Chapter 1290: Citywide Lockdown
The judge didn't hesitate, quickly entering the room and scanning the bookshelves repeatedly with his eyes.
After a moment, he bowed respectfully and said, “Reporting to the Southern Ghost Emperor, there are indeed signs of disturbance in these records, but the exact number is unknown, and there is no sign of any loss.”
The Southern Ghost Emperor said seriously, "Find out what records he has seen. Don't miss any."
Find out what he has been looking at and infer his purpose from it.
"Yes!"
The judge inwardly cried out in despair, but dared not resist. He quickly stepped forward and began to search frantically.
First the middle bookshelf, then the left bookshelf, and finally the right bookshelf.
He felt like all the records had been read, but he didn't dare speak up. Being tied up was a humiliating ordeal, and if he couldn't analyze something to redeem himself, his position might be in jeopardy.
There was not a single bird chirping outside the door.
The King of Hell stood trembling, the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong. He had just been in the residence of the Emperor of the Underworld researching anomalies when such a creature appeared in the underworld itself. Could there be a connection between the two
If there is truly a connection, it would be a momentous event in the history of Fengdu since time immemorial!
The crowd behind him didn't dare to speak, all kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.
Time flies.
The judge's hands were already holding a thick pile of records, just short of the last row of bookshelves. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the bookshelf in the furthest corner, where... it was completely empty.
Oh my.
He screamed in fright, his whole body going limp and collapsing to the ground. His papers were scattered everywhere, and his face was etched with undisguised terror.
"What's the matter"
The Southern Ghost Emperor quickly asked.
Betrayal tried to stand up, but found that he had no strength at all. He trembled and raised his finger towards the corner: "Regarding what the Ghost Emperor said, it's lost, as expected. There is a record of it being lost, it was originally there, it should have been taken by him."
Whoosh!
The Southern Ghost Emperor was slightly excited. It was better to have lost him, so he didn't have to waste time speculating anymore. He could follow the records and find that person.
He asked, “Who recorded that”
The judge gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "There are two records."
One is the first generation Demon Lord, Ye Wuji.
The other one is the second generation demon lord, Jiang Caini.
"What"
The Southern Ghost Emperor let out a roar, and even he couldn't maintain his composure. The thief had stolen the records of anyone else, but they chose to steal those of two people. You have to know, these two were absolute taboos in Fengdu, something rarely even spoken about by himself.
What was the thief's purpose in stealing their records
Even people outside the door could hear his name.
King Yama was so scared that he nearly fell over.
Others were so scared they fell to the ground.
What are these two people recording for Even the slightest ripples in their lives are tidal waves to Fengdu.
The Southern Ghost Emperor calmed his emotions and, after a moment of contemplation, realized this matter was beyond his authority. He slowly raised his finger upward, and a gust of energy shot out.
Very soon.
A dozen or so figures appeared in the backyard.
The remaining nine Halls of Hell, the four Ghost Emperors, and even the Emperor of Fengdu.
For a moment, the oppressive feeling in the small courtyard reached its peak. The ox-head and horse-face demons, along with everyone else, were almost crushed into oblivion.
The Southern Ghost Emperor quickly explained the situation.
"What"
"What"
The remaining four emperors' expressions were identical to the Southern Ghost Emperor's just now, all stunned. They had thought it was just someone causing trouble and unrest within the city, but they never imagined that such a person would appear.
The remaining nine Nether Lords were dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered when Ye Wuji first arrived, he punched the Five Emperors and kicked the Great Emperor, truly an invincible existence!
Then that person...
They both turned their heads to look at the Emperor of Fengdu, their eyes speaking volumes. They felt that the strange phenomenon in Fengdu might have something to do with this man.
The Emperor of Fengdu sighed inwardly, only then realizing this was the last time he would "betray" Ye Fusheng. Who knew he wasn't caught
Pressure is coming to me again!
If you don't investigate, it doesn't make logical sense.
If it came to an investigation, he wouldn't be able to leave this City of the Underworld. It would be like a death sentence.
The City God of Fengdu raised his hand and waved, setting up a formation around them, enclosing only a few people within.
“Do you think the visions are related to him”
The Ghost Emperor at the center spoke first: "It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it. If this thief hadn't appeared, then the omens must have been caused by mundane thoughts colliding. But now that the thief has appeared, we can't help but think more deeply about it."
The Northern Ghost Emperor said solemnly: 'This thief's appearance is full of strangeness, we have to take it seriously. Especially just now, the Soul-Tearing Whip had no effect on him, which is even more strange.'
All the Soul-Binding Whips in Fengdu are magic artifacts that inflict special damage on souls. Yet, he is completely immune to them. This indicates that his soul has become incredibly powerful. If left unchecked, he will undoubtedly cause great harm.
The Eastern Ghost Emperor said in a deep voice: "There's one more crucial point, this thief is incredibly bold. They even tried to seduce the King of Hell, attempting to control him. If we don't eliminate them immediately, the consequences will be unimaginable."
That's the most frightening part. He has already started targeting the management of Fengdu, even though he didn't hurt Black and White Impermanence before, who can guarantee that he brought Yama here to attack
The Emperor Fengdu nodded slightly, his expression profound: "As for this person's identity, what are your speculations..."
The Southern Ghost Emperor spoke first: "It shouldn't be an ordinary mortal who practices yin-yang sorcery. Firstly, a sorcerer wouldn't have the ability to resist the Black and White Impermanence. Secondly, based on their description, it should be purely a soul."
The Western Ghost Emperor said solemnly: “It shouldn't be a demon either. The methods of demons, Hei and Bai Wu Chang know, Niu Tou Ma Mian should also be clear, but they didn't notice anything unusual.”
The Ghost Emperor shook his head: "It's even less likely to be an Immortal from the Upper Realm. According to the description, that thief had no magical artifacts and no immortal aura. I also believe he was purely a soul body."
The actual intention of the Ghost Emperor Fengdu was to let them deduce his specific identity. For example, who would use Jia Si Dao as a facade If they had any possibility of saying Ye Fusheng's name, he could take the opportunity to oppose it, which would also be a foreshadowing in advance, so that later on when he was caught, he wouldn't be exposed.
To their surprise, they got it all wrong.
While it’s important to guide, don't overdo it. Be too pushy and it will backfire.
And then he asked, "So, you intend to search the entire city"
"Yes!"
The Five Ghost Emperors replied in unison.
The Lord of Fengdu commanded solemnly, "Very well, search the entire city!"
This was their idea; I just agreed. It's not like I betrayed Ye Fusheng.
Following the decision, the entire city of Fengdu plunged into a state of search. The intensity was unparalleled to anything Captain Gu had orchestrated before.
All the guards changed into civilian clothes and took to the streets.
All the specters roamed the city.
Everyone's formation was activated, and someone guarded the connection point of the domain.
The simplest analogy is like an airtight net, already laid out in the city of Fengdu.
……
Meanwhile.
Ye Fu Sheng was weaving through the crowd, appearing just like any ordinary person. He gazed towards the distant city wall, noticing the increasing number of guards, a sense of heaviness settling in his heart.
In fact.
He did not leave the Judgment Hall in advance.
After summoning the King of Hell with a jade talisman, I waited outside the courtyard. I carefully steered the boat across ten thousand years, only leaving when the Southern Ghost Emperor arrived...old imperial robe, embroidered with auspicious clouds and five-clawed golden dragons. He wears a crown of jeweled diadems and exudes an aura of majesty without anger, his presence overwhelming.Seeing...
