The Ghost Emperor's True Identity
The Ten Courts of Yanluo appeared to be making final preparations before the Judgment. They stretched their backs and legs and chatted with each other, knowing they would be sitting in their seats for quite some time.
The combined number of all the factions of the Four Emperors in the Four Directions Immortal Realm is by no means small.
Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan walked over, and upon seeing them, the group of Ten Courts of Yanluo, who were engaged in lively conversation, hurriedly greeted them.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Consort."
Now, Bai Qiuran, as the Ghost Emperor, enjoys extremely high prestige in the Underworld Ghost Realm. And because of her previous actions, Jiang Lan, the Imperial Consort, has also gained considerable reputation. Therefore, the Ten Courts of Yanluo are now completely convinced of her authority.
No need for formalities.
Bai Qiuran raised her hand and said, "Are you all preparing for the Judgment of the fugitive from the Immortal Realm?"
The Ten Courts of Yanluo nodded.
"That's perfect. The Souls of the four emperors are with me. As for the Black Emperor's Souls, I've already had Yanluo King, interrogate her urgently. She's currently roaming the Boiling Excrement Hell."
Bai Qiuran said, "Since we're going to try Immortals from the Immortal Realm, let's try the ringleaders first, lest things get complicated. I and Lan'er will personally supervise the Judgment of the three emperors."
The Ten Courts of Yanluo had long desired to Judgment the Four Immortal Emperors and bring glory to the Underworld Ghost Realm, so they naturally agreed upon hearing this.
With some time to spare before the official trial, Bai Qiuran chatted with them casually, saying, "By the way, I saw you two talking just now, what were you talking about?"
"Nothing."
King Qinguang, one of the Ten Yama King, laughed at him, "We were just talking about the changes His Majesty has recently brought to the Ghost Realm. This time, it's truly thanks to His Majesty's wisdom that we've been able to properly interrogate those four guys, the Four Immortal Emperors. They've always been bullying us in the Ghost Realm, but now the tables have turned, and it's finally our turn to deal with them."
"Yes, even Yanluo King, told us that."
The Five Officials King said very honestly, "Your Majesty will one day bring all the Sinners on the wanted list back to the Ghost Realm for us to Judgment, especially Bai Qiuran, who has been on the run for over three thousand years and has repeatedly assaulted Underworld Emissary, including Ling Venerable. His crimes are extremely heinous."
"Pfft."
Upon hearing what the Five Officials King said, Jiang Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
Why are the Imperial Consort laughing?
Yanluo King was greatly puzzled by this.
Bai Qiuran scratched his head. He had concealed his identity in order to deal with the Four Immortal Emperors, but now that they had been killed, he seemed to have no need to hide it anymore.
So he said to the Ten Courts of Yanluo, "Uh... actually, it's like this, look here."
After saying that, he took off the mask from his head, revealing his true face.
The Ten Courts of Yanluo looked at it and gasped. Yanluo King even clutched his chest and fell backward onto the floor.
"Quick."
He gripped his colleague King Chujiang's arm with some pain.
"I can't breathe."
King Chujiang's arm was also trembling slightly. He replied, "Don't worry, we are Ghost Immortal; we won't die even if we stop breathing."
Is Yama, the Yanluo King, alright?
Bai Qiuran reached out with some concern, wanting to help Yanluo King, but Yanluo King, who had been lying on the ground, jumped up like a rabbit and retreated to a corner of the Yanluo Hall on all fours.
Left with no other choice, Bai Qiuran had to put the mask back on.
Seeing Bai Qiuran put her mask back on, the Ten Courts of Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief and regained their composure.
But upon calming down and thinking about it, why did Bai Qiuran choose this time to tell them this secret?
The four emperors are dead; is it a case of "the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked" (meaning they are cooked after the rabbit is caught)?
In that instant, a long scene of "the good bow being put away after the birds are all gone" flashed through the minds of the Ten Courts of Yanluo.
"Because there's no need to hide it anymore."
Bai Qiuran seemed to see through their thoughts and said to them, "Don't worry, this position originally belonged to me. Even this Ghost Realm was originally created by me."
Your Majesty, you've only been alive for a little over three thousand years, how could you possibly have created the Ghost Realm?
The Ten Courts of Yanluo had doubts, but none of them dared to ask Bai Qiuran the question.
Fellow practitioners.
Yanluo King pulled the Ten Courts of Yanluo to a corner and said to them, "Let's pretend that what happened today never happened."
"Absolutely, absolutely."
The other Ten Courts of Yanluo nodded and said, "Yanluo King's move is wise."
This minor incident did not affect the efficiency of the Ten Courts of Yanluo. The Judgment in the Hall of the Yanluo Hall began quickly. Xue Ling and Venerable Lie arranged for the Underworld Emissaries officials to orderly Soul Guidance the Souls of the immortals who had fallen from the Immortal Realm and those from the Book of Immortals to the Yanluo Main Hall. Bai Qiuran also released the Souls of the other three of the Four Emperors to Judgment.
Under the joint supervision of Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, the Judgment of the three emperors proceeded smoothly. Although the Crimson Emperor, White Emperor, and Azure Emperor each tried to escape the Ghost Realm, they were unable to cause any trouble in front of Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan.
In the end, the three brothers were cast down to the Eighteen Levels of Hell hand in hand. Given the sins they had committed, they would probably stay there until the end of the world.
However, there is good news: in about ten thousand years, the Northern Black Emperor, who carries a strong odor, will also descend to join them. Three men and one woman will at least provide some solace.
After dealing with matters here, Bai Qiuran left her illusory image in the Ghost Emperor Hall, and then returned to the world of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou with Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei.
After all, he was still a Cultivators in the Virtual Foundation Stage. Although he had gone to the Immortal Realm and broadened his horizons, the path of Cultivation still required him to be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time.
Jiang Lan also returned with him; she wanted to go back to the Fusang Immortal Palace to check on the situation.
After returning to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, the group first went to check on the situation at various sects. The Azure Nether Sword Sect and the Hehuan Sect were both fine.
Under Su Xiangxue's leadership, the Hehuan Sect and the Immortal City Jade Tower have joined forces to rebuild Yunzhou. Currently, this most prosperous region in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou is gradually moving towards revival.
However, when they took Li Jinyao back to the Heavenly Demon Sect to report that they were safe, a small accident occurred.
When the group landed at the Heavenly Demon Sect Headquarters, they suddenly saw a stone statue erected in Mountain Gate. The statue's prototype was none other than Li Jinyao.
Upon closer inspection, two lines of text were found written on the pedestal beneath the stone statue.
On the left is "Ascension of the Demon Sect, Deceiving Master and Ancestors," and on the right is "Jinyao's Life, No One Was Inferior."
"Looks like it's a souvenir they left for you."
Bai Qiuran suppressed a laugh and said to Li Jinyao.
As the first Li Jinyao to Ascension in the Demonic Path, it's not surprising that the Heavenly Demon Sect erected a stone statue in her memory.
The key is that Huangfu Feng and Ji Lingyun probably thought that Li Jinyao would have a hard time returning to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou after Ascension to the Immortal Realm, so they made a fuss about this stone statue to vent their resentment at being bullied by Li Jinyao.
But now that the matter in the Immortal Realm has been resolved smoothly, and Li Jinyao Bai Qiuran, there's nothing more to say.
Miss Li's talent is no less than Bai Li's. During her time in the Central Immortal Realm, she has successfully Stabilization her cultivation and advanced to the peak of the Immortals Realm. Seeing her flushed face and her ashamed and indignant appearance, Bai Qiuran and the others knew that Ji Lingyun and Huangfu Feng were about to suffer a severe blow.
Sure enough, after stomping her foot, Li Jinyao gave everyone a radiant smile.
"Excuse me, senior, Ruowei, Sister Lan."
She drew the Dragon Fang Twin Sabers from her waist.
"Please hold on for a moment, I have some things I'd like to discuss with my master and the others."
