I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

"Nonsense!"

The Rakshasa Queen's cold shout echoed throughout the hall, her beautiful eyes flashing with anger. Her slender finger pointed directly at the Dark Abyss Demon King, her tone icy and chilling: "I already sent my men to scout Yinshan!"

"The Yin Mountains are now entirely occupied by the Underworld, whose army is at its peak, composed entirely of top-tier elite troops!"

"The remaining ghosts on Mount Yin have all been incorporated into and trained by the Underworld, and the Underworld army now exceeds seven million!"

"Such a scale and fighting strength, you call it nothing? Do you really think I'm a fool you can toy with?"

These words struck the Dark Abyss Demon King like a thunderbolt, leaving him completely stunned.

To everyone's surprise, the Rakshasa Queen never believed him from the start and secretly sent people to investigate the truth.

It is said that all Rakshasa demons are single-minded fools, but this Rakshasa Queen in front of us is clearly frighteningly shrewd!

"How dare you deceive me? Guards! Grab this wretched creature and throw him into the boiling oil!"

Before he finished speaking, two powerful Rakshasa warriors stepped forward, one on each side, and grabbed the Dark Abyss Demon King, dragging him out of the hall.

The Rakshasa Kingdom is notoriously cruel. Boiling oil cauldrons can be seen everywhere outside the palace. The oil in these cauldrons is specially made and can be used to refine ghosts.

Rakshasa demons crave to eat living people. Since there are no living people in the underworld, they feed on demons. Deep-fried demons are their favorite delicacy.

The thought of being refined and devoured terrified the Dark Abyss Demon King, who hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare me! I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied, I'll tell the truth, I dare not utter a single falsehood!"

The Rakshasa Queen's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "Bring her back."

The two Rakshasa demons exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with regret. They hadn't tasted the flavor of deep-fried demon immortals in a long time.

The Dark Abyss Demon King collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed with relief at surviving the ordeal.

He knew that every word he spoke next was a matter of life and death, so he dared not fabricate anything further and told the whole truth: the Yin army launched a surprise attack, set up a great formation to destroy the City of Horrors, and swept across the entire Yin Mountain region. He even dared not hide the fact that he had released Qiongqi to fight against the Yin army.

Upon hearing the truth, the ghosts in the hall were enraged, their roars shaking the roof of the hall.

"How dare the underworld be so arrogant!"

"How dare they deceive my Rakshasa Kingdom! Their hearts deserve to be condemned! Throw them straight into deep-frying!"

The Dark Abyss Demon King's statements were completely contradictory, and the ghosts were already furious. If it weren't for the Queen's caution, they would have really treated the Underworld as an easy target.

The Dark Abyss Demon King kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead bleeding profusely: "Your Majesty, I only dared to conceal the truth because I feared the Ghost Kingdom would become wary upon learning it. I have no ill intentions. In my heart, the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom will surely crush the Underworld!"

"You may have meant no harm, but you harbor the intention to use someone else to do your dirty work."

The Rakshasa Queen had already seen through him, and her tone was icy, "However, I will spare your life because I value your intelligence; perhaps you can offer me some advice."

The Rakshasa Kingdom is mostly populated by stubborn, reckless men. The Rakshasa Queen knows that the Dark Abyss Demon King's "petty cleverness" might come in handy.

The Dark Abyss Demon King, relieved to have escaped death, quickly advised, "I have already released Qiongqi. Its fighting power is immense; it will surely weaken the Underworld by drawing it into a mutually destructive conflict. My Ghost Kingdom can seize this opportunity to launch a war and will undoubtedly achieve a great victory!"

"Qiongqi?"

The Rakshasa Queen gently shook her head. "That beast is already severely injured and no longer as powerful as it once was. I'm afraid it won't be able to damage the foundation of the Underworld."

Neither the Rakshasa Queen nor the Dark Abyss Demon King ever imagined that Qiongqi would not only fail to harm the Underworld in the slightest, but would instead be subdued by Zhong Jiu, the Lord of the Underworld, and become his mount.

In their view, Qiongqi was an ancient ferocious beast with a violent nature, how could it possibly be subdued by humans?

This is simply a fantasy!

A glint of light flashed in the Rakshasa Queen's eyes, and she said with certainty, "Yinshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I will not lead my army to attack head-on; I will only use provocation to lure the Underworld into showing itself!"

"That invitation must have put the Lord of the Underworld in a dilemma. If he comes, knowing it's a terrible banquet and he'll surely die; if he doesn't come, he'll lose all face and become a laughingstock in the underworld!"

The Dark Abyss Demon King immediately flattered him, but inwardly he nodded in approval: This method seems simple, but it is actually perfectly timed. No matter what choice the Underworld makes, it will not benefit from it.

Neither he nor the Rakshasa Queen knew that their scheme would ultimately backfire and cause an irreparable disaster!

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

The Rakshasa Queen's birthday is a grand celebration for the entire Rakshasa Kingdom. The entire Rakshasa Kingdom is completely engrossed in revelry, with no taboos and all Rakshasa demons indulging in unrestrained behavior.

Countless oil cauldrons in the city boiled and bubbled. Rakshasa demons held aloft their captured demons, roaring as they threw them into the cauldrons, frying them until golden brown before dividing and eating them. The smell of blood and grease permeated the entire city.

Tyranny, cruelty, and bloodshed are the main themes of this royal capital.

If a moral guardian from the mortal realm were to arrive here, he would surely be furious and denounce the chaotic demonic dance as unbearable to behold, but the ghosts who come and go are used to it.

The Rakshasa demon race is inherently cruel and unrestrained, yet each of them possesses formidable combat power and is fearless in the face of death.

At the gates of the capital, the Dark Abyss Demon King was in charge of greeting guests. It was the Rakshasa Queen's birthday, and various ghost clans from the surrounding areas came to offer their congratulations, bringing gifts that were all "accompanying ghosts."

Companion ghosts are an anomaly in the underworld, completely out of place in this murderous and perilous place.

They are at the bottom of the food chain. Although they are ghosts, they have no fighting power and are unable to cultivate.

In the eyes of most underworld beings, companion spirits are like cats and dogs, harmless and useless; a few extreme individuals, when in a bad mood, will slaughter them as if they were ants to vent their anger; only a very few noble ghosts, due to their special tastes, will keep them as pets. Companion spirits, regardless of gender, are all handsome and pleasing to the eye.

However, in the eyes of the Rakshasa demons, the companion ghosts are the second best delicacy after the living.

They have never eaten human flesh, but they know from the memories of their ancestors that human flesh is the most delicious food in the world. This obsession has been passed down from generation to generation and is deeply ingrained in their bones.

Besides the legendary human flesh, the companion ghost is the most delicious food they have ever eaten. The companion ghost is both real and illusory, containing a faint spiritual energy in its body. It tastes fresh and fragrant, and has an endless aftertaste.

In an effort to curry favor with Queen Rakshasa, the forces that came to offer their birthday greetings captured a large number of spirit companions and sent them in a long procession to the capital.

The Rakshasa demons along the way were all drooling and their eyes were gleaming with greed; some even couldn't help but drool.

Seeing this, the Dark Abyss Demon King was filled with contempt and disdain: "A bunch of crude and barbaric bastards, do they think they can accomplish anything great?"

He had great ambitions; his refusal of the Rakshasa Queen's offer was because he was unwilling to submit to such a barbaric force.

But now, like a tiger fallen into the plains, he was ultimately forced to enter the capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom, becoming a prisoner.

Don't be fooled by his smiling and seemingly glamorous demeanor; he is actually under constant surveillance. If he shows even the slightest sign of trying to escape, he will be instantly killed.

Having learned his lesson from lying, and knowing full well that his reputation was ruined, the Dark Abyss Demon King could only obediently fulfill his duty of welcoming guests, daring not to make the slightest move.

"Damn the underworld! If it weren't for you, how could Grandpa have ended up in this state?"

The Dark Abyss Demon King was filled with boundless hatred, blaming all his misfortunes on the Underworld.

"The invitations have been sent. Grandpa wants to see if you dare to come!"

He glanced into the distance from time to time, his eyes full of anticipation. This birthday banquet was an open conspiracy. The Rakshasa King had already laid a trap. If the Lord of the Underworld came, he would have no chance of escape; if he did not come, he would lose face and be ridiculed by the major powers, becoming a laughing stock in the underworld.

"This Rakshasa Queen is quite cunning. With her around, the Rakshasa demon race might truly rise to power."

The Dark Abyss Demon King pondered to himself that in the past, the Rakshasa demons were all brutes with little intelligence, making them easy to deal with. But now, the Rakshasa Queen has appeared, leading her people with her shrewdness and strength, and establishing a powerful force.

He could tell that this woman also had great ambitions; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to become an enemy of the underworld.

Could it be that she also wants to take over Fengdu in the underworld, seize the underworld's fortune, and become the ruler of the underworld?

The Dark Abyss Demon King waited and waited, eagerly anticipating a good show, but the guests had all arrived, while there was still no movement from the Underworld. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Just then, a Rakshasa demon approached, drooling and chewing on food scraps, and mumbled, "The Queen invites you."

The Dark Abyss Demon King inwardly scorned him, but outwardly feigned being flattered, and hurriedly followed the Rakshasa demon toward the main hall.

Inside the main hall, all the various factions were already seated and enjoying the "delicacies" meticulously prepared by the Rakshasa demon clan.

The Dark Abyss Demon King glanced at it hastily, then stepped forward with small, quick steps and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The Rakshasa Queen, still dressed in red, possessed unparalleled beauty, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes as she asked in a deep voice, "The Underworld, hasn't it come?"

The Dark Abyss Demon King nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, no one from the Underworld has come yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rakshasa demons in the hall burst into laughter, their eyes full of disdain.
