Chen Nan had always repaid kindness with kindness.
And avenged every wrong.
Today, the people of Buddhism had suddenly attacked.
They wanted to kill him.
He could not swallow this affront.
Nor should he.
After all, he bore the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Heavenly Court.
He was the last hope for countless heavenly gods.
Even if Buddhism was backed by the Tathagata.
He had to grow stronger step by step.
Then march west to seek justice from the Tathagata for those who had died unjustly.
The Great Zhao Temple in the Underworld would serve as a small portion of the interest paid.
------
As Di Ting had said.
Chen Nan had directly ascended to the peak of the Ghost King realm.
And fully mastered the power of space, fire, water, and wood elemental laws.
With his current strength.
He was undoubtedly at the apex of the Underworld.
To put it bluntly.
Even the Ten Palace Yama Kings.
He did not take them seriously anymore.
After all, even the Ten Palace Yama Kings were merely level nine Ghost Kings.
He now possessed the strength of a level nine Ghost King.
Moreover, he commanded four types of elemental laws.
The only one who could defeat him was the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
And Empress Houtu, these two supreme beings who ruled the Underworld.
If the Great Emperor of Fengdu did not use the Book of Life and Death.
He even felt he could spar with him.
As for Empress Houtu…
He dared not even imagine.
After all, Empress Houtu was a formidable existence in the divine hierarchy.
Her status was on par with the Jade Emperor.
Otherwise, why would the saying "Heaven is above, Earth is witness" exist in the mortal world?
The sudden improvement in his cultivation realm.
Left Chen Nan unable to adapt for a long time.
It felt like a dream.
Like a beggar suddenly receiving five million yuan.
It felt unreal.
However.
This was cultivation.
There were no eternal laws in cultivation.
Only countless opportunities and variables.
As long as one could seize them.
Not necessarily to soar to the heavens.
But at least one's strength would greatly improve.
It was evident.
Chen Nan had seized this opportunity for enlightenment.
And the reason he was able to seize this opportunity was ultimately because the Lu sisters had seized him…
Looking at the Lu sisters snuggled together and falling asleep.
Chen Nan's burning heart stirred with a desire.
He longed to be embraced by the coolness…
Only then could the heat in his heart be soothed…
------
The Eighteenth Level of Hell.
This was a place that made people turn pale.
Because those who had committed evil deeds feared coming here after death.
For each level had its corresponding torture.
Each torture made life worse than death.
It was located beneath Fengdu City.
Filled with darkness and cold.
And heart-wrenching screams.
Those sounds never ceased throughout the year.
Black Impermanence arrived at a dark cave and said respectfully, "My Lord, the Lu family has refined the Grand Pure Divine Elixir, and I have retrieved it for you."
A resonant voice echoed, "Enter!"
Black Impermanence entered the cave.
He was greeted by a burly man with thick eyebrows, large eyes,
And a full beard.
He exuded an aura of imposing authority without anger.
He was the Yama King, who struck fear into the hearts of all in the mortal world.
He was ranked fifth among the Ten Palace Yama Kings.
"I never imagined the Lu family could actually refine the Grand Pure Divine Elixir."
"I underestimated them."
The Yama King was also surprised that the Lu family could refine the Grand Pure Divine Elixir.
This was an unexpected bonus.
Black Impermanence quickly handed the Grand Pure Divine Elixir to the Yama King.
The Yama King took it, looked at it in his palm for a moment,
Then swallowed it directly.
"The Lu family has made a contribution in refining the elixir, reward them with some treasures appropriately!" he said, slowly closing his eyes to recover from his spiritual injuries.
But at that moment.
The Yama King's expression changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Black Impermanence cried out in alarm, "My Lord, what is wrong?"
The Yama King said with a grim face, "The Grand Pure Divine Elixir is poisoned!"
"The Lu family intends to murder me!"
Boom!
Black Impermanence's scalp tingled.
A thick layer of goosebumps rose all over his body.
To plot against one of the Ten Palace Yama Kings?
Had the Lu family grown tired of living?
"Go!"
"Take people to the Lu family!"
"Annihilate the Lu family!"
Cold killing intent blazed in the Yama King's eyes.
He was fortunate to be a level nine Ghost King.
Otherwise.
That elixir would have taken his life.
However.
Although the elixir did not kill him.
It had destroyed his cultivation of a thousand years.
Black Impermanence quickly said, "My Lord, might there be some misunderstanding here?"
"I don't believe the Lu family has such audacity to poison the elixir."
The Yama King snorted, "If not the Lu family, then who else?"
Black Impermanence's pupils trembled, "Your subordinate would not dare!"
Black Impermanence felt a pang of panic.
After all, the elixir had passed through his hands before reaching the Yama King.
The Yama King said, "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, it is no longer important!"
"What is important is that the elixir has destroyed my thousand years of cultivation."
"Without destroying the Lu family, I cannot quell my hatred."
Black Impermanence said nervously, "The Lu family's matriarch is the Emperor's sister!"
Annihilating a family in the mortal world was nothing to him.
However.
The Lu family's matriarch was, after all, the Emperor's sister.
The Yama King said in a low voice, "If the Emperor dares to interfere in the Lu family's affairs, I will exterminate the Zheng family as well!"
Whether it was the Emperor.
The Prime Minister.
Or a king of a different surname.
These three powerful ministers who held sway in the court were merely chess pieces to him, replaceable at any time.
"Yes!"
"Your subordinate will go and annihilate the Lu family immediately!"
------
The Emperor's Mansion.
Zheng Yu looked at the star map floating in the air with a grave expression.
"What has the Lu family done?"
"Why do they face such a calamity?"
Zheng Yu knew the past and could see the future.
He could divine the future through the star map.
He saw at a glance that the Lu family was about to face a devastating calamity.
"Someone, go to the Lu family and tell everyone in the Lu family to leave Fengdu City!" Zheng Yu immediately ordered the butler to deliver a message to the Lu family.
As he spoke.
His pupils trembled violently.
Because he saw.
The blood-red disaster in the star map, which had been hovering over the Lu family, was now spreading towards the Zheng family.
"Slow, slow, slow!"
"Do not go to the Lu family to deliver the message!"
The Emperor let out a piercing shriek.
A primal fear made him tremble all over.
He had never imagined.
That merely by sending someone to deliver a message to the Lu family, the blood-red disaster had already spread to the Zheng family.
He knew.
This time, the Lu family had provoked a powerful figure.
A figure even he could not afford to offend.
As expected.
Just as he stopped the butler from going to the Lu family,
The blood-red disaster that had spread to the Zheng family receded.
But it still lingered above the Lu family.
"Is it that Lord who does not tolerate the Lu family?" Zheng Yu clenched his fists, unwillingness in his eyes.
He did not want to see his sister suffer such a calamity.
However.
For the future of the Zheng family.
Even though he knew the Lu family was about to face a disaster, he dared not interfere.
"What crime has the Lu family committed?"
"Why is the Lu family not tolerated?"
A series of questions arose in Zheng Yu's mind.
At the same time.
Black and White Impermanence, leading a group of strong individuals under the Yama King, descended upon the Lu family in great numbers.
Lu Xun's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Had the reward come so quickly?
They were not even prepared yet…
Just as he was filled with joy, a thunderous voice reached his ears: "Lu Xun, you have plotted against Lord Yama King, why do you not come out quickly to face your death?"
