After leaving Tushita Palace, King Zhou appeared again in the underworld.
"Let's go! Hurry up!"
At this moment, Black and White Wuchang waved the whip in his hand and came over with a large number of lonely ghosts in custody.
Seeing King Zhou who looked like Qin Tian, Hei Bai Wuchang rushed to greet him.
Bai Wuchang approached him respectfully, "Master Debt Collector, why are you here?"
"I'm just here to take a look." King Zhou pointed at the group of lonely ghosts behind Black and White Wuchang and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hei Wuchang replied respectfully, "We are planning to take them to Naihe Bridge to reincarnate."
"So that's it."
As he spoke, King Zhou turned his eyes and rubbed his chin, with a sinister look in his eyes. "What would happen if these lonely ghosts were accidentally let go?"
Black and White Wuchang's heart suddenly thumped, thinking that Qin Tian was here to help the King of Hell inspect the work.
Hei Wuchang waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "How could it be possible? It's impossible for us to let them go. Please don't worry, debt collector!"
Bai Wuchang also swore and patted his chest and promised, "With us here, debt collection means you don't have to worry about this kind of thing happening."
King Zhou's face darkened and he said, "I'm asking you what will happen if you let these lonely ghosts run away. Who told you to say this?"
Hei Wuchang murmured in his heart, why did the debt collector suddenly ask this?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he still explained to King Zhou respectfully.
"It would be better if we just let a few escape. The ghosts in the mortal world can catch them back."
"If a lot of them are let go...it will probably cause chaos in the mortal world."
After saying that, Hei Wuchang was worried that Qin Tian would be angry, so he quickly added.
"But this kind of thing has never happened in our underworld. Please collect the debt so that you can rest assured."
The corner of King Zhou's mouth raised a strange arc.
"So that means that if a lot of people escape, the world will be in chaos?"
Hei Wuchang nodded, "That's right."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
"???"
"???"
The black and white impermanence both looked suspicious, not knowing why.
The next second, the two of them saw King Zhou slapping him with his palm.
The two people didn't react. They were hit with a palm in the chest, flew backwards, and hit the rock wall behind them with a loud bang.
"puff……"
Hei Wuchang covered his chest and looked up at King Zhou in disbelief.
"Lord debt collector, what are you doing?"
King Zhou smiled coldly and pointed his hand at the chains in the hands of those lonely ghosts.
"What are you doing? Of course you are doing a 'good thing'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Zhou gathered a zhenqi in his palm and struck at the chains of those lonely ghosts.
Bang——
The chains in the hands of all the lonely ghosts instantly turned into powder.
King Zhou looked at the lonely ghosts and said, "You are free. Now you can do whatever you want. No one will interfere with you."
Hearing this, the lonely ghosts dispersed excitedly, passed through the walls, and fled in all directions.
Without the restraints of the chains, those lonely ghosts are like wild horses that have escaped the reins and cannot be controlled at all.
"Come back, come back to me!"
Hei Wuchang shouted loudly at those lonely ghosts.
But they didn't care about Hei Wuchang, but in a blink of an eye, nearly a thousand lonely ghosts disappeared.
Bai Wuchang's face turned purple and he looked frightened, "It's over, it's over... Now we will be severely punished by the King of Hell!" King Zhou grinned, waved to them and said, "Why are you so depressed? I helped you complete your task early. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Hearing this, Hei Wuchang took a deep look at King Zhou and felt that he was very strange to him.
"Master Debt Collector, why are you doing this? If they escape, the world will be in chaos!"
"What does it have to do with me?" King Zhou spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "Okay, I won't play with you anymore. We will never see you again!"
After saying this, King Zhou had a thought, turned into a bunch of black smoke and fled away.
"What now?"
Bai Wuchang looked at Hei Wuchang helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Hei Wuchang thought for a moment with a solemn expression and said, "Let's report it to the King of Hell quickly. Tell the truth. This can reduce some of the guilt."
"You're right!" Bai Wuchang nodded in agreement. "This matter is entirely the responsibility of the debt collector. I believe that the King of Hell will not blame us."
After finishing speaking, the two of them ran towards the direction of Yama Hall.
At this time, King Zhou had returned to the ground.
When he saw many lonely souls and wild ghosts rushing towards the mortal world, he felt very satisfied.
"That should be enough."
After secretly thinking in his heart, King Zhou sent a message to the Jade Emperor's spiritual consciousness: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have already taken care of it. I have made a big fuss in the Demon Realm, Chentangguan, Bajiao Cave, Tushita Palace, and other places in the underworld."
"I believe Qin Tian's reputation must be ruined this time!"
When the Jade Emperor, who was far away in heaven, heard this, he slapped the table and stood up in excitement.
"Okay, very good, you did a very good job this time! If you can defeat Qin Tian this time, I will place you in the Immortal Class soon."
King Zhou was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will go back to Daji Cave first."
"etc……"
Just when King Zhou was about to turn around and leave, the Jade Emperor suddenly stopped him.
"What other orders does your Majesty have?"
"Since the mission has been completed, please return the Tianlong Jade Finger to me."
Hearing this, King Zhou showed a disappointed look and touched the Tianlong Jade Finger in his hand, feeling a little reluctant to part with it.
The reason why this mission can be completed so smoothly is half of the credit is due to this ring.
Not only could it hide its original aura, but it could also prevent its transformation from being discovered, so King Zhou was naturally reluctant to do so.
I originally thought that the Jade Emperor would give me this ring as a reward for completing my mission so well.
But I never thought that the Jade Emperor would take it back.
King Zhou took off the Tianlong jade finger, held it in both hands and raised it above his head.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your carelessness."
The Jade Emperor reached out and grabbed the Tianlong jade finger back into his hand. "Okay, you can go back."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After finishing the transmission, the Jade Emperor looked at the Tianlong jade finger in his palm, with a sinister smile on his lips.
"Qin Tian, just wait for the disaster to come!"
…
Huaguoshan.
At the same time, Qin Tianzheng and Sun Wukong were practicing in seclusion in the cave, purifying the black lotus petals in his consciousness.
He still knew nothing about what King Zhou had done pretending to be himself.
Under the guidance of Sun Wukong, Qin Tian could feel that the power of the black lotus petal in the sea of consciousness was slowly weakening.
When he first entered purification, he could still hear Zong Yi being helpless and furious in the sea of consciousness.
Pass by Sun Wukong
Infused with the sound of Buddha, Zong Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally, his voice could no longer be heard.
"Aqiu..."
For some reason, Qin Tian suddenly felt a chill and sneezed suddenly.
He opened his eyes, touched his nose, and whispered, "Who is thinking about me?"
At this time, Sun Wukong opened his eyes and joked, "I'm afraid the little girl from some family is missing you, right?"
Qin Tian scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Great Sage, please stop making fun of me. Let's continue."
Sun Wukong stood up and jumped off the stone platform where he was practicing.
"This first stage of purification has ended."
"It's over?" Qin Tian looked delighted, "Then has the black lotus in my body been purified?"
"It's still early. Purifying the Black Lotus doesn't happen overnight. You won't become a pig after just one bite."
Sun Wukong chuckled, patted Qin Tian's belly, and continued, "It will take a long time to completely purify the Black Lotus."
"I, Old Sun, can still help you in the front, but as for the back... you have to rely on yourself."
"Do you still remember the Buddhist scriptures that I, Old Sun, just recited?"
Qin Tian nodded, "Yes, remember!"
Sun Wukong: "Very good. From now on, just remember to recite it once every morning when you get up."
"Also, you must remember not to reveal the black lotus petals in your body, otherwise you may be in big trouble!"
Qin Tian cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "Thank you, Great Sage. I will definitely remember it, so I will go back first."
After leaving Huaguo Mountain, Qin Tian used the debt to return directly to the Wangyue Mountain Villa.
If you want to practice quietly, it's better to find a place where no one is around.
…
Thirty-third heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
In the main hall, all the immortals gathered together. Even the King of Hell, who rarely went to heaven today, came to the main hall and complained about Qin Tian's actions.
The King of Hell stood in front of the palace with his hands folded and cried to the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for the little god this time. Qin Tian, relying on his high cultivation level, injured the black and white impermanence in my underworld and released nearly a thousand fierce ghosts to disturb the mortal world."
"This move is really a violation of the power of God. Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"
After learning that Qin Tian had released more than a thousand fierce ghosts from the underworld, the King of Hell was frightened and in a dilemma, not knowing what to make.
Report it to heaven, but I'm afraid it will offend Qin Tian.
But if you don't report it, the Jade Emperor will definitely punish him severely when he finds out. I don't know how much salary he will have to deduct from the underworld.
Originally, the underworld was already very tight, and they had to rely on loans to barely pay out the salaries of the ghost servants.
If his salary is withheld again, I'm afraid he will have to pay out the salary that he cannot afford, and the underworld will once again have the same situation of not having enough ghost officers.
In the end, the King of Hell chose to report it to heaven after weighing the left and right.
After all, it was Qin Tian who caused this disaster. Reporting it to heaven can also reduce the guilt of the underworld.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he pretended to be angry, slapped the table and shouted, "This Qin Tianzhen is becoming more and more bold and reckless. He simply doesn't take my heavenly court seriously!"
"It's more than that!"
Taishang Laojun stepped forward in two steps, cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, Qin Tian even broke into my Tusita Palace without permission. Not only did he steal all my elixirs, but he also overturned my alchemy furnace, causing a fire in my Tusita Palace and destroying decades of hard work."
"What Qin Tian did this time is really too much. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to send troops to capture Qin Tian!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clairvoyant stepped forward again, cupped his hands and said, " The little god has something to say!"
"speak!"
"Today, when the little god was inspecting the Three Realms, he noticed a bloody light in the sky above Chentangguan. When he looked carefully, he discovered that it was Qin Tian who was massacring the people in Chentangguan. His methods were extremely cruel and even the old, weak, women and children were not spared."
"If Li Jing and Nezha hadn't arrived in time, Chentangguan would have been bloodbathed by Qin Tian!"
Wow——
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar with different expressions.
"I didn't expect Qin Tian to be such a person. I heard before that he was the benefactor who saved the Three Realms and the Four Seas. Now it seems that he is a bloodthirsty and cruel demon!"
"Li Tianwang and the Third Prince also misjudged and followed such a person."
"Isn't that right? This Qin Tian should have been killed a long time ago. If he stays in the world, he will be a disaster sooner or later."
Some immortals who had been favored by Qin Tian looked suspicious when they heard these words.
In their opinion, Qin Tian is not this kind of person.
If that was the case, why would he risk his life and go into the corner of the sea with Ao Bing brother and sister to get the colorful stones?
However, due to the majesty of the Jade Emperor, they did not dare to speak out to help Qin Tian.
Among them is the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
Tuoba Fuyao, who was standing behind the Queen Mother, became a little anxious, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
In her opinion, Qin Tian is not such a vicious and evil person.
But she was unable to argue for Qin Tian.
The Queen Mother also showed a suspicious look and looked at the Jade Emperor, realizing that there was definitely more to the matter than what it seemed.
"May I ask you three, are you sure these things were done by Qin Tian?"
At this moment, Yang Jian stood up and asked the King of Hell, Taibai Jinxing and Clairvoyant.
As he spoke, he glanced at the Jade Emperor out of the corner of his eye.
The Jade Emperor's face turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Yang Jian, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just want to confirm, what if someone pretends to be Qin Tian and does evil?" Yang Jian said calmly.
"Of course it was Qin Tian who did it. There is an exquisite lens above the gate of my Tushita Palace, and what is reflected is Qin Tian's figure. It cannot be false!" Taishang Laojun vowed.
Clairvoyant echoed, "My pupil power has been cultivated to an advanced level, no matter how many transformation techniques are used, there is no way for me to escape from it!"
The King of Hell smiled bitterly and said, "When the incident happened, only Black and White were present, so the little god couldn't be sure."
The Jade Emperor snorted coldly, touched the Tianlong jade finger on his thumb, looked at Yang Jian and said.
"Did you hear that? With the Supreme Laojun and the clairvoyant as witnesses, can it still be false?"
"You ask this, are you trying to offend Qin Tian?"
"No, I'm just being cautious. Since you two are sure that Qin Tian did it, I have nothing to say."
After speaking, Yang Jian took two steps back and returned to his original position without speaking.
"Your Majesty, what Qin Tian did this time is really the anger of the gods. Please, Your Majesty, severely punish this evil thief who has committed many crimes!"
Taishang Laojun raised his hands and begged again.
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor showed a bitter look on his face and pretended to be helpless and spread his hands.
"Fellow immortals, I also want to help you get justice, but I recently heard that Qin Tian is the benefactor who saved the Three Realms and the Four Seas. If I take action rashly, I am afraid I will be spurned by the Three Realms."
"Otherwise, how about you guys solve it on your own?"
As soon as these words came out, Taishang Laojun's face became particularly ugly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Jade Emperor is not worried about being spurned by the Three Realms, but because he is afraid of Qin Tian!
