608 Dare to be Angry, but Dare Not Speak
“These are your subordinates. You don’t mind us eating some, right?” The Pig Ghost King wolfed down his food, revealing his blood-stained teeth.
In comparison, Fish Gills next to him looked much more refined. He held a knife and cut some meat into his mouth. Then, he took a sip of wine and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.
Judge Pan Kui did not eat anyone, or rather, he was already full. He was carefully admiring a picture.
“Sir, please do as you please. If it’s not enough, there’s more outside.” He Chuan laughed when he heard the Pig Ghost King’s words.
“This Demon Suppressing Painting.” Judge Pan Kui seemed to have a hidden meaning as if he couldn’t bear to part with it.
“If Milord likes it, feel free to take it.” He Chuan said straightforwardly.
“A gentleman doesn’t snatch what others like.” Judge Pan Kui pretended to decline but showed no signs of returning it.
Judge Pan Kui declined He Chuan again and again, but in the end, he reluctantly accepted his kindness.
“Sure enough, you’re straightforward. Drink a cup of heart blood. From now on, you’ll be our brother. We’ll share weal and woe together!”
Judge Pan Kui raised his wine cup high and handed him another.
“Thank you, Judge.” He Chuan endured and drank the blood.
Amidst the laughter of the ghosts and gods spread in all directions, the Pig Demon King patted He Chuan’s shoulder hard.
He Chuan also laughed along with everyone. His laughter contained an undetectable coldness.
As expected, he was not on the same side as the people of the Netherworld.
If his guess was correct, it was all the work of Judge Kui.
It wasn’t because he was unhappy with him, but because he wanted to establish his dignity.
Just like the killing stick that entered the Yamen, the new recruits had to have their arrogance broken as a subordinate before they could be at ease and be used by themselves.
In this situation, was he being acknowledged?
He Chuan silently noted it down in his heart.
“The woman on the dragon throne just now was your subordinate?” Pig Ghost King suddenly asked.
“Do you mind if I kill her?” The Pig Ghost King’s eyes widened.
“Who are you to order Brother He Chuan’s people around? I’ll break your arm!” Judge Pan Kui feigned anger.
After saying that, he was about to move forward.
“The Scorching Sun Dynasty was my enemy in the past, and I only subdued them a few days ago.” He Chuan said indifferently.
“I like you.” Judge Pan Kui was quite satisfied. This newcomer was the one he was most satisfied with at the moment. He was very talented, but not arrogant. He knew the circumstances and was worth training.
He was not targeting He Chuan. The reason why he treated him like this was to give him a heavy responsibility in the future.
This was a way for the higher-ups to test their subordinates. They wanted to temper this person and see how good his character was.
If there was no resentment in his heart, there would definitely be great rewards in the future.
Let’s see if He Chuan can understand his good intentions.
“I have a general understanding of the Three Divisions and Six Cases. Among the Six Cases, the Judge monopolizes four cases.”
Two cases of Punishment of Evil, Supervision, and Yin Law.
The last three cases were already filled, and only the Department of Merit Rewards was vacant.
However, Yin Law stipulated that those who did not have merit could not take up the post of secretary.
“I’m already very satisfied with the position of Yin Commander.” He Chuan cupped his hands.
“What is a Yin Commander, This Lord wants you to make contributions, so that you can become a Case Officer.” Judge Pan Kui told him the plan.
He wanted He Chuan to set up a Netherworld in this world to establish order.
The Netherworld was actually very simple. He just needed to find a hidden place, build the Golden Bridge of Helplessness, draw the Yellow Spring River water, and set up the City Gods, welcoming envoys, and guardian envoys.
“Therefore, you will be the Yin Commander for the time being. After you have made merit to opening up the world, you will be promoted to the Case Officer of the Merit Rewards Department.” Judge Pan Kui was lazy and didn’t want to do it himself, so he arranged for He Chuan to do it.
“I can build the Netherworld in this world, but it might not be the case in other worlds.” He Chuan added again.
Dahao Star was not a unified dynasty. There were many forces, and an addition of a Netherworld would not cause too much trouble.
However, Great Yan Star was different.
The Five Emperors and their subordinate forces spread across the entire world like a spider web, not allowing anyone to interfere.
If he didn’t deal with the Five Emperors, he wouldn’t be able to set up the Netherworld there.
“Two worlds?” A hint of greed flashed in Judge Pan Kui’s eyes.
The credit for conquering two worlds was enough for him to be promoted.
However, after hearing that the other party had six Sacred Sovereigns, Pan Kui fell silent.
Six Sacred Sovereigns, their strength was far stronger than he imagined.
“Is it really irreconcilable?” Judge Pan Kui asked.
It wasn’t that the Netherworld wouldn’t compromise. Most people weren’t battle maniacs who fought everywhere. Their goal was to establish the Netherworld, and that was their only merit.
Therefore, they could even compromise when necessary.
For example, Yuan Emperor didn’t attack people above Immortal Venerable on Great Instant Star to protect the interests of Yang Kang and the others.
It still depended on how big the benefits were.
The Netherworld was not something that would be bullied by any Tom, Dick, and Harry. They would mobilize an army to get rid of those who were in the way.
“There’s no room for negotiation.” He Chuan shook his head decisively and then spoke of ‘faiths’ and the style of the Five Emperors and the others.
Judge Pan Kui realized it was impossible. A faction with a strong sense of rejection would not tolerate other factions stationed within their territory.
Only by mobilizing the army could they resist. If he went, he would be surrounded and attacked.
However, they could not report it to their superiors, or they would not have any credit.
“Don’t worry about Great Yan. First, deal with the Netherworld here. When the matters here are almost over, you can consider that side.” Thinking of this, Pan Kui looked at He Chuan and said.
He Chuan needed to temper himself. Perhaps he could hand over Great Yan’s matters to him and see if he could temper himself.
“Go back and prepare. If someone makes a move, inform us through the Netherworld Yin Seal.” Judge Pan Kui said and left.
“Yes.” He Chuan said respectfully.
After all the ghosts and gods had returned, He Chuan finally came back to his senses. Now, there was no killing intent in his heart and he had calmed down.
It was not a determination that could only be proven by shouting.
A dog that bites would not bark, and a poisonous snake that kills would not easily bare its fangs.
He didn’t have much of a relationship with the people from the Scorching Sun Dynasty, so he wouldn’t go so far as to avenge them. However, they were still his subordinates. If he killed them so openly, the target must be He Chuan.
This also proved that this group of people could not be befriended. He had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves and could only slowly plot against them.
He Chuan wondered if he could use the Five Emperors to restrain Pan Kui.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife and then sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Whether it was the mortal world or the cultivation forces, it was impossible for the subordinates to able to rise steadily after their superior was killed, especially in the case of a failed operation. It would be better if he succeeded.
Or he might even be implicated and transferred to an unfamiliar place with an even worse environment.
If that were the case, it would be better not to kill Judge Pan Kui. At least he would be allowed to stay in Dahao Star.
He had to think of a foolproof plan. He Chuan did not like a strong leader.
There was no one in the hall, and the blood had not dried up.
He Chuan flew to the outside world and the capital looked like ruins. Everywhere was filled with broken limbs and wreckage.
During this period of time, at least a few million people had died. Those who were lucky enough to survive were numb and in extreme pain.
The center of the world had been massacred, and all the civil and military officials had been killed. The backbone of this dynasty had been broken, and the people were numb.
He Chuan walked to the street, thinking about how to deal with it.
The Scorching Sun Dynasty had gone through a few hardships and still had a population of more than a billion. The establishment of the Netherworld needed a stable population. They could not give up on this place and had to find someone to take charge of the overall situation.
