Chapter 645 - Interrogate
Old Man Six Paths and I are their servants?
Hearing this, Shi Buyi felt unhappy and he thought, I am the only servant to Master Zhong!
Old Man Six Paths on the other hand, remained calm and he did not flinch at all.
Meanwhile, the god leading the way was totally overwhelmed; he wanted to force Zhong Yue to be more humble, but in the end, not only did he end up suffering injuries, but he had lost face as well.
Though his eyes were very strong, they are still slightly weaker when compared to the Yin and Yang Qi, which was the specialty of the Innate Sun and Moon Spirit Body! How could he not lose to Zhong Yue when he decided to contend against Zhong Yue’s forte?
However, this god managed to turn away quickly, and with that, he managed to save himself from even more embarrassment.
“Humans, halt!”
Suddenly, there came a thunderous voice from the skies, and when Zhong Yue looked at the direction, he saw two demon Heavenly Deities looking down at them with cold gazes.
“Where is the Reverse Emperor, human!” One of the older heavenly demonic gods asked.
Curious and intrigued, Zhong Yue asked, “And you are?”
“We are the humble servants of our Master Reverse Emperor.”
“So, do you want to tell me his whereabouts? He is not someone you could meddle with?”
To his question, Zhong Yue removed his waistcloth, exposing the head of Reverse Emperor that carried a ferocious expression and the Yuan Shen of Reverse Emperor was charging everywhere in his head in attempts to escape from Zhong Yue’s seals.
Fear consumed the Qi Practitioners in front of Emerald Heaven Starry Palace immediately; the Reverse Emperor had been beheaded, and his head was hung on his enemy’s waist like a common item!
The Qi Practitioners in the Prison Realm were all ferocious individuals under the climate of the law of the jungle.
And the Reverse Emperor was one of the fiercest among all of them, but now, his head was hung on Zhong Yue’s waist, claimed by Zhong Yue as one of his trophies. This made Zhong Yue even fiercer than the others right away!
Such was the way of the Prison Realm; there were no good people in this place, only the evil or the more evil could win over the respect of the others; that was the way of survival.
“Release our master and I shall let you live.” The old heavenly god bargained.
Zhong Yue was left speechless. He laughed and said, “He is still alive now all because of the other seniors present back then that begged for my mercy. Are you trying to force me into killing him now?”
The expression on the face of the two heavenly demon changed slightly and they did not dare to act recklessly anymore.
Suddenly, a lady’s voice could be heard from Emerald Heaven Starry Palace saying, “Human, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated. You have crossed the line. Reverse Emperor was once a demonic emperor and how is he going to raise his head in front of the others anymore if you humiliate him like that?”
Zhong Yue raised his head, looked at the direction of Emerald Heaven Starry Palace and said, “It was not I who humiliated him, I was merely forced to by his servants. Speaking of humiliation, I will be humiliated if I release him just because his servants demanded it.”
The lady then said again, “Humiliating you? Fine, if that’s so, I will honor you by begging you to release him. What do you say, my friend?”
Zhong Yue suddenly realized something and asked the demonic god that was leading the way, “The one talking to me now is?”
“She is our beloved Emerald Heaven Dharma King.” The demonic king answered curtly.
Zhong Yue nodded and hurled the head of Reverse Emperor to the ground and said seriously, “Since the king has opened her mouth, I will release him. You are now free, Brother Reverse Emperor.”
Before his head fell onto the ground, Zhong Yue had already lifted the seals he created. With visible speed, flesh regrew back at the severed part of the head, and in no time, the Reverse Emperor had completely recovered his body. Such was the capabilities of the immortal body that even Zhong Yue had to admit that was superior to his own.
After completely recovering, the Reverse Emperor put up a grave face and looked at Zhong Yue emotionlessly.
The two heavenly demons of his, however, quickly stood by him on both sides, and after exchanging glances, they suddenly stepped forward and began advancing towards Zhong Yue.
At this time, there came the voice of Emerald Heaven Dharma King again, “Reverse Emperor, your humble king has begged for you, now, could you please save me some face?”
“Forgive me.” Reverse Emperor said as he bowed.
Emerald Heaven Dharma King laughed, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Realm Monarch had given us Left Fang Galaxy a total of ten slots for ten candidates to participate in the major event. One of the ten seats belongs to Reverse Emperor. If you could set aside your personal affairs for the time being until the event has ended and promise to represent us for the event, then please come into the courtyard for some discussion.”
Reverse Emperor nodded and without even looking at Zhong Yue, he entered the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
Bai Canghai on the other hand, murmured, “Brother Zhong, this dharma king called herself your king to you but she referred herself as your humble king to Reverse Emperor. She really is unfair.”
Zhong Yue. however, was not bothered by this as he also entered the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
After entering the courtyard, they saw countless individuals standing in the hall; at the outside were puny pawns, even if there were gods among these pawns, the gods often had little to no position; they were probably controlling one to two planets and some of them were even the mount or servants to some other higher ups.
The gods in the courtyard, however, were conquerors of the three thousand solar galaxies in the entire Left Fang Galaxy; each and everyone of them had a very high position or they wouldn't be qualified to enter Emerald Heaven Starry Palace!
Apart from them, what surprised Zhong Yue more was that Bi and An, Li Tianxing, Zhen Yao, Concubine Han and the others had their very own seats, which means that they too, had their own territories.
Reverse Emperor of course, had his own seat as well and he sat there emotionlessly.
Zhong Yue looked around and saw quite a few familiar faces; among them was the first demon god, Chan Dongyuan, who they ran into when they first arrived at this Six Path World.
However, the expression on the face of Chan Dongyuan was not very friendly and aside from him, some among the individuals present here today did not look so good when they saw Zhong Yue as well.
Back on the twin-stars, Zhong Yue’s stunning attack had struck awe into all those who witnessed it; his attack had wiped out everyone except for Li Tianxing and a few more. All the casualties of that attack were the disciples and students of demonic gods present here. It was no wonder they didn’t force any pretense of amiability to Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue then looked at the main seat where there sat an unusually elegant and dazzlingly brilliant lady with a majestic presence. She was dressed in a splendidly red dress and wore a golden flower belt on her waist and coloured ribbons floated at the back of her dress.
Her face, however, was blurred by the divine rays around her and there were five light wheels at the back of her head; although there were just five of them, there were many gods that sat in the light wheels and prayed toward this lady.
“Zhong Yue of the human race, it is my honor to be summoned by you, my king.” Zhong Yue greeted as he bowed.
Following up next were Jun Sixie, Bai Canghai and Qiu Jin’er as they greeted this lady and introduced themselves.
This lady was the Emerald Heaven Dharma King; she nodded and said, “Raise your head, Zhong Yue. Let me see your face, I want to see the person that killed my beloved son.”
Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin’er and the others’ hearts tightened up immediately upon her words but Zhong Yue boldly shown his face and said, “Please have a careful look, my king.”
Emerald Heaven Dharma King looked at him from head to toe and although she was a female, she had the presence far greater than a man and the atmosphere in Emerald Heaven Starry Palace tensed up; it was just like the calm before the catastrophic storm!
Zhong Yue remained calm and without flinching, he allowed her to stare into his eyes.
After a few moments, the king looked away, sighed and praised, “What a formidable young man.”
In the courtyard, the many gods present were confused and they did not hide their confusion.
“You killed my prince yet you had me restrain myself from killing you. I never thought someone like you would appear in the puny human race. Your name is now known in the other galaxies and even the Realm Monarch has heard of it. As such, if I move against you, I will definitely be punished by the monarch. Such calculations… you are indeed quite amazing.”
Suddenly, her tone became ferocious and she said, “But your origin is very suspicious! And this suspicion extends to those standing beside you now!”
Immense killing intent rose around her and she continued, “The living beings of our Prison Realm are all controlled by the book of life and death, which greatly reduced the number of Innate Spirit Bodies being born into this realm, let alone four at once! I suppose that if I killed someone from other Six Path Worlds, the monarch will have no complaints.”
She landed her vision firmly on Zhong Yue and if Zhong Yue flinched even for the slightest bit, he will be met with one of the boldest and swiftest strikes that will put him down right here on the spot to avenge the death of her heir!
Zhong Yue, however, did not move and only said, “We came from the Cold Spirit Planet, my king. If you do not believe me, you are always welcome to check.”
Immediately, Emerald Heaven Dharma King clapped her hands, summoned a servant demonic god and ordered, “Go, check the Scroll of Stars and see if there really is such a star called Cold Spirit Planet.”
The servant nodded and left before he returned quickly to report, “My king, there really is such a planet. There are quite a handy native living beings there but due to the extremely isolated location, there were barely any Qi Practitioners there.”
Surprised and caught off guard by the news, Emerald Heaven Dharma King said, “Is that so? Go, investigate that star to find out any records of them! If they once lived there, they will surely leave behind some trails.”
“Yes, my king,” said the servant before leaving again.
With a clap, the lady summoned another servant and ordered, “Go, bring my token and some other precious items and head into Hell. Check the book and see if you can find their names on the book.”
Zhong Yue remained calm still and he thought, Though I have altered the book, this Emerald Heaven Dharma King will still be able to expose me if she checks where I stayed in the Prison Realm, but in this period of time, Bi and An did not waste any chances too. They sought help from Granny Shan to search for an isolated planet, brought in some living beings from Bi An Precipe and created statues and temples of the lion and Old Man Six Paths. With that, if that servant goes to investigate that planet, they won’t find any evidence disproving my lies.
With the enormous strategical power of the Bi An brothers, it was extremely easy for them to fabricate a fake history for Zhong Yue and his companions.
Not long later, the servant headed towards Hell returned and reported, “My king, I’ve checked the book and they are indeed the people of our Prison Realm. I’ve made a copy of the book, please take a look at it.”
Emerald Heaven Dharma King took the book with the details and lies created by Zhong Yue written; it read that even Zhong Yue would ascend into a god in the future, he would die very young as his enemies sought revenge over him and after being reborn, a wretched and miserable fate would await him.
She smiled upon seeing this and when she looked at the readings of Jun Sixie and the others, she realized their fate was similar to Zhong Yue’s as well.
She felt even more relieved when she looked at Bai Canghai’s. His fate was also altered by Zhong Yue; although he would live a slightly better life than Zhong Yue and the others, he too, would not be able to achieve much.
After that, she ignited the copy made by the servant and said happily to Zhong Yue and the others, “Surprisingly, your fates are marvelous in the future. Since you are the people of our realm, I guarantee that I will not make any moves against you.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue and the others let out sighs of relief.
