This Liao Zhai is not right

"Boom!"

There were several loud noises in succession, and several wide streets connected by thirteen city gates were razed to the ground by thunderbolts from the sky.

The mighty and powerful thunder from the sky, which is extremely masculine and powerful, is the nemesis of demons and ghosts in the world of the living. Now that it has descended into the underworld, its power has increased exponentially. Continuous thunder from the sky strikes the City of the Dead, and no grass grows wherever it passes.

At this time, the ghosts in the city raised their heads and looked at the dark clouds gathering in the sky and fled in all directions. There was only fear of life and death in their mindless eyes.

Su Fu, who was being carried by Sun Si Niang through the sky above the Wrongful Death City, turned his head and looked at the Wrongful Death City, which was completely covered by a large dark cloud, with constant lightning and thunder, and many ghosts running away. His eyebrows relaxed and he said in a relaxed tone: "The foundation of the Wrongful Death City has been destroyed. Heishan Jun has completely lost the capital to rule the underworld in a short period of time. Not to mention looking for trouble with me and taking revenge on Guobei County, he is lucky not to be hunted down by the King of Hell and become a stray dog."

"call out!"

Sun Si Niang flew through the air at a very fast speed. In the blink of an eye, she took Su Su and flew away from the Black Mountain Range in the underworld. She landed steadily from the air only after crossing the Wangchuan River.

Looking at Su Fu, he showed helplessness: "You are really good at causing trouble. After this attack, the feud between you and the Lord of Black Mountain has become irreconcilable. If you want to destroy a ghost fairy in the underworld, it will not be a short-term effort."

"If you don't kill the snake, you will be blamed. Since I have made an enemy of Black Mountain Lord, I must kill him and make him lose his mind, so as to avoid more trouble."

Su Fu said in a shocking voice.

Chapter 124: The Aftermath of the Battle

The rumbling thunder that was continuously striking down over the City of the Dead would not dissipate for a while, and facing the fight between King Yama and Lord Black Mountain, Su Su had no ability to intervene.

Even though she was in the midst of a life-and-death battle, she couldn't think of anything else she could do.

Su Su stood on the south bank of Wangchuan River, looking out at the city of the dead shrouded in dark clouds. On the north bank of Wangchuan River, many ghost soldiers and generals under the command of Lord Black Mountain, stationed in the Black Mountain Mountains over 700 miles away, were chasing after him. Separated by the rushing Wangchuan River, they dared not act rashly and could only shout at each other helplessly and angrily from across the river.

"What are you yelling about? Lord Black Mountain, who occupies the City of the Dead, hasn't expressed his opinion yet, so why are you allowed to speak so arrogantly?"

When it comes to sarcasm, Su Su has never been afraid of anyone.

Just a few simple words made the evil soldiers and generals under the command of Lord Heishan, who were chasing to the north bank of Wangchuan River, furious.

Among them, several ghost generals even forcibly drove the ghost soldiers, trying to use the ghost power to incite the dark wind to resist the blood-yellow river water caused by the strong yang energy, and ride on the dark wind to cross the Forgotten River.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the ghost general stepped on a group of ghost soldiers and floated into the sky of Wangchuan River.

The blazing Yang energy immediately surged up, and the charging ghost general stepped on the figures of the Yin soldiers, causing them to tremble continuously. The Yin wind he stirred up melted the ice and snow, and then the floating figures could no longer sustain, and fell into the Wangchuan River with a plop. After being washed by the water of the Wangchuan River containing the scorching Yang energy, the armor on their bodies and the hilt of the sword in their hands dissolved instantly, and most of the Yin energy in their bodies dissipated.

Soon after, a cold wind blew and underwater snakes and insects swarmed in. The ghost soldiers who fell into the Wangchuan River were quickly devoured and their limbs were mutilated.

By consuming the number of ghost soldiers under their feet, several ghost generals successfully crossed the Forgotten River and it would not take long for them to cross it.

However, how could Su Fu let them get their wish?

He squatted down, grabbed a handful of dust from the underworld, mobilized the power of the Yang God, and threw it out at will.

Dense cinnabar, thunder, fire and smoke floated from Su Su's palm towards the northern bank of the Wangchuan River, easily knocking several ghost generals who were about to cross the Wangchuan River and the group of ghost soldiers under their feet into the blood-yellow water of the Wangchuan River.

The other ghost soldiers and generals on the other side were frightened when they saw this scene.

They realized that the two women on the south bank of the Wangchuan River, who had quickly flown over the City of the Dead and caused thunder to roll in the sky, killing and injuring countless evil spirits in the City of the Dead, were no easy task. It would be easy to get rid of them, so they quickly retreated hundreds of steps, fearing that the other party would fly across the river and start a killing spree.

Immediately behind the army formation, another ghost general appeared. He stared at Su Su and Sun Si Niang, who were standing on the south bank of Wangchuan River, with a look of great fear for a long time. After seeing that they had no intention of flying across the river, he gave orders to drive the many ghost soldiers to form a formation and retreat.

Just run away like that?

Su Su noticed with his sharp eyes that the ghost general who appeared from the rear of the army formation was leading many ghost soldiers to retreat in a direction not towards the Black Mountain Range, but in the exact opposite direction.

"There is a murderous aura rising to the sky nearly two hundred miles away. There are dark clouds of demonic energy gathering and not dispersing. From time to time, there are bursts of divine light penetrating the sky. This should be the place where King Yama and Lord Black Mountain are fighting."

Sun Si Niang looked at him from afar for a few seconds, then explained to Su Su, and then said with emotion: "You just moved your lips and exerted only 30% of your own strength, but you turned the situation in the underworld upside down. It's really daunting."

"Do you think I want this? I was just staying in Guobei County to eradicate the shapeshifting tree monsters that were entrenched in the area and causing harm to the people. But I ended up offending this Black Mountain Lord for no apparent reason. I was just forced to protect myself!"

"So, it really wasn't my intention."

Su Fu responded righteously.

But honestly, what she said was totally true.

Who could have thought that he was just planning to deal with the White Lotus demon who was preparing to start an uprising in Guobei County, and then kill the tree demon grandma and the Rakshasa woman who had harmed countless people in Lanruo Temple, and do his job as the City God of Guobei County, but he offended the Black Mountain Lord who was the overlord in the underworld to death.

Out of desperation, she had to take the initiative and try to protect herself.

Sun Si Niang obviously didn't believe her words, and just asked: "Heishan Jun has been attacked repeatedly and is in a passive position. He can't even take care of the City of Wrongful Death. He should be at a disadvantage and is no match for King Yama. When are you going to return to the City of Wrongful Death?"

"The thunder is strong right now. If you approach rashly, you might get hurt by mistake."

The half of the Five Thunder Edict in her hand, which was prismatic and covered with lightning patterns and had a spell engraved in seal script, turned into powder in front of Su Fu's eyes the moment it came into contact with the Wangchuan jade stone containing blazing yang energy. Su Fu had no control over the thunder that was rumbling down from the sky above the City of the Dead. Once she broke under the thunderclouds, she would also be one of the targets of the thunder.

Therefore, he could only wait from afar until the thunderclouds that brought down the thunder gradually dissipated before he could enter the City of the Dead to take over the throne of King Biancheng.

Standing on the south bank of the Wangchuan River, time passes by every second.

Until a few rays of light appeared in the dark underworld, and it became daytime in the world of the living and night in the underworld.

The thunderclouds that were shrouding the sky above the City of the Dead in the distance gradually became smaller, but the battle between King Yama and Lord Black Mountain was still undecided. From the bursts of divine light that were penetrating the sky more and more frequently over two hundred miles away, Su Su could even see that their battle was intensifying.

"Let's go."

Sun Si Niang retracted her gaze, took Su Su and flew up, and then said: "Even if Black Mountain King is at a disadvantage, he has the support of thousands of Yin Gods in the form of ghosts and immortals. It will take several days for him to be completely defeated in the battle with King Yama. It is useless to watch any longer. It is better to finish the matter of the City of the Dead as soon as possible and return to the world of the living in time."

The aftermath of the battle between King Yama and Lord Black Mountain was still clearly audible more than two hundred miles away, making it impossible to imagine what the scene was like on the battlefield where they fought.

You must know that King Yama had just regained his sight after being blinded, and had not yet recovered from the severe damage caused by the remaining soul of Chi You. This kind of righteous god who has been in power for a long time is worlds apart from the city gods and earth gods, and should not be underestimated.

While he was thinking, the city of the dead, which had completely collapsed into ruins and on the steep black mountain in the middle, was right in front of him.

There were originally countless evil spirits and ghosts in the City of the Dead, but only a handful of them remained. Some hid in the ruins of the city, while others fled the city and wandered around in the rocky Black Mountains. The thunderclouds covering the City of the Dead occasionally dropped finger-thick thunderbolts to clear out the remaining evil spirits and ghosts in the City of the Dead.

"The power of the heavenly thunder that destroyed half of the Five Thunders Decree was so terrifying that it wiped out the Wrongful Death City occupied by the Black Mountain Lord from the Black Mountain Range in a short period of time. Although it was due to the fact that the power of the heavenly thunder on ghosts in the underworld increased dramatically, it was indeed too exaggerated."

Falling into the ruins of the City of the Dead, Su Su looked around, searching for the Palace of King Biancheng, which was ranked sixth among the Ten Courts of Hell.

She used her divine movement to travel quickly through the ruins. It didn't take her much effort to find the Biancheng Palace, the only intact palace in the entire Wrongful Death City that had not been destroyed by the thunder, inside the collapsed steep Black Mountain.

Chapter 125 King of Biancheng

Stepping into the Biancheng Palace, the interior is almost the same as the Yama Palace, with magnificent towers, majestic and vast, just like the imperial palace in the world of the living.

However, because King Biancheng died after the remaining soul of Chiyou broke the seal, there was nothing in the palace of King Biancheng. Only the broad and tall palace walls were left with portraits of many gods of destiny, recorders, palace masters and officials, surrounded by ghost soldiers and ghost messengers on both sides, which looked lifelike.

In the center of the hall, there is a statue of King Biancheng with raised eyebrows and open mouth, wearing a helmet on his head, armor, a belt around his waist, leather boots on his feet, and his hands clasped in front of his chest in a bow. A square seal of King Biancheng, which is completely black and has a shining divine light on its surface, hangs under the statue's hands.

The moment Su Su stepped into the palace of Biancheng King, new words quickly appeared on the cloth in his sight.

"The underworld is in chaos, demons are rampant, and the throne of King Biancheng is vacant. Now the Fifth Palace is acting as Yama to eliminate the demons and stabilize the area, and his merits are immeasurable. Now Su Su, the City God of Guobei County, Jichuan Prefecture, is temporarily taking over the throne of King Biancheng."

As the words floated, the Yama Seal hanging on Su Su's waist suddenly emitted a bright divine light. The blazing karmic fire rooted in his heart and ignited the divine power, which grew stronger and stronger, and finally almost condensed into substance. A blazing karmic fire burned from his heart, and then rushed straight to the center of his eyebrows.

By the time Su Fu reacted, the karmic fire that had condensed into substance had already sunk into the Niwan Palace, leaving a cluster of flame-shaped red flowers at the center of his eyebrows.

The raging karmic fire gathered in Niwan, and all distracting thoughts immediately disappeared from his mind. His eyes pierced with a majestic and cold gaze, and immediately the corpses and limbs of ghosts piled up like a mountain. Some little ghosts walked through them, cutting up the bodies of the ghosts, and then hitting them with sharp cones and setting them on fire. A scene of screaming and wailing appeared before his eyes.

The King of Biancheng, the sixth of the Ten Courts of Hell, is in charge of the Great Hell of Screaming and the City of Wrongful Death. Anyone who is disobedient, unfilial, or blames heaven and earth will be sent to this hell, to be dismembered, beaten, and burned by the little devils. After serving their sentence, they will be sent to the Seventh Court to continue their punishment.

but.

However, Su Su saw a figure in this great hell who should not be here.

Wearing a helmet and armor, with a stern and majestic face, he was none other than King Bi of Biancheng, who had to reincarnate and rebuild after his death.

"King Biancheng? Haven't you already..."

Su Su looked surprised and just opened his mouth to ask the reason.

King Bian Cheng, who was in the Great Screaming Hell and wearing armor, cast a look and said, "This king's divine body has indeed been destroyed by the remnant spirit of the evil god Chi You, and only a few wisps of his soul are left to reincarnate and rebuild. This Great Screaming Hell is just a clone formed by the remaining divine power, barely maintaining the operation of the Great Screaming Hell."

It turned out to be an incarnation of divine power.

No wonder Lord Heishan had occupied the City of the Dead for so long, but could only use it as a training ground for the evil spirits to fight and select ghost soldiers, but was unable to steal the throne of King Biancheng.

The incarnation of King Biancheng stared at the flame-shaped crimson flower ornament between Su Su's eyebrows, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"Since you can travel to the Great Screaming Hell, you must have pacified the Black Mountain Old Monster who occupied the City of the Dead and coveted the throne of King Yama for a long time. You also entered the King's Palace in Biancheng to undergo the test of karmic fire and temporarily took over the throne of King Yama. Now the situation in the underworld is corrupt, and the affairs of the Ten Palaces are all under the control of King Yama. We have been reincarnated and have no time to return. I hope you can share the responsibility of the Sixth Palace."

Temporarily replace the throne of Yama?

I am temporarily taking over your throne as King Biancheng!

With just one sentence, you want to deny the throne of King Biancheng that I, Su, just replaced, right?

Su Su thought so in his heart, and then he declined, saying: "Although I am temporarily taking over the throne of Yama, I dare not interfere in the affairs of the Sixth Palace at will. I will hand it over to King Yama and wait for King Biancheng to reincarnate and return to the throne and take power again."

The Great Screaming Hell is currently ruled by the incarnation of King Bi of Biancheng, and the City of the Wrongly Dead has been reduced to ruins by thunder. As for the gods of destiny, record, palace masters and officials in the palace of King Biancheng, they are all placed in the portraits on the palace walls.

Especially after Su Su replaced the throne of King Biancheng, the divine seal of King Biancheng hanging under the hands of the statue of King Biancheng did not merge into the divine seal of Yama around her waist, but only shared most of the divine light.

From this, it can be seen that the real priesthood of King Biancheng still belongs to King Biancheng Bi, who has devoted himself to reincarnation and cultivation. Su Su only possessed a part of the throne of King Biancheng before he returned to his position.

Neither the Great Screaming Hell controlled by the priest King Biancheng nor the City of the Dead that was reduced to ruins by thunder had much to do with her.

Therefore, Su Su's position at this time was quite awkward.

Although she successfully became the King of Hell, she had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Ten Courts of Hell.

He is like the Eleventh King of Hell, who has separated from the Ten Kings of Hell system and is a lone commander.

"After all, King Biancheng died in the line of duty while fighting the remaining spirit of the evil god Chiyou. There is nothing wrong with his legacy being reincarnated. Besides, I don't want to take over the mess of the underworld. It would be nice to have a god position but no corresponding responsibilities." Su Su thought to himself.

The throne represents status and corresponding ability, while the priesthood represents the authority in one's hands.

For Shinto, the two complement each other and are indispensable.

Having a position without divine duties is like holding an empty title in the imperial court. Although it seems that one has a high status, in reality, one can only act according to the wishes of others. Having duties without a position is neither legitimate nor just. The power in one's hands is like a flower in a mirror or a moon in the water. It will disappear at the slightest disturbance.

The King of Fengdu is the ancestor of all ghosts in the world and is in charge of the underworld, with the Ten Kings of Hell ranking below him; the King of Dongyue is in charge of the birth of all living beings in the world, and under his command is the Dongyue underworld, which uses the city gods to monitor the good and evil fortune of the world; and Taihua Qing, who died in the battle with the remaining soul of Chiyou, was the King of Xiyue and was in charge of the five metals, and was nicknamed the Golden King.

Most of the righteous gods in a region hold high positions and great power.

Without authority, the Shinto path will be difficult to continue.

Therefore, in the face of Su Fu's extremely tactful refusal, which indicated that he had no intention of intervening in the authority of the Sixth Palace, the clone of King Biancheng, who was guarding the Great Screaming Hell, did not say anything, but his solemn expression eased a little, no longer that majestic and cold expression.

The clone of King Biancheng said repeatedly: "You should do your job well. Although the affairs of the Sixth Palace are under the hands of King Yama, you have temporarily taken over the throne of King Yama of the Sixth Palace. How can there be any inconvenience? You can mobilize all the judges, ghost soldiers, and ghost messengers in King Biancheng's Palace. Please don't refuse."

This statement clearly expressed the subtext of 'As long as you don't set your sights on the authority of the Sixth Palace, you can use my men in the Royal Palace of Biancheng however you want', so how could Su Su not hear it?

She refused directly, "That's not necessary. I won't stay in the underworld for long, so I don't need the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers from the Biancheng Palace."

The purpose of taking action against the City of the Dead, which had been occupied for a long time, was to avoid taking over the mess of lip service and double-crossing in the underworld.

From the beginning to the end, Su Su's goal was to replace the throne of King Biancheng so that she could have the capital to confront King Heishan head-on in the underworld. She did not have the leisure time to argue with King Biancheng's subordinates and hold each other back.

Chapter 126 Karma Fire

Seeing Su Su's firm attitude, King Biancheng's clone had to take back his words.

And just like when Su Su temporarily took over the throne of Yama in the Fifth Hall, he briefly explained to her the corresponding precautions for being the acting Yama in the Sixth Hall, just like King Yama did, and then let her leave the Great Hell of Screaming.

The scene of the Great Screaming Hell gradually disappeared, and the empty Biancheng Palace appeared before our eyes.

Looking at the Biancheng King Seal whose divine light under the statue's hands had been mostly diverted, Su Su sighed softly and thought to himself, "The replacement of the City God of a normal prefecture requires the intervention of Yingtian Prefecture's City God Mingling Wang and Yama Wang who controls the underworld. If one is unlucky, one might even encounter Guan Sheng himself. The replacement of the underworld's Yama King is extraordinary. As the immediate superior of the Ten Hell Kings, Fengdu Emperor will definitely inquire about it, and maybe even alarm the Jade Emperor who resides high in the sky."

The cloth in sight can certainly replace the ownerless throne quietly.

However, a series of consequences arising from replacing the throne of God must be borne.

Fortunately, now that troubled times are approaching, the gods in heaven are staying indoors, and the remaining soul of the evil god Chi You is wreaking havoc outside. Moreover, the underworld has already updated the troubled times version. Just to intend to wipe out the Black Mountain Lord, who has a body that can accommodate thousands of evil gods and ghosts, it is unknown how much effort and time King Yama will have to spend to accomplish this.

And Lord Heishan is just a ghost king who is the leader of a faction in the entire underworld.

How difficult it is to pacify the underworld and eliminate chaos.

It will take a hundred years to achieve this.

Walking out of the Biancheng Palace, the Wrongful Death City that had been destroyed by thunder had somehow returned to its original state, except that there was no longer a single ghost in the city.

Looking outside the city, the mighty Forgetful River is rushing from east to west, with the Naihe Bridge spanning the north and south banks. In just a moment, those who died an unjust death in the world of the living and were haunted by evil spirits were thrown into the underworld by the ghost catcher, and walked across the Naihe Bridge in a daze and entered the City of Unjust Death.

Glancing sideways at the Biancheng Palace behind her, all the judges, ghost soldiers, and ghost messengers who were originally painted on the palace walls appeared together. After paying their respects to Su Su, they dispersed to various places in the City of the Dead without her further instructions. They started to work from then on, escorting the evil ghosts and wronged souls who had not yet completed their life span into the City of the Dead to various government offices, where they were sentenced according to the severity of their crimes. After they had finished their life spans, they would be sent to hell according to the underworld's criminal laws, and those who should be reincarnated would be reincarnated.

As the City of Wrongful Death resumed its normal operations, the karmic fire that had sunk into the mud ball between Su Su's eyebrows began to burn fiercely. From a distance, one could see the flame-shaped red flower ornament between her eyebrows emitting wisps of divine light. Anyone with evil thoughts would feel the karmic fire burning in their hearts and feel unbearable pain and embarrassment just by taking a look at it.

He reached out and touched the red flower ornament between his eyebrows, which was shaped like a flame. He felt a scorching heat flowing through his fingertips. Then he spread his palm and a cluster of karmic fire burned in his palm. The remaining evil spirit in his yang spirit was constantly burned and incinerated by this cluster of karmic fire. The speed at which the yin spirit in the inner elixir was transformed into the yang spirit was much faster than absorbing the blazing yang energy dissipated in the sunlight.

Duan is something extremely beneficial to spiritual practice.

"This seemingly harmless and beneficial karmic fire can burn you to ashes in an instant if you have selfish thoughts in court and lose your sense of justice."

He clenched his palms, and the cluster of karmic fire burning in the palms slowly went out.
