Even more astonishing.
"How audacious!" After a while, two words laden with slight anger emanated from the judge statue. One could hear the fury in that voice that anyone could perceive.
All present, save for Fan Wu, were startled, each one quickly shrinking their necks.
Fearing they had enraged the judge.
They did not understand why this Underworld Judge was so angry, such that the madman who had executed the God of the Earth from Guyuan County had merely spoken a few words to him.
Then the judge became wrathful.
The strange thing, though... seemed that the Underworld Judge’s fury... was not directed at the madman.
But rather at something else.
The voice of the Underworld Judge continued to ring out, "A mere rural Evil God, daring to taint the authority of a true god! Daring to recklessly use power, to pollute and bewitch a God of the Earth! Truly audacious!!"
It was seen.
From within the Earth Deity corpse, some strange entity seemed to be peeled away. It appeared to be a cluster of gray mist, within which one could vaguely see blurred facial features.
"Hmph!!" With an angry snort from the Underworld Judge, another hand of the statue, the one holding the judge’s brush, swept across the mist.
Bang!
The mist, much like a balloon, was directly obliterated by his stroke and exploded into nothingness, vanishing without a trace.
"Quite good at hiding." The Underworld Judge spoke, "This beast, I know not where he hides, that rural Evil God... must be hiding far from this place such that I cannot discern Its traces."
"Should It appear within two hundred li of me, I would surely pinpoint Its location. What a pity... Only a creature as timid as a mouse would dare to cause trouble from afar."
From His words, one could tell He hadn’t found the exact location of the Witch Immortal.
It could also be gathered that He had confirmed the God of the Earth slain by Fan Wu had been corrupted and beguiled by a wicked rural Evil God.
It was like an official within an agency was won over by someone else.
So, having confirmed the truth of the matter thoroughly, indeed as Fan Wu had claimed...
The Underworld Judge, while sympathetic to the plight of this God of the Earth,
would not blame Fan Wu because of it.
After a pause, He said, "A true god’s corpse, should it fall into the mortal realm, might be misused by those with deceitful intentions, possibly bringing untold disasters upon the mortals."
The statue of the judge looked at Fan Wu, "You summoned me here, perhaps you had this in mind as well?"
"Half and half," answered Fan Wu.
"I see." Realizing this, the judge continued, "Although in this matter, you bear no guilt. Yet, rashly executing a true god has unnecessarily increased your burden of sin. This kind of sin is different from that of slaughtering the common Demons and Devils or humans. This sin will be seen by every true god."
"They might not know the reasons behind your actions, that you’ve stained your hands with the life of a true god. Therefore, this trace of sin lingering on you is nothing but harmful to you. Some of the uninformed true gods might view you as an enemy."
As He spoke to this point, the Underworld Judge sighed, "To think that I, the Judge, have known you but seven days, and yet I have already had to intervene on your behalf twice, Daoist Priest Fan of Qiulong Temple."
With that said.
The mouth of the Underworld Judge statue slowly opened and then gently breathed out towards Fan Wu.
Fan Wu felt a pleasant breeze brush against his face, as if his whole being relaxed even more than it had been before, feeling massaged all over, filled with a sense of comfort.
"You have executed a true god, the unique sin that remains has already been largely extinguished by my breath. But I, as an Underworld Judge, have limited powers and cannot completely erase it," said the Underworld Judge. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"There will still be some aura on you, somewhat uncomfortable for other true gods. But with my breath, they won’t be able to discern so quickly that you’ve slain a god."
Fan Wu understood what the other meant, which was that after killing a true god, he had automatically been blacklisted.
With the breath of the Underworld Judge, he became a semi-blacklisted member.
Meaning that other true gods encountering him, Daoist Priest Fan, would sense something slightly amiss with him.
But to see what he actually did.
They couldn’t find out right away.
"Do not engage in such actions again," the Underworld Judge said earnestly, "Should you slay another true god, I fear even I... won’t be able to help you much."
The meaning behind these words was even more terrifying.
It meant that the Underworld Judge believed Fan Wu was capable of executing another true god! He essentially treated Fan Wu as an existence on par with a true god!
"Even if... you encounter another minor deity beguiled by an Evil God from the countryside," the Underworld Judge added, "do not rashly execute them. It’s best to merely injure them severely. Then, take the misled minor deity to a nearby Taoist Temple or temple that worships a true god."
"When the time comes, the great immortals will decide the fate of those minor deities. Not you, a mere mortal, presuming to determine the life and death of a true god. That would be far too presumptuous."
