Please!
"It's that simple?"
He'd given away the seat of the highest authority in the Underworld just like that, and in such a simple way?
The Ghost Emperor looked at the Necropolis Emperor of the North, trying to read his expression. However, he'd long since reached a level where he couldn't show his emotions on his face. It was too difficult to read anything from his face.
"The Necropolis of the North."
In the distance, Ksitigarbha couldn't help but frown. This was the seat of the highest authority in the Underworld. He had absolute authority over the Underworld.
In Ksitigarbha's opinion, only the Fengdu Emperor of the North was qualified to sit in this position within the Underworld.
To tell the truth, he didn't think much of the other five ghost emperors.
Disregarding everything else, their temperaments alone made them unsuitable for the position.
The five ghost emperors each managed their respective hells. They'd seen the most despicable faces in the world. Who knew if their hearts had warped after spending so much time in that kind of environment?
When the Necropolis Emperor had left, he'd been very much in favor of leaving his position to the Necropolis of the North.
But now, the Necropolis was giving it away, and in such a simple way at that.
As long as Cai Yulei dared walk over and sit down, he'd give it to him.
"I'll have to disappoint you, Ksitigarbha. I really don't have much interest in this position."
The Necropolis turned around and smiled apologetically at Ksitigarbha. Then he gestured at Cai Yulei.
"Please."
Thirty meters.
The Eastern Ghost Emperor, Cai Yulei, was only thirty meters away from the supreme position, and this thirty meters would determine his future position.
He'd still be sitting in the seat of the Ghost Emperor, watching the ugliest side of the world.
He'd still sit in the highest position, in charge of the Underworld's life and death.
But the Necropolis's conditions were too simple. As long as he dared walk over, he'd give up his position. If he'd been the one to sit in this position, he wouldn't have given it away so easily.
Perhaps there was a trap.
"What, I've already given you the position. Why aren't you moving? Didn't you come here for this position?"
With that, the Fengdu of the Beiyin looked at Du Ziren and the palace gods of the other heavenly palaces.
"If Cai Yulei doesn't make a move, then you can make a move. Whoever takes the throne will be the future Lord of Hell. If anyone dares to disobey me, they will be the first to get past me. Go up, the opportunity is right in front of you, you must learn to cherish it. "
"Let me."
The Ghost Emperor of the South, Du Ziren, gritted his teeth and strode forward. Seeing him move, Cai Yulei couldn't help but beat his chest and stomp his feet, blaming himself for being too cautious and letting someone else take the initiative.
Immediately after, he rushed towards that location as fast as he could.
This was the supreme position of the Underworld, and he couldn't give it to anyone else.
When Du Ziren saw Cai Yulei approaching, he also increased his speed to the maximum.
"Ah …"
However, in an instant, Du Ziren, who was at the very front, let out a miserable shriek the moment he stepped onto the stairs. White smoke began to rise from his body.
When he saw this, Cai Yulei forced himself to a stop. He stared blankly at Du Ziren, who knelt on the ground and howled in pain. Then, he turned to look at the Necropolis of the North with bloodshot eyes.
"Beiyin Fengdu, you cheated!"
"No." The Fengdu of the Beiyin laughed calmly. "Do you think that seat is so easy to sit on? Those nine steps are the Nine Great Punishments of the Underworld. In order to become the Lord of a local prefecture, one had to undergo the nine great punishments. I didn't lie to you. Before I sit on that throne, I will also undergo this baptism. This is the same logic as how the supreme beings of the Heavenly Court have to endure the burning of ninety-nine heavenly flames. "
"Bullsh * t! This emperor has been in the Underworld for so long, but how come I've never heard of this!?" Cai Yulei roared angrily.
"You've been in the Underworld for so long. Could it be that there have been many changes in the supreme beings of the Underworld? Wasn't it always the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heaven? My words are still the same. If you want to sit in that position, then go and endure the pain of the nine steps. There's no point in talking anymore. "
His gaze landed on Du Ziren, who had already fainted on the ground.
Cai Yulei's heart skipped a beat as he watched. Soon after, he withdrew his gaze and snorted with an ice-cold expression.
"Trying to scare me? I almost believed the Fengdu of the Northern Yin. You must have left a restriction there when you came down. Otherwise, how could you have so easily said that you would give up your position. The Fengdu of the Northern Yin sure is sinister. " Cai Yulei looked at the Fengdu of the Northern Yin with a dark expression and snorted. "But it doesn't matter. Du Ziren has fallen, but this emperor is still here. As long as I take care of you, this emperor will still be the supreme lord of the Underworld. "
Boom.
Spiritual energy surged into the sky. A light-blue spiritual body appeared behind Cai Yulei, the Ghost Emperor of the East, and a horse.
The horse constantly rubbed its feet, its eyes flashing with a demonic, fiery red light.
Gusts of spiritual energy swept through the hall. The Yama Kings of the Ten Halls paled as they sensed the heart-palpitating spiritual pressure.
Immortal kings.
Immortal kings at the very least.
"Are we still going to fight? That's fine. I'll take care of all of you as soon as possible. I still have other matters to attend to. "
The Fengdu of the North sighed helplessly, then drew a circle in front of him with a fish inside.
The vast river surged out of the circle, and before long, it had reached everyone's shoulders.
There was a large door above the river.
Soon after, bubbles began to appear at the bottom of the surging river.
Whoosh.
A carp leapt into the air, leaping over the gate and transforming into a dragon.
Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate!
The dragon's roar was deafening!
At the same time, the Fengdu of the North beckoned at them with his finger.
"Alright, come at me together."
He couldn't even protect himself.
Xie Bi 'an's expression darkened as he faced off against Leopard Tail. He narrowed his eyes and roared, "Leopard Tail!"
"Xie Bi 'an!"
"Xie Bi 'an, do you really think you can scare me like this?" Leopard Tail snorted playfully. "Why don't I tell you why he can't even protect himself? I'll tell you the truth. Right now, the Ghost Emperor of the East and Ghost Emperor of the South, as well as the Fengdu of the North control Mount Rahu. The Heavenly Palace of Zhou Jue Yin, the Heavenly Palace of Tai Sha Liang, and the Heavenly Palace of Zong Ling Qi Fei — the guardian gods of three heavenly palaces are forcing you to abdicate. Do you understand? The Great Emperors you trust won't be able to save you. "
"Could it be that they …."
"Don't think too much about it. Why would these experts collude with the demons? They're just working together."
Leopard Tail narrowed his eyes and laughed softly. Xie Bi 'an's heart sank. Even the Ghost Emperor was colluding with the demons? What on earth was going on?
"You'd best just give up, lest we ruin our friendship."
"It seems there's no other way."
