"Huh... another cow?!"
The voice seemed to carry a hint of confusion, and it was this very voice that roused Yun Jiuqing from her daze.
She shuddered violently.
Her face was stricken with shock!
For she realized that the scenes that had flashed through her mind just moments before must have been the work of this Underworld Judge before her! A single glance from him and he had seen all the evil deeds she had done in her past, both great and small.
Such a method.
Beyond imagination!
"Hey!" Suddenly, an extremely gloomy voice rang out from beside Yun Jiuqing: "You, the mortal who dares to trespass into the Netherworld, are you deaf to the Underworld Judge’s voice? The Judge is asking you a question, aren’t you going to answer truthfully?!"
Yun Jiuqing turned in astonishment to discover that she had been surrounded by a group of imposing Yin Envoys without her knowledge!
Each Yin Envoy was at least ten feet tall, their tall and slender figures imposing and oppressing.
Each Yin Envoy exuded a strange aura.
They were all holding tattered paper umbrellas, and in their other hands, some held Soul-hooking Chains, some carried Mourning Sticks, and others grasped large iron forks.
The pressure they exerted on Yun Jiuqing grew even more intense.
She quickly recalled the booming voice that had sounded like a bell toll and the words that had been said, then she hurriedly answered, "Re... replying to the Underworld Judge. We entered the Netherworld through a crack that was broken open by the minions of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls."
"A crack?" The Judge’s voice carried a hint of contemplation, as if he were probing for something... after a breath’s time.
His voice rose again, "So an evil ghost dared to break the barrier between the Underworld and the mortal realm? And even created a crack in that connection? There are even evil ghosts who dare to call themselves the Ghost King of the Ten Halls?"
"The Ten Halls? Good gracious! This creature... has some nerve! Utterly audacious!!!"
The voice conveyed anger.
Even though that anger wasn’t directed at Yun Jiuqing, she still felt a chill of terror. She was sweating so profusely that it was about to form a layer of frost that could envelop her entire body.
After all, this Underworld Judge... was a divine being of the Netherworld!
Even if it were just a Yin Envoy standing before Yun Jiuqing.
She would feel an immense pressure.
Let alone a Judge.
Although it seemed that the Judge was not present in person but rather as an idol positioned there.
But Yun Jiuqing was still panicked!
Who wouldn’t be panicked in her situation?
She felt it was already commendable that she could stand and not kneel at this moment.
"Just now... what was the commotion that came from here?" The Judge’s voice sounded once again: "The presence of an evil ghost was detected here, what was that about? The sudden cessation of the evil ghost’s aura, what was that about?"
The repeated phrase "what was that about" was clearly an interrogation, aimed at Yun Jiuqing, the mortal who had "mistakenly intruded" into the Netherworld.
Yun Jiuqing answered truthfully, "Just now... the commotion here was caused by a spiritual confrontation between Daoist Priest Fan and the Ghost King of the Ten Halls. But! Daoist Priest Fan is no evildoer, he is upholding justice on behalf of Heaven, to vanquish that vicious Ghost King of the Ten Halls!"
"The presence of an evil ghost just now might also be because of this reason... The aura disappearing mysteriously might be because the Ghost King of the Ten Halls has been dealt with by Daoist Priest Fan."
"Cough cough... probably for this reason?!"
Even Yun Jiuqing herself was somewhat uncertain about the truthfulness of her own words.
After all...
She was nothing but a spectator, with no chance to intervene in the fight between Daoist Priest Fan and the Ghost King of the Ten Halls.
Not to mention getting involved.
She didn’t even dare get close!
The one time she had mustered the courage to look up, she was knocked away by a flying piece of debris from the Ghost King... She still felt a dull ache in her ribs now.
"Daoist Priest Fan? Taoist?" The Judge idol murmured these words: "It seems... somehow familiar."
"Eh? Daoist Priest Fan... Fan? Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple?"
When the Underworld Judge idol articulated both the name and identity of Fan Wu... Yun Jiuqing couldn’t help but widen her eyes. Could it be that this Underworld Judge actually recognized Daoist Priest Fan?
The fame of Daoist Priest Fan was not only widespread within the Prefecture but even in the Netherworld, his name was known?
At this moment.
The Judge idol seemed to perceive something, and the eyes on the face of the idol changed abruptly during a blink, with its eyeballs staring to the right.
On the right side, a figure was slowly approaching from afar.
The figure’s pace was in no rush.
It was as if he wasn’t the least bit agitated or restless, even in the presence of a massive Judge idol.
It was also a living person.
And...
The life force emanating from this person was so strong that even the Underworld Judge... found it somewhat astonishing and unbelievable. He had seen many sharp Cultivators, but such a vigorous life force was a first for him.
"That is..." The Underworld Judge took notice of the Demon-slaying Sword on Fan Wu’s back and pondered, "Indeed, it is a divine Demon-slaying Sword. It seems that this is the very Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu, whom even the City God of Yinghe Prefecture could not discern more details about."
