Chapter 384: Lord Yan's Face
After hearing Chu Tongxuan's flattering words, Xu Zhenfeng felt a little proud.
He spoke a few words modestly with a hint of reserve.
Then he changed the subject and said, "Chu Da Yinsi now wants the human race and the demon race to lift the siege of Evernight City and help Lord Yan eliminate the rebellion."
Chu Tongxuan nodded.
“But now the four ghost emperors of the underworld have all joined the rebellion, and nine ghost kings are following them.
Besides the remaining nine ghost kings, are there any other forces on your side that are still loyal to Lord Yan?"
Chu Tongxuan hurriedly said: "The only ones who rebelled were the four Ghost Emperors and the ghosts under the command of the Ghost Kings, who together led tens of millions of ghost troops.
Aside from the nine ghost kings in the upper nine halls of the Eighteen Yama Halls, all other offices in the underworld, including our Great Underworld Office and the offices under the jurisdiction of the left and right judges, are loyal to Your Majesty."
Xu Zhenfeng said with some teeth aching: "You only have nine ghost kings and their ghost armies, and the rest are civilian offices with weak military power.
Although your underworld office is in charge of the underworld ghosts, your combat power is certainly not comparable to that of the ghost army.
To be honest, the gap between your strength and that of the rebels is quite big?
If it weren't for the fact that the current Lord of Hell was still struggling to hold on, your underworld would have probably changed its Lord of Hell by now, right?"
Chu Tongxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xu is right. Eternal Night City has been under siege for more than half a year. If it weren't for your Majesty's refusal to hand over the King of Hell's Seal, who knows which ghost emperor is in charge of the underworld now?"
"Can't the ghost emperors kill Lord Yan and forcibly remove Lord Yan's seal from his ghost body?"
“That won’t work. Unless Lord Yama is willing, no one can remove Lord Yama’s Seal from his ghost body.
They did not dare to kill Lord Yama either. Before the time for reincarnation, Lord Yama would either become a god or directly ascend to the upper realm.
Any accident may cause the barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds to collapse.
By then, ghosts will walk on human paths, and humans will walk on ghost paths, and heaven and earth will be in chaos."
Xu Zhenfeng was puzzled again.
"How could Lord Yan voluntarily take out Lord Yan's Dark Seal?"
Chu Tongxuan said helplessly: "Master Xu, we are in the underworld, the Eighteen Hells, with all kinds of tortures. Many souls can't bear it in less than three days, and they can't even beg for their souls to fly away.
By that time, I will want to die, so what will the Hell Seal be of any use to me? "
Xu Zhenfeng nodded slightly. Chu Tongxuan said that the four ghost emperors have been besieging the Eternal Night City for more than half a year. That King of Hell is really enduring.
In Xu Zhenfeng's heart, he was willing to help the underworld and did not want the human race to take advantage of the opportunity to control the underworld.
The human race is now being forced by the demons, so they are thinking about signing a new alliance with the monsters.
Once the threat of the demons is resolved and the human race becomes stronger, the demons will inevitably be imprisoned by the human race again.
If the human race were to take control of the underworld, they would decide where every reincarnated cultivator would be reborn, and whether their memories of their previous lives would be erased or not.
Then all the monks who have reincarnated can carry with them the memories of their previous lives, and even the cultivation of their previous lives, and be reborn again to continue their cultivation of their previous lives.
It even directly changes the Book of Life and Death, extending one's lifespan indefinitely.
Xu Zhenfeng couldn’t imagine how powerful such a human race would be.
When that time really comes, it will be a luxury for the demon clan to be trapped in the Demon Mountain.
The underworld cannot be in chaos, especially now, when the war between humans and demons is imminent, and a large number of cultivators' souls will go to the underworld.
This is also a good time for the underworld to develop its strength. The souls of cultivators who go to the underworld can be used by the underworld.
The underworld can also promise conditions to allow the souls of some powerful cultivators to stay in the underworld to serve as officials and become part of the underworld.
In fact, in his heart, he vaguely felt that this rebellion of the four ghost emperors of the underworld might be related to the human race.
But he didn't dare say this carelessly. Once it got out, the war between the underworld and humans might have begun before the war between humans and demons even started.
If it really develops to that point, it will really make the demons laugh out loud.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenfeng had already made up his mind that the demon clan must help the underworld.
It’s just that the underworld is afraid of the human race, but it is even more afraid of the demon race. The souls of the demon race do not leave the underworld, and they have no weaknesses that can be exploited by the underworld.
Once the demons control the underworld, there will only be demons in this world.
Shedding a tear of sympathy for the underworld, Xu Zhenfeng felt that it was not easy for the underworld to be sandwiched between humans, demons and monsters.
Chu Tongxuan wanted the human and demon races to work together to help the underworld overcome this crisis, and he also wanted the human and demon races to hold each other hostage.
However, the rebels in the underworld are too powerful. If the human and demon races want to help the underworld, they will have to pay a corresponding price.
What's more, for the human race and the demon race, whoever sits on the position of King Yama in the underworld doesn't matter.
As long as the new King of Hell does not harm the interests of the human and demon races, it is none of their business who becomes the King of Hell.
Maybe we can negotiate with the rebels and put forward some demands in exchange for their non-interference.
And the rebels will definitely agree to it in order to achieve their goals.
It seems that the demon clan not only has to help, but also has to intervene in this matter as soon as possible. They cannot let the human race gain benefits that will be detrimental to the Demon Mountain during the rebellion in the underworld.
Xu Zhenfeng said to Chu Tongxuan: "How about this, you report this matter directly to His Majesty the Demon King, and ask His Majesty the Demon King to send troops to help you put down the rebellion.
I will find a way to get the wolf chief to persuade the demon king to send troops as soon as possible.
As for the human race, you can directly tell them that the demon race is ready to send troops to help. It is up to them whether they are willing to send troops or when to send troops. "
Chu Tongxuan was stunned for a moment.
He had been planning for so long just to make the rebellion in the underworld as minor as possible, if only he could just ask the human and demon races for help directly.
Why did he put on so much drama before and want the demons to take the blame?
There was a rebellion in the underworld and the King of Hell has been trapped there for half a year. Maybe he is being tortured every day now.
Such a matter concerns the reputation of Lord Yama. Can it be made known to everyone?
"Master Xu, can you just say that the demons have invaded the underworld, and Evernight City is under siege, and ask the humans and demons to send troops to help?"
Xu Zhenfeng looked at Chu Tongxuan. It was only after he became a monster that he realized how much the human race values face. Even after becoming a ghost, he could not change this bad habit.
"Aren't you worried that when the monks and monsters waiting for assistance arrive at Evernight City, they will find out that it's not the demons that are causing the rebellion, but your underworld. If everyone gives up, what will you do?"
Chu Tongxuan said with a bitter face: "Lord Yan cannot lose face, now we can only take it one step at a time."
He and the left and right judges had already discussed that as long as the human and demon tribes approached the city of Eternal Night, the four ghost emperors would have to come out to face them.
Although the four ghost emperors have besieged the Eternal Night City, they have not yet completely taken control of it?
There are still ghosts loyal to the King of Hell lurking in the City of Eternal Night.
By then, they could take advantage of the chaos to rescue Lord Yan.
Lord Yama is the most powerful ghost in the underworld.
Chu Tongxuan and the judges on both sides believed that the four ghost emperors must have used some unconventional methods to attack and control Lord Yama when he was not prepared.
As long as we can rescue King Yan, release the control over him and restore his ghost power.
Then Lord Yan will surely be able to lead them to quell the rebellion.
