Chapter 554: Chapter 395: Surround and Kill Xu Yang, Six-pointed Star Array!
“Ding!”
“Lord Cui is frightened. Meritorious value +1 million, Resurrect +1, Embryonic Transformation +1, Size Manipulation +1.”
Listening to Xu Yang’s heartfelt expression, Lord Cui felt his scalp tingle!
Damn!
How foolish I was!
When Xu Yang first came to Fengdu City, he attracted the attention of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu. The Emperor, who ruled over the netherworld, even personally communicated with him and asked him to take good care of Xu Yang…
At that time, he even used the Book of Life and Death but didn’t see Xu Yang’s “previous life and future.” He should have understood that Xu Yang was no ordinary mortal, and he should have guessed some clues!
Now, the situation had become like this. Although he was misled by the “Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu,” if we put aside the facts, didn’t he have even a little responsibility?
The key point is…
Lord Cui didn’t dare to have the slightest idea of blaming Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu!
So…
Smack!
He fiercely slapped himself and pleaded, “Celestial Master Xu, please consider my request. From now on, I’ll call you Heavenly Master, and you can call me Cui Jue or Xiao Cui.”
Lord Cui’s actions puzzled Xu Yang.
What the hell was going on?
During the time when he subdued Niu Mang, Lord Cui’s performance was also strange.
Now he didn’t even let himself call him “Older Brother”?
Although doubtful, Xu Yang could not hide the smile on his face… In any case, he had obtained this meritorious value in reality, and it was a 1 million points boost at once. At this rate, if he brushed him a few hundred more times, wouldn’t he directly take off from his current position?
Xu Yang thought about it and said, “Brother Cui, you have been as gracious as a mountain to me. If it weren’t for you, I might have died in the hands of that ancestor from Lu Shan Sect. How could I directly address you by your name?”
Lord Cui said, “Then you can call me Lord Cui.”
Xu Yang bowed with a fist and said, “Lord Cui!”
Only then did Lord Cui breathe a sigh of relief, smiling and saying, “Celestial Master Xu… What are you still standing for? Sit, please sit quickly… This is a feast I specially prepared for you. Give it a taste, Celestial Master Xu, and see if it suits your taste.”
The two of them drank and ate the unique delicacies of the Underworld Palace and enjoyed Lord Cui’s treasured celestial wine.
They feasted for almost an hour.
During this time, Lord Cui never again mentioned meritorious value.
“Oh, right!”
After drinking a cup of celestial wine, Lord Cui asked, “Celestial Master Xu, why did you suddenly come to Fengdu City today?”
“I’m not in Da Xia now, but in the West, where I encountered some trouble. Afterward, there might be a big battle.
Xu Yang didn’t hide anything and told the truth about meeting the Western “Death God,” saying, “So I wanted to try if I could enter the Underworld Palace from the West.”
“…”
Lord Cui was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, “You entered the netherworld using your Ghost Communication ability, so naturally, you came to the Underworld Palace… Are you thinking that since you’re in the West, you would enter the Western Hell?”
That’s right.
Before, Xu Yang indeed had this concern.
Lord Cui said, “Those weaklings of the Western Hell are pretty bold, daring to provoke you, Celestial Master Xu… Don’t worry and go back to the mortal world. If there’s any trouble, crush the decree I gave you, and I will be there as soon as possible.”
Hearing Lord Cui say this, Xu Yang immediately raised his cup and said, “With Brother Cui’s words, I’m relieved… Come, Brother Cui, I’ll toast you a cup!”
“Ding!”
“Lord Cui is frightened. Meritorious value +1 million, Resurrect +1, Embryo Transformation +1, Size Manipulation +1.”
Lord Cui jumped in fright and hastily said, “Celestial Master Xu, how can you call me Older Brother again?”
[Meritorious Value]: 5.93 million.
Xu Yang glanced at the system information panel and secretly wondered, “What on earth is going on? Can I really scare such a powerful person as Lord Cui just by calling him Older Brother?”
So…
He tested and said, “Brother Cui?”
Lord Cui: “…”
He sighed deeply, seeming resigned to his fate, and shook his head with a bitter smile, “Forget it, forget it. If you want to call me that, just do as you please.”
“???”
Oh, my!
Xu Yang was at a loss for words.
It didn’t work this time?
Thoughts flicked through his mind as he pretended to be serious and deliberately put on a stern face, “Brother Cui, there’s something I don’t know whether I should say or not… Are you hiding something from me?”
“!!!”
Lord Cui was so scared, even the judge’s hat almost fell off. He stood up again and said, “Celestial Master Xu, what are you talking about? Everyone in heaven and earth knows that I, Cui Jue, am a gentleman and never tell a single lie.”
“Ding!”
“Lord Cui is frightened. Meritorious value +1 million, Resurrect +1, Embryo Transformation +1, Size Manipulation +1.”
“It works indeed!”
“It seems Lord Cui is really hiding something from me!”
Xu Yang continued to pull a stern face and said, “I don’t believe it. Swear!”
Without thinking, Lord Cui raised his finger and said, “I, Lord Cui, swear to the heavens that if I have said a single lie, let Lord Thunder strike me dead with divine thunder!”
“Uh…”
With this, Xu Yang was once again confused.
Lord Cui made such a deadly oath. Could it be that it was not as he had thought?
But if not, what was he afraid of?
Was he afraid of his “son of the emperor” identity?
“No… Lord Cui should be the first person to confirm my identity after Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu. If he was afraid of my identity as the son of the emperor, he would have given me countless merits long ago, not until now.”
Xu Yang had originally come to Fengdu City this time to verify whether he could enter the Underworld Palace from the West.
