"My goodness, the Ghost Realm is flooded?!"
The Fire Demon King stared in disbelief until a yellow wave knocked him to the ground.
The power within my body is rapidly decreasing.
"Oh no! This water is strange; it's somewhat like the water of the Yellow Springs deep in the underworld?"
The Fire Ghost King was terrified. Since ancient times, the Yellow Spring Water has been the nemesis of ghosts. Any ghost that comes into contact with it will either have its power greatly reduced or its soul scattered.
The Fire Ghost King, who hadn't moved his buttocks for who knows how many years, suddenly stood up. Seeing that things were not going well, he prepared to make a run for it, cursing under his breath, "That old Yama is really despicable. He actually used this method to deal with me. I don't know where he got so much Yellow Spring Water."
Just as the Fire Ghost King was about to leave, a flying sword blocked his path. The moment he saw the black flying sword, the Fire Ghost King trembled.
"What kind of treasure is this? It has such a dense and pure aura of the netherworld, as if it was born from the land of the Nine Netherworlds."
"Besides the long-lost Emperor Fengdu, who else in the entire Ghost Realm could forge such a magical treasure?"
"The Emperor of Fengdu has returned?!"
The Fire Ghost King stopped in his tracks, not daring to move. Firstly, he was in awe of the legendary Emperor Fengdu, and secondly, he wanted to see who the owner of the flying sword was.
Three figures appeared outside the Fire Ghost Palace.
Xu Changqing said loudly, "If the Fire Ghost King wants to leave, please leave the Fire Spirit Orb behind first, and we will certainly not make things difficult for you."
【Fengdu】 circled in the air a few times before quickly flying back to Chu Yang's side.
The Fire Demon King asked curiously, "Is this your sword?"
Chu Yang nodded.
The Fire Demon King continued, "Where did you get this sword?"
Chu Yang frowned and said, "What does this have to do with you? I haven't laid a hand on you; I've already been quite restrained."
If it weren't for the fact that the Fire Ghost King had stayed obediently in the Ghost Realm for thousands of years and had never harmed a single person, Chu Yang wouldn't have bothered talking so much nonsense to him.
【Fengdu】has an absolute ability to restrain ghosts. Not to mention the Fire Ghost King, even if the Lord of the Ghost Realm, Yama, were to come in person, Chu Yang would not be afraid.
"No!" The Fire Demon King's eyes darted away, seemingly afraid, but he still shook his head in refusal. "How could I easily give away something I've worked so hard to obtain, unless..."
“If you curse Yama a few times in front of me, then spit on his portrait and stomp on it a few times, I’ll consider giving you the Fire Spirit Orb.”
Li Xiaoyao was unbearably hot and just wanted to leave this wretched place as soon as possible. Seeing the Fire Ghost King dawdling, he couldn't help but curse, "What's wrong with you? Hand over the Fire Spirit Orb right now. I have no intention of playing with you."
The Fire Demon King said in a deep voice, "Since you are unwilling, yet still want to steal my Fire Spirit Orb, then you are Yama's men!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Ghost King launched an attack on Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing. Strangely, his attacks always bypassed Chu Yang, as if he dared not hit him.
Chu Yang found it amusing, and a smile crept onto his face. He could take this opportunity to check on Li Xiaoyao's progress in swordsmanship.
After several rounds, Li Xiaoyao sensed something was wrong. After dodging the Fire Ghost King's attacks, he roared, "Why have you been chasing us for so long? There's another one standing over there, why aren't you attacking him?!"
The Fire Demon King answered very honestly, "I dare not hit him."
Xu Changqing looked at the Fire Ghost King with surprise. Why was the other party so afraid of him when it was only the first time he met his junior brother Chu Yang?
Judging from the Fire Demon King's reaction, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
Why don't you dare hit him?
"He may be the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu."
Who is the Emperor of Fengdu?
"The Ghost Realm was originally under the jurisdiction of the Fengdu Emperor, who was a god born at the same time as the Three Sovereigns. However, the Fengdu Emperor later disappeared, and the master of the Ghost Realm became Yama the Boy."
"What makes you think he is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu?"
"Because only the Emperor of Fengdu can refine his magic weapon."
The Fire Demon King suddenly flew into a rage, shouting, "How dare that lowly Yama become the ruler of the Ghost Realm? I refuse to accept it! The master of the Ghost Realm can only be the Great Emperor of Fengdu!"
Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing exchanged a glance, then pointed at Chu Yang and said in unison, "That's right, he is the Emperor of Fengdu!"
Chu Yang: “???”
The Fire Demon King suddenly fell silent.
Li Xiaoyao coughed lightly and said, "Fire Ghost King, the Emperor of Fengdu wants the Fire Spirit Orb in your possession. Will you give it to him or not?"
The Fire Ghost King nodded without hesitation and said, "If it's the Emperor of Fengdu, I can give it to him."
He pulled out a Fire Spirit Orb from somewhere and respectfully presented it to Chu Yang, his attitude extremely devout.
The title of Emperor Fengdu is very useful; it's almost as good as Jingtian's "General Feipeng".
Chu Yang took the Fire Spirit Orb and gestured to Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao to leave. The two silently retreated, preparing to leave the Fire Ghost Palace.
But the next second, a terrifying surge of spiritual energy suddenly came from behind them, forcing them to stop.
Xu Changqing turned around and saw the Demon Lord Chonglou with an angry expression.
Did I do something to offend him?
"Give me back what you took!"
Chonglou thrust his palm horizontally, and the red demonic light crashed down on Xu Changqing, causing the entire Fire Ghost Palace to tremble.
It took Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing working together to block this attack.
Chonglou wanted to make another move.
Chu Yang flashed in front of the two, blocking their path, and roared, "How dare the dignified Demon Lord break his promise!"
Chonglou sneered, looking at Chu Yang with disdain.
How can I compare to you?
"Emperor Fengdu!"
Chu Yang: “???”
"No, you seem to have misunderstood something. Let me explain."
Originally, Chu Yang only intended to fool the Fire Ghost King, but unexpectedly, it was Chonglou who fell for the trap. Looking at the furious Chonglou, Chu Yang felt a sense of foreboding.
Just then, the Fire Demon King suddenly stood in front of them.
"You are not allowed to be disrespectful to the Emperor of Fengdu!"
The silly Fire Ghost King was so adorable in Chu Yang's eyes at that moment.
"court death!"
Chonglou used his hand as a knife and slashed through the air.
The slash, radiating red demonic light, seemed to transcend time and space, sending the Fire Demon King flying with unparalleled power, and causing most of the entire hall to collapse instantly.
The power of one blow is so terrifying.
Chu Yang's expression was solemn. The Demon Lord was very murderous today, completely different from before in Leizhou.
How could this happen out of nowhere?
Recalling what Chonglou had just said, a thought suddenly flashed through Chu Yang's mind: Chonglou was so furious because of the Holy Spirit Pearl.
He looked down on Xu Changqing and was even more furious that Zixuan had paid an unbearable price to save Xu Changqing.
"Demon Lord, please calm down. If you have come for the Holy Spirit Pearl, I still have a way to remedy the situation. There is no need to make a big fuss."
Chonglou's terrifying aura diminished sharply, but he still stared coldly at Chu Yang, seemingly waiting for his next words.
"The Five Elemental Pearls and the Holy Spirit Pearl are connected by the same spirit. As long as the former is gathered, the Holy Spirit Pearl can be repaired."
"We have now obtained three spirit orbs, and it will be only a matter of time before we gather all five. What does the Demon Lord think?"
Chu Yang wore a faint smile, appearing confident and composed.
Chonglou remained silent for a while. Rather than pointlessly venting his anger, repairing the Holy Spirit Pearl was the most important thing.
"Then I'll spare him one more time," Chonglou said coldly. "If the Holy Spirit Pearl isn't repaired, everyone will pay the price, including you, the Emperor of Fengdu!"
Brother, everyone says you've misunderstood!
Why do you keep calling me the Emperor of Fengdu?
Chu Yang glanced at the heavily injured and unconscious Fire Ghost King, and only after confirming that no one was around did he speak up to explain, "Demon Lord, you've really misunderstood. I'm not the Emperor of Fengdu. The Fire Ghost King has mistaken me for someone else!"
Chonglou said expressionlessly, "If you are not the reincarnation of the Fengdu Emperor, how could you travel through the Ghost Realm with your physical body? Or are you, like me, actually a demon?"
Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao looked at Chu Yang with suspicion.
Junior brother, aren't we just fooling people?
Why are you actually doing this for real?!
Chu Yang then realized why Chonglou had so easily believed the Fire Ghost King's words.
When a normal person enters the ghost realm, their physical body remains in the mortal world, but he is able to do so without restriction. In Chonglou's eyes, this is the best proof.
The reason why Chu Yang is different from ordinary people is that he also has the identity of a death god. He did not cross the ghost realm in his physical body, but instead became a spirit particle.
But others simply cannot distinguish this state, which is why such a misunderstanding occurs.
Seeing that Chu Yang couldn't explain, Chonglou said with displeasure, "A real man should say what he means, why are you hiding it and afraid to admit it? Are you afraid that I won't acknowledge our previous agreement?"
"You can rest assured about that. For me, losing is losing, and it has nothing to do with who you are. I will not kill Xu Changqing; I will only take the remaining spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Pearl from his body."
