If you dare.
The Ghost Emperor's words caused the atmosphere in the hall to become extremely tense. The ten Yama Kings couldn't help but gulp.
They definitely weren't here for the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens' ascension. They were here for the supreme position of the Underworld.
"Eastern Ghost Emperor, don't go too far."
Said Ksitigarbha with narrowed eyes. Beside him, Di Ting also stared at the people in the hall.
From these few sentences, anyone could tell that they were here for the position of the Great Emperor.
It was very rare to see the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lose his temper. After being in the Underworld for so long, he had always been the kind of person who paid no attention to worldly affairs. He only sought to purify evil spirits.
But now, the appearance of these people was clearly disrupting the harmony and balance of Hell.
He hated Wrath now.
Sensing the change in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's tone, the East Ghost Emperor smiled faintly. He twisted his neck, walked to a nearby chair, and sat down.
"Rumor has it that the Buddhist Realm does not participate in the conflicts of the Three Realms. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, do you want to get involved?"
"Before the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens ascended, he left this position to the Necropolis Emperor of the North, so the position of the Underworld belongs to the Necropolis Emperor of the North. If you don't like it, you could've come here before the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens ascended. Now that the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens has ascended, why are you causing trouble here? "
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression darkened, and his words became even sharper.
But his words made everyone in the hall burst into laughter. The Eastern Ghost Emperor shook his head repeatedly, "That's not true," he said.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sure is forgetful. Did you forget what I said before about not knowing about the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven's ascension?"
"Is it because you don't know, or are you unwilling to know?" Ksitigarbha narrowed his eyes. "You don't know about the Great Emperor's ascension, but now you're here? Does it make sense? "
Tit for tat.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva didn't budge an inch as he retorted. His eyes met the Ghost Emperor's.
As their gazes met, fiery sparks burst forth from their eyes. The Eastern Ghost Emperor drummed his fingers on the armrest of his chair as well. His gaze fell upon the Necropolis Emperor of the North.
"Beiyin Fengdu, you have some tricks up your sleeve. You actually made Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva protect you like this. Unfortunately, even if Bodhisattva were here, he wouldn't be able to protect the seat you're sitting on now. "
"Well, what do you think we should do?"
The Necropolis Emperor of the North didn't show any emotion. Even after the Eastern Ghost Emperor said this, he still maintained his smile, his expression calm.
"Right now, I'm sitting on this seat. Then … if you're not satisfied, how do you want to settle this?"
A faint spiritual pressure emanated from the Necropolis Emperor of the North's body and filled the entire hall. But these two calm words caused everyone in the hall to be speechless.
Even the most troublesome Eastern Ghost Emperor was the same.
"Ghost Emperor of the East Cai Yulei, Ghost Emperor of the South Du Ziren, especially the Palace Gods of the Three Heavenly Palaces. You are all under my jurisdiction. I was the one who made you the Palace Lords of the Heavenly Palace Protectors. Now you dare to rebel against me?"
When their gazes landed on the Palace Gods of the Three Heaven Palaces, they subconsciously lowered their heads.
"Could it be that I've oppressed you too deeply, causing you to have thoughts of rebellion? How pitiful and laughable. "
No one spoke in the hall. Only the Fengdu Emperor of the North was left muttering to himself.
As he spoke, he had already walked down from the chair and directly arrived at the Palace Gods of the Three Heavenly Palaces.
"Three days ago, I even went to your Heavenly Palace. At that time, I didn't see any signs of rebellion. Why did you suddenly want to follow Cai Yulei and Du Ziren to rebel against me? Can you tell me? "
Silence.
The Empyrean Gods of the Three Heavenly Palaces only pursed their lips and said nothing. The Beiyin Necropolis Grand Emperor nodded at them indifferently, then walked up to the Eastern Ghost Emperor.
His throat bobbed up and down, even though the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven had always been the supreme being of the Underworld.
However, the Fengdu Emperor of the North was also the second-in-command of the Underworld. Even though the Ghost Emperors were on equal footing with him, they still couldn't compare to him in terms of aura.
"Cai Yulei."
"What, you want to use your power to suppress me?" The Eastern Ghost Emperor snorted.
"Using your power to suppress me? Are you sure you're talking about me? Right now, you're the ones forcing me to abdicate. You've colluded with Du Ziren and my Three Heavenly Palaces' Palace Gods to make trouble for me. You dare say that I'm using my power to suppress you? "
The Fengdu Emperor snorted indifferently, then pointed at the pitch-black throne in the great hall.
"You came here for that seat, didn't you?"
"Hmph, if the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven was still here, that seat would naturally belong to him. But now that he's gone, you and the five Ghost Emperors are both qualified to sit there. "
"But Ksitigarbha said that the Great Emperor passed the seat to me before he left," the Fengdu Emperor of the North said calmly. The Necropolis Emperor of the North's tone was very calm. "You once asked me if I felt at ease sitting in that seat. To tell you the truth, I'm actually uneasy. Sitting in that seat means that everything in the Underworld will be on my shoulders. My every word and action will determine the Underworld's future. Don't be fooled by the limitless glory of that seat, but the pressure is also suffocating. In comparison, I'm actually more willing to take care of my Rahu Mountain, but …. Even that tiny Rahu Mountain produced a traitor. What a failure! "
"Hmph, you're already sitting in that seat. What's the point of saying such hypocritical things?"
The Eastern Ghost Emperor snorted coldly. In his opinion, the Fengdu Emperor's words were just for show.
The scenery up there was limitless. Who wouldn't want to sit in that supreme seat?
"You think I'm lying to you? Then tell me, what do I have to do for you to believe me and give the seat to you? But there are five of you here, but there's only one seat. How are you going to split it? "
"You don't need to worry about that," snorted the Eastern Ghost Emperor. "We're not here to force you to take the seat. The Underworld's supreme power must be omnipotent. Only then can it protect the Underworld's peace. Let's not compete with others. Whoever's fist is bigger will sit in that seat. "
"Fight?" The Fengdu Emperor arched his brows.
The Eastern Ghost Emperor nodded noncommittally, but the Fengdu Emperor of the North shook his head.
"That's no good. The demons are rampaging. If we fight here, we'll only weaken our side's strength."
"Then you don't want to give it to me?" The Eastern Ghost Emperor's expression darkened. It seemed like he was about to attack.
