Chapter 683: Vanquished By The Ultimate Blow

The ministers looked at Baili Jia Jue in disbelief.

The two old ministers, who previously knelt before Baili Jia Jue to advocate the political marriage, were especially shocked with their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Zongzheng Wen Ren appeared to be dumbstruck. He took a few seconds to finally come to his senses. Yet, his expression remained gloomy.

We’ve lost.

We have been vanquished…

Upon hearing the news, Zongzheng Yu Er paled. “Imperial Brother, what should we do now?”

“We need to leave now!” Zongzheng Wen Ren replied in a muffled voice. “We are the envoys. There is an agreement between the four kingdoms, saying that the envoys cannot be harmed even if both sides are at war.”

Zongzheng Yu Er nodded, but there was no emotion in her eyes. Her initially-combed hair was now ruffled.

She arrived in a blaze of glory, but she was now going to leave this place with her tail between her legs.

Zongzheng Wen Ren was right. They would be safe as long as they stayed within the War Dragon Dynasty.

However, once they entered the Xuanyuan Kingdom, they would be put under unprecedented hot pursuit!

Baili Jia Jue was certainly a ruthless and brutal man.

Elder Xu Wu regretted immensely to have provoked such a man. He fell onto the ground, appearing despair. He no longer cared about the result of the game and only wanted to save his neck!

The son of King of Hell stared at him and furrowed his thick brows all of a sudden. “Wait. Something’s wrong!”

“What is wrong?” Helian Wei raised her brows as she sensed the sudden change of air.

The son of King of Hell extended his hand and a black notebook appeared on his palm. He flipped the book and stopped at the word “Xu Wu” before he furrowed his brows again. “Xu Wu Chang Kong, born in the year of 14, died at the end of 95. This old man should have died a few months ago. Why is he still alive?”

Upon hearing the son of King of Hell’s words, the reapers, who were standing aside, noticed that the light on Elder Xu Wu’s head had indeed extinguished. The elders often said that, when a person died, their lights would be extinguished. This statement was not groundless, for every person with a living soul would carry a torch on the top of their head. Of course, it was certainly not visible to human beings, nor demons. Only the administrators of the netherworld, namely the reapers, the judges and the King of Hell, could see it. A bright glow indicated that the person was alive. On the other hand, a dim glow suggested that one’s time was about to run out. Immediately after the light was extinguished, one would stop breathing and the reapers would receive a notification to promptly collect his or her soul. As it was a dead soul, it would naturally be governed by the netherworld.

However, at this moment, it was evident that Elder Xu Wu was a dead soul. Yet, he had not been discovered by the reapers and was able to even remain in his mortal shell peacefully. If the son of King of Hell did not take a careful look, he would not have been able to notice the slip.

“What is going on here?” The son of King of Hell would never allow such a terrible blunder to happen under his care.

His dad had promised to let him meet Little Hook if he could successfully achieve the set target.

It was bad enough for a dead soul to stray out of the netherworld. Worse, it was now disguising as a living soul and strolling around the human world. If his father found out about this, he would never get to see his sweetheart ever again!

Terrified by the thought, the son of King of Hell grabbed a reaper by its collar and shook it violently. “Did you guys do this on purpose? Huh? Are you trying to stop me from seeing Little Hook?”

“Your Highness, we draw souls in accordance to the judge’s order. I reckon that you have to check with the judge to find out how did Elder Xu Wu escape from us.” The reaper appeared more distressed than ever after being held by the King of Hell!

Without hesitation, the son of King of Hell commanded in a sombre tone, “Judge, show yourself!”

Immediately, the judge in long robes appeared.

He hovered in the air as he greeted the son of King of Hell, “Your Highness, how can I help you?”

“Why is he here?” The son of King of Hell asked, gesturing at the Elder Xu Wu.

The judge took a glance at Elder Xu Wu before he furrowed his brows. “I have no idea. But, according to my investigation, it’s most probably because of the swamping aura of resentment in the Capital right now. Other than this dead soul, some evil spirits have been stained by the aura of resentment as well. Lord Kasuo and Lord Bing are now clearing these infected souls. These hostile ghosts cannot be allowed into the netherworld. We have to locate and eliminate them while they are in the human realm. Otherwise, once an infected soul enters the netherworld, it will contaminate and cause hostile changes to all the other ghosts in the netherworld. If that happens, not only the human realm, the Hall of Reincarnation of the netherworld will be destroyed too. ”

Upon hearing this, the tiger hat on Little King of Hell’s head shifted a little and his adorable face grew solemn. “So, the source of the infection came from the human world?”

“Yes. But, I have yet to find out the particular reason behind this. Lord Kasuo has requested for Your Highness to return to the netherworld. You are still young and the human world is a dangerous place. He worries that you might be tainted by the aura of resentment,” the judge said in a solemn yet muffled voice.

Apparently, he did not want any outsider to learn about this matter.

However, he failed to hide it from the ears of Baili Jia Jue and Helian Wei Wei. They exchanged looks before their gazes eventually fixed on Elder Xu Wu.

The crowd did not know the content of the son of King of Hell and the judge’s conversation. The only thing they understood was that Elder Xu Wu was dead and, almost instantly, a horrified expression was plastered on their faces.

If Elder Xu Wu has died, who’s this man standing before us?

The exorcists of Xuanyuan Dynasty were the first to act. They held the yellow runes in their hands as they stared at Elder Xu Wu warily!

The envoys of Huangzi Kingdom were also panicked.

Resembling an old cunning fox, Elder Xu Wu quickly scanned his surroundings before he decided to run away.

However, as soon as he lifted his foot, the corner of his shirt was caught by a hound.

The hound was not here before. It caught everyone by surprise when it materialized within the fog all of a sudden. It bit Elder Xu Wu fiercely with its fangs and tore his flesh!

The soul of Elder Xu Wu was unreservedly removed from his physical body and his physical body turned into a pool of black water in the blink of an eye!

However, the eyes of his soul suddenly began to glow in crimson. He was like a hostile ghost that wore an eerie grin as if he was always ready to attack everyone.

The hound did not give him any chance to infect the others. It opened its mouth and swallowed him as a whole!

The crowd was terrified by the scene.

It was an absurdly eventful day.

They were too overwhelmed and did not know how to react anymore.

The Ministers of the War Dragon Dynasty were undoubtedly thrilled.

On the other hand, the envoys of Xuanyuan Dynasty felt a chill down their spine.

Elder Xu Wu had died a long time ago and had now turned into an evil spirit!

This would indubitably affect Xuanyuan Dynasty greatly!
