Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1712: 1675: Insatiable Greed
Capítulo 1712: Chapter 1675: Insatiable Greed
In front of Xiao Yi and the others.
A giant cauldron of oil stood there, with thousands of blue-faced demons carrying in dry bones one after another.
The dry bones were thrown into the cauldron.
The blazing flames consumed them.
The dark green fire was particularly eerie.
Inside the cauldron, the grease was boiled by emerald flames, with large bubbles emerging on the surface, then bursting explosively.
The flying oil splattered everywhere.
Anyone touched by the flying oil felt a scorching pain on their skin, a searing agony as if their soul was being burned.
The blue-faced demon looked at them.
His face devoid of expression, he said calmly, “In this trial, you must endure being tempered in the oil cauldron for forty-nine days. Only after being tempered for forty-nine days, without a single inch of skin being scorched, can you pass successfully!”
This was also the ninth layer, the Oil Cauldron Hell trial, a place that delayed many powerful individuals from advancing.
Being cooked in the oil cauldron for forty-nine days.
Not a day less!
For the likes of Xiao Yi and his group’s strength, enduring the oil cauldron posed no problem.
However…
Xiao Yi was not willing to waste forty-nine days.
Xiao Yi looked at the blue-faced demon and said, “Is there any way to pass quickly?”
Before he entered the eighteen layers of hell, someone had already reached the tenth layer.
Now the opponent was likely getting closer and closer to the eighteenth layer.
Xiao Yi didn’t want to waste another second.
The blue-faced demon looked at Xiao Yi, remaining silent.
Xiao Yi flipped his hand.
A hundred boundary stones fell into his grip, which he discreetly handed to the blue-faced demon.
The blue-faced demon, stern-faced, righteously scolded, “Are you trying to bribe this ghost servant?”
Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, “I just see that you ghost servants have worked diligently for countless ages, trapped here, and it’s truly hard work. Moreover, each ghost servant has been meticulously chosen by the Emperor of Fengdu, heroes among ghosts, how could they accept bribes? I just want to make some friends out of admiration!”
Speak as a human to humans, as a ghost to ghosts.
These years of mingling among various circles, Xiao Yi naturally understood these kinds of principles.
After all.
Hell is easy to fool, little devils are hard to deal with.
If just a few harmless words could resolve the matter, why not?
Of course.
The prerequisite is that the other party isn’t too excessive.
If they are too greedy, Xiao Yi would simply cut through with force!
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the blue-faced demon smiled brightly and nodded, saying, “Good, very good, I shall recognize you as my brother.” After a pause, he lowered his voice, saying, “Actually, if you want to pass quickly, there is another way. That is to become the Lord of this hell layer, then you can directly head to the next hell layer to challenge the next Lord. But the Lord’s strength is very strong, and this rule has never been disclosed, so…”
Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up.
If he could solve it with fists, why go through the trials obediently?
But…
The blue-faced demon also said, “However, this is a last resort because the eighteen Lords in the eighteen hell factions are all acquainted. If you challenge one, it means offending the other seventeen, leading to even more trouble.”
Xiao Yi nodded. This would serve as a last-resort choice, and he said solemnly, “Then for this trial…”
“Give me a wisp of divine sense clone!” the blue-faced demon demanded.
Xiao Yi responded.
He glanced at Zeng Sheng and the others behind him.
The blue-faced demon indifferently added, “Give me theirs too!”
He could take charge of this trial.
“Thank you!”
Everyone hastily offered their divine sense clones.
The clones were thrown into the oil cauldron, enduring forty-nine days of tempering.
The true selves, on the other hand, followed the blue-faced demon into the next layer of hell.
The tenth layer, Cow Pit Hell!
This layer is for avenging animals.
Those who recklessly slaughter livestock, building joy on their pain in life.
Will be sentenced to the Cow Pit Hell after death.
Thrown into the pit, countless wild oxen rush in, striking with horns, trampling with hooves…
Upon entering this hell.
One sees countless large pits on the ground. In each, there are countless souls, behind which an endless herd of wild oxen run.
If they fail to escape,
they are trampled and crushed by the wild oxen herd.
Some are trampled by tens of thousands of oxen, shattered, but soon their forms reassemble, only to face the wild oxen’s charge again.
One must know…
In this world.
The battles among the strong often result in widespread destruction.
Often after a great war…
It’s not just animals.
Even among humans, there are countless casualties.
As soon as Xiao Yi’s group entered, they were surrounded by a horde of blue-faced demons, each expressionless, holding large chains.
The chains dragged on the ground, making clattering noises.
Starting from this layer.
The blue-faced demons no longer presided over punishments but became Yakshas.
Yakshas, with blue faces and sharp teeth, towering a hundred meters, each burly and extraordinary, staring coldly at Xiao Yi’s group: “You all carry a murderous air, having committed countless sins in life, and should be sentenced to millions of years in Cow Pit Hell. Men, throw them into Cow Pit Hell…”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, the blue-faced demons swung their chains, creating gusts of wind.
Seeing that they were about to bind them all.
Wolf Fang quickly stepped forward, flying up to the Yaksha, saying, “Brother Yaksha, please wait!”
“Hmm?”
The Yaksha squinted, scrutinizing Wolf Fang.
Wolf Fang pulled out a storage ring, handing it to the Yaksha, whispering, “Brother Yaksha, you work hard in this dark and dreary hell. This is a little token of appreciation from your brother, to console you, Brother Yaksha!”
“Oh? You are quite sensible!”
The Yaksha glanced inside the storage ring, a look of greed appearing on his face.
Wolf Fang winked at Xiao Yi, as if to say, “Saint Heir, didn’t I do well?”
He learned this from Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, seeing Wolf Fang learn and apply instantly.
However.
If they could pass smoothly, sacrificing some treasures would be worth it.
Yet…
The Yaksha’s greedy gaze fell upon Xiao Yi and the others, saying, “If you want to pass this Cow Pit Hell smoothly, this little bit isn’t enough!”
Xiao Yi felt slightly displeased.
What Wolf Fang offered was not few, worth no less than a hundred boundary stones.
Could the Yaksha still not be satisfied?
Lei Peng also took out a storage ring filled with treasures given by Xiao Yi, also worth no less than a hundred boundary stones: “I wonder if adding mine is enough?”
However…
The Yaksha still shook his head.
Until Xiao Yi, Zeng Sheng, and Zeng Qing each offered their own share.
In the end…
The Yaksha collected the storage rings, coldly saying, “Such generosity with just one move; it means you must have more treasures. Leave all your treasures, and this Yaksha can consider reducing some of your punishment time; otherwise, you will remain in this Cow Pit Hell forever!”
Looking at the greedy Yaksha.
Xiao Yi exhaled deeply, “Can’t you take what you’re given and be happy? Must you be so greedy…Since you don’t appreciate gentle means, don’t blame me…”
