It could be said that this was a bad omen.
Be it grave robbing or exorcising, that very one taboo was to do those things in rainy weather.
The reason was because water contained Qi of Yin.
It was likely to induce the rise of living corpses...
At this very moment, the King of Hell who initially wanted to close the gates to the netherworld in three days gave a new order. If the rain would not stop, the gates to the netherworld must be closed at midnight, which was the zero hour.
When the son of the King of Hell heard the news, he smacked the Book of Life and Death in his hands, âOld man, are you kidding me?â
King of Hell hated being called old the most. His hand tightened around the teacup he was holding, then with an unpleasant expression he scolded,âB*stard, you must be yearning to be punished! From today onward, youâre forbidden to step out from the netherworld!â
âYouâre making me want to leave here!â The King of Hellâs son had two horns on his head and a death mark imprinted on the corner of his handsome mouth, âYou think I love this place? I will head toward the human world now! Little Hook is still waiting for me there!â
The King of Hell snickered, âWasnât that the human who kicked you back here? Still waiting for you? Isnât it time that you wake up from your daydream?â
âOld Man, Iâll tolerate you this time since youâre my father!â His son lifted his huge black axe and prepared to leap toward the human world!
Resignedly, he was not skillful enough. After jumping a long way, he was still unable to get out from that supposedly little place.
The son of the King of Hell looked back at his father, âIf youâre so capable, let go of me and Iâll fight you one on one!â
âWhy should I fight one on one with you? Shut your mouth, you brat!â The King of Hell was annoyed as well. This b*stard thought that I really wanted to close the gates of netherworld? With the current situation, if something bad infiltrated in, it would be much more troublesome to handle.
It was obvious that the King of Hell was not a man of patience. He confined his son to a chair and then continued to give orders to the judges. They must match the names and time of death on the Book of Life and Death before midnight.
Seeing as his father was busy, the son took a peek at the two-headed dog behind him.
That was his pet which would always follow alongside him all year round.
The two-headed dog was busy playing with a ball.
Seeing their owner staring at them, they stopped playing.
One of heads spoke, âLittle brother, look. What is young master calling us for?â
âHe must want us to untie him!â The other head replied with confidence. It had straightened itself up, waiting for a praise from the King of Hellâs son.
However...
Its voice and movements were too loud.
Not just the busy King of Hell, but even the judges looked toward the son of the King of Hell...
He cursed under his breath, holding his forehead with his small hand. How stupid was the dog he reared! Dumber than huskies!
There was no other choice. Even though he knew his father would be enraged after hearing what he had to say, and would probably want to duel with that person, he insisted on telling!
âOld Man, do you remember that Great Demon King whom you always fought with and was on par with you? Heâs still alive, I saw him.â The truth was, his father had never won against the Great Demon King, but he said it to agitate his father less.
As expected, the King of Hell pushed aside the judges before him as he yelled with fire in his eyes, âWhereâs that jerk?â
His son replied coldly, âWhy should I tell you?â
The King of Hell narrowed his eyes, a shimmer of amber emitted from them, âYou think you can threaten me this way?â
âAnyway, he became more handsome than before.â His son pretended like it was none of his business and continued,âIf mother sees him, she would definitely abandon you, have you forgotten how she praised him that time? She commented that he was like a divine deity, with a devilish aura around him, yet he was as gentle as water. Sigh, the main core of that person is his charisma. Father, not that I want to deal a blow at you, itâs just that although you look alright, using violence for loyalty is no longer the trend now. Instead, gentle and elegance is highly sought after, yet you have none of those qualities. Moreover, mother has not completely agree to be with you even until now. Heh!â
The words from the King of Hellâs son had sparked the King of Hellâs fury!
âTell me his location right now and Iâll let you go to the human world to see Little Hook!â King of Hell could not tolerate men whom his wife had praised before. He must kill them all!
The son of the King of Hell took the chance and clapped his hands, âDeal!â
The father and son made a deal. One went to the palace with rage.
The other used the two-headed dog to quickly locate the Alsatian beside Helian Wei Wei. He jumped down and landed on the Wang familyâs roof.
Right then, Helian Wei Weiâs eyes darkened along with the sudden downpour.
When the son of the King of Hell saw her, he immediately jumped down into the courtyard, âWoman!â
Helian Wei Wei saw the hostile little boy and raised her eyebrows,âWhy did you come?â
âIâm here to inform you that my father is closing the Path of Reincarnation in advance. Luckily he is a jealous man. Once he heard about the Great Demon King, he forgot his responsibilities and rushed to the palace!â
Helian Wei Wei listened quietly but could not help herself as she turned to look at Baili Jia Jue.
His Highness had his attractive face turned to the side. Moonlight and rain meant nothing to him, even the words of the King of Hellâs son were not taken seriously
But... what had His Highness done this time, to make the King of Hell lose his mind, and left everything behind just for revenge in the human world?
Helian Wei Wei did not doubt His Highnessâ ability to attract hatred.
Yet he never seemed to be bothered by it before.
Becoming His Highnessâ enemy was quite a tragedy...
âBut,â the King of Hellâs son continued, âHe was always fast. If he could not find the Great Demon King in the palace, he would immediately continue with his plan to close the Path of Reincarnation. The judges are all ready. Once it reaches midnight, the gates to the netherworld would be closed. Unless the rain stops, or the netherworld would not be able to tell which spirit carried the aura of resentment and which did not. Hence, this extreme measure is the only way.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Helian Wei Wei frowned, she did not blame the son of the King of Hell for suddenly going back on his words.
She knew that the decision to close the gates to the netherworld was for the greater good. It was an effective way to quarantine the infection from spreading.
Unless the source of the infection could be eliminated immediately, if not, the Path of Reincarnation would definitely need to close.
Helian Wei Wei turned her head and rested her sights on Yan Liu-er and Wang Ling. Then, she narrowed her eyes as she strode toward Wang Ling, âIn that case, we should not waste anymore time.â
In that moment, hidden under its long hair, the corners of the hostile ghostâs lips slowly lifted, giving off a frightening aura. It knew it. However clever a person was, they would always forget about the innocent weaklings. Moreover, he had already made a scene just now which went according to his plan. The moment the wedding outfits were burned, he finally picked this person...
