Even!
It could spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!
The death of a deity, such a major event was absolutely capable of rocking the entire dynasty, no less shocking than the death of a Crown Prince or an Emperor one day.
He could no longer dare to imagine what kind of impact such a major event would cause.
Once this news got out, would many cultivators think that since gods can be killed, why shouldn’t they unite to slay a god, or even a Buddha?
Especially those cultivators of nefarious paths, who might very likely imitate such behavior.
Of course, their imitation...
Could only result in their demise!
After all... among so many cultivators in the world, not every cultivator could be as terrifying as the man before their eyes.
"Amitabha..."
"Amitabha!"
...
"The Underworld Judge has appeared again!" Compared to the various misunderstandings and shocks of the others present, Yun Jiuqing was able to recognize which City God this was.
Wasn’t this the same City God that Daoist Priest Fan encountered in the Netherworld after he had slain the Ghost King of the Ten Halls?
Yun Jiuqing still remembered having exchanged some words with this City God, mostly the City God questioning her, and she... could only be forced to answer.
But even if it was a forced answer, it still counted as an interaction, no? Then it could barely qualify that they knew each other!
At least, that’s what Yun Jiuqing thought.
"He... must have been summoned by Daoist Priest Fan, right?" Yun Jiuqing remembered that the City God’s Command in Daoist Priest Fan’s hand had been specially strengthened by this Underworld Judge.
Therefore, it made sense that this City God’s Command had the ability to summon an Underworld Judge, right?
Uh... probably?
Or was it that the City God’s Command didn’t have this ability, and the Underworld Judge appeared because the barrier between the mortal world and the Underworld had been broken again by someone?
Uh...
This possibility...
Was also there!
...
And the next moment, as if a great bell had been struck, a sound that echoed in Yun Jiuqing’s memory confirmed her guess. The voice was very familiar to her; it was the Underworld Judge speaking!!
—"This judge has just repaired a breach in the barrier between the two realms, which shouldn’t have been broken for a full seven days, right? The flow of time differs between the Netherworld and the mortal realm, so in the mortal realm, it has not yet been seven days, right?"
The massive eyes of the Underworld Judge statue shifted to fall upon Fan Wu, and His voice continued to thunder, "In less than seven days, another breach has been opened. Moreover, how did you open this one?!"
After saying these words, the gaze of the Underworld Judge statue moved onto Yun Jiuqing.
He saw Yun Jiuqing’s awkward sheepish grin.
He also saw the extremely tattered scene around them, which at a glance, looked as if it had been ravaged by an earth dragon turning over a dozen times.
"Isn’t it enough for you two to have caused such a commotion in the Underworld, and now back in the mortal realm you can’t help but stir up trouble once again?"
There wasn’t a hint of reprimand in His voice.
Instead, it was somewhat akin to friendly teasing.
This showed that He recognized not just Fan Wu.
But also Yun Jiuqing.
"Huh..." Suddenly... the Underworld Judge seemed to notice something amiss. His gaze, which had been focused on Yun Jiuqing, abruptly shifted over. It was redirected towards Fan Wu, or rather, to the space at Fan Wu’s feet.
The Underworld Judge seemed to have fallen into a disturbing silence, which lasted for several breaths before His bell-like voice resounded again.
"The disturbance you’ve caused in the mortal realm... is quite substantial!"
He seemed at a loss for words and could only utter such a statement.
"Your growth has indeed exceeded my expectations," the Underworld Judge addressed Fan Wu, "Even the true form of a local Earth Deity has been struck down by you. So, have you caused a major calamity in the mortal realm and now... seek my assistance?"
"Not at all." Fan Wu slowly withdrew the Demon-slaying Sword from the corpse of the Earth Deity, and for some reason, the Demon-slaying Sword, now soaked with the blood of a righteous god, seemed to have become even sharper than before.
Fan Wu replied, "In the eyes of a poor Daoist like myself, this is not in the least a calamity. Slaying an Earth Deity who was corrupted by a village’s Evil God, shouldn’t that be considered just and proper?"
"Corrupted by a village’s Evil God..." The Underworld Judge pondered for a moment and a divine light burst forth from His eyes. The divine light enveloped the corpse of the Earth Deity below Fan Wu’s feet.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of something amiss.
"Indeed, there is something peculiar..." said the Underworld Judge, "May you move your foot so that this judge can take a closer look?"
"Certainly." Fan Wu moved aside, giving some space.
The next moment.
The colossal form of the Underworld Judge statue began to move, much to the astonishment of all onlookers. Gradually, a hand of the Judge statue slowly extended while the corpse of the Earth Deity, seemingly lifted by an invisible force, began to float towards it.
It drifted upwards onto the palm of the Judge statue.
The divine light shining from the Judge statue’s pair of eyes became even more dazzling.
