Chapter 293

“Yes, it’s here.” Jiang Han put his hands behind his back, and as he finished speaking, he led Lin Lei into the Netherworld Mountain.

As soon as they entered the Netherworld Mountain, a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere hit them. The surrounding environment was dark and strange, as if it was hiding countless dangers. Lin Lei followed Jiang Han closely, his heart filled with tension and anxiety.

“Master, it’s so dark and eerie here. Is there any danger?” Linley asked in a low voice.

Jiang Han smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master is here and will not let you get into any danger."

As they walked along the mountain road, the scenery around them kept changing. Sometimes strange creatures appeared, and sometimes mysterious runes appeared. Linley looked at these scenes curiously, his heart full of doubts.

“Master, what are these?” Linley asked.

Jiang Han explained: "These are the special features of Nether Mountain. This place is full of mysterious power, and these creatures and runes are the embodiment of this power."

They continued to move forward and finally reached the top of the mountain. There was a huge platform on the top of the mountain, and on the platform there was an ancient altar. The altar exuded a mysterious light, which made people feel an invisible pressure.

"This is the place we are looking for." Jiang Han said.

Linley looked at the altar, his heart filled with anticipation. He knew that his father's soul was here, and as long as the master used his magical powers, his father would be able to be resurrected.

Jiang Han walked to the altar, closed his eyes, and began to use his magical powers. A powerful aura emanated from his body, and the space around him began to distort. Lin Lei looked at his master nervously, his heart full of anticipation.

After a while, Jiang Han opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

"Success." Jiang Han said.

Linley looked at the altar excitedly, and saw his father's soul slowly rising from the altar, becoming stronger and stronger. Finally, his father's soul merged into a body, and his father was resurrected.

“Father!” Linley ran over excitedly and hugged his father.

The father looked at Lin Lei with eyes full of love.

"Son, I made you worry," said the father.

Linley burst into tears. He knew that all this was due to his master. Without his master, his father would never have been resurrected.

“Thank you, Master!” Lin Lei knelt in front of Jiang Han and said gratefully.

Jiang Han helped Lin Lei up and said, “This is what a teacher should do. Now that your father has been resurrected, we should go to the Lord God’s Judgment Platform.”

Linley nodded. He knew that the Master’s decision could not be changed. They left Nether Mountain with their father and flew towards the Judgment Platform of the Lord God of Heaven.

On the way to the Lord God's Judgment Platform, they met many gods. These gods were all discussing Jiang Han and the Lord God's judgment. Lin Lei was filled with worry. He didn't know what fate his master would face on the Lord God's Judgment Platform.

Finally, they arrived at the judgment platform of the Lord God in heaven. The judgment platform of the Lord God was a huge square, full of gods. These gods came from various planes, and they all came to watch the judgment of the Lord God.

Jiang Han brought Lin Lei and his father to the center of the square. Their appearance caused a commotion, and all the gods looked at them with curiosity and awe in their eyes.

"Is he the leader of Jiangmen? He looks very ordinary."

"What do you know? He is a middle-level main god, and his strength is extremely powerful."

"I wonder how the four masters of rules will judge him."

……

The gods were talking about it, and the atmosphere in the square was very tense. Jiang Han stood there quietly, without any fear on his face. He knew that although his actions violated the agreement between the main gods, he did not regret it. He believed that he had enough strength and reason to face the judgment of the four masters of rules.

At this moment, four rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky. These four rays of light represented the four great rulers of rules. Their appearance made the atmosphere in the square even more tense, and all the gods bowed their heads to show respect.

The four Rule Masters landed on the high platform in the center of the square. They looked at Jiang Han with dignity in their eyes.

"Master Jiangmen, do you admit your crime?" asked Aofu, the master of fate.

Jiang Han smiled slightly and said, "I don't know the crime. I just did what I should do."

"You violated the agreement between the main gods and killed the lower-level main god Baal. This is an unforgivable crime." said the Lord of Life.

"The agreement is dead, but people are alive. Baal wanted to destroy the family of the Four Divine Beasts, and I just stopped him." Jiang Han said.

“Although you saved the Four Divine Beasts family, you cannot violate the agreement.” said the Lord of Destruction.

"If I don't take action, the Four Divine Beasts family will be destroyed. Are you just going to watch a family being destroyed?" Jiang Han asked back.

The four rule masters were silent. They knew that Jiang Han had a point. However, an agreement was an agreement and could not be broken because of a family.

"Master Jiangmen, although your behavior has some reason, you have indeed violated the agreement. We must punish you." said the Lord of Death.

"How are you going to punish me?" Jiang Han asked.

"We will deprive you of your power as a mid-level god and demote you to a lower-level god. Do you plead guilty?" said the Lord of Destiny.

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I don't plead guilty. Your punishment is too light."

"What did you say?" The four Rule Masters all showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect Jiang Han to think the punishment was too light.

"Although my actions violated the agreement, I was also fighting for justice. If you just deprive me of my power as a middle-level god and demote me to a lower-level god, who will fight for justice in the future?" Jiang Han said. The four rule masters were silent again. They knew that what Jiang Han said made sense. However, they could not help but punish Jiang Han, otherwise the agreement would lose its dignity.

"Master Jiangmen, your behavior is indeed worthy of praise. However, an agreement is an agreement and cannot be broken. We will consider your opinion and re-formulate the punishment measures." said the Lord of Destiny.

Jiang Han nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your decision."

The four Rule Masters left the square. They were going to re-discuss the punishment measures for Jiang Han. The gods in the square looked at Jiang Han with admiration in their eyes. They knew that this mysterious middle-level Lord God was not only powerful, but also had firm beliefs and courage.

While waiting for the decision of the four masters of rules, people from the Four Divine Beasts family came to Jiang Han.

"Sir, you are willing to take risks for us. We are grateful." said Reding Bell.

"Yes, sir. Without you, our family of four sacred beasts would be finished." The other three clan leaders also said.

Jiang Han smiled slightly and said, "This is what I should do. You don't have to take it to heart."

Linley looked at his master, his heart filled with pride. He knew that his master was a true hero who fought for justice, even at the risk of his life.

After a while, the four Rule Masters appeared again, all with serious expressions on their faces.

"Master Jiangmen, after discussion, we have decided to punish you as follows. You will be deprived of the power of a mid-level main god and demoted to a lower-level god. At the same time, you will be responsible for your actions. In the next thousand years, you must make contributions to the heavens to make up for your mistakes. Do you plead guilty?" said the Lord of Destiny.

Jiang Han nodded and said, "I plead guilty. I am willing to take responsibility for my actions and make contributions to the universe."

The decision of the four masters of rules made the gods in the square feel relieved. They knew that this punishment not only maintained the dignity of the agreement, but also reflected the justice and mercy of the four masters of rules.

Jiang Han was deprived of the power of the middle-level god and demoted to a lower-level god. However, he did not feel depressed. He knew that his actions were correct. He fought for justice and took risks. He believed that in the next thousand years, he would be able to make contributions to the heavens and make up for his mistakes.

After the Lord God's trial, Jiang Han took Lin Lei and his father away from the heavens. They returned to the Yulan Continent and started a new life. In the days to come, Jiang Han will continue to fight for justice and make contributions to the heavens. His story will continue to be passed down in this mysterious Panlong world.

In the mysterious world of Panlong, the Netherworld Mountain in the underworld towers into the clouds, with three-colored clouds and mist lingering around the mountain, and the chains of heaven and earth entangled, full of mystery and danger. Jiang Han brought Lin Lei to the depths of Netherworld Mountain, and as soon as he landed, he met three men.

"Someone is here again!"

"Are you two here for the Netherworld Fruit as well?"

"This mountain is full of dangers. Since we have met by chance, why don't we travel together?"

Three men flew over, their eyes full of vigilance. At this moment, the system sounded in Jiang Han's mind, and the side quest was activated, requiring him to subdue the Nether Tree. Jiang Han's heart moved. He already had the Devil Fruit Tree, the Enlightenment Tree, and the Bodhi Tree in his sea of ​​consciousness, and now he would have another Nether Tree.

“Friends, your strength is not as it seems, right?” A young man with long silver hair and a very feminine look asked tentatively. In his perception, Jiang Han and Lin Lei were only level nine warriors, and the other did not even have a single fluctuation of divine power.

"If it's as it seems on the surface, do you think we can get here alive?" Jiang Han said with a smile on his face.

"That's true. How about we form a group?" The silver-haired young man seemed to be the leader of the three and made another invitation.

"What is the Netherworld Fruit you mentioned earlier?" Jiang Han looked at the three middle-level gods in front of him and became interested in the Netherworld Fruit in the side quest.

"Aren't you here for the Netherworld Fruit?" The silver-haired young man's expression changed.

"It wasn't before, but it is now." Jiang Han said with a smile.

The silver-haired young man pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and said, "Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you. This Nether Fruit is the treasure of Nether Mountain. Anyone who gets the Nether Fruit and eats it will become a higher god. At the same time, he will be received by the Lord God and become the Lord God's messenger! It is said that this Lord God is the most powerful one in the underworld, the Lord of Death!"

"Lord of Death? I seem to have some impression of him." After hearing the words of the silver-haired young man, Jiang Han's mouth curled up.

Linley’s face showed some confusion. He asked, “If the Netherworld Fruit is so powerful, why are there so few people looking for it in this mountain?”

"Not to mention that this mountain is full of dangers, not many people dare to come here. Besides, in three hours, the four masters of rules will judge the leader of the Jiang Clan, and they all went to join in the fun and watch the show. We don't have enough ghost money, so we stay here and try our luck." said the silver-haired young man.

"So that's how it is. Then do you know where this Netherworld Fruit is?" Jiang Han continued to ask.

“This Netherworld Fruit is erratic, but it is said that its energy fluctuations are…” Before Linley and the silver-haired young man finished their conversation, the surrounding space fluctuated, and then the scene in front of him changed.

"Is that it?" At this time, Jiang Han's voice sounded.

The silver-haired young man and his companions were stunned at first. After seeing the location of the mountain, their pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a deep surprise between their brows. They couldn't believe that in just a breath, they appeared on the top of the mountain from the mountainside! The Nether Mountain is very strange. There is a barrier on the mountainside, which is difficult to break even for ordinary upper gods. For this reason, very few people have reached the top of the Nether Mountain.

The three silver-haired young men took a deep breath. Just when they had calmed down their excitement and looked forward, their expressions twisted again, and became even more exaggerated: "Ghost...Ghost Fruit!"

"I'm not dreaming! It really is the Netherworld Fruit! We found it!" After the exclamation, the three silver-haired young men celebrated excitedly.

In front of us was an open area, with a short tree with extremely lush branches in the center. The tree was less than 30 meters tall, but its trunk was so thick that two adults couldn't wrap their arms around it. In contrast to its low height, it had tens of millions of branches, each of which was 100 to 200 meters long. Many branches stretched out from these extremely long branches, which resulted in such a short tree covering the area of ​​hundreds of meters around it.

The most eye-catching thing is the purple fruit slightly bigger than a fist growing on the three large branches above the tree canopy. It is approximately spherical, with a crystal clear surface, shining brightly, and emitting a misty mist.

“Master, I’ll go pick some fruit.” Linley said excitedly.

“Don’t be impulsive! This Nether Fruit is protected by a snake spirit!” The faces of the three silver-haired young men changed drastically. However, it was too late. By the time they finished speaking, Linley had already approached the tree.

Chi Chi Chi! The green leaves and branches of the tree trembled as if they were blown by the wind. Then, tens of thousands of green energy lights lit up. Looking closely, they were green snakes the size of a palm.

"This breath... run!" The three silver-haired young men sensed the breath of the green snakes, and fear instantly appeared on their faces. Any of these green snakes actually had a breath fluctuation that was no less than that of a lower-level god! If there were only a few dozen, it would be fine, and the three middle-level gods could still kill them, but now there are tens of thousands of them! (End of this chapter)
