This is indeed good news, which not only made Xiao Shizhu excited, but also made the court boil.

In the southeast of the Nine Shadows Country, there are countless minerals of all kinds on the Howling Wind Plain, and after occupying this place, it means that the economy of the Nine Shadows Country can be on a higher level.

More importantly, it is no longer necessary to fight on two fronts, and the disadvantage of a shortage of troops can be improved.

It's just that Lu Wu deliberately pressed that Ji Yumin was slaughtered, so the ministers didn't know that they were still shouting long live to Xiao Shizhu Mountain, which could be regarded as a kind of protection for Xiao Shizhu.

Otherwise, in the hearts of the ministers, most of them will mold Xiao Shizhu into a tyrant. And the saliva of those officials who are useless and can only point fingers and talk about the government and politics, but do not have the slightest constructive suggestions, will fly sideways in the main hall in an instant.

Lu Wu raised his head slightly, stared at Xiao Shizhu on the high platform, and smiled inadvertently; this is no longer the greedy soul who has just entered the underworld and wandered the streets of the capital for a few hundred taels of silver, frequently entering and leaving the casino, but standing up to the sky and conquering the princes of the underworld everywhere.

Lu Wu was sincerely happy for Xiao Shizhu, proud at the same time, but also secretly worried, they all said that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, and the road of Xiao Shizhu would be even more difficult in the future......

Just when Xiao Shizhu received the news of the capture of the Howling Wind Plain, the king of Yama, who was far away in the capital of Xudu, changed into civilian clothes and walked into hell along the secret door behind the Yama Palace.

The so-called stratification of hell is not only speculation in the world, but there are indeed eighteen, half of which are in the belly of Luo Yu Mountain. The only deviation from human mythology is that after Emperor Xudu took charge of the underworld, hell became his family's private prison.

Hell is no longer a synonym for punishing evil and promoting good, but has become a place where Emperor Xudu imprisoned rebels and tortured ghosts who dared to insist on his legitimate right to rule. All the punishments were used to punish demons who dared to disobey his will.

The king of Yama carried a green fire lantern in his hand, and just as he walked into the belly of the mountain, he heard heart-rending screams and curses coming from one after another, reverberating for a long time.

Hearing this, the king of Yama did not even frown, but continued to walk slowly forward with the lantern that illuminated every inch of the square, a situation he had long been accustomed to.

King Yama weaved his way through cobweb-like cobblestone-paved cobblestone passages lined with cells and torture cells on both sides.

Along the way, apart from the entrances and exits, there were not a few officials or jailers in other places, but through the green fire in the lantern that could only illuminate a square inch, I saw many blood-stained walls, and prisoners curled up in the corners of the cells, covered in scales and dying but still carrying heavy flails.

After touching a cup of tea, he came to a huge stone gate.

On the head of the stone door, a grinning tooth is carved, with raised eyebrows and glaring, and the image is majestic. As far as the carving is concerned, it is expressive, not only carving out every beard on the face of the ferophyll, but also making this fierce beast so that no matter what angle you look at, its eyes are always watching you.

But such gates are very common in the midst of hell. Usually after such a gate, felons are held. But the general gate is not as heavily guarded as this gate.

Outside this door, there are four blue-haired and red-faced people standing on the left and right, dressed in soapy clothes, holding ghost sticks made of peach wood four feet long and one inch wide.

"Open the door. King Yama took out a palm-sized piece from his sleeve, engraved with a hundred ghost pictures on the reverse side, and engraved with the word "Xudu" on the front of the book, and showed it to the four cane-holding ghosts, and said in a deep voice: "On the orders of Your Majesty, I came to interrogate the prisoners. ”。

"No. After the staff demons realized that the token was the token of the Emperor Xudu, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and pushed open the heavy stone door.

As soon as the door opened, a smell of blood and a foul smell mixed with something even more pungent than in the dark passage, mingled and mixed in the yin wind, rushed towards the king of Yama, blowing his robe backwards.

When King Yama walked into the door, a bronze lamp in each of the four corners of the room behind the door was lit up, and the blue ghost fire the size of a bean illuminated the square stone room with a diameter of only one zhang behind the door.

I saw that in the middle of the stone room, two dark red iron chains made of dragon's lair iron that could suppress soul qi hung straight from the top, and the shackles at the front end locked the wrist of a human soul, hanging him up, and his feet were two feet off the ground, swaying gently in the air.

The man's soul was covered in tattered clothes, and the tattered parts of his clothes could be faintly seen, and his body was covered with countless whip marks. It seems that after he was imprisoned, he was not less punished.

Not only that, but there were also two male ghosts in the room dressed in purple, with a kind face full of silver hair, and a miserable white face like a thick layer of flour, who were spinning and dancing around the hanging human soul. Behind them, to the left and right, two chains soared in the air, a fist-sized hammer at one end and an iron ghost hand at the other.

The four chains were like spiritual flying dragons, detached from gravity, twisting slightly, following the two purple-clothed ghosts as they swam and fly, making a tinkling sound.

And the two male ghosts, sometimes deceiving themselves into front of the prisoner, suddenly showed a hideous face when they were close to the face, opened their mouths to reveal a mouth full of scorched fangs, and after inhaling suddenly, when the prisoner screamed, the little soul energy left by the prisoner was sucked out of his body.

This is one of the few souls in the underworld called Soul Detention Ghosts, although their appearance is no different from other human souls, they are born with the ability to absorb the soul qi of other ghosts, and behind them is the soul chain that can lock souls in the underworld.

Therefore, most of the servants and jailers under Emperor Xudu are composed of this kind of soul-detaining ghosts. In hell, the ghosts often torture prisoners, sucking their spirits so violently that they are dying.

After taking the prisoners to recuperate for a while, they will smoke again, and before they can fully recover, they will be exhausted again.

"King Chu Jiang, does it taste good to detain the soul?" King Yama stood in front of the prisoner, looked up slightly at the unkempt and sallow-faced prisoner, and asked with a smile: "You really did it, creating a precedent for the king of Yama to be tortured in this way." ”。

"Help me. The prisoner struggled a few times, and his eyes, which were full of dark circles and deep sockets, revealed a fine light and threw himself at Queen Yama, and pleaded angrily, "Help me." ”。

The sound is like a thin mosquito, if it weren't for the fact that King Yama was not far away and his ears were not bad, he really couldn't hear what he said?

"When I heard that the soul qi was sucked by the detained ghost, not only was my body weak, but I also suddenly felt that my body was overturned, and at the same time, my emotions were instantly depressed and sad. It's hard to describe. King Yama sighed twice, but stared at the fact that he had only been seen for a day, and King Chu Jiang's face, which was originally delicate and ruddy, had been thin and sallow, and his heart suddenly sank, and he was still a little unbearable, and waved his hand lightly, signaling the two soul-detaining ghosts to step aside first.

"I can't save you, you dare to assassinate a prince, it's really bold. King Yama lowered his head and sighed, and asked slowly: "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, why did you hire a murderer to assassinate the King of the Nine Shadows?"

As early as a day ago, Xiao Shizhu's grievances, along with the assassins and evidence that assassinated him, were sent to Xudu and sent to the Yama Palace. The long convoy of prisoners instantly caused quite a stir in Xudu.

The king of Yama didn't dare to slack off when he saw it, so he hurriedly told the Emperor Xudu. Without saying a word, Emperor Xudu ordered the ghost to quickly go to the Living Hell Palace, capture the King of Chujiang, and put him in hell and imprisoned.

"No, no. King Chu Jiang opened his chapped lips slightly, panted and replied softly, "I...... I, I'm ...... Yes, by the hands of the devil...... Talent, dare to be so ...... Do this...... done. Every time I spit out a word, it is very difficult.

"Who?" asked the King of Yama, who also asked knowingly, and although he was not present when Emperor Xudu authorized it, after seeing the corroborating evidence, confessions, and assassins, he immediately understood that Emperor Xudu must be the mastermind behind it.

"Emperor Xudu!" roared with all his might, and then roared out of the mouth of the King of Chu Jiang, and his body also shook violently from the excitement, causing the iron chains in his hands to tremble violently and rattle.

"Tell you what you want!" King Yama was stunned for a moment, then scolded angrily, "How could Your Majesty do such a despicable thing?" but secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Before he came in, he really didn't know the end of King Chu Jiang, but now that this word came out, he was sure that King Chu Jiang was definitely dead!

"Hahaha. After King Chu Jiang suddenly laughed wildly, he said confidently: "Has he done less?"

It's not that he's stupid, it's not that his brain is short-circuited, it's that he really can't stand being detained, so he sucks out his soul little by little, and simply turns his heart sideways and tells the truth.

The king of Yama froze in place again, and after a long pause, he lamented and shook his head and turned to leave, without looking at the king of Chujiang, who was still laughing and crazy.

Three moments later, he stood in the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace on Luo Yu Mountain, and under the guidance of the palace slaves, he went to the Ten Thousand Souls Hall where the Emperor Xudu rested.

Entering the hall and coming to the side hall, I saw the Emperor Xudu sitting on the throne in the middle of the depths, looking at the scroll in his hand with relish; there were a lot of classics on the left and right, and the bookcase in front of him was neatly placed with pen holders, pen holders, pen washes, pen washes and other stationery supplies.

It is all made of red sandalwood, and the beautiful utensils of the study room are full of wood luxury, and also contain the cultural taste of the study, and in the side hall full of books, it seems to be even more extraordinary.

"Have you recruited it?" Emperor Xudu glanced up and continued to read the book.

According to the original words of King Chujiang, after the king of Yama came one by one, he lowered his hand and stood aside, waiting for the emperor to decide.

"Kill!" After a while, Emperor Xudu raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
