The Black and White Impermanence, who had intended to smoothly complete their performance metrics, were called out by Ye Ling. They could only hook the souls of dozens of people and walk before Ye Ling, forcing a smile onto their faces as they asked, "Your Majesty, what is it?"
Ye Ling glanced at the souls behind the Black and White Impermanence and said, "Give me the souls of the Dragon Department, and I will revive them."
The Black Impermanence's mouth twitched. He cautiously said to Ye Ling, "Your Majesty... isn't it almost the end of the year? My brother and I haven't met our performance targets. If you take these people back, it will be difficult for us."
Most people who died in the mortal world of Huaguo were hooked by the Black and White Impermanence. However, although the Black and White Impermanence were immortals, they were only two people, and they also had moments of laziness and negligence. This resulted in a small portion of people's souls not being hooked to the underworld, eventually turning into wandering spirits in the mortal world, left behind in the world.
To prevent this situation, the underworld sets targets for the Black and White Impermanence each year according to the Book of Life and Death. This forces the Black and White Impermanence to frantically chase performance at the end of the year, making up for all the laziness from the beginning of the year.
Dozens of people died in this quarry, and they were all extraordinary individuals. The soul of one extraordinary individual was worth hundreds or thousands of ordinary people's souls. If Ye Ling took them all, the Black and White Impermanence would truly struggle to cope.
Ye Ling was already a regular customer who frequently interacted with the Black and White Impermanence, and he understood their difficulties. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll send a batch down to you later. You don't need to worry about your performance."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the Black and White Impermanence exchanged glances. They knew that the natural order of the world was nothing in front of Ye Ling, and they had no right to refuse. They could only nod in agreement, "Since Your Majesty has said so, my brother and I cannot continue to be stubborn. These souls... please take them back, Your Majesty."
After speaking, the Black and White Impermanence bowed deeply to Ye Ling and dispersed into two wisps of smoke.
As the Black and White Impermanence left, Ye Ling glanced at the remaining souls at the scene. Among them were extraordinary individuals from the Dragon Department and the Shadow Hall.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling had never seen them and could not distinguish them. So, he released the Great Dao of Reincarnation and revived everyone present.
The extraordinary individuals of the Dragon Department in the quarry were all dumbfounded and extremely shocked to see their deceased colleagues being revived one by one, with their injuries completely healed!
Wang Liren, lying in the pit, also quickly recovered to his peak state under the healing of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.
"This, this..."
The Dragon Department extraordinary individuals stared at the unbelievable scene in the field, their minds going blank, and they stopped thinking.
The dead cannot be brought back to life; this was common knowledge known to everyone. The Dragon Department extraordinary individuals had personally witnessed the deaths of their colleagues, and all they felt was sadness. They had never imagined that their colleagues could be resurrected!
And now... they had personally witnessed the resurrected, and they didn't know how to describe their feelings!
They didn't know whether to be happy or terrified.
Liao Hong, whose body had a large hole, slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the bloody hole in his chest quickly heal, his eyes were filled with confusion. He muttered to himself, "Have I arrived in the underworld?"
"Old Liao!"
At this moment, an excited Wang Liren rushed over and hugged Liao Hong, crying, "That's great! You're finally alive!"
Liao Hong, held by Wang Liren, was still a bit stunned and didn't understand what had happened. He asked in confusion, "Liren? You died too?"
He only remembered being blasted with a bloody hole by Fu Tu, and he should have been certain to die. But now he was unharmed, and his spiritual power was abundant. This was truly too bizarre.
Wang Liren laughed and cried, "His Majesty revived you! His Majesty has arrived!"
"His Majesty revived me?"
Hearing Wang Liren's words, Liao Hong was still a bit stunned. He knew that the Emperor of the Demon Palace was very powerful, but he didn't know he was so powerful!
The ability to revive the dead? How heaven-defying was this ability?
Liao Hong could not imagine it!
However, before Liao Hong could savor the moment, he saw Fu Tu climbing up behind Wang Liren, holding his giant axe and slashing towards them!
"Liren, be careful!"
Liao Hong's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly exclaimed, pushing Wang Liren away!
The revived Fu Tu raised his giant axe and slashed fiercely at Liao Hong!
Wang Liren, who had been pushed away, had no time to rescue and could only watch as the giant axe in Fu Tu's hand chopped towards Liao Hong's head!
Fu Tu didn't understand how he had come back to life, but he was filled with rage at this moment and only wanted to kill Wang Liren and Liao Hong. He poured all his strength into his axe and roared, "I'll kill you!"
*Chih!*
As soon as Fu Tu finished shouting, Ye Ling instantly appeared in front of Fu Tu and easily decapitated him.
Scarlet blood gushed from Fu Tu's headless corpse.
*Bang!!!*
Fu Tu's body, as massive as a small mountain, fell straight in front of Liao Hong, splashing blood all over Liao Hong, leaving him stunned.
Ye Ling threw Fu Tu's head in front of Wang Liren and said, "Don't get too excited. Don't forget this is enemy territory; you need to stay vigilant. By the way, I couldn't tell who was from your Dragon Department and who was from the Shadow Hall earlier, so I revived everyone. You organize the Dragon Department's extraordinary individuals to send those from the Shadow Hall down."
Wang Liren looked at Fu Tu's head rolling in front of him and subconsciously nodded, replying, "Oh..."
Ye Ling raised a ball of demonic energy with his fingertip and sent it into Wang Liren's body. He said, "Don't disappoint me again. I can't always come to your rescue."
Wang Liren felt the surging power within him, and his nose instantly stung. His eyes became moist again, and he nodded forcefully at Ye Ling, "Mhm!"
Seeing the determined look in Wang Liren's eyes, Ye Ling smiled and said, "Keep it up."
With that, Ye Ling turned and walked towards Tian Ling and Li Wuxin.
Liao Hong looked at Ye Ling's retreating figure and finally realized that the young man in front of him was the number one immortal of this era. He immediately knelt towards Ye Ling's back, kowtowed, and expressed his gratitude, "Dragon Department's Liao Hong thanks Your Majesty for your intervention! The Dragon Department will never forget Your Majesty's kindness!"
Seeing the respected Liao Hong kneel, the other Dragon Department extraordinary individuals also knelt towards Ye Ling and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving us! The Dragon Department will never forget Your Majesty's kindness!"
The synchronized voices of the Dragon Department extraordinary individuals echoed in the quarry.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding Shadow Hall extraordinary individuals not only did not counterattack but were also scared out of their wits and fled madly.
The appearance of the Demon Palace Master had completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Shadow Hall extraordinary individuals!
Tian Ling squinted and smiled when she saw Ye Ling approaching, "Senior Brother is truly magnificent!"
Li Wuxin also respectfully bowed, "Senior Uncle saved the Dragon Department and has greatly benefited Huaguo. Junior Nephew, on behalf of the Cangyan Army, expresses the highest respect to my Master."
Ye Ling smiled and ruffled Tian Ling's hair, then looked at the several spires in the castle and said, "Don't be happy too soon. Now... it's just the beginning."
