Son of the Underworld
Chapter 508: Son of the Netherworld
"The King of Hell wants to interrogate you? What have you done wrong?"
In the Wenyuan Hall, all the past leaders frowned. Leader Zuyang said, "Is the crime a big one or a small one? If it is a big one, why not just rebel!"
The other leaders suddenly became excited and immediately came up with ideas on how to rebel and how to incite the other dead people in Fengdu. They even came up with dozens of slogans for the rebellion.
Qin Mu said quickly: "It's not a big deal, just a trivial matter, there's no need to rebel. I just snatched the souls of several people who died in the battle to stop the gods of heaven in the Shendu Mountains and brought them back to life."
All the past leaders fell silent. After a moment, Leader Hu Jun slapped his thigh and said, "Where were we talking about just now? Yes, yes, it's the flag used for rebellion! I think we should use the flag of the God of War..."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter..."
"A small matter? Snatching people from Fengdu City, is this a small matter?"
Many of the leaders turned their heads in unison, glared at them, and sneered, "The robbery at Naihe Bridge scared us to death, we thought it was Fengdu coming to kill us! This is not a small matter at all, the King of Hell will definitely kill you!"
Si Yanwei said: "If it is a small matter, we will ignore you and let the King of Hell take you over and spank you twice, and then we will let you go. But this is a major event that threatens Fengdu, and the only way out is to rebel!"
Outside the palace, the voice of the divine man Chi Xiu came, and he said impatiently: "Master Qin, if you don't come out, I will break in!"
The young ancestor suddenly asked, "Master Qin, why didn't the King of Hell interrogate you directly, but let you wander around the city instead? If you really have committed a serious crime, shouldn't you be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and strictly guarded?"
When he asked this, everyone realized that Qin Mu did not behave like a criminal at all. Instead, he went to Fengdu to visit relatives and friends and beat them up.
The young ancestor asked again, "Before the King of Hell interrogated you, did he also interrogate other people?"
Qin Mu nodded and said, "I interrogated Xing An and Wei Wu Shen. Xing An was released by him, but Wei Wu Shen was surrounded by many ghost kings for study because of his magical powers of Youdu. The King of Hell also wanted to study Wei Wu Shen's magical powers, so he let me go first."
"Then what you did was a minor offense."
The young ancestor smiled and said, "I know Xing'an, he committed a serious crime, but the King of Hell let him go. The Kui Wushen is the god of the netherworld, and his crime must be even worse. Interrogate them first, and explain that their guilt is greater than yours, and your crime is much smaller than theirs. If you follow the Chixiu deity, the King of Hell will not make things difficult for you."
Many leaders nodded and said, "You can go ahead. If the King of Hell wants to kill you, we will rob the execution ground and the reincarnation passage!"
Qin Mu felt relieved and walked out of Wenyuan Hall. The Chixiu God was standing on one leg on the head of the stone lion in front of the door, and was adjusting its feathers. When he saw him coming out, he pulled out the bird's beak from the feathers and said, "Come with me."
Qin Mu followed him and said, "Senior Chi Xiu, this time the King of Hell summons you..."
"Don't talk, you smell like a stranger."
Chi Xiu said: "I hate people who are still breathing. If you are dead, your words will be pleasant to the ears. And the King of Hell is not summoning you, but interrogating you."
They arrived in front of the Qin Palace. Qin Mu looked towards the front of the palace and saw a bunch of flesh balls still struggling and fighting. Xing An still did not give up the flesh of others, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to give up his own path.
"Even a wise man like Xing'an would find it hard to give up the benefits he has gained, and would be blinded by greed."
He couldn't help but shake his head. Xing An's indecision had cost him his life. But it was no wonder. He had spent his entire life tirelessly cutting up other people's bodies and claiming them as his own. Now asking him to give up would mean giving up his previous path and denying his entire life. It was indeed difficult for him to accept.
The more successful and determined a person is, the more difficult it is for him to change himself, change his cognition, and admit his mistakes.
"It's almost dawn!"
Suddenly, a shrill cry was heard from Fengdu City. Qin Mu hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, but saw giant beasts lying on the ridges of the palaces. The beasts looked up at the sky and shouted: "Be careful in all cities and prefectures! Daybreak is almost here!"
In Fengdu City, wandering souls were flying in the sky and running around. On the ground, many majestic gods and demons were running around and hiding in a hurry.
Qin Mu was slightly startled, and said to Chi Xiu: "Chi Xiu God, what will happen when the day breaks?"
The divine man Chi Xiu didn't care and said, "It's dawn, the sun will come out. They need to hide, otherwise the pure yang fire of the sun will burn them. This sun is different from what you see outside."
Qin Mu was wondering in his heart, when suddenly the darkness outside Fengdu quickly receded, and the foggy Youdu suddenly became extremely bright!
It was the first time he saw the situation of Fengdu at dawn. The streets that were originally bustling with gods and demons dancing wildly suddenly became deserted. All the gods and demons closed their doors and windows, the wandering souls dived into the abyss, and the giant beasts on the ridges of the temple also hid in the temple. The whole Fengdu became quiet in an instant.
Then, the white light turned into red light, and an extremely huge sun burning with blazing flames rose from the distant horizon of Fengdu. In an instant, flames rushed and attacked from the east. The billowing flames were like a flowing ocean, covering the sky and the earth, filling all the streets, and submerging all the palaces and houses.
The blazing pure yang fire engulfed the sacred cities of Fengdu, it was so scorching that the space seemed to be distorted!
Qin Mu bathed in the pure Yang fire, and saw that his body, which had turned into bones, was faintly showing flesh and blood, and meridians. He looked down and could even see the internal organs in his ribs!
As he looked at the gods and demons hiding in front of the windows of the palaces, his flesh and blood were gradually becoming illusory, revealing their white bones!
This true fire of the sun seemed to be completely useless to him. It was only useful to the gods and demons in Fengdu. It could burn the bodies of those gods and demons and incinerate their souls!
In the east, the huge sun was becoming increasingly hot and red. One could vaguely see palaces standing in the sun, extremely huge. In front of the temple in the sun, stood giant drums. The drums were stood up, and gods and demons with sturdy bodies were beating the drums frantically, causing the sun's pure yang fire to flow continuously and rush towards Fengdu.
In the sun, there are thousands of temples, thousands of big drums, and thousands of giants, beating drums madly. Real fire is gushing out and flooding Fengdu!
"This is……"
Qin Mu's heart was shaken, and he suddenly heard a scream. He turned around hurriedly, and saw the big meat ball transformed by Xing Xiong burning fiercely in the true fire of the sun. Dozens of faces were distorted, struggling, screaming, and in unbearable pain.
Their bodies were burned by the real fire and turned into shadows, revealing the true form of Xing An faintly.
Xing'an was also in great pain. At this moment, he suddenly jumped up and jumped into the Naihe River with a splash. The river under the Naihe Bridge was filled with fog, and monsters surged, drowning Xing'an.
"Xing'an!"
Qin Mu quickly rushed to the river. The fog in the river became thicker and thicker, fighting against the flames of the sun, so that he could not see any trace of Xing An.
"He fell into the underworld."
The Chixiu God flapped his wings twice. The Sun's True Fire was useless to him. He urged, "Hurry up, the King of Hell is still waiting for you!"
Qin Mu calmed himself down and followed him into the Qin Palace.
Inside the Palace of King Qin, the King of Hell was still wearing a black robe and cloak, covering his face and body in darkness. Qin Mu looked around but did not see the ghost kings.
"Chixiu, you can go out now." The voice came from the King of Hell, who was sitting on the throne in the Qin Palace, high above.
"Yes." The divine man Chixiu left the Qin Palace.
On the throne, the King of Hell was flipping through a book, making a rustling sound. At this moment, only he and Qin Mu were left in the hall, and he seemed to be completely unaffected by the rising sun.
Qin Mu was worried. After a while, the King of Hell stood up and the lights in the King Qin's Palace became dim. Qin Mu suddenly felt himself shrouded in darkness.
"You are from Worryfree, right? Who is your father?"
Qin Mu was slightly startled, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question, and said: "My father, Qin Hanzhen, should be from Wuyou Township, but I was not born in Wuyou Township..."
"Qin Hanzhen?"
The King of Hell was stunned and whispered, "Has it reached Han's generation? Yu, De, Chang, Ming, Han, Feng, Huan, Zhen. The Qin family should have been around for more than a hundred generations by your generation."
He picked up the book he had just flipped through, found the word Han, and said, "Han is the 106th generation, Feng is the 107th generation. Your real name is not Qin Mu, there should be a word Feng in your name."
Qin Mu nodded, but did not say his real name.
Ever since he met the Great Master, he realized that revealing his real name was a very dangerous thing, especially to an existence like the King of Hell who controlled Fengdu, it was extremely dangerous.
Although there is the Qin Palace here and the King of Hell also has the Qin family's genealogy, he cannot act without caution.
"You didn't tell me your name was right. This world is indeed very dangerous."
The King of Hell said, "My surname is also Qin, but it was given to me. I am a child of the family tree. I was originally nothing, an orphan, lonely and helpless. Your Majesty allowed me to be included in the Qin family tree, and my name is on the tree."
Qin Mu understood that "Minglongzi" means adopted son or foster son. He meant that he was not originally a member of the Qin family, but was later given the surname Qin and was adopted as a son.
"I haven't seen visitors from Worry-Free Township for a long time."
The King of Hell walked past him and came to the palace gate. He looked at Fengdu which was engulfed in flames and said, "I originally thought that His Majesty would return here from Wuyou Township, but I didn't expect that he would not come back after 20,000 years, and only His Majesty's 107th generation grandson. You used the power of Hell to snatch a few souls from me. I noticed that your appearance was somewhat similar to His Majesty's, so I didn't stop you."
Qin Mu was still confused and asked tentatively: "You mean, Kaihuang is still alive?"
The face of the King of Hell was still shrouded in a black robe. Even the extremely strong firelight could not penetrate the darkness under the black robe and black cloak: "Your Majesty is still alive. After the opening of Wuyou Township, he led the last gods to leave this world, conserve their strength, and wait for a counterattack. Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy. He realized the danger was coming very early, so he ordered me to open up Fengdu so that the gods who did not have time to leave could calm down, enter Fengdu, and wait for a comeback. This wait lasted for 20,000 years... You just said that you were not born in Wuyou Township, so where were you born?"
Qin Mu was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Youdu."
