Hell Emperor.

Chapter 507 Ye Jie - The Power of the Treasure Mirror
After obtaining the first Liuhe Treasure Mirror from the Dingsi Divine General, Ye Jie took advantage of the momentum and quickly found the Jiashen Divine General.

After learning of Ye Jie's request, Jiashen God readily agreed:
"If it weren't for the help of Ziwei Palace Master, the ferocious Pan Tianqi Zun would have left me with irreparable injuries, destroying my years of hard training. Since Ziwei Palace Master needs this Liuhe Treasure Mirror, I won't hide it. As long as Ziwei Palace Master does one thing for me, I will give this Liuhe Treasure Mirror to you."

Seeing that there was hope for the treasure mirror, Ye Jie couldn't help but smile: "I wonder what the Jiashen God wants me to do?"

The Jiashen God General sighed, "Among the six Jias, Jiashen means the sharp golden sun, symbolizing courage and diligence, and breaking through demonic barriers. After so long of attaining the Tao, I thought nothing could stump me. Even if the enemy was tough, as long as I practiced hard, I would be able to turn defeat into victory. But this demonic barrier, I just can't get over it no matter what..."

Seeing that Jiashen God General's words were full of hidden meanings, Ye Jie was slightly curious: "What on earth is it that makes Jiashen God General so embarrassed?"

The Jiashen God General said, "I have been enlightened for a hundred years and have left many descendants in the world. This incident happened to one of them. His name is Hu Tianying. His talent is not inferior to mine. If he practices hard, he will be able to serve in the Heavenly Court with me one day. I loved him very much. Unfortunately, he did not follow the right path as I expected, but went astray and degenerated into an evil immortal who harmed the people."

After a pause, Jiashen God continued, "He has committed many wrongs. Logically, he should have been punished by righteous people long ago. However, many immortals gave him a break for my sake. This not only failed to awaken his conscience, but made him even more evil and cruel."

Ye Jie understood the situation and guessed, "From what General Jiashen said, he wants me to teach him a lesson and guide him onto the right path?"

The Jiashen God General shook his head and said, "No, I hope you kill him and let him reincarnate. He has ruined countless families. If an ordinary person had made such a mistake, he would not be regrettable even if he died ten times. But he is my descendant after all. I cannot bring myself to do this. I can only entrust the Purple Wei Palace Master to do it."

Ye Jie was slightly stunned. He did not expect that General Jiashen would be so determined. He immediately accepted it and said, "If that's the case, leave it to me."

After finding out the whereabouts of the descendants, which were located in a mountain stream fifty miles away from Qingdi City, Ye Jie did not hesitate and set off immediately.

The journey is not far, just a short distance of dozens of miles. Compared to slowly speeding up the spirit boat, flying the sword is more convenient and faster, and it does not consume extra spirit stones.

Ye Jie called Shen Qingge and asked her to help fly the sword. Shen Qingge did as he asked and the sword set sail. After becoming an immortal, she was more adept at flying the sword. In less than half an incense stick of time, she arrived at the mountain stream mentioned by the Jiashen God.

Looking down, the mountains are filled with singing birds and chirping insects, lush vegetation, and pleasant scenery. It is a rare place for spiritual practice.

"Ok?"

Before the flying sword landed, Shen Qingge's sharp eyes quickly discovered something and frowned slightly: "Be careful, this mountain stream is covered by an illusion. The real situation is probably far from what we see."

"Illusion? Looks like I found the right place."

Ye Jie nodded, remembering the entrustment from General Jiashen. If this place was really empty and there was nothing unusual, then it would mean that he had come to the wrong place.

"Eye of the Candle Dragon."

The power of the Divine Dragon Transformation began to operate, and behind Ye Jie, a huge phantom of a dragon pupil slowly emerged. The dragon pupil was slightly open, and deep in the golden vertical pupil, it contained the cycle of life and death, the loneliness of the rotation of the sun and the moon. If one looked carefully, one could also see traces of the Great Dao.

The Eye of the Candle Dragon was created specifically to break spells. Once this move is used, no matter whether it is an illusion of mirage or an intricate spell, if it cannot withstand the pressure of the ancient dragon, it will be destroyed in an instant. It is an extremely rare power in the world.

As Ye Jie practiced his skills, the scene before their eyes changed completely. The disguises around them were removed, revealing the full picture of the place. Just one glance made the two of them tremble in their hearts, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

The chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects were no longer heard. All that echoed in the two men's ears were heart-wrenching cries and wails. On both sides of the road, apart from the dead trees, there were only rows of huge iron cages.

Imprisoned in the iron cages were children and women covered in mud and ragged clothes. Their eyes were lifeless, and there was a sense of numbness and death in them.

When the flying sword fell, the huge noise it made even made many people tremble all over and squat down with their heads in their hands, not daring to look directly at Ye Jie and his party.

"It seems that the situation here is worse than we expected."

Shen Qingge took a deep breath and his gaze fell on a mortal woman in the iron cage in front of him. She was covered in scars and had tears in her eyes. There was a rare hint of fierceness in his expression.

Ye Jie looked around, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and looked into the distance.

Soon, a surprised voice came from that direction: "Who are you? Why didn't you make an appointment in advance when you came to the Qinglian Chamber of Commerce's slave market?"

Following the sound, a man in a black robe, looking gentle and refined, appeared in front of the two.

Ye Jie's expression remained unchanged as he spoke slowly, "We were introduced by someone to be looking for an immortal named Hu Tianying."

The man understood and couldn't help but smile: "So it was other guests who recommended you here. I am the person you are looking for. Since other guests have already told you about the situation of the market, there is no need for me to introduce it in detail, right? What kind of slaves do you want to buy? Whether you need a pet servant or a fairy slave, or want to buy a Taoist partner, or adopt an adopted son or daughter who has forgotten everything, the market can meet your needs."

After a pause, the man continued, "Not long ago, a group of immortal disciples arrived in the market. I heard that one of them was once a saintly girl personally taught by Beichen Palace. As long as you can afford the price, it won't be a problem to take her away."

Ye Jie understood the situation and while he was thinking, he heard Shen Qingge speak slowly: "How did these slaves get here?"

Hu Tianying glanced at her and said, "Sir, are you doubting the source of the slaves here? Don't worry, they all came here voluntarily."

Shen Qingge didn't believe it: "Voluntary? Who would give up a good life and volunteer to be a slave?"

Hu Tianying was speechless for a moment, and then said: "Since you don't believe it, why not go and ask them yourself."

Hu Tianying signaled his men to open several of the iron cages according to Shen Qingge's request and release the ragged people inside, including some children under the age of ten.

"Tell this guest, are you here voluntarily?"

Under Hu Tianying's questioning, the slaves looked away and shrank their necks, not daring to say a word of no:
"It's voluntary, it's voluntary!"

"Sir, we all came here voluntarily." After hearing everyone's answer, Shen Qingge's momentum did not diminish. He did not believe what they said and said to them:
"If you are afraid to tell the truth because of the situation, then you don't have to worry. Just tell me the actual situation."

The slaves looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word. They just lowered their heads even more.

Shen Qingge's cold eyes swept around, but no slave dared to look her in the eye. Under her sharp cold eyes, the slaves felt guilty and did not dare to tell the truth.

Soon, Shen Qingge also found a target, the woman with tears in her eyes, who had been staring at her from beginning to end, as if she had something to say: "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened to you."

"It's all his fault! He led the immortals to attack the town where I lived, and everyone in the town became slaves. He sold my husband to Wanshou City as a slave, and I don't even know who he sold my newborn child to. I didn't come here voluntarily!"

With Shen Qingge's encouragement, the resentful woman finally mustered up the courage to complain to Hu Tianying who was not far away.

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

After hearing these words, even Hu Tianying couldn't hold back anymore, and said with a gloomy face:
"Sir, what do you mean? Why are you so aggressive if you don't choose the slaves you like? Where these slaves come from, what does it matter? Why do you care so much? Or do you not intend to trade sincerely at all, but come here to make trouble on purpose?"

Seeing this, Ye Jie also dropped his cover-up and slowly said, "You are right, we came here this time just to take your life."

"What……"

Hu Tianying frowned, and seeing that Ye Jie didn't seem to be joking, he became alert:

"Take my life? Do you know who I am? My father is the Jiashen Yangshen appointed by the Heavenly Court. Besides, this is the territory of the Qinglian Chamber of Commerce. If you dare to hurt me, the people of the Qinglian Palace will never let you go!"

Hearing this, even Ye Jie was a little surprised. He had thought that Hu Tianying was just a descendant of General Jiashen, but he didn't expect that he was actually his biological son. No wonder he couldn't do it and had to entrust someone else to do it for him.

"Do you think that just by saying these words, you can make me back down? Today is the day you die."

Ye Jie remained unmoved, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Not to mention what Hu Tianying had done, just the request of General Jiashen made it impossible for Ye Jie to let him go. Only by killing him could Ye Jie get the next Liuhe Treasure Mirror and complete his path to promotion.

Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Ye Jie, Hu Tianying also realized that he had met a tough guy. Since he couldn't scare him off by relying on his identity, it seemed that he could only fight with his own hands. With a fierce look in his eyes, he said:

"You are only at the late third level of cultivation. Don't think I am really afraid of you. I have done so much dirty work for the Qinglian Chamber of Commerce, but it is not in vain. Since you insist on seeking death, I will send you on your way!"

As soon as the words fell, Hu Tianying's aura surged. Even Ye Jie was surprised by the strong aura. He actually had the cultivation level of the early fifth turn.

"Early stage of fifth transformation? Aren't you the son of General Jiashen? How come your strength is stronger than General Jiashen?"

Even Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect Hu Tianying's strength to be so strong. His aura was much stronger than that of Jiashen God General.

In front of Pan Tianqi Zun, General Jiashen could not withstand a single move, but if Hu Tianying were to take over, he might really be able to exchange a few moves with the giant python. This is the difference in strength.

This discovery made Ye Jie a little surprised, but Hu Tianying was not surprised at all:
"It's all because of his stubbornness. He can't recognize the situation. As an immortal official, he doesn't know how to adapt. He is obviously a Yang God, but he is unwilling to bend for money. He always thinks highly of himself. How can he be better off than me? There is no point in saying more. Since you dare to come here to make trouble, then you will die!"

Hu Tianying sneered, raised his hand and made a gesture, a golden light streaked across the sky, and came in response. Looking carefully, it turned out to be an unparalleled sharp golden flying sword: "Taste the power of the third-grade artifact, the Sharp Gold Sword!"

"careful!"

Feeling the power contained in the shining golden flying sword, Shen Qingge's pupils shrank. As she was the best at flying swords, she certainly understood what kind of power was contained in that seemingly small flying sword. Even if Pan Tianqi Zun was here, he would probably be pierced by the flying sword.

Shen Qingge immediately made a hand gesture, and the flying swords in the sword box flew out one after another, trying to block the attacking sharp golden sword. Unfortunately, her attempt was in vain. In front of the shining golden sword, all of Shen Qingge's flying swords broke, and they were no match for it.

"Oh no... That flying sword actually contains the golden sharp power wielded by Jiashen God General. Moreover, it is even stronger than what Jiashen God General can exert. If ordinary immortals don't know how to restrain it, they are no match for him..."

Seeing that the flying sword was about to approach, Shen Qingge was secretly anxious. Ye Jie looked indifferent and calmly took out a magical round mirror inlaid with gems from his arms and faced the sword with the mirror.

"Liuhe Treasure Mirror, take it for me!"

Above the flying sword, the golden sharp divine light kept shining, and then reflected on the surface of the Liuhe Treasure Mirror. The power of the same origin stimulated the potential of the Liuhe Treasure Mirror. The mirror surface was like water, rippling with light, and it seemed as if another world was hidden in it.

The Sharp Gold Sword came straight at it and pierced into the mirror, but it did not break the Liuhe Treasure Mirror. Instead, it seemed as if it had entered another world. No matter how hard the Sharp Gold Sword stabbed, it could not escape from it and disappeared into the mirror.

Hu Tianying saw this scene and was horrified: "That is... a third-grade divine weapon, the Liuhe Treasure Mirror? This is impossible. Only the Six Dings and Six Jias can possess such a divine mirror. Who are you? How can you possess such a magic weapon?"

Ye Jie's expression remained unchanged. After obtaining the Liuhe Treasure Mirror, he felt the power of this artifact. Even if it was not used for the promotion of immortal officials, the effect would definitely not be bad if he used it as a magic weapon for himself. Now, as soon as the Liuhe Treasure Mirror appeared, it immediately showed its power, and scared Hu Tianying to death.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm here to kill you."

Ye Jie whispered, and the power of the Divine Dragon Transformation was no longer concealed. The terrifying aura released from his body immediately made Hu Tianying's teeth tremble. Only then did he realize that Ye Jie's strength was far more than just the late third level.

Before Hu Tianying could escape, he saw a thick dragon tail constantly enlarging in his pupils. With a loud bang, his immortal body was shattered by the dragon's tail and he finally fell to the ground, dead.
