Chapter 359 Gods will compromise in the face of interests

"Your people?" The King of Hell's confident expression suddenly changed, unable to conceal his surprise, "Si Ming is your people?"

The King of Hell frowned. He no longer avoided the question and stared straight at the person in front of him. From Pei Enze's face, the King of Hell saw his greatest support. He decided not to please him blindly. "I don't know anything. I have always just followed the orders of the Lord of Heaven. Please understand, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Pei Enze curled the corners of his lips. It was not difficult to see that this King of Hell was a person who would pass on the blame. The curling of his lips was fleeting, and Pei Enze's face was still as cold and noble as usual. "Why are you so anxious? When did I say I would punish you?"

Hearing this, the King of Hell let down his guard a little. He cupped his hands and asked, "Then I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here so late at night?"

"Urgent." After saying that, Pei Enze raised his hand and waved. Tens of thousands of souls instantly filled the King of Hell's bedroom. It is worth mentioning that the pupils of these souls were all out of focus. They floated in the King of Hell's bedroom with expressionless faces, swaying from time to time, as if to show their existence.

"This... what is this?" Looking at his crowded bedroom, the King of Hell widened his eyes. In the five hundred years he has been in charge of the underworld, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

"Don't you recognize them?" Pei Enze kindly explained, "They are the wronged souls trapped in Fuxing City, constantly mining."

No matter how many there are, they are just the souls of mortals. Thinking of this, the King of Hell calmed down a lot and made a plan in his mind, "Your Highness, bring them all here, but what happened in Fuxing City?"

"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you."

The King of Hell raised his head and waited quietly for Pei Enze's next words. He intuitively felt that this matter was very important.

A gust of wind blew, the moon was covered by clouds, the candlelight in the bedroom went out, and Pei Enze's face was shrouded in shadow. "You must remember that from now on, there will be no Fuxing City."

"What?" The candle in the bedroom went out for only a moment and then relit, but the King of Hell seemed not to notice the flickering of the candle. Or maybe he noticed it but didn't care. Pei Enze's words obviously had a huge impact on him, and he stood there in a daze.

"Why?" The King of Hell had a sad face and said in confusion: "This doesn't make sense at all. There are huge benefits hidden in Fuxing City. How could the Lord of Heaven give it up? Unless..."

Thinking of something, the King of Hell's expression became even uglier. He said in a trembling voice: "Unless the existence of Fuxing City is discovered, the Emperor will have to destroy the body and all traces." Other than that, the King of Hell really couldn't think of any reason why Pei Yan would give up Fuxing City.

There is no one who is not tempted by gold. In the face of huge benefits, even gods will compromise. Looking at his bedroom filled with souls, the King of Hell does not feel the slightest bit of guilt even though these souls have dazed expressions and have done hard labor for who knows how many years.

The King of Hell was afraid that he would be implicated, and he was panicking. If, as he thought, the existence of Fuxing City was discovered, the Emperor of Heaven would have to destroy Fuxing City. Then, the next person the Emperor of Heaven would deal with would most likely be himself, who knew the truth about Fuxing City.

The King of Hell was covered in cold sweat, with beads of sweat dripping uncontrollably from his forehead. The Emperor of Heaven had ruled the Celestial Clan for so many years, and although he always looked gentle, he knew how ruthless he was. He also knew that he had always believed in a principle - only the dead could keep secrets.

Seeing the King of Hell's panic, Pei Enze sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He just asked the King of Hell with a slightly puzzled tone in an impatient tone: "What's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, don't worry. I am very tight-lipped. I will not say anything that I should not. Even if the affairs of Fuxing City are exposed one day, I will take everything on myself and will never mention the Heavenly Emperor... No, I will not mention the word Heavenly Clan." The King of Hell did not listen to what Pei Enze said at all. He just lay on the ground to show his sincerity. He did not even dare to look up, for fear of meeting Pei Enze's indifferent eyes and announcing his death in a cold tone.

Pei Enze curled his lips and asked knowingly: "Yan Wang, what are you afraid of?"

"What are you afraid of..." How could the King of Hell say what he was thinking? He could only smile and reply, "Your Highness, I'm not afraid of anything."

"That's right." The King of Hell suddenly had an idea and added hastily, "If I must say what I'm afraid of, I'm afraid that you and the Emperor of Heaven won't see my sincerity."

The King of Hell looks like a complete lackey, which makes people despise him.

"Sincerity?" Pei Enze repeated, and said meaningfully: "Things without a specific appearance are invisible. You need to show it so that I can feel it."

The King of Hell carefully looked at Pei Enze's expression, and after seeing that he did not have any deception on his face, he asked cautiously: "Then according to your Highness the Crown Prince, how should I behave?"

Pei Enze didn't say anything, but just raised his chin slightly.

Seeing the prince raising his chin as if to give him guidance, although the King of Hell was puzzled, he still turned his head and looked in the direction Pei Enze pointed, but all he saw was a sea of ​​souls. After turning his head frantically, the King of Hell asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you want me to deal with these souls?" The more the King of Hell spoke, the more certain he became of his guess. There must be a reason why the prince took the trouble to bring so many souls to find him.

If the prince wanted to make these souls disappear completely, he could do it with just a flick of his finger. There was no need for them to come to him specially. The King of Hell observed Pei Enze's expression and spoke one word after another until they formed a complete sentence. "Don't worry, Your Highness. After they drink Mengpo soup and enter reincarnation, they will forget everything about their previous lives. They will never remember the three words "Fuxing City" again. After they reincarnate three times, the memories of this life will completely dissipate in the world. Even the most powerful magic will not be able to bring back their memories."

Pei Enze nodded, agreeing with Yan Wang's words, "That's very good."

The King of Hell's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, and he smiled and said, "As long as Your Highness is satisfied." The King of Hell's smile at this time was more sincere.

"Don't worry, the only people in the Three Realms who know about Fuxing City are our own people." Pei Enze gave Yan Wang a dose of reassurance, "As long as you don't tell anyone, the sentient beings in the Three Realms will never know that there was a Fuxing City in the Three Realms."

"I won't tell you, I won't tell you, of course I won't tell you." Yan Wang repeatedly assured, even covering his mouth pretentiously, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, after today, I will forget everything about Fuxing City."

"You are a sensible person, no wonder he chose you." Pei Enze said.

"Him?" Pei Enze asked without any context. The King of Hell was confused. He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Pei Enze was talking about. Pei Enze ignored the King of Hell's confusion and turned his gaze to a random soul in the palace. "They have suffered so much, but they can't express their suffering. Although the world has to be kept in the dark, at least some compensation should be given to these suffering people."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's kindness and compassion are truly evident to all!" The King of Hell would not miss any opportunity to flatter someone, and he echoed, "They should be given some compensation."

Then, the King of Hell asked Pei Enze: "Your Highness, please give me some advice on how to compensate them?"

"You do not know?"

"I... I... I should know." The King of Hell mistakenly thought that this was a test from Pei Enze and could not even contain his inner excitement. If he could accomplish this task well and catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the throne of Heavenly Emperor in the future, wouldn't his career be able to move to a higher level?

Feeling that the King of Hell's gaze towards him was gradually becoming hotter, Pei Enze frowned unhappily and urged: "Since you know, why don't you tell me quickly?"

Thinking of the prince's compassion, the King of Hell said as he wished: "Since they have suffered so much in this life, let them suffer less in the next life." After a pause, as if afraid that Pei Enze would be dissatisfied, the King of Hell added: "Your Highness also knows that all living beings suffer. No matter how powerful their magic is or how noble their status is, they can never escape this law."

"That's right. All living things suffer, and no one can escape." The dimness in Pei Enze's eyes disappeared in an instant, "However, since it is compensation, there must be something practical, something that can be seen and touched."

Listening to Pei Enze's description, almost instantly, something that fits all the descriptions appeared in Yan Wang's mind - money. In the world, although money cannot solve all suffering, it cannot be denied that money can solve most suffering.

During the years of participating in the affairs of Fuxing City, the King of Hell had more or less embezzled some gold. It would be best if this gold could be used to solve the current problem. The King of Hell thought about his small treasury with some pain and decided: "In the human world, money can solve most problems. Your Highness, I have some gold here. It would be best to use it to compensate them."

"Really?" Pei Enze was a little surprised. He thought it would take some effort to get the King of Hell to give him the gold, but he didn't expect the King of Hell to be so self-conscious. "Why don't you show me the amount?"

The King of Hell originally thought that if Pei Enze just nodded his head in agreement, he would not care about this matter anymore. How could he let him see the amount of gold and know that he had paid so much? If Pei Enze didn't see it, wouldn't all the gold he paid be wasted? At this time, Pei Enze took the initiative to bring it up, which solved the King of Hell's dilemma. The King of Hell nodded quickly, cast a spell and formed a seal to show all the gold he had in front of Pei Enze without keeping any.

The King of Hell looked at Pei Enze with hope. He was confident that what awaited him next would be the praise from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The King of Hell's bedroom became even more crowded. If souls had not been immaterial, the bedroom would have burst with all this gold.

The golden light in the hall was so dazzling that Pei Enze raised his hand to block the golden light. The gold in the hall surprised Pei Enze, "Without reservation?"

"Without reservation!" With a certain confidence in his heart, the King of Hell's voice became louder.

Pei Enze nodded slightly, "I see your sincerity."

Yan Wang's face was full of smiles, and he was expecting Pei Enze's next compliment. Unexpectedly, Pei Enze changed the subject, and his tone was full of regret, "It's just that this number doesn't seem to be enough."

"No...isn't it enough?" The smile on Yan Wang's face froze in an instant. Pei Enze's answer was beyond Yan Wang's expectations, and he didn't know how to respond.

"Of course it's not enough." Pei Enze explained: "Although there is a lot of gold in this palace, there are even more souls in the palace. If it is divided equally, this little gold will not allow them to live a rich life for the rest of their lives."

"Then...what should I do?" The King of Hell never thought that he would be short of money one day. He rubbed his hands and said timidly: "This palace is all I can take out."

"I never do anything without confidence. Since I can bring it up, I am prepared." Pei Enze looked around the bedroom and ordered the King of Hell, "Follow me out."

"Yes." The King of Hell got up from the ground resignedly, thinking about where he could get some more money. He lowered his head and walked out of the hall dejectedly. When he looked up again, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"This... this... this..." The King of Hell's outstretched hands were trembling. He stuttered and finally said a complete sentence, "So much gold!"

In the direction that the King of Hell pointed his finger was a small hill made of gold. This hill was piled in his yard. He had never seen this hill before today. It was obvious that this mountain of gold was brought by Pei Enze.

Seeing the King of Hell's surprise, Pei Enze kindly explained: "This is the gold I brought out from Fuxing City before it was destroyed." In fact, this gold was given to him by Yi Changle, who told him to use it all to compensate the souls, but now is obviously not a good time to mention Yi Changle.

"All the gold, whether it is inside or outside the palace, you must find a way to use it all..." Pei Enze pointed at the floating souls and told the King of Hell: "The amount on them should be enough for them to have no worries for three lifetimes."

"Yes." The King of Hell agreed promptly.

Pei Enze snorted and promised: "Since you are my father's man, you should understand that if things are done well, the benefits will be yours."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best to satisfy you."

Pei Enze smiled, and the spiritual power in the air in front of him gathered, slowly forming a yellow talisman, "When everything is done, burn this talisman and inform me. Remember, no one else can know about this except you and me."

"I will remember this." Yan Wang changed his address, hoping to gain favor from Pei Enze, but before he could finish his words, the man in front of him disappeared.

The King of Hell opened his palm and found a yellow talisman on it. He murmured, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince looks cold, but he has a compassionate heart. He is completely opposite to the hypocritical Heavenly Monarch. If the Heavenly Clan is handed over to him in the future, I'm afraid there will be a big change."
