Chapter 1715 King Chu Jiang and the Red-Clad Queen: A Few Matters
Blood energy permeated the air, surging forward.
A breathtakingly beautiful figure, clad in resplendent red, swept in!
Behind her, the sky was filled with powerful blood energy.
Chen Xuan recognized her as the Red-Clad Queen!
What was the Red-Clad Queen doing here?
Helping him?
But the last time they met, she had nearly killed him!
For a moment, Chen Xuan’s mind went blank.
“Hongyi? Why are you here?”
King Chu Jiang’s expression changed.
“They are my people. Release them!”
The Red-Clad Queen stated coldly.
“Hongyi, it’s not that I won’t release them. If I do, the other Yama Kings will not agree, and they are all watching.”
King Chu Jiang replied.
“Hmph! So you’re not even giving me face?”
“It’s not that I’m not giving you face, it’s that I cannot.”
“Cannot? I think all of that is just an excuse. You, like always, have always pursued strength. For the sake of strength, you can abandon everything!”
The Red-Clad Queen spoke with resounding clarity.
These words seemed to strike a nerve with King Chu Jiang.
King Chu Jiang roared, “I am not what you think! I wasn’t like that before, and I’m not like that now! I…”
Chen Xuan blinked his eyes. “Could it be that this Red-Clad Queen and King Chu Jiang have some kind of connection?”
Qin Qianqian whispered, “Legend has it that the Red-Clad Queen was the woman King Chu Jiang loved when he was alive. King Chu Jiang was an emperor, and the Red-Clad Queen was just an ordinary woman.”
“King Chu Jiang was out adventuring and happened to save the Red-Clad Queen. The two of them got together. It is said they even had a child, but King Chu Jiang abandoned the Red-Clad Queen to inherit the throne.”
“The Red-Clad Queen died of depression, and due to her immense resentment, she transformed into the Red-Clad Queen. Later, King Chu Jiang became one of the Ten Yama Kings, and the Red-Clad Queen became the renowned Red-Clad Queen of the underworld. The Red-Clad Queen is also a formidable expert at the Yama King level.”
“At that time, it was rumored that the Red-Clad Queen was supported by King Chu Jiang, which is how she acquired her own territory. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“However, it seems like we’re in for a good show,” Chen Xuan remarked.
“Brother Chen Xuan, why is the Red-Clad Queen helping us?” Qin Qianqian asked with a frown.
Chen Xuan shook his head. “I don’t know either.”
“You heartless man, you’re deceiving me again! I’m going to kill you!”
The Red-Clad Queen soared into the sky.
Her long black hair, like vines, grew wildly, surging towards King Chu Jiang!!
King Chu Jiang’s imposing figure raised his fist and smashed down with a roar.
The two became entangled, but it was clear that King Chu Jiang was holding back due to guilt.
“You all leave quickly! I’ll hold off King Chu Jiang!”
The Red-Clad Queen’s voice echoed.
“Then thank you!”
Chen Xuan didn’t say anything more, offered a word of thanks, and turned to leave with his companions.
“Cui’er, you’ve gone too far! You’ll ruin everything by doing this!”
King Chu Jiang roared as he watched Chen Xuan and the others escape.
He turned to pursue them, but the Red-Clad Queen said, “Go ahead and chase if you want. If you don’t want to save our son, then go chase!”
“Son…?”
King Chu Jiang was stunned. His massive form halted abruptly.
He looked at the Red-Clad Queen. “What does our son have to do with them? Our son has already fallen into the Wheel of Reincarnation Hell, and cannot be saved!”
“No, someone can save him!”
“Who?”
“Chen Jianhua!”
“Him?”
King Chu Jiang spoke, “Just Chen Jianhua might not be enough. But if the Chen family’s ancestor can help, perhaps it’s possible.”
“If it weren’t for this, why would I be helping them so much?”
The Red-Clad Queen said in a deep voice.
King Chu Jiang and the Red-Clad Queen had a son. However, that son was lured away by a minor ghost and arrived in the underworld. The Red-Clad Queen also died of depression and came to the underworld. She searched for her son’s whereabouts all along, and to save him, she strengthened herself, transforming into the Red-Clad Queen.
However, even after becoming the Red-Clad Queen, she was still unable to save her son, because their son had entered the Wheel of Reincarnation Hell. This Wheel of Reincarnation Hell was different from the Eighteen Levels of Hell; it was not managed by the Ten Yama Kings but by the Heavenly Dao.
For this reason, over countless years, she desperately sought a method, but found none.
Not long ago, Chen Jianhua found her and promised to help her rescue her son from the Wheel of Reincarnation Hell.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let them off the hook. However, once they leave my jurisdiction, they might not be able to evade the pursuit and interception of the other Yama Kings!” King Chu Jiang said gravely.
“I will protect them!”
The Red-Clad Queen turned to leave.
“Wait!”
King Chu Jiang suddenly called out.
“Is there anything else?” the Red-Clad Queen asked with a frown.
King Chu Jiang knelt down, raised his huge arm, and extended his hand. On his palm lay a bronze token: “Take this. It will be useful to you.”
“Yama Token? You’re giving this to me?”
The Red-Clad Queen was surprised.
The Yama Token was the Heavenly Dao’s recognition of experts at the Yama King level.
Reaching the Yama King level did not guarantee receiving a Yama Token, but if one obtained a Yama Token, it meant they had reached the Yama King level and would possess a domain where they could suppress the opponent’s combat power.
If they could hold the Yama Token, they could avoid being suppressed when facing other Yama Kings.
This was undoubtedly the best form of assistance!
“I’m giving it to you, for your safety, and for our son’s sake,” King Chu Jiang said with a deep voice.
“Don’t try to make me thank you. This is what you should do. If it weren’t for you back then, our son would not have fallen into the Wheel of Reincarnation Hell!”
The Red-Clad Queen did not stand on ceremony, took the Yama Token, and turned to leave.
“I’ll wait for you to return.”
King Chu Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the departing Red-Clad Queen. His expression appeared somewhat desolate, as if he were standing on the walls of Haojing.
The Red-Clad Queen soon caught up with Chen Xuan and the others.
“Red-Clad Queen, why are you helping us?”
Chen Xuan still maintained a certain distance from the Red-Clad Queen.
One must guard against others, especially when dealing with a ghost.
“Because your father. Your father can help me. As an exchange, I naturally must protect your safety,” the Red-Clad Queen said in a deep voice.
“My father? You’ve met my father? Is he alright?”
Chen Xuan asked urgently.
Hearing news of Chen Jianhua again, he was very pleased.
“He’s doing very well, of course. It’s just that your father has become a zombie, but this is not much for your father,” the Red-Clad Queen said.
As expected, his father had become a zombie to survive!
Chen Xuan was not surprised at all.
Although zombies were also dead, they still had their physical bodies. The Heavenly Dao’s curse also lost its effect. It could be said that they had evaded the Heavenly Dao in a different way.
“Why isn’t my father coming?” Chen Xuan asked quickly.
The Red-Clad Queen replied, “Your father has gone to deal with other Yama Kings, to reduce the pressure on you all.”
Chen Xuan exclaimed, “That’s shameless! Ten Kings, one against ten! Will my father be very dangerous?”
“Your father will be very dangerous, but your father is strong enough,” the Red-Clad Queen rolled her eyes.
Isn’t your father strong enough?
