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

Chapter 315 Facing the Hall of Reincarnation, the Judge Finally Confesses His Crime

To be honest, Qi Haizhi was completely bewildered since coming from the underworld, suddenly he and his apprentice were about to be sentenced.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He carefully examined Li Xuan and said in a low voice, "I am an assistant judge of the Reincarnation Palace. If I have made a mistake, the Reincarnation Palace will punish me. As for you... I have never heard of any judge in Fengdu. Would you like to come with me to the Underworld for identity verification?"

After a lifetime of cultivation, I finally managed to become a judge; I can't just be punished for no reason like this.

Qi Haizhi knew that driving ghosts to do evil was a serious crime, but his apprentice Maoshanming had no bloodstains on him, indicating that he had never taken a life. How could he be subjected to such severe punishment?
Li Xuan stood up from his chair and said, "Okay, let's go to Fengdu City."

Upon hearing this, Qi Haizhi directly used his judge's pen to open a rift leading to the underworld, saying, "Please..."

Li Xuan nodded and stepped into the crevice, followed by Qi Haizhi and Gui Tou. The City God thought for a moment and then followed into the crevice as well, because he also wanted to see if Fengdu recognized the Grand Judge's status.

The other side of the crack leads directly to the Hall of Reincarnation in the underworld.

Qi Haizhi walked ahead, and all the ghost messengers who passed by nodded and greeted him respectfully, indicating that his status was not low...

Just then, a judge dressed in the same judge's robes walked towards him. Upon seeing Qi Haizhi, he said, "Haizhi, is this register of names good? The Wheel of Reincarnation Palace needs it, so please send it over as soon as possible."

Qi Haizhi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, I'll go right away."

With the phantom of the Wheel King presiding over the Wheel Reincarnation Hall, Qi Haizhi's heart stirred, and he said to Li Xuan, "Fellow Daoist, there is important business in the Wheel Reincarnation Hall. Why don't we go to the Wheel Reincarnation Hall first and then go to Fengdu City?"

Li Xuan was carefully examining the underworld of this world. It was relatively well-developed, unlike the desolate world of "The Exorcist".

He nodded and said, "Okay."

The identity of the Fengdu Judge is legitimate, and with the position of a mid-level, junior-rank Grand Judge, there is no need for him to feel guilty.

The group passed through buildings of varying sizes and arrived at a massive palace. Qi Haizhi took out his waist token, and a spatial rift opened in the palace gates. They went inside and saw that the previously empty palace was now filled with numerous ghost messengers and underworld officials walking around, and even ghosts being escorted...

Everything in this palace has been magnified more than ten times to scale.

Walking here, Li Xuan and his group felt as if they had entered a land of giants, with all the tables and chairs higher than their heads...

Qi Haizhi's steps became lighter and lighter, and everyone could feel that his mood was as light as his steps. Did he think that King Yama could become his protector?

The City God walked at the very back. He might have some minor power in the mortal world, but in the underworld, aside from the right to submit reports, his other rights were uncertain...

His gaze kept shifting between Li Xuan's judge's robe and Qi Haizhi's judge's robe, and he thought to himself, "Neither I, Gui Tou, nor the judge knew of such an official position as the Fengdu Judge, but Li Xuan is so calm and composed. What's going on? Could it be a newly established position in Fengdu?"

With everyone harboring their own thoughts, they finally arrived at the main hall. The hall was shrouded in mist, and the ground seemed to be covered with dry ice, making it impossible to see what the ground looked like.

Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the TV series "Journey to the West" in the real world, where the Lingxiao Palace and the Yama Palace were created with dry ice to the maximum to create an atmosphere...

Qi Haizhi suddenly said, "We've arrived."

A huge rectangular table came into view, behind which sat a dignified man with a short beard. He wore a magnificent robe reminiscent of the King of Hell, a crown on his head, and was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of solemnity. When his gaze fell upon the crowd, a thunderous force gathered between his brows, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

Only two words were in Li Xuan's mind.

giant!

The Wheel King, over ten meters tall, exudes immense pressure...

Qi Haizhi took out a booklet from his sleeve, held it above his head, and said loudly, "Assistant Judge Qi Haizhi presents this list of names!"

The booklet disappeared, and when it reappeared on the table, it had become enormous. Although King Yama was right in front of him, Li Xuan had the illusion that they were separated by a different world.

Qi Haizhi did not leave immediately, but instead said, "Your Majesty, King of the Wheels, I encountered a fellow Daoist in the mortal realm who claimed to be a judge of Fengdu and wished to sentence me and my disciple. I hope Your Majesty will verify the authenticity of his identity..."

King Yama is very approachable; he will generally respond to any reasonable request.

As Qi Haizhi spoke, the eyelids of the Wheel King, which was over ten meters tall, slowly opened. His pupils moved, and his gaze fell on Li Xuan, who was vaguely enveloped in golden light...

Li Xuan didn't speak, and directly activated the Dongyue Method and the Fengdu Method.

The chakra mark between his eyebrows appeared, shining brightly in the underworld!

The expressionless King of Wheels revealed a hint of surprise, extended his index finger and gently touched it. The Wheel of Retreat mark between Li Xuan's eyebrows detached from his skin and flew to his face, spinning continuously.

after awhile.

He seemed to understand the origin of the Revolving Wheel of Reclusion pattern, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the Revolving Wheel of Reclusion pattern returned to Li Xuan's brow and was re-inlaid.

Qi Haizhi was somewhat bewildered: "Your Majesty?"

King Yama remained silent for a moment. This Li Xuan possessed the legitimate lineage of the Eastern Peak Emperor and the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor, and dared to come here so openly; he must have something to rely on…

The Great Emperor of Dongyue and the Great Emperor of Fengdu are both extraordinary.

Even though he hadn't seen King Yama for many years and Fengdu City was somewhat deserted, even the Ten Kings of Hell couldn't get close to Mount Luofeng...

He slowly began to speak: "The laws of Fengdu are most harsh in the Black Law. If a judge violates them, the crime will be punished more severely. In all cases, the judgment must be fair and just. There should be no excessive or lenient sentences, nor should there be any wrongful sentences. The slightest mistake will result in being sent to Iron Mountain and suffering severe punishment."

These judges of Fengdu first appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but their existence was as fleeting as a flash in the pan. Due to their overly harsh laws, they had long since disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, there are still judges in this world…

Qi Haizhi, that judge, is unlucky.

Back then, even Zhang Daoling had to bow down to the Northern Emperor; without anyone protecting him, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Now that Qi Haizhi's apprentice has been caught by a judge for committing a crime in the mortal realm, it's really hard to say whether it's luck or bad luck. In any case, when faced with such a situation, confessing and accepting punishment is the best option.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hai felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar, his heart sinking into a deep chill. The Wheel King meant that this judge was real! And the kind that had been extinct for a long time.

He immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

What could King Yama say? He felt he had no right to speak to the Emperor of Fengdu. He sighed inwardly and said, "Since you have made a mistake, you should bear the punishment. It is your fault that your disciple was not strictly disciplined. You can accept your punishment in peace. After your punishment is over, you must reflect on your own conduct."

After he finished speaking, he looked away, returning to his usual nonchalant state...

The City God and the Ghost Head were both stunned. The judge of Fengdu was actually a rare species. Even the Wheel King dared not object to his judgment. This result shattered their worldview.

Qi Haizhi licked his dry lips and bowed to Li Xuan: "Since it is the judge's decision, my teachings have been ineffective and I have made a mistake. I am willing to accept the punishment."

As soon as he uttered those words, his judge's robe vanished without a trace, and several iron chains shot out from the void, binding him and dragging him away into the distance.

Ghost Head was also completely bewildered: "Where did this chain come from?"

Li Xuan didn't know what was going on. He hadn't done anything, not even used the Seal of Investigating the Three Realms of Ghosts and Gods, yet iron chains appeared.
He thought to himself, "Could it be that in this underworld, the judge automatically confesses his crimes, and Iron Mountain can arrest people remotely... This is too automated."
