Chapter 632 - Secrets of Heaven Shall Not Be Spoken (1/2)

The ox-headed celestial being was definitely a god. It was impossible for Zhong Yue to defeat a god even if he had given his all, let alone imprisoning one!

Yet, a god like that was now trapped in his [Six Soul Banner]!

Could it be the [Six Soul Banner]? No, no, I know a few other emperor-level skills myself even my [Celestial Demon Yi] and [Worship of Gods] are emperor-level skills themselves. The [Six Soul Banner] is strong, but it won't have the ability to imprison a god in a strike…

Zhong Yue was puzzled, the [Six Soul Banner]'s power was far too strong in his hands. Even Bi and An had to cast it out together, yet he had done it on his own, and his [Six Soul Banner] was far stronger than theirs; not to mention that his cultivation base was also weaker than Bi's and An's.

In truth, this was all because of his Innate True Soul. Although he has yet to awaken the Innate True Soul, but the fact that his soul was already in the innate state has placed him at a far superior strength than the ox-headed celestial being.

Zhong Yue took out the tablet given to him and waved it in front of the ox-headed celestial being, "Recognize this?"

Terror immediately engulfed the ox-headed celestial being's heart and he knelt with his head down, "Emissary, emissary, I beg for mercy!"

Emissary? Zhong Yue startled, he thought, Seems like the tablets given to us are really valuable. I wonder how superior will this emissary be?

Qiu Jin'er took out her tablet and gave a cold sneer, "If you recognize the tablet, so you should know very well why we are here, don't you?"

The ox-headed celestial being grew even more horrified, he lowered his head down to the ground and said, "The Hell Overseers are the Hell's eyes and acts upon Hell's will. They have the power to sentence a guardian to death even without putting them on trials. Overseers, please forgive me!"

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er exchanged a look and saw the same joy in each other's eyes.

"Senior martial brother, this Hell Overseer title sounds very useful, it might be able to clear our paths in Hell and make things easier." Qiu Jin'er conversed with Zhong Yue through her psyche, she asked, "Since we are clear of what the tablets are now, there's no use for him now. Should we kill him?"

"No." Zhong Yue mulled and said, "We still need him to lead the way. He lives here and is familiar with the environment. He can save us a lot of time searching for our destination."

Qiu Jin'er nodded silently.

They does not belong to Hell's forces; although they have the tablets of Hell Overseers, they wouldn't be able to fake it through if there were any inspections. Thus, they could just let the ox-headed celestial being handle the unnecessary inspections and reduce the risks of exposing.

Most importantly, the ox-headed celestial being's life is in their hands, it was easier for them to manipulate him without any risk of betrayals.

"What is your name?" Zhong yue asked while releasing the ox-headed celestial being's soul back to his body.

The ox-headed celestial being quickly answered, "Dear emissary, I am Lan Si from the Ox-Head Celestial Race Lan Shan Clan. You can call me Little Si'er, and I am the guardian of the Bridge of Helplessness."

"Lan Shan Clan Lan Si God… Step forth and heed to my command!" Zhong Yue clasped and raised his hands up while he said with a solemn tone, "The lords of Hell have neglected their duties and the peace of Hell is no longer persisting. The higher-ups ordered us to investigate into this matter and restore Hell's long disturbed harmony. Little Si, now that you know who we are, you know what to do, do you?"

Lan Si God was terrified, he quickly laughed and said, "I know, I know! I will let this demon god back to the Bridge of Helplessness and I will make sure he is reincarnated as how the rules of Hell dictates it to be done…"

Qiu Jin'er gave a cold sneer, "How dare you! This demon god has devoured millions of innocent souls, how do you think Hell should maintain our reputation if a murderer like him be forgiven so easily? Send him to the Hell Abyss, he will never be reincarnated and shall live in torment to the last second of his life!"

Lan Si God was shocked, his body shivered in terror while he lowered his voice, "The punishment is far too severe… He has only devoured a few million of souls, that is still a crime not grave enough to send him to the Abyss…"

Even though he was already breaching the rules of Hell to devour the demon god's spirit; Lan Si God still didn't dare to touch the demon god's soul as it would quickly elevate into a critical offense if he had.

On the top of it, sentencing one's soul into the Hell Abyss was a far grimmer punishment than killing one's soul itself.

Qiu Jin'er replied frigidly, "You dare to question me?"

"No emissary, I don't mean to…" Lan Si God lowered his head.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue praised in his heart. Qiu Jin'er only wanted the demon god to be sent into the Hell Abyss so that Lan Si God would lead them directly to the Hell Abyss; there, it held captivated the prisoner Bi and An requested to be freed.

"Little Si'er, the punishment is fair and just." Zhong Yue explained, "The higher-ups are displeased by the Hell's performance lately. The lords are not upholding to their responsibilities and the guardians aren't carrying out their duties either. Not only that, but some even fraternized with those they shouldn't be in contact with and it has brought enormous disruptions to the order we have all sworn to protect. That leads to why we are here—to investigate on how severe the matter has evolved."

Lan Si God shuddered in fear, he dare not speak of any words, and could only quietly return the demon god's soul back to the spirit and chained him up.

Zhong Yue continued, "That's why he shall be punished severely, so that the others will know how serious the higher-ups are this time. Now, we've finished our discussion on the demon god, it's your turn now."

Cold sweat burst out of Lan Si God's forehead while Zhong Yue gave his usual warm, bright smile, "Although we are the Hell Overseers, we are no natives to Hell. The Hell Lords have their own factions and minions, they will not hesitate to stand in our way if they knew we are coming for them. Thus, we need a native to cover us."
