Hell Emperor.

Chapter 304: Shura Jie - Assassination of the Palace Master
In the spacious hall, the resounding voice of the Golden Wheel Hall Master spread all around, and the meaning behind it also made Ye Jie's heart sink slightly:
"Everyone in the Golden Wheel Palace was taught by me. As the Palace Master, how can I turn a blind eye to their deaths? Those villains killed my disciples and humiliated me. I will definitely avenge them!"

At the end of his words, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Hall was filled with rage, and a strong power burst out from his whole body. His roar lingered in the empty hall for a long time, and spread in all directions, causing the ghosts outside the hall to unite against a common enemy and vow to avenge their dead disciples.

Ye Jie sighed. The thing he was most worried about had finally happened. He had no choice but to speak: "Then what about His Highness Moro's mission? Lord Jinlun, you might as well calm down. Everything should be based on the mission first..."

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace waved his hand and interrupted Ye Jie: "Don't worry, with my magical powers, I can easily deal with those thieves. I will never delay the task assigned by His Highness Moro. Just wait for me to capture those thieves, and then I can concentrate on the task."

After a pause, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace continued, "One of the thieves used an extraordinary skill that could turn the purple air from the horizon into her own use. This is truly extraordinary. But what she didn't know was that I happened to have discovered a magic weapon that could specifically restrain the purple air from the east in the ruins of the King Kong City, so I used her to try my hand! If anyone dares to hurt my disciple, I will refine her soul, put it into the Golden Wheel, and crush and reassemble her soul again and again, so that she will suffer eternal torture!"

Sensing the murderous intent from the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace, Ye Jie remained silent.

Even though the killing intent of the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was not directed at him, Ye Jie could clearly feel how fierce that killing intent was and that there was definitely no intention of turning back. No matter how he tried to persuade him, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace would not change his mind.

Ye Jie felt uneasy. With the strength of Xia Wei and others, they might not be able to deal with the long-famous Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace. The outcome would be terrible, which was undoubtedly something he did not want to see.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie seemed to have made up his mind and said, "If the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace wants to deal with those thieves, why would he go through so much trouble? I have a unique magic weapon. As long as I use the power of the magic weapon, I can easily suppress those thieves and make them surrender."

"There is such a magic weapon?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Wheel Palace Master was overjoyed, and the look he gave Ye Jie became more friendly: "Can you lend me that magic weapon?"

"Of course." Ye Jie nodded and stretched out his hand to shake hands in the distance.

Lin Hanyan, who was resting in the side hall, suddenly felt a strong pulling force.

Lin Hanyan seemed very familiar with that pulling force. It was the sign that the Dark Spirit Divine Art was being used, which was enough to transform her into a Dark Spirit magic weapon of a high level.

Knowing that Ye Jie was calling her, Lin Hanyan did not resist. Her figure dissipated gracefully and turned into countless fine light spots. The light spots wandered, dragging a series of golden silk threads in the air. The end of the silk threads was connected to Ye Jie's palm.

At the moment when the light condensed into shape, a golden rope also appeared in Ye Jie's hand.

"Is this... a magical weapon of the underworld?"

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace showed an expression of great interest, and could not help but sigh: "The Secret Art of the Underworld Spirit is the secret art of the Underworld Spirit Palace. Most people cannot learn it even if they want to. I did not expect that your attainments in the Secret Art of the Underworld Spirit are so profound. It is even stronger than what I felt from the ghost messengers of the Underworld Spirit Palace in the past..."

As he spoke, a hint of admiration appeared in the eyes of the Golden Wheel Palace Master.

If he had not known long ago that the Shura Jie in front of him came from the Demon Palace and was entrusted with an important mission by the Demon Palace Master, he might have thought that Ye Jie was actually a member of the Nether Spirit Palace.

He is able to use the Dark Spirit Divine Art to a level stronger than the ghost messengers of the Dark Spirit Palace. Even the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace is impressed by his strength.

Ye Jie raised the magic weapon in his hand and demonstrated it to the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace: "This is a fourth-grade magic weapon, the Vast Misty Rope. No matter how much I say about its power, it will not be as real as letting the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace experience it for himself."

As he spoke, Ye Jie raised the rope. The slender rope was like a golden snake, flying and dancing as he waved it, dazzling the eyes.

Ye Jie let out a low groan, and the rope swirled and twisted, like a nimble long whip, wrapping around the Master of the Golden Wheel Palace.

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace had no doubts. Ye Jie said that he would lend him the magic weapon and let him try the power of the magic weapon. Of course, he was very happy to do so. The power of a fourth-grade magic weapon is second only to a real divine weapon. Even in the hands of an immortal, it is still a rare item. With this magic weapon, those thieves will never be able to escape.

In just a moment, the rope tightly wrapped around the body of the Golden Wheel Palace Master. Taking this opportunity, the Golden Wheel Palace Master could also carefully feel the power of the Misty Waves Vast Rope:
"Hmm... this binding force is really impressive. An ordinary second-level immortal would be unable to move under the restraint of the magic weapon, but at the third-level realm, he can barely resist. A half golden circle appears on the outermost circle of the rope, and it is constantly filling up towards a full circle. Once the full circle is formed, it can seal the immortal energy in the enemy's body. It is a good method..."

Just as the Golden Wheel Palace Master was thinking, the golden ring around the rope was completely formed, and the entire rope suddenly tightened. The immortal energy in the Golden Wheel Palace Master disappeared, and he seemed to be a little out of breath. He said to Ye Jie: "This magic weapon is really extraordinary. I have already felt its power. Quickly release it!"

The only one who answered the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was Ye Jie's murderous roar: "Divine Dragon Transformation - Claw of the Azure Dragon!"

The sudden burst of murderous intent caused the Golden Wheel Palace Master's pupils to shrink and the smile on his face completely froze.

But behind Ye Jie, a huge green dragon shadow suddenly appeared. The green dragon coiled its body into a ball, and its sharp eyes stared straight at the Master of the Golden Wheel Palace. With a loud dragon roar, Ye Jie swung his sword with force, and four extremely sharp green rays of light shot past. The strong murderous intent contained in them even frightened the Master of the Golden Wheel Palace.

The Golden Wheel Palace Master tried to escape by leaping forward, but he was restrained by the misty rope and could not move. He could only watch the fierce light approaching. A sense of fatal threat also emerged in the Golden Wheel Palace Master's heart.

A sharp light was approaching, and there was a crackling sound. The body of the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace suddenly broke apart, and the immortal energy in his body was completely out of control and surged in all directions, which seemed to mean the death of the immortal.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Ye Jie breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could catch his breath, the scene before him made his heart sink again.

However, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace, who had just been torn apart, seemed to be pulled together by some force and his body was rapidly reunited. Not only that, his body was completely restored to its original state without even the slightest injury left, as if everything that had just happened was just Ye Jie's illusion.

"What kind of skill is this..."

Ye Jie's pupils shrank, he couldn't believe what he saw. He had finally let the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace let down his guard and found a perfect opportunity, but in the end, there was no effect. The Claw of the Azure Dragon had clearly hit the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace head-on. This result was enough to make anyone depressed.

The face of the Golden Wheel Palace Master was ashen. When his body broke apart, the Misty Rope also fell down, unable to restrain his body any more. When he looked at Ye Jie, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Why did you do this? I treated you with courtesy, why did you want to kill me?" Ye Jie was silent for a moment. He didn't want the Golden Wheel Palace Master to see the relationship between him and Xia Wei, so he said: "How do you know that it was me who wanted to kill you, and not His Highness Moro?"

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace immediately waved his hands and said, "Impossible! I am loyal to Her Majesty Moro, she will definitely not take my life. Besides, if Her Majesty Moro really asked you to kill me, why would she not even tell you the effect of the One Thought Wheel?"

"One thought turns the wheel?"

The words Ye Jie heard from the mouth of the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace made him pay more attention. If he guessed correctly, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was able to escape death by relying on the so-called One Thought Wheel.

Although he didn't know the effect of the One Thought Wheel, the current situation was undoubtedly very unfavorable to Ye Jie. As the master of a hall, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Hall would certainly not be killed so easily by ambush.

"What's your reason for killing me? Give me a reason!"

Seeing that Ye Jie did not answer, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace shouted loudly, with a hint of anxiety in his words.

What the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace fears most is being ruthlessly abandoned by the Lord of the Mara Palace. Ye Jie's words are ambiguous, and the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace has no idea of ​​his true purpose. He also doesn't know whether this assassination was Ye Jie's own idea or the Lord of the Mara Palace's idea. No matter what, he must get to the bottom of it and ask him for clarification.

Ye Jie took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "You were distracted during the mission and focused on other things, which increased the risk of my exposure. In order to complete His Highness Moro's mission, I must eliminate all unfavorable hidden dangers, and that hidden danger is you."

Hearing this, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace took a deep breath. He didn't expect that Ye Jie wanted to kill him for this reason.

If an ordinary person gave this excuse, the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace might think it was absurd and would not believe that someone would attack the Yama King of the First Palace without any explanation for such a ridiculous reason.

However, if Shura from the Mara Palace said this, the situation would be different.

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace had no doubt about Ye Jie's reasons. He would really turn against him and attack him in order to eliminate the hidden dangers in the mission. If he had not had the Wheel of Thoughts to protect him, he would have been caught off guard and would have been completely killed.

The so-called Shura is so cold-blooded and ruthless. He only knows how to carry out the tasks assigned by the Lord of the Mara Palace without any hesitation. He will really want to kill himself for this reason.

In addition, Ye Jie’s strength also made the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace secretly shocked.

Ye Jie's current cultivation level naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the Golden Wheel Palace Master. Although on the surface, Ye Jie's realm was only at the peak of the fifth level, and it seemed that he had used elixirs to forcibly raise his level, his aura was erratic and unstable, and he was not at all comparable to those who had cultivated to this level through years of accumulation and polishing, but when he used all his strength, his true strength shocked even the Golden Wheel Palace Master.

Ye Jie's full-strength attack was enough to break through the Golden Wheel Palace Master's protective immortal energy, causing him to completely lose his soul.

This discovery made the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace secretly shocked. Ye Jie's true strength was probably the same as his, and he had reached the level of a fourth-level immortal.

Now the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace finally understood why His Highness Moro sent Ye Jie to carry out the assassination mission. This strength was seriously inconsistent with his apparent realm, and his determination to take action as soon as he saw the opportunity made him the best choice to assassinate the Lord of the Witch God Palace.

On the side, Ye Jie naturally had no idea what the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was thinking, and was still upset about his momentary failure. He did not expect that the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace actually mastered such a strange self-defense technique.

The real purpose of Ye Jie's attack on the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace at this time is something that the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace will probably never guess.

Judging from what the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace just said, he seemed to want to take action against Xia Wei and her group before the mission began. With the Palace Lord's strength, it would be no problem for him to suppress Xia Wei and the others.

There is no doubt that what the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace did was something Ye Jie could not tolerate. Knowing that his disciples were in trouble, and they had to face off against the incredibly powerful Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace, Ye Jie could not sit idly by.

In this case, Ye Jie also made a decision. He had to kill the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace before he could take action to protect the safety of the rest of his family.

Out of protection for his disciple, Ye Jie took action without hesitation, but the final result really disappointed him. The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was worthy of being the Lord of a palace. His various skills were enough to turn decay into magic. Now that one of his moves failed, Ye Jie was put in a passive position.

The Golden Wheel Palace Master spoke slowly, "Since it's for the mission, there's nothing I can do. I must avenge my disciples. Their deaths will never be in vain. No matter how much you try to stop me, I won't change my mind."

"It seems that there is no choice. In this case, let's speak with strength."

Ye Jie shook his head. The leader of the Golden Wheel Palace wanted to avenge his disciples, and Ye Jie also wanted to protect his own disciples. This battle was inevitable. Only the final winner would be qualified to achieve his goal.

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace stared at Ye Jie for a long while, then spoke again: "But you can rest assured, even if I kill you, I will definitely complete the task assigned by His Highness Moro. Even if I am the only one left at that time, I will still go and assassinate the Lord of the Witch God Palace."

"That's what I mean too."

Ye Jie's eyes darkened and he prepared for battle.

After the Divine Dragon Transformation and with the blessing of the seven stitching pages, Ye Jie's strength is no longer what it used to be. Even when facing the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace, he has no fear in his heart. Not to mention, this battle is to protect his disciples from harm, so he has no reason to retreat.

The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace stared at Ye Jie with a solemn look. He also felt a bit of respect for the envoy sent by the Demon Palace. He regarded Ye Jie as an opponent of the same level as himself. However, due to their different philosophies on how to deal with the mission, the two of them must compete with each other, and even decide life and death, before this battle can end.
