But Peace of Mind
They can't come.
When Gu Li spoke of this, he seemed completely at ease. In order to convince Black Dragon, he even stretched lazily.
"They can't even take care of themselves right now, yet they still want to protect us? It seems that's impossible."
Black Dragon, who was just about to retreat, stopped and gestured at the demons.
The retreating demons all stopped. They really didn't understand what His Excellency Black Dragon was up to. One moment he wanted to retreat, the next he wanted to stop.
"Gu Li, just how many more things are you hiding from me?"
Black Dragon gazed darkly at Gu Li. The Three Realms couldn't come. For him to say that with such certainty, he definitely had a meticulous plan.
Perhaps his forces had already infiltrated the various realms.
Seeing this, Black Dragon panicked slightly. Was it possible that Gu Li's people were among the demons behind him as well?
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, why are you looking at me like that? I'm a coward. What if you scare me?"
Gu Li feigned an aggrieved expression.
"Even if I have ten thousand tricks up my sleeves, we're not enemies. Your Excellency Black Dragon, why take it to heart?"
"Since we're allies, can we make it clear whether or not we've surrendered?" Black Dragon snorted angrily, his expression dark. "I never would have guessed that Gu Li would be able to infiltrate the Three Realms. Should I admire you or admire you?"
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, what are you talking about? Whether it's the former or the latter, aren't you admiring me in the end?"
He smiled at Black Dragon, then seemed to sense Black Dragon's unrelenting vigilance. He shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Fine, then I'll tell you. In truth, we've been infiltrating the Three Realms since a year ago. "
… …
Boom!
Two fists collided.
Ox-head's eyes widened, his nostrils fuming with white smoke. Across from him stood one of the ten Ghost Marshals of the Underworld, Leopard Tail.
He smiled calmly and swung his arms, his eyes filled with mockery.
"You do have some brute strength."
"Leopard Tail, you actually dared collude with the demons?"
One of Ox-head's horns had already been broken. He looked dispirited and listless. His soul had clearly been severely damaged.
Not far away from him, Horse-Face had already lost consciousness and fallen to the ground. Looking at his brother who had been with him for tens of thousands of years, Ox-Head's eyes became even redder.
An hour later.
All of this happened in the short span of an hour. They received Ye Zichen's message, consulted the Fengdu Emperor of the North, and sent reinforcements.
However, an hour ago, the Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, Fish Gill, and Wasp Ghost Commanders suddenly attacked them. In order to save Ox-Head, Horse-Face took the combined attack of the four of them.
After that, he fainted from his heavy injuries and never woke up again.
Moreover, the Ghost Soldiers led by the four of them also attacked Ox-Head and the others without any warning. The scene became chaotic.
"Scram."
At that moment, the Black and White Impermanence repelled the fish gills and wasps that were entangling them and went to Ox-head's side.
When they saw Horse-Face lying on the ground, their pupils constricted. However, in the blink of an eye, they withdrew their thoughts and focused their gazes on Leopard Tail and the other three.
Just like ten thousand years ago, the Ghost Commander who controlled the lives of humans and the Ghost Commander who controlled the lives of daemons once again stood on opposing sides.
"What a familiar scene."
Leopard Tail bared his sharp teeth as he rubbed his chin with his thumb and forefinger. He smiled savagely.
"Leopard Tail, the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens is benevolent and allowed you to remain in the Underworld as Ghost Commanders. Yet, you colluded with the demons. How dare you face the Great Emperor?"
Xie Bi 'an roared. Due to the enemy's sudden attack, they didn't have the upper hand.
"Of course we have to respect the Great Emperor. He saved us from your clutches and converted us into Ghost Commanders. It's fair to say that the Great Emperor's benevolence is akin to giving us a new lease on life. Of course we remember that," said Leopard Tail sincerely.
Then he arched his brows. "But the Great Emperor is no longer here.
"However, the Great Emperor is no longer here. The one in charge of the Underworld is the Necropolis Great Emperor of the North. Don't think I don't know that the Great Emperor is on good terms with you, Xie Bi 'an. He also looks down on us. There's no helping it; we need to protect ourselves! "
"That's all in the past. Since the Fengdu Emperor of the North sits at the pinnacle of the Underworld, he'll definitely be fair and impartial. He won't be partial to anyone. Besides, you've been a Ghost Commander in the Underworld for ten thousand years. Why would the Fengdu Emperor do anything to you? "Xie Bi 'an rebuked.
"Is that so?" Leopard Tail looked hesitant. Xie Bi 'an also tried to persuade him. "It's not too late to stop now. When the time comes, I'll definitely ask the Fengdu Emperor for mercy on your behalf. Considering the four of you have worked hard in the Underworld for ten thousand years, I believe the Great Emperor will be lenient with you. "
"Then we … surrender?"
Leopard Tail acted as if he'd been persuaded, but his lips quickly curled into a smile. Then he laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, I was just kidding. Surrender? Do you think we're stupid? That Fengdu Emperor of the North doesn't like us to begin with. Now that we colluded with the demons, he'll have even more evidence against us. Be lenient! Bullsh * t! Let me tell you, you must die today! "
"The Great Emperor has eyes and ears everywhere. Do you think he doesn't know what's going on here? It won't be long before he arrives. When that happens, there'll be no turning back! "
"Him? He's like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river. He can't even protect himself. And you still want him to save you? Laughable. "
The Underworld.
"Heh, four of the Five Ghost Emperors have come, and three of the Rahu Six Skies have come. It's been a while since the Underworld has been this lively. Come, Lord! "
The Fengdu Emperor of the North sat on the highest seat in the Underworld's main hall, overlooking the crowd below. The Ten Yama Kings stood on either side of the hall, their expressions tense. Everyone who'd appeared now had ill intentions.
Ksitigarbha was also in the hall. His mount, Diting, also growled uneasily.
"Rumor has it that the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens ascended to godhood. How could we not know about such a major event? We're the Five Ghost Emperors, after all. This doesn't make sense. "
The speaker was the Ghost Emperor of the East, Cai Yulei. He had a human body, the face of a horse, and the horns of a bull. He ruled over the Gates of the Abyss on Mount Taozhi.
"That's right. This is too disappointing."
The speaker was the Ghost Emperor of the South, Du Ziren. He ruled over Mount Luofu.
The Fengdu Emperor of the North smiled faintly at the two Ghost Emperors who'd spoken.
"Big brother likes peace and quiet. Moreover, ascending to godhood is only a necessary part of his life, so he hasn't publicly announced it. This is in line with big brother's personality. Besides, Big Brother's ascension to godhood won't have much of an impact on all of you, so why should we disturb you? If you've all come for this, then leave. Big brother has already ascended, so there's no point in staying. "
