Chapter 260: Chapter 192: Lord Cui, Negotiating with the Underworld !_2

So he kowtowed several times, saying, “Judge, I am here on behalf of Master Xu, a disciple of Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji from the mortal world, to see you.”

“Oh?”

Just a few days ago, he helped Xu Yang return to the mortal world, so Judge Cui naturally had a deep impression of him. Immediately, he asked curiously, “Xu Yang? What does he need from me?”

Wang Ergou hurriedly stood up, reached into his chest, and pulled out a miniature submachine gun, saying, “Last night, Master Xu burned a letter to me, asking me to give this to you, saying that he has important matters to discuss with you and that he would like you to see him.”

“He wants me to see him?”

Judge Cui was taken aback and laughed, “Even if it was Heavenly Master Xu himself, he wouldn’t have that much face… What is this thing?”

He was from the Tang Dynasty and naturally didn’t recognize a submachine gun.

Wang Ergou hurried to explain, “Sir, this is a machine gun, a weapon of the mortal world… that’s right, there are also two more machine guns, a sniper rifle… and a rocket launcher.”

He took out all the weapons that Xu Yang had burned down.

Judge Cui stepped down from his high seat, came to Wang Ergou, and asked with great puzzlement, “What is Xu Yang doing, burning down some mortal weapons? How is this rocket launcher…supposed to be used?”

Wang Ergou cautiously said, “Sir, this is a rocket launcher. When using it, you need to load a shell, then shoulder it, aim at the target, and pull the trigger.” Judge Cui picked up the rocket launcher and asked, “Where’s the shell?” “Master Xu didn’t burn down the shells… However, after this weapon enters the Underworld Palace, it seems to undergo a certain change, and it can be used without ammunition. All you need is to input your own power to condense into a shell.”

Judge Cui input a wisp of power.

And then pulled the trigger!

Bang!

A shell exploded directly under the feet of one of his underworld soldiers.

The underworld soldier was blown to smithereens and took a good while to reassemble his form. Judge Cui frowned, “This thing is so weak? My power alone is enough to kill all the underworld soldiers in this hall, but after going through this rocket launcher, it can’t even kill one?”

Wang Ergou hurriedly said, “Sir, your power is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut when used on this… but what if an ordinary underworld soldier were to wield this rocket launcher?”

Judge Cui’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “You try it!”

Wang Ergou first tried the rocket launcher, then tried several submachine guns. The destructive power displayed was exactly the same as that of Judge Cui. Judge Cui was delighted, saying, “With such weapons, the combat power of our underworld soldiers at the bottom will be greatly enhanced!”

“Wang Ergou, you did a good job!”

“From now on, you don’t need to go back to the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws. Stay by my side, and be my secretary.”

“Moreover, no one shall disclose today’s affairs!”

Judge Cui immediately promoted Wang Ergou and walked through a small door on the side of the hall. Inside was a quiet chamber… At present, the Yin-Yang path had not been reopened, and it was indeed difficult to get from the Underworld Palace to the mortal world. However, as the chief judge of the Underworld Palace, this was hardly a problem for Lord Cui.

Besides, it was just to meet with Xu Yang and talk about something, and there was no need for his real body to go to the mortal world.

“Fortunately, I left a trick last time when I sent Xu Yang back to the mortal world… Using a secret method, I can directly appear by his side.”

Judge Cui muttered to himself, sat cross-legged, and started using the secret method!

Wu City.

Inside the haunted house.

Feeling the sudden surge of power on his body, Xu Yang’s face changed slightly!

The owner of the haunted house turned pale!

She stood up abruptly, the cat that was on her lap meowed and jumped away. The woman felt the power and gritted her teeth, “Lord Cui… Xu Yang, and you said you don’t know anyone from the Underworld Palace?”

“I…”

Xu Yang was dumbfounded.

I know a Der… and who the hell is this Lord Cui?

Xu Yang suddenly remembered the task he had given Wang Ergou and said, “Elder sister, please don’t misunderstand, this is just a coincidence!”

The woman glared at Xu Yang fiercely and stood up to leave.

However, the next moment…

Buzz!

That power had already arrived and took the shape of “Lord Cui” beside Xu Yang.

Xu Yang hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings, Judge.”

On the side, the woman gritted her teeth, knowing it was too late to escape. She immediately followed Xu Yang’s example, politely paying her respects, saying, “Greetings, Judge.”

Lord Cui glanced at Xu Yang, and his gaze finally landed on the woman. Although he had only incarnated a strand of his “avatar,” the aura around him was still palpably overwhelming.

Raising an eyebrow, Lord Cui asked, “Are you an Underworld Being?”

The woman nodded.

“Hmph!”

Lord Cui snorted coldly and said, “So, you sneaked over here? You’ve got some guts, sneaking across from the Underworld Palace, and you still dare to stay here after seeing me?”

Thump!

The woman immediately knelt down and pleaded, “Please calm your anger, Judge. It’s not that I have the audacity, but when I sensed your arrival, sir, I knew I couldn’t run away.”

She sobbed and wiped her tears, saying, “Please have mercy, sir. I didn’t deliberately break the Underworld Palace law by sneaking into the mortal world… I was just cultivating by the Netherworld River when suddenly a peculiar force descended. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the mortal world.”

Lord Cui coldly said, “In that case, why didn’t you return to the Underworld? With your strength, it wouldn’t be too difficult to go back.”

The woman lowered her head, her eyes darting about, and abruptly grabbed Xu Yang’s arm, crying, “I have thought about going back… but during my time in the mortal world, I’ve come to love Xu Yang. I love him more than my own life… I beg you to show mercy, Judge. Otherwise, I would rather die than leave Xu Yang.”

Xu Yang: ”     ”

What the hell?!

Are you an Oscar-winning actress?

Would that even work?

Xu Yang felt the jade hand gripping him, twisting his arm hard. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Yes, Judge. She loves me, and if you want to take her away, you’ll have to kill her first… otherwise, she won’t leave me.”

Lord Cui’s gaze swept back and forth between Xu Yang and the ghost house owner.

He felt that something was off.

But since this woman was somehow connected to Xu Yang, giving him face shouldn’t be a problem.

She was an Underworld Being not under the jurisdiction of the Underworld Palace. The fact that she dared to sneak into the mortal world and managed to arrive alive was her own good fortune.

After glancing at the woman, Lord Cui said, “Fine, for Xu Yang’s sake, I won’t hold it against you. You go out first; I have important matters to discuss with Xu Yang.”

The woman was overjoyed.

Although she knew her poor acting couldn’t deceive Lord Cui, her purpose was to establish a connection with Xu Yang!

Although she didn’t know how Xu Yang came to know such a big figure like Lord Cui, since Lord Cui took the trouble to incarnate and visit Xu Yang, it showed their relationship was extraordinary!

With a grateful look towards Xu Yang, she immediately picked up her cat and respectfully left the room.

Lord Cui didn’t waste any words. He got straight to the point and asked, “Xu Yang, how many weapons can you obtain?”

Xu Yang smiled faintly, “As many as you want.”

Lord Cui continued, “Are there more powerful weapons?”

“Of course.”

Xu Yang said, “The development of mortal technology has been rapid over the past few decades. With the power of current mortal weapons, even ordinary people can slay Immortal Beings.”

“Ordinary people slay Immortal Beings?”

Lord Cui laughed heartily and said, “Xu Yang, do you know what an Immortal is? Immortal Beings are those who have leaped out of the three realms and are not restricted by the Five Elements. Even the Book of Life and Death cannot control the destiny of Immortal Beings. Ordinary people slaying Immortal Beings… wishful thinking.”

Xu Yang furrowed his brow.

He knew that Lord Cui might be telling the truth, but he couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable.

After all, he was just an ordinary person.

Lord Cui then said, “Xu Yang, there are actually wars in our Underworld Palace as well. If we have a large number of technological weapons, we can greatly enhance the combat capabilities of our basic Underworld soldiers… I hope you can provide us with more mortal technological weapons.”

He paused and continued, “Of course, in return, we can pay you an equivalent amount of gold, silver, and treasures.”

Xu Yang shook his head, saying, “Judge, I don’t need gold, silver, or treasures, but I have a few conditions… If you can fulfill them, I will provide you with as many weapons as you want!”
