Zhang Ying came to the front of Hell and looked at the two tall stone statues in front of the gate. His heart inexplicably palpitated. These two stone statues had ferocious expressions and were in a fighting stance. They were like arhats that had subjugated demons and devils as they stared at him.
It was as if they were alive!
Zhang Ying looked inside the gate. It was pitch-black inside. The souls in front of him had disappeared after entering it.
He mustered his courage and stepped forward.
“I hope I can reincarnate well in my next life.”
Zhang Ying thought silently and walked into the darkness.
Boom!
A thunderous roar sounded in his ears, causing him to suffer an unprecedented fright, as if his soul would disperse at any time.
He opened his eyes and found himself on a dim path. The souls in front of him were lined up in a long line. Soon after, another soul appeared behind him. Both sides were shrouded in mist, and he could not see anything.
Zhang Ying’s gaze locked onto the front. At the end of the dim path was a palace with two lanterns that emitted a green light. A plaque hung between the lanterns.
Yama Hall!
Those three words were like the brush of a ghost god, filled with ruthlessness and killing intent.
Zhang Ying could not help but look back at his life and suddenly could not tell if he was a good person or a bad person.
“Shit, I’m not really going to Hell, am I?”
Zhang Ying knew that something was amiss. He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but the souls behind him stared at him angrily. Their eyes were filled with hatred before they died, which frightened him so much that he quickly turned his head away.
Soon after, he felt an invisible force pushing him forward.
At this moment, he knew that he could not escape.
He could only pray that the God of the Nine Nether would be gentle with him. Just the thought of the punishments in hHell in the legends made him tremble in fear.
“Even though I have killed people and committed evil, I have also saved people and done good deeds. I have also contributed to the prosperity of Great Jing and benefited countless people. With such actions, they won’t send me to the eighteenth level of Hell, right…”
“Dao Ancestor, please bless me…”
Zhang Ying walked forward with a long face.
After a long wait.
Finally, it was his turn to enter the Yama Hall.
The moment he entered, he lowered his head and allowed the invisible force to push him forward. He did not dare to look forward as his heart was filled with fear.
Finally, the invisible force disappeared and he stopped.
“Zhang Ying. ”
A cold voice sounded. Zhang Ying was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and cried, “God of the Nine Nether, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again in my next life. I will be a good person. Please give me a chance!”
The Head of Punishment, who sat in the high hall, was amused when he saw Zhang Ying’s cowardice.
Naturally, he knew Zhang Ying. When he was in Great Jing, he had interacted with him many times, and he had received countless presents from him.
The Head of Punishment said, “Lift your head and look at me.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ying carefully raised his head and saw a tall figure sitting in the hall. He wore a black robe with the pattern of a mythical beast printed on it. He also wore a bronze mask and a crown of Yama. An indescribable pressure assaulted his face, scaring him so much that he lowered his eyes and did not dare to look directly at the Head of Punishment.
“The vice-president of the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce who is all-powerful in the ocean, is this all he got? He doesn’t even dare to look his old friend in the eye?”
The Head of Punishment teased. When he heard that, Zhang Ying looked up in shock and disbelief.
Zhang Ying said in a trembling voice, “You are… the Head of Punishment? How is that possible? You are the God of the Nine Nether?”
The Head of Punishment said angrily, “What God of the Nine Nether? You can call me the Lord of Hell.”
The Lord of Hell…
Zhang Ying became even more nervous as he carefully recalled if he had offended the Head of Punishment when he was alive.
The Head of Punishment saw through his thoughts and said, “There’s no need to think too much. I just came to this position recently. On the account that we have known each other for a long time, are you willing to work for me and be my messenger?”
Recently, there had been more and more wandering souls and wild ghosts in the world. Hell had accepted a lot of them, but he still needed more manpower.
Zhang Ying asked in pleasant surprise, “Really?”
The Head of Punishment answered, “Yes.”
He raised his right hand and waved it at Zhang Ying. He gave Zhang Ying the power of karma and made him a ghost servant that could move freely in Hell. Zhang Ying only felt an indescribably powerful force enveloping him. It was extremely cold, but it made him feel comfortable.
“Eh? There’s something wrong with your soul.”
The Head of Punishment suddenly asked in surprise. Ever since he became the Lord of Hell, he had been comprehending the power of karma and his perception of the soul had deepened.
He could sense a strange power in Zhang Ying.
When Zhang Ying heard that, he immediately became nervous and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The Head of Punishment said, “It’s nothing. It won’t affect your position as a ghost servant.”
He was prepared to inform Jiang Changsheng of this matter. In any case, he could not see through it.
Zhang Ying mustered his courage and asked, “L-Lord of Hell, were you appointed by the Dao Ancestor?”
In his heart, the Dao Ancestor was an immortal in the human world, so he could naturally connect with immortal gods.
The Head of Punishment said, “To be accurate, this Hell belongs to the Dao
Ancestor.”
Zhang Ying widened his eyes in shock.
The Dao Ancestor had once again broken his understanding.
The Head of Punishment changed the topic and said, “Recently, there have been more and more souls of the dead. It seems like something big is about to happen between heaven and earth. Unfortunately, Hell cannot help the souls of the dead reincarnate.”
Zhang Ying was still in shock and could not come back to his senses.
He was thinking of a problem.
What kind of existence was the Dao Ancestor and what was his status among the immortals?
Hearing the thoughts of the Head of Punishment, Jiang Changsheng had a strange expression.
F*ck!
50,000 incense points were wasted.
Jiang Changsheng’s heart ached. At the same time, he wondered what kind of luck Zhang Ying had. Even 50,000 Incense points could not save mm.
He immediately extended his spiritual will into Hell and locked onto Zhang Ying.
He was an immortal cultivator, so his perception was sharper. He discovered that Zhang Ying’s soul did possess a mysterious power. To be precise, it was a mark. It was not his reincarnation mark, but another power. He could only sense its existence, but he could not erase it.
This was the first time he had encountered such power.
“I want to know the origin of the power in Zhang Ying’s body?”
“It involves the rules of heaven and earth. For the time being, the system is unable to calculate.”
The rules of heaven and earth?
Jiang Changsheng was even more puzzled. He immediately burrowed underground and came to Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying was receiving the Head of Punishment’s introduction to Hell when Jiang Changsheng suddenly appeared before him. He was so frightened that his soul trembled. Before he could speak, Jiang Changsheng cast the Phantom God’s Eye.
Zhang Ying was instantly in a trance.
The Head of Punishment watched this scene in silence and did not interrupt.
Jiang Changsheng was looking at Zhang Ying’s memories, mainly about his experience before he died, but he did not see any problems. This guy had come into contact with too many people, and he did not encounter anything strange before he died. He was just trampled into meat paste by a ferocious beast.
After a long time, Jiang Changsheng still could not find the reason and could only give up.
Jiang Changsheng calculated in his heart. “Will Zhang Ying endanger Hell?”
This involved the rules of heaven and earth, so he had to be careful. If there was any danger, he could only send Zhang Ying away. [Requires 5,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
It was not expensive.
50,000 incense points had been wasted. What was 5,000 incense points?
Continue!
Only then did Jiang Changsheng relax. It seemed like it was just a harmless mark. Perhaps it was because of it that Zhang Ying had died early. Moreover, he could awaken his memories from his previous life after dying twice. This could only be attributed to the rules of heaven and earth.
He would study it in the future.
Jiang Changsheng instructed the Head of Punishment, “Be careful with him.
That power is not simple.”
“Understood!”
The Head of Punishment answered and Jiang Changsheng disappeared.
Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng had just sat down when Bai Qi came over and asked, “So soon? Was it the Demon Supreme that died?” Ji Wujun, Huang Tian, and Hei Tian could not help but look at him.
Jiang Changsheng reached out and flicked her forehead. “Can’t I go out and keep watch? Why do I have to be so bloodthirsty?”
Bai Qi was in so much pain that tears were about to fall, but she had no choice but to flatter him with a grin.
Jiang Changsheng no longer paid any attention to Bai Qi and began to calculate the strongest experts around him.
Zhang Ying might have accidentally touched the rules of heaven and earth in the Great Wilderness, so he had to be vigilant.
He was not surprised that the strongest expert in the area had exceeded 3 billion incense points. There must be many terrifying existences hidden in the depths of the Great Wilderness.
The strongest expert in the endless ocean had a net worth of 1.5 billion incense points. It should be because Emperor Wu Ren and that sloppy old man’s strength had increased. If another Martial Emperor were to be resurrected, there would definitely be fluctuations in the luck of the human race.
“I still have to work hard to break through the natural laws of Daoism and become stronger. At the same time, I should comprehend the rules of the world as soon as possible.”
Jiang Changsheng silently thought. It had been 34 years since his last breakthrough, and the subsequent breakthroughs would take longer than his recent breakthrough. He could not relax and waste time.
It took 89 years for him to breakthrough last time. This time, it would take at least a hundred years. There was still a long way to go.
Mountains undulated, green mountains and rivers were magnificent. The sky was so blue and so high that the earth seemed boundless.
In a valley, Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, and Ping’an were roasting meat by a river. The meat they roasted was the claw of a ferocious beast that was fifteen feet long.
Lin Haotian was pressing a man down, and the man sat beside him with an awkward smile.
The man was wet all over, and he looked very similar to Lin Haotian. He was dressed exactly the same, but his eyes and nose were larger, making him look extremely strange.
“Yes, that’s more like it. At least we can distinguish between you and me.”
Lin Haotian smiled. He paused for a moment before he stared at the man and asked, “Ling Feng, right? Can all members of the spirit race transform at will?”
Ling Feng hastily answered, “Yes.”
Jiang Jian said, “After this guy transformed into a human, his aura also changed into that of a human. The spirit race cannot be underestimated. If he were to sneak into the human race, he could easily mess around.”
When Ling Feng heard that, he said in fear, “Our spirit race loves peace and is proactive at befriending intelligent races. It is impossible for us to do such a thing. I came out just to befriend you. I have no ill intentions.” He could not help but look at Jiang Jian.
Jiang Jian’s third eye made him even more curious about humans.
Lin Haotian asked, “Have any of your people gone to the human race?”
Ling Feng nodded and said, “The princess of our spirit race went to see the human race once. Moreover, she had established a good relationship with the
Emperor and became his concubine. She wrote back to us and said that the
Emperor of the human race knew her identity and was willing to accept her. She also hoped that the spirit race would help the Emperor find long-lived ferocious beasts and help him refine longevity pills. Precisely because of this, I thought our two races had a friendly relationship…”
The moment he said that, Jiang Jian frowned.
Lin Haotian had a strange expression on his face as he thought that the Emperor was really good at playing.
Ling Feng followed and said, “My tribe coincidentally discovered a ferocious beast that has lived for thirty thousand years. According to my tribe’s observation. it should still be in its growth period because we have seen larger creatures similar to it.. I wonder if you are willing to go and hunt it?”
