Chapter 880 – Forced

An Zheng’s body went limp as he fell to the ground, yet he still turned his head to look in the direction of Qu Liuxi. Although he was protected by the Reverse Scale Armor, Qu Liuxi was injured because he had used his life soul, the Divine Phoenix, to attack the death worm, but he still looked slightly better. He staggered over to An Zheng, ran a few steps, and then fell down.

The good old man in the distance had already slowly closed his eyes and was lying on the ground as if he was asleep.

The underground palace had almost completely collapsed, but fortunately, An Zheng and the others were not buried by the rocks that came crashing down. The eighteen bronze pillars just happened to be where An Zheng and the rest were but they did not collapse, so fine sand fell from above like flowing water.

The surroundings were completely silent. The sound of sand falling to the ground was extremely clear.

After an unknown period of time, An Zheng woke up. The weakness and discomfort of his body was disappearing. Looks like Qu Liuxi’s judgement was correct. This kind of Hell’s Qi that could directly weaken a person like poison had also disappeared after the death of the death worm. If An Zheng and the others had not taken care of such a monster, the people of zhengzong would not know how great of a disaster would have befallen them in the future.

When An Zheng woke up, he looked at Qu Liuxi’s direction. The gentle and tranquil girl was still unconscious. An Zheng crawled over with both hands and legs, after testing Qu Liuxi’s breath and discovering that there was nothing wrong with it, he finally relaxed a little.

An Zheng didn’t dare to move Qu Liuxi. He first recalled the kitten into the Blood Pearl’s space, then returned to Qu Liuxi’s side and sat down. After taking a jug of wine, he fiercely took a gulp.

An Zheng had encountered countless dangers in his life, which one of those enemies or villains was not vicious? But this time it was too dangerous, if not for good old man’s display of power, killing death worm would not have been an easy task.

After the jug of wine passed down, An Zheng’s trembling hands finally stabilized. He first released Heaven’s Eyes and made sure that there was no threat outside for the time being before he got up and carried Qu Liuxi out. This place was extremely important to the zhengzong. If it wasn’t for the fact that they wanted to hunt An Zheng down and cause all the zhengzong experts in this area to come out, there would have been no one who would come to this place.

An Zheng carried Qu Liuxi and walked back the way she came from. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned his head to look at the eighteen Underworld Prefecture Lord s. Although he didn’t know what they had done in the past and didn’t know why they had died, it would be dangerous if he didn’t have them this time around. An Zheng tied Qu Liuxi onto his back and turned around. Then, he went back and dug out the corpses of the eighteen Underworld Prefecture Lord s from the rubble and took out some clear water from the dimensional tool he used to clean up the filth.

An Zheng looked around him. In the distance, there waiece of ground that looked relatively flat. An Zheng moved eighteen corpses over, clasped his hands together and bowed. Then, he buried these corpses well. In order to avoid being destroyed by others, he did not make tombstones for these eighteen people.

After making all the necessary arrangements, An Zheng turned around and walked out. Halfway there, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if a cold breeze was blowing behind him. He thought that Qu Liuxi had changed somehow, so he immediately put him down for inspection. Realizing that Qu Liuxi’s breathing was steady, he couldn’t help but be a little shocked in her heart.

Just as he was about to leave, a black figure suddenly appeared before him. When An Zheng stood up, he had almost bumped into the black silhouette. That thing was soundless and it was already very close to An Zheng but An Zheng did not notice it at all.

An Zheng subconsciously protected Qu Liuxi behind him as the Broken Army Sword had already made its move.

However, the sharpness of the Broken Army Sword was useless, because that thing suddenly disappeared. An Zheng felt that this place was getting more and more strange. He carried Qu Liuxi and, withought, let the Reverse Scale Armor protect Qu Liuxi completely, then walked outside in large strides.

After walking through a few winding tunnels, he reached the place where he met the eighteen Underworld Prefecture Lord s. An Zheng heaved a sigh of relief at this point.

After walking a few steps forward, An Zheng’s body suddenly froze, he could not take the next step.

He turned his head to the side and looked at the wall … A tall man wearing a strange armor witorn on his head stood there. His body was inlaid into the wall and his eyes were closed. On the left side of his armor was the writing of Yin and Yang on his palm, while on the right side was the writing of life and death on his hand …

An Zheng’s hair stood on end as he subconsciously hugged Qu Liuxi who was in her embrace.

That person was one of the eighteen Prefecture Lord s that An Zheng had buried earlier. Although An Zheng had not completely buried those people earlier, his appearance was still not bad. It was as if this person had been standing there completely untouched, completely unharmed. An Zheng swallowed his saliva, thinking: Could it be that everything that happened in the underground palace was an illusion?

He took a closer look, that Prefecture Lord of the Underworld looked likhirty year old middle-aged man, he had a dignified look on his face. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. He had no idea how long he had been dead.

An Zheng slowly let out a breath of relief, thinking that this place had too many strange things. Just as he was about to leave, that fellow suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently into An Zheng’s eyes. A wave of cold air rose from An Zheng’s heart.

When he turned around, he saw the Prefecture Lord of the Underworld on the wall opposite him raise his arm and struggle a few times before coming out from the wall. His eyes also opened, staring straight at An Zheng.

Kacha kacha sounds rang out incessantly. The eighteen corpses embedded in the walls on both sides of the hall began to move. They mechanically struggled free from his grasp, and then slowly walked to An Zheng’s side, surrounding him in an instant.

A group of tall and big fellows with ashen complexions surrounded An Zheng, neither saying nor dodging. It was as if a gust of cold air was blowing on An Zheng’s face, and it seemed to be the breathing of those people … This feeling, was something that even An Zheng himself felt as if he had died a horrible death.

“You all... What do you want to do? ”

An Zheng asked.

The Underworld Prefecture Lord s that were surrounding him suddenly opened a path. The Prefecture Lord that An Zheng had seen before, with the word “eighteen” carved on the stone wall above him, walked in from behind. The other Prefecture Lord s opened uath for him.

“To think that the last person we have to thank was actually a person.”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s seemed to be the youngest, with dignified appearances. The horn on his head was slightly longer than the others, and there were faint purplish-gold markings on it.

“Thank me?”

Before An Zheng could react, the eighteen Prefecture Lord s suddenly cupped their fists and bowed, “Eighteen Lords of the Underworld, I thank you for your graciousness.”

An Zheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “I just thought I should, so you don’t need to thank me.”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s stood up straight, looked An Zheng in the eyes and said, “We are not the same kind of people. You are the kind of human that I hate to the extreme. The simple difference was that humans had good people and bad people. You’re not a bad person, so I don’t like it. In the Infernal Realm, it was better to have more evil souls. I think all the good people around me are hypocritical, partly for fame, partly to numb themselves in that way. You seem different, but I hate you just the same. ”

An Zheng: “You hate me so much that you want to fight me?”

“I won’t.”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s stood there and raised their heads to look at the sky, “The eighteen levels of hell were all decided by us, we can do whatever we want here. The heavens have given us this kind of authority and status. However, we were humiliated by the arrival of that guy. I smelled his cassock on you... So, he should be dead as well, right? ”

As he said those last words, his tone contained some disappointment and also some gratification.

“He’s finally dead.”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s sighed, “We can also die more peacefully now.”

An Zheng: “That person you’re talking about, is he a Buddha or not?”

“Buddha?”

The voice of the eighteen Prefecture Lord s trembled a little. It was obvious that they were all excited: “How is he even a Buddha? He called himself the Great Hidden Duke in hell because he wanted to kill us from the very beginning. What does the Buddhist Sect’s declaration of kindness have to do with such ruthlessness and ruthlessness? ”

An Zheng said: “The Buddhist Sect said that if there is a Bodhisattva, then there is naturally an infuriating glare.”

“I don’t care about that, I only know that he is the biggest evil demon.”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s seemed to have lost control of themselves after saying this as they shook their heads: “Forget it, this is already the past. If he’s dead, then we’re dead as well. The Infernal Realm was no longer the Infernal Realm it used to be. Although we have always treated the souls of hell harshly when we were here, that is why there is an order of hell. If he were to kill us, he would be dead as well. But what about hell itself? ”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s looked at An Zheng and said, “You can go now, we have already thanked you for everything that you have done.”

An Zheng nodded his head: “You guys are still alive and well.”

Eighteen Prefecture Lord frowned slightly. “These words …”

An Zheng shrugged his shoulders and carried Qu Liuxi out. Just as he was about to reach the end of the passage, he suddenly felt the cold energy behind him growing increasingly stronger. Right at this moment, a few hands grabbed onto An Zheng’s shoulders, locking him in place. A few Prefecture Lord s flew over and stopped An Zheng, and one of them whispered into An Zheng’s ear, “We are all undead, you shouldn’t have helped us.”

An Zheng frowned and sighed: “I shouldn’t, but I don’t regret it.”

The person started laughing out loud, within his laughter, there was relief that An Zheng could not understand.

“Give it to him!”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s shouted, and then they opened their mouth and spat out a stream of black Qi.

The eighteen Underworld Prefecture Lord s all opened their mouths, as a black aura surged out from their mouths. This black energy came like an illusionary black python, entangling An Zheng tightly. Streams of black aura drilled into An Zheng’s nostrils, ears, and eyes. An Zheng’s body instantly swelled up, as if it would burst at any time.

“You really shouldn’t have buried us. We aren’t good people.”

One of the Prefecture Lord laughed sinisterly, “Now we let you know the consequences of burying us.”

The black energy nearly burst An Zheng’s body, and the power that came from hell made every inch of his skin feel like it was about to explode. He was a living person, so it was impossible for him to withstand the power of the undead spirits.

Right at this moment, a Prefecture Lord’s mouth opened even wider, and then a bright golden pearl came out of his mouth. It circled around An Zheng once, then suddenly entered An Zheng’s mouth. The bead was as big as a chicken’s egg, and was forcibly stuffed into An Zheng’s mouth. An Zheng’s throat was blocked and almost suffocated.

Witfft sound, after the first golden bead entered, the other Prefecture Lord s also spat out their golden beads and crawled into An Zheng’s mouth, one by one.

“You have no idea how terrifying this power is.”

The eighteen Prefecture Lord s walked over and used An Zheng’s head to spit out the golden pearl. The golden pearl turned into a golden flow of air and entered An Zheng’s nose. After that, he pushed An Zheng away and turned around with large strides. With his back facing An Zheng, he walked into the darkness: “We are Prefecture Lord of the Underworld, we don’t owe you anything. You should slowly experience it, this power will make your life worse than death. ”

“But I will make you... He was terrifyingly powerful.
