Chapter 186 Returning to Heaven and Earth, Observing All the Causes and Effects of the Past

Seeing the scene before him, Xi Fangping gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I was here before, and I was harassed and suffered terribly by that King Yama."

Upon hearing this, Roger stared intently at the eerie city of Youdu before him, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Today I will seek justice for you. If the King of Hell in the underworld dares to act so recklessly, I will make him pay a terrible price."

Having said that, he waved his hand and said to Xi Fangping and the Fairy Disenchantment disguised as a maid behind him, "Come in with me!"

The three strode towards the gate of Youdu City.

At the city gate, the thick, gloomy aura resembled tangible ink.

Several ghost messengers leaned listlessly against the moss-covered wall, their bodies hunched over, their faces as pale as paper, and their bluish-black lips occasionally parted to let out a strange laugh.

Sensing the approach of strangers, it immediately perked up, its murky eyes gleaming with greed.

Holding iron chains and shouting in broken voices, they declared, "This is the Netherworld, no living beings are allowed to come near. Leave immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Roger remained calm, staring intently at the group of ghost messengers as if they were a bunch of clowns.

To their shouts, Roger uttered a single word: "Get out."

However, these ghost messengers, being henchmen of the underworld and not under the proper jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, usually act arrogantly and domineeringly, relying on the protection of King Yama.

Enraged by Roger's blatant disregard, they not only refused to make way but also roared and brandished their chains as they charged at Roger and his men.

Upon seeing this, Roger cast a soul-capturing spell.

Those ghost messengers who rushed to the front felt their souls flying uncontrollably toward Roger.

Amidst terrified screams, they transformed into wisps of ghostly light, coalescing into beads.

Roger flipped his palm and caught the beads one by one, turning them into a bracelet.

Then, leading Xi Fangping and Fairy Jinghuan, they strode into Youdu City.

Inside the city, a chilling atmosphere permeated the air, making it difficult to see the roads.

Roger and his two companions made their way towards the Hall of the King of Hell.

Wherever he went, the ghost messengers came to kill him, but Roger easily suppressed and killed them.

Before long, they arrived at the Yama King's Palace.

The palace doors were wide open, and Yama, the King of Hell, sat high above his desk, flipping through the Book of Life and Death, with several ghost officials standing on either side.

Upon seeing someone intrude, Yama raised his head, saw Roger and his two companions, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted loudly:

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is?"

At this moment, Xi Fangping puffed out his chest, standing out like a spirited fighting rooster.

With Roger, whom he considered his "emperor emeritus," backing him up, he instantly felt his back straighten several notches, and his audacity grew to the extreme.

He pointed his index finger at Yama, the King of Hell, and began to curse at the top of his lungs: "The Heavenly Court is here! You heartless and corrupt official, kneel down at once!"

Upon hearing this, Yama, the King of Hell, threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"A high-ranking official in Heaven?"

He opened the Book of Life and Death and sneered, "I want to see who this so-called big shot behind you really is."

The Book of Life and Death was flipped through rapidly in the hands of Yama, the King of Hell.

Suddenly, Yama's hand stopped abruptly, and he laughed.

"From Qingshan County?"

"A mere mortal dares to pretend to be a god?"

"You ignorant fool, how dare you come to my underworld to cause trouble?"

"Men, seize them and throw them into the eighteenth level of hell!" Upon hearing this, Xi Fangping turned around in horror, his eyes widening as he stared intently at Roger, his gaze filled with disbelief.

He was filled with deep regret. He thought he had latched onto the powerful Emperor Emeritus of Heaven, but it turned out he had misjudged him.

Now, forget about seeking justice for my father; I'll lose my life here.

He cursed himself inwardly: "Xi Fangping, you're really blind. This is it, we're completely finished."

At Yama's command, a group of ghost messengers, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, surged in from all directions, completely surrounding Roger and his two companions.

Roger calmly raised his hand, making a grasping motion in the air, and muttered, "Come on, everyone, don't rush, line up and come one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally fierce-looking ghost messengers felt their bodies being pulled uncontrollably by an invisible force, and they all flew towards Roger.

In the blink of an eye, those ghost messengers were all captured and brought into his palm world.

When Yama saw this, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock.

He plopped down on the ground, stammering, "Who...who exactly are you?"

"How could someone possess such extraordinary and all-encompassing abilities?"

Roger placed one foot on the table and snatched the Book of Life and Death from in front of the King of Hell.

"You must give me a clear explanation today regarding Xi Fangping's injustice."

"Otherwise, you can forget about keeping your Yama Palace."

King Yama was so frightened that his face turned ashen. He suppressed his thoughts and hurriedly said, "Immortal, spare my life! Immortal, spare my life!"

"I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended you, my lord. I beg your forgiveness."

Then, Yama, trembling, summoned several ghost messengers: "Quickly, quickly, bring me the soul of Xi Fangping's father, and also that rich man surnamed Yang."

"Isn't he rich? Isn't he able to make the devil do the work?"

"Quickly capture his soul too, so he can try to use it again!"

The King of Hell, used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, pinned the blame for bringing in Roger, this plague god, on that sheep-like rich man.

The ghost messengers dared not delay, and after receiving their orders, they turned into wisps of black smoke and hurriedly departed.

At this moment, Roger's attention was completely drawn to the Book of Life and Death in his hand.

He examined it carefully.

Although this King Yama's strength is mediocre, he's just an imposter.

But this Book of Life and Death is a real treasure.

Upon closer inspection, one can sense its connection to the cycle of reincarnation, as if it firmly controls the life and death of all beings in the world.

Roger's mind suddenly stirred, and he immediately used his divine power to reverse the heavens and the sun, using the Book of Life and Death as a medium to illuminate the entire world.

Time and space seemed to be distorted, and all the causes and effects of the past appeared before Roger's eyes like a revolving lantern.

As Roger was searching, he saw that in the distant past, in a majestic and solemn hall, a tall underworld emperor, dressed in magnificent imperial robes, was sitting on his throne.

He casually tossed the Book of Life and Death onto the table.

At that very moment, the underworld emperor seemed to sense something and turned to look at Roger, as if he could see through the long river of time.

Immediately afterwards, he lightly waved his sleeve, blocking Roger's supernatural ability to spy on him.

Upon seeing this, Roger slowly withdrew his gaze, a surge of emotion welling up within him.

He pondered to himself that the underworld emperor dressed in imperial robes must be the real Emperor of Fengdu.
