Hell Emperor.

Chapter 509 Ye Jie - Mandarin Duck

Under the sword of Shen Qingge, the two quickly returned to Qingdi City and met the Jiashen God General who was waiting there.

Seeing Ye Jie return safely and looking as normal, Jiashen God General took a deep breath, suppressed his inner restlessness, and said in a calm tone:

"I heard about what happened in the market... You killed him, right? Did he suffer any pain before he died?"

Ye Jie shook his head and answered truthfully: "I didn't let him feel any pain. I only used one move to destroy his immortal body."

"Yeah……"

General Jiashen was stunned. Others didn't know Hu Tianying's strength, but how could he not know? Even if he took action himself, he was afraid that he would not be Hu Tianying's opponent now. He didn't expect that the Purple Wei Palace Master, who seemed to be only at the third level, could defeat such a difficult opponent with just one move.

Even though he had seen the battle between the Lord of Ziwei Palace and Pan Tianqizun, General Jiashen still found it somewhat unbelievable. It seemed that the Lord of Ziwei Palace was even stronger than before.

Ye Jie reached into his bosom, took out the soul-calling banner, and asked him, "I have brought Hu Tianying's soul back. Do you have anything else to say to him before he re-enters reincarnation?"

"No... forget it." Jiashen God General waved his hands repeatedly, rejecting the proposal, and sighed, "The relationship in this life is over. I just hope that in the next life, he can marry into a good family and start a new life."

Ye Jie nodded, then found Su Miao and introduced her, "This is Fairy Miaorou from the Nether Spirit Palace. She will send Hu Tianying's soul into reincarnation to ensure the smooth progress of reincarnation."

General Jiashen nodded and said, "I have also heard of Fairy Miaorou's name. I heard that she is highly regarded by the Lord of the Netherworld Palace and is the best ghost messenger in the Netherworld Palace. Since she has come forward, I think there is no need to worry about reincarnation."

Su Miao was about to explode when she was summoned by Ye Jie. When did she listen to Ye Jie's orders? However, in front of the God General, she still maintained the etiquette of a descendant of Xuannv. She glared at Ye Jie and took away Hu Tianying's soul.

After Su Miao's figure completely disappeared, the Jiashen God General did not hesitate to take out a bright and blazing mirror from his arms and handed it to Ye Jie:

"Master Ziwei, you have completed the task I assigned you according to the agreement. This Liuhe Treasure Mirror now belongs to you."

After receiving the Liuhe Treasure Mirror, Ye Jie felt delighted as he felt the unique power contained in it. However, he heard the Jiashen God General ask:

"I heard from General Ding Si that she gave you the Liuhe Mirror. You already have a Liuhe Mirror, so why do you need mine? Are you planning to follow the ancient legend and combine the legendary Yin-Yang Mirror?"

Ye Jie was slightly stunned: "That's not the case. I need three Liuhe Treasure Mirrors to complete a ritual. As for the Yin-Yang Mirror, I don't know what it is."

Seeing that Ye Jie was not pretending but really knew nothing about this, Jiashen God General pondered for a while before speaking: "So that's how it is... I misunderstood. That's right, to combine the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror, you need a total of twelve Six-Combination Treasure Mirrors, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can accomplish. It seems that the Lord of Ziwei Palace really doesn't know this news."

Hearing this, even Ye Jie became interested and asked curiously, "What exactly is the Yin-Yang Magic Mirror? It actually requires twelve Six-Combination Magic Mirrors to be combined... I remember that each of the Six Dings and Six Jias only has one Six-Combination Magic Mirror. If you want to combine the Yin-Yang Magic Mirror, doesn't it require the combined strength of twelve people?"

General Jiashen nodded and said, "That's right. Among the Six Dings and Six Jias, the Six Dings are Yin gods and the Six Jias are Yang gods. Each of them symbolizes different powers, covering various fields. Only when everyone works together can we reach the extreme of Yin and Yang and achieve perfection. The embodiment of that perfect power is the Yin and Yang Mirror, a first-grade artifact. It's a pity that throughout the thousand years, the Six Dings and Six Jias worked together, but the Yin and Yang Mirror only appeared once, when the immortals and gods in the sky were fighting against the Emperor of the Underworld."

"First-class divine weapon..."

Upon hearing about the power of the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror, Ye Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath. First-class divine artifacts are extremely rare in this world, and each one has the ability to reach heaven and earth. No matter which one you own, you can become a hegemon famous throughout the world.

Although the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror is powerful, it requires the combination of twelve Six-Combination Treasure Mirrors. Regardless of how they are collected, Ye Jie's path to promotion alone requires the complete consumption of three of the Six-Combination Treasure Mirrors. It seems that Ye Jie is destined to have no chance of obtaining the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror.

Ye Jie was about to say goodbye to General Jiashen, but he stopped him and said, "Master Ziwei, since you need three Six-Harmony Mirrors, I guess you will definitely go to find General Jiawu next."

Ye Jie nodded. There were currently three divine generals in Qingdi City. If he didn't want to go far away, the divine general Jiawu would be Ye Jie's next target.

General Jiashen reminded, "General Jiawu is not as easy to talk to as we are. Among the six Yang gods, he controls the Yang of noon, which symbolizes grandeur and brightness. He is also the strongest among us. It may not be easy to get the Liuhe Treasure Mirror from him."

Ye Jie took note of it carefully, and then asked, "In this case, what should I do to persuade Jiawu God General? If Jiashen God General has any suggestions, please give me some advice."

General Jiashen pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I don't know if it's my illusion, but General Jiawu and General Dingsi have been very close recently. Speaking of this mission to reinforce Qingdi City, General Jiayin was supposed to come with us, but when we set out, there was a temporary replacement, and General Jiawu replaced General Jiayin. It seems that in many missions, we can see General Jiawu and General Dingsi acting together, which is really abnormal..."

After a pause, General Jiashen shook his head and said, "But maybe I'm overthinking it. The rules in the Heavenly Court are strict. Immortal officials cannot fall in love with monsters, and they cannot have a romantic relationship with each other, especially between immortal officials of the same position. Once discovered, the end will not be very good. They will be easily dismissed from their positions. In more serious cases, they will suffer terrible punishment. I shouldn't say these things behind your back. I hope that the Lord of Ziwei Palace will forget about it."

Ye Jie remained silent. When he was in Dongsheng Shenzhou, he had indeed heard the mountain god Changqing say something similar. It was because he fell in love with a monster that he was punished to go to the Soul-Devouring Abyss.

However, the words of General Jiashen also gave Ye Jie a reminder.

Among the twelve hours, noon and noon are adjacent, both are when the light is brightest at noon. The two generals are both good at the way of fire, perhaps for this reason, the two of them became close to each other.

After learning the information, Ye Jie set out to look for the Jiawu General. After learning the whereabouts of the general from others, Ye Jie hurried forward. Before he got close, he heard a loud quarrel coming from afar.

"I heard from the Qinglian Chamber of Commerce that you went to the Wanshou Casino again?"

Ye Jie slowed down his pace. It seemed to be the voice of the Jiawu God General.

"I went, so what?"

A familiar voice came over, it was the voice of General Ding Si. "You finally used the Six Harmony Mirror to make the Lord of Ziwei Palace pay off your debt of life, and now you owe so much debt. All your previous efforts were in vain. Why don't you even want to learn a lesson?"

"What does this have to do with you? I've lost so much, it's annoying enough, I don't need you to tell me what to do! Who are you to me? Mind your own business!"

After saying that, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming over. Seeing someone approaching, Ye Jie didn't want to cause any trouble, so he immediately used the Dragon Virtue to hide. His body turned transparent and disappeared into the void, without even a trace left.

The Dingsi divine general in a red dress walked away in a hurry angrily. Behind her, the Jiawu divine general in red armor walked out. He frowned and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed deeply.

After standing for a while, until General Dingsi walked away, General Jiawu slightly turned sideways and said, "My friend over there, have you heard enough? If you have, show yourself."

After saying that, his gaze fell on a certain void, which was where Ye Jie disappeared.

"Did you find me..."

Ye Jie had a feeling in his heart. The Jiawu God General was in charge of the midday sun. Under that grand and bright yang fire, all shadows could be exposed. Any method of hiding like Long De Er Yin would be seen through by him in a moment.

His disguise was exposed, and Ye Jie did not continue to hide. After finishing his training, his figure emerged from the void.

Seeing Ye Jie, Jiawu God General looked solemnly: "So it's the Lord of Ziwei Palace. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Ye Jie waved his hand, his expression normal: "It's okay."

"Is the Lord of Ziwei Palace here to look for General Dingsi? She is in a bad mood right now and I'm afraid she doesn't want to talk to you." General Jiawu asked.

Ye Jie smiled and said, "I'm not here to find her. I'm here to find you."

"Looking for me?" General Jiawu was a little surprised and didn't understand why Ye Jie came here.

Ye Jie stated his purpose: "I need the Liuhe Treasure Mirror in the hands of the God General. I wonder if the God General would be willing to give it to me? Of course, the price is negotiable, and I will never let the God General suffer a loss."

Hearing this, General Jiawu shook his head repeatedly: "Palace Master Ziwei, you are joking. The Liuhe Treasure Mirror is the identity symbol of the Six Dings and Six Jias. It is a third-grade artifact that takes a hundred years to refine. It cannot be easily transferred to others, and it cannot be sold at any price."

Ye Jie remembered the reminder given by Jiashen God General before. Jiawu God General was indeed as difficult to talk to as the rumors said. It might not be so easy to get the Liuhe Treasure Mirror from him.

After some thought, and recalling what he had just seen, Ye Jie spoke without leaving a trace: "I heard from General Ding Si that she has seen General Jia Wu in many missions recently."

"Really? What else did she say?" Upon hearing this, General Jiawu opened his eyes wide and asked quickly.

Ye Jie did not answer, but said: "I heard that according to the rules of the Heavenly Court, if the immortal officials have unnecessary worldly desires, they will be severely punished. When Jiawu God is carrying out his mission in the future, he must be more careful to avoid being criticized."

Seeing Ye Jie's sincere tone, as if he was worried about him, Jiawu God General sighed: "Palace Master Ziwei has misunderstood. There is no unnecessary affection between me and Dingsi God General. I hate her. If possible, I don't want to see her, but I have to find her to confirm something. I can't leave before I get the answer."

Ye Jie was a little surprised. This was different from what he expected, so he asked, "What on earth is it that made General Jiawu go to so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just ask General Dingsi directly?"

The Jiawu God was silent for a moment, and finally expressed his inner distress:
"The story began a long time ago. I was touring Taixu that day, and I found a drunk old man in Taiyin. I saw that he was alone, his speech was slurred, and he was freezing in the bitter cold. It seemed that he got drunk and strayed into this place. I didn't know where he came from, so I kindly suggested to send him home."

After a pause, the Jiawu God General continued, "I sent him all the way to Hongluan Star. After we arrived, he showed me a strange book to express his gratitude. In that book, I saw my own name and another person's name. Although I was confused at the time, I didn't care. Later, when I accumulated enough merits and was promoted to Liujia Yangshen, I was eligible to participate in the Peach Banquet. At the banquet, I met the old man again..."

At the end, the Jiawu God took a deep breath and said, "It was not until then that I realized that the old man was the matchmaker who was in charge of the marriages in the world. The strange book he showed me was clearly the legendary first-class document artifact, the Mandarin Duck Book."

"What..." Even Ye Jie couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he learned about the past of the Jiawu God General, which had such a bizarre experience.

Among the first-class artifacts of the document type, the Book of Love and Ducks cannot allow people to ascend to heaven in broad daylight like the Investiture of the Gods and possess powers comparable to those of immortals. It cannot record the files of all living beings and grant good karma like the Book of Life and Death, but it has the most unique function, which is to record all the marriages in the world.

No matter they are immortals or mortals, from a brief romance to a thousand-year engagement, everything is clearly recorded in the Yuanyangpu. From this point of view, the power of the Yuanyangpu is not inferior to the other first-class artifacts of literature.

After learning about this, Ye Jie pondered for a while, and soon showed a look of astonishment: "Could it be that the names you saw in the Mandarin Duck Book are yours and General Ding Si's names?"

The Jiawu God General gave a bitter smile, "Yes, that's the truth... I have been frugal since childhood, and I don't know how much I have suffered to ascend to the immortal throne. On weekdays, I don't even want to waste a grain of rice in my bowl, while the Dingsi God General is a gambler, and I don't know how many spirit stones and life spans she has lost. She and I don't like each other at all, but why are our names written together in the love genealogy?"

Ye Jie understood the situation clearly: "Is this the reason why you are going to ask General Ding Si to clarify the matter?"

The Jiawu God General nodded and admitted: "I am confused... Master Ziwei, you know that the Mandarin Duck Genealogy is not immutable, but can be changed by others, such as writing their own name on it."

Ye Jie's face was solemn: "Indeed. Any first-grade divine instrument of the document type can be added, deleted, or modified by the holder, so as to achieve the ability to distort reality. I think the Mandarin Duck Book is no exception."

Ye Jie had a deep understanding of this. His strength was gained by modifying his own records in the Book of Life and Death. Xia Wei also relied on tampering with the List of Gods to make the Dongsheng Shenzhou ascend.

All records written in a first-grade document artifact, no matter how bizarre, will be reflected in reality. It seems that there is destined to be a marriage between Jiawu and Dingsi.
