After seeing Tang Zheng, Song Jiangwang's eyes widened and he staggered backward.
He thought that he had come to the wrong place. This was the eighteenth level of hell, how could there be a living person?
Moreover, there shouldn't be living people in the World of Spirits and Souls!
But when he turned his gaze and saw Dizang Of Goguryeo, he was sure that he hadn't come to the wrong place.
But immediately, he was even more confused. He stared straight at Tang Zheng and asked, "Who are you? Hey, why do you look a little familiar? "
Tang Zheng's head moved. He had never seen him before, why would he find him familiar?
Before Tang Zheng could ask the question in his heart, Song Jiangwang exclaimed again and stared at Tang Zheng incredulously.
"You … you are that person! The person who guards the Tree of Life! "
Hmm?
Tang Zheng's heart trembled. How did he recognize me? At that time, he didn't appear in the human world. Could it be … that vortex?
His guess was right.
Although the Ten Kings of Hell hadn't arrived in the human world, the vortex was equivalent to their eyes. They had seen the battle below clearly. Not only him, but even the Empyrean Fairy and Tian Chanzi were seen clearly by them.
The last time Tang Zheng came to the World of Spirits and Souls, he used illusion to disguise himself. In the hearts of the King of Hell and the King of Cakravarti, he had already sunk into the River Styx and died long ago. So even if they saw Tang Zheng's true face from the vortex, they didn't recognize him.
However, the Ten Kings of Hell remembered Tang Zheng's face.
Song Jiangwang didn't recognize him at once, mainly because he didn't expect him to be in the Ninth Level of Hell.
Now that he recognized him, he was really shocked and angry.
This living person actually came to the World of Spirits and Souls, and even came to the Ninth Level of Hell. Most importantly, he was safe and sound. This … was beyond his common sense.
Since he was recognized, Tang Zheng became extra careful and ready to attack. He asked cautiously, "Which one of the Ten Kings of Hell are you?"
"He is Song Jiangwang." Dizang Of Goguryeo suddenly spoke.
Only then did Song Jiangwang realize that Tang Zheng and Dizang Of Goguryeo did not make a big fuss. This was beyond common sense. Therefore, he looked at both parties thoughtfully.
"Song Jiangwang, I'll remember that." Tang Zheng nodded.
He was not familiar with the Ten Kings of Hell at all, so he did not know how powerful Song Jiangwang was. However, he did not dare to underestimate him.
Last time, he had been chased by King Yanluo and the Cakravarti King to the point that he could only flee. If not for the protection of the Four Divine Beasts, he would have long lost his life in the Ghost World.
From this, one could see how powerful the Ten Kings of Hell were.
"You've got some guts. How dare you come to the World of Spirits and Souls? What is your ulterior motive?" Song Jiangwang scolded sternly, but he glanced at Dizang Of Goguryeo from the corner of his eyes.
Song Jiangwang was wise and resourceful, but he was suspicious by nature. He did not trust anyone but himself.
Therefore, when he saw that Tang Zheng and Dizang Of Goguryeo were safe and sound, he became suspicious. Could it be that this person was in cahoots with Dizang Of Goguryeo? Otherwise, how could he explain why he came to the World of Spirits and Souls and ended up in the Ninth Level of Hell for no reason?
If he did not have the guidance of an expert, how could he have done this? Moreover, there was the Ghost Labyrinth set up by Dizang Of Goguryeo outside. It was not something that could be broken in by any ordinary person.
All in all, all of this was strange and could not be explained by common sense.
Song Jiangwang was good at concocting conspiracies. Naturally, he thought that all of this was a conspiracy.
He couldn't help but rejoice that he had come to the Nine Serenities Hell. Otherwise, who knew what the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was plotting with this person. At that time, the Ten Kings of Hell would be caught unprepared.
This Dizang Of Goguryeo seemed to have been enlightened. He even knew to join forces with humans. Could it be that he had misjudged him?
Song Jiangwang's thoughts turned thousands of times, and his gaze wandered.
Seeing him like this, Tang Zheng said fearlessly, "Why would I tell you my purpose for coming here?"
"How dare you! In the World of Spirits and Souls, you still dare to be so arrogant. Could it be that you have something to rely on? "Song Jiangwang said firmly.
Tang Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What do I need to rely on? I don't need anything! "
"Is that so?" Song Jiangwang was skeptical. In his heart, he had already determined that Tang Zheng was the Dizang Of Goguryeo's accomplice. Naturally, he would not believe these words.
He turned around and said to the Dizang Of Goguryeo, "Dizang Of Goguryeo, this person is from the human world. He is our enemy. What business does he have here?"
Since he could not get anything out of Tang Zheng, he turned his attention to the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
The Dizang Of Goguryeo raised his eyes and looked at Song Jiangwang without sadness or joy. He said, "You know better than me why he is here."
"What do I know?"
"The cause that you sowed back then is the fruit that you bear today."
"Cause and effect?"
"Yes!"
Song Jiangwang's heart skipped a beat as he stared at the Dizang Of Goguryeo. The cause that he sowed back then, could it be that he used the Nine Underworld Lightning to kill the Tree of Life and then took the opportunity to absorb the original energy of the human world?
This action was actually instigated by him. Song Jiangwang was too smart. From an ancient book, he discovered the difference between a large world and a small world. He also understood that the small world was in danger of being destroyed at any time. Therefore, he encouraged the Ten Kings of Hell to take the opportunity to destroy the Tree of Life.
At that time, he was not one of the Ten Kings of Hell. It was because of this incident that his prestige rose and he became one of the Ten Kings of Hell.
In fact, their action of using the Nine Underworld Lightning to kill the Tree of Life could be said to be huge. At that time, human cultivators were still in this world, but they knew very little about the Tree of Life. Basically, no one knew the use of the Tree of Life. They were careless and gave the Ghost Realm an opportunity.
The Nine Underworld Lightning successfully killed the Tree of Life. The original energy of the human world collapsed and the spiritual energy gradually became thin.
The Ghost Realm took the opportunity to use the Nine Underworld Eye to absorb the original energy of the human world and quietly advanced to a large world.
However, the Ghost Realm did pay a price.
The Nine Underworld Hell in front of them was the aftermath.
In fact, the Nine Underworld used to be a paradise in the Ghost Realm. It was a holy land for cultivation. Because of the existence of the Nine Underworld Eye, the Yin energy here was rich and cultivation was twice the result with half the effort. It was a place that many members of the Ghost Realm flocked to.
However, ever since they used the Nine Underworld Eye to absorb the original energy of the human world, the Nine Underworld changed. The Yin energy was mixed with a lot of evil energy. Once it was absorbed into the body, it would lose itself and eventually become a machine that only knew how to kill.
The Ten Kings of Hell were forced to stop the plan to absorb the original energy of the human world. In fact, according to their original plan, they wanted to use the Nine Underworld Eye to absorb the original energy of the human world completely. This way, the Ghost Realm could become stronger.
However, things did not go according to their wishes. The Nine Underworld had undergone earth-shaking changes. All the members of the Ghost Realm nearby had mutated. Among them, the most famous one was one of the Ten Kings of Hell. He also mutated and was forced to be sealed in the Nine Underworld. As a result, there was a vacancy in the position of King of Hell. Only then did Song Jiangwang have the opportunity to fill the vacancy.
Since then, the Nine Underworld was crowned with the name of hell. It meant that the most terrifying place in the Ghost Realm had become the Nine Underworld Hell. As for the Nine Underworld Eye, it became the eighteen layers of hell that they were currently in.
At the mention of karma, scenes of the past flashed through Song Jiangwang's mind. A ferocious glint flashed across his eyes as he said, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the theory of karma is just your own words."
Dizang Of Goguryeo was not angry. He just shook his head gently, "The truth is right in front of you. Do you still not believe it?"
"I only trust the power in my hands." Song Jiangwang's palm flicked open. The Yama's Seal in his hand began to spin, flickering with a dim light.
Although he said so, he could not help but feel nervous. Originally, he wanted to ask the Dizang Of Goguryeo to come out of seclusion. Once the Tree of Life was destroyed, he would think of ways to sow discord between the relationship between the Dizang Of Goguryeo and the King of Hell. He did not believe that with his intelligence and wisdom, he would not be able to sow discord between the two sides.
At that time, he would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, then reap the benefits. The vast Ghost Realm would be in his pocket.
His wishful thinking could not be said to be not good, but he did not expect that Tang Zheng would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
He still could not figure out the relationship between Tang Zheng and the Dizang Of Goguryeo. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he kept probing. He was ready to use a trick again. He wanted to tie down the Dizang Of Goguryeo first, then he would have a chance to make a move. Otherwise, he did not have the ability to make a move in front of the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this person is a public enemy of the Ghost World. He should be punished. I'll bring him back for interrogation. I'll take my leave first." King Song Jiang probed hypocritically.
Unexpectedly, the Dizang Of Goguryeo did not give him face at all. He asked directly, "He is with me. Can you take him away?"
This sentence seemed to be plain, but it was full of protection.
Song Jiangwang's heart trembled, and he said, "Dizang Of Goguryeo, you may not have heard my words clearly. He is the public enemy of the Ghost Realm. Not only me, but the other Nine Kings of Hell also want to punish him. This is not my idea alone."
He used the names of the other Kings of Hell in an attempt to scare the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
After all, although the Dizang Of Goguryeo was powerful, he still had to take into account the illustrious reputation of the Ten Kings of Hell.
The Dizang Of Goguryeo already had an idea in his heart. Moreover, there was that mysterious and unpredictable Heavenly Decree. Of course, he would not just watch as Tang Zheng was taken away. He said, "The Ten Kings of Hell's reputation is so great. I don't care about worldly affairs, but that does not mean I will be bullied for everything. Back then, you tricked me into coming to the Nine Serenities Hell. I haven't settled this debt with you yet. "
Song Jiangwang's expression turned ugly. He did not expect the Dizang Of Goguryeo to have seen through his scheme back then. However, Song Jiangwang was a veteran of hundreds of battles. He immediately regained his composure and said bitterly, "Dizang Of Goguryeo, everything that happened back then was the King of Hell's idea. At that time, I had just become the King of Hell and did not have any prestige at all. I could not compete with the other Kings of Hell, let alone go against the King of Hell's decree. Therefore, the main culprit who trapped you here was the King of Hell, and not me. I tried to persuade him many times, but it was useless."
The Dizang Of Goguryeo looked at him with neither joy nor sorrow. This gaze made Song Jiangwang's heart beat like a drum. However, he still held it in and did not look away. He pretended to be magnanimous as he looked at the Dizang Of Goguryeo.
Tang Zheng did not expect the Dizang Of Goguryeo to be so righteous and protect him like this. However, when he saw that Song Jiangwang did not put him in his eyes at all, the anger in his heart rose bit by bit.
