosts. But on weekdays, all the passages on the road to reincarnation are guarded by the Yama Hall. This made them stop thinking about reincarnation. If we can unite all the ghosts and unite as one, even the judge can't stop us from opening up the road to reincarnation!"

Under Ye Jie's persuasion, everyone looked shaken. Seeing this situation, Ye Jie reported another piece of news: "Now, the Lord of the Guangwang Palace is acting against the will. Everyone in the Tianxuan Palace does not want to see him rebelling against Yin and Yang, and is preparing to attack Guang." Even the palace master will take action. Their move is enough to attract the attention of all the judges. Taking advantage of this turmoil, you can break into the Naihe Bridge and end the suffering of hunger!"
