Hell Emperor.

Chapter 511 Shen Qingge - Sharp Gold Sword
In order to complete the commission from Jiawu God, Ye Jie needs to find a way to cut the red thread of Yue Lao. The next goal also falls on the three artifacts mentioned by Jiawu God.

After pondering to no avail, Ye Jie asked his companion beside him:

"The Jiawu God asked me to find a magic weapon to cut off the red thread of Yue Lao. He mentioned that there are three artifacts that can do it, namely the golden dragon shears in the hands of the Three Goddesses, the sword of wisdom in the Hall of Equality, and the golden hairpin on the head of the Queen Mother. What do you know about these three artifacts?"

Su Miao pondered for a moment and spoke first: "The Wisdom Sword?... I have heard rumors about that magic sword. It is said that it is a magic sword that cuts off illusions and is wielded by Manjusri in the Equality Hall. I am afraid it is not that easy to persuade that being to lend you the Wisdom Sword."

Yao Yin also frowned. "The power of the Queen Mother's golden hairpin has been more or less heard by the immortals. It is said that in the past, when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl had a secret meeting, the Queen Mother learned about it and simply used the golden hairpin on her head to draw a rolling galaxy, separating the two at the two ends of the galaxy. If you want to persuade the Queen Mother to borrow the golden hairpin, I'm afraid there is no hope with your status."

Ye Jie took a deep breath. He certainly understood the difficulty of doing this, and couldn't help but say: "Besides this, is there no other way?"

Ren Changhong seemed to remember something. As a Shura in the past, she had heard a lot of rumors:
"Wait, you mean the Three Goddesses of the Sky? I seem to have heard rumors about those three fairies. Their names are respectively Yunxiao Fairy, Bixiao Fairy and Qiongxiao Fairy. Together they are called the Three Goddesses of the Sky. They are the sisters of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth."

After hearing what Changhong said, Su Miao also remembered something:
"That's right. According to the records of the Nether Spirit Hall, ever since the Green Lotus Hall mortgaged the main account of the hall to the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth has made a major personnel change in the Green Lotus Hall. Some important positions are no longer filled by the highly respected ghost fairies, but are instead firmly held by his own confidants. Among them, Fairy Yunxiao is now the chief elder of the Green Lotus Hall. The Green Lotus Hall does not have a hall master, and all decisions in the hall need to be approved by her."

"what?"

Ye Jie was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the person he was looking for was the grand elder of the Qinglian Palace.

In the past, relying on his relationship with the Qinglian Palace, he might have been able to borrow the Golden Dragon Shears from Fairy Yunxiao. However, now that Ye Jie had completely broken off relations with the Qinglian Palace, let alone borrowing a second-grade artifact like the Golden Dragon Shears, it was likely that before long, Ye Jie himself would have to experience the power of the Golden Dragon Shears.

This situation made Ye Jie feel very difficult.

Shen Qingge saw his distress and asked, "Ah Jie, are you regretting that you shouldn't have torn your face with Qinglian Palace so quickly?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "That's not the case. It's difficult to stick to one's original intention. Those things that hurt the world and morality can certainly bring huge profits, but they can also make people become evil. I don't regret my choice, I just feel a little emotional."

Shen Qingge would not interfere with Ye Jie's choice. In the previous vote on the Yangshou trade, she chose to remain neutral, neither supporting nor opposing. But Ye Jie knew that although she did not say it explicitly, she still hoped that he could make the right choice, just like Xia Wei.

"Now that we know the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon Shears, things will be easier. The Grand Elder of the Green Lotus Palace? I believe I will be able to meet her soon."

Ye Jie spoke slowly, and once again reminded his companions to stay on the Tianji and not run around, and then began to wait for the reply from the Qinglian Palace.

Three days passed in a flash, and Ye Jie once again met Shoufa and Sanquxian who represented the Chamber of Commerce. The difference from the last time was that this time, the two men had stern faces, and there was a hint of fear and hostility in their eyes when they looked at Ye Jie.

"Please follow me, Master Ziwei. We have conveyed your request to the elders in Qinglian Hall. The elders have made a decision and want to have a final negotiation with you."

Ye Jie nodded, and under the leadership of Sanquxian, the group soon arrived at a secluded and deserted dense forest outside Qingdi City.

“Does Qinglian Palace like to negotiate in a place like this? I thought it would at least be in the main hall in the city.” Ye Jie looked around and frowned slightly.

Sanquxian simply said, "The elders have different opinions. I am here on behalf of one of the elders to negotiate with the Purple Star Palace Master. It would be better not to let others know about this meeting."

Ye Jie looked at him and said something without asking any more questions. He followed him all the way and soon came to an empty clearing in the forest.

As he stepped into it, ripples suddenly appeared in the void in front of Ye Jie. The strong restraint coming from it made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire. Even the immortal energy in his body was difficult to use for a while.

"This is……"

Feeling the restraint all over his body, Ye Jie's expression changed slightly. The ground under his feet suddenly began to show dark purple lines. The lines expanded and completely covered the entire forest. It was clearly the sign of the formation being activated.

Sanquxian had expected this and quickly retreated outside the formation, staring at Ye Jie with a bit of coldness in his eyes:

"What a pity... This Three Rivers Binding Immortal Formation was originally prepared to deal with Pan Tianqi Zun. I don't know how many precious materials were spent on setting it up. However, since Ziwei Palace Master is so ungrateful, I will let you have a taste of the power of this formation!"

Ye Jie's heart sank. The seemingly empty forest was already filled with murderous intent, waiting for him to fall into it and there would be no chance for him to turn around.

Ye Jie turned his gaze and fell on Shoufa who was standing beside him: "What does this mean? Could it be that this is also your decision?"

Shoufa sighed, "Palace Master Ye, don't you know that destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents? No matter how good our friendship was in the past, your actions have crossed the bottom line. Qinglian Palace will never tolerate such a thing. Don't worry, for the sake of our past friendship, I will not let your soul fly away, but will personally send you to reincarnation."

Ye Jie's eyes darkened. It seemed that the two men came prepared and had no intention of negotiating with him again. Once they made a move, they wanted to put him to death.

"Divine Dragon Transformation, Eye of the Candle Dragon!"

Of course Ye Jie would not surrender. He activated the power of the Divine Dragon Transformation and a deep dark golden dragon pupil suddenly unfolded behind him. The pupil contained the cycle of heaven and earth, the rotation of the sun and the moon, and could break everything in the world.

However, something unexpected happened to Ye Jie. Under the illumination of the Eye of Candle Dragon, the formation that trapped him trembled slightly. Apart from that, there was nothing unusual. The heavy pressure still made it difficult for him to move.

Seeing this, Sanquxian sneered, "It's useless, Ziwei Palace Master, you'd better save your energy. The Three Rivers Binding Immortal Formation contains the heavy pressure after refining three large rivers. It is not an illusion without substance. Even if Pan Tianqizun comes, he can't make any waves. Your ability to break the law is not useful here!"

Feeling the pressure coming from the formation, Ye Jie thought to himself that something was wrong. After all, the Qinglian Palace had a strong foundation and was able to set up such a top-level formation for him. His moves must have been investigated by them a long time ago, so they had chosen means to specifically restrain him. Even the Eye of the Candle Dragon was of no use.

Shoufa looked indifferent and said slowly: "Offending Qinglian Palace is the most wrong decision you have ever made. Mortals are just weeds in a pasture. When one batch is harvested, another batch will grow and they will never become extinct. Palace Master Ye, you have chosen the wrong path after all. Now, you have to pay the price for your mistake." Ye Jie was unmoved and quickly thought about how to break the formation: "Do you think you can trap me with this formation alone? When I get out of this, none of you can escape. Divine Dragon Transformation, Hidden Dragon Soaring into the Abyss!"

As Ye Jie finished his words, a torrent of energy gushed out of his body, causing the entire earth to tremble. It was as if a mad beast had awakened and was unreservedly exuding an earth-shaking aura. The people far away in Qingdi City were even more panicked, thinking that a natural disaster was caused by a dragon turning over.

As the earth shook and everything trembled, cracks spread across the formation. Under that pure power, the formation showed signs of failing. Even Sanquxian could not maintain his usual composure. Shoufa asked in panic:

"Wait a minute, didn't you say that this formation could suppress Palace Master Ye? Why is the situation like this?"

Sanquxian glared and said, "He is just struggling in his death throes. This is the formation that Fairy Yunxiao taught me. With his strength, he will definitely not be able to escape!"

As if to prove what Sanquxian said, the shaking of the formation suddenly stopped, and the cracks were all restored in an instant. All the turmoil and impact that had been suffered before now turned into a stronger force, which in turn suppressed Ye Jie, making him miserable.

Seeing this, Sanquxian was relieved and smiled grimly: "That's it. The more someone who falls into the formation struggles, the more he will be suppressed. All his efforts will be useless in the end, and will become a part of his imprisonment."

Hearing this, Shoufa breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Jie's attitude just now really frightened him.

Recalling the beginning, when he first met Ye Jie in the Golden Wheel Palace, he was not a ghost immortal at all. Although his strength had its merits, it was just so-so. Shoufa could easily defeat Ye Jie with just a few moves.

But since when, Ye Jie's strength has become stronger and stronger, and in the end, he even reached a level that Shoufa could not understand at all. Just based on the momentum he just revealed, Shoufa dared not even breathe. I'm afraid that only Fairy Wanshou can compete with Ye Jie head-on.

"Palace Master Ye's potential is truly terrifying. Throughout the past thousand years, I have never seen such a ghost... Now that he has become the enemy of the Qinglian Palace, he must not be let go. If he is allowed to escape, I am afraid that he will leave endless disasters. He must be completely eradicated!"

Looking at Ye Jie, Shoufa's eyes were cold, filled with fear and hostility, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible. He would not let him escape no matter what.

Sanquxian was full of pride: "Don't worry, he definitely can't..."

Sanquxian stopped talking halfway. He lowered his head tremblingly, only to see a hole in his chest. Through the hole, he could still see the scenery behind him.

Shoufa also realized that something was wrong, and for a moment he was scared to death. Just now, he caught a glimpse of a fleeting light out of the corner of his eye. Before he could react, Sanquxian was severely injured and his body was destroyed.

"Who is it? Who dares to interfere in the affairs of the Qinglian Palace?"

Shoufa asked sternly, but saw a woman in white clothes as white as snow and beautiful eyebrows slowly walking out of the darkness. She made a gesture with one hand, and a stream of light stopped behind her, revealing her full appearance. It was a brave and powerful three-inch flying sword covered with light. It was obviously her who attacked and killed Sanquxian.

Seeing the person coming, Ye Jie felt relieved. The person coming to reinforce him was Shen Qingge. The Sharp Gold Sword she activated was indeed a third-grade artifact forged by the Yang God. It was good at unexpected sneak attacks, and even the Three-Qu Immortal was fooled.

Without Sanquxian controlling the magic circle, the pressure on Ye Jie was greatly reduced, and the power of the Divine Dragon Transformation was stimulated. With a loud bang, the patterns of the magic circle on the ground collapsed bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye he broke free and regained his freedom.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from Shoufa's forehead. Now, not only did Sanquxian die, but even Ye Jie was able to escape. He was really miserable now.

"Palace Master Ye, I wrongly believed what Sanquxian said. This was all his idea and has nothing to do with me. Please spare my life..." Shoufa begged with his teeth chattering.

Ye Jie shook his head: "I gave you a chance, but you made the wrong choice. Don't worry, I won't let your soul fly away, and you can reincarnate again."

"I still have a lot of good karma and life span. As long as Palace Master Ye lets me go, I can give them all to you! I can give you hundreds of millions of good karma every year..." Shou pleaded in a pitiful voice.

Ye Jie was unmoved: "You can only choose one: to be torn apart or to be reincarnated again."

Seeing Ye Jie's resolute expression, which showed no room for turning back, Shoufa also realized his fate and could not help but sigh:
"Forget it. Rather than having my soul scattered, I might as well start over. As long as I can keep my soul, I'll just reincarnate..."

Ye Jie glanced at him and said, "Before you reincarnate again, give up all your good deeds. Your good deeds were plundered from other people in the world and should not be used for your next reincarnation."

Shoufa's eyes trembled: "But if I don't have enough Yinde to be reincarnated at a high level, how can I obtain the innate supernatural powers in the next life? How can I stand above those mediocre mortals?"

Ye Jie did not answer, but took out the eight-sided stitched pages and, relying on the function of the main account of the Nether Spirit Hall, found Shoufa's file:
"Let me see... Before you became a ghost, you earned a total of 320 Yin De in your life as a mortal. These 320 Yin De belong to you, and are proof of your merits and demerits in your life. I will leave 320 Yin De for you to use in your reincarnation."

Shoufa was horrified. With only 320 Yin De, wouldn't he only be able to reincarnate in the ninth level? In the next life, he would become a complete mortal and lose everything he once had.

Seeing Shoufa not moving for a long time, Ye Jie just said: "I have the power of Shura. If you refuse to hand it over, after your soul flies away, these good deeds will still belong to me. You can choose for yourself."

Shoufa was silent for a long time. He was willing to choose the latter choice, whether to let his soul fly away or to return to reincarnation and become a complete mortal. In the end, he gave up his good deeds with a bitter face.

As Shoufa moved, the eight stitched pages in Ye Jie's hand trembled violently. The vibration was unprecedented and did not subside for a long time.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the spring of the 640th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie received 4.7 billion Yin De from Shou Fa.]
