Chapter 732: Chapter 602: Regeneration of Flesh, Catching Them All in One Sweep

The pitch-black passage between the two realms rapidly receded behind him.

The originally warm and gentle breeze from the sunny side gradually transitioned into a bone-chilling Yin wind, which oddly refreshed the two Ghost Gods.

The Taoist ability within them, suppressed by "Qin Law," suddenly relaxed.

Lord Hao Li pursued Wang Yuan’s footsteps closely through the escape light, fearing being left behind in the Mortal World.

Watching the figure ahead who sprinted while signalling for him to catch up, Lord Hao Li’s eyes flickered, and thoughts raced through his mind:

’The Eastern Ghost Emperor’s cultivation has been too brief; his foundation must be shallow.

In the vast Fengdu Ghost City, there have never been many substantial Ghost Gods stationed.

It is merely to ensure the minimum necessary Yin Officials and Ghost Officers for the six paths of reincarnation.

If not for the absolute necessity of additional hands, the native Heavenly Dao would likely not wish to keep anyone.

This has resulted in the mighty Eastern Ghost Emperor having almost no control over the territories outside Fengdu City.

Even attacking the realms ruled by the Underground Master relies on the power of the Mortal World’s Nine Soldiers Immortal Officials.

Those Immortal Officials, poorer than ghosts, constantly plunder westward behind Yin Mountain, but only invade the Underground Master’s territories, without clashing with me in the slightest.

This time, the Ghost Emperor has rescued me, disregarding past conflicts, likely intending to recruit me and the Green Seal Sages under his command.

The vast Underworld truly cannot do without many powerful beings.

Realizing this, Lord Hao Li’s heart suddenly steadied.

This reason is far more plausible than the naive "repaying evil with kindness."

At the same time, he felt that this opportunity was incredibly rare.

His eyes slightly lowered, concealing the uncontrollable ferocity within them.

’Before Wang Qianshan’s rise, the Underground Master, a Demi Immortal, although powerful,

was like an ’Earth-Bound Spirit,’ always trapped in the Asura Ghost Country, unable to utilize even a tenth of his powers.

I, Lord Hao Li, am essentially the premier vassal among the countless ghost nations behind Yin Mountain.

Even those Ghost Kings who have aligned with the Underground Master must look up to me, daring not to confront me openly.

Wang Qianshan is different, this ferocious dragon crossing the river.

Since taking over Fengdu City, his power has rapidly expanded, first assuming the Divine Positions of King Yanluo and the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

Then, with unprecedented speed, he ascended to the Dharma Image realm and deployed the Nine Divisions Immortal Officials to sweep through the hundreds of nations behind Yin Mountain.

I may not know what other prerequisites besides ’Corpse Dissection’ are needed for the promotion ceremony of the Yin Heaven Son.

But it’s clear he aims to dominate the entire Yin Department, aspiring to unquestionably become the supreme Yin Heaven Son!

Seeing this ferocious dragon about to transform completely into a tyrant, as long as he rules the Yin Department, what good days would remain for me?’ he mused.

Quietly, he swallowed the "Tai Yue Qi Tian Sword" he had been carrying in his hand.

Not only to deceive Wang Yuan but also to be ready to gather the force of all his ghost officials and ghost people, to strike with a groundbreaking blow!

’Since the man saved my life,

he must now intend to behave like the vassals of the Mortal World, using the life-saving grace to appoint and grant me titles.

Little does he know, once... I slay you, all—Ghost Emperor’s Divine Position, "Small Book of Life and Death," and all treasures of Fengdu Ghost City—will belong to me.

Upon reaching the Yin side, act immediately!’

Opposing the [Killing Tree]’s faction does not necessarily make one a good person.

As evil thoughts arose in Lord Hao Li’s heart, a thick cloud of debt karma immediately began to roll overhead, faintly echoing with the wails and moans of ten thousand ghosts.

If Wang Yuan knew what Lord Hao Li was thinking right now, he would certainly shake his head and remark:

"Hesitation leads to defeat!

Humans should not lead too comfortable lives.

Once one lives in luxury for too long, even if they maintain the fierce determination they had from humble beginnings, they inevitably become cautious and hesitant.

The consequence of wanting to have it all is invariably losing everything.

If Lord Hao Li had acted immediately in the passage between the two realms,

even if he couldn’t successfully ambush Wang Yuan, there was a chance he could utilize his own power to break the passage and land elsewhere,

successfully distancing himself from Wang Yuan, the Fishing Man.

At most, he’d risk being torn apart by the spacetime turbulence.

But this man’s greed gets the better of him, deceived by Wang Yuan’s apparent "deference to the wise" pretense—no, it is his own greed deceiving himself, foolishly aiming to win it all.

The end result can only be... losing everything.

Pop!

A sudden burst of air resounded within the Yin side of the Small Thousand World, and the figures that had just appeared seamlessly vanished again in an instant.

In reality, two Ghost Gates had quietly merged.

Having just landed on the Yin side, they immediately rushed together into the bottom level of Wang Yuan’s [Other Shore Three Realms], the [Yama Palace].

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

With the world shifting, Lord Hao Li was momentarily disoriented.

He felt the area was as filled with Yin energy as he had imagined a royal tomb’s Yin side would be, but then what was the blaring "Yama Palace" all about?

Taking advantage of his confusion, an avatar of King Yama wearing a majestic Crown Robe had already ascended to his throne in the palace.

The rules of this layer’s Inner Scene Heaven and Earth thunderously descended.

—Justice is clear, retribution is certain!

[Once enemies are dragged into the Yama Palace, under the influence of "Ghostly Spell," they forget everything that happened before their arrival.

The moment they believe they have died, they completely turn into powerless ordinary people, utterly at King Yama’s mercy to be flattened or rounded at will.

They are sentenced according to "Yin Law" (or without it).]
