Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 749 - 758: Does Xiao Bai Want to Leave?

Ye Ling's aura was not innate; he fought his way through the paler reality of the Immortal Realm in his previous life, stepping over endless piles of white bones.

So, whether it was Long Meng and the Ksitigarbha King or even Mahavairocana and the Three Purities here, he would remain indifferent as usual.

Hearing Ye Ling's words, the Ksitigarbha King nodded. Then he glanced at Long Meng in the air, "Friend Long Meng, do you have any objections?"

"What objections can I have? You've already decided after the Nine Tribulations spoke, and only now you ask me? I have no objections, let's do as he suggested."

"Just don't let me raise any objections later, or those household Fierce Beasts of his will come to slay me again, I won't be able to withstand them, you're really stirring up trouble."

Long Meng muttered the last sentence under his breath, while Ye Ling gave it a sidelong glance—why was this creature so talkative?

"Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, your governance has been lax, so I punish you to retreat in the Yellow Springs of the Nine Nether for a thousand years. Do you have any objections?"

The Ksitigarbha King turned around, and the first to be punished was actually the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. This was unexpected to many, completely unforeseen.

The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall nodded, bringing his hands together, "Thank you for your mercy, Bodhisattva."

Object or resist?

Don't be ridiculous, in the Netherworld, the Ksitigarbha King is like a god, his words are Heavenly Dao, and no one can defy them.

"Third Enforcement Squad of the Enforcement Hall, according to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, all five of you should have your Divine Souls completely annihilated, never to enter Reincarnation or the Heavenly Dao again."

"However, Nine Tribulations friend has pleaded on your behalf. Thus, I sentence each of you five to experience ten lifetimes in the animal realm, afterward, you may reincarnate as humans. Do you have any objections?"

The Ksitigarbha King turned and spoke to the five Underworld Soldiers, who immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing in gratitude.

This outcome, was even better than not dying. If they hadn't died, at the very least, they would've faced an ending in the eighteenth level of hell. Now, being allowed to be reborn, even into the animal realm, is still better than the eighteenth level of hell.

Ye Ling shook his head—was this his promise fulfilled? He said he'd save their lives, but they were still being reincarnated, how did that count?

"Tong Shan and his son, Tong Fei, from this moment forth you shall be turned to ash and smoke, erased from the Heavenly Dao, the Five Elements entirely extinguished, and your Divine Souls fallen into the long river, never to transcend again!"

The Ksitigarbha King's eyes shone with dazzling golden light. With a single point of his finger, a swath of golden light enveloped Tong Shan and his son, Tong Fei.

Humming, power began to build slowly, and in the blink of an eye, father and son disappeared from this world, forever losing the slightest chance for rebirth.

"Remember this, within the Netherworld, if such an event occurs again, you will all enter the eighteen levels of hell, never to transcend through the ages!"

The Ksitigarbha King's gaze swept across the crowd, his voice booming like thunder, stirring and powerful, carrying the Lion's Roar of Buddhism, which shook the hearts of all present.

In mid-air, various great bosses nodded repeatedly, hands joined in reverence, repeatedly vowing to follow the Buddhist decree, and this voice also spread throughout the Netherworld.

"Alright, everyone return to your positions. Friend Nine Tribulations, Friend Long Meng, please come to my daoist sanctuary for a gathering."

The Ksitigarbha King smiled slightly, and the other great bosses hastened to leave. Qing Yi glanced at Ye Ling, then left with King Senluo without staying behind.

She knew that she was not suitable to be present in such circumstances, having no relationship with Ye Ling, and not being his wife, it was inappropriate for her to stay.

The world was filled with the repentant sounds of Buddha chants, a foggy sea of clouds, and the sky so profound and mysterious—this was the daoist sanctuary of the Ksitigarbha King.

Ye Ling and the others entered the Ksitigarbha King's sanctuary, where they saw his mount, the listening beast, which was also a formidable member of the Demon Race. Of course, it had been subdued by the Ksitigarbha King for who knows how many years.

"Nine Tribulations fellow Daoist, if I am not mistaken, you must have been struck by the Extermination of Immortals Finger, right?"

The Ksitigarbha King's insight was indeed profound, hitting right at the Divine Skill that had befallen Ye Ling and was also the reason his cultivation had been completely forsaken.

Long Meng, standing by, nodded in agreement, "I also discerned that. However, big monk, do you have a way to break the curse of the Extermination of Immortals Finger? I am powerless to help, but I reckon if you could break it, the several mistresses of the Nine Tribulations Territory would be very pleased."

Ye Ling's heart immediately lifted, and he couldn't help but harbor a trace of faint hope. This Ksitigarbha King, with his numerous methods, might actually save his life.

Unfortunately, the Ksitigarbha King shook his head, "I, too, am powerless. Even the Buddhist Lord Tathagata would be helpless against the Extermination of Immortals Finger. It is one of the most vicious Divine Skills inflicted by the Heavenly Dao."

"Nine Tribulations fellow Daoist was about to become immortal, but this finger extinguished his path to immortality. Truly a pity and regrettable," he said with a shake of his head and a sigh.

Long Meng, standing beside, curled his lip, "I don't believe this guy will die. He's someone who could pull off anything."

"I've already gotten used to it. No cultivation, then no cultivation it is. As for death, I believe my life is too tenacious; not even the Heavenly Dao can take it away. What do you think?"

Ye Ling also managed a slight smile, but of course, deep down, he still felt a measure of disappointment—who wouldn't want to possess cultivation that could reach the heavens and penetrate the earth!

"Hey, that's right! I hold up four claws in agreement; your damn life is indeed too tenacious. You survived the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation and managed to live on and be reborn; that's the proof right there."

"In ancient and modern times, those who have survived such tribulations without death, you tell me, how many have there been? And you just happened to be one of them."

"You have no idea—after the Immortal Realm thought you were dead, everyone felt threatened. Everyone feared your kin would blind with rage and murder, potentially implicating them if caught in the crossfire with nowhere to seek justice," he remarked, nodding repeatedly before standing up. "Alright, enough talk. I must be going. Oh, Nine Tribulations, I need to take this junior back to the Demon Realm."

Xiao Bai was startled. What did he mean? When did he ever agree to return to the Demon Realm? It shook its head firmly, "I won't go! It's come to this point, and I want to stay with Ye Ling!"

"Stop being foolish. After such a commotion, even my avatar has descended. You must return with me; otherwise, you might very well fall into the poisonous hands of the enemies of our race," Long Meng stated in a cold voice, yet the concern in his eyes was unmistakable—a line of the Chaos Divine Beast were scarce, how few of them were left?

Ye Ling shook his head, "Xiao Bai, listen to me, return with fellow Daoist Long Meng. I'm fine, you have to believe me!"

"It's true; remaining with me poses a great danger, and now that I am ruined, accompanying me not only harms you but also harms me."

"Should your enemies come for vengeance, I will be utterly unable to protect you. Instead, you might even implicate me. Return to the Demon Realm with fellow Daoist Long Meng."

"Cultivate well and wait for me. One day, I will ascend to immortality and rise to the heavens!"

Ye Ling took a deep breath, his tone strange. Xiao Bai heard clearly and knew that Ye Ling's words were not really about finding Xiao Bai burdensome or bringing disaster upon him.

"I..."

Xiao Bai was about to speak when Ye Ling shook his head, his expression determined!

Long Meng nodded in satisfaction. Ah, that's right! The guy finally did something right for a change.

"If I am to leave, I have one condition!"

Xiao Bai said through gritted teeth. Long Meng nodded; not just one condition, he would agree to ten if necessary.

"Destroy the Divines Hall and avenge Ye Ling; only then I will return with you to the Demon Realm!"
