Hell Emperor

Chapter 294 Shura Jie-Timing

"Wait...you said she is your apprentice?"

Lin Hanyan opened her eyes wide when she learned that the domineering and immortal girl in the picture projected by the master of Jinlun Palace was actually Ye Jie's disciple.

She never imagined that Ye Jie could have such a disciple. Judging from her understanding of Ye Jie, Ye Jie in the past was just a second-level ghost with low strength. How could he have anything to do with such a proud man? On the relationship?

However, Ye Jie's tone was a little heavy, not joking at all, and his serious tone also made her understand that it was definitely not a lie, he really had such a disciple.

"How could..."

Thinking of this, Lin Hanyan became even more puzzled, and his eyes showed a bit of curiosity, as if he wanted to ask Ye Jie for clarification.

In this regard, Ye Jie just waved his hand: "This matter is a long story. It cannot be explained clearly in a short time. I will tell you again when I have the opportunity."

Seeing that Ye Jie was trying to evade and was unwilling to tell her the situation, Lin Hanyan puffed up his lips and pulled Ye Jie reluctantly. Ye Jie had no choice but to change the subject and said: "Speaking of which...whether it's the Lord of the Demon Luo Palace or Jin Master Lun, when he mentioned the assassination mission, he mentioned the so-called Return of the Yang Festival. What happened to the Return of the Yang Festival? "

Ye Jie frowned. There was no so-called Huanyang Festival in Nanzhan Buzhou, where he was originally.

Different regions will also form completely different festival celebrations based on their inherited customs and habits. This Huanyang Festival seems to be unique to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Lin Hanyan snorted softly and came to the Golden Wheel Palace. She had already collected detailed information and knew a lot about the Huanyang Festival.

However, when she thought of Ye Jie's unwillingness to tell him the news about the girl, Lin Hanyan also acted mischievously and turned away, pretending not to hear Ye Jie's question.

Ye Jie helplessly raised his forehead and said, "What do you want to know?"

Lin Hanyan thought for a while, then she raised a finger, tapped her mouth, as if thinking, and then asked: "How did you know her based on your level at that time?"

Ye Jie did not hide anything, he spread his spiritual power, and after confirming that no one around him could hear him, he answered truthfully: "I once brought a mortal deceased back to the sun to see his relatives on earth for the last time. I never thought that the deceased's daughter would actually be there." I am gifted with nine magical powers. I know that I am not very talented, so I wanted to teach her a few tricks to create a good relationship, but she suddenly recognized her as my master."

"Nine talents? How is it possible...then isn't she a first-level reincarnation?"

Shocked to hear that the girl actually had nine talents, Lin Hanyan reached out to cover her mouth with a look of disbelief. As a Shura, of course she understood what the nine talents meant. Only the reincarnation of the top immortals can possess the nine talents.

Speaking of the past, Ye Jie also showed a bit of nostalgia. He and Xia Wei fought side by side and defeated the ambitious Lord Guang Wang, but they also ended up parted.

If it weren't for the master of the Mo Luo Palace to reawaken him with his great magical power, I'm afraid he would never see his disciple again.

Recalling the past events, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a little relieved every time he thought of Xia Wei in his memory.

Today, Xia Wei's strength is unparalleled in the world, her natural talents have been fully realized, and her potential has been stimulated to the extreme. Even ordinary immortals are no match for her. Seeing his disciple making such progress, Ye Jie was also happy for her.

Lin Hanyan saw Ye Jie's expression in her eyes and saw that he was somewhat relieved when he recalled it, with a heartfelt smile on his face. For a moment, he was infected by his expression and couldn't help but ask: "Then What happened next? "

Ye Jie waved his hand: "I have answered your question, now it's your turn to answer mine. What's going on with the Yang Festival?"

When Ye Jie mentioned the Huanyang Festival, his expression tightened. The original relaxation and peace no longer existed, replaced by only deep solemnity.

Before carrying out the assassination mission, Ye Jie must investigate the background of the mission in detail, especially the time selected for the assassination, which often contains a lot of information.

Ye Jie was not prepared to risk his life on this assassination like the master of Jinlun Hall. He still wanted to survive and return to his family.

"I need to know detailed information about the Return of the Sun Festival in order to formulate a plan. The concentration of ghosts on that day and the action route of the Master of the Witch Temple are all closely related to this. A reckless move like that of the Master of the Golden Wheel Temple may not be possible at all. He couldn't run far before he was captured by other ghosts and immortals."

Ye Jie spoke slowly, it was a matter of life and death, and there was no joke in his words.

Lin Hanyan also noticed Ye Jie's seriousness at this moment, suppressed all the joking in his heart, and answered truthfully: "Brother Jie, you just said that you got to know Xia Wei because you brought a dead person back to the sun. is that so?"

Ye Jie was stunned and didn't understand why Lin Hanyan mentioned this again, but he still nodded: "That's right."

Lin Hanyan thought: "Thanks to Brother Jie, he was in Nanzhan Buzhou before. If he came to Dongsheng Shenzhou, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the chance to bring the dead back to the sun, let alone meet him by such a chance. The immortal has been reincarnated."

Ye Jie keenly captured the key information: "There will not be a chance to return to the Yang? Is this related to the so-called Return to the Yang Festival?"

Seeing that Ye Jie was able to figure it out with just a few clicks, Lin Hanyan smiled with satisfaction: "That's right. The ghosts in the witch temple don't need ghost messengers to take them back to the sun at all. They can return the sun themselves, but only within the middle of each year. On a certain day, which is the so-called Huan Yang Festival, as for the rest of the time, you must stay in the underworld and are strictly prohibited from going to the human world privately."

Ye Jie understood in his heart and raised his eyebrows slightly: "In other words, the souls of the deceased here can reunite with their family members in the world every year during the Return of the Sun Festival? This is a good festival."

In Ye Jie's memory, what many deceased people worry about most is their family members in the world. They are eager to know how their family members are doing after their death. The longer they die, the more they miss them. With this Huanyang Festival, The connection between Hades and the human world is also closer, and they can let go of their obsessions.

"Family? You may have made a mistake."

However, Lin Hanyan chuckled, and there was some uncertainty flashing deep in his eyes.

Seeing Lin Hanyan's expression, Ye Jie was slightly startled. His intuition told him that things were not as he imagined: "Am I wrong? Or is there something hidden in this?"

Lin Hanyan deliberately didn't answer. He gave it up and returned to the previous topic: "Let's talk about Brother Jie's apprentices. I want to know more about you."

Ye Jie was helpless, who allowed him to ask for help from her? I had to tell the past events one by one, from the confrontation with the Hengshan bandit to the protection of Aunt Meng's reincarnation, then to breaking the prophecy and releasing the King of Demons, to the final decisive battle with the Lord of Guangwang Palace. He was shattered and reborn in the Demon Palace, all facing Lin Han. Smoke came out one after another.

After listening to Ye Jie's previous experiences, Lin Hanyan's eyes also showed a look of disbelief. She could never have imagined that Ye Jie's past experiences were so twists and turns, even he himself, He also lost his soul in order to complete the Nether Spirit Art.

"How? Now can you tell me the information about the Return of the Yang Festival?" Ye Jie asked.

Lin Hanyan didn't answer for a long time. She looked at Ye Jie with a hint of emotion in her eyes. After a long time, she sighed deeply: "Now I finally understand what Brother Jie meant when he told me about family before." Well... only after experiencing such an adventure and sharing life and death together can we be considered a family. Before my fault, I always wanted to be Brother Jie’s family. Compared with her, I’m afraid everything I do will be useless. It’s not worthy of being called a family member at all…”

Seeing the loss of expression on Lin Hanyan's face, Ye Jie smiled: "Who said that? There is no distinction between high and low in the family, have you forgotten? You stood up in the competition in the Underworld Hall. At that moment, you gained my recognition and are now a member of the family. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will introduce you to Xiaowei."

After receiving Ye Jie's affirmative reply, Lin Hanyan smiled calmly and looked at him with a somewhat unclear look in her eyes.

She knew that the bond between herself and Ye Jie could not exceed the bond between him and Xia Wei no matter what. Based on the life and death experiences of Ye Jie and Xia Wei, no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to replicate them.

However, Ye Jie did not neglect her in the slightest because of this. In Ye Jie's eyes, all family members are treated equally, and no matter who is in trouble, he will not sit idly by.

Ye Jie's words were enough for Lin Hanyan. Now she finally lost her worries and told everything she knew:

"The Return of the Yang Festival is not prepared for ordinary ghosts at all, but for the ghost kings who are suppressed by the Shaman Temple."

Ye Jie was slightly stunned, always feeling that things were a little different from what he imagined: "You said it was prepared for the Ghost King? What does that mean?"

Lin Hanyan took a deep breath: "Every year's Huanyang Festival is the most chaotic day in Dongsheng Divine Continent. On that day, the passage between the underworld and the human world will be opened, and many demons and ghosts suppressed by the Witch Temple can return to the human world. Killing willfully to satisfy the endless desire for destruction in their hearts, without any restraint. In exchange, the ghost kings will stay on their own terms for the rest of the year, keeping order in the underworld and not causing chaos to the Lord of the Witch God."

"What?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie was completely stunned and did not react for a long time.

He never imagined that the so-called Return of the Yang Festival was not a festive festival at all, but more like a disaster. When many ghost kings returned to the world together, it would surely lead to the destruction of all living beings. Just thinking about such a situation made him feel terrible. Incessantly.

Lin Hanyan saw Ye Jie's astonishment and added: "Perhaps initially, the purpose of the Huanyang Festival was to help the deceased return to the world and reunite with their family members they had not seen for a long time, as Brother Jie imagined. But later, The nature of this festival has gradually changed, and it has become the best opportunity for ghost kings to unleash their murderous desires. The scope of activities of ghost kings released from the Witch Temple is not only limited to the East China Sea, but also to areas under the jurisdiction of the Golden Wheel Temple on land. The range will also be attacked by the Ghost King..."

After a pause, Lin Hanyan joked: "It seems that His Highness Moro chose the day of the assassination on the Return of the Yang Festival, and he made the right choice. When the Return of the Yang Festival comes, the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent will fall into chaos. When order collapses, the ghosts of the Witch Temple will have nothing to do but look out for themselves. There is no better time than this!"

Ye Jie was silent, just as Lin Hanyan said, this Huanyang Festival is really extremely evil. The evil ghosts came to the human world to kill wantonly, which was actually allowed by the Lord of Yama Hall, and even formed a specific festival. This kind of This was something he had never heard of before.

If all this is true, then everything in the Witch Temple is even more unbearable than Ye Jie imagined. He couldn't help but said: "Why does the Lord of the Witch Temple condone the evil spirits to this extent? When will the Lord of the Yama Temple , Are you going to compromise with Li Gui? Even the Master of Prince Guang will not tolerate Li Gui climbing on his head."

Lin Hanyan thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "I think this may be related to the ghost structure of the Witch Temple."

Ye Jie asked: "How is it related specifically?"

Lin Hanyan replied: "The ghost servants who serve in the witch temple are called witches. The most special thing about the witches is that they are still alive and exercising the power of ghost servants in the world."

After a pause, Lin Hanyan continued: "However, because of this, it is undoubtedly very difficult for a witch to go to the underworld. There are many restrictions. She absolutely cannot control the affairs in the underworld like ordinary ghosts. With complete control, most of the time, witches can only stay in the human world. This is the so-called beyond reach. This is why they cannot compromise with the ghost king and use one day of the Return of the Yang Festival to make them stay peacefully for a year. ”

Ye Jie was silent. This was a possibility, and the possibility was not low.

Ye Jie had heard about the peculiarities of the ghosts in the Witch Temple before. When the ghosts' control over the underworld declined, they had to adopt a compromise method. This is also the Yang Festival, which is what the master of the Witch Temple did in order to make the ghost king obey. Preparing for the holiday.

After learning all the information about the Huanyang Festival, Ye Jie became a little more conflicted and hostile towards the master of the Witch Temple, whom he had never met before.

Originally, Ye Jie felt a little sorry for the Master of the Witch Temple who was the target of the assassination but had no idea about it.

In order to complete the mission of the Lord of the Demon Temple, Ye Jie had to make an enemy of the Lord of the Witch Temple, and even launched an assassination attempt on him, taking away the life of the first Yama. Every time he thought about this, Ye Jie felt uncomfortable in his heart, and even had the idea of The idea of ​​only robbing the main tent and letting the master of the Witch Temple go.

Now, after learning all the secrets about the Huanyang Festival from Lin Hanyan, Ye Jie felt a little more indignation for no reason in his heart.

In order to maintain his rule, the leader of the Witch Temple did not hesitate to reach an agreement with the Ghost King and used the Huanyang Festival to poison the lives of other living beings. This situation also made Ye Jie extremely angry.

Now it seems that the master of the Witch Temple is no different from the former master of King Guang. Thinking of this, Ye Jie no longer had any worries in his heart and concentrated on preparing for the assassination mission.
