Chapter 10: CHAPTER 10: UNDERWORLD, FACING (1)

The gates of hell were icily close. The screaming subsided as well. The scene took on its former form once more.

Binh An's hand still clutched to his chest, witnessed from beginning to end the injustice and cruelty of the council's verdict. Just now, he was about to go against all odds and interfere, but Yin Binh prevented him from doing so. He could only stand by and witness the young boy being swallowed to the bottom of hell.

It was not right!

In the past, he got to learn a little about the underworld and how it functions. Things definitely didn’t work out like this.

Binh An has always known that the Yin Ti Emperor was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but only to those wicked criminals who while living have spread their crimes everywhere. 

As for these recent cases, was it really possible for the Council of Justice to have such a serious lack of comprehension and a reasonable attitude towards them? If things kept going the way they were, wouldn't any souls be able to experience reincarnation?

He was aware that he wasn't in the position to be mindful of others, his fate was in a situation where a thousand weights were hanging on a strand of hair, and he should just stick to himself. 

However, after witnessing with his very own two eyes, the trial of the two people in front of him, Binh An couldn't help himself, hot blood rushed to his face, and he was unsure of what to think. Only after a while of silence with his face hung low, he suddenly lifted it up and put on a cold and dangerous smile, with a pair of deadly eyes that could make people shudder in fear. 

The Gates finally opened again. He calmly walked right in with a brazenly arrogant attitude on his face, the complete opposite to the rest of the spirits.

The council was naturally alerted by this, in addition, he also sensed their murderous intent toward him. 

The air became progressively colder, making it harder for Binh An to breathe. The smoky mist dissipated, and patches of ice started to seep into the palace's crevices, yet, Binh An didn't budge and the smile grew even wider, he said solemnly.

“Hello to all your graces sitting high above. It was a pleasure to meet you all.”

Situated in his unreachable supreme seat, the Emperor with one hand on his chin, revealing a devilish smile, in response to his extravagant attitude.

“Binh An, we are all waiting for you!”

Binh An didn't take it as a threat, if it was a normal person, they would probably have pissed their pants, not Binh An, he just put on an indifferent face with a mysterious smile on the side, calmly replied.

“I must be truly blessed for generations to be welcomed like this. Well, there's no need for you to be so formal, I didn't suppose the entire formidable council would expect to meet me in person so much, I have never imagined having fans in the Underworld."

In contrast to the Yin Ti Emperor's tranquility, the Officials felt as if they were sitting on hot coals; once they couldn't take it any longer, they eventually spoke up.

“Binh An you! Know your place! Don't act all crazy here! You are standing in the presence of the Underworld Council, who will determine your own fate, you should be sensible and reconsider your attitude!”

This Official was speaking, when suddenly another individual stepped in, his voice expressing all his attitude.

"People like him, whose crimes are rifles, why waste time explaining? Do you think if you say he has to be obedient, he will listen? We don't need to take up the valuable time of the Yin Ti Emperor, he should be banished directly to the bottom of hell for eternity, never to escape, and forced to hard labor until his soul is all scattered, this will help prevent any further consequences to the human world."

Binh An stated while raising his hands in the air as if to surrender, he said.

“I don't object to this ruling, however, having the opportunity to come here and meet your graces in person, shouldn't we have a little bit of a conversation before finalizing any sentences for me? In any case, the two people in front of me have the right and the time to plead, and I should do as well. Does it make sense?”

"You still dare to talk back!"

"It's just that after watching the two cases with my own eyes, I can't help but feel disgruntled." Binh An pretended to be sad. 

“You have the audacity to doubt our verdict. You have stepped out of line!"

"Wait! Wait!" Binh An exclaimed while waving his hand: “I haven't said anything yet! You guys just won't listen! I can see that your mouths work faster than your brains, that’s why you keep misunderstanding me. I am actually disgruntled on behalf of all of you, the purpose for whatever I am about to say is to obtain justice for all your graces sitting here, absolutely nothing else, don't you want to hear it?"

“Mind your tone! Otherwise, we'll have your tongue cut off right now!"

“What are we waiting for? This maniac is clearly trying to make fun of…”

“Let him talk, let's see what he has to say for himself!” The Yin Ti Emperor suddenly interrupted one of the officials.

The Official immediately understood the commandment, he refrained from making further comments, shut his lips, and sat back down, managing to keep himself collected while listening to Binh An.

Binh An was not in a hurry, casually clasped his hands behind his back, taking his time walking back and forth, and pondered for a while before finally speaking.

"I have read and studied the Underworld extensively, and of course, I have heard innumerable times about the high renown of Yin Ti Emperor.

It was he who oversaw the second realm. He is appreciated for being a powerful, resolute individual who is also understanding, sensible, and wise. He represents justice and the balance of the truth.

His judgment is clear-cut, he doesn't let personal feelings cloud his vision, and the living world truly reveres him, ranking him even higher than parents and other family members. This is an undisputed fact. “

Binh An took a breath before continuing.

“However, the two people coming here before me, dare to stand in front of this formal trial, stand in front of you renowned officials, hurl insults and obscenities at everyone. They were both so blasphemous and irreverent. It must be that their eyes are blind and their morals had depraved. How could that woman curse you... what's that again… Ah… calling you a bunch of SCOUNDRELS, a bunch of ANIMALS, a bunch of ROTTEN PEOPLE, even saying that you DISTORTED THE TRUTH, SLANDERED her for murder. It just proved that a woman's tongue is sour and sharp, I can't even stand it.”

Binh An emphasized some words while making some angry gestures.

“Then came the second guy, that young intellectual-looking boy. He had a kind, innocent appearance and a nice heart that knew how to consider others, but he was also quite talkative. His cursing was awful and absurd, don't you think? What did he say again? You don't remember, right? I will reiterate this for you. He blasted everyone for being TOO RIGID, only knowing how to READ the paper and REPEAT what was written, there was no creativity or conscience. If every regulation must be obeyed precisely and without error, is there a need for the council anyway. Well, he basically slammed you all for only being DECORATIONS and COPYCATS. Tsk, tsk, such a vicious boy, he for sure had a cunning tongue”

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH!” One of the Officials furiously ordered. Yet Binh An paid no attention to him and kept on his monologue.

“The two of them really consider themselves bigger than the sky, it's sad that there are people like that existed. I'm sorry you're having to deal with them.

Every rule has its own value, and even if it becomes obsolete with time, we must continue to practice it because it has become a tradition. There should be no modifications in those rules because there are no changes in whatever, wherever, or whoever exists in this universe; everything still remains the same as it has since its first took form.

They must understand that they can't just randomly decide for themselves, they have to follow exactly what has been written in the books, word by word, for thousands and thousands of years and so on. I'd say, anyone and absolutely anyone, even the one who doesn't know anything better would do the same as all your graces. Yet those two people dare to question your decision..."

There is a clear mockery tone in his voice, and those words seemed to successfully pierce through the conscience of those supremes sitting high above.
