Chapter 382 How did you guess it?
After pacifying Chu Tongxuan, Xu Zhenfeng turned to Xiong Dadao, who was still looking dissatisfied and resentful:
"Your idea is good. Since you came up with it, why don't you go around the city and bring back a few ghosts? Let's try it out tonight."
Xiong Da always listened to Xu Zhenfeng, and immediately walked out after hearing what he said.
Just as he reached the door, he turned around and asked, "Didn't they say that You Xiong would steal one day and rest the next? He just stole once last night, so why would he try tonight?"
Xu Zhenfeng rolled his eyes at him. "He was able to chase you here and steal all your magic weapons. I'm afraid the previous rules are no longer applicable."
When it came to this, Xiong Da became filled with anger. He stopped asking questions, left the yard, and went to the city to look for ghosts by himself.
Chu Tongxuan had something on his mind. When he saw Xiong Da leave, he said to Xu Zhenfeng with a worried look on his face:
“Master Xu, the affairs of the underworld will probably require the help of you demons and humans. If His Majesty the King of Hell really becomes a demon, the whole world will be in chaos.
Think about it, Lord Yan is the lord of the underworld. If he becomes a demon, no matter how many ghosts there are in the underworld, they will not be able to withstand being devoured by the entire demon clan.
At that time, when anyone, whether an ordinary person or a cultivator, dies, their soul will be immediately fed to the demons as soon as it reaches the underworld.
From now on, without souls reincarnating, the human race will become fewer and fewer until it becomes extinct, and then it will be the turn of you, the demon race.
Without the souls of humans to devour, the demons would naturally come up with the idea of devouring the souls of monsters to practice.
"Oh? Then how can the demons and humans help the underworld?"
Xu Zhenfeng glanced at Chu Tongxuan indifferently, sat aside and slowly sipped his tea and asked him.
Chu Tongxuan quickly stepped forward and said, "My idea is this: we invite the great demons of the demon race and the great cultivators of the human race to come to His Majesty King Yan's Eternal Night City and force His Majesty King Yan to come out and meet us.
With the presence of great demons and great monks, they can tell at a glance whether King Yama is a ghost or a demon. If His Majesty King Yama is really possessed by a demon, then everyone will kill him together.
This not only prevented the underworld from becoming a place for demons, but also helped all living beings in the world avoid a catastrophe."
After hearing what Chu Tongxuan said, Xu Zhenfeng slowly turned the teacup in his hand and played with it.
“Chu Da Yinsi, when you posted the bounty in the Demon-Slaying Tower, your original intention was to find someone who had a high status among the human cultivators, right?
You want a human cultivator to personally go to the Naihe Bridge in the underworld to watch a play, a play that you, or "you" have prepared long ago.
So, the demonic monster that plotted against you on the Yin-Yang Road you opened up was just a show for me, right?"
Chu Tongxuan didn't expect Xu Zhenfeng to suddenly ask such an incredible question.
He opened his ghostly eyes wide and looked at Xu Zhenfeng, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Why would Master Xu ask this? How...how is this possible?"
"I guess the ghost emperor of the underworld must have rebelled. Has His Majesty the King of Hell been controlled by the rebels?"
As soon as Xu Zhenfeng finished speaking, Chu Tongxuan's eyes opened wider.
"you......"
"You... Why do you say that, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Zhenfeng continued to play with the teacup while he continued slowly, "The Great Underworld of Chu once said that the Eastern Ghost Emperor was ambushed in the Cold Ghost Realm and would never go to the Eternal Night City of the Lord of Hell again.
That means the Eastern Ghost Emperor did not participate in the rebellion, but one of the other four Ghost Emperors, or all four Ghost Emperors, did the rebellion, right?"
At this moment, the expression on Chu Tongxuan's face changed from gloomy to bright, which was very exciting.
"You originally wanted to seek help from the human race, and you should have prepared a scene of monsters wreaking havoc in the underworld, and performed it on the Naihe Bridge for a certain human cultivator to watch, but you didn't expect that I was the one who accepted the bounty.
Because I am a demon, the play you prepared on the Naihe Bridge may be seen through by me, so you planned to let me teach your descendants the magic.
Then I went to the Yin-Yang Road that you opened up, and saw with my own eyes that the demonized Great Underworld was plotting against you, the leader of the Eight Underworlds.
If we bring up the fact that Lord Yama may have turned into a demon, since this is something that concerns Lord Yama, neither the human race nor the demon race will stand by and watch.
In fact, there is just a big ghost rebelling in the underworld, and it is very likely that King Yan is controlled by the rebellious big ghost, so you can't see him.
Your strength should not be much different from that of the rebels. You may not win by force, and it may even cost His Majesty the King of Hell his life.
You want to seek help from humans, but you are afraid that after humans know about this, not only will they not help, but they will sit and wait for you in the underworld to fight among yourselves, and maybe even add fuel to the fire.
So you might as well make things bigger so that the human race will be forced to help as soon as possible.
Well, the Lord of the Underworld has become a demon, this is a big enough event."
After Xu Zhenfeng finished speaking, he looked at Chu Tongxuan and saw that he could no longer speak.
“Although the sudden appearance of a demon like me was beyond your expectations, the human race will believe my words more.
By then, maybe we can even bring in the demons to help you solve this rebellion in the underworld, am I right? "Chu Da Yinsi?"
Chu Tongxuan's expression suddenly became dejected, and he slowly sat back in his seat.
After lowering his head and being silent for a while, he asked faintly, "Master Xu, I think I didn't reveal any flaws. How did you guess it?"
"No flaws? Not necessarily?"
Xu Zhenfeng looked at the dejected Chu Tongxuan, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, saying:
“Just as you said, Great Chu Yinsi, the life and death books of more than a dozen generations of your descendants have been changed.
Only the left and right judges and His Majesty the King of Hell can do such a thing.
But even if it was done by His Majesty the Lord of Hell himself, you can't possibly know it by now, right? You are the head of the Eight Underworlds. "
"If you knew it long ago, why did you think of remedying it now? What were you doing for the past few hundred years?
Also, if all the unusual things that you mentioned that have happened in the underworld in recent years were all done by demons, then your underworld is now owned by the demons.
I believe there are demons lurking in the underworld who are trying to secretly become demons, or are looking for an opportunity to devour your ghosts.
But I don’t believe that the demons in the underworld can be so reckless and kill the famous ghosts in your underworld.”
