Chapter 149: Is This Organization Serious?
At first.
When these people heard that Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were the two Yama Kings of the King of Hell Hall, they thought, “Wow, they must be really impressive.”
But then they figured it was just a title; after all, they had heard of other similar organizations before, like the Shura Hall and Hell’s Chapel.
Just names, right?
Little did they know they were dealing with the real deal.
These guys were genuine Yama Kings!
Lin Wudao looked at the pale-faced crowd and quickly explained,
“Don’t get it twisted! We, the King of Hell Hall, we’re all very much alive! It’s just that when you join us, you’ll cultivate into a body of extreme Yin. Since we’re all of extreme Yin nature, we might look a bit spooky, but trust me, we’re good people!”
“And we’re not just alive and kicking, some of us even have something like an immortal constitution!”
As he said this, Lin Wudao glanced over at the Shadow Guards.
One of them promptly twisted their own head off.
Then, much to the amazement of the crowd, the blood from the Shadow Guard’s neck resembled thin threads, reattaching the head back onto its body.
The crowd: “…”
Seriously?
This demonstration just made us more convinced you guys aren’t human!
The loose cultivators were too scared to say a word.
“Boom~”
Just then, there was a loud noise.
Everyone watched as a group of people came rushing out of a distant hall like leaves in a storm.
They scattered, utterly lifeless.
On top of that, some of the barely surviving individuals, looking terrified, tried to flee this place.
Only to encounter a bunch of armored skeleton soldiers charging at them.
Those cultivators were completely defenseless.
But after the skeleton soldiers dispatched those unfortunate souls, they started lying on the ground, drinking the blood of the fallen cultivators.
“Damn it!”
Liu Shunyi was not happy about that.
“Trying to steal my business!”
He stood up and shouted at the skeleton soldiers, “Get lost!”
The skeleton soldiers looked up at Liu Shunyi, and upon seeing the black mist swirling around him, they all kneeled down and trembled in fear.
Liu Shunyi was perplexed.
“Seriously?
I was just yelling out of frustration!
Why are you all so afraid?
This is making me feel like a real Yama!”
But Liu Shunyi didn’t have time to worry about that.
Seeing all the corpses on the ground, he quickly pulled out a gourd and started siphoning the blood from these bodies.
“Boom~”
Streams of blood gathered like rivers, pouring into Liu Shunyi’s gourd.
With that ominous black mist surrounding him, he looked like a demonic overlord.
Meanwhile, the newly joined loose cultivators were simultaneously gulping down their fears.
They turned to Lin Wudao and asked, “Uh, I want to know, is the King of Hell Hall really a legitimate organization?”
Lin Wudao smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, we are extremely legitimate! Our motto is to utilize every resource and never waste anything!”
The crowd looked back at Liu Shunyi.
At this point, Liu Shunyi turned to Zhao Gou and said, “We should save these lives. Their bodies can still function.”
Zhao Gou nodded. “Got it!”
He then shouted, “Save the dead!”
Right after saying that, they saw the corpses swell rapidly, only to dry up again in a flash.
Then, they quickly swelled once more, eventually turning into skeletal remains.
Everyone looked at Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao took a deep breath and stated, “We also believe in giving the dead a peaceful resting place. See? This makes it quite convenient to bury them!”
The crowd: “…”
They once again turned their gazes toward Liu Shunyi.
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were already digging graves with shovels.
At one point, Zhao Gou gestured and tossed a skeleton out from one of the graves.
Then, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou pulled out three brown pearls from the grave.
The crowd looked at Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao: “…”
Liu Shunyi then directly asked Lin Wudao, “Hey, Old Lin, come take a look at these things. Don’t tell me they aren’t super useful for us at the King of Hell Hall!”
Lin Wudao sighed, feeling tired.
Then he walked over to inspect.
Upon seeing the pearls, Lin Wudao was instantly awestruck. “Yin Soul Pearls! These actually exist!”
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou both fixed their eyes on Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao composed himself and said, “Liu, Zhao, each Yin Soul Pearl is equivalent to a thousand of those Spiritual Soul Pills you make, Liu! Plus, they can cultivate the Nine Nether Qi and, if we’re lucky, even create Nine Nether Fire! For our King of Hell Hall, this is a massive upgrade—no, it’s a breakthrough!”
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were both shocked.
Whether it was Nine Nether Qi or Nine Nether Fire, it all sounded super powerful.
But Liu Shunyi glanced at the distant hall and uncertainly said, “I feel like there’s something in there connected to me and my ‘talented’ doctor. Let’s go in and check it out. You handle things here, all right?”
“Don’t worry! Leave this to me. You two go do your thing!”
Once the two had left, Lin Wudao handed each of the new King of Hell Hall members a shovel.
“Start digging! Dig up all the graves!”
The crowd: “…”
One young man, confused, asked, “Aren’t we supposed to give them a peaceful resting place?”
Lin Wudao smiled at the boy and said, “Don’t worry! They’re already settled!”
The crowd: “…”
Then a group of them started digging with shovels.
At first, they thought this was a serious violation of morality.
But once they received Blood Pills and Spiritual Soul Pills from Lin Wudao and felt their souls and bodies rapidly improving, they went all in with renewed energy. Some were practically digging three feet into the earth.
Lin Wudao gazed at the winding yellow river with a strange look in his eyes.
He recognized this river.
After swallowing a Spiritual Soul Pill, he had seen a river rushing toward him.
It looked remarkably similar.
But back then, it had seemed broader.
This river felt too small.
Lin Wudao squatted by the bank, observing the water.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the river. It was grinning back at him with an eerie smile.
Lin Wudao, unperturbed, pulled out his judgment book and flipped through it.
“Hmm? Spirit of the Yellow Springs, member of the King of Hell Hall, needs to be dealt with by Yama!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Springs Spirit laughed even more.
“You have quite the insight. Since you seem to be one of us, I advise you not to disturb Lord Yama while he’s sleeping. That’d be a bad idea!”
Lin Wudao raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying there’s really a Yama?”
The Yellow Springs Spirit smiled without answering.
Now Lin Wudao felt curious.
He looked at his judgment book, and the direct report listed Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou!
Lin Wudao chuckled, “Oh, this is going to be entertaining!”
