After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.
Chapter 541 The Strongest Alliance? No, there's a traitor!
At the other end of the well, the divine messenger remained silent for a moment.
"Open the deepest part of the black coffin, and I will personally retrieve the soul."
Zhou Ran deliberately hesitated:
"My Lord, the Nine Netherworld Black Coffin has been corrupted by Zhou Ran's remnant soul."
If you enter personally, the rules of the Heart Inquiry may lock your identity. Your subordinate is willing to try again; at most half an hour, I will be able to extract the coordinates.
This advice, when heard by the divine messenger, only confirmed that there was something important hidden inside the coffin.
"A mere remnant coffin from the demon realm dares to examine me?"
The wellhead was pried open again.
An arm wearing a white bone glove was fully inserted into the coffin, followed by a body covered in a black and gold robe.
The divine messenger had no facial features, only a vertical slit in his eye.
Twelve imperial bone tokens hung from the bottom of the robe, each connected to a different cross-realm path.
His cultivation level had completely entered the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage.
The divine messenger stepped into the black coffin, but did not rashly approach the false soul.
He raised his hand and grabbed forward, causing all twelve tokens to light up simultaneously, attempting to seal off the entire space inside the coffin.
The hidden layer of the Netherworld where Zhou Ran was hiding was peeled away layer by layer.
The first layer is broken.
The third layer is broken.
Even after the eighth level disappeared, the divine messenger still hadn't discovered Zhou Ran's true form.
His eyes slowly narrowed: "Swallowing Bones, where are you?"
The final layer of ghostly aura dissipated.
Zhou Ran stood at the end of the black coffin, holding the execution order personally delivered by the divine messenger in his hand.
The blood from the source of the bone broke off from the coffin wall and flowed into the half-broken white bone pen.
Behind the divine messenger, Jiuyou slammed his palm down on the well opening.
The black coffin and the Nine Nether Well closed simultaneously.
The formless domain of the illusory sound surged in from all directions, and thousands of bone-devouring soul sounds filled the coffin.
The divine messenger's senses were repeatedly washed away by the true and false origins, making it impossible for him to pinpoint the exit for a time.
The bloodthirsty spear pierced into the spatial passage, and the source of the blood sea swept along the well wall, severing the retreat route connected by the twelve imperial bone tokens one by one.
Qin San drew his sword at the final juncture.
As the Taihuang Black Blade struck down, the spatial coordinates left by the divine messenger when he entered the black coffin shattered instantly.
The eyes of the divine messenger suddenly opened.
"Zhou Ran!"
Zhou Ran withdrew the Bone-Swallowing Soul Sound and placed the Execution Order at the bottom of the coffin.
"Since the divine messenger personally delivered the order and also came to the scene, it would seem as if the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace did not know the rules if I did not receive him."
The execution order attempted to fly back to the divine messenger's hands.
The broken bone pen has already added a line of text to the order.
The person holding the order must first verify their eligibility to carry it out.
The divine messenger raised his palm and struck Zhou Ran.
In the later stages of the tribulation, the demonic energy pressed the black coffin inward, causing the Netherworld barrier in front of Zhou Ran to crumble layer by layer.
Jiuyou was outside the coffin, enduring the recoil, and black blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
She still held the coffin tightly, not letting go of any gap.
"This coffin won't hold him for long."
Zhou Ran, you only have one chance to make the Imperial Decree take effect!
The divine messenger's palm was only three zhang away from Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran did not back down.
He placed the previously filed testimonies of the phantom sound, the black gold nails, and the blood wine ashes into the execution order one by one.
All three pieces of evidence point to the executor.
The bright red character "诛" (zhu, meaning to execute) on the execution order has cracked.
The Emperor's Rule sensed that the divine messenger had bypassed the trial process, destroyed testimonies without authorization, and used the Rift Mountain to send and cleanse the ashes, and began to reverse-verify his identity.
All twelve imperial bone tokens on the divine messenger's body were extinguished.
The protective laws covering his body were forcibly stripped away by the execution order, revealing a body made of gray-white bones beneath the robe.
The divine messenger's outstretched hand stopped in front of Zhou Ran's brow.
For the first time, he showed emotional fluctuation: "You used the Emperor's Prince's execution warrant to investigate the Emperor's Prince's envoy. Aren't you afraid that after the rules confirm my identity, they'll eliminate you first?"
Zhou Ran raised his hand and grabbed the white bone glove that had lost the protection of the laws.
"If it can truly verify your identity, why are you afraid of it investigating?"
The Taihuang Black Blade pierced through the coffin from outside, its blade penetrating the divine messenger's shoulder bone, pinning him before the execution order.
Illusory Sound's soul-capturing power sealed his sea of consciousness, while Bloodlust used Blood Pact Chains to bind the twelve Emperor Bone Tokens.
Jiuyou raised his hand and pressed down, causing all the rules of the Black Coffin's Inquiry into the Heart to turn towards the Divine Envoy.
The protective laws of the divine messenger were peeled away layer by layer, turning into black and gold chains that bound his limbs.
He looked down at the censorship brand that had been lit up on his chest and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"You think you can protect the Sixth Heaven by capturing me?"
The divine messenger raised his face, devoid of features, and his slits swept across Jiuyou, Huanyin, Shixue, and Zhou Ran in turn.
"Of the four of you, one of you has already sold the Sixth Heaven to the Emperor's son."
The atmosphere inside the black coffin suddenly froze.
The spear in the Bloodthirsty man's hand first turned towards the divine messenger's throat bone, then stopped in mid-air.
She didn't look at Huanyin and Jiuyou, but the Blood Sea Origin quietly sealed off three zhang behind her.
With just one sentence, the divine messenger tore a rift of suspicion between the four.
The Nine Netherworlds are the most suspicious.
The Nine Nether Well contains the list of imperial princes, and divine messengers have also descended through the well. The fact that Chi Lin and his companions were able to obtain the array diagram at the bottom of the well is also inseparable from the Nine Nether Domain.
Even Huan Yin could not completely clear his name of suspicion.
She voluntarily entered Zhou Ran's sea of consciousness, was the first to come into contact with the Emperor's Hidden Nail, and also gained control of 30,000 Illusionary Demon Guards.
If she deliberately left coordinates during the soul verification, the unified military register would have been exposed long ago.
The bloodthirsty third cup of wine was mixed with ashes.
After she handed over the Blood Sea Domain Lord's Seal to Zhou, the Divine Envoy's rules had the opportunity to enter the Three Domains Military Register.
As for Zhou Ran, he had already been marked by the Emperor's son, and had even personally combined the military registers of the four regions into one volume.
The divine messenger glanced at the subtle wariness of the group, a mocking glint appearing in his eyes:
"The Emperor's son has already obtained all the array diagrams of the Six Heavens. What you have captured today is merely an executor's body."
Seven days later, the decree to erase names will be issued, and all names in the military registers of the four regions will disappear.
"If you release the black coffin now, I can keep the name of one of them."
As for the other three, they'll be useful in completing the record of the emperor's purge.
Jiuyou raised his palm and pressed it against the top of the divine messenger's head, and the deathly aura of the underworld drilled into his sea of consciousness.
The moment the memory was touched, a black and gold seal of silence rose from the divine messenger's soul fire.
Sensing the external force probing, the Silence Seal caused the soul fire within the divine messenger's chest to rapidly collapse.
As long as Jiuyou continues to search for souls, this executor body will be burned along with all its memories.
Jiuyou withdrew his hand, his expression growing even colder: "He is bound by the Imperial Court's Silence-Banning Law. Any information involving the Imperial Prince's plans will trigger self-destruction."
Qin San walked up to the divine messenger and took out a bronze mirror that recorded the fluctuations of the soul fire.
"Your Majesty, since his words will trigger the silencing order, let's not let him speak. I will record his soul fire, his eyes, and his reaction to the imperial decree; at least that will help me determine which issues frighten him."
Zhou Ran glanced at the bronze mirror: "The silencing rule prevents leaks, it won't stop him from hearing the questions. Silence him and change the question-and-answer format to true/false."
The god's eyes twitched slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
This did not escape Qin San's notice.
Qin San placed the bronze mirror in front of the divine messenger, pressing the scabbard against his chin: "You can remain silent, but your soul fire doesn't seem to have learned to close its eyes."
Huanyin walked to the center of the black coffin.
She raised her hand, and hundreds of overlapping soul sounds transformed into questions that were both true and false.
The first set of questions simultaneously entered the divine messenger's sea of consciousness.
