BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163 - 134 Foolish Idiot_2
He believed what Dong Huang said, that nothing would be done to the Military Judge. Besides, he had already taken a stance, and no matter what, he still had some face in Dong Huang’s presence.
The Yin Wind howled, the phoenix spread its wings, and the supreme You Huang nation’s leader returned to her loyal Ghost Nation. This time, however, she didn’t return to her royal capital but commanded Youyou to descend into a passageway.
“Your Majesty!”
The ghost general, commanding a Ghost Army in charge of guarding this place and seeing the descending phoenix, hurriedly went forward to greet her. It was his first contact with the nation’s leader as he had no right to visit the royal capital.
However, even if he had never seen the country’s leader, seeing the spread-winged phoenix and the being standing atop it, her identity was self-evident. This was well known in the Ghost Nation – there was no clearer symbol than the phoenix.
“How is the rift here?”
Without stepping off Youyou, Dong Huang looked down in a commanding position at the approaching ghost general.
“Since I have led the army to guard this place, no ghost has entered the human To the Ghost Creatures present, the rift that astonishingly existed was extremely rare, connecting to the human world. But in terms of the vastness of the underworld, it was considered numerous.
“Very well, you may withdraw your troops from here and join the Rock Dove Army. Take part in the conquest of the Funeral Swallow Country. guarding here is no longer necessary!”
“Understood, your highness. When will the ghost army replacing us arrive? So we can prepare for the handover!”
The ghost general bowed his head and asked.
The Spectral Soul’s rift to the human world was particularly valuable in other Ghost Nations and is the best way for the underworld to obtain human souls. Every Ghost King wanting to devour human souls would look for a Spectral rift, employing means to obtain souls from the human world.
However, this rift, which ordinary Ghost Kings would rejoice upon obtaining, was regarded as a point to be sealed and guarded in You Huang Ghost Country. This is because the nation’s leader neither eats human souls nor allows her subordinates to do so.
Not only that, the ruler of You Huang would even dispatch her elite Ghost Army to guard the rift, preventing Nether Beasts or Wandering Souls from entering the human world.
Even though many ghost generals could not understand this action, the ruler of You Huang had no intention of explaining nor did she think it necessary. Regarding her orders, her subordinates only needed to choose to follow or obey.
“The one who will take over here, I’ve brought him!”
Dong Huang flicked her finger, a point of golden light fell from her hand and turned into a slightly embarrassed divine general upon touching the ground.
“Feng Qing’an, you can come and see now!”
The will of Feng Qing’an descended upon Dong Huang’s body at that moment. Using her line of sight, he saw the Military Judge whose aura was weakened and looked dispirited.
“So this is the underworld!”
The Military Judge looked up at the dull sky above and glanced at desert-like desolation around him. There was curiosity and surprise in his eyes, but fear was the only thing that was missing, even his divine power was gradually fading away.
He had been forcibly removed from the boundary of Yongning County. He was like a branch broken off a tree. Although it temporarily retained its fresh color, without continuous nutrient supply, withering would only be a matter of time. But he was not afraid of this.
“May I ask your majesty, is this ghost the judge you’ve prepared to execute me, a puny ghost god?”
In the face of certain death, the military judge had lost some of the seriousness and dignity. Instead, he was more candid and calm. Looking at the kneeling ghost general and ghost soldiers, he asked You Huang with a smile.
“You are a hero from the human world, punishment for you is just like scratching an itch over shoes! If it’s only this, it would be too much to underestimate you!”
As she spoke, the ruler of You Huang waved her hand gently, and the rift to the human realm not far away suddenly opened. The Yin Qi from the human world but still hot compared to the underworld, suddenly rushed in, which revived the Military Judge, who was not used to the environment of the underworld.
However, it made the Military Judge very puzzled and confused. What was the meaning of this?
“This is the rift from the underworld to the human world, an eternal rift. I only took control of it not long ago. Before that, it was the important way for the Ghost King who ruled here to plunder souls from the human world!”
The ruler of You Huang simply explained to the ghost god in front of her, and then turned her eyes to the ghost general,
“Now you can withdraw your troops right now. The defense in future will be
tne responsiD111ty or tms gnost goa!”
“This subordinate obeys your command!”
Although the ghost general had many questions and was particularly curious about the spirit next to him, he couldn’t ignore the presence of the Nether Phoenix. Given his status, he didn’t have the right to ask questions. All he could do was obey orders.
He immediately stood up, gathered his subordinates. The mobility of these ghostly beings was beyond the common man’s comprehension. After all, they didn’t need supplies and provisions, nor did they have any requirements for a resting environment.
In just a moment, a fine Ghost Army was assembled and withdrawn from the place, leaving behind only a Yin rift leading to the human world and the slightly chaotic surroundings destroyed from the previous conflict. This was the legacy of the warfront because the Yin rift in this area was under the control of You Huang Ghost Country until recently.
“I am not your subject, nor have I ever followed you!”
The Military Judge stood in the Yin, looking through the rift at the human world. With a frown, he looked up at the Ghost Nation’s ruler on the phoenix, “You have no right to command me!”
“Indeed, you have never sworn allegiance to I, but in my magnanimity, I have decided to entrust this place to you!”
You Huang, from his high vantage, looked down at this little spirit,
“However, you can ignore my appointment, return to the human world through this rift, continue standing on your divine platform, enjoying the offerings from the people.
“However, let me make it clear, I will not assign any Ghost Army again. The ghost creatures and Yin beasts that flow into the human world from here are all your fault. It’s because you resist my command and refuse to take on the responsibility I give you!”
“Shameless!”
The Military Judge immediately understood, like how an honorable man bullies others. This ruler was bullying him in the same way.
“Insolence!”
You Huang’s expression turned cold, a tremendous pressure of a mountain peak descended instantly. The gilded armor on the powerful divine soldier could no longer hold up and shattered instantly.
“I value you, so I did not place any restrictive measures on you. How to choose is now up to you. If you are unwilling, you can leave now.
The human world opposite this Yin rift isn’t Yonning county, which offered you incenses, nor is it Da Jin, but another human world dynasty you’ve never heard of.
With that, the ruler of You Huang Ghost Country didn’t say more. He threw down a white bone sword and the phoenix beneath his feet let out a resounding cry, spreading its wings and flying off. In an instant, it was far away without intending to waste any more words with the spirit.
The original pass where the Ghost Army was stationed was now only left with ruins, without any hustle and bustle. There was only a spirit with dimmed golden light standing still, gazing through the rift into the human world cloaked in the darkness of the night, his expression complex.
He could see a few star lights. That was the human world where he had lived and protected for several decades. With just one step, he could return to the human world again. Just like the ruler said, he could continue being a spirit. No restrictions were imposed on him.
“Truly shameless!”
With a slow turn, Xu Wupan faced the Yin, turning his back to the human world. His complex expression turned resolute.
Though it seemed he was free, with two choices at hand. But for someone like him who never coveted wealth and feared death, there was only one choice from the beginning!
“Do you desire to go to the human world?”
The spirit looked up at the sky filled with Wandering Souls gathering without the deterrence of the Ghost Army. Under his light golden eyes, the aura of raging warfare emerged,
“This path is barred!”
The spirit, whose divine power was already lost, swung the sword in his hand without hesitation, sweeping away the Wandering Souls in the sky! His decision was to guard this place! Until his very last breath!
“Fool!”
A hundred miles away, a magnificent black phoenix reflected the spirit whose aura was progressively weakening, couldn’t help but mutter,
“Facing the Yin and turning his back on the human world, do you really think
You Huang won’t care if you leave?”
