Naigu's Astonishment, Netherworld Purification!

"Not guilty?"

"How could he be not guilty?"

When the verdict was announced, everyone was filled with astonishment.

This was an Emperor of Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. The other Emperors had all committed monstrous sins and been cast into the Eighteen Hells to endure endless torment.

But Emperor Chu—how could he be not guilty?

He was an enemy of the Netherworld!

Yet when everyone carefully recalled Emperor Chu's life, they discovered that he truly did not seem to have committed any grave sins. Though he had likewise experienced countless battles and risen through slaughter, Emperor Chu had indeed never done anything that drew the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men. He was fundamentally different from the other Emperors, who had secretly plundered and massacred on a vast scale.

"Emperor Chu!"

Ninth Yama's voice rang out. There was even a hint of hesitation in his tone, yet it remained steady.

After repeated review by the Ninth Hall, according to the Fengdu Black Code, he truly had no grave sins. As for risking his life in combat during cultivation, that was the norm for cultivators.

Added to that, some of his usual actions had accumulated a little merit.

Those sins had therefore been offset as well.

"You have two choices. The first is to enter Reincarnation as normal and begin a new life. Or, you may choose to live another life in the Netherworld and join the Netherworld!"

When the voice of judgment sounded, Emperor Chu raised his head.

In the final battle, all the Emperors had been priority targets for encirclement and killing. He had been a step too slow and gotten entangled. He had thought that in this Netherworld trial, he would certainly suffer the most terrifying punishment.

In his heart, he had already accepted his fate.
