"Really killed just like this?"

On Da'ai Mountain, the State Preceptor suddenly widened his eyes, seeing the Tenth Incense Stick he had lit already broken in mid-air.

The barren incense stem seemed to represent something, revealing a shocked expression on his face.

It was as if time had turned back to twenty-four years ago, when he first learned of Lao Junmei and others' plan to annihilate the entire Du Yi Dynasty and even sever its bloodline. They were just as decisive and swift.

And he himself was equally shocked.

At this time, shouldn't Hu Ma first secure his path back to the human world and consider what if he had to confront the Netherworld Palace, and what to do then?

But he didn't expect Hu Ma to be so straightforward, first finding the opportunity to kill an Emperor Ghost of a hall. In doing so, the ties of karma were too deep, meaning he had entered the Netherworld Palace without a chance to exit this dream...

Even if he forcibly woke up, the ghosts in the Netherworld Palace would cling to him.

In the Netherworld Palace, the most vicious and brutal of the Founding Emperor and the Emperor of Chaos hadn't even appeared yet, how could he already gamble himself in?

Thinking about these, the State Preceptor only felt a heaviness in his heart.

It was as if seeing a brilliant move in a game of chess, now suddenly making a fierce and resolute, yet too irrational move.

Hating why he wasn't the one to play this game, otherwise he would never make such an impulsive mistake.

...

...

"The crime of regicide deserves the extermination of nine generations!"

"Those who commit regicide are abandoned by heaven and detested by earth!"

In the Netherworld Palace, watching Hu Ma slay the Emperor Ghost of the Tenth Hall with one stroke, all around the civil and military officials, court maids, and the Emperor Ghost of the Ninth Hall who descended upon this place, naturally felt fear.

But beyond this fear, they all focused their attention on Hu Ma. In their eyes, there was anger and shock, but more importantly, disgust.

The greatest crime in the world is regicide!

In this world today, regicide is unprecedented, deserving the extermination of nine generations, abandoned by heaven and detested by earth, forever documented in history as a crime to be reviled.

In the past two hundred years, the world has seen two people who committed regicide, one of whom was Lao Junmei.

But after all, he was a reincarnated evil spirit, not receiving the grace of this world, and also engaged in evil demon matters. Moreover, after he committed such acts, he met a miserable end where his soul shattered, considered as deserved punishment.

And now Hu Ma, is truly a person of this world, and his ancestors received imperial favor, yet he committed regicide.

How dare he wield this sword?

The descendant of a mere petty official, how dare he, under the eyes of all, commit such treasonous acts?

"Yes, I am a regicide."

Facing the shocked and angry gazes of the entire hall, Hu Ma seemingly sneered, throwing the head in his hand onto the ground. Facing those endless eyes of disbelief, he slowly raised his foot...

Then, stepped on the head of this Emperor Ghost.

Faced with the madness of the entire hall, Hu Ma's face showed only a cold sneer, speaking with grimness: "The biggest problem in this world is that there are too few people like me who commit regicide..."

"Otherwise, why need borrow the reasoning of outsiders to initiate this massacre?"

"If there is a massacre in the human world, in my dreams too, I want to slay the Emperor Ghost. This indeed is the first time it's happened, but it's also something that someone in this world has already done."

"..."

"Audacious!"

Seeing this scene, the yin souls in the hall scattered, countless faces displayed anger and despair, their cries of pain and fury seemed palpable, shaking the ceiling.

Slaying the head of the Emperor, trampling it underfoot, such rebellion was unseen in ancient times or now.

The Netherworld Palace is the burial place of emperors, emphasizing the hierarchy. Hu Ma's action was far more piercing than slaying the Emperor Ghost of the Tenth Hall right before their eyes.

"You are the ones being audacious!"

Suddenly, Hu Ma exerted force under his foot, crushing the Emperor's head into pieces, grinding it on the ground.

Then he shouted sternly, rolling Purple Qi rising, swirling around him like a vortex, and his Dharma Form was growing stronger and more robust in this Purple Qi, appearing like the Evil Gods.

"Still dreaming of returning to the human world to enjoy its glory?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

His voice emerged grimly from the swirling Purple Qi: "Today, I didn't come to pave the bridge for you to return to the human world, I came to represent the human world, to collect a debt from you!"

Amidst his shout, the rolling Purple Qi suddenly parted to the sides, like a purple sea, creating a path for Hu Ma.

Transforming into the Dharma Form, the blue-faced tusked Hu Ma's gaze abruptly became fierce, charging straight at the full assembly of civil and military officers, sinister Evil Ghosts, wielding the Emperor's Great Saber, stirring layers of blood Qi, with paths of chilling coldness, covering the entire hall.

Under Hu Ma's blade, the screams were countless, no matter if you were a Prime Minister or a General, regardless of your erudition or status before life, under his blade, all like weeds were swept away, like a tiger in a flock of sheep.

Sizzling!

Where the blade swept, paper scraps flew, wooden racks shattered, all those with dignified official airs couldn't withstand under this blade light.

Worthless!

All worthless!

It truly authenticated that saying, when the living people of the human world open their eyes, there are no princes or ministers, only paper tigers!

"Quite daring..."

Not without crazed Evil Ghosts in the hall, furiously howling, pouncing at Hu Ma.

Even the Purple Gold Iron Armor General who just had a bloody confrontation with Little Hongtang, kicked Little Hongtang away, turned and charged in front of Hu Ma.
