Chapter 272 The Ancestral Witch Shows Up Just for the Witch
As soon as the two kings stood still, they bowed to Bixia Yuanjun and said, "The Bull-Headed King and the Horse-Faced King greet the Queen Pingxin. May the Queen live forever and have a long and blessed life."
Bixia Yuanjun nodded slightly and said, "Get up first. I asked you to come here today because I have something to tell you. Do you remember that not long ago I asked you two to send the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced to the Shebishi Tribe and the Wuren Tribe to collect souls?"
The Bull-Headed King and the Horse-Faced King exchanged a glance, and it was the Horse-Faced King who spoke respectfully first: "Reporting to the Queen Mother Pingxin, we naturally remember that according to the Queen Mother's order, we have already captured the souls of 3,000 people from the Shebishi Tribe and 30,000 people from the Wuren Tribe. According to the Queen Mother's order, these souls are temporarily sealed in the Judge's Pen of the Black and White Judge, waiting for the Queen Mother's order."
When Bixia Yuanjun first issued this decree, the two of them thought they had misheard, but later they realized that the queen really wanted them to do so.
Although the primitive world is constantly evolving towards acquired things, overall, innate things still account for the majority today.
The hundreds of innate races still exist, firmly occupying the commanding heights of the prehistoric world, while the countless acquired races can only bow down and submit to them, not daring to disobey them in the slightest.
A few mouthfuls of innate spiritual energy are enough to create a true immortal. Some creatures with some talent, as long as they practice, can almost all achieve immortality and live for millions of years.
Ordinary innate creatures are like this, let alone the witch clan, a race favored by the ancient world?
Not to say that everyone is a saint, but at least they will live a worry-free life and enjoy a long and blessed life.
Now, they follow the will of Bixia Yuanjun, and among the souls they have summoned, almost all are healthy and lively, with no sign of death at all.
Not to mention the Wu clan members of the Shebisi tribe, even among the members of the Wu clan, the oldest one is still hundreds of thousands of years away from death. It seems that they are really looking for trouble.
But this is something Empress Pingxin ordered, who dares not to do it?
After hearing this, Bixia Yuanjun sneered and said, "No need to wait any longer, no need to judge any more, just send them to the eighteen levels of hell, and be punished for tens of millions of years, then be sent to the evil ghost realm to be tortured for a million years, then be sent to the hell realm to be tortured for a million years, and finally be sent to the animal realm to be ground for a million years."
"Remember, you must reveal this news to Fuyou and Chiyou. If they break into the underworld, immediately report it to the Five Mountains Emperor and kill these two people directly!"
“Finally, throw the bodies into the six reincarnations and grind out a trace of their souls. It doesn’t matter if the floating ones are ground out or not, but I must grind out a trace of Chi You’s soul!”
The Bull-Headed King and the Horse-Faced King were horrified after hearing this. Did Lady Pingxin mean to abuse innocent people?
This really made them feel very uncomfortable.
The reason why they were appointed by Hengming and Nuwa to be the two kings is because they were the incarnation of a fair energy in the void, representing the fairness and justice of the ancient times. They have a righteous spirit in their hearts, which ensures that not a single soul they captured was wrong.
But now, asking them to do these unjust things makes them feel disgusted.
But looking at Bixia Yuanjun's slightly cold eyes, they didn't dare to say anything more.
In the end, the Bull-Headed King and the Horse-Faced King could only say weakly, "Yes," and then retreated.
Bixia Yuanjun did not pay much attention to the wishes of the two people. If they dared to disobey her order, she would kill them directly. It was just the spirit of fairness incarnated. As long as she wanted, she could create a few more at any time.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and today you finally took the bait." Bixia Yuanjun murmured, "Since the Human Emperor needs an opponent, I will use this killing calamity to send your race on its last journey."
As soon as the Bull-Head King and the Horse-Faced King left the Samsara Palace, they began to unconsciously discuss what had just happened.
"Brother, tell me, what happened to Empress Pingxin? She used to be kind and gentle, but today she wants us to torture innocent souls. Isn't this too... cruel?"
The Bull-Headed King couldn't help but say.
He really couldn't bring himself to torture innocent souls, it would be a betrayal of his moral integrity.
The Horse-Faced King also didn't want to do that, but if he was asked to disobey Bixia Yuanjun's order, he really didn't dare to do so.
Finally, he could only sigh and say, "The queen has her reasons for doing this. As her subordinates, we must obey her. How can we refute her? Don't think too much, otherwise you will only get stuck in a dead end. You are a bull-headed king, and you are still stuck in a dead end. Aren't you afraid that the bull-headed people will laugh at you when they see you?"
But facing the Horse-Faced King's joke, the Bull-Headed King did not respond as he did in the past. The huge bull head was still weak, and the two upward horns were bent down at this moment, exuding a dejected look.
"Tell me, we were originally assigned here by the Hengming Sect Leader. We thought we could realize our ambitions, but we never expected that we would end up disappointing ourselves. Alas, the world is unpredictable and fate is unpredictable."
The Bull-Head King sighed and looked dejected, obviously unwilling to do these things.
The Horse-Faced King could only sigh softly upon seeing this. After all, this kind of thing can only be let go by oneself. If one cannot let it go, then others cannot either.
Just as they were about to go to the Judge's Hall, they saw from afar two divine lights heading towards the Samsara Palace. The divine lights exuded supreme majesty. They only looked at them a few more times and felt a sharp light shooting out and rushing straight into their minds. However, although their cultivation was weak, they were in the underworld at the moment and were the leaders of countless bull-headed and horse-faced monsters, black and white impermanence. Although they did not have a fruit position, they had a divine position and would naturally be blessed by the underworld.
A force of reincarnation descended and turned into a barrier to protect the Bull-Head King and the Horse-Faced King. The radiant light instantly hit the outside of the barrier, causing ripples. They were so scared that they thought their lives were over. However, the barrier was ultimately superior and shattered the radiant light.
But the two divine lights continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye they entered the Palace of Samsara without stopping for even a moment.
It can be seen that the owners of the two divine lights did not notice the Bull-Head King and the Horse-Faced King, and that the brilliance was just their guardian magic power, which happened spontaneously.
In the entire underworld, apart from Bixia Yuanjun and her five clones, the Five Mountains Emperors, only Fuyou and Chiyou can do so.
Seeing that the rebounding brilliance of the guardian magic power had such terrifying force, the Bull-Headed King and the Horse-Faced King felt even more uneasy, fearing that they would be killed by these two men when they were carrying out the task assigned by Empress Pingxin.
"Brother, what do you think we should do? Should we continue to carry out the Queen's mission?"
The Bull-Headed King was no longer sad about the passing of time. Rather than letting his Taoist heart be tarnished, he did not want to see his own body and Taoism disappear.
The Horse-Faced King looked solemn, and finally uttered a word slowly: "You must go!"
After hearing this, the Bull-Headed King showed a slight hesitation, as if he was thinking about something, but the next words from the Horse-Faced King made him completely forget all his thoughts.
"You are afraid of Fuyou and Chiyou, but are you not afraid of Empress Pingxin? Empress Pingxin is an equal to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, or even better. Fuyou and Chiyou are not as good as the Twelve Ancestral Witches. How dare you offend the Empress? Even if we are killed by these two, the Empress will pull us up even if it is just for the sake of face. But if we flee and let the Empress lose face, I am afraid that even if our souls fly away, it will be a good thing. I am afraid that we will never be reborn and suffer torture day and night. Have you forgotten Judge Li?"
The Horse-Faced King stopped dozing off and spoke in a sinister tone.
When he thought of Judge Li, the Bull-Head King couldn't help but shiver.
What the current Judge of Black and White was called has become a thing of the past. All we know is that his surname is Cui, and everyone calls him Judge Cui.
However, Judge Cui was not the first Judge of Black and White, but the second one, because the first Judge of Black and White, Judge Li, was thrown into the nineteenth level of hell: the Avici Hell, by Empress Pingxin herself, leaving a vacant position, which allowed Judge Cui to take the position.
The Eighteen Levels of Hell are used to target those with weak minds. If those with strong minds were to be punished in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, it would not have any effect at all. The Avici Hell is a hell specifically designed for this kind of people.
There are no torture instruments or punishments in the Avici Hell, only endless silence and eternal darkness, which is more terrifying than the deepest part of the prehistoric world.
I can’t see, hear, speak or smell. All my senses are blocked, but the emotions in my heart are infinitely stimulated.
I want to roar, but I can't say anything. I want to hear something, but all I can hear are my own thoughts. One increase and one decrease, one positive and one negative. No matter how strong a person is, he will be driven crazy by himself.
The most painful punishment in the world is not pain, but loneliness.
The incident of Judge Li had not happened too long ago, but it was a taboo in the underworld. Even the two of them didn't know much about it.
We only know some clues vaguely. It is said that Judge Li offended Empress Pingxin with his words, which made the Empress furious. She ignored the obstruction of others and directly imposed the greatest punishment on him. This move can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and no one dared to offend this supreme goddess anymore.
The Bull-Headed King trembled and said, "If I have to be thrown into hell, I would rather die!"
The Horse-Faced King snorted coldly, "Your soul is scattered? Where do you think this is? This is the underworld! Even if your soul is scattered, the Queen has plenty of ways to gather your soul again. Do you want to escape now, or do you want to follow me to the Judge's Hall and announce the Queen's will?"
The Bull-Headed King's legs trembled as he nodded vigorously and said, "Let's go to the Judge's Hall!"
Samsara Palace.
Bixia Yuanjun listened to the report from Jiutian Xuannu, but was not in a hurry to meet the two Hunyuan Ancestral Witches. She deliberately hesitated for a moment before leisurely going forward.
The two of them had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but in the end they had no choice but to sit in the hall and wait patiently. Even though the Queen Mother of the West offered them fragrant tea and magical fruits, they had no appetite to eat them. They just wanted to see Bixia Yuanjun as soon as possible.
Seeing Bixia Yuanjun come out, they immediately stood up and said impatiently, "Lady Pingxin, those Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, Black and White Impermanence, actually took away the souls of my Shebishi tribe members. Is there any misunderstanding?"
If it were in the past, Fuyou would have cursed loudly long ago, but since he took the position of the Ancestor of Poison Witch, he realized that times are different now. No matter how powerful the Witch Clan is, they have to be humble today.
Therefore, Fuyou had to use a very tactful tone to remind Bixia Yuanjun: "You have arrested the wrong people. Please release the people of the Shebisi tribe as soon as possible. I will be very grateful."
