Evil of all ages

Chapter 106 Stop losses in time
"There are too many ignorant people. Before, with Di Qingtian around, the prison was relatively peaceful."

"Once he leaves, people become like curious cats, always unable to resist coming to seek excitement."

"I don't care about seeking thrills, because they'll all end up being mine anyway."

"What annoys me are those who come here to court death, like you, who came up and immediately transferred all the prisoners out of the Heavenly Prison, leaving it empty."

“I’m a prison guard. Do you know that what you’re doing is jeopardizing my livelihood?”

"In order to prevent anyone from courting death in the future, the prison needs a protective umbrella. Since Di Qingtian is not here, you will be the one to provide that protection."

Huang Taichu said with a smile.

"I want to know what your purpose is?"

"Also, eight hundred years ago, when that extraterrestrial demon spoke of the next extraterrestrial demon to descend upon our world, was he referring to you?"

When Ye Wuji saw that Huang Taichu did not recognize the extraterrestrial demon from eight hundred years ago, he became curious whether extraterrestrial demons also had different factions.

Some extraterrestrial demons are organized, while others are wild.

"I have only one goal: to enjoy myself!"

"Enjoy happiness, enjoy life, enjoy all the good things in the world."

"As for your second question, it depends on the situation."

“If that extraterrestrial demon from eight hundred years ago was organized, he said that the next extraterrestrial demon to descend upon this world would definitely not be me.”

"If he had no organization, he would have let out a powerless roar before he died."

"Part of it may have been to frighten people at the time, in an attempt to keep you living in unease for generations to come."

"Another possibility is: it might actually be referring to me!?"

Huang Taichu realized that by raising Gu in this world, he was essentially using all living beings in this world as "nourishment," making him probably the greatest threat to this world.

If the existence of extraterrestrial demons is solely for destruction and self-interest, then they are certainly not good people.

It's not impossible that it refers to him.

"thump"

Ye Wuji knelt down on both knees in front of Huang Taichu.

Hearing Huang Taichu say that he enjoys all the good things in the world.

He already had the answer.

The prerequisite for enjoying all the good things in the world is not to destroy it.

The fact that this extraterrestrial demon stayed obediently in the Heavenly Prison indicates that it had no ambition.

This is a kind-hearted extraterrestrial demon.

Such extraterrestrial demons could serve as guardian deities for their world.

If an evil extraterrestrial demon were to descend, this benevolent extraterrestrial demon could be sent to fight against it.

As long as their world is protected, it doesn't matter if this extraterrestrial demon wants to kill the emperor and change the dynasty.

"In the Heavenly Prison, call me Lord Yama. In other places, call me Ghost King, Ghost Emperor, Black Emperor, or whatever you like."

Seeing that Ye Wuji didn't know how to address him, he revealed his many titles.

Hearing that the extraterrestrial demon was also the Ghost Emperor, the controller of the Ghost Market, Ye Wuji was not surprised. Such an existence having multiple identities was not normal.

"Lord Yama, what should I do next?"

Ye Wuji asked.

"Restore the prison to its original state as it was before. As for how to explain it to the outside world, you can come up with your own reasons."

After Huang Taichu finished speaking, he vanished into thin air.

Ye Wuji discovered that his dormant power had been restored, so he called Yi Xingze and Hou Ziping in from outside.

They were instructed to return the original prisoners and guards of this prison, and Liu Yidao arranged for the best doctors to treat them and even improved their treatment.

The sixth prince doesn't need to worry about him; send him back and throw him directly into the prison.

"Director, if we do this, people outside might laugh at you for being afraid of the 'Ghost King' of the Heavenly Prison, which would damage your reputation."

Yi Xingze didn't know why the director had the prison restored to its original state, but the director's actions would have a significant impact.

"Don't worry about what other people think, just do as I say."

"Furthermore, from now on, whether it's a wanted criminal caught by the ghostwriter or a scoundrel caught by our Zhenwu Division."

"Anyone above the Acquired Realm will be imprisoned in this Heavenly Prison."

After giving the order, Ye Wuji turned and left.

"What's going on? Logically speaking, the director shouldn't have made such a decision?"

Yi Xingze frowned. Having followed his director for so long, he knew his director better than anyone else. This was not a decision his director should make.

"Say something! Has the Director already met the so-called Ghost King? Was it the Ghost King who forced the Director to do this?" Yi Xingze asked Hou Ziping when he saw that Hou Ziping was silent.

Hou Ziping remained silent, but he pointed to the dust on the ground.

Upon seeing the dust on the ground, Yi Xingze's pupils contracted involuntarily; he guessed what it was.

There are no tea tables or tea sets here; it is clear that the tea tables and chairs have been reduced to dust.

This indicates that their director has already clashed with an unknown entity.

That's not the point. The point is that they didn't notice anything amiss outside.

How could this be? Even the slightest hint of a Grandmaster's aura is enough to send chills down their spines.

But they didn't notice anything, which already says a lot.

"Don't ask anything, don't worry about anything, just follow instructions."

Hou Ziping left a message and then arranged for people to carry out the task.

"Could there really be a Ghost King?"

Yi Xingze looked up and around. All he saw was darkness, endless darkness. A chill ran through him, making him shiver involuntarily.

Now, he dared not think about anything anymore.

He quickly left the prison, determined never to enter it again unless absolutely necessary.

When the Southern City Prison was restored to its original state, it surprised all the major powers.

Ye Wuji is a Grandmaster-level expert. In less than a day, he restored the South City Prison to its original state. Could it be that the South City Prison truly contains a Ghost King?

That's what forced Ye Wuji to back down.

For a time, countless forces were filled with both fear and dread regarding the Southern City Prison.

The Grand Prince's Residence

"Is the South City Prison really that sinister? The sixth and seventh brothers met their ends because they targeted the Ghost King's son, and now even Ye Wuji is..."

The eldest prince, Li Wukong, was both curious and terrified of the Heavenly Prison in the south of the city.

Shen Zhonghe, who was standing to the side, remained silent, his eyes narrowed as if he were lost in thought.

"Mr. Shen, how about cooperating with the Ghost Market? Are you confident you can get the Ghost Emperor's support?"

Because the Heavenly Prison in the South City was too sinister, Li Wukong chose to avoid contact for the time being to be on the safe side. Gaining the support of the Ghost Emperor was the top priority.

"Cooperation is no problem. We're even losing money to cooperate with them, so why would they refuse?"

"It's just that the Ghost Market's attitude towards us is inconsistent. It seems like they only enjoy the benefits we bring them and are unwilling to put in any effort to help us."

Shen Zhonghe frowned deeply.

"Does this indicate that I want to see their Ghost Emperor?"

Li Wukong didn't want all his efforts to be wasted; he wanted to try again.

"They said they would make arrangements, but so far there has been no movement. It's obvious that their Ghost Emperor doesn't want to see us."

Shen Zhonghe replied.

"hateful"

Realizing that his efforts had not only been in vain, but he had also been tricked, Li Wukong couldn't help but curse.

"If we don't see any results, then..."

Li Wukong wanted to cut his losses in time.

"No, we cannot unilaterally sever cooperation; we must actively complete the cooperation agreement."

Shen Zhonghe said.

"What?"

"If we don't cut our losses in time, are we going to be fools and keep spending money and effort on them?"

Li Wukong was displeased. Was Shen Zhonghe really advising him, or was he a member of the Ghost Market?

"Severing cooperation abruptly will displease the people in the Ghost Market and could easily push them to the Third Prince's side."

"We want to cut our losses in time, but we also need to withdraw gradually. If we do it too quickly, we'll hurt ourselves."

Shen Zhonghe explained patiently.

Upon hearing this, Li Wukong understood and said that he had lost control of his emotions just now, and asked Shen Zhonghe to keep an eye on things.

Royal Palace
Palace of Eternal Life

This hall was where the old emperor refined elixirs.

Ye Wuji was brought in by the eunuch.
