The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 263 The Judgement of the King of Hell
According to what the King of Hell knew about Yan Lan, she would not be willing to take Xia Yu back to the underworld. Moreover, he could tell at a glance that Yan Lan's eyes were not normal when she looked at Xia Yu.

Yan Lan had the "universal marriage thread" tied on her hand. When her father questioned her, she was very worried that Xia Yu would be punished for it, so she hesitated and was reluctant to tell the reason why she killed Luo Fan.

The King of Hell noticed something was wrong and glared at Xia Yu: "How dare you, Xia Yu, is this how you use the red string of Yue Lao?"

Xia Yu did not dare to refute, and immediately cast a spell to untie the "universal marriage thread" on Yan Lan's wrist, then kowtowed to the King of Hell and explained: "Please forgive me, King of Hell, Luo Fan was in danger at the time, Yan Lan was determined to kill him, and my magic power was damaged and I couldn't stop her, so I had to resort to this last resort."

As the red line was withdrawn, "hatred" once again struck Yan Lan's heart. After hearing what Xia Yu said, she angrily looked at Xia Yu with cold eyes: "You...are using the red line to control me again?"

"Yan Lan."

"Father."

"Tell the truth."

"Yes."

Yan Lan told the King of Hell everything with exaggeration, and Xia Yu kept correcting her nonsense.

Yan Lan was so angry that he shouted, "Father, these two people deserve to die. In my opinion, it would be best if they were all thrown into the eighteenth level of hell!"

"Lord Yama, you can see clearly that Yan Lan deliberately started a fire out of selfishness, causing one death and two injuries to Lan Tian's family. Even though I arrived this time, I couldn't stop her from killing Luo Fan..."

When Xia Yu mentioned "Lan Tian", Black and White Impermanence also remembered this person. His soul had just arrived in the underworld not long ago, but it was not his turn yet in the queue for judgment.

"Who is Lan Tian?"

The King of Hell thought to himself: This name sounds familiar, could it be...

"Reporting to the King of Hell, Lan Tian is also a newly captured ghost. His soul and body are not the same person. His soul is actually the ghost Hua Nanjin who committed suicide that year. He is now queuing up to be tried." Hei Wuchang explained.

“Father, Lan Tian deserved to die. He was Hua Nanjin who wanted to return to the world that year. He took advantage of the fat and thin ghost officials being drunk and robbed Yue Yang’s reincarnation sign with the audacity to exchange places with Yue Yang, resulting in him reincarnating for Yue Yang and Yue Yang returning to the world for him.” Yan Lan said angrily.

"Where are the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced?"

"exist."

"Quickly bring Hua Nanjin's soul to the palace."

"Yes."

“Where is the black and white impermanence?”

"exist."

"Call the two ghost officials, Fat and Thin, to the palace."

"Yes."

After a while, Hua Nanjin came to the hall crying, and knelt down in front of the King of Hell, crying: "King of Hell... I am innocent..."

"You are wrongly accusing me!" Yan Lan secretly looked at the real Hua Nanjin, raised her eyebrows proudly, and whispered, "Welcome to my home!"

This scene fell into Luo Fan's eyes. As calm as he was, he was frightened by Yan Lan's smug expression and shuddered.

It turns out this is the real Hua Nanjin!
Xia Yu and Luo Fan saw Hua Nanjin's face at the same time and found it difficult to associate him with Lan Tian.

With a "slap", the King of Hell slammed his hand on the table in front of him and scolded, "You daring little devil, quickly confess the matter of 'soul exchange'!"

"Yes... yes, yes..." Hua Nan responded cautiously, and told the King of Hell the whole story of the "soul swap".

The fat and thin ghost officials came to the hall. They had no idea why the King of Hell wanted to see them. As soon as they entered the hall, they heard Hua Nanjin talking about the "soul-swapping" incident. They were so scared that they knelt down in the hall.

"Forgive me, Lord Yama..."

"Forgive me, Lord Yama..."

The two ghost officials hurriedly admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy, but were finally fined 20,000 strings of ghost money each by the King of Hell and their rest days for this month were cancelled.

Fortunately, only two ghosts were mistaken. If there were more mistakes, he would be fired from his position and banished to the Forgotten River to be punished.

The King of Hell checked the Book of Life and Death again and found that Hua Nanjin had died of old age. Lan Tian had indeed died in vain, but Hua Nanjin was not Lan Tian.

The "soul-swapping" incident was caused by Hua Nanjin alone. The King of Hell sentenced Hua Nanjin to life imprisonment by falling into the Forgotten River and was taken away by the Black and White Impermanence.

As for Luo Fan, he died in vain and his life span was not over yet, so the King of Hell ordered the Ox-Head and Horse-Face to send Luo Fan back to the world.

Luo Fan kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Yama."

Luo Fan was then taken away by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon, leaving only Xia Yu and Yan Lan in the palace. For all these things, the King of Hell thought that Yan Lan had made a big mistake and should be punished. Although Xia Yu was determined to stop Yan Lan from causing a big disaster, her actions also indirectly led to Yan Lan's extreme behavior, and she also had a certain responsibility.

If Xia Yu had not stopped it at the beginning, Yan Lan might have killed the mortal Lan Tian long ago and immediately knew that Hua Nanjin was the reincarnation of Yue Yang.

Xia Yu intervened, but in the end Yan Lan caused the fire. If Xia Yu and Li Jian had not arrived, three lives would have been lost, including Luo Fan. Her willful behavior led to the deaths of four people, and her crime is unforgivable.

Even if Yan Lan is the daughter of him, the King of Hell, he cannot be blatantly partial to her.

"Yan Lan, do you know your crime?" the King of Hell said angrily.

Yan Lan saw that her father was really angry, but she still refused to admit her fault: "Father, you don't blame the people in the fairy world for using the 'red string' and 'forget love water' to play tricks on me, and you don't blame Hua Nanjin, the culprit who caused all this, but ask your daughter if she knows the crime?"

Xia Yu was watching how the King of Hell would deal with Yan Lan.

The King of Hell angrily rebuked Yan Lan: "You sneak in and out of the mortal world at will, without caring about the lives of mortals. Now you have killed someone, and you still don't know your mistake?"

Yan Lan was dissatisfied: "Didn't my father bring Luo Fan back to life? Then he is not dead! As for Hua Nanjin's body holding up the blue sky, he should have died."

The huge hatred made Yan Lan forget to look for Yue Yang for a moment. At the beginning, she was influenced by the "red line" and her mind was on Li Jian, so she didn't pay attention to Yue Yang's whereabouts.

Now that the hatred in her heart was relieved, Yan Lan suddenly thought of Yue Yang. She also remembered that day by the Wangchuan River when those little ghosts said that her husband was Yue Yang.

Yueyang is back and in the underworld.

Yan Lan couldn't help but feel secretly happy when she thought that after dealing with her father, she could go meet Yue Yang and reconcile with him.

But the King of Hell seemed to have seen through Yan Lan's thoughts. Seeing that she refused to admit her fault, he sentenced her: "Princess Yan Lan, you went to the mortal world without permission and killed someone. Your crime is unforgivable."

At this time, Black and White Impermanence had returned to the palace after sending Hua Nanjin's soul to the Wangchuan River.

The King of Hell shouted again: "Black and White Impermanence!"

"In..." Black and White Impermanence glanced at Yan Lan, wondering what kind of punishment the princess would receive.

"Sentence Yan Lan to be whipped 100 times with the 'ghost whip' and fined 30,000 strings of ghost money. Also, go with you to collect souls and subdue 100 'evil ghosts' to atone for his crimes."

One hundred lashes of the "Ghost Whip"? Catch the evil ghost?

Yan Lan thought she had heard it wrong. She knew she would be punished and thought that she would continue to be punished by working as a "laborer" for Meng Po!

"Father, you are actually going to punish me with my 'Ghost Whip'? Besides, 'Soul-stealing and Life-stealing' is the job of the Black and White Impermanence, not me..."

"Take him away." The King of Hell said coldly.

"Yes."

The Black and White Impermanence responded and took Yan Lan away.

"Xia Yu! Just wait for me!"

The people had already left the Yama Palace, but Yan Lan's angry voice could still be heard from afar.

At the same time, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon had supervised Luo Fan's soul to receive the token of returning to life, enter the path of returning to life and successfully return to life.

"Report to the King of Hell, Luo Fan's soul has successfully returned to the world."

After the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons reported, the King of Hell waved his hand and signaled them to leave.

"Thank you, Lord Yama."

Xia Yu did not leave for a long time, just waiting for the news that "Luo Fan's soul came back to life instantly" and to watch the King of Hell deal with Yan Lan.

"You don't need to thank me. I will act impartially if Yan Lan is guilty. However, you trespassed into my underworld, abused the red thread and the 'love water' to play tricks on my underworld princess. I will also report this to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother."

After all, the King of Hell is protective of his daughter. He believes that Yan Lan has suffered a loss, so he is determined to report Xia Yu to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Xia Yu was not afraid either. He kowtowed to the King of Hell respectfully again and said, "King of Hell, please calm down! Xia Yu knows that he was wrong. He will apologize to his master and the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in the future."

When the King of Hell heard these words, he did not look happy.

Xia Yu paused, and then continued, "In addition, Xia Yu also wants to ask the King of Hell to help supervise Yan Lan, so that she will not do anything to 'kill people' in the mortal world again, or be used by others to tie universal marriage lines to mortals and hinder our normal work."

"You are the ones who are in charge of marriage in heaven, but you can't even control the marriage string in your own hands. What kind of gods are you? In mortal terms, if you can't even hold the bowl, how can you eat?"

When the King of Hell said this, Xia Yu was stunned: Is this King of Hell going to pretend anymore?
The King of Hell seemed to think that he had gone too far, and changed the subject, saying, "You can go back now! I know about Yan Lan's matter. As for you, you have already used up a lot of your magic power in the underworld. If you don't leave now, even a god can't leave."
