Chapter 478 Palace Master

The wooden house in Bitter Alley was completely silent.

Everyone naturally understood that Yuan Xiucheng's plan had fallen through. At the same time, he had also been exterminated in the past few days. Yuan Xiucheng had finally managed to develop such a small force in the Horizontal Imperial City.

Of course, the drunken brothel, It was only the springboard for Yuan Xiucheng to enter the Royal City. The bond of familiarity wouldn't cause much damage to Yuan Xiu's cultivation. However, exposing this brothel to the Sword Handling Pavilion was equivalent to exposing it to the Imperial Court of Horizontal Imperial City. With Li Yulin's knowledge, he would definitely be suspicious. This also laid a good foundation for Senluo Palace's plans in Great Xia.

However, this was clearly not the time to care about this matter.

Even if their Yuan cultivation failed, they also failed. The Ten Halls of Yama had gathered nine of them, but they hadn't even taken a single drop of blood essence. If the Hall Master pursued this matter, none of them here would be able to eat good fruit.

There's a way to get what you're afraid of.

Just as everyone was thinking about this, their faces turned ugly.

The wooden house suddenly darkened, and a black gas rose from the ground, condensing into a blurry figure in front of everyone.

"Hall Master!"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment before quickly regaining their senses. Everyone, including Yuan Xiucheng, knelt down on one knee and shouted towards the figure that had suddenly condensed, "Greetings, King Ksitigarbha."

"Oh." The voice let out a soft sigh as a response, and then his gaze swept across the crowd.

These normally arrogant Yama sects all lowered their heads and nodded under that gaze. It seemed that even if their gazes were just exchanging glances, it was still an unforgivable arrogance to them.

The door fell silent.

They knew very well that even they were not free from punishment for not doing a good job, so they did not dare to speak at that time.

Yuan Xiucheng frowned. He gritted his teeth and took the lead in saying, "I am not good at employing people. I have ruined the plans of all of you and delayed Lord Palace Master's plans. Please punish me, Palace Master."

Naturally, Yuan Xiucheng was not a good man and woman. He was the first to speak and fight this calamity on behalf of everyone because he knew the abilities of this King of Ksitigarbha. Although he did not personally come, what had happened in this Demon Suppressing Tower probably could not be concealed from his eyes. In the final analysis, this matter was caused by Xu Han's defection. Rather than waiting for the others to join him, it would be better to admit it straightforwardly. Perhaps there would be fewer punishments.

Although the surrounding yama didn't raise their heads, they all sneered when they heard Yuan Xiucheng's words.

The rank of this Dark Asura Hall was always strict, and merits might not necessarily be rewarded, but there was definitely a penalty for wrongdoing. This was not something that could be avoided without the Lord taking the initiative to plead guilty. However, with Yuan Xiu's words, if the Hall Master investigated them, the punishment that would fall on them would be lesser.

Just as the crowd was waiting to welcome Lord Palace Master's furious thunder, his extremely calm voice sounded.

"Gentlemen, please spare no effort. What's wrong?"

Everyone was stunned. Yuan Xiucheng said with a peculiar expression, "But in the end, we didn't get what the Hall Master entrusted us with."

"Demon Monarch's blood essence? What's the use of taking it?" The Dark Asura Palace Hall's Hall Master, who was hidden in the surging black gas and couldn't see clearly, asked.

"Naturally, it will make up for the flaws of the Half Demon and pave the way for Palace Master's next plan." Yuan Xiucheng said truthfully.

"Didn't Liu Sheng already give us the answer?" The figure in the black gas said again.

"That Xu Han is very interesting. I didn't expect that Canghai Liuliu would bring him to the Great Abyss Mountain back then and actually replace him with the Demon Lord's right arm. Hmph, this Canghai Liuliu is a strange person. Unfortunately, he died too early." The Hall Master seemed to have no intention of paying any attention to the thoughts of the crowd as he continued to speak on his own.

Everyone was stunned again when they heard this, but they soon came to their senses. The reason why Senluo Palace had taken the Demon Lord's blood essence from the beginning was to use Liu Sheng, who had already been treated as an abandoned child, for the last experiment, to see if the Demon Lord's blood essence could completely cure the hidden dangers of the Half-Demon. It was just that everyone had been busy fighting internally, thinking of fighting for the first merit in obtaining the Blood Essence, so they had ignored this matter.

Only now did they understand that the reason why Liu Sheng had returned to his original state was because he had already swallowed the Demon Lord's blood essence. What surprised them was that the Demon Lord's blood essence actually came from Xu Han's right arm. A mortal with the right arm of a Demon Monarch was unheard of. Even for these Dark Asura Hall yama, other than Yuan Xiucheng, who knew about this matter, the rest of them couldn't help but reveal peculiar expressions at that time.

Thinking of this, Yan Luo heaved a sigh of relief. Whether it was due to mishaps or luck, this result was still satisfactory to them.

"Since things are here, some things should be put on the agenda." Right at this moment, the hall master's voice sounded again, a bit more solemn than his previous low voice.

This kind of solemnity quickly spread to everyone's faces. They bowed their heads and quietly stood on the spot, waiting for a new order to be issued.

'"Three vicious swords, Xing Tian is in Great Zhou. Ran Yanluo still needs this thing to be unchangeable in Great Zhou. The evil dragon is in the new bare hands of the Mausoleum of the Sword. It is Mo Chen's disciple. If you touch him, Yu'er will definitely come to find trouble for me. Therefore, our goal is only the last Sword Prison Abyss that is still in the Mausoleum!"

'"The Sword Mausoleum has been passed down for ten thousand years. Wang Yangming has lived for a thousand years. The sword spirits in the mausoleum should not be underestimated. Everyone, from today onwards, dispatch your men and do not neglect them. When the war between the three kingdoms begins in the autumn, it will be the day for you to break through the mausoleum and seize the sword!"

"Yes!" Many yama shouted loudly at that time, and as soon as this sound fell, their bodies turned into nothingness and suddenly dispersed.

Only the hall master and Yuan Xiucheng remained in the large wooden house.

This Hall Master had always been mysterious. He would often leave after giving an order. However, he was still standing on the same spot. This surprised Yuan Xiucheng somewhat. Just as he was about to ask if the other party had any instructions, he suddenly discovered that this Hall Master was actually tilting his head and looking at the remaining projection in the room door.

Yuan Xiucheng was slightly stunned. He took a step forward and said, "Hall Master, this brat ruined many of Yama's plans and tricked me into saving Liu Sheng. He even colluded with the Sword Handling Pavilion to destroy the stronghold that I had painstakingly set up in the Horizontal Imperial City. It's truly hateful. But don't worry, Hall Master, I will definitely send someone to take his life and humiliate him with snow!"

The black shadow looked at Yuan Xiucheng, who was filled with resentment. He did not probe into the truth of what this delighted man said. He did not care. If he dared to use him, it meant that he was absolutely confident that he could control him.

Therefore, he did not go and expose all of this. Instead, he continued to stare at the scene. After a long time, he said, "No need, he has plenty of troubles. It's not your turn to worry."

Yuan Xiucheng seemed to feel something when he heard this. He turned around and saw Xu Han sitting cross-legged on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower suddenly open his eyes. Not far away, a short figure slowly walked towards Xu Han on Ke Yuan's and the others' corpses.

The short figure stood several zhang away from Xu Han. He looked at Xu Han and frowned on his clean face. He said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."
