Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 199 Lord of the Underworld
There were more than twenty ghost soldiers, and their formation was rather shabby.

Li Xuan recalled the scene of entering the underworld in the late Qing Dynasty, which was incredibly shocking. Ghost messengers and soldiers walked around, and there were dimensional divisions in various places.

Now look at this underworld.

It's hard to describe...

One of the ghostly soldiers seemed to recognize Qingzheng and shouted, "Qingzheng, how could you bring a living person in without permission? What is his identity? Why did the Gates of Hell make a sound?"

Qingzheng didn't know either.

Seeing this, Li Xuan realized that since he was in the underworld, he could use the Nine Springs Command. He took the token from his waist, raised it, and said, "I am a disciple of the lineage of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, serving as the Left Judge of the General Records Office of Fengdu, and participating in the affairs of the ghosts and gods of the Six Heavens of the Northern Underworld. This is my official token!"

Fengdu General Records Institute?
What kind of courtyard was that? The ghost soldiers looked at each other, completely clueless.

The leader raised his spear and shouted, "No matter who you are, go to the jail first. We'll judge you for trespassing in the underworld when our general returns! And Qingzheng, you too..."

Qing gritted his teeth, drew his rusty longsword, and stood in front of Li Xuan, explaining loudly, "Mr. Li is not a bad person. He is very likely a legitimate official of the underworld. Don't cause any misunderstandings. Let's find the Ghost Kings first. They are knowledgeable and will surely be able to clear up the misunderstanding!"

How dare a mere ghost messenger draw his sword against the Yin soldiers!

The ghost soldiers were immediately enraged and slowly approached: "Qingzheng, you dare to draw your sword, your crime is compounded, and the Ghost King will surely strip you of your ghost messenger status!"

Li Xuan took a step forward, raised the Nine Springs Commander slightly, and said with a touch of magic in his voice, "I am the Left Judge. You are ignorant of the law, do you know your crime!"

The command from the underworld immediately emitted a faint light!

The ghost soldiers trembled, feeling an immense pressure wash over them. They lost their grip on their weapons, their spears clattering to the ground, and their knees slammed heavily against the ground!

"How could this happen? My body..."

"What kind of spell is this?"

Li Xuan finally confirmed that the ghost soldiers in this underworld were all makeshift crews, and the ghost generals and ghost kings might be too.

He held the command in his left hand and took out the Seal for Inspecting Ghosts and Gods of the Three Realms in his right hand. He tapped it lightly and said loudly, "Ghost generals and ghost kings of this place, come before this command at once!"

The seals clashed, and an invisible force spread out!
The interiors of buildings throughout the underworld lit up, and even blurry figures appeared out of thin air, moving about...

These figures are dressed in the style of ancient people; could they be former ghost officials?

Several figures flew in from a distance.

They landed on the ground somewhat disheveled. They were all dressed in black suits, and six of them had missing facial features; none of them were whole.

Li Xuan saw the "God of Song," the man with the black umbrella who appeared in the finale of "The Exorcist."

There were a few other men in suits who were fully clothed, exuding a strong aura; you could even see the muscle definition in their bodies through their suits…

A man in a suit, missing an ear, said grimly, "Who are you, daring to use such methods against us!"

Li Xuan didn't know what level the Six Ghost Kings were in the underworld, but if they were newly established positions, they were obviously not enough to impress him, the Left Judge of the Fengdu Records Office.

He slightly raised the token, and the men in suits tensed up, as if they were resisting some force.

I see……

Li Xuan, as a legitimate Fengdu official, is above the Six Ghost Kings!

This is a truly dominant, orthodox level of dominance!
He quite liked the multi-talented "God of Songs," but in this world, this eyeless ghost king only resembled the God of Songs in appearance...

Not wanting to waste time, Li Xuan picked up the token again and said in a commanding tone, "Lord of the Underworld, come to see me!" A loud noise came from the mountain behind the six Ghost King buildings, but the Lord of the Underworld did not appear.

Ok……

Could it be that my rank is not as high as the Lord of the Underworld?

Just then, the Eyeless Ghost King spoke up, saying, "Friend, there's no need to call out. Not to mention you, even we, the Six Ghost Kings, have never truly seen the Lord of the Underworld since the beginning of the Underworld's operation."

The six ghost kings did not make a move. They were all old ghosts who had become demons, and they were inexplicably and helplessly brought here. The token in the young man's hand exuded a pressure that made them have no courage to resist.

Clearly, they couldn't afford to mess with this unknown young man in front of them.

The Ghost King became amiable and approachable, and the Ghost Generals naturally became more obedient. If they insisted on fighting, the opponent was a tough nut to crack, and they would just get beaten up for nothing.

If something can be resolved with words, don't resort to violence...

Li Xuan asked, "Then how did you know about the existence of the Lord of the Underworld?"

The Eyeless Ghost King turned and pointed to the base of the mountain behind him, saying, "This mountain is sealed off by a force. The Lord of the Underworld is inside. We cannot enter, and the Lord of the Underworld cannot leave. When we need to communicate, we go through the gate at the base of the mountain to contact the Lord of the Underworld..."

The Lord of the Underworld's situation sounds rather aggrieved.

Li Xuan jumped up from the ground and glided towards the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, there was a pair of stone doors at this location, with various treasures inlaid on them.

The Six Ghost Kings followed closely behind. Although they were wary of Li Xuan, the Lord of the Underworld had performed immeasurable merits in maintaining the operation of the Underworld. Even though they knew it was impossible, they could not allow Li Xuan to do anything that would dishonor the Lord of the Underworld.

As Li Xuan approached the gate, which was adorned with treasures, all the treasures glowed. A voice rang out from behind the gate: "So it's a disciple of the Fengdu lineage. Judge Zuo, you should be a low-level, second-grade judge."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan realized that the voice behind the door knew this, indicating that it was someone he knew.

He cut to the chase, saying, "You must be the Lord of the Underworld. I, Li Xuan, have trespassed into the Underworld and caused inconvenience. Please forgive me..."

The voice behind the door laughed: "Disciples of the Fengdu lineage have more prestige when meeting each other on equal footing in the underworld. Moreover, you possess the Nine Springs Command and the Seal for Inspecting Ghosts and Gods of the Three Realms, so you are definitely not an ordinary judge!"
Unfortunately, I was behind the door and could only sense the presence, not see it with my own eyes, which was a real pity.

However, I know why you came.

This underworld is so unfamiliar, unlike the traditional netherworld. You, coming from another world, must have many questions.

Li Xuan was startled; this Lord of the Underworld was quite something.

The Lord of the Underworld said, "Six Ghost Kings, Ghost Generals, Ghost Soldiers, and that Ghost Messenger, I need to speak with this judge alone for a few minutes. You may all rest for now..."

The ghost kings were somewhat worried.

The Lord of the Underworld understood their thoughts. After many years together, their relationship was no longer that of ordinary superiors and subordinates, but more like that of an early boss and a founding member of a company...

He said, "Go ahead, if you can't even trust the judges, what else in this world is trustworthy?"

The ghost kings then led the others away, turning back every few steps.

The Lord of the Underworld got straight to the point: "The divine system of this world has collapsed, but it's not due to some kind of invasion or conspiracy theory. It's simply because its 'lifespan' has ended, just like a person's birth, aging, sickness, and death. The world is the same; it's a huge body, and the various systems inside are like a person's internal organs. When the time comes, it naturally ceases to function..."

The gods here are not eternal; they vanish when they are gone. Without the gods, evil spirits run rampant, spreading like cancer cells, ultimately dragging the entire world toward destruction.

"My abilities are limited. Having discovered the problems in this world, I can only boldly take a rebellious step, filling the position of the underworld's divine authority and taking over the function of this ailing 'organ'..."
