Chapter 156: You Are the Face
Those folks over there were from the Angry Heaven Palace.
Their primary goal for coming here was to take out Ji Suying.
If that mission failed, then it was all about wrecking the River and Mountain Seal.
According to the leader of the Angry Heaven Palace, they weren’t quite sure why Ji Suying wanted that seal.
But as long as it was something she desired, there was no way they could let her have it.
However, these outsiders didn’t quite get it.
A native, sealed up and unable to cultivate in this Cave Heaven, how strong could she possibly be?
Even for these mighty fiends known for their physical prowess, taking out a little girl like her should be a piece of cake, right?
Yet some of them stared at Ji Suying and a wicked thought popped into their heads.
“Not gonna lie, this girl is pretty cute, tsk tsk. Once we catch her, we can have some fun first, then finish her off!”
The others nodded and chuckled in agreement.
What they didn’t know was that Ji Suying was lightly tapping the hilt of her sword.
In her heart, she was thinking about taking care of these guys first.
Because she was all too familiar with them.
It was this very group that had drenched this continent in blood during her last life.
She had even completely denied her previous life’s memories.
The world had changed, turned chaotic.
Since the emergence of the Angry Heaven Palace, the original trajectory of the world was all jumbled up.
Now, aside from a few specific treasures and opportunities, not much had changed.
But in reality, things were still shifting.
Take these outside fiends, for example.
If we went by her normal memory, they wouldn’t land in the Immortal Fate Continent for another three hundred years and wouldn’t start their invasion for five hundred years.
Yet here she was, facing them about three to five hundred years early.
But it didn’t matter.
Ji Suying glanced over at the Third Prince.
“If we could delay opening the secret realm a bit, I’ve got some people to take care of!”
At that moment, the Third Prince accepted a watermelon juice handed to him by a member of the Hall of Yama.
He settled into a lavish chair, enjoying a shoulder rub while nodding along.
“Opening the secret realm isn’t something that can be rushed. I need to wait for the right moment and adjust my own state. If you have things to do, just go handle them!”
Ji Suying looked at the Third Prince, who was acting like a spoiled aristocrat, and felt something was off.
She even questioned herself.
Is this really the Third Prince?
Seeing Ji Suying’s peculiar stare, the Third Prince was puzzled.
“What’s wrong with my face?”
Just then, a member of the Hall of Yama brought over a mirror.
Goodness, if the Third Prince didn’t know their true nature, he would’ve thought they were just servants.
They were way too attentive.
Ji Suying shook her head.
“Nothing’s wrong!”
Then she turned her gaze to Ji Mingyue.
“Stay here for now. I need to handle some things!”
Ji Mingyue nodded.
As the Third Prince watched Ji Suying leave with her sword, he quickly sent a message.
“What’s Ji Suying’s connection to my great-uncle? Why on earth did he give her the River and Mountain Seal?”
A member of the Hall of Yama responded via thoughts.
“There is a connection, but we can’t specify what. As for why the Great Yama gave Ji Suying the seal, it’s because if she wants to reach new heights, we should help.”
The Third Prince nodded.
“Right… Can I ask about my two fathers’ hobbies? What do they like to do? Once this is over, I’d like to find a chance to show some filial piety!”
The Hall of Yama members exchanged glances, finding it strange.
But they responded nonetheless.
“The Great Yama delights in having enemies; the more, the merrier. If there are too few enemies, he gets anxious. His favorite pastime is tormenting foes.”
“As for the Second Yama, he’s a big fan of medicine. His favorite thing is healing people and practicing medicine all over the world. For all we know, he truly enjoys saving lives alongside the Great Yama!”
At the mention of saving lives, the Third Prince’s face paled.
Having experienced his two “fathers” saving lives firsthand was enough to make anyone cry or tremble in fear.
These interests were just a tad absurd.
“So, if I want to show my father some respect, I’m doomed, right?”
The Hall of Yama members thought for a moment.
Then one said suddenly,
“Well, it’s not that you can’t show respects. Just don’t bully the weak; you can be arrogant and reckless. If you beat someone, humiliate them, and tell them your father saves lives, well, that works. And if you dislike someone, just flat-out insult them while reminding them of your father saving lives!”
The Third Prince: “…”
Hold up.
This seems to clash a bit with his personality.
Isn’t that a bit lawless?
The Third Prince still felt a bit anxious.
“Are you sure if I really do that, I won’t get beaten to death?”
The members of the Hall of Yama looked at him like he was being daft.
“Haven’t you already died a bunch of times?”
The Third Prince: “…”
Okay, fair enough.
He still hadn’t fully grasped his current identity.
As more and more people gathered and started glaring at the Third Prince, the chapter was far from over—click to the next page to continue reading!
Even the Second Prince and people from the Town National Duke’s residence had arrived.
And as soon as they showed up, they fixed their eyes on the Third Prince, all with malicious intent.
The Third Prince’s expression turned serious.
“Whoa, is that my little brother? A wasted prince like you sure knows how to make a scene.”
“Oh, right! Since you’re no longer a prince, then you should get down on your knees and greet us properly!”
The Third Prince’s eyes sharpened.
Just as he was about to speak, the members of the Hall of Yama rushed forward.
Before anyone could react, they grabbed the Second Prince and started slapping his face.
As for those around the Second Prince who wanted to retaliate, they suddenly found themselves surrounded by people wielding daggers at their throats.
The Third Prince was a bit dazed.
He was even pushed back down into his chair by the Hall of Yama members.
“Master, as the son of the King of Hell, you’re the face of the Hall. The King of Hell doesn’t want to show himself, and that’s why he wants you to take a stand. You don’t need to worry about anything else; just let us handle it.”
The Third Prince could only nod, kind of like a statue.
Before long, the Second Prince’s face was red and swollen like a pig’s head.
Then, like a dead dog, he was thrown at the Third Prince’s feet.
The Hall of Yama members felt the Third Prince was sitting too seriously.
They quickly helped him adopt a more relaxed posture.
In the end, the Third Prince sat back, crossing one leg over his knee, leaning on one hand, his chin resting on his palm, glancing down with a look of disdain at the “dead dog” at his feet.
But that wasn’t all.
Next, a member of the Hall of Yama stood behind the Second Prince, raising a board with words written on it.
The Third Prince looked at those words and, in a daze, began to read aloud.
“Hmph, who do you think you are to bark at me in front of the King of Hell!”
“Of course, I’m in a good mood today and can spare your life, but you slander the King of Hell, which slanders my father saving lives. Bring him forth, castrate him, and throw him out!”
After the Third Prince finished, he couldn’t help but cough.
