"Then let the feast begin!"
Almost at the same time as the figure in the magnificent robes at the entrance of the North Hall spoke these words...
As if in response to his words, the same scene appeared in the East, West, and South Yama Halls.
"Bang!"
A ghost messenger from the North Hall was brought to the Yama Hall for questioning for crossing the boundary.
But in the next moment, the ghost messenger exploded without warning.
This explosion did not harm the Yama Kings in any way, but the sound was like a signal.
The signal for the feast to begin!
Instantly.
Various sealed locations in the human world were opened, some on mountains, some in desolate areas, some in forests...
Heaven-piercing ghost qi surged out from the depths below.
The evil spirits, sealed for hundreds or even thousands of years, roared and returned to the human world.
The clear sky was immediately covered by dense ghost qi, which continued to spread outwards.
The light on the ground quickly dimmed, and office workers couldn't help but turn on indoor lights.
The noisy wind made the curtains and doors and windows creak.
...
Eastern Territory.
"I'm finally out, hahahahaha..."
"Human world, I'm back!"
A group of evil spirits, with resentment accumulated over years, were preparing to cause havoc today.
After all, the place of sealing was not a comfortable place for ghosts.
However, before they could rush towards human settlements, another powerful wave of ghost qi rapidly rose from nearby.
It directly clashed with the evil spirits at the seal exit.
"What's going on?"
The evil spirits looked at the ghost messengers emerging from not far away, somewhat bewildered.
The aura of these ghost messengers was clearly that of first-class ghost messengers from the Underworld!
Don't think they didn't know just because they were sealed!
What was going on? Weren't they released to cause a great disturbance? Why did this situation seem a bit off?
"Tsk, it seems the Underworld had already detected those guys' actions," the evil spirits pouted.
Since some time ago, there were always some guys quietly coming to the sealed areas, injecting ghost qi into them to help break the seals.
They thought they would catch the Underworld off guard.
However, even so, they had no intention of surrendering.
Whether they could break through depended on their own abilities.
It was still uncertain who would win or lose!
Whoever wanted to go to that ghost place of sealing could go.
The moment the evil spirits rushed towards the ghost messengers, the first-class ghost messengers also took out their ghost weapons.
There were spears entwined with fierce beasts, thorny whips with sharp spikes, and great sabers emitting a cold glow...
One slash could cut through the very air!
...
In the East Yama Hall.
Yan Luo stood up and went to the place where the North Hall ghost messenger had exploded to take a look.
After the ghost messenger exploded, only scattered pieces of paper remained.
Among them, the largest piece of paper was as big as a palm, with the seal of the North Hall imprinted on it.
It was well-known to the high-ranking officials of the Underworld.
The North Hall excelled in musical instruments and paper effigy arts, the West Hall was skilled in using ghost weapons, the South Hall was proficient in various techniques and cultivation methods, and the East Hall specialized in sealing.
Yan Luo looked at the torn paper and frowned, "What is that madman up to again?"
However, at that moment, her expression suddenly changed.
After several seals were broken, several more seals were opened...
She had instructed the first-class ghost messengers to guard against the sealing of evil spirits, but she did not expect even those special seals to be opened.
...
In the South Yama Hall.
"My King, the special sealed location has also been opened."
The tall and burly Zhong Kui stood below, reporting the situation he had just investigated.
The special sealed location was where a part of the hellish monsters had been sealed tens of thousands of years ago!
When the wickedness of monsters accumulated to a certain extent, it was difficult to eliminate them completely.
At that time, there was no legend of a High God clearing hell.
In this world, very few "people" knew the locations of the hellish monsters' seals and how to break them.
Who revealed the information? And why?
This was also one of the reasons for Yan Luo's drastic change in expression.
If it were the North Hall Yama King, he indeed had the ability, but why would she do this?!
After all, the seals on those hellish monsters were orders executed when that adult was still around!
And that madman, the North Hall Yama King, would never betray that adult!
In the South Hall, Zhong Kui cupped his hands and said, "Zhong Kui requests to be dispatched!"
Despite the various situations arising and the human world about to fall into chaos,
his expression was not panicked at all, and he even seemed eager.
The weapons behind him were also humming, eager for a battle!
—
The South Hall Yama King, with talent and destiny so strong that even Yan Luo envied him like a monstrous prodigy.
Most importantly, not only was the Yama King here strong, but even the ghost messengers below were stronger than the last.
It was like a gathering place for geniuses.
The single combat strength of the entire South Hall could be said to be the strongest among the four Yama Halls.
Above the Yama Hall, Nan Ming opened his eyes, "Another seal has also been opened."
However, that seal was likely specifically targeting him.
He accepted this challenge!
Those who could know about this sealed location had some skill.
Nan Ming stood up and flew towards the outside of the hall.
The torn paper with the North Hall seal imprinted on it spun twice in the air and turned into ashes.
"Permission granted for Zhong Kui to be dispatched, and to lead all departments in clearing the sealed locations!"
Nan Ming's voice came from afar, but his figure had already disappeared from the Underworld.
"Yes!" Zhong Kui responded.
The weapons behind him couldn't help but fly out, ready to fight alongside their master!
To burn their lives for their master, to break through thorns, until the last moment of their lives.
For these weapons, this was the highest honor!
...
"The West Hall has also set out..."
In the North Yama Hall, the figure in the magnificent robes was in the air, walking upwards step by step as if treading on stairs.
Behind him, countless ghost qi were converging towards him from all over the world.
With almost every step he took, his strength grew stronger.
At this moment, there were four mirrors condensed from ghost qi in front of him.
The scenes displayed on them were precisely what was happening in the East, West, and South territories.
"Do you think they will like this gift?" he asked.
The seals of various evil spirits, and the hellish ghosts sealed tens of thousands of years ago...
These were merely to create some chaos in the human world and the Underworld, which were perfect as a prelude to the feast.
The gift he mentioned was for the three Yama Kings.
It was something that the three Yama Kings had once found most unforgettable and most unacceptable...
Something that had long been deliberately forgotten by all the Yama Kings.
"Yes, as long as it's from you, they will like it," the North Hall Yama King replied.
Her figure was slender, her face was snow-white, and even her lips were white. Her delicate features revealed a sickly aura.
She seemed as if she could collapse at any moment.
But the fervor in her eyes seemed capable of burning away everything.
She looked up at the figure who was constantly growing stronger.
It seemed that if he were given a little more time, he could return to his former position.
At that time, she would be able to see that figure again...
Bei Xue touched the suona by her side.
The suona looked a bit old, but it was well-maintained, with its edges reflecting light.
As long as she could see him again, as long as she could see him again...
"Oh?"
At this moment, the magnificently dressed figure walking upwards paused and looked at the mirror belonging to the South Hall.
