Me and countless me.

Chapter 224: The Young and Reckless

"Brother Sun is so amazing! He doesn't even give face to the Emperor of the Underworld!"

The Dragon Demon King on the side couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised the monkey for being awesome.

But will he report it?

Can you pack it up?

He was just collecting protection fees. His relationship with the Dragon Palace was not very good. Why did he provoke the newly appointed King of the Underworld? Was he dissatisfied with the low performance of the Thunder Department, or did he think that the Ten Kings of Hell and the Taoist priests in the world who were waiting for merit to come to them had nothing to do? Or was it that his head was dissatisfied with his neck and wanted to move to another place?
"Yeah, yeah, brother is awesome!"

The Demon King Peng on the side also echoed the words. After all, the monkey was in high spirits, and if his master didn't say anything, what else could he say?
The monkey's skills were obviously taught by a great master. Maybe his master didn't allow him to go? Why would he, who came to the party to drink and make friends, get involved in the conspiracy?
As for saying that monkeys don’t understand this?
Are you kidding? Anyone who can cultivate to this level has gone through thousands of years of practice. Anyone who doesn’t understand this would have died long ago, okay?

Do you really think these monsters are legal?

Which one of them is not robbing houses, collecting protection fees, tolls, or even colluding with some practitioners?

They are already on the blacklist of the Ministry of Thunder. The Heavenly Court only blacklisted them because they have not done too many evil things. Although the little demons under their command are rampant, they will still pay when they go to the human world to buy things. There are many demons more evil than them, and they can still control the demons and prevent them from fighting each other. So the Heavenly Court did not intervene. Now they are meddling in the affairs of the powerful ones. Isn't this seeking death?
If they were really that powerful, why didn't they attack the Han Dynasty? Did they not want to enjoy the life of an emperor? Did they prefer to live in some remote countryside, valleys, or caves?
The little monsters don't have much magical power. As long as humans are brave enough, one can beat two, not to mention the heavens!
Therefore, Demon King Peng thought that since Monkey did not even give face to the newly appointed Emperor of the Yin World, who was so powerful, then he must be really powerful!
Either his background is awesome, or he is really awesome.

Let’s not talk about anything else. The monkeys in the group have been eating pine and cypress since they were young and have never eaten humans. They look like they have a fairy-like aura all over their bodies. Who would believe that they have no background?
Instead of worrying about him, I might as well worry about whether the king next to my territory will pay me. Last time, I smuggled a batch of silk and tea from the Han Dynasty for him, but he hasn't paid me yet. When I asked, he said he was selling the goods. But when I went to ask for payment last time, I found that he had already started building temples in his country.

"This is not a good sign. This kid might be trying to rob his fellow thieves..."

So when Demon King Peng spoke, he was not paying much attention and was only thinking about his own business.

The other great saints were the same, after all, they all came here out of respect for the Bull Demon King and because the monkey was really amazing. Basically, they all thought that the monkey was just bragging at this time and would still have to give some gifts to the land god and city god and then add his name to the list.

After all, it’s not a big deal and it doesn’t take much time. Just let your people do it.

It is nothing more than reporting one’s level of cultivation and how long one has lived.

As for whether this information will be used by the Heaven and the Underworld?
What? Is it true that even if the Heaven and the Underworld want to investigate, they can’t find it?
Those with great supernatural powers are retired, not dead!
But the Bull Demon King, who had the most contact with the monkey, saw that the many demon saints were all perfunctory and really liked this little brother, so he spoke up and gave him a little reminder.

"Brother, the Emperor of the Underworld is a man of great merit, and was personally appointed by the Great Celestial Venerable. He is a figure on par with the Five Elders of the Five Directions. If you act like this right after he takes office, you might get yourself into trouble."

He also had the same concerns as Demon King Peng and Demon King Jiao, so he just gave them a reminder instead of letting the monkey deal with it directly.

He has a family and depends on the Han Silk Road for his livelihood. He collects protection fees and protects the caravans along the way, so he cannot be reminded too obviously.

Because when I knew that the Emperor of the Underworld had not completely left the world of the living and was suspected to be the current leader of the Han Dynasty, I really did not intend to offend him.

If he offends someone in the underworld, he will be captured by the gods and ghosts. If he offends someone in the world of the living, he will not be able to eat. He has a family and cannot afford to offend anyone.

However, at this moment, Sun Wukong had already been flattered by the halfhearted boasting of Peng Demon King and others. He patted his chest and spoke without any concern.

"I, Sun, have achieved success in my cultivation. I have done what gods and Buddhas do. Why would I care about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors or the Five Elders of the Five Directions? Not to mention that he is the Son of the Underworld, even if he is the Jade Emperor, I would not pay much attention to him! Brother, why are you saying such a spoiling thing!"

In the past few days since he came back, he has been catching monsters and demons, standing up for his monkeys and grandchildren, and even went to the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea to steal weapons and armor. Didn't the old Dragon King obediently give them to him?

If he has completed his cultivation but cannot be free and has to be subject to restrictions, what kind of immortal is he?
What the hell is, what does it matter!
"Hey, brother, you..."

The Bull Demon King wanted to say something, but the monkey had already taken the wine and started scolding him.

"Oh, big brother, why are you worrying about this? I'll talk to him later! I know what to do and what not to do! We are brothers in this life, so treat me like a brother and don't say this to spoil the fun!"

Sun Wukong smiled and took the Bull Demon King's hand and continued drinking. Seeing that the monkey was completely fearless, the Bull Demon King felt that the monkey should really know what was going on.

After all, with this ability and this background, it is enough for him to be an official in heaven. He is definitely not a wild monster and must be the disciple of a powerful master.

There is no way that Sun Wukong, who is so powerful, doesn't know this trick.

Therefore, the Bull Demon King put aside his grudges and continued to drink with Sun Wukong.

And what about Li Ke?

He is killing people.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill them all. Yes, kill them both."

Li Ke looked at Liu Xiu who was commanding with a sword in hand, the Wang family mansion littered with corpses, and the Western Han emperor who was being held hostage, and could not help but shake his head.

"The world will be in chaos next."

Knowing that Liu Xiu was leading a musketeer team, and vaguely aware that the twenty-eight generals under her command had extraordinary origins, Li Ke knew that he was in a safe position this time.

So he simply came up with the idea of ​​clearing out the court. He and his wife raised an army, and then swept across the four directions, directly expelling these insects.

As a result, the Yin family was dragged onto the path of rebellion in a confused manner.

But the one who was faster was Li Ke.

They got married on the first day, and that night they were dragged to the underworld and forced to work there for three years. Then they started rebelling on the second day. The most striking thing was that it was a surprise.

When he was underground, he had paid attention to the information of these Han nobles and aristocratic families. He knew all their weaknesses and past crimes through the Book of Life and Death, so he had no mercy at all. When he came back and told Liu Xiu about it, the girl agreed to start killing.

Five thousand fully armored soldiers could not have been brought in if they were not from the Wang family. However, the Wang family was unable to control these soldiers, so both sides were caught off guard.

Moreover, since he knew that he was destined to be the emperor, Liu Xiu also helped to set up musketeers and artillery, and had sufficient supplies.

What else is there to say?

Just push it flat.

"Unfortunately, some nobles and families still have to stay. The previous foundation was still too weak, but it was enough. But now, we have to see who else will jump out."

Li Ke watched as several generals who were obviously the incarnations of the twenty-eight constellations were leading the soldiers who were chasing after the guilty families and nobles, as well as those who were selected by him and had not done anything wrong. He waved his sleeves and began his speech.

"I know that many of you here don't treat civilians as human beings, but I would like to advise you that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If you want to survive, then be more peaceful in the future. I don't want the emperor to start a massacre."

The trembling nobles, officials, and aristocratic families were shaking as they watched Li Ke order the massacre of all the ministers in the court. Especially the corrupt aristocratic families who were stabbed several times by Li Ke. After hearing these words, they struggled to get up, and then pointed at Li Ke and cursed him.

"Wang Mang! You killed more than 130 members of my family. You will not die a good death! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go! Just wait! I will come back to find you! I will bring the ghosts of my entire family to find you!"

After saying this, the man stared at Li Ke with his bloodshot eyes and died just like that. He was full of resentment after his death, and someone next to him even heard his wailing after his death.

So these people all moved away, becoming even more terrified. Li Ke pulled out the pistol that Liu Xiu had brought, and shot the man in the head, causing the back of his head to fly off, with brain matter and blood splattering everywhere.

After doing all this, Li Ke looked at those frightened people and smiled widely.

"Well... as long as you are happy. Well, if any of you want to become a ghost to take revenge on me, you are always welcome."

As he said this, he glanced at the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Impermanence standing guard nearby and nodded.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon, start arresting people immediately!

The underworld three days later——

"Wang Mang!!! You will die a horrible death!!"

Li Ke's uncle Wang Feng, who was led to the Yama Hall by the Black and White Impermanence, kept shouting this sentence angrily, because he was the first one to be liquidated by Li Ke.

So he decided that when he saw King Yama, or the Emperor Yin of the underworld, he would immediately tell him about Wang Mang's unfilial behavior and then apply to return to the soul to cause trouble for Wang Mang.

When he was brought into a hall, Wang Feng fell to the ground and shouted loudly!

"Please, sir, do something for me! My nephew Wang Mang disregarded my kindness in promoting and nurturing me, and disregarded the relationship between family members and the order of seniority. He actually killed me and committed treason! I hope you will do something for me! Allow me to return to Yang to seek revenge!"

These were things that the gods hated very much. At least Wang Feng felt that the gods would definitely hate these things very much. However, before he could finish his words, he was hit with two sticks by the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters behind him. His soul was shaken so much that he couldn't help but lie on the ground. Then, he heard a sentence.

"Your Highness, who are you, suing me?"

Wang Feng looked up in astonishment, and then saw his nephew Wang Mang sitting leisurely behind the desk, looking at him with amusement, and he was even wearing the emperor's gorgeous clothes!
"you!"

Wang Feng opened his eyes wide, but Li Ke was already used to it. In the past few days, he had been dealing with ghosts that he had sent down, so he was used to it.

But Wang Feng was not like that. But before he could say anything, the judge on the side immediately took out his magic weapon and shouted at him.

"Wang Feng! Why don't you confess the evil deeds you have done in this life? If you hide even a little bit, you will go to the hell of tongue-twisting!"

This is the normal process in the underworld. All ghosts have this opportunity. If they confess the evil deeds they have done in their lives and repent, their sentence will be slightly reduced.

After all, this is a world where reincarnation is possible, and repentance is indeed a more important thing.

But how to determine the sentence still depends on Li Ke and King Yama, it’s just that the laws of the underworld are a little abstract.

The more abstract one that Li Ke had seen was that if one casually cursed someone, one would be sent to the hell of tongue-pulling. Such a punishment was really too perverted and harsh, so he had been sorting out materials and preparing to revise the laws of the underworld.

In fact, Li Ke revised some laws that were obviously selfish or completely anti-human.

However, Li Ke did not modify the law that stipulated leniency to those who confessed and severity to those who resisted.

After all, some people make mistakes unintentionally or it is just coincidence. It would be satisfying to beat them all to death, but it is indeed inhumane.

The gods of the Celestial Empire also need to show a little humanity.

However, Wang Feng did not appreciate it at all. He looked at Li Ke with red eyes, and even his ghost began to twist because of the huge resentment.

"Wang Mang! Taoist Li Ke! You little bastard! Why! Why are you on top! I..."

But before he could continue cursing, the little devil on the side slapped him twice, smashing his cheeks and tongue into pieces, and then the judge yelled.

"Refuse to confess! Begin the interrogation!"

He took out the Mirror of Sin, the Mirror of the Heart, the Whip of Truth, and the Book of Life and Death and began to check the past sins of his uncle Li Ke.

It’s just that the process is not very friendly, it really wants to dig out your heart and brain to watch.

The acting King of Hell on the side looked at Wang Feng's miserable condition, thought for a while, and then asked.

"Your Majesty, your relatives can reduce their sins..."

Li Ke is the emperor of the underworld and has certain privileges.

But Li Ke just waved his hand.

"No need, just enforce the law impartially. In the underworld, there is no family affection, only underworld laws. Good and evil will be rewarded."

Li Ke really had no resentment towards this uncle who always wanted to control him as a puppet, but he also had no feelings for him. He just handled everything impartially.

In the end, his uncle Wang Feng was sentenced to the eighth level of hell because of his various disregards for human life, but Li Ke watched the whole process without saying a word.

After all, this should actually be the office of the King of Hell, but since it concerns him, he needs to be present.

But today was destined to be a day when more people would cause trouble for him, because the next ghost was another termite.

"Your Majesty! I want to sue Wang Mang for being unkind, unjust, and a traitor! He is a beast raised by my mother!"

The judge on the side almost laughed out loud, and Li Ke rolled his eyes at him, then spoke again.

"Who is it, Your Highness, that is suing me?"

The process still needs to be followed.

It took Li Ke a lot of time to deal with the ghosts he sent down. In addition, other great gods came to hand over the ghosts under their command, or sent explanatory documents, so Li Ke had no time to take care of Sun Wukong's affairs.

After all, the notification has been going on for three consecutive days. As long as Sun Wukong has a normal mind and talks to his messenger, he will know that the new Yin Tianzi is him and will naturally be sensible.

Compared to this, he needed to quickly stabilize the underworld and the situation on his side, and for the moment he really had no time to think about the monkey.

He has been so busy lately that he has actually considered moving his office to the eighteenth level of hell!
However, Li Ke never expected that while he was handling official business, Sun Wukong was actually able to drive away the local god and the city god for three consecutive days!
So, after the banquet, the drunken Sun Wukong sent away Bull Demon King and others, then lay on a rock. Suddenly he felt sleepy and fell asleep directly.

But vaguely, he seemed to hear someone calling his name, so in a trance, he followed two figures, one black and one white.

Then when he reacts,

It’s the underworld!
