If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1098 Sword Slaying Yama
"King Qin Guang, what are you doing?" Yang Li exclaimed excitedly. "We are the Celestial Masters of the Great Qin Dynasty, honored guests of the Underworld. How can you arbitrarily reduce our merits?"

King Qin Guang continued to bury himself in writing.

When he reduced Zhao He's Yin energy, even an ordinary ghost like Zhao He sensed it—he felt very bad, uncomfortable, and irritable.

Those who practiced the Celestial Masters Dao, such as Yang Li and Xiao Yu, felt it even more clearly.

"If you continue to roar, I can continue to deduct your Yin energy!"

King Qin Guang spoke to the "flirtatious boy" Yang Li, but his eyes were coldly fixed on Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu originally had no obsession with Yin Gong or Tian Gong, but she was still angered by King Qin Guang's targeted behavior.

"Yang Li, shut up! This is the King of Hell's palace, where the King of Hell can do whatever he wants." She shouted at Yang Li.

—If it's going to flare up, it'll have to wait until Empress Dowager Zhao's business is finished, and until we leave this hellish place.

Yang Li remained angry but said nothing more.

Xiao Yu looked at Empress Dowager Zhao again and said impatiently, "Empress Dowager, stop making a fuss! Even if we take you out of the underworld, even if the underworld doesn't send ghost messengers to arrest you."

Hu Hai and Li Si would definitely not let you wander around.

They have many extraordinary individuals under their command, and sooner or later they will be ruthless enough to use magic to forcibly send you back to the City of the Wrongfully Dead, and then repeat today's experience.

Even if you behave yourself and don't provoke them, they will still ignore you.

Without the protection of a king's blessed land, how long can an ordinary blessed land allow you to enjoy your blessings?

Even living in an ordinary burial site, you might not feel any enjoyment.

Would you be willing to step down from your position as regent empress dowager and live a comfortable life as an ordinary old lady in the countryside?
If you had been content with being ordinary, you wouldn't be in this situation today.

He honestly allowed King Qin Guang to determine the cause and effect of good and evil.

"Once we get to the Fifth Court, I'll ask King Yama for a favor on your behalf."

"What favors do you ask for?" Empress Dowager Zhao asked.

“First determine the guilt, then the punishment, and finally I will do what I can to ask for your grace,” Xiaoyu said.

"They've already been sentenced, what's the use of begging for mercy? It's still just 'doing what you can.' Yu Fengxian, you're so heartless!" Empress Dowager Zhao exclaimed.

King Qin Guang coldly said, "Zhao Ji, if you have nothing to say, I will immediately send your document to the other Kings of Hell. You may leave now."

The Ten Kings of Hell each have their own duties.

King Qin Guang in the First Hall is only responsible for determining the facts of the crime.

As long as the spirits of the dead are still dissatisfied and cry out for justice, King Qin Guang cannot ignore them.

Of course, the deceased must genuinely feel that they were wronged.

If one merely makes wild accusations and denies the truth, one will not be able to open one's mouth under the divine might of King Qin Guang.

For example, Empress Dowager Zhao at this time.

She had previously tried to deny all the crimes.

After being reflected in the Mirror of Karma, she will see all kinds of causes and sins, which others can see, and she will also feel her own "true heart".

Having confessed his guilt, Zhenxin could no longer speak before King Qin Guang.

However, Empress Dowager Zhao was indeed filled with resentment and could not deny the crimes she had been convicted of, so she could still defend herself.

She truly felt wronged.

"King Yama, I admit I am guilty, but I am truly wronged!"

I took out a large number of rare treasures from the royal treasury and used them to bribe the Marquis of Donghai.

They not only accepted the gifts, but also expressed their absolute loyalty.

They also swore an oath to me that I would be the Queen of Guanzhong, and that the lands of the six kingdoms of Shandong would be at their disposal, allowing them to choose any one of them to be directly appointed as a king of a different surname, and to establish their own kingdoms.

Regardless of whether this was right or wrong, they did break their vow and betray me.

I have the intention to eliminate the disobedient princes and ensure the eternal stability of my own kingdom.

But those military commanders who wanted to become kings of different surnames were also the mortal enemies of the Ying princes!

Our interests align.

In fact, they had always had doubts after I made the promise to make him a king.

He has repeatedly expressed, both openly and secretly, his fear of Fusu and the other princes to me and Lao Ai.

That's why Lao Ai discussed with them the matter of ordering Fusu to commit suicide.

From beginning to end, they were all trying to lure me in and trick me into their trap!

King Qin Guang nodded and said, "That is true. Li Si and Yu Yu have been deceiving you and Lao Ai from the very beginning."

They look down on you, don't believe you can keep your promises, and are not truly loyal to you.

You and Lao Ai also suspected them and tested them in various ways.

These are nothing more than power struggles and intrigues; you simply made a few missteps. They cannot be used as an excuse to justify your sins.

Empress Dowager Zhao said sternly, "I will not defend myself now. I only ask to drag Huhai, Li Si, and Yu Yu down to hell with me to vent my anger!"

King Qin Guang shook his head and said, "The evil deeds you have committed are not limited to the few things that directly led to your death."

Even when Ying Zheng was still alive, you were already arrogant and domineering, treating human life like dirt countless times.

After Ying Zheng's death, you only cared about your own enjoyment, and mobilized millions of laborers to expand the Epang Palace and build a mausoleum, causing untold suffering to the people.

At this very moment, in the City of the Wrongfully Dead, how many vengeful ghosts hate you to the bone?
At that time, you already had a lot of bad karma. The underworld only recorded it, but did not send any ghost messengers to take you to hell.

Because you are a very important person.

Hu Hai and Li Si are now also very powerful and influential people with special privileges.

By what right do you expect me to immediately arrest them and send them to hell?

Empress Dowager Zhao shouted hoarsely, "There are no special privileges; they should exist as a matter of course!"

Xiaoyu's cheek muscles twitched slightly.

However, while feeling disgusted, she also realized that the idea that "privileges of the nobility" (mainly derived from the emperor's authority) should not exist was not just her own.

Even Empress Dowager Zhao would utter this phrase.

It is evident that the cry of "the privileges of a king should not exist" has been uttered by countless people.

What the people desire is what Heaven ordains.

Public opinion can influence the will of Heaven.

Public opinion is fierce, and the way of heaven changes.

In the depths of her being, Xiaoyu once again felt a sense of "being in harmony with the Way of Heaven".

She suddenly understood the will of Heaven: the power of the emperor should be stripped!

"Could it be that the theme of this great calamity is not the fall of Qin and the rise of Han, but rather the opportunity of the Chu-Han Contention to destroy the 'Human Emperor' and establish the 'Son of Heaven'?" Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

In the past, there were also human emperors who switched between the titles of "Human Sovereign" and "Son of Heaven".

When power is insufficient, he considers himself the Son of Heaven. But once he has gathered the power of the human king, he'll be damned the Son of Heaven. He is the Emperor of Humanity, the ruler of the human world, and on equal footing with the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the heavens!

This great calamity may deprive the human emperor of the opportunity to maneuver freely. From the perspective of the laws of heaven, it may abolish the "human emperor's authority."

There was no way to jump the queue anymore; he could only obediently be the "Son of Heaven."

Xiao Yu "aligned with the Way of Heaven" and comprehended the secrets of Heaven, and King Qin Guang on the dragon throne immediately sensed it.

He glanced at Xiaoyu, feeling irritated, but ultimately didn't lash out.

There was no reason for him to lose his temper.

"The privileges of the most powerful are limited to judgment in the underworld. Cause and effect, karma, will ultimately fall upon them and upon you; there is no escaping it. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, just like you are now, aren't you suffering retribution?" King Qin Guang said.

Empress Dowager Zhao exclaimed, "As the Empress Dowager, it is only natural for me to allow the people to build palaces and mausoleums."

Yu Yu, a bastard, rebelled, which is intolerable to Heaven and Earth and arouses the wrath of both gods and men!
Why did my retribution come so quickly, while they are still alive and well?

King Qin Guang was already feeling like his heart was on fire and his mind was being fried in oil because of Yu Fengxian, and then the Empress Dowager Zhao kept yelling at him.

He blurted out the word "heavenly secrets," saying, "I will not argue for Li Si and Yu Yu; all rewards and punishments will be determined by cause and effect."

But I can tell you clearly that their deposition of you and their strangulation of you were all ordained by Heaven!

You were able to serve as regent empress dowager for ten years, and you should thank Meng Zhenjun for defying fate and changing your destiny.

Now that the ten-year period has ended, Meng Zhenjun has left Xianyang. Zhao Gao, in alliance with Li Si and Yu Yu, strangled you, exterminated Lao Ai's entire clan, and finally enthroned Huhai as the Second Emperor of Qin.

This was a date set ten years ago. Now the time has come, the appointed day has arrived, and you still won't accept your fate?

"Heavenly secrets" possess special power, enabling people to sense things.

At this time, the "heavenly secret" was still revealed by King Qin Guang in the Yama King's Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhao immediately felt the "power of destiny," and without any doubt, she was stunned.

Xiaoyu is in a state of "aligning with the Dao of Heaven," so the feeling is naturally more obvious and stronger.

The surge of emotion was like the tide of the Qiantang River, surging in wave after wave, unstoppable.

Her hands, hidden beneath her wide sleeves, unconsciously began to calculate rapidly.

Previously, she was merely "in accordance with the Way of Heaven," but now she almost found the feeling of "Li Shi, the judge of the City God's office in Fuli, who could decide fates."

Being able to communicate directly with "God".

The destiny of the Great Qin Dynasty is as clear as the "Water Pearl Marriage" of the Li family back then, as clear as the lines on the palm of one's hand.

"Oh no! According to the destiny determined by 'Heaven' earlier, Hu Hai will be able to ascend the throne this time."

However, after Huhai ascended the throne, the important civil and military officials of Qin were brutally murdered, and Qin was destined to perish within three years!

Following the "heavenly secret" spoken by King Qin Guang, Xiao Yu immediately followed the clues and found the "heavenly mandate" below.

The key is that she is a time traveler with memories of her past life. By following the clues, she can find out the details one by one, including many details that she didn't know in her previous life.

King Qin Guang, who was speaking sternly on the dragon throne, sensed something again and his expression changed drastically: Oh no, I have revealed the secret of heaven! Yu Fengxian has grasped the secret of heaven, and the destiny of heaven is about to change drastically!
"Yu Fengxian, how dare you scheme against me!"

King Qin Guang, unable to bear it any longer and filled with shame and anger, roared and suddenly activated the Yama Divine Register.

The sky above the First Hall of Yama immediately changed dramatically.

Auspicious clouds and rosy hues were obscured by dark clouds.

The divine laws of the "Blessed Land World" are like the strings of a pipa, being rapidly plucked by an invisible hand.

The natural order has been completely disrupted.

The secrets of the noodles, which were already as obscure as a stew, were now completely blurred, turning from distinct strands of noodles into a mushy mess that was utterly indistinguishable.

Inside the main hall, Yang Li, Empress Dowager Zhao, and a group of ghosts and gods felt that the King of Hell on the dragon throne had suddenly become a thousand feet tall, obscuring the world in front of them.

King Qin Guang became the "First Hall of Yama - Small World" itself.

The "world" reached out and grabbed Xiaoyu's thoughts and senses.

The most direct feeling is that the "Hall of Enlightenment" deep in her soul seems to have been hit hard by a battering ram from the sky, and is about to be shattered.

Her head was buzzing, and she was feeling a little dizzy.

"King Qin Guang, you're courting death!" she wanted to roar in her heart.

However, she was still in a state of "harmony with the Heavenly Way," and her mind was in a state of "dazed clarity": her thoughts and will were confused by the "Yanwang Palace Small World - Heavenly Way" controlled by King Qin Guang, and she was in a daze, but her fighting instincts were very clear.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! King Qin Guang is abusing his power and committing heinous acts! Help me!"

But what came out of her mouth was this sentence.

King Qin Guang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously released his mind to search for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva "below the Yama King's Palace".

His movements became somewhat sluggish.

"Clang~~" A half-foot-long sky-blue hairpin flew out from Xiaoyu's hair bun. The hairpin split in two in mid-air, turning into two swords, Qiao and Shi.

One sword light was as dazzling as the sun, while another was as gentle as the moon.

In an instant, everyone in the Yama's Palace was enveloped in sword light, as if they saw a bright moon and a sun shining together, splitting the "Qin Guangwang World" in two.

"Pfft~~~" In reality, inside the Yama King's palace, taking advantage of the moment when King Qin Guang was distracted, Qiao Shi crossed two swords and slashed, separating the Yama King's fine head from his neck.

The sword light was not dazzling, but it was very fast and the blade was incredibly sharp, cutting through even the realm of the King of Hell.

Yes, only by cutting open the "absolute territory" protecting King Qin Guang can we reach King Qin Guang himself.

"Oh dear, what did I do?!"

Driven by her fighting instincts, she killed everyone before Xiaoyu's rationality returned slightly, and she let out an unexpected exclamation.

Well, without King Qin Guang stirring up the heavens with his "hand of the world" and disturbing her senses, Xiao Yu immediately returned to normal.

She was dumbfounded when she saw the blood-dripping flying sword, the spurting blood from the neck, and the head of Yama, whose eyes were wide open in anger and who died with his eyes wide open.

However, she felt only annoyance and had no doubt or surprise about the matter of beheading Yama.

Could Sun Wukong kill the Ten Kings of Hell with his golden cudgel inside the Yama Palace?
The answer is obvious.

Let alone ten Yama Kings, even a hundred Yama Kings would be turned into mincemeat by the berserk Wukong.

In the First Hall of Yama, in King Qin Guang's own divine realm, he is nearly invincible, yet there is a limit to his power.

If Wukong can break through his limits, Xiaoyu also has a chance.

Well, at this point, it's not 100% certain that we can break through the limits of Yama's divine power and authority; it's only possible if we find the right opportunity.

Because the "Qin Guangwang's method of forceful killing" was only three-quarters complete, a serious lag occurred.

Her own cultivation level was sufficient, but the big data for completing the Purple Mansion deduction was insufficient. She lacked understanding of Yama's divine power and authority, making it difficult to continue the analysis.

Because she had already completed three-quarters of the method of killing, she had a pretty good understanding of King Qin Guang's divine arts and vital points.

The method of "suddenly launching an attack" has long been derived.

Given the opportunity to launch a sudden attack, even if the opportunity is not ideal, she can suddenly unleash her power and kill him.

The invocation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva just now was meant to disturb King Qin Guang's mind and create an opportunity for a decisive blow.

Now that the opportunity has been seized, Xiao Yuren felt a powerful force awakening from the depths of the underworld and rapidly spreading towards the First Hall. He was paralyzed.

We've made a huge mistake.
