Chapter 274: Life Is Not Easy, The King of Hell Sighs (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell wanted to go to the Upper Realm to see which bastard was trying to steal his business, there were rules between the two realms. The Moongazer Serpent King of Hell could not go to the Upper Realm at all.
He could only get some information through the reapers working in the Moongazer Serpent Realm.
And this really allowed him to find out something.
Combining the places where most of the cultivator’s souls had disappeared and the movements of the cultivators from the Moongazer Serpent Realm, they quickly locked onto a cultivator named Lu Yuan.
After all, the cultivator of the Moongazer Serpent Realm couldn’t enter the Ghost Realm after their souls died.
However, when they reincarnated, they were all recorded in the Book of Life and Death.
Therefore, when everyone died, a certain amount of death information would appear in the Book of Life and Death.
There wasn’t much information, but it would show how the person died and who killed him.
King of Hell saw that many cultivators had died at the hands of Lu Yuan but their souls had not entered the Ghost Realm at all. Combined with the information the reapers had gathered in the Upper Realm, identifying Lu Yuan, this cross-realm opponent, was not something difficult.
“Great King, how long do you think this Lu Yuan can live?”
The Moongazer Serpent judge sighed and asked when he saw the frown of the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell.
The Moongazer Serpent King of Hell put down the ‘dismal’ reincarnation namelist in his hand and said through gritted teeth, “Generally, this kind of people who got killed by the heavens won’t have a short life. Look at this guy’s lifespan. The others’ lifespan gets shorter as they live and this guy’s lifespan gets longer instead.”
“Previously, he only had three thousand years of lifespan. Recently, it has directly increased to six thousand years.”
ii
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Book of Life and Death showed that this guy was only at the Core Formation Stage, I would have suspected that this guy had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage. After all, only Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can have such a long lifespan.”
“Judge Chen, why do you think this cultivator called Lu Yuan, with such good abilities, has to live so long?”
“He’s only a little over 200 years old now, but look at the number of cultivators who died at his hands. Damn, I’ve never seen anyone so ruthless.”
“It’s fine if he doesn’t make a move, but once he makes a move, he will definitely crush the opponent into ashes, causing the enemy’s soul to dissipate. If such a talent dies and comes to our Ghost Realm, he will definitely be an expert in the field.”
“It’s only because I don’t have any good reapers. Otherwise, how could 1 let those Core Formation Stage cultivators of the Moongazer Serpent Realm be so free? Some people even dare to extend their life forcefully. Let’s see what they can do.”
The more he spoke, the sadder the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell became.
It is said that good people are bullied and good horses are ridden.
If this king is kind… he would also be bullied!
The normal process of a reaper capturing someone was to wait until someone’s lifespan was exhausted before sending the reapers to capture them.
However, the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell had only been in office for three thousand years, so he didn’t have any capable subordinates.
As a result, the process of capturing souls in the Moongazer Serpent Ghost Realm was restricted.
However, the previous Moongazer Serpent King of Hell had been invited by Hades to the Reincarnation Realm due to his outstanding performance.
When he left, he would definitely bring his team of elites with him.
Therefore, the new Moongazer Serpent King of Hell, with no capable subordinates, could only start all over again.
As a result, things fell into a vicious circle.
It was not easy to catch people if the reapers were not competent.
And If they couldn’t catch the souls, they couldn’t meet their performance standard.
The Moongazer Serpent King of Hell hadn’t met his performance targets for three thousand years.
The assessment of a new King of Hell was five thousand years.
In other words, if the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell couldn’t complete the mission in the next 2,000 years, he would have to step down from this position.
This wasn’t good news for the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell.
In order to become the King of Hell of the Moongazer Serpent Realm, he had given countless dreams to his descendants and asked them to burn a large amount of incense and paper money.
Relying on this money, he barely managed to sit on the throne of the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell.
He had thought that he could earn a lot of money by using his identity as the King of Hell, paving the way for him to break through to the Apotheosis Stage.
However, who knew that being a King of Hell was not easy at all? It was useless to have strength himself.
As a King of Hell, he was only capable of intimidating the evil ghosts in the Ghost Realm.
However, regarding reaper missions in the world of living, he couldn’t possibly do it himself as the King of Hell.
This was not a matter of losing face, but it was easy to cause trouble.
Once he left the Hades Palace, who knew if some troublemakers from the Moongazer Serpent Ghost Realm would show up.
He had no subordinates, the assessment was about to end, and his performance was bleak.
He thought about how high-spirited he was when he first took office.
He wanted to make the new Moongazer Serpent Hades Palace bigger, stronger and create more glory.
But now, he was facing the crisis of being laid off at any time.
This made Moongazer Serpent King of Hell feel sour.
The King of Hell… it wasn’t that easy to be one!
When will his subordinates be able to produce some powerful reapers?
If he had some powerful subordinates, he would have sent his people to the World of Living to warn Lu Yuan.
Even if he couldn’t make him stop, he could at least start a contracting business with Lu Yuan.
For example, when Lu Yuan killed an enemy, he could destroy the physical body, but give the soul to the King of Hell.
Like this, he would not have to worry about the enemy returning and the performance of the Moongazer Serpent Realm King of Hell would also meet his performance. It’s a win-win situation!
Unfortunately, the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell didn’t have such a ruthless subordinate.
Moreover, according to the information in the Book of Life and Death, Lu Yuan was so ruthless that he must be a devil who killed without blinking.
He had originally wanted to send someone over to communicate with him and see if there was anything they could work together on.
However, he felt that if this subordinate went, he would most likely be beaten up and would never return.
After all, how could such a ruthless person believe the ghost reaper?
Thinking of this, the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell slammed the table hard.
“Damn it, this cultivator called Lu Yuan better not come to the Ghost Realm. Otherwise, 1 will definitely not let him have a good time. 1’11 let him know what it means for humans and ghosts to take different paths!”
“A living person is interfering with us, ghost cultivators. Ridiculous!”
“Great King, Great King, bad news, bad news!”
As soon as the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell finish speaking, a reaper ran in.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so flustered?” The Moongazer Serpent King of Hell frowned.
Faced with the angry Moongazer Serpent King of Hell, the reaper immediately knelt on the ground in fear and cracked on the spot.
The Rip Ghost had split its body apart in extreme fear. Wasn’t that reasonable?
The ghost officer who was a Rip Ghost hurriedly said, “Great, great, great king, there’s a situation. There’s a situation at the Gates of Hell.”
“What’s the situation?”
“That human cultivator, Lu Yuan, whom the king has been talking about, has suddenly come out of the Gates of Hell!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell stood up excitedly.
When the Goat-Horned Judge saw this, he thought that the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell was about to take revenge.
Therefore, he congratulated, “Congratulations, Your Majesty. This Lu Yuan actually came to the Ghost Realm. Your Majesty will soon teach this arrogant fellow a lesson and let him understand that our Moongazer Serpent Ghost Realm is not to be trifled with.”
The judge thought that he was just bootlicking, but the burly Moongazer Serpent King of Heli slapped him.
Pa!
The Judge, who had been slapped for no reason, looked at the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell in confusion, as if he could not believe what was happening in front of him.
The Moongazer Serpent King of Hell, who was a crimson ghost, looked at him seriously and said, “What do you mean by an arrogant fellow? This is my future trusted general.”
“He was insensible when he was alive. Now that he’s dead and his soul has come, he’ll definitely be much more mature.”
ii
Listen well, in a while, you will welcome him together with me. If anyone dares to provoke my future trusted general, I will definitely let them have a taste of the eighteen levels of hell.”
“What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and prepare! We would welcome him according to the rules of the other King of Hell.”
“How do you say this way of doing things in the World of Living? Yes. Be courteous to a man with talent. Let’s do it!”
After saying that, the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell excitedly walked toward the Gates of Hell of the Moongazer Serpent Ghost Realm.
The judge looked at Ghost King of Hell Moongazer Serpent’s burly back and covered his face as he cried silently in the corner.
“You were the one who wanted to beat someone up, and now you’re the one who wants to warmly welcome others.” he thought.
“No wonder you’re the King of Hell, and I’m just a small Judge.”
“The politics of Hades Palace is really deep. I can’t grasp it…”
After sorting out his emotions, the judge immediately followed the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell and walked towards the Gates of Hell.
He had just been rewarded with a slap by the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell. He didn’t want to be rewarded with another because he had neglected Lu Yuan.
Moreover, he had just learned the trick to surviving in the Hades palace.
Just one sentence… Take advantage of the situation!
“When you were still alive, you are the enemy of our two worlds.” the judge thought.
“But when you die, we brothers in the same trench!”
