Chapter 394: The King of Netherworld Unleashes Slaughter, Clearing the Book of Life and Death, Hurrying to the Heavenly Divination Bureau to Request the Grand Supervisor [Seeking Monthly Votes]



Boom!!!

A terrifying blast erupted, scorching hot and dazzlingly golden, a gigantic furnace spanned across the heavens and earth, blazing brilliantly!

In an instant, the unleashed power seemed to freeze time itself!

The horrifying tremors rippled endlessly, causing the waters of the Grand Canal to surge and churn, erupting into thousands of layers of giant waves!

On the White Jade Square, shattered stones and dust rose like curtains, with cracks spreading in layers.

Then, the flesh and blood exploded into four pieces, splattering scorching blood across the heavens and earth, instantly heating up the temperature between them.

"Nooooooo!!!"

A terrifying wail filled with fury, resentment, and roars emanated from Qinglong, the top-tier pinnacle, whose physical body had been shattered. It was as if his Martial Way will was about to ignite, a celestial resonance.

It was as if the connection between heaven and earth had been severed!

Pfft, pfft—

Fragments of flesh and blood fell like boulders, smashing onto the ground. Qinglong's incredibly powerful physical body was torn into four pieces, like a meteor that had been punched into the ground.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Amidst the rolling dust and smoke, on the city walls and below the city tower, around the White Jade Square, under the gaze of numerous martial artists and the attention of powerful cultivators, a top-tier pinnacle...

Fell!

So fast!

Too fast!

From the Netherworld King's leap from the Netherworld Capital City's walls, shattering the air and charging forward, to the moment Qinglong, the top-tier pinnacle, was struck down, it was all over in just two moves!

Two moves...

Just two moves!

It was almost unbelievable, even bordering on the absurd!

After all, Qinglong was no weakling; he was the leader of the four Mystic Guards of the Divine Capital, the Qinglong of the Great Jing Imperial Court. Ranked sixth at the Tianmen Pass, he had been meticulously cultivated by the court since childhood, undergoing countless trials and competing with numerous child prodigies. Finally, he emerged victorious, earning the Emperor's favor and receiving the Qinglong Temple Deity inheritance possessed by the Great Jing Imperial Court.

Transformed and reborn, he rose to become the commander of the Qinglong Mystic Guards, leading thirty thousand of them in the Divine Capital!

Yet...

Such a formidable presence that dominated the Divine Capital was now shattered by two moves from Li Che, blasted to pieces before countless powerful cultivators.

One punch shattered the heavens, and the next took his life!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The Lion Elephant Vajra roared, and the terrifying golden furnace seemed to spew forth billowing smoke, illuminating the entire sky.

The wind howled, and turbulent currents surged, tearing apart the rising curtain of dust and debris in the ruins of the White Jade Square. In the distance, Bai Yuxin and Zhu Que, hearing the commotion, broke free from their confrontation with Lu Taibai and rushed towards Qinglong's direction.

However, as they moved, their bodies froze in mid-air, as if time had stopped for them.

They couldn't even twitch!

Through the masks covering their faces, their eyes widened in shock, despair, confusion, and emptiness as they gazed upon Qinglong, whose flesh had been blasted apart and whose heavenly will had been crushed.

They stood motionless, witnessing the punch that shattered Qinglong, standing amidst the ruins with the Lion Elephant Vajra roaring behind him, a terrifying figure resembling a demon god.

Suddenly, the world fell silent.

Almost everyone paused their battles.

The fight between Ji Mo Li and the True Martial Sect's leader, Shi Jian, halted. The clash between the Profound Nine Turns Ten Thousand Talismans Traverse Heaven and Gu Changqing, Bai Buyi, and Zhao Chunqiu, leaders of various sects, stopped their attacks. Even the confrontation between Lu Taibai and the shadow clones of Tian Can Di Que came to a standstill.

"He's dead..."

Someone sighed, and the atmosphere instantly ignited, becoming lively and noisy.

The first top-tier pinnacle to fall in this Peach Feast!

The Netherworld had indeed taken a life!

Living up to its notorious reputation, almost every news related to the Netherworld involved killing.

Always killing, or on the path to kill...

This was the Netherworld!

The King of Netherworld!

All eyes were fixed on the figure wearing the black and white divided mask, their hair standing on end, offering a vast collection of content. The site boasted a diverse range of content.

However, what caught everyone's attention was the Netherworld King's action of collecting Qinglong's shattered remains and the Qiankun Jade, treating them as spoils of war.

The White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, their eyes now red with rage, roared and charged towards Li Che. The four Mystic Guards of the Divine Capital, having grown up together, possessed an unparalleled synergy, mastering the top-tier Four Lion Elephant Vajra technique.

To execute such a high-level combined technique, one needed the kind of harmony that Tian Can Di Que had with his shadow clones.

However, with Qinglong's death, the Four Lion Elephant Vajra technique could no longer be performed, and the power of their combined techniques would be greatly diminished.

Of course, this wasn't the primary reason for the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird's anger.

Their fury stemmed from the tragic death of Qinglong, filling their hearts with sorrow!

The Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, their auras now terrifying and immense, reached the Netherworld King's side in an instant, their Mysterious Door Divine Seeds erupting, causing their blood qi to surge uncontrollably.

It was as if they were willing to risk their lives!

Or perhaps, the four Mystic Guards of the Divine Capital were all deadmen, loyal to the Emperor, raised from childhood to sell their lives to the Emperor, top-tier cultivators.

The death of the Azure Dragon did not deter these two; instead, it completely ignited the murderous intent of the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird!

Li Che, wearing the black and white mask of the Netherworld King, felt the terrifying and intense surge of blood Qi. The Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger directly detonated three Mysterious Door Divine Seeds, causing their jade-like armor to clatter loudly.

Even though they cultivated the Divine Martial Way and had reached the peak of the top-tier, with formidable physical bodies, detonating three Mysterious Door Divine Seeds was the limit for them.

Boom!

The invisible force around them erupted, colliding with a sound like the roar of the White Tiger and the screech of the Vermilion Bird!

The terrifying thunderous sound continued to reverberate.

Facing the onslaught of the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird, who had detonated three Mysterious Door Divine Seeds, the Netherworld King's ink-black robe fluttered, and behind him, the furnace roared, with the dragon and elephant resonating. Inside the furnace, it was as if seven blazing suns were rising!

The Netherworld King did not retreat; instead, he tapped his toes, causing the ground to instantly turn into soft mud, which then collapsed. He then raised his fist and pushed horizontally.

Countless dragon and elephant shadows, constantly changing, spanned between heaven and earth!

Boom!

The earth shook and the sky trembled!

With a single horizontal push, it was as if the supreme pill furnace in the immortal's palace in the heavens was tilting, and the surging blood Qi burst forth like flames. The divine dragon and the demonic elephant seemed to revive.

A giant fist-like shadow formed and pushed horizontally, tearing through the countless rising curtains of smoke and dust with a single punch!

Divine Ability: Dragon Elephant Sky!

In an instant, the force escalated, and its might was like a heavenly river bursting its banks, unstoppable and overwhelming.

The White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird clashed with this immense and relentless force, screaming and fighting ferociously.

In a flash, a terrifying sound erupted, shattering the sky like a thunderclap.

On the grand terrace.

The Emperor abruptly stood up, his divine essence and blood Qi intertwining on his face, causing it to become blurred. His eyes revealed a mixture of sorrow and shock!

The sorrow was naturally due to the death of the Azure Dragon.

The shock, however, was because the Netherworld King was able to fight the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger head-on, and his strength was so pure and fierce, with a perfect balance of hardness and softness, and a harmonious blend of yin and yang. Combined with his terrifying pure martial blood Qi, he surpassed the Fourth Gate Martial Sage and was probably only a step away from the Half-Step Martial Deity!

"Such power... I've never heard of it before."

The Empress muttered in a low voice.

Under the gaze of thousands,

At the point of collision between the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger, the terrifying blood Qi erupted, stirring up intense waves of smoke and dust that surged upwards, defying the heavens!

Bang!

Then, a sound like spring thunder reverberated, covering the sky.

Two figures, like falling stars with fiery tails, were flung back, tearing and melting the ground, creating two enormous ravines.

The Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger, both top-tier experts, were blasted back.

Their masks had already shattered, revealing their distorted and ruined faces, hideous and terrifying, like demons from the netherworld.

However, the Netherworld King's golden hair whipping in the wind as he appeared behind the Vermilion Bird's path, his golden hair fluttering.

The Vermilion Bird, having detonated three Mysterious Door Divine Seeds, roared and howled, causing his blood Qi to rise. He spread his arms, and the heat from his blood Qi swirled and rolled.

But...

The Netherworld King's gaze was cold and heartless, and with a thought, he repeated the same move he had used against the Azure Dragon.

In the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, another chessboard seemed to unfold, ten feet in size, neither too big nor too small.

Li Che wore a black and white split mask of the King of Netherworld, his fingers spread wide, and slowly pressed down, as if an invisible field followed his palm and slammed down!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

It seemed like the void couldn't bear the weight of the mournful wails, and the solidified Heavenly Might seemed to drip like sinking incense, then rumbled and spread in all directions...

Boom, boom, boom!!!

【Heaven Surpassing Half-Child: Heaven Surpassing Domain (Twenty Feet)】

Beneath the mask, Li Che's eyes slightly brightened.

As he swallowed one by one the Chi Dragon Blood Peaches in the Peach Orchard to replenish his Vital Energy Golden Pool, his Martial Way cultivation slightly improved, and his Vital Energy Golden Pool expanded to several thousand feet, aiming to reach ten thousand feet!

Now, the transformation had become an increase in strength, and as he pressed down, the Heaven Surpassing Domain continued to expand!

From ten feet, it expanded to twenty feet!

Within a twenty-foot range!

All gods kneel before me!

Boom!!!

On Zhuque's distorted and blurred disfigured face, her eyes widened in horror.

When she was enveloped by the Heaven Surpassing Domain, she finally understood why Qinglong had been so easily defeated.

"Divine Realm?!"

"No! Small Cave Heaven!"

The terrifying Heavenly Might fell like a heavy hammer, slamming onto Zhuque's body, causing the three exploded Mysterious Door Divine Seeds to slightly weaken.

Although her cultivation had weakened, the strength gained from the explosion of the three Mysterious Door Divine Seeds still remained...

But what kind of power was this?!

Zhuque became terrified!

The overwhelming Heavenly Might made her heart fill with endless fear, not to mention the deprivation of her cultivation.

The power that had stripped her of her cultivation left Zhuque with only despair at this moment.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Zhuque was naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death!

"Baihu! Don't let him get close, if he gets close to you, he'll take away your cultivation, and your strength!"

Zhuque screamed.

At the same time, enduring the terrifying Heavenly Might, she gritted her teeth, feeling the intense pain, and slightly recovering her human potential under the Heavenly Might.

She wanted to escape from the devil-like Netherworld King who was closely behind her!

"Those listed in the Book of Life and Death will die one by one."

A faint voice came from the Netherworld King.

Those listed in the Book of Life and Death.

The Netherworld King would come to take their lives early in the morning.

Li Che's mind stirred, and in his left arm, a dazzling light of a blade suddenly burst forth.

Then, from within his arm, a Three Pronged Double Edge Saber, a Four Imperial Levels Above Divine Armament, emitted a dazzling blade hum.

The terrifying saber aura raged and intertwined, like a dragon whirlpool wrapping around the Netherworld King's arm. With his fingers clenched, he held a saber that resembled a spear and lance.

Thousand Mountain Solo Traveling Divine Saber!

This was Li Che's Mysterious Door Divine Seed saber technique, already reaching the pinnacle!

Holding the saber with one hand, he gave a slight shake, and the saber light exploded forth, dazzling to the extreme, accompanied by a clanging sound, and slashed towards Zhuque who was trying to break free from the Heaven Surpassing Domain.

The dazzling half-moon saber arc slashed out, and the terrifying saber intent almost seemed to cut the air, leaving fine black cracks at the cutting edge!

So fast!

Too fast!

At this moment, Zhuque's cultivation was continuously suppressed by the Heaven Surpassing Domain, and it had already dropped to Martial Sage Third Gate, about to fall to Martial Sage Second Gate. All this happened in less than a breath.

But Zhuque's reaction was also quick, and she immediately tried to break free, but it was too late.

Using a Four Imperial Levels Above Divine Armament, the saber light slashed towards Zhuque. She clenched her five fingers, and a long sword resembling a crane feather appeared in her hand, which was also a Four Imperial Levels Above Divine Armament.

Ding! A crisp sound rang out.

This crane feather treasure sword was crushed by the terrifying force and flew away. Zhuque, whose cultivation had dropped, faced the Netherworld King who had activated the Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace behind her, and she couldn't block him at all!

The crane feather sword was slashed away, and then Zhuque's flesh was cut by the half-moon saber arc.

Puff, puff, puff—

As the saber light entered Zhuque's body, it instantly bloomed, turning into thousands of bursting saber lights!

It brought forth a whole piece of dripping crimson blood and shattered flesh.

Zhuque—

Fell!

However, before the crowd could mourn for Zhuque, the Netherworld King had already rushed to the next battle.

Holding the Three Pronged Double Edge Saber, his black robe fluttering, he took a step forward, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard descended!

The intense and overwhelming killing intent was like a bursting river, slamming towards Baihu!

Baihu's eyes were about to split, his eyes reddened, and his heart was filled with sorrow. However, he didn't have time to grieve, and he roared, the White Tiger's Vital Energy surging as he quickly retreated, no longer entangled with the Netherworld King!

In just two clashes, Zhuque was defeated...

Slaughtered by the Netherworld King, a thousand cuts!

Two top-tier experts, dying in such a miserable way!

These were two top-tier experts!

In the entire Great Jing, unless one mastered Dao Essence, refined Dao Positions, and reached the Half-Step Divine Tribulation or Half-Step Martial Deity Realm, it was not easy to kill top-tier experts!

"Ahhhh—"

Baihu quickly retreated, his jade-like armor clanging, like a panicked fleeing tiger.

He swiftly flew towards the direction of the Temple Guard Governor, Wang Kui.

In just an instant, Baihu's thoughts turned, planning to drag the Temple Guard into this. If he could get the Temple Guard's Grand Governor, Ye Pengju, to take action, that would be even better!

Baihu's retreat was extremely fast, like a horizontal comet, sometimes floating, sometimes disappearing.

Obviously, his movement technique was highly accomplished!

Wang Kui had just risen from the main banquet area of the Quanyuan Divine Sect when he felt the overwhelming aura rushing towards him.

Is he trying to drag me into this?

Although the Temple Guard was under the jurisdiction of the court, their main responsibility was dealing with matters related to the Strange Shrine.

Why get involved in such a troublesome matter?

King Kui was seething with rage. He had no intention of intervening, especially since Li Che's family had treated Tie Shancai well, and Xi Xi and Tie Shancai were extremely good friends.

How could he possibly take action?

It would only increase his son's dislike for him.

However, facing that terrifying and intense aura, King Kui couldn't help but react.

His blood qi surged wildly, the golden ring on his nose trembled, and his body suddenly swelled, with veins as twisted as horned dragons weaving across his back, as if a terrifying one-legged Green Ox was emerging!

Yet, the White Tiger failed to reach his side.

Because...

The Netherworld King, with a bloody three-pronged double-edged saber in his hand, twisted the handle, causing it to spin, and the crystal-clear blood beads flew out, splattering everywhere.

The Netherworld King had already appeared beside the White Tiger, who was trying to escape with his extremely high-level body movement technique.

No matter how exquisite the body movement technique was, how could it compare to the concept of instant movement like the Flying Thunder Chess Piece?

This was a higher-dimensional strike!

"Temple Guard!"

Roar!

The White Tiger roared.

But he only managed to shout out a single word.

Heavenly Might slammed down, instantly crushing the White Tiger and forcefully slamming him onto the White Jade Square, creating a deep, sunken pit.

The White Tiger felt his cultivation being continuously stripped away and weakened. Unconsciously, he was weakened to the extent of a Martial Sage Second Gate realm.

Facing the suppression of Heavenly Might, he felt like sinking into a mud pit...

The White Tiger's white armor was pierced, and the three-pronged double-edged saber drilled through his back, penetrating his spine, and nailing him to the ground.

The Netherworld King's five fingers gripped the long blade's handle, and with a slight shake, thousands of sword lights raged like a storm, intertwining fiercely.

In an instant, the White Tiger's body exploded!

He followed the Vermilion Bird into death!

Blood splashed upwards, splattering on King Kui's blood qi and Green Ox. A top-tier blood essence, like a precious pearl, contained an extremely powerful energy. It was evaporated by King Kui's scorching blood qi, instantly turning into thick, black smoke!

King Kui stood in his original spot, his five fingers spread wide. In a flash, a three-pronged spear appeared in his hand, and the golden ring on his nose trembled slightly, revealing his inner turmoil.

The Netherworld King, after killing the White Tiger, held the three-pronged double-edged saber with one hand, his golden hair flying, and his half-black, half-white mask revealed a pair of eyes that stared at him.

It was as if he was saying, "Do you want to give it a try?"

King Kui shrugged his nose, his eyes narrowing.

The Sixth of Heaven's Gate Pass, the Azure Dragon, was killed by the Netherworld King.

Although King Kui was ranked fifth at Heaven's Gate Pass, he was also a top-tier existence on the Great Deity List, just like Lu Taibai, who was on both lists.

Facing the overwhelming pressure and fierce aura of the Netherworld King, he didn't show too much fear.

However, King Kui ultimately didn't take action.

The Netherworld King spread his five fingers, collecting the White Tiger's corpse and the cosmos. At the same time, his body disappeared with a teleportation, appearing next to the Vermilion Bird's corpse, collecting the corpse and the cosmos jade...

The world fell silent.

Only the sound of spring rain pounding down in the Third City of the Divine Capital echoed.

The Divine Capital's Four Mystic Guards...

Three of them were killed!

The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger... all three top-tier experts were dead!

This was truly shocking!

Inside and outside the Divine Capital, everyone was silent.

No one could describe the shock in their hearts.

A fight between gods?

No!

This was a one-sided slaughter!

The Netherworld King...

He was massacring them!

How cruel and ruthless the Netherworld King was!

"Hahahaha!"

"Well done.

How domineering the Netherworld was!

"Hahahahaha!"

"Well done!"

Lu Taibai slashed away the laughter of Heaven Wanes Earth Lacks, his face covered in blood and a ferocious expression, laughing uncontrollably, feeling incredibly satisfied!

What a Netherworld King!

So cruel!

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to Lu Taibai.

The Netherworld King's gaze swept past, landing on the numerous sect leaders who had stopped, including Gu Changqing, Bai Buyi, Gu Cheng, and Ning Caishen.

Their faces twitched slightly, filled with caution.

But the Netherworld King didn't kill them. Instead, he teleported his gaze away, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Netherworld King's terrifying record of killing three top-tier experts one after another made these sect leaders realize that in a one-on-one fight...

They might also be killed!

The Netherworld King's gaze shifted, landing on Ji Mo Li, who had also stopped fighting with Shi Jian.

Ji Mo Li only felt a chill enveloping him.

This Netherworld King...

Wanted to kill him!

Moreover, the killing intent was incredibly strong!

Holding the umbrella gun in his hand, Ji Mo Li stared at the Netherworld King.

The next moment...

Indeed...

The Netherworld King disappeared without a trace!

"Arrogant!"

Ji Mo Li was both shocked and angry!

Boom!

A terrifying blast suddenly erupted, as Ji Mo Li unleashed his blood qi, releasing the formidable aura of the Heaven Earth Soul!

The Third on the Great Deity List, and the Second...

Ji Mo Li's overall strength far surpassed that of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and others!

Yet, the Netherworld King...

Still chose to take action boldly!

Buzz!

Ji Mo Li's five fingers clenched, as if his blood qi transformed into ten thousand dragons, instantly erupting from his body, densely packed, their roars shaking the heavens!

Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods!

In an instant, the umbrella gun twisted, as if drilling out a dragon vortex power, thrusting towards his back, the terrifying blood qi...

But only when he got close to the Netherworld King did he understand the terror of this heavenly might!

The overwhelming heavenly might, as if squeezing out the airflow within a twenty-zhang radius!

Ji Mo Li's heart couldn't help but fill with extreme caution!

He instantly felt a sense of heavenly might's terror!

Ji Mo Li roared, his heart filled with rage, finally understanding why the top-tier experts of Heaven's Gate Pass, like the Azure Dragon, had died so easily!

Killing a top-tier expert, a challenge for even a Martial Sage at the Third or Second Gate...

Feeling the irresistible urge to weaken his cultivation, a dark flame suddenly erupted from Ji Mo Li's eyes, swirling around his body like a coiling dragon.

Sizzle!

Dao Essence Tribulation Flame!

Li Che's fingers tightened around the divine three-pronged double-edged saber, his gaze momentarily fixed. The overwhelming heavenly might of the Heaven Surpassing Domain that had been suppressing him was suddenly blocked and extinguished by the black flames burning on Ji Mo Li's body.

Ji Mo Li abruptly turned, his body engulfed in raging flames that flickered uncontrollably. The Umbrella Gun, which had been frozen in place, suddenly broke free and struck down.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Dao Essence Tribulation Flame!

Li Che's heart skipped a beat, but the three-pronged double-edged saber in his hand did not retreat. Behind him, the Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace erupted, and a torrent of power surged into the saber's tip.

The tip of the saber clashed with the tip of the Umbrella Gun, creating a vast ocean of sharp and icy sword light and gun light that washed over both of them, causing a chaotic explosion within a hundred zhang radius around them.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Scorching, annihilating, and calamitous auras filled the air, distorting it with extreme pressure and terror.

Ji Mo Li gripped the Umbrella Gun, his eyes burning with dark flames, and the mystic armor on his body clanged as it was enveloped by black flames that carried an intense aura of death.

However, the Underworld King, who had clashed with him, had already disappeared.

Ji Mo Li, with his uncanny teleportation ability, vanished and reappeared at a distant location.

Ji Mo Li's exposed skin appeared as hard as steel, filled with terrifying power. He turned his head to look in the direction where the Underworld King had teleported.

Li Che's gaze flickered beneath the black and white mask of the Underworld King.

"Nether Flame... one of the Three Tribulations."

A hoarse voice escaped Li Che's lips.

At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the black flames engulfing Ji Mo Li's body.

Lu Taibai's eyes widened with a profound sense of gravity.

"Dao Essence Tribulation Flame!"

"Ji Mo Li... he's already reached the Half-Step Divine Tribulation!"

Lu Taibai took a deep breath, his heart growing heavier.

Although he had anticipated this, since even Yellow Eyebrow had mastered the Dao Essence Tribulation Thunder, it was no surprise that Ji Mo Li could as well. Various astonished gazes were directed at Ji Mo Li.

Ji Mo Li's eyes turned cold, and he finally revealed his true intentions as he glared at the Underworld King.

His heart was filled with surprise.

Ji Mo Li had clashed with the Underworld King, enduring the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation Flame with his Umbrella Gun, yet he remained completely unharmed.

But Ji Mo Li hadn't sensed the power of the Three Tribulations in the Underworld King!

Ji Mo Li took a deep breath, and the Dao Essence Tribulation Flame returned to his body as he fell silent.

Li Che observed Ji Mo Li closely.

The Half-Step Divine Tribulation...

This wouldn't be easy to deal with.

Li Che had been considering whether he could take down Ji Mo Li as well, but now it seemed that killing Ji Mo Li wouldn't be so simple.

The Three Tribulations—Celestial Thunder, God Annihilating Wind, and Nether Flame—were truly terrifying powers, a calamity sent by the will of Heaven and Earth.

Li Che held the divine three-pronged double-edged saber, his golden hair shimmering, and his gaze swept over the Emperor, who was protected by the Black Tortoise and stood on the grand terrace.

Suddenly, Li Che was taken aback.

At that moment, the Great Jing Emperor rose unsteadily from his desk, his face flushed with blood and divine energy. Although his expression was hidden, Li Che could sense the fear and panic in his eyes, a reaction that seemed... amateurish.

However, this display of panic and fear felt somewhat genuine.

Li Che's brow furrowed, and a flash of insight crossed his mind.

"Underworld King!"

"How dare you!" The Emperor's voice trembled with anger.

The Black Tortoise seemed to tremble with rage, its blood-red energy pulsating.

The Emperor's performance of panic and fear seemed to have a hint of authenticity.

Li Che's heart grew heavier.

From the beginning of the banquet, the Great Jing Emperor had been acting in collusion with the Grand Supervisor of the Heaven Divination Bureau, deliberately provoking Lu Taibai to flip the table and cause a scene...

The Emperor's voice boomed as he shouted, "Quickly! Go fetch the Grand Supervisor from the Heaven Divination Bureau!"
