Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time
Chapter 559 The Removed Human Skin
Even Bai Qi, a seasoned warrior, felt somewhat uncomfortable in that scene.
Upon entering the village, the scene before my eyes was even more desolate.
The doors of every house were wide open, and the inside was a mess, with tables, chairs and benches overturned and some dried bloodstains remaining on the ground.
The villagers' corpses lay scattered on the ground, their faces as pale as paper and their bodies shriveled, like mummies.
The air was filled with a strong, nauseating smell of blood and decay.
Ying Xuan looked at the tragic scene before him, his heart filled with rage.
His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, leaving bloody marks.
He secretly vowed to bring the mastermind behind this to justice, to avenge these innocent people, and to let their wronged souls rest in peace.
Just then, Li Si's clone suddenly noticed something unusual.
He walked quickly to a corpse, squatted down, and examined it carefully.
His brows furrowed, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he said, “Your Majesty, this corpse is strange. His wounds don’t look like they were made by teeth, but rather by something sharp. Moreover, the skin around the wounds has an eerie black color, as if it has been corrupted by some evil force.”
Upon hearing this, Ying Xuan also went over. He bent down and carefully examined the wounds on the corpse.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Indeed, it seems that the murderer's method is quite unique, unlike any zombie or other evil spirit we have ever known before."
They then searched the village again, but still found no useful clues.
Just as they were about to leave, Ying Xuan suddenly remembered that there was a river at the entrance of the village. He thought to himself that there might be some discoveries there.
So they headed towards the river at the village entrance. When they arrived at the riverbank, Ying Xuan and the others found that the water had become extremely murky, with debris floating on the surface and a pungent odor emanating from it.
Suddenly, Ying Xuan's gaze was drawn to something by the riverbank.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a human skin!
Ying Xuan was startled; he had never seen anything so bizarre.
He turned his head, looked at Li Si's clone, and asked, "Li Si, you are knowledgeable, do you know what this is?"
Li Si's clone stepped forward, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.
He examined the human skin carefully, and considering the situation in the village, his expression turned extremely grim.
He slowly said, "Your Majesty, it is highly likely that this was done by the Blood Demon. This should be an avatar of the Blood Demon, which feeds on the life essence of mortals to strengthen itself. When the avatar cultivates to a certain level, it will shed its skin, change the bones and muscles of that body, and become a body that is extremely suitable for cultivation, and possess independent consciousness. These Blood Demon avatars are extremely cruel. They live by feeding on the life essence of mortals. Every time they feed on the life essence of a person, their power will increase by one point."
Upon hearing this, Ying Xuan frowned even more deeply.
He knew the power of the Blood Demon well; if it really was the Blood Demon's doing, then this matter would become even more troublesome.
But he was puzzled, as he and the Darkness of the Three Realms had no connection with the Demon Realm.
Why would the Demon Realm send a Blood Demon to cause trouble at this time?
Could it be that... the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist sect made some kind of deal with the Demon Clan, allowing the module to make its move at this time?
Thinking of this possibility, Ying Xuan's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the aura of the human emperor around him began to ripple outwards.
After a moment of contemplation, Ying Xuan said, "In that case, I intend to go to the Demon Realm to investigate and see who in the Demon Realm is responsible. The Blood Demons and the Demon Realm have always had intricate connections, so perhaps they know some inside information."
Upon hearing this, Li Si's clone quickly said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Realm is extremely dangerous, full of perils and traps. You must not go there rashly. Why don't you let me go and investigate first, and then make a plan after I have a clear understanding of the situation? I will be careful and cautious, and will not alert the enemy."
Bai Qi also chimed in, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is absolutely right. The Demon Realm is fraught with danger, and the demons are fierce and brutal. I am worried about your safety. I am willing to go to the Demon Realm in Your Majesty's place, even if it means being shattered to pieces, I will never back down."
Ying Xuan waved his hand and said firmly, "There's no need to say more. This matter concerns the safety of Immortal Qin. As the ruler of Immortal Qin, I bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the Three Realms. How can I back down? Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. I am the chosen one by Heaven, how could I easily perish here?" Seeing that Ying Xuan's mind was made up, Li Si's clone and Bai Qi no longer tried to dissuade him.
They knew that once His Majesty made a decision, he would never easily change it.
His Majesty is resolute and determined to achieve his goals.
Therefore, Ying Xuan and the others prepared to go to the Demon Realm.
Before setting off, Ying Xuan instructed Bai Qi to return to Xianyang City and strengthen defenses to prevent the Demon Realm from launching a sneak attack.
Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and its safety must be ensured.
After receiving the order, Bai Qi took his leave.
However, on his way to the Demon Realm, Ying Xuan decided to go to the Underworld to ask the souls of those who had been murdered what had happened to them.
So Ying Xuan went directly to the underworld.
Upon arriving in the underworld, they went directly to the location of the Ten Kings of Hell.
The Ten Kings of Hell are now handling the cycle of life and death among mortals in an orderly manner.
Although the underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were removed by the Goddess Houtu, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had existed for a long time, and what was removed was merely the original form of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The original cycle of six realms of reincarnation still exists here.
As time has passed, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has recognized the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which is now a creation of Heaven and Earth.
It is the way of creation of heaven and earth.
Even if the Goddess Houtu came, she wouldn't be able to budge it in the slightest.
I just arrived at the King of Hell's palace.
He was currently reviewing documents, and was judging the souls of all the humans and demons who passed by.
And the one currently on trial is none other than Yama, the King of Hell.
The judge beside them was also explaining what these people had done wrong, and whether they should be reborn as animals or be able to reincarnate again.
As for Ying Xuan's appearance, neither of them noticed it at all.
It wasn't until the judge sensed a shadow behind him, turned around and glanced at it that he immediately dropped his judge's pen and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Great Emperor Qin!"
The moment the name of the Immortal Qin Emperor was revealed, even King Yama was startled and immediately knelt down from the top of the Yama Palace.
The little devils around them also knelt on the ground.
"Get up!"
Ying Xuan sat directly in the seat of the King of Hell, showing no courtesy whatsoever.
King Yama dared not say anything more, and had to bow and nod obsequiously. (End of Chapter)
