Hell Emperor

Chapter 190 Qu Wan-Persuasion

"You said His Majesty is missing. What do you mean? Are you serious?"

After hearing this shocking news from the captain of the Royal Forest Army, Wei Zheng's heart beat wildly, with a look of disbelief on his face, and he confirmed the news again and again.

"It's absolutely true... I don't know what magic the evil dragon used. We only saw a black light falling from the sky. When the black light dissipated, His Majesty disappeared. We failed to protect His Majesty, and we deserve death..."

The captain of the royal forest, who was wearing bright armor, stumbled to his knees, his arms hanging limply by his side. When he said these words, his whole body was trembling in pain and self-blame.

"How could this happen..." Wei Zheng took several steps back, his eyes blank, unable to accept this result at all.

The silent depression and heaviness spread, and there was silence all around. Only the occasional cry from the Royal Guards brought everyone back to the painful reality.

After a brief moment of shock, Ye Jie quickly regained his composure and said, "That black light came from the Ghost Gate. It must be Guangwang Palace who took the initiative to use the power of the Ghost Gate to take away Prince Tang."

Li Feimo said with emotion: "I didn't expect that even the King of Tang could not resist the power of the Ghost Sect. It is indeed a third-grade artifact."

Xia Wei clenched her fists and said hurriedly: "Without King Tang, who else can be the opponent of Lord Guang Wang? Could it be that this battle is lost like this?"

Ye Jie thought for a while and analyzed: "No... I saw that the master of the Guangwang Palace left in a hurry instead of taking advantage of the absence of the Tang Dynasty King to completely capture Chang'an City. This shows that things can still turn around."

Wei Zheng nodded, convinced of Ye Jie's words, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what Brother Ye has to say about the current predicament?"

Ye Jie said: "The Ghost Gate is the door between the two worlds. The person who controls the Ghost Gate can freely open the passage between the human world and the underworld. The master of the Guangwang Palace took away the Tang King, and his intention was obvious. He dragged the Tang King into the isolated and helpless Hades. Without the interference of thousands of troops, as long as he can gather the power of the ghosts in the underworld to end the life of the Tang Dynasty, no one in the world can stop him, and the world will change its hands immediately. "

Wei Zheng was shocked. It would be terrible if King Tang made any mistake, but he saw Ye Jie coming up with another surprise.

What Ye Jie took out was a pure white broken page of the Book of Life and Death. The ink moved on the broken page, and soon a series of words as scarlet as blood appeared.

[Announcement from the Palace Master: All the ghosts in Guangwang Palace should immediately put down all tasks in their hands and return to the palace as quickly as possible! 】

"That's..." Looking at the handwriting on the broken page, Wei Zheng felt a twinge of pain in his heart, "This is terrible. Your Majesty is alone under the underworld, facing the siege of countless ghosts, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in the world. , I’m afraid it won’t help…”

Ye Jie suddenly remembered something: "General Li Jing, didn't he go to heaven to ask for reinforcements? Is he back now?"

Wei Zheng showed bitterness on his face: "A day in heaven is a year on earth. This journey is far away. I'm afraid that by the time he gets back, it will be of no use..."

Ye Jie took a deep breath: "It seems that there is only one way left. People cannot go to the underworld, but ghosts can."

Xia Wei heard what Ye Jie meant and opened her mouth slightly: "Master, could it be that you are planning to..."

Ye Jie nodded: "The matter has come to this. Only I and my other companions who have become ghosts can go to the underworld, so let us go and find out."

Xia Wei frowned slightly, her face full of concern, and she didn't agree with Ye Jie's proposal at all. She grabbed Ye Jie's robe tightly and begged:

"The master of Guangwang Palace, Long Mighty, is unparalleled. Even I am no match for him, and Master is certainly no match for him! As the saying goes, the smaller the ability, the smaller the responsibility. Master should stay in a safe place in the world. Don't take advantage of him. Risking your life..."

Ye Jie smiled helplessly: "That's not what they said. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. You can rest assured that there are other companions to help in this trip, and the ghosts of Tianxuan Palace will not just sit idly by and ignore this. What happened?"

After hearing Ye Jie's answer, Xia Wei pursed her lips slightly. Seeing that the master had already made a decision, she could only nod her head: "Okay... Master must pay attention to safety."

"I will." Ye Jie promised.

On the side, knowing that King Tang was in danger, Xie Xinyu clicked his tongue: "I didn't expect that the opening of the wine country would encounter such an accident. Fortunately for me, today is an auspicious day, so the opening will definitely not be possible."

Ye Jie's mouth twitched: "What time has it been? Prince Tang has disappeared, why are you still thinking about opening the business?"

Xie Xinyu snorted softly: "The maids asked me to choose the opening date for the wine country. Now that such a big accident has happened, doesn't it mean that my calculation of the auspicious date is inaccurate? Where does this make this lady face?"

Ye Jie touched his chin and looked strange: "There was such a big accident today, and you actually calculated it to be a lucky day?"

As if aware of the slightest doubt, Xie Xinyu stopped and said with his hands on his hips: "The hexagram shows that today is a good day to open a business, get married, and raise an army. It is forbidden to bury, worship ancestors, and shave your hair. Of course it is an auspicious day!"

"Is it time to start an army? What you calculated may not be an auspicious day for Lord Guangwang..." Ye Jie couldn't help but complain. His words, as expected, were met with repeated complaints from Xie Xinyu.

After finally calming down the angry Xie Xinyu, Shen Qingge sighed softly:

"The King of Tang fell into the enemy's base camp alone. He was worried that he would be more evil than others and the world would be in danger. I would like to lend you the ghost shield, but it's a pity that the ghost shield can't protect against ghosts, so you can't take it. useless."

Ye Jie cupped his fists and thanked: "Qing Ge is very thoughtful. Speaking of which, I originally planned to ask you to help deliver food to isolated cities besieged by ghosts, but unexpected changes like this happened..."

Shen Qingge turned his head and bit his thin lips lightly: "Maybe it's because I haven't mastered the Xuannv Sutra. As Mo'er's master, I should have set an example, detached myself from others, watched the changes in the world with a cold eye, and should not interfere too much in the human world. As a result, I have broken the rules of training many times along the way. As a master, I am quite unqualified."

Seeing Shen Qingge's shoulders drooped, her slender body looking thin, and her heart bearing a silent burden, Ye Jie stared at her and comforted:

"Who said you are not qualified? Along the way, Li Feimo has seen everything you have done. You have taught her what kind of person she should be through words and deeds. Maybe practicing the Xuannv Sutra will make her You have cut off worldly thoughts, but I can feel that under the cover of the Xuannv Sutra, your heart is still burning. How could that integrity and enthusiasm to stand up for the weak change because of the Xuannv Sutra? "

After listening to what Ye Jie said, the corners of Shen Qingge's mouth trembled slightly, and his expression moved. The originally inhuman facial lines gradually softened, and there was an indescribable warmth in his cold eyes. Thousands of words, but in the end, all they said was... Turned into an instruction:

"Ajie, you should be more careful when you go to the underworld. If something happens to you...Xia Wei will be sad."

Ye Jie nodded: "I will."

While several people were talking, they saw Guazi's figure flickering and moving over.

Ye Jie was slightly stunned. How could the melon seeds waiting for him in the wine country come here? Just as he was about to speak, Guazi said first, "Ye Jie, someone is looking for you."

Ye Jie nodded and Guazi took out the Qionglou scroll. The golden light shone brightly on the scroll. Stepping out of the golden light was a mermaid woman. She was Meng Junyao's biological mother Qu Wan.

After walking out of the scroll, Qu Wan frowned and her eyes flickered. She looked around, and her eyes finally fell on Ye Jie. She said urgently: "The wind blew strong just now, and a black light pillar fell from the ceiling. Following the light pillar, I saw my Husband...how did he look like that? He looked in great pain, as if he was worse off than dead..."

Seeing Qu Wan's urgent tone and her eyes red, Ye Jie sighed: "He became a pillar of the ghost sect and was used by the master of the Guangwang Palace. Although I don't know what happened to him, the pain he felt was definitely not what ordinary people can imagine." Can bear it.”

Qu Wan's body was trembling. She looked past Ye Jie and fell on Wei Zheng aside. She scolded: "This is all your fault! It was you who killed my husband! If it weren't for you, we would still be staying in Jing." How could we encounter such a calamity in the river?"

Her accusations came to his ears, and Wei Zheng closed his eyes and sighed: "This move is to break the prophecy of the demon king's reincarnation. Who would have thought that in the end, he discovered that the so-called prophecy was just a setup by the master of the Guangwang Palace from the beginning. It’s a conspiracy. I did make a mistake in this matter, and I want to apologize to you.”

Qu Wan glared at him and refused to accept his apology.

At this time, Ye Jie's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait a minute, since the Dragon King of Jinghe has become the pillar of the ghost gate, he can take the King of Tang away, and maybe there is a way to send the King of Tang back!"

Xia Wei was stunned: "The Dragon King is full of resentment towards Li Tang, so how can he give up so easily?"

Ye Jie slowly turned sideways and looked at Qu Wan: "With our persuasion alone, there is no hope at all in getting him to stop. But if we let his wife come, things may turn around."

Realizing the meaning of Ye Jie's words, Qu Wan sneered: "You plan to ask me to help you? Are you kidding me? It's too late for me to be happy when the King of Tang is killed, so why should I help you?"

Ye Jie advised: "You are not only helping us, but you are also helping your husband. His death was also shared by the Lord Guang Wang. All of this is the conspiracy of the Lord Guang. We discovered the truth of the conspiracy, but you My husband didn’t, and he was still used by Lord Guang Wang after his death. He is still in hell, suffering inhuman pain. Only you can help him get relief!”

After listening to Ye Jie's words, Qu Wan's eyes were sometimes bright and sometimes dim. They were full of contradictions and entanglements. She was suffering and hesitant inside.

Wei Zheng also bowed and begged: "As long as he lets His Majesty return, even if you ask me to pay with my life, I won't shirk even half a cent!"

His words had the opposite effect. Qu Wan glared at him: "Why do I want your life? Can I exchange his life with your life?"

Seeing that the atmosphere became tense and solemn again, Ye Jie quickly said: "Once the King of Tang is in danger, the whole world will not be peaceful. I don't know how many innocent people will be killed, and you can save everything."

Qu Wan was not interested in this: "That is a matter for you humans. Those who were killed were all humans. What does it have to do with us monsters?"

Ye Jie just said: "Think about Meng Junyao. Now she is following us and living in the human world. Once the master of the Guangwang Palace succeeds, the whole world will be filthy, and there will be no pure land in the world. Do you have the heart to leave her in this world full of people?" In this filthy world, do you feel frightened and frightened all day long?”

Hearing Ye Jie mention Meng Junyao's name, Qu Wan's expression finally softened. She could let the hatred in her heart spread and ignore the peace of all living beings, but she could not ignore her own flesh and blood. She finally sighed: "That's it, just let me Go see him."

Ye Jie nodded and took the soul-calling banner from Xie Xinyu: "Now the underworld is full of dangers. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. You should hide in the soul-calling banner for a while. When the time comes, I will let you out."

Qu Wan nodded, her figure turned into a stream of light, and she entered the soul-calling banner and waited.

After making preparations, Ye Jie looked at Xuan Cheng again: "King Tang is in danger, can Tianxuan Palace send troops to help?"

Xuan Cheng shook his head: "The ghosts in the palace were exhausted from the previous attack on the Ghost Prison, and the talismans were almost all used up. Even the Palace Master has fallen in realm and his injuries have not healed. I am afraid he is unable to come to reinforce."

Ye Jie understood, and looked at Xie Xinyu and Li Ba who were going to the underworld with him: "This trip is full of dangers, and it is more likely that you will never come back. If you are worried, you can stay in the human world, and no one will blame you."

Xie Xinyu snorted: "Brother Jie, what are you talking about? If you are not afraid, can we still stay?"

Li Ba also nodded vigorously: "That's what I mean, I We are partners, how can I let you take risks alone at this time? Besides, the revenge of the people in Lijia Village is waiting for me to avenge! "

The two had made up their minds, and Ye Jie did not persuade them any more. Instead, he took out the shrinking stone from his arms and was about to leave when he heard Xia Wei say, "Wait! I remember that the Enshenyi Heavy Sword can give the two people the power of telepathy, so that my master and I can communicate with each other and know what happened in the underworld at the first time!"

Wei Zheng thought about it for a while and agreed to Xia Wei's proposal: "That's right. With the telepathy of the Enshenyi Heavy Sword, we can also know the information in the underworld at the first time."

Under his guidance, Ye Jie came to Xia Wei and stood side by side.

"Enshenyi Heavy Sword!"

Accompanied by Wei Zheng's loud shouting, a sword energy burst out, circling around Xia Wei and Ye Jie, wrapping their bodies in it.

Surrounded by the sword energy, Xia Wei held Ye Jie's hand tightly, and felt that the connection between the two hearts was closer.

The two of them looked at each other, and through their eyes, they felt the deep concern in each other's hearts. Although they were silent, they only needed a thought to know what was in each other's heart.

"Master, can you hear me..." Xia Wei called softly in her heart.

"I can hear you." Ye Jie also sent a voice message, "Under the underworld, voice transmission will be blocked. Fortunately, I have the Divine Mind Stone with me. No matter how many obstacles there are between us, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and the Yin and Yang worlds, you can hear my voice transmission."

Xia Wei felt warm in her heart. She didn't want to let go of her master's hand, and didn't want her master to take risks, but she had to face separation.

After making all preparations, Ye Jie took out the Earth-Shrinking Stone, and finally disappeared under Xia Wei's reluctant gaze.
