Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 427: The Son of Heaven Arrives!!!

Investigation? A very important person?

After hearing King Yama’s words, Chen Lan furrowed his brow slightly, contemplating the meaning. Is the Underworld looking for someone?

Suddenly, his pupils contracted. Could it be that someone had already discovered he had ascended, and the Underworld was searching for him?

The more Chen Lan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, why would the Underworld go to such great lengths?

"Fellow Daoist, please come with me." At that moment, a ghost approached, at the Celestial Emperor level, smiling at Chen Lan.

Chen Lan snapped back to reality, glancing around to notice everyone being led away by different ghosts. Where were they going?

"Where to?" Chen Lan asked.

"Fellow Daoist, I’ll take you to rest. The investigation will continue tomorrow," the ghost smiled, but then its body suddenly froze, and its eyes turned white, remaining still!

Chen Lan’s Soul Dao Power had invaded, instantly knowing the ghost’s memories and understanding the full story.

The ghost’s body faded into the Void Space as Chen Lan walked towards his residence. The Underworld was indeed looking for someone with ’water’ in their name, which was him, right?

Lan, with the water radical, three-dot water, and even had a feud with the Underworld; wasn’t it him they were seeking?

Who leaked the information? Could someone in the Underworld have been secretly watching him, knowing he ascended?

No, even if they knew he ascended, why use such clumsy methods, looking for people with ’water’ in their names from house to house? Perhaps they weren’t looking for him, but someone else.

For now, he needed an opportunity to track Luo Tao and the others.

...

Netherworld City.

"My King, the person has arrived in the Netherworld, disguised and entered the Underworld."

A ghost knelt before the Netherworld Great Emperor, reporting with cupped fists.

The young man sat on the throne, lightly tapping the armrest with his forefinger, speaking indifferently, "After observing for so long, have you sensed any Demonic Qi from this person?"

"None, there is no Demonic Qi on this person. Moreover, he found a flesh body with the Ten Thousand Dao Array Body for the senior, and arranged layers of arrays around the Underworld, seemingly planning to wage war," the ghost replied.

Hearing this, the Netherworld Great Emperor murmured to himself, "No Demonic Qi, so it isn’t him?"

If it were truly him, he would be accompanied by overwhelming Demonic Qi; even if hidden, not all could be concealed.

His eyes showed a hint of disappointment. So it really wasn’t him, but someone else?

"Continue observing. It’s not a critical matter, no need to report," the Netherworld Great Emperor waved his hand, as his birthday was approaching; since this person wasn’t that esteemed one, let it be. That person helped the senior and also found a body for him, thus, is a friend of the Demon Race.

In this Netherworld, unless something too major happens, he would intervene at times.

...

Underworld.

Chen Lan transformed into a floating ghost with no lower body, appearing in the Underworld without drawing other ghosts’ attention, allowing him to move freely.

In the ghost’s soul memory from earlier, he found no information about Luo Tao and the others, most likely due to the ghost’s low cultivation level. He needed to find a higher-ranked ghost.

Just then, a minotaur-like ghost passed by, arrogantly ordering other ghosts around, catching his eye.

It seemed this ghost held some position in the Underworld, perhaps knowing Luo Tao and the others’ whereabouts.

Thinking of this, he approached the minotaur, who frowned and coldly said, "What are you doing here? Get to work quickly!"

In an instant, Chen Lan acted, grabbing the minotaur’s neck and dragging him into the Void Space, refining him quickly to gain all his memories, eyes widening as he clenched his fist.

"Very well, the Underworld slaughtered my disciples by the millions, throwing their souls into furnaces and stone mills to be burned and ground, leaving my disciples wishing for life nor death, even after death they found no peace. This vengeance, I must repay!" Chen Lan roared in anger, his killing intent overwhelming.

From the minotaur’s memories, it revealed that Xiao Yao Sect’s disciples were captured by the Underworld alive and tortured to death. Even in death, their souls suffered endless torture, the Underworld’s methods ruthless and heartless!

This grudge, he would certainly repay!

At the same time, he obtained the location where Blue Star people were imprisoned, at the eighteenth layer of the Eighteen Hells, the most painful and cruel hell!

His disciples, his brothers, and his Dao companion had been enduring countless torture in this Eternal Purgatory, thoroughly angering him, and when the array was set, it would be the Underworld’s demise!

Soon, he took on the appearance of the minotaur and headed toward the Eighteen Hells. With this identity, he met no obstruction, witnessing the feared and terrifying purgatory.

The first layer, the Tongue Pulling Hell, where those who lied, deceived, sowed discord, slandered others, or had a slick tongue suffered inhumane torture! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The air was filled with the cries of various souls, but Chen Lan took it all in without fear, only boundless anger. His disciples and brothers had suffered such torment, and he was determined to make every ghost in the Underworld suffer the same!

Layer by layer, Scissors Hell, Iron Tree Hell, Mirror of Sin Hell... until he reached the Saw Hell on the eighteenth layer, arriving at the cells where Blue Star people were held, only to be stunned.

The cells were empty; not a single Blue Star person was present!

Quickly, he found the ghost guarding there and asked, "Where are those Blue Star people?"

"Sir Niu, the Blue Star people were taken by Lords Yama and Qin Guang the day before yesterday, seemingly for this Netherworld celebration," the ghost answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Chen Lan’s pupils contracted. They had been taken away, and despite his effort to reach the Underworld, he was still a step late.

Boom!

The ghost suddenly exploded, its soul scattered, as Chen Lan took action.

"Still a step too late, but no matter. The Forbidden Heaven array is almost prepared; tomorrow, the slaughter can commence. Just wait one more day."

Since I’m here, I might as well kill.

...

The next day.

King Yama had gathered everyone with ’water’ in their name, with Chen Lan among them.

"Everyone, I have gathered you not for any other reason but to request your cooperation. Once the investigation is complete, you can leave," King Yama said with a grin, taking out the Stone of Three Lives and starting the investigation one by one.

If the Stone of Three Lives had no reaction, the person wasn’t who they were looking for and could leave, even taking handsome rewards from the Underworld.

Watching as the Stone of Three Lives conducted the investigation, Chen Lan remained exceedingly calm, having already prepared to act, with the Forbidden Heaven array set up, and the Demon Race awaiting orders around the Underworld.

"With one order, they could all assault the Underworld.

"The Son of Heaven arrives!!!"
