I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

He now understood that Lin Yi not only wanted to kill him, but also wanted him to suffer a terrible fate after death.

"You'll get your comeuppance!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Judge Lu exploded on his own.

Lin Yi realized this time that the explosion was caused by him releasing all his power, rather than by external force.

This is completely different from the judge Cui from before.

Judge Cui must have wanted to say something, but before he could utter a word, he died.

Lin Yi guessed that the official level of this secret shouldn't be very high; at least in Cui Pan's eyes, it should be something that could be discussed.

But in reality, this was a very important secret. Because Cui Pan wanted to tell it, he broke a taboo and died on the spot.

It's a bit impressive, and a bit terrifying, but Lin Yi already has a plan.

For many things, if you make bold assumptions and then carefully verify them, you will eventually find the answer.

The only truly mysterious figures in the underworld right now are Houtu Niangniang and the Central Ghost Emperor.

Lin Yi decided to speculate that Zhang Jiao must have some connection with the Earth Mother Goddess.

It's hard to say whether it's the person in question, but at least he's a successor.

That's why she used someone else to do her dirty work, and why she came to the underworld to stir up trouble. Perhaps she wanted to seize something.

Most likely, it's something related to Houtu Niangniang.

After all, Lin Yi is already fighting against someone of the level of the Goddess of Mount Tai. If Zhang Jiao is only after the Central Ghost Emperor, it would be a waste to use such a powerful pawn like him.

Unfortunately, these guesses were difficult to verify, and Lin Yi had no way to verify them for the time being, so he had no choice but to pull the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess into hiding again.

He didn't go far, but hid on the spot.

Presumably, Yama, the King of Hell, will receive the news and send people to search this place.

If the newcomer is not strong, Lin Yi can decide to kill Yama and completely seize control of the Yama Palace.

If the attacker is too powerful, he will not show himself. After the attacker searches, he will subconsciously assume that the attacker has already escaped, which will give him a temporary safe place.

Lingyi didn't know what Lin Yi was up to, but she didn't mind being alone with him.

Time passed by, and the Abyss of Exile remained calm and peaceful, with no Yin spirits coming to investigate.

Even if Yama, the King of Hell, didn't know that the Yin God had died, shouldn't other Yin Gods have come here to investigate?

Lin Yi was unaware that the ghost soldiers and generals he had released, after their frantic escape, did not seek refuge in other Yama Palaces, nor did they return to Yama Palaces; instead, they fled on their own.

This is because their status is the same as that of soldiers in the human world; in the underworld system, their status is too low.

The head coach is dead, most of your colleagues are dead, and you're the only ones who came back alive. Is there something wrong with you?

They will not receive any care when they return; instead, they will face suspicion, torture, or even death.

Since that's the case, I might as well run away.

While their strength may not be particularly high within the underworld's system, they are certainly capable of finding a place to live out their remaining years in the vast underworld.

They were all unregistered ghost messengers and soldiers, so there was no problem with them running away.

This is why news of the Abyss of Exile did not leak out.

Lin Yi wanted to leak the secret, but there was no one to leak it.

At this moment, Yama, who already knew that something terrible was about to happen, was so frightened that he was completely at a loss.

Because he sensed that he had lost control of the power of the Yama Palace lineage.

He wanted to secretly promote some more underworld generals to command, only to discover that the King of Hell's decree could no longer appoint other deities.

This can only illustrate one problem.

Those powers already have owners.

However, he could not use his power to directly kill those who were competing with him for the Great Dao.

That's the scariest thing.

King Yama was already afraid; he was even afraid that Lin Yi would come knocking on his door, so he quickly did the same thing as last time.

"We must seek help from the Bodhisattva..."

Chapter 551 Slaying Gods

Yama, the King of Hell, quickly made up his mind. At this point, he could only turn to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for help.

For a king, the loss of power is more terrifying than death.

Immediately, he dared not tell anyone and quietly set off alone for the Ksitigarbha Palace.

Halfway there, he suddenly saw a convoy of carriages. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the Western Ghost Emperor.

Since Yama had already revealed his presence, he naturally had to greet the Ghost Emperor upon seeing him.

The Western Ghost Emperor then asked from inside the tent, "Where is Yama going on this journey?"

"Xiao Wang has a question that is perplexing him, and he wishes to seek the help of the Bodhisattva to resolve it."

Even Yama, the King of Hell, dared not reveal the secret before the Western Ghost Emperor.

The Western Ghost Emperor said, "That's really unfortunate. I just came out of the Bodhisattva's palace and didn't see the Bodhisattva. It is said that the Bodhisattva sensed something unusual at the Abyss of Exile and went to investigate in person."

If you are truly in a hurry, you may go to the Abyss of Exile to search for it. If you are not in a hurry, you should go back and wait, and not disturb the Bodhisattva.

"Xiao Wang understands."

King Yama agreed, but he was secretly pleased. His subordinates had all gone to the Abyss of Exile, and they must have been killed by villains there.

The Bodhisattva must have sensed something to go to the Abyss of Exile to investigate.

If that villain were still alive, he certainly wouldn't escape the Bodhisattva's suppression. He could also go there and reclaim his power.

Immediately, Yama, the King of Hell, dared not delay and immediately changed direction, flying towards the Abyss of Exile.

Watching him leave, the Western Ghost Emperor let out a cold laugh.

In the blink of an eye, the convoy that had stretched for miles vanished like mist, leaving nothing behind.

Little did Yama, the King of Hell, know that the Western Ghost Emperor he encountered was a fake.

He had never even considered that direction.

Who dares to impersonate the Ghost Emperor in the underworld?

Don't want to live anymore?

In the underworld, only two great gods have the ability to impersonate someone without being discovered.

One is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the other is the Goddess of Mount Tai.

Will the Goddess of Mount Tai come to harm him?

Yama, the King of Hell, never imagined that such a powerful figure would use such methods to trick him into going to his death.

Lin Yi had been guarding the Abyss of Exile for a long time, watching the distance ahead, while Tianmu kept a close watch as much as possible.

The lack of enemy presence made Lin Yi somewhat uneasy until a figure suddenly appeared.

Lin Yi's Demon-Slaying Manual immediately reacted, and a solemn and majestic image of a deity appeared on the manual.

The visitor was none other than Yama, the King of Hell.

To Lin Yi's surprise, he actually came alone.

Even with all his subordinates dead, he still dared to go to the meeting alone. It seems he wasn't as bad as he thought.

Lin Yi was completely focused and dared not underestimate his opponent.

The other party also wields the power of Yama, and if a trial were to be initiated, he would be significantly weakened. After all, he has committed numerous acts of murder, arson, and the destruction of gods and Buddhas, and breaking his promises and abandoning those he has helped are commonplace for him.

If Yama were to stack buffs first, he would definitely lose.

Therefore, when fighting against someone with equal authority, one must strike first.

Having confirmed that there were no other deities around, Lin Yi decisively issued the Judge's Decree.

When Yama arrived at the Abyss of Exile but did not see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he already had a bad feeling. When he saw the Judge's Decree thrown out, he was immediately shocked.

Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!

Sensing something was wrong, Yama, the King of Hell, was terrified.

Who wants to harm him?

Just as he was about to run away, a judge's decree was smeared on his face.

Trial!

King Yama was somewhat taken aback when he realized the effect was working on him.

Who is standing here, accusing me, the king?

He was the one who controlled this lineage of power, yet he was being judged by others.

However, to his even greater surprise, the trial was in effect.

"The criminal Yama, holding a vital position, neglects his duties, is cold-blooded and derelict in his responsibilities, wantonly condones his subordinates to harm living beings and exploit their souls, and interferes in human affairs under the guise of a Yin god, secretly supporting the demonic sect."

His crimes are too numerous to list; he deserves the death penalty!

King Yama was taken aback. Looking at Lin Yi who emerged from the darkness, he felt that Lin Yi was more like Yama himself, while he was just a bad guy being judged.

He wanted to quickly use his authority to retaliate, but if he was slow, he would be slow in every step.

Lin Yi declared in a majestic voice, "In the name of all living beings, I sentence you to death!"

Oh no, I've become a stand-in?

King Yama knew that this divine punishment was difficult to withstand, but he had no way to avoid it, so he could only use his royal power to grant immunity.

"Even a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner!"

These are human laws, yet they are also recognized by Heaven and Earth.

With just one sentence, the King of Hell's immunity from punishment was rendered ineffective.
