The Demon Race Attacks

Ghost Emperor Bai Qiuran, pulling along the bruised and battered Bai Qiuran, boarded a small boat bound for the other side of the Styx amidst the reverent gazes of the Underworld Emissaries.

As for Bai Qiuran, the information about the Future Ghost Emperor was only known to Xue Ling, who took on this top-secret Subordinates, and his trusted subordinates. Given his deadpan personality, he naturally kept the information under tight control, and no one except those he trusted knew about it.

However, Bai Qiuran's reputation as a major Sinners is still quite well-known in the Ghost Realm. After all, he was the one who caused a great Ghost Realm, leaving the Ten Courts of Yanluo and the Three Venerables of the Ghost Realm helpless.

Ordinary Underworld Emissary, unless they were part of a larger group, wouldn't dare pass by this guy. Underworld Emissaries that this freak had a strange penchant for beating up Underworld Emissary, and they feared being caught by him and used as punching bags.

But now, the invincible Bai Qiuran has been easily subdued by the newly Accession to the Throne Ghost Emperor. It seems that the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld Ghost Realm is indeed more invincible.

Today's scene was naturally a staged performance put on by Bai Qiuran and Xue Ling. By doing this, not only could the Ghost Emperor's prestige be further enhanced, but it could also, to some extent, sever the connection between Bai Qiuran and the Ghost Emperor.

There are many intelligent people in the Ghost Realm, and there are certainly many who have doubts; they just haven't found conclusive evidence yet.

However, in order to target the Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm, Bai Qiuran felt that it was not advisable to reveal his identity too early. Otherwise, given the cunning of those old foxes, he probably wouldn't be able to catch them red-handed.

Today's performance should silence those who doubt his identity for a while.

Leading his bruised and battered phantom, Bai Qiuran brought it to the Judgment of the Ten Courts of Yanluo. Yanluo King and his Ten Courts of Yanluo were waiting there. Upon seeing Bai Qiuran being led by the Ghost Emperor, he was overjoyed and immediately led the Yama King Hell to bow down to the Ghost Emperor Bai Qiuran, saying, "Your Ghost Emperor is truly wise and mighty! You actually managed to capture this child!"

"You can deal with this child as you see fit."

Ghost Emperor Bai Qiuran handed his illusion to Yanluo King, then gave him a thumbs up.

"Judgment should be Judgment according to the proper procedures; there should be no leniency."

"Of course, don't worry, I've been waiting for this day for over two thousand years!"

Yanluo King Yama laughed and accepted the Iron Chains handed to him by the Ghost Emperor.

He tugged at the Iron Chains, looked at the staggering "Bai Qiuran," and sneered, "More than a thousand years ago, you beat me so badly that I couldn't get out of bed for three months. Now, the net of heaven is wide and its meshes are fine, yet nothing escapes it. Come with me! I'm going to interrogate you properly today!"

Is that true?

Bai Qiuran somewhat confused. He couldn't remember whether he had ever beaten Yanluo King, but judging from Yanluo King's expression, he probably had.

So he apologized to Yanluo King in his heart, and then took Xue Ling to the Ghost Emperor Hall.

The spirits that were Soul Guidance from the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou were said to have mostly died mysteriously. Xue Ling selected the Cultivators' Souls from among them, those he knew more about, and arranged for them to wait in the Ghost Emperor Hall.

After Bai Qiuran returned to his Throne, Xue Ling immediately ordered his men to bring up the spirits from all over the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

The ghosts brought up still retained their appearance from their previous lives. They wore Daoist robes with Tai Chi patterns, and the leader was a middle-aged Daoist priest. After being personally brought before the ruler of the Ghost Realm by the Underworld Emissary officials, even though they were Cultivators, they couldn't help but show a hint of tension.

"This is His Ghost Emperor, who rules the entire Underworld Ghost Realm."

Xue Ling coldly reminded him from the side, "Why aren't you paying your respects yet?"

Those Cultivators probably weren't particularly powerful in life, and after being shouted at by Xue Ling, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Ghost Emperor."

"You may rise, no need for formalities."

In front of others, Bai Qiuran tried his best to maintain his aloof and cold image Ghost Emperor.

"A few days ago, I heard from my Underworld Emissary that a large number of unnatural deaths have occurred in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, with a large number of souls flooding into the Ghost Realm and disrupting its Order. I would like to ask you, do you have any leads regarding this large-scale death event in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou?"

"Of course."

The middle-aged Daoist priest at the head of the group bowed and said, "Does Your Majesty know that in our world, there lives a race of beings called [Demon Race]?"

"Of course I know."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"I also know that they launch attacks on the Human Race every so often... What? Has the Demon Race attacked again?"

"That's exactly right."

The middle-aged Daoist priest bowed and said.

"That shouldn't be the case."

Bai Qiuran frowned slightly.

"As far as I know, your Cultivators should have troops stationed there specifically to guard against and defend against the Demon Race. Even if the Demon Race invaded, how could it possibly lead to the deaths of so many Mortals Commoners?"

"Your Majesty is referring to the Righteous Path Alliance's army of Cultivators stationed on the Savage Lands Borderlands, led by the Divine Martial Heavenly Army?"

The middle-aged Daoist priest replied, "That army has been defeated by the Demon Race have also poured into the heart of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, which is why so many Mortals have died."

That easy? Have the Demon Race gotten stronger?

Bai Qiuran puzzled and asked again, "Then, do the Cultivators sects and forces over there still exist? Like that... Righteous Path Alliance you just mentioned?"

"As for the Righteous Path Alliance, I am not aware of it either."

The middle-aged Daoist priest lowered his head and said, "The Demon Race invasion severed the communication between many sects. Although I am the head of a sect, our sect is merely a minor eighth-rank sect. When the Demon Race attacked, we fought alongside the patrons of the kingdom where our sect was located, but we were killed not long after. We do not know the current situation of the Five Great Sects Under Heaven of the Righteous Path Alliance."

"Yeah?"

Bai Qiuran waved her hand.

"I have inquired thoroughly. You may all leave. Ling Venerable, arrange things for them according to the rules. Those who are destined for reincarnation should be reincarnated, those who wish to stay and can stay should stay, and those who are destined to suffer should be sentenced and sent to suffer."

"Yes."

Xue Ling ordered his men to take the spirits away, then asked Bai Qiuran, "Are you going there?"

"You're asking a question you already know the answer to."

Bai Qiuran waved his hand and sighed, "Such a big matter, if I don't go, who will? Besides... there's something fishy about the Demon Race invasion. I've watched the Leaders of the Righteous Path Alliance grow up, and I know their abilities very well. The Demon Race can't easily break in. There must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. I even suspect that someone from the Immortal Realm is involved."

"That's possible."

Xue Ling nodded.

"I'll leave this place to you, and then, um..."

Bai Qiuran's figure flickered, transforming into a phantom of a Ghost Emperor who sat in his seat. Then, with a thought, the phantom of "Bai Qiuran" that was being bound hand and foot and imprisoned in the Ghost Realm prison also disappeared like ripples on water.

A passing jailer, seeing the empty cells, cried out in alarm, "Oh no! That scoundrel has escaped!"
