YAMA RISING

Chapter 126: Hell Rises Again

He knew full well that no matter what image he had in the mortal realm, he could only afford to proliferate one image here.

Strictly impartial and incorruptible.

It was the end of all sin, and the beginning of new life.

As the ruler of one of the three realms of the world, Qin Ye knew that he couldn’t afford to give others an impression of capriciousness. He was the god of this realm, and gods didn’t need emotions.

It wasn’t clear whether this was from fear, or anxiety, or simply because he was lost in reverie.

“S-s-s-s-s-s-sir…” His voice quaked uncontrollably, while his legs grew weak and numb, “I-I-I-I-I…”

As soon as he heard this, the college student’s legs immediately crumbled to the ground, and his eyes rolled back. If ghosts could faint, he would most certainly have done so already.

He remained completely conscious.

“S-s-s-sir…” It took him several deep breaths before he was finally able to gather himself and stand on his own. With gritted teeth, he exclaimed, “You can’t go there!”

Qin Ye followed the direction of the student’s finger, and he immediately squinted his eyes.

Their leader was a tall burly man who was covered from top to toe in bulging muscles. He had a menacing look on his face, and he was dressed in prison uniforms. There were four others standing around him who were dressed in the same manner as well. All of them were bald. One could easily tell with a single glance that they meant no goodwill at all. Moreover, there was a gathering of approximately one hundred others standing just around them. Some appeared like rebellious teenagers, some appeared to be unemployed vagrants, while others were simply expressionless, able-bodied young men.

“Coming to Hell dressed in prison garbs… Is he a death row prisoner?” Qin Ye chuckled contemptuously as he muttered.

A chilling gaze flickered across the depths of Qin Ye’s eyes. The fact that these men had been sentenced to death didn’t mean much in and of itself. That said, the underlying implication of their presence undoubtedly pointed to the possible arrival of more! In other words, the absence of the six paths of reincarnation and Eighteen Abysses of Punishment was a massive variable and potential source of strife!

“Tell me more.” Qin Ye probed further.

“I’ve heard that… their methods are incredibly ruthless. Breaking an arm and a leg was all in a day’s work. You can even say that they’re like a scourge that had spread from the surrounding villages into the heart of the city center. My classmates from high school have all heard of the Gao Gang. Back then, we would always claim that we know a certain so-and-so from the Gao Gang, almost as though it were an awesome thing. Almost like Crows Zero. In hindsight, we were truly foolish and immature.”

He glanced at the college student, “Work hard. And let me know if you wish to follow her.”

“My lord… can I follow you instead?”

“About that…” The college student added somewhat sheepishly, “I’m already dead…”

But do we really know each other that well?

Qin Ye: “?!!”

Su Dongxue’s smile instantly froze. Seconds later, she muttered coldly, “No more.”

Su Dongxue ground her teeth and turned around, “No… I’m afraid of failing to seduce him…”

He was here today to display his authority.

Those who were leaning on the trees immediately straightened up, while those who were originally seated on the ground stood up. The previously drowsy-looking Yin spirits suddenly perked up their spirits.

“Hold it.” Just as he passed through the outer circle and stepped into the empty space between the gathering of followers and the leaders of the Gao Gang, a skinny man who was flipping a shiv in his hands glanced at Qin Ye and remarked, “Brother, where do you think you’re going?”

“This official has arrived a little late.” Qin Ye casually held his hands behind his back and surveyed his surroundings, “I would never have expected so many ghosts to arrive in just a single week, especially given how the entrance to this place is completely hidden from the eyes of mere mortals.”

The big burly man right at the front of Hell’s Gate immediately stood up when he heard the commotion. But as soon as he noticed that Qin Ye was alone, and he looked to be only in his late teens, his expressions immediately turned from intense shock to complete calmness.

Qin Ye smiled faintly and nodded.

Qin Ye still had the same faint smile on his face when he ignored the burly man and turned around. Then, his smile faded away as he swept his gaze at the people around him. Following that, his voice boomed authoritatively.

Buzz!!

"T-this is…" An old man holding a walking stick stared at Qin Ye's figure with his mouth agape. His entire body trembled profusely, "Have the enforcers of Hell arrived?"

"They're here… they're finally here!" "Is that him? But he looks no different from the students in the mortal realm…" "T-this is an Emissary of Hell? Will… will there really be the Eighteen Abysses of Punishment here?"

This was a massive place after all. How could he possibly doubt Qin Ye's authority if he could cause his voice to fill every corner of the massive realm?

It had finally dawned on the Yin spirits that each and every single one of them were dead.

Qin Ye held up a finger, “I am the law of the lands. I’m the one in control of everything here. All you need to do is to act in accordance with my instructions. Don’t worry. Hell will only get better and better, and everyone who participates in the rebuilding of Hell shall be looked upon with favour in your future reincarnation.”

A question was asked, yet everyone was completely silent.

“Hold on.” Just then, Tiger Gao’s voice rang out again. He looked at Qin Ye with a pretentious smile, “Esteemed sir, the Gao Gang has already done a lot for you before your arrival.”

Su Dongxue took a step back discreetly.

“For instance…” Tiger Gao whistled. Instantly, many people stood up from among the crowd of Yin spirits. One hundred, two hundred… in the end approximately three to four hundred people stood up in response to his call!

It was as though an invisible force were bearing down at him from all directions.

“Is this a threat?” Qin Ye asked placidly.

Qin Ye gazed deeply at him. This was a hellish, overbearing approach.

They were forcing Hell to take a stand!
