“Do you still intend to fight even though our Master isn’t around?”

“That’s why we’re doing this! If the King of Hell is here, we would have gone for a sneak attack instead!” Little Seven justified as if he did not see a problem.

The judge murmured in his heart. How brazenly shameless!

The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin concluded that it was indeed a wise decision to bring the Sky-swallowing Beast along with them. As the saying goes, one’s character was influenced by the people that he surrounded himself with. Although the kid may seem absent-minded all the time, Master had raised him to be as sly as himself!

Capturing dead souls was not at all a problem for them. For three ancient mythical beasts, a flick of their claws would easily get them plenty.

The main issue they had to deal with was the King of Hell’s Son, who resided in the Palace of Life and Death.

He was troublesome to handle, as no one could read his mind or figure him out. Fending off the angered Son of the King of Hell could be tougher than dealing with the King of Hell himself.

In the past, when their Master was dueling the King of Hell, the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin could not defeat his son even though they joined forces.

It was mainly because that kid fought as if he did not mind dying.

He took advantage of his immortality and activated all the dead souls in the netherworld. The Fire Qilin still remembered that wicked sneer he had on his face back then.

“You go in, Sky-swallowing Beast,” the Fire Qilin told the little one.

The little one shook his head and said, “Third Aunt told me not to fight before we came.”

Says the one who just pummeled us! The judge thought as he was sprawling on the ground.

The Green Dragon frowned and replied, “We’re entering together, Qilin. Let the Sky-swallowing Beast leave with the dead souls first.”

“Leave?” said the Son of the King of Hell as he emerged from the darkness. He was clad in an oversized black robe, and his canines glinted as he smirked. Then, he continued, “You have decided to barge in here uninvited while your Master isn’t around, you don’t actually expect me to let you return unscathed, do you?”

Upon seeing his form, the Fire Qilin knew that things had gone horribly wrong. The malevolent aura radiating off him was sufficient to agitate the dead souls nearby.

However...

“Why are your hands tied?” This small detail did not escape Fire Qilin’s sharp eyesight.

“That’s none of your business. I’m in a bad mood today, and you people have just walked into your own doom! It is you people who roam the human world freely that I hate the most!” the Son of the King of Hell growled as he cackled viciously.

All of a sudden, the old judge rushed in from aside to hold back the Son of the King of Hell, saying, “Young Master, why do you come out? Quick, hide now. They’re here to kidnap you to the human world!”

“They’re here to kidnap me?” The malevolence in the eyes of the Son of the King of Hell gradually dissipated as they began to twinkle. He repeated, “To the human world?”

The old judge nodded furiously, “Please quickly hide, Young Master. If Master hears that you are kidnapped, he will turn the entire netherworld upside down!”

“Why didn’t you say so.” The Son of the King of Hell smiled as he sauntered towards the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin. He reached his arms out in a friendly manner, and said, “Hurry, tie another loop. A little sacrifice from me for the netherworld is nothing, really.”

The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin exchanged a glance. After all that tension, the battle ceased on his command just like that.

The Son of the King of Hell did not wait for them to tie him up. With a stretch of his neck, he squirmed into the rope they brought along and tied a knot around himself, saying, “That’s more like it. We shouldn’t always be fighting, we should really be more civilized.” He smiled like a kid who had just received candy.

This was the first time they met such a cooperative victim. The Fire Qilin and the Green Dragon were utterly shocked.

The old judge blanked out for a moment before realization dawned upon him. He howled angrily, “Young Master, come back! You mustn’t go to the human world! Master had instructed for you to reflect on your actions! Didn’t you promise the master? You’ve only written a single word for your self-reflection essay! What about the remaining 1000 words?”

“I don’t want to go either, I’m being kidnapped. Tell dad later that I’ve given myself up to the enemy for the sake of the netherworld, and not to bother rescuing me. I will be enjoying my stay there.” The King of Hell’s Son shrugged as he turned towards the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin, urging, “Hurry up and go.”

Kidnapped? Nonsense! It’s obvious that you left on your free will!!! The old judge fought back his urge to bellow at the Son of the King of Hell.

However, he could not bring shame upon the netherworld before the enemy. Not to mention, there was no guarantee that they would be able to defeat the ancient mythical beasts without the Young Master in command.

Meanwhile, although the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin were uncertain why the Son of the King of Hell was so compliant, they would not let such a rare opportunity slide. They hoisted the Son of the King of Hell by his arms and called out to the Sky-swallowing Beast. Together, they raced out of the gates of the netherworld.

The moment the Son of the King of Hell entered the human world, he whipped out a small mirror and began scanning himself, saying, “Wait a minute, I can’t visit Little Hook looking like this, I need to look more handsome. Sigh, why won’t Little Hook marry me? I’m already this charming.”

The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin felt their heads throbbing when facing such a passionately narcissistic person, .

Soon, the Son of the King of Hell realized something was amiss. Looking at the palace maids scurrying past him, he narrowed his dreamy eyes dangerously and growled, “What is this, why are we in the ancient times again!” His Little Hook did not even exist in ancient times.

“Put him down.” A crisp, deep voice sounded from behind the Son of the King of Hell.

The Son of the King of Hell paused. How could he have forgotten that the ancient mythical beasts only roamed around and heeded the orders of the Great Demon King, who only appeared in ancient times?

Realizing that he would not be meeting his sweetheart, his alluring, doll-like face drooped as he grunted, “What business do you have with me?”

Baili Jia Jue met the Son of the King of Hell alone and asked, “Why isn’t her Book of Life and Death in the netherworld?” His cold gaze swept across the face of Son of the King of Hell.

The Son of the King of Hell chuckled with a tint of slyness in his eyes, replying, “So you’ve caught on. I thought you didn’t notice back then. It’s really not a big deal. As a devil, you should know that only anomalies are exempted from the jurisdiction of the netherworld. Examples of such anomalies include you, a god who fell from divinity and turned into a devil.”

A God?

The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin were dumbfounded by what they had just heard.

A God?

Our Master was a God?

Thick waves of astonishment flickered in the depth of their eyes.

They never knew that their Master was a God.

Perhaps even Master was unaware of this. Otherwise, why would he not mention it all this time?

Under normal circumstances, fallen Gods would be stripped of their celestial bones and body. Not even their memory would remain. Few would actually survive the fall from heaven.

But Master...

When they first met him, he radiated such intense demonic aura, they could not tell he was a God before at all.

Although Baili Jia Jue lost all his memories as a God, he could still recall remnants of the sound of Demon Killing Sanskrit Hymn and the nine days of chaos.

“I’m not interested in the past. All I need to know from you is the Helian Wei Wei’s true identity.” Baili Jia Jue’s glance was impassive yet lustrous, as if molten gold was flowing within.

The Son of the King of Hell could recognize the signs of demonization in him. However, he was also unsure about Helian Wei Wei’s true identity, replying, “I think she has the Dharma Bone.”

“Her Dharma is more powerful than the Dharma bone,” Baili Jia Jue’s calmly answered.

The Son of the King of Hell shrugged and added, “I only know that in her last life, she was the exorcist you kept hiding from...”
