“Origin Treasure Plate? So where exactly is this thing?”
The old man smiled again and said, “Hehe, since the two of you are going after this thing, you’re fated with me.”
“Alright, whatever you want us to do, just say it.”
“If I want to release my friend’s soul, I have to go to the Underworld prison that is endlessly huge. I don’t know where my old friend is hiding.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiming interrupted, “I understand. So you want us to help you find him?”
“That’s right. However, I don’t know much about the situation there either. There are ten halls in the Underworld prison. According to my deductions, my old friend should be detained in the fourth hall of the Underworld prison that is under the control of King Wuguan, Lu, who is also known as Guan
Mingwang.”
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Yiming and Dong Mi nodded.
“There are some small ghosts in there, but they are not to be feared. I will trap the master of the fourth hall, Guan Mingwang, into an array, and you guys go in and look for the name list of the prisoners in the Blood Pool Prison. Then, find the person named ‘Ao Qf’ on the list and find his cell, then release
him.”
It didn’t sound very difficult.
After all, the most crucial step of the mission that was to defeat Guan Mingwang had been left to Old Hai himself.
“Hahaha, and the Origin Treasure Plate that you want is in the hands of Guan Mingwang, which means it’s also in the fourth hall!”
“Good! Let’s not waste any more time here.”
“Yes! Old Hai, rather than discussing countermeasures here, why not we just go in and investigate!” When Dong Mi said this, he was a little excited and he hurriedly controlled his volume.
Old Hai nodded, “I have already prepared a foolproof plan. I have three pills, and it’s just nice for me to gift two of them to the two of you. This is Heaven’s will! Heaven’s will!”
The three of them took the pills, and they immediately felt as if they were floating.
Then, they stuck the talisman that Old Hai had given them onto their bodies, and in an instant, their bodies rippled with an aura that they had never felt before.
“With this pill of mine, we can deceive the Underworld officials. Together with the aura of the talisman, we can deceive the soul officials. They will assume that your body has been shattered and your bones and flesh have been reassembled. As such, they will not make things difficult for any of us,” Old Hai
gave his solemn promise.
He led Jiang Yiming and his disciple into the crowd.
Although Jiang Yiming didn’t feel anything wrong after taking the pill that Old Hai had given him, he was still a little worried.
After all, Old Hai had said previously that he had learned that Dong Mi was coming through divination.
However, Old Hai did not seem to have learned from divination that he would be here as well?
Yet, when Old Hai had taken out the pills, it had been exactly three.
Until now, Jiang Yiming couldn’t completely rule out the possibility that he and Dong Mi were just Old Hai’s chess pieces.
Could it be that the pills Old Hai gave to them just now were the “life-trading money” that the poem had said?
Jiang Yiming and Dong Mi were next to each other as they followed behind Old Hai into the Hall of the Dead, stepping into the darkness that couldn’t be penetrated with eyes at all.
As soon as they stepped into the darkness, a terrifying scene of purgatory greeted them!
The hall looked as calm as water from the outside, but once one crossed the threshold and came to the inside of the hall, one would find that the inside of the hall was even larger than it looked from the outside!
There were statues so tall that their heads couldn’t be seen clearly.
On the dome and on the walls on both sides of the hall were terrifying and ferocious reliefs and murals of tigers, leopards, lions, insects, snakes, ghosts, wolves, and jackals.
All of them were lifelike.
If one stared into the eyes of the animals carefully, one would feel that these animals would jump out of the reliefs and murals soon and tear one apart!
“Hehe, although the two of you are quite outstanding among your peers in terms of cultivation, if you look at those things for a long time, it will be difficult for you to bear it too.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming and Dongmi quickly withdrew their gazes.
They didn’t dare to take another look.
They couldn’t see the end of the long line in front of them either.
The only thing they could see was that there was a huge judge in the distance who was sitting in the center of the hall.
He should be the one who decided where the souls would go.
‘Though it was worth noting that the items in the judge’s hands were all treasures without exception!
If he could.
Jiang Yiming shook his head and threw such thoughts to the back of his mind.
‘The judge Yama, who gave out sentences in the main hall was already of such a figure, so the Guan Mingwang whom Old Hai had mentioned that he was going to face alone shouldn’t be any smaller, right?
In the main hall, the crowd slowly moved forward.
Only then did the three of them realize that after the people in front crossed a seal in front, their physical bodies would be completely peeled off and they would be pushed to the side.
At the same time, there were small ghosts that were constantly devouring the bodies that had been abandoned.
Seeing this, even Old Hai was a little afraid.
“Even though I’ve studied the Underworld for quite some time, seeing it with my own eyes is indeed very different!”
After he exclaimed, the three of them had also crossed the seal.
Above their heads, a mass of small ghosts floated.
They kept stabbing the forks in their hands into the bodies of the people under them, which would allow them to disassemble the flesh and bones, leaving the people with only their souls that would look the same as before.
When the forks stabbed into the three people’s bodies, the talisman on them instantly shattered.
“Oh? I wonder what kind of torture these three people suffered. To think they had all been smashed to pieces?
Sure enough, Old Hai’s talisman had taken effect.
The small ghost that had stabbed them didn’t notice anything amiss.
It could only sense that they were people who had been smashed to pieces, so it let them go.
They continued to move forward.
As they got closer and closer to the judge sitting in the hall, the three felt an increasingly powerful pressure.
In the Underworld, the three didn’t feel tired or exhausted.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally stood before Yama.
At this point, Jiang Yiming finally realized the terror of Yama who was right in front of him.
‘The Chaos Buddha that he could transform into was probably just an existence that could be flattened by a slap before Yama.
“Jiang Yiming! Dong Mi! Hai Suifeng! The three of you have violated the rules of the Blood Pool Prison and can not enter reincarnation for the time being! Enter the Blood Pool Prison first!” The judge’s voice was like a loud bell.
It turned out that only those who were traveling together could hear his sentence.
The judge’s pen waved in the air, and in an instant, turned into a letter of judgment that was carved on the backs of the three!
Their bodies were also instantly shackled with heavy shackles.
A small ghost led the way, dragging the three who had been chained together into the darkness on the other side.
There were also some others who were sent into the Blood Pool Prison.
Jiang Yiming and the others were led forward by the small ghost, and they fell into the darkness once again.
‘Where exactly were they now?
Jiang Yiming and Dong Mi did not dare to think about such a question anymore.
However, the method to save Dong Mi and his family was ahead!
The three walked through the darlmess and the minute they left the darkness, they instantly felt as though their bodies were about to boil!
If the smell that Jiang Yiming had smelled in Old Ling’s secret realm was to be compared to the stench that filled the air here, it was not even worth mentioning!
