Chapter 571 On the verge of breaking out

"Didn't you already issue a warrant for this person's arrest? How come he's showing up near Wanyuanzhai again?"

"Your Honor, Rong Le took advantage of the darkness under the lamp to evade our search and then secretly activated the formation."

However, he himself vanished after the formation was activated, showing that the person behind it all left him no way out; he was merely a link in the soul-absorbing formation's activation.

Li Ze informed them of the investigation results one by one.

"Do you have any leads on who's behind this?"

Li Ze shook his head and said:
"Not yet."

"What are you waiting for? Keep investigating!"

"Yes."

Li Ze did not argue when he was blamed, and turned around and left the judge's hall.

The Black and White Impermanence, who were waiting outside, immediately went up to them and asked in a low voice:

"Captain Lizhe, no results?"

"No, the other party did not leave any clues. Even Rong Le, who activated the formation, had his soul power drained."

"Judge Cui is so worried that he's pulling his hair out every day. Please understand, he's under a lot of pressure because Lord Yama took Ranxi and the other three away."

"Oh? This matter has alarmed Lord Yama?"

Li Ze hadn't expected this to happen.

Black Impermanence was also speechless, and said in a low voice:
“The commotion caused by Ranxi’s natal magic weapon was quite significant. Some innocent ghost cultivators who were caught in the crossfire were indignant, and it seems that this alarmed Lord Yama.”

"I understand. I will do my best to find out who is behind this."

Li Ze replied knowingly.

White Impermanence nodded and said:

"Okay, we will keep you informed if there are any issues with the case."

After watching Li Ze leave, the Black and White Impermanence huddled together and whispered among themselves.

"Brother Bai, do you think Ranxi and the other three will be able to leave the Ghost Realm smoothly?"

"I don't know. It's alarmed even Lord Yama, so it's probably going to be difficult."

"Would that involve the Judge?"

"Of course. He was the one who reached the agreement with Ranxi and the other three, and he was also the one who kept them from leaving. He has to take responsibility."

Black Impermanence frowned and said:
"Brother Bai, I have a feeling that something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

This time, Bai Wuchang didn't refute, but silently nodded and said:
"I also have a feeling that a storm is brewing, but I hope we're just overthinking it."

First Hall: Yama Hall

When Yunxi and the other three were back on solid ground, they were in a different place. The completely dark hall gave off a strong sense of oppression, followed by a feeling of emptiness. Moreover, there was no ghostly aura here, and the Yama, the chief of the main hall who had brought them there, was gone.

Yunxi and the other three exchanged glances, then found a place to sit down and wait quietly. At least this place was much safer than Wanyuanzhai.

A moment later, a short ghost soldier entered the hall, carrying an ebony tray on his head with a teacup on it. He strode in, first walking to Yunxi's side, setting down the tray, pouring her a cup of tea, and then speaking:

"The First Lord said to ask you to wait here for a moment, as he has urgent business to attend to. This is 'Soul-Nourishing Tea,' which will benefit you. It was bestowed upon you by Lord Yama, so please drink it without worry."

After saying that, he held the teacup up to Yunxi's eyes.

"Thank you so much, I'm very grateful!"

Yunxi smiled as she took the teacup, looked at the clear tea in it, and took a small sip.

Hanlian and the other two also picked up their teacups. After pouring four cups of tea and emptying the teapot, the little ghost soldier carried the tray and left the main hall.

After taking a sip of tea, Xun Kun said in a low voice:

"This is indeed a good thing; it can enhance soul power."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, then closed his eyes and began to refine it.

Han Lian and Yun Chen followed suit, and the hall became even quieter. Yun Xi thought for a moment, then poured the Soul-Nourishing Tea from her teacup into a white porcelain bottle, stored it in her spatial storage, and began to close her eyes and circulate the Soul Refining Technique.

Half an hour later, the main hall suddenly began to tremble without warning, and the four people opened their eyes immediately.

"what happened?"

"do not know."

"The Yama Palace has been attacked?"

"No, no ghost would dare to do that."

The four were all bewildered, but dared not leave the Yama's Palace without permission. Just then, the little devil who had served them tea earlier tumbled and crawled into the palace, shouting:
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has occurred!"

Yunxi flashed to the side of the little ghost soldier, grabbed him, and asked in a cold voice:

"What happened?"

"The evil spirits of the eighteen levels of hell in the ghost realm have been released!"

Xun Kun and the other two also gathered around, pressing for answers:
"How could this happen? Who released it?"

The little devil shook his head and said:
"I don't know either, I only know that an evil spirit broke through the barrier of the eighteenth level of hell."

"Then what are you doing here shouting like that? The Chief Yama isn't here."

After regaining her balance, Hanlian spoke.

The little devil patted his head and said:
"Lord Yama has sent you to the entrance to the eighteenth level of hell, and he needs your help to temporarily seal the entrance."

Yunxi's eyes flickered as she stared at the little ghost soldier for a long while, scaring him so much that he kicked his legs. Only then did Xunkun speak up:

"Ranxi, put him down! He shouldn't be lying. I can sense the wisp of soul I severed earlier."

Yunxi suddenly had a bad feeling. She threw the little ghost soldier on the ground, looked at Xunkun and the other two, and then realized that something was wrong. The soul power of the three of them was slowly draining away.

"Xun and Kun, what's going on?"

Xun Kun said coldly:

"I now know the purpose of the person behind this, who is extracting our soul power."

Yunxi raised her hand, intending to send the three of them into the space, but Xunkun stopped her.

"It's no use. The person behind the scenes used the soul power of the three of us as a guide to break through the barrier of the eighteenth level of hell, releasing a large number of evil ghosts and spirits. These can help the evil cultivators and also disrupt the ghost realm."

Yunxi gritted her teeth and said:
"Are you just going to let me watch your soul power run out?"

Xun Kun calmly said:
"Ranxi, let's go and meet up with Lord Yama as soon as possible. Since our soul power can break through the barrier, we can also repair it. We should give it a shot."

"it is good!"

Yunxi didn't waste any time, and picked up the little devil soldier who had just gotten up from the ground, saying:
"You lead the way!"

Then he summoned the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, which protected Xun Kun and the other two as they slipped out of the Yama Palace.

Entrance to the Eighteen Levels of Hell

"Hahaha! I'm finally out!"

"I will devour these ghost messengers and repay the previous punishment a thousandfold!"

"Wow! I'm free!"

Evil spirits and demons kept pouring out from the entrance to hell. After their arrogant roars, they prepared to scatter and flee, but a black gourd sucked these evil spirits and demons into it. After a while, when one gourd was full, another would be used.

Above the eighteen levels of hell, the chief Yama was battling a dark figure, and with each clash, ghost soldiers were caught in the crossfire.

The Chief Yama said coldly:

"You audacious evil cultivator, how dare you cause trouble in the underworld! You will not leave here today!"

"Hmph! I was hoping to let you enjoy a couple more days of leisure as Yama, but you were too ungrateful. So don't blame me!"

After saying that, he took out a mirror and pointed it at Yama, the King of Hell.

My darlings, I'm experiencing some writer's block, so I'll only be posting three chapters today. See you tomorrow!
