Chapter 707: Chapter 464: You agreed before I finished speaking?
“Are you leaving now?”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang frowned and said, “Shouldn’t we wait for Marshal Meng and the others to return… After all, the Death Lord is one of the oldest beings in hell. With Marshal Meng, a Da Luo, accompanying you, it would be safer.”
Mentioning Meng Mingshan, Xu Yang asked, “By the way, where did Marshal Meng go? He doesn’t seem to be in the Holy City.”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang said, “Three days ago, Marshal Meng left the Holy City with your nine ghost immortals under his command, saying that he would return in three days… He should be back soon.”
As they spoke, a strong aura soared into the Holy City.
Xu Yang turned his head to see Meng Mingshan flying in mid-air.
In his hand, he was holding a demon about one and a half meters tall.
The demon looked very ugly, with a large head and rocky skin on his face. His lower lip protruded much further than the upper one, and he had two tusks in his mouth, emitting a foul smell.
“Marshal Meng… What is this?”
Xu Yang approached and looked at the demon in Meng Mingshan’s hand, asking puzzledly.
Meng Mingshan casually threw the demon on the ground and said, “This is a demon I caught on my way back. His cultivation is quite good, reaching the realm of a high-ranking true deity. He practices dark and earth element rules, with excellent stealth abilities. He tried to sneak into the Holy City but was discovered by me.”
“Damn it!”
“You filthy Eastern Immortals, how dare you invade our hell?”
Though the demon’s divine power had been bound and he had no power to resist, he didn’t back down, and angrily cursed, “No matter what your plans are, they will be shattered before the great King of Demons, Satan!”
“You will be cast into the deepest purgatory in hell, never to be reborn!”
Slap!
Meng Mingshan waved his hand, and with a slap, the demon was sent flying. He sneered, “I hope your mouth is still as tough when you get to the dungeon later!”
In the folklore, Meng Mingshan has always been seen as a “good guy.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed “criminal souls” to have vacations.
However, as the “warden” of the eighteen layers of hell, how could he manage the evil spirits of the eighteen layers of hell by just relying on his “kindness” alone?
Soon.
The demon was taken away and thrown into the “dungeon” of the Holy City.
Meng Mingshan looked at Xu Yang and said, “Congratulations to Celestial Master Xu for entering the Golden Immortal Realm.”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “It’s not worth mentioning, as I only broke through with the help of peaches and celestial wine given by the Heavenly Emperor.”
He then inquired about the situation of the nine Ghost Immortals.
Now that Xu Yang knew the identities of the nine Ghost Immortals, he was naturally very concerned… Once they could awaken their memories, they would surely regain their strength. At that time, joining forces with Meng Mingshan would be enough to sweep through the entire Western Hell!
It is important to know that each of the Ten Grand Guardians under Emperor Dongyue are famous powerhouses in the three realms, comparable to the Ten Halls of Yama, the Five Great Ghost Emperors, and Lord Cui who guards Fengdu City in the Underworld Palace!
Back then, Lord Cui had repelled the hell army single-handedly using the Book of Life and Death and the Judge’s Pen. If these ten joined forces, even Satan, the Lord of Hell, might have to retreat in the face of their power.
Meng Mingshan shook his head and said, “They are different from me. Recovering their memories is not easy. I have arranged for them to practice in a dangerous area in hell, hoping that they can awaken and return at the critical moment.”
After a pause,
Meng Mingshan continued, “Since Celestial Master Xu has finished his retreat, are you going to visit the Death Lord?”
Xu Yang nodded.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang on the side said, “Can Marshal Meng accompany Celestial Master Xu? That way, even if the Death Lord tries something, you can both retreat safely.”
To everyone’s surprise, Meng Mingshan refused directly.
He said, “Celestial Master Xu can go alone… I believe the Death Lord is a sensible person. I still need to interrogate that high-ranking true deity demon, as he must know more about Satan’s plans.”
…
Meanwhile,
Death Plains.
With the awakening of the Death Lord, the entire Death Plains was shrouded in a fog of death.
Countless spirits lived in the fog.
Underneath the Death Plains, there was a huge space, in the center of which stood a massive “City of Death.” This was the Death Lord’s main base, and the huge “City of Death” should have been an impressive piece of architecture.
However, at the moment…
It appeared somewhat dilapidated!
Inside the City of Death, there were countless divine corpses lying about, especially near the Death Lord’s palace, where there were even more divine corpses!
Even though each inch of land here was inscribed with powerful divine scripts, the ground was still cracked, and the palace had collapsed.
The Death Lord, known as the first powerhouse below the “major deities,” was extremely weak now, his eyes flashing with hints of fear.
Opposite him stood nine extremely powerful figures.
Any one of these nine…
Practically had the strength to defeat the Death Lord.
With the nine joining forces…
The result could be seen.
The Death Lord was almost unilaterally abused, and it was only because he “surrendered” a few seconds late that his “Palace of Death” was almost destroyed.
“Death Lord.”
“You are an ageless powerhouse… You should know what should be said and what shouldn’t.”
“My eldest brother will come to see you soon.”
“Remember, don’t say anything you shouldn’t… Or we nine brothers will level your City of Death.”
