Hell Emperor

As the warrior fell, the onlookers fell silent. They could never have imagined that things would turn out like this.

It was thought that the warrior who was ready to die would inevitably have a world-shaking battle with the mysterious strong man, but the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The battle did start, but it came quickly and went even faster. In just a blink of an eye, the two were determined in one move. The mysterious strong man did not move at all, and the warrior got his wish and rested in peace.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Ye Jie with unusual eyes, and they talked about it for a while:

"Who is that strong man? When did such a person appear in Fei Niao City?"

"Is the one following him a snow girl monster? I heard that the snow girl only appears in a blizzard, and I have never seen it with my own eyes..."

"No matter who he is, he can die at the hands of such a strong man. I think the warrior can rest in peace as a ghost."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Ye Jie calmed down and slowly finished his work. This time the noise was indeed a bit louder.

However, being able to fulfill the warrior's last wish and let him die heroically in the duel is also a good deed.

The noise caused by the battle naturally could not be hidden from the witches who maintained the city's law and order. Soon, a team of witches in red and white clothes came over, and the onlookers consciously made way. Even the most noisy people became quiet at this moment and did not say a word.

Ye Jie glanced at the faces of the crowd. Their attitude towards the shrine maiden was more pious than reverent. They kept silent not because they were afraid of offending the shrine maiden and being killed, but because it was a choice from the bottom of their hearts, as if it was the only right thing to do.

Ye Jie wanted to find Bai Zaoyu, who had just gone to report, among the shrine maidens, but the result disappointed him. Bai Zaoyu was not among these shrine maidens. The leader was a woman with a solemn face and deep eyeliner. Even the other shrine maidens were extremely respectful to her.

"Inai, the samurai who disturbed the order has been killed by others. His soul is still in his body. The city has returned to peace."

A shrine maiden leaned over and checked the dead samurai. After the inspection, she reported to the leader respectfully.

"Another samurai seeking death? Since the death date was revealed, this kind of thing is not uncommon."

Inai stroked his forehead, and there was a bit of helplessness in his dark eyes: "I remember there is a rule in the city. If you want to die, go to the duel field in the city. How can you just find someone to challenge on the street? He actually found one... Really, even if your life is about to end, don't cause trouble to the witch."

As he said, Inai's dark eyes turned slightly, and finally landed on Ye Jie, and he couldn't help but be more curious: "Look at the family emblem on the samurai, he is clearly a samurai of the Soga family, with super strength. There are really few people in the city who can be his opponent. I wonder who you are? Why did you come to Asuka Castle?"

While Inai was looking at Ye Jie, Ye Jie was also looking at her. From the information collected before, Inai was the best ghost messenger of the Wushen Temple last year, so she was naturally strong.

Inai's identity as the best ghost messenger symbolizes the facade of the entire Wushen Temple, which is enough to represent the Wushen Temple and fight with the best ghost messengers of the other nine temples.

It was a coincidence that last year Ye Jie was the best ghost messenger of the same period as her, but Ye Jie represented Guangwang Temple at that time, while she represented Wushen Temple. Ye Jie also missed the ghost messenger event because of Xia Wei's matter and had never met her.

Only one year has passed, and Yinai is still the best ghost messenger, but Ye Jie has become the Yama of a temple, in charge of a part of the underworld. The gap in status between the two is no longer comparable.

Facing Yinai's question, Ye Jie also pulled the snow girl as a shield: "We came all the way from Baitou Mountain just to see the red veil of Wushen Temple."

"Baekdu Mountain... That is not an easy journey. You must have overcome many difficulties to get here."

Yinai was thoughtful, and his eyes looking at the two people also became different.

At this time, a shrine maiden in the team seemed to remember something and stepped forward to report quietly. After Inai understood the news, he said to the two:

"Not long ago, the soul of a shrine maiden sister came to the city and reported the attack on the shrine. She said that two kind-hearted people helped her complete revenge and worked together with her to solve the evil spirits that attacked the shrine. I think the kind-hearted people she mentioned are you."

Ye Jie nodded and admitted what he had done before.

With this relationship, plus the matter of helping the samurai rest in peace, the shrine maidens looked at Ye Jie with a little more recognition.

As if thinking of something, Inai's eyes turned cold and asked again: "I have some questions about Bai Zaoyu shrine maiden. How did she die? When she fought with you, was she as fearless and brave as she said?"

Ye Jie was silent for a while. He didn't know how Bai Zaoyu reported to the Witch God Temple, but he thought it was not reported truthfully.

Bai Zaoyu did not die heroically, but lost his fighting spirit first, committed suicide and hid in a deep well, which is how he escaped.

The Yama Palaces in various places have different punishment standards for those who covet heavenly merits and commit suicide. Generally speaking, they are punished as livestock for three lifetimes. Only those who have unlocked the administrative option of Tiangong Wogong like Ye Jie and taken the heavenly merits for themselves will not be punished for committing suicide.

From Ye Jie's observation of the Wushen Temple, committing suicide here is obviously not allowed. Even if you die, you must die heroically with glory. Those who commit suicide will inevitably suffer severe punishment after death.

Because of this, Bai Zaoyu chose to conceal the truth, and at the same time he did not forget to beautify himself when reporting. He had been hiding in the shrine and did not participate in the battle at all, but he still insisted that he fought bravely against the ghosts and was not afraid of sacrifice, hoping to use this to He managed to get through it and was even praised by the Witch Temple.

Ye Jie laughed dumbly, but he didn't like to do things that hurt others, especially when Bai Zaoyu punted the boat for the two of them and sent them here, so he said:

"She acted worthy of the name of a miko. It was just because of her strength that she was no match for those evil spirits. However, she still tried her best to help us and avenge those sisters who died tragically at the hands of evil spirits. Without her, we would not be able to compete with those evil spirits. There’s nothing we can do about those evil spirits.”

"Really? But..."

Inai frowned, with a look of disbelief. Ye Jie could kill powerful warriors in an instant. His strength was amazing. How could he need the help of Bai Zaoyu, who had just become a miko?

Recalling the inconsistency and loopholes in Mohayao's report, Ina didn't believe it at all, so she had no choice but to look at Yuki-onna aside and ask her again.

The answer given by the snow girl was completely different from Ye Jie: "She hid in a deep well after committing suicide and escaped the attack of the evil ghost. When we arrived, she pointed out the direction in which the evil ghost left for us, and she has been hiding in the shrine ever since. , until we return after killing all the ghosts."

Ye Jie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out, and his head was filled with black lines for a while.

Yuki-onna's answer can be regarded as selling Baihaoyu. Lying about the situation is a double crime. She will be punished more severely than committing suicide. Why did she do this?

As expected, after hearing Yuki-onna's answer, Ina's expression immediately changed: "That's unreasonable... So, not only did she choose to commit suicide and commit the taboo of coveting heavenly power, but now she even lied about the situation in an attempt to deceive the master! It seems that she needs to be treated more seriously. Just deal with it!”

Ina found the miko next to her and whispered a few words to them. Soon, the miko returned to the shrine in an aggressive manner. Judging from their appearance, she was afraid that Moyoyu would be in trouble this time.

After asking about Bai Zaoyu, Inai's eyes looked at Yuki Nu with a little more recognition. On the contrary, her eyes looking at Ye Jie showed a little more scrutiny and indifference.

"Thank you for providing the information. You have done so much for the Witch Temple, and you are qualified to see the red hijab... But before that, there is another matter to deal with."

Inai glanced at the dead warrior and whispered: "The soul has returned."

The next moment, the warrior's soul escaped from the body and climbed up from the ground, looking no different from when he was alive.

Inai asked him: "Now that you have become a ghost, do you want to be reincarnated, or do you want to stay and do your part with your soul?"

The samurai said without hesitation: "Of course, stay and let me become the Heart-Eating Soul. I only hope that there will be a miko who can inherit what I have learned throughout my life."

Inai smiled and nodded: "You have committed a lot of murders in your life, and you don't have many evil virtues. Being a soul-corrupting soul can also help you gain more evil virtues and allow you to be reincarnated into a better family in the next life."

The warrior shook his head: "I don't want to go to a better family. I just hope that I can be used by the family master in the next life."

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

Instructing the witch to take away the soul of the warrior, Inai said to Ye Jie: "Come with me. Go to the shrine first and wait. You will see the red hijab soon."

After saying that, her cold gaze stayed on Ye Jie for a moment, and then left without looking back. Ye Jie stayed in the same place and didn't know what to say. As Bai Zaoyu's lie was exposed, he Also despised by Inai.

After Inai walked away, Ye Jie found an opportunity and asked the snow girl next to him: "Why did you do this?"

"What to do?" Xue Nu was a little confused and didn't understand what Ye Jie meant at all.

"Of course you told Wu Shen Shen about Bai Zaoyu. Didn't you harm her by doing this? Have you been dissatisfied with her all this time?" Ye Jie was confused.

The snow girl shook her head: "She helped me, not only showed me the direction, but also punted the boat all the way to get me here. Of course I will not be dissatisfied with her."

Now even Ye Jie was confused by her: "Then why do you answer like this? Why don't you just follow my words?"

The snow girl is still puzzled: "But isn't the actual situation what I said? Or am I remembering it wrong? The actual situation is not like this?"

Ye Jie was speechless for a moment and frowned: "The actual situation is one thing, but you don't have to tell the truth truthfully, right? She has no grievances against you, so why don't you just take advantage of someone else?"

At this time, Xue Nu finally understood what Ye Jie meant: "You mean... you want me to lie?"

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "It's not a lie. I just told part of it and left out the other part. Let the witches understand it on their own. Anyway, it makes sense no matter what you say."

The snow girl looked at him, with a bit of clarity in her cold eyes: "Isn't that still a lie?"

Ye Jie had no choice but to say: "Let's call it a lie, but it is a white lie. If you tell a lie, you can help her avoid punishment and make her life much easier in the future. If her heart is not full of complaints, I really can't think of any reason for you to tear her down."

The snow girl shook her head: "I don't lie, only the human heart can lie."

Ye Jie stopped talking and was stuck there for a moment.

Indeed, no matter what reason he finds, in the case of Morayu, even if it is for her own good, even if it is just because of the kindness in his heart, lying is lying, and this cannot be changed. As a monster, Yuki Onna, She doesn't understand the complexity of people's hearts, nor the purpose of lies, she only tells the truth.

After thinking about all this, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh: "Can you understand human emotions and what it feels like to fall in love with someone, but you don't understand the lies people tell? I thought..."

After a pause, Ye Jie did not continue. No matter what, the snow girl is a monster. It is indeed too difficult for monsters to understand the complex human heart except love.

On the other hand, it was Xue Nu who looked at Ye Jie with a bit of confusion: "Why are things so complicated? Am I wrong? But those things clearly didn't happen, so how did you say it?"

Ye Jie waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it... let's not talk about this. Speaking of which, if Bai Zaoyu hides in the wilderness and becomes a lonely ghost, he might still be able to escape, and he does not have to accept the consequences of those who are greedy for heaven's merit. Punishment, but now that she has returned to the Witch Temple to send us here, Punishment cannot escape. If there is a chance, let’s see if we can help her.”

Xue Nu glanced at him, thought carefully about Ye Jie's words, and suddenly said:

"We avenged her fellow miko, and she sent us here. Logically speaking, the fate has been ended. If she reported the truth, even if she was punished, it wouldn't be so serious. It was her choice to lie. , which led to a more severe punishment. This was her own choice, why do you care so much? "

Ye Jie sighed and did not answer. The evil spirit that destroyed the shrine was released by Ye Jie in order to weaken the power of the Witch Shrine.

Although he had known for a long time that releasing the evil ghost would cause many innocent people to suffer, Ye Jie still did it. Who knew that now that he was here and witnessed such a tragedy, he still couldn't bear it.

The reason why Bai Zaoyu chose to commit suicide had something to do with him. For this reason, Ye Jie could not watch Bai Zaoyu being punished, but he was indifferent. If there was a chance, he would still help her.

"The witch has gone far away, let's follow her quickly."

Seeing that Inai's back disappeared completely, Xue Nu quickly called Ye Jie and followed quickly.
