The first of the Eighteen Levels of Hell was called Tongue-ripping Hell. Those who, while alive, sowed discord, slandered and harmed others, spoke glibly, argued deceptively, or lied to cheat people would be sent to Tongue-ripping Hell after death. Little ghosts would pry open their mouths, clamp their tongues with iron pincers, and forcibly pull them out—not in one swift yank, but by stretching them out and slowly tearing them free. Afterward, they would enter Scissors Hell and Iron Tree Hell.
The three thousand Silver Dragons watched the scene before them and all felt a phantom pain.
Inside the first level of hell, countless people were suspended in the air. They were not hung by ropes, but by pincers clamped onto their tongues. Little ghosts prowled nearby, occasionally lashing their backs with whips.
The entire hell was filled with muffled groans of agony. They wanted to scream, but they could not. Their tongues were all suspended, so they could only moan.
The little ghosts quickly noticed the Silver Dragon Army. A fat man immediately came forward and looked at them. "Who are you people?"
Su Yu paid him no attention and simply waved his hand. "Attack! Since the Netherworld dragged our brothers into a place like this, there is no need for us to be polite!"
"Kill!" Cang Nan shouted, taking the lead.
The fat man, who was the Judge of the first level of the Netherworld, immediately sensed a wave of killing intent sweeping toward him. Terrified, he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, get them! They're here to cause trouble!"
After saying that, the fat man immediately hid behind the little ghosts. The little ghosts charged forward at his command, but these executioner ghosts were only Celestial Beings. In moments, they were slaughtered to the last by the Silver Dragon warriors.
