Chapter 1289: Betrayal

Just as he was thinking.

The stage once again flickered with light.

Still short and long!

"This…"

The King of Hell was a little confused. Niu Tou and Ma Mian were his most trusted assistants. If the first hesitation was a misstep, then the second hesitation must mean something serious.

And they knew that being here was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Nevertheless, the Great Emperor of Fengdu and the Five Ghost Emperors dared not act rashly here.

Chu Jiang Wang, standing nearby, couldn't help but remind him, "Right now we are discussing important matters, why don't you quickly hide the jade talisman We can talk about everything else when we leave."

Qin Guang Wang coldly said, "Useless trash, when things happen you only know how to call out. Don't they know you are here"

The Five-Direction Ghost Emperor still said nothing, though he could see it was an urgent matter. It was nothing more than unrest and disruption within the city, and what caused this had to be the two anomalies, which were currently being addressed at their root. Thus, there was no need for a hasty summons.

"Well, I'm foolish. I'm foolish."

King Yama readily agreed and prepared to shroud the jade talisman, preventing further disturbance. Normally, he would immediately investigate, but in front of the Five Ghost Emperors and the Emperor of Mount Fudu, what Niu Tou Ma Mian considered an urgent or important matter was trivial.

"Hold on!"

The Emperor of Fengdu suddenly spoke.

Rustling.

Everyone looked over instantly.

The Emperor of Fengdu restored his composure, but his heart was even more entangled. He truly didn't want to see the scene of the Three Realms War unfold again. If he wanted to stop it, the best way was to take advantage of the current situation where Ye Fusheng had not yet become the Human Emperor and immediately eliminate him.

But, after all, Zhao Wuji is a close friend of many years, and there is affection between them.

Moreover, when the jade talisman was originally bestowed upon Ye Fusheng, the promise made was to help him once, meaning to allow him to return to the mortal realm. However, now he is left in Fengdu. To speak plainly, it amounts to a betrayal of trust. If one were to take further action and kill him, it would be equivalent to betraying him twice.

"Since there's an emergency, you should go back and handle it."

The Great Emperor Fengdu said, "A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant's hole. There is no trivial matter in the city, let alone that the matter has been discussed almost completely, and everything else needs to be decided after I communicate with the upper realm. You just go and solve it."

The King of Hell saw the Emperor speak and did not refuse. It was a good opportunity to "ask" them why they were so hasty, to see if they knew that they were embarrassing him!

Respectfully bowing: "Yes!"

Turning to leave.

"Wait."

The Great Emperor Fengdu suddenly called out, hesitated for a moment, then turned and said: "Southern Ghost Emperor, why don't you go and have a look Two strange occurrences have caused unrest among the people. Your appearance can prevent small problems from becoming big ones and let the millions in the city feel at ease."

This statement is so well-crafted that no one can find fault with it.

But only he knew, that it was to betray Ye Fusheng once again. The reason was simple, he couldn't bear to see the Three Realms War erupt!

The Jade Emperor alone is no match for Ye Fusheng, so the Ghost Emperor must make a move.

The Southern Ghost Emperor slowly rose: "Alright, for now, I don't know when the upper realm will make a move, nor do I know if the mundane intentions will still clash. It is indeed necessary to ensure peace in the city. I shall accompany you."

After finishing his words, he walked slowly out.

The King of Hell followed behind.

The Emperor of Fengdu watched the two figures leave, his heart a whirlwind of emotions. He couldn't blame himself for how things had turned out; he had warned him to practice in the cave and not wander off. It was all his fault that they were discovered by the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

If he can still remain unharmed this time, then I'll never interfere again!

Everything is his creation.

He then continued, “The matter of the King of Hell was not a coincidence. Recently, all of you must strictly control your assigned areas and prevent any incidents from arising. Furthermore…”

The meeting continued.

The back courtyard of the judgment hall.

A wind arose on the plain, bringing with it a gust of black mist. As the mist dissipated, two figures emerged.

It was Yama, the King of Hell, and the Southern Ghost Emperor.

Because the jade talisman not only transmits sound but also determines the opponent's location.

King Yama just stood steady, and shouted in a stern voice: “Where are Niu Tou and Ma Mian Come here quickly… Ga”

Before he could finish his words, the sight before him made him speechless. His mind buzzed with confusion.

Nearly a hundred people were tied on the ground.

Not only are there guards and specters, but also squad leaders

And there are judges, black and white impermanence, ox-head horse-face

How is this possible

"Um"

The Southern Ghost Emperor was also taken aback, what kind of style is this

At first, everyone saw the King of Hell and wanted to complain about their grievances. But when they saw the Ghost Emperor behind him, they were all pale with fright and instinctively knelt down to pay their respects.

"I've seen Southern Ghosts... Ouch!"

"Long live the Southern Ghost Emperor, long live, long live...ah!"

“……”

They were too eager, forgetting their bodies were bound, and for a moment they tumbled to the ground.

The King of Hell's face turned green with rage. To think, these people were all his direct subordinates except for Captain Gu and his men! No one else had seen this, but the Southern Ghost Emperor was here, slapping him in the face right now.

The furious official shouted, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, why are you all in such a sorry state If you don't explain yourselves today, don't blame me for throwing you all in jail!"

Everyone immediately said.

"There was a little person..."

"He's just too strong, we're no match for him…"

“He ran, he ran, it's all Captain Gu's fault…”

Everyone was talking excitedly and chaotically, but not a single sentence was complete.

Whoosh!

The Southern Ghost Emperor's face darkened, and he waved his hand, removing the soul-binding whips that were bound to them. He glared blackly: "Don't rush. Tell me one by one, Bull Head Horse Face, you two speak first!"

Free from restraints, they finally rose to their feet and knelt down on the ground in unison.

The ox head said nervously, “We received a report from the city that the Judgement Hall was delayed. We came here to check and found that they had all been tied up by a young thief. After we intervened...we were overpowered and tied up as well.”

Ma Mian lowered his head and said: "That thief is bold and daring. He stole the jade talisman to summon the King of Hell, intending to bind him and take him out of the city. But for some unknown reason, he suddenly fled."

"Humph!"

"Hmph!" Yama scoffed, his voice filled with anger. "You dare to bind me You think I'm some trash like you lot If I were to see him, I'd personally send him to the 18th layer of Hell, where he'll suffer for eternity and never be reborn!"

All bowed their heads, trembling and afraid to answer.

"First, be quiet and understand the whole picture before making a judgment!"

The Southern Ghost Emperor spoke in a deep voice, “Black and White Impermanence, what do you say”

The ox-head and horse-face only spoke a little, without completeness.

The Black and White Imps quickly summarized the situation.

Soon, everyone said it, including the village chief who was nearly scared out of his wits.

"He entered the Underworld from Dongcheng's Beastly Dao, crossing Shiyu to arrive in Nancheng. Then he moved on from Changsheng Town…" Yama summarized the events, his voice growing heavier with each word. What kind of person could this be

What on earth is he after!

Suddenly, I dared not speak at random and turned my head to look at the Southern Ghost Emperor.

The Southern Ghost Emperor was equally shocked. He easily subdued four of the top ten Yin Generals, but to travel here from Dongcheng, the journey must be incredibly long Especially since he couldn't fly.

The soul of Pū Tong is not capable of leaving a single city, let alone the town of Changsheng.

He… his purpose

The Southern Ghost Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly entered the house behind him, shouting, "Judge, come in! See if there are any omissions in this record"

He was looking for someone, and Jia Sidao's words might have been offhand, so it must be someone else. He appeared here again, perhaps his purpose was hidden in the room.three of them were relying on Shangguan Rou to block it. Even if they could block it, it meant that the three of them would have to stay here all the time, not to mention that their spiritual energy w...
