Hell Emperor.

Chapter 316: Shura Jie - The Power of Yama
In front of many people, Ye Jie slowly recited the information that appeared on the seven stitched pages.

"Li Shaoxing was born in a wealthy family in the summer of the 614th year of the Moro calendar."

"In the spring of the 623rd year of the Moro calendar, I encountered an ant nest on the road and watered it with boiling water. I was deducted ten merits."

"In the autumn of the 629th year of the Mahārā calendar, she was selected to enter the palace because of her outstanding beauty. In the spring of the following year, she became the consort of the King of Goguryeo. She served the king and gained 30,000 merits."

"In the winter of the 630th year of the Moro calendar, a maid accidentally spilled some wine, soaking her dress. She was severely punished, and her hands were chopped off, and 200 merits were deducted from her."

"In the spring of the 631st year of the Moro calendar, the canteen was late in preparing food. He was furious and punished them. He ordered the guards to kill the cook and six other people, and deducted 3,000 Yin De from them."

"In the autumn of the 634th year of the Moro calendar, the baby was miscarried. He was extremely grief-stricken and ordered his guards to capture three pregnant women from the city and perform caesarean sections to take out the babies. In order to relieve his pain, he was deducted 3,000 Yin De. "

"In the spring of the 636th year of the Mahārā calendar, the King of Goguryeo took in a new concubine. He became jealous and poisoned her to death, deducting 500 merits from his merits."

"In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro calendar, he fell ill and died at the age of 25."

"In my life, I have treated people in accordance with the laws of nature. The merits I have gained from doing trivial things are negative 2,000. The merits I have gained from my previous life are 100,000."

"A total of one hundred and twenty-one thousand two hundred and ninety Yin De."

Ye Jie spoke in a calm tone. With every additional word he spoke, Li Shaoxing, who was called by him, felt even colder. He felt that all the secrets he had done in the past, which were not known by anyone, were now all exposed.

Li Shaoxing trembled. In front of Ye Jie, she had no room to hide anything. All her merits, demerits, good and evil deeds were fully revealed. Her past deeds now became a series of merits and demerits. Her whole life was hidden in the cold numbers.

Looking at Ye Jie, he looked like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was the Lord of Yama Palace. Li Shaoxing felt deeply frightened and did not dare to stay in front of Ye Jie for a moment.

Just when she was about to give up, Ye Jie finally asked:
"This is your life experience. Tell me, do you think you are a good person? Do you think you are still qualified to enjoy wealth and glory in your next life?"

Hearing Ye Jie's whisper in her ears, Li Shaoxing subconsciously took a step back and turned to escape. However, in front of the Lord of Yama Palace, all her actions were useless. Ye Jie just showed a little bit of his aura, which made her tremble all over and kneel to the ground.

On the side, the King of Goguryeo could not stand it and tried to smooth things over, "What does the Lord mean? Shao Xing is of course a good person! She has more than 100,000 Yin De. Even if the Lord is unwilling to help me, according to the rules of Yama Palace, she should be reincarnated into the sixth rank corresponding to 100,000 Yin De."

However, Ye Jie just shook his head: "The amount of Yin De cannot reflect whether one has made merit or demerit. According to the rules of the Hell Code, a human life is only worth 500 Yin De, but a human life contains more than 500 Yin De."

After a pause, Ye Jie turned his gaze to the trembling Li Shaoxing:

"From the records in the Book of Life and Death, I can only see that you are a person who is harsh on your servants and extremely jealous. If that were all, it would be fine. The punishment your servants received could be explained by the fact that they had brought it upon themselves. But you should never, ever, take your anger out on those pregnant women."

At the end, Ye Jie's eyes completely turned cold. He looked at Li Shaoxing as if he was looking at a disgusting evil ghost: "A human life is worth 500 Yin De. Do you know why you killed three pregnant women but were deducted 3,000 Yin De? You killed not only them, but also the children in their bellies. You did such a horrific thing. No matter how many Yin De you have, it can't wash away your sins."

Li Shaoxing's teeth were chattering. For some reason, she felt a genuine chill from Ye Jie's cold whisper. The lingering coldness was the same as the coldness she felt when she was seriously ill and her life was on the verge of a candle, only this time it was much more intense.

"My lord, please save me..."

Li Shaoxing begged with tears in his eyes. Just as the King of Goguryeo was about to speak, Ye Jie took a step ahead and made the judgment of the Lord of Yama:
"In the name of Yama Palace Master, I sentence you to be thrown into an oil pot. You will be tormented in the oil pot for six months in order to pay for your crime of taking your anger out on a pregnant woman."

After saying that, without waiting for others to answer, as Ye Jie's mind moved, the great formation under the underworld began to operate. Ye Jie shook his sleeves, and Li Shaoxing's soul was pulled by a huge force, crossing the space, and falling straight into the flaming oil pan. No matter how she struggled, she could not get out of the oil pan, and could only scream and wail in pain in the boiling hot oil.

The Goguryeo king who stayed behind had a livid expression on his face, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes:

"What do you mean, Lord? She killed my people, just ordinary people. Even if she killed 10 million ordinary people, I don't care at all. Even I, the king, have no problem with her behavior. What right do you have to punish her?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "The human world has its own rules, and Yama Palace also has its own rules. If you commit a sin, you must accept the punishment. The flaming oil pot in Yama Palace is specially prepared for people like her. This is not a place for you to bargain."

As Ye Jie finished speaking, an invisible pressure spread out, and the Goguryeo king trembled. Ye Jie's move clearly showed that he didn't give him any face. How could he accept this? He immediately said harshly:

"Since the Palace Master is unwilling to confront me, then so be it. Losing the soul output of the Goguryeo people is a loss for the Golden Wheel Palace. Even if you change your mind and plan to use the Goguryeo era name to record the years, I will never agree!"

After saying this, the King of Goguryeo led his people away without saying a word to Ye Jie.

Ye Jie shook his head. He was not surprised by this. It seemed that he had to think of other ways to replenish the population of Yama Palace.

What Ye Jie didn't notice was that after the Goguryeo king left, the minister beside him was sweating profusely and whispered: "Your Majesty, you haven't asked the Palace Master for instructions on how to deal with the construction of the statue and the gang of thieves who are destroying everything... Without the help of the Golden Wheel Palace Master, we can do nothing about that gang of thieves with our strength..."

"Shut up, didn't you see what he did to Shao Xing? If he doesn't even want to fight me, how can I ask him for help? In the end, I will only be asking for trouble!"

The King of Goguryeo gritted his teeth secretly. This meeting with the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was really beyond his expectations.

In the past, the conditions offered by the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace were extremely lenient, and he was even more lenient towards the powerful and wealthy, winning unanimous praise from all the powerful and wealthy.

Unexpectedly, the current Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace has a completely different temper from the original Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace. He would rather not have the soul charm provided by the Goguryeo people than make any compromise.

Even his favorite concubine was thrown into the oil pan by him. This was a great humiliation for the self-righteous King of Goguryeo.

"Damn it, if that group of thieves weren't so difficult to deal with, how could I be so passive... The old Golden Wheel Palace Master ordered the Goguryeo people to build that statue. He said that once it was built, it would have the power to change the world and protect our dynasty for a thousand years. The current Golden Wheel Palace Master is obviously no longer reliable. In this case, we can only put all our hopes on the statue. Pass on my order and have everyone work day and night to build it. I just hope that after the statue is built, it can show its power and show those thieves how powerful it is."

The eyes of the Goguryeo king sank. The skills used by the thieves really frightened him. The leader of the thieves could actually shoot out a blazing magic light from his pupils. Everything that the magic light swept through would be split into two, without any exception. At the same time, Ye Jie was checking the seven stitching pages.

When he sent Li Shaoxing's soul into the Golden Wheel Palace, the number of wandering souls in the population column changed from 0 to 1.

"It's just a ghost. If this continues, how long will it take to develop the Yama Palace? I'm afraid it will take decades before the Document Hall is built..."

The Lord of Yama Palace holds the position for an extremely long time, often hundreds of years. As long as he is not driven out by other ghosts or loses his master account, he can keep his position.

Because of this, the Yamas do not care about the gains and losses of a day. Even if the Yama Palace is short of some resources, and ten years are not enough to collect them, will a hundred years not be enough?

"Well, I just became the master of the Golden Wheel Palace, and I have to develop step by step. One more ghost is better than no ghost. It seems that I have to go back to my old job, guide some wandering souls, and select ghost messengers from them..."

Just as Ye Jie was thinking, suddenly, the seven stitched pages in his hands began to vibrate violently.

"Let me see... Two thousand five hundred miles to the east, a ground dragon appeared near Chiyan Mountain, causing an earthquake that killed more than five hundred people."

After reading the news on the seven stitched pages, Ye Jie was stunned. He was just worried about the number of ghosts, and now they are here?

The demon king is rampant in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and there are many disasters, whether outside the East China Sea or on land. Even if Ye Jie does nothing and just chases the disaster all the way, he can still harvest enough ghosts.

Along with the news of the earth dragon's appearance, there is another row of reminders that cannot be ignored.

"Please ask the ghost of the Golden Wheel Palace to collect the soul as soon as possible, so as to prevent the soul from changing and giving birth to a strange ghost..."

When he saw the word "White Walker", Ye Jie couldn't help but be stunned.

If the soul of an ordinary dead person is not collected by the ghost catcher for more than seven days, it is likely to mutate and become a White Walker who loses his mind and only knows how to attack other creatures.

Like Luo Bei, whom Ye Jie had met before, strictly speaking, she was a strange ghost deliberately created by the ghost catcher. Because of the strong resentment in her heart, her cultivation level was stimulated by the resentment and far exceeded her level when she was alive. When the resentment in her heart disappeared, her strength fell back to the level of an ordinary first-level wandering soul.

The news transmitted from the seven stitched pages also sounded an invisible alarm for him.

In the Palace of Prince Guang, there are usually tens of thousands of ghost messengers to keep the human world running, but even so, mistakes sometimes occur, leading to the birth of strange walkers.

The remaining pages of the Book of Life and Death are not omnipotent. They can only roughly mark the location of the deceased. As for where the deceased is exactly, the ghost messengers need to find it themselves.

If the deceased falls into a very hidden dry well, or is swallowed whole by a python, or is swept away by huge waves, the ghost catcher will not be able to find the remains at all. After a long time, he can only give up, and eventually the White Walkers are born.

Now, Ye Jie has shut down the operation of the Golden Wheel. All the ghosts on land in Dongsheng Shenzhou need to be led away by people from the Yama Palace. If they stay there for more than seven days, they will be in danger of becoming strange ghosts.

"If we haven't recruited enough ghost messengers in six days, we will have to start the Golden Wheel again..."

Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh. This golden wheel was very convenient to use. He just needed to turn it on. Although it couldn't increase the number of ghosts in the Yama Palace, at least it could collect the souls of all the dead on land, and there was no need to worry about the appearance of strange walkers.

Shaking his head, Ye Jie quickly turned his attention to the earth dragon mentioned on the seven stitched pages.

"Let's go to the place where the earth dragon turned over first. I wonder if there are any suitable candidates to become ghost messengers among the dead there..."

Ye Jie's gaze lingered on the word "Earth Dragon" for a moment.

Although this earth dragon has the word "dragon" in its name, it is completely different from the divine dragon in the sky and is not even the same species.

The so-called earth dragon refers to earthworms that live underground, but not all earthworms are qualified to be called earth dragons. Earth dragons that can cause earthquakes have at least thousands of years of cultivation and are extremely powerful. Every time they wriggle and turn over underground, they can cause violent shocks.

In the past, although Ye Jie had heard of rumors about earth dragons, he had never seen one with his own eyes. With his level of cultivation at that time, he did not dare to approach an earth dragon rashly. However, he had received many deaths from earthquakes.

Among the dead, some people occasionally fell into the cracked ground and saw the full appearance of the earth dragon. According to their description, the earth dragon was a very terrifying monster.

"Wait, two thousand five hundred miles to the east? Doesn't that mean we have reached the territory of Aolai Kingdom?" Ye Jie raised his eyebrows as if he had thought of something.

There are more than one human country under the jurisdiction of the Golden Wheel Palace, and the Golden Wheel Palace's reign title does not have to be the Goguryeo reign title. We can take this opportunity to visit other countries and see if there are any suitable reign titles.

The selection of the year name is decided by the Lord of Yama Palace alone, but once it is chosen and recorded in black and white in the Book of Life and Death, it will undoubtedly be very troublesome to change it. At least one needs the Document Palace to unlock the administrative option of changing the year name.

The human era name used by Yama Palace is directly related to the amount of soul rhyme produced. Once the Lord of Yama Palace agrees to a lawsuit, he will be controlled by others. Even if the other party puts forward all kinds of unreasonable conditions, the Lord of Yama Palace cannot refuse.

Ye Jie doesn't want this to happen. Even if the soul energy stored in the Golden Wheel Palace is still decreasing, he doesn't want to just pick a reign title casually. This matter must be considered carefully.

Ye Jie took out the Shrinking Stone. Ordinary hall masters had the cultivation level of ghost immortals, and their strength was too strong to be directly moved using the Shrinking Stone. Ye Jie had not yet achieved the level of a ghost immortal, so he could use the Shrinking Stone to move freely, which was quite convenient.

As the crisp sound of hitting spread, Ye Jie's figure disappeared.
