720: Above Life and Death

Looking at the young girl with slightly heroic features among countless Souls, Qin Yang was stunned on the spot.

If his Red-grade Sound Transmission Talisman wasn't ineffective here, he would have truly wanted to ask—

Mom, when did you die?

But... that's not right!

Unless it was a Celestial God from the Heavenly Court acting, people from the myriad worlds do not come to the Underworld after death.

So... was Shenzhou attacked by Celestial Gods again?

Qin Yang felt that was unlikely.

He was already the Human Emperor.

Even if Celestial Gods attacked Shenzhou again, it wouldn't change anything; it would only make things worse.

However, Qin Yang was still uneasy.

He immediately summoned the kunlun mirror, attempting to contact Shenzhou.

Fortunately, the kunlun mirror possessed great Divine Ability.

Even though he was in Hell, the mirror still displayed the scene of the Supreme Imperial City.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoer was curled up on the Phoenix couch, sobbing as she looked at Qin Chuan's photo.

“A Sword Immortal of her generation, yet she's a love-struck fool.”

Qin Yang smiled, feeling a pang of heartache but also a sense of relief.

What could be confirmed now was that Lin Xiaoer was fine, and Shenzhou was fine.

Then, who was this young girl who looked seven parts like her and five parts like him?

Qin Yang instantly moved forward, appearing beside the young girl.

The young girl merely looked up at him once, then lowered her eyes again, continuing to wander aimlessly.

She kept muttering: “Where am I? Who am I? I can't remember... I can't remember anything... But someone is waiting for me, but who is he... I can't remember...”

Qin Yang carefully observed the young girl for a while, then took a deep breath, thinking to himself: “This... couldn't be...”

Just then, a voice rang out.

“The Lord of Fengdu, accompanied by the Ten Kings of Hell, respectfully welcomes the Human Emperor.”

Qin Yang was startled and looked sideways.

He saw eleven figures appear on the thick clouds above the countless dead Souls.

Among them, one figure was so vast it seemed to blot out the sky, and Qin Yang could only see a corner of his robe.

As soon as these people appeared, the countless dead Souls were like a school of sardines sensing a giant whale approaching; they immediately cried and wailed, scattering in all directions, and the young girl who resembled Lin Xiaoer and himself also disappeared in the chaos.

Seeing this, Qin Yang immediately roared: “Presumptuous!”

“Huh?”

The Emperor of Fengdu was stunned, thinking to himself that he had been quite polite.

Why was this Human Emperor getting angry as soon as he arrived?

As he was thinking, he saw Qin Yang's figure rapidly expand, instantly becoming so vast it blotted out the sky, even more imposing than the Emperor of Fengdu.

The Ten Kings of Hell all swallowed in unison.

At the same time, they sighed, truly worthy of being the strongest Heaven-Defying Human Emperor.

Damn, with this Dharma Aspect activated, Hell itself would be pierced through by him.

The Emperor of Fengdu was also bewildered for a moment and asked: “Human Emperor, why are you angry?”

Qin Yang lowered his head, staring intently at the Emperor of Fengdu, and said: “You disturbed my grandmother.”

“Huh?”

The Emperor of Fengdu was stunned, looking at the scattering dead Souls below, and then at King Qinguang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell.

“Is the Human Emperor's grandmother here?”

“I don't know...”

King Qinguang shook his head and said: “The seventeenth level of Hell detains those who are selfish and self-serving.”

At this point, King Qinguang explained to Qin Yang: “Human Emperor, I'm not saying your grandmother is selfish and self-serving, but this place also detains dead Souls whose origins cannot be traced, such as the hundreds of millions of alien dead Souls that arrived some time ago; they are all here.”

Hearing King Qinguang's words, Qin Yang's anger subsided a little, and he also looked at the dead Souls below.

According to King Qinguang, including Qin Chuan, the hundreds of millions of people who died in the boundless True Fire were all among these dead Souls.

“True Dragon Qi Observation.”

Qin Yang activated his Divine Ability, scanning the dead Souls scurrying like sardines.

Soon, he found a person among them who was familiar beyond familiar.

Qin Chuan!

He was jumping up and down with wisps of dead Souls, his expression one of extreme fright, where was his former tough-guy demeanor?

Seeing this, Qin Yang's face darkened again.

Damn, this Emperor of Fengdu, it's fine to make an entrance, but why release such oppressive power? He scared the old man into a grandson.

Seeing Qin Yang's expression freeze, the Emperor of Fengdu immediately realized something and said to King Qinguang: “There are guests among these dead Souls; make them settle down.”

“Yes.”

King Qinguang nodded, waved his large sleeve, and a series of enchanting sounds emanated.

Hearing this sound, the dead Souls immediately stopped fleeing and, just like before, began to drift aimlessly, as if ignorant and unaware.

Seeing that the Ten Kings of Hell were quite cooperative, Qin Yang's tone softened considerably, and he said: “I want to take these people with me; you have no objections, right?”

“Of course not; those Souls themselves do not belong to this world.”

The Emperor of Fengdu nodded, then gently waved his hand, and the countless ghostly green Souls separated into blue and green colors.

“The ghostly green ones are local evil Souls.”

“The ghostly blue ones are wandering Souls from other worlds.”

“Human Emperor, please help yourself.”

After separating the Souls, the Emperor of Fengdu said to Qin Yang.

He wanted to see what means the Human Emperor would use to take these Souls away.

After all, these were hundreds of millions of Souls.

However, Qin Yang's eyes were slightly narrowed at this moment, searching for the young girl from before.

He thought that if she was a ghostly green evil Soul, he would still have to take her back.

After all, she looked too much like Lin Xiaoer, Lin Xuan, or himself.

Even if she wasn't his grandmother, she was someone with a fated connection.

Under True Dragon Qi Observation, Qin Yang quickly found that person.

“It's ghostly blue!”

Seeing that the young girl's Soul was ghostly blue, Qin Yang was overjoyed and immediately summoned the human emperor banner into his hand.

“Citizens of Shenzhou, enter the banner!”

With a clear and resounding proclamation.

Those wisps of ghostly blue Souls were immediately drawn, turning into a surging torrent, rushing towards the human emperor banner.

Seeing this scene, King Qinguang immediately said: “It's this thing!”

“What thing?”

The Emperor of Fengdu asked in confusion.

“Do you remember Zhang Lingxiao, who signed a contract with Hell?”

King Qinguang asked.

“I remember.”

The Emperor of Fengdu nodded.

“This person activated a contract once before, and I was supposed to take his Soul, but his Soul was pulled by a force, causing it not to be collected, and you even reprimanded me for it,” King Qinguang recalled.

Hearing this, the Emperor of Fengdu also remembered, and he said: “I recall now, that person broke the rules.”

King Qinguang nodded and said: “Yes, I also found it strange at the time, what kind of Divine Ability could break the rules of Hell?”

As King Qinguang spoke, he kept winking, as if hinting at something.

The Emperor of Fengdu was puzzled for a while, then a sudden look of realization flashed in his eyes.

“You mean, it was this Magical Artifact that snatched Zhang Lingxiao's Soul at that time?”

King Qinguang said: “I'm afraid so.”

The Emperor of Fengdu was stunned, muttering: “That Zhang Lingxiao is the Human Emperor's person!”

King Qinguang nodded: “Zhang Lingxiao said so when he arrived, but you dismissed it as nonsense.”

The Emperor of Fengdu fell silent.

After a moment, King Qinguang tentatively asked: “If the Human Emperor wants to take him away, that would be the second time the contract is broken; should we let him go?”

The ghostly blue Souls, like the water of the Heavenly River, poured into the human emperor banner.

Such Divine Ability had already surpassed the Emperor of Fengdu's comprehension.

This thing could actually disregard Law and retrieve people from Hell!

He took a deep breath and said to King Qinguang: “Anyone else can go, but only Zhang Lingxiao, I don't want to let go...”
