Chapter 290 A Declaration of War As Jiang Lin stepped onto the empty island, the auspicious cloud formed by the acre of mother earth energy that was originally floating above Jiang Lin's head also dissipated. At the same time, the light of the book on body-building techniques in Jiang Lin's spiritual platform completely went out. Moreover, Jiang Lin had a feeling that this Body Tempering Technique would never again shine with such magical light as it did just now. In other words, up to this moment, this volume of body-building techniques truly belongs to Jiang Lin, and no other existence can interfere with it. It wasn't like this before. Because above this body-building technique, there is a gaze from Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, not a thought, nor a consciousness or will, but just a glance cast down for a moment. Even so, with the blessing of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji's status, this moment of glance has already transcended time and space. This was an introduction. The Body-Forging Technique carried the gaze of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, and Jiang Lin came to the Hungry Ghost Realm with the Body-Forging Technique. Only in this way will the gaze of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji be activated and descend across time and space.

In the macroscopic time, this gaze exists all the time, but it only exists when Jiang Lin is in the hungry ghost realm with the body-tempering technique. The reasons are complicated, and it is difficult to describe them in a few words. For Jiang Lin, this was a good thing, because this gaze, as an introduction, combined with certain arrangements made by Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi on this sky island, gave birth to a auspicious cloud. The auspicious cloud is the manifestation of the principles of those with great supernatural powers. Even for ordinary great cultivators above the level of Golden Immortal, it is already a great fortune to have a ray of auspicious cloud. But Jiang Lin just produced a full acre of auspicious clouds. This is definitely not Jiang Lin’s own ability. No matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to do this. This acre of auspicious cloud is a blessing from Hou Tu Huang, the god of the earth. This was also the reason why Jiang Lin sighed to the six palace kings just now. There was no other reason, it was just because of the blessing of the auspicious cloud from Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, whose status was so high, and coupled with that glance that was cast down, Jiang Lin just now was simply the spokesperson for Hou Tu Huang Di Ji. It can even be said that if Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi wanted to, he could use this blessing to replace Jiang Lin's original mind and turn Jiang Lin into a complete puppet and fanatic of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi. Of course, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi would definitely not do this. Because if Hou Tu Huang Di had this idea, this blessing would have no chance of falling on Jiang Lin. Do you really think that the King of Fengdu and the King of Ziwei, who is his two sides of the same coin, are fake? You know, it is a bit difficult to rank the Four Imperial Gods in terms of strength, but the leader of the Four Imperial Gods must be Ziwei! However, even if Hou Tu Huang Di Ji did not have that intention, her status was too high. With auspicious clouds covering the sky and her gaze, Jiang Lin would be more or less affected by the emotions from Hou Tu Huang Di Ji. This influence was only superficial and had no effect on Jiang Lin's mood. What was manifested was Jiang Lin's regret and sorrow for the six palace kings. In fact, Jiang Lin himself also has some of this thought, but under the black law, he will not be swayed by emotions. It is not uncommon for the law to be above emotion, let alone in the most stringent, cold-blooded and ruthless black laws in the world. No matter what the reason was for the six palace kings to do such things, it is wrong, even if their starting point was right. But the black law will not look at whether you have a reason or not, it only looks at whether what you did is right or wrong.

The six palace kings betrayed the Heavenly Court and were disloyal to the Heavenly Laws. This has nothing to do with the Black Laws. That is the responsibility of the Palace of Justice. But in addition to this, there is also the violation of the six realms of reincarnation and the release of hungry ghosts in the hungry ghost realm. These two alone are not something that can be solved by the word death. Therefore, these six palace kings must die, or in other words, if they commit suicide, it would be a pardon outside the law. However, this favor was not given by Jiang Lin, but by his master, the Emperor of Fengdu. From the very beginning, when Jiang Lin took over the token that controlled the Fengdu troops from General Jiuyuan Shatong, the old man's arrangements began. Now, among the six palace kings, five except Emperor Song have committed suicide. Five of the Ten Kings of Hell have gone. King Yama carried Emperor Song, who was still suppressed by the Mother Qi of the Earth and wanted to commit suicide but was unable to do so. At this moment, the palace king was like a clay puppet, standing there in a daze, allowing King Yama to carry him and step onto the sky island. "Mage..." At this moment, King Yama suddenly spoke and called out to Jiang Lin who was walking in front. Jiang Lin turned around and saw King Yama with a complicated expression. He pointed at Emperor Song who was lying lifeless on the ground and said, "He wants to speak." Under the suppression of the Mother Qi of the Earth, Emperor Song was unable to speak, but his eyes were still able to move. King Yama had been his colleague for countless years and naturally knew what he meant. Hearing this, Jiang Lin walked to the side of Emperor Song, looked down at him, and said, "Think carefully. If you speak now, no matter what happens later, this judge will examine the black law and convict you." "If you wait, at least you can live until we leave the realm of hungry ghosts." Emperor Song blinked without hesitation, as if his life was not a life at all. Jiang Lin did not hesitate and waved his hand to release the Mother Earth Qi that was restricting Emperor Song. Although the gaze and blessing of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji have disappeared, Jiang Lin can still control some of the mother earth qi that was created before this with the help of the body-building technique. Upon seeing this, King Qin Guang and King Yama stood in front and behind Emperor Song, and poured the evil spirits of the underworld into him without reservation, sealing Emperor Song tightly. Although he already knew that his six colleagues did not betray him voluntarily, but were deceived by certain entities, which led them to do the wrong thing with good intentions and end up on a path of no return. However, under the black law, sin is sin and wrong is wrong. The necessary bans must be enforced at all. "call……" Emperor Song heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head from the ground with all his strength, tried to get closer to Jiang Lin, and whispered, "Even if I go through the eighteen levels of hell, it will be difficult to atone for my sins. I can die, I can accept any punishment, but..." As he spoke, his breathing became heavier, and he continued, "Don't let me die under the Mother Earth Qi of His Majesty Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi." "Please allow me to retain my last bit of dignity." Jiang Lin said calmly: "This judge will investigate the black law, and you will only die under the black law." "Thank you."

Although these words were more terrifying than hell, Emperor Song thanked Jiang Lin earnestly, and then, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Your Majesty, nothing happened, right?" Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said, "His Majesty Hou Tu Huang Di Ji is indeed missing. Only a few people know about this." "After you leave, the first thing you should do is go to Fengdu and pay homage to the Emperor. Keep your mouth shut." The second half of the sentence was said by Jiang Lin to King Yama and the other four palace kings. The four palace kings all bowed in response, but their movements were a little sluggish. Although he had guessed some facts through the fragmentary words of Emperor Song and others, he still couldn't help but feel confused when he heard Jiang Lin admit it in person. The light in Emperor Song's eyes dimmed a little, and he murmured to himself: "It's good enough if he just disappears, it's good enough if he just disappears..." He is not blind. The Mother Qi of the Earth that Jiang Linyu used just now is the power of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji. Even the Great Celestial Lord cannot mobilize Hou Tu Huang Di Ji's power without her consent. No one in the three realms can do this. Therefore, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji was just missing and there were no other difficulties. At least he could still project his power over. At the same time, this also proves that he and the other five palace kings were indeed deceived. And I was deceived badly. "Tell me about your business, what you know, and why you do it." Jiang Lin asked. Upon hearing this, Emperor Song laughed miserably and said, "It's very simple. Someone found me and produced evidence to prove that Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi has been plotted against." "… was plotted against by the Emperor of Fengdu and the Emperor of Ziwei." After these words were spoken, King Yama and others widened their eyes. how can that be! King Yama subconsciously wanted to refute, but seeing that Jiang Lin had a blank expression on his face, he did not say anything. Everything that Emperor Song knew was false, or it was what the mastermind wanted Emperor Song to know. So there was no need to refute it at this time, just listen. "The Great Celestial Venerable has passed away, or to put it bluntly, he has temporarily lost his position." "As the deputy monarch of the Three Realms and the head of the Four Heavenly Emperors, Emperor Ziwei is the closest to the position of the Heavenly Emperor." "Moreover, the two emperors Changsheng and Gouchen are nowhere to be seen. The only emperor who can be confirmed and will never make a mistake is Hou Tu Huang Dizhi." "If Emperor Ziwei really wants the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, in order to seize the highest level of power, it would be the best choice to first attack Hou Tu Huang Di." "After all, we still have Fengdu Emperor. Even if something happens to Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, the underworld won't be in turmoil. At most, Fengdu Emperor will move his seat from Fengdu to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. As for us ghosts and gods, it's just a matter of replacing a group of them." "If the Purple Star Emperor takes action, how can we resist?" The voice of Emperor Song continued to ring out, but the only response he received was silence.

It must be said that Emperor Song’s analysis does make sense. The Four Great Emperors are below the Great Celestial Lord and are in charge of the three realms, the myriad stars, the myriad thunders, the myriad soldiers, and the myriad lands. If you want to seize the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, you must first seize this part of power. Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi is indeed the first target. All the power of the stars and the earth is in the hands of one person. At that time, even if the two emperors Changsheng and Gouchen appeared and joined forces, they would not be a match for Emperor Ziwei. What's more, Emperor Gou Chen himself is the brother of Emperor Ziwei. And once, the power of stars, thunder, weapons, and the earth are all in his hands, it is almost natural to take advantage of the loss of the Great Celestial Venerable's position to further control all gods and spirits and possess the power of the Emperor of Heaven. "That makes sense." Jiang Lin couldn't help but nodded, but with a hint of mockery on his lips, he said: "But you ignored the thoughts of Emperor Ziwei himself." Yes, given the current structure of the Three Realms, it seems that as long as Emperor Ziwei wants, it is not too difficult to advance to the position of Heavenly Emperor. There are even some conspiracy theories that perhaps since he split up from the Northern Emperor and descended to Fengdu, the Emperor of Ziwei had already been planning to target Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi. If the Emperor of Ziwei is willing. But now it seems that the Emperor Ziwei has no intention of interfering with the power of the Emperor of Heaven. Instead, he has placed this part of the most honorable, precious and important power in the Three Realms safely in the Lingxiao Palace, and it is managed by Yang Jian, the descendant of the great Heavenly Emperor. The Young Lord of Heaven was the one who was supported by the Emperor Ziwei and is in charge of Lingxiao's affairs. In fact, at the beginning, the gods' original intention was to have Ziwei Emperor himself act on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, but Ziwei Emperor refused decisively. Until now, no decree would be issued from Ziwei Palace unless it was necessary, giving Yang Jian, the young prince of heaven, the greatest freedom to act. Even if there was an imperial decree, it would not be given to Beiji, but directly to Yang Jian, who would decide whether to implement it. That's why Jiang Lin laughed mockingly. "Do you think everyone is you?" Emperor Song laughed strangely. He was destined to die, so there was no need to be polite in front of Jiang Lin: "You know these things, how do we know?" "Do you really think that heaven and the underworld are one and the same?" "We were deceived, and the responsibility is of course on us. Our sincere heart is nothing more than a private affection that cannot be taken out in front of Hei Lu." "but……" Before Emperor Song finished speaking, Jiang Lin interrupted him: "Who is the mastermind behind this?" "Who put the so-called evidence in front of you?" Jiang Lin had no interest in listening to Emperor Song's complaints. He had no qualifications and no obligation to defend himself. The most important point now, in addition to figuring out why Emperor Song and others rebelled, is who put this false evidence in front of them that made the six palace kings have no doubts. "Yes……" Emperor Song's smile became more and more strange, and he whispered, "A thought from the Emperor Hou Tu."

Jiang Lin frowned. "Yu Qin! At this point, you still want to talk nonsense!" King Yama roared angrily and even called out Emperor Song's real name. He stared in disbelief, knowing full well that there was no need for Emperor Song to lie at this point. But, what does it mean, it is a thought of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji? Could it be that the Mother Earth Qi just now was fake? "You doubted it?" Jiang Lin asked softly. If it was really a thought of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji that gave Emperor Song the so-called evidence, no, this thought itself was the biggest evidence. But if this is true, why did Emperor Song and others repent just now? A thought is much more credible than a glance or an energy. “I dare not not believe it, I cannot not believe it.” Emperor Song said in a sad tone, "Of course we doubted its authenticity, but what if?" "If this is true, the underworld will be in turmoil, and the entire six realms of reincarnation will be affected. The consequences will be much more serious than the death of a few palace kings." Upon hearing this, King Yama let out a breath and said, "So you are using your own life to verify the truth?" Emperor Song did not answer, but looked at Jiang Lin and said, "We didn't want to believe it, but under the guidance of that thought, we really opened the hungry ghost path and released a group of hungry ghosts." "Who else in the world can open this door except Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi?" This rhetorical question silenced everyone present, including Jiang Lin. After a long while, Jiang Lin asked, "Why did that thought make you release the hungry ghosts?" Emperor Song raised his head and even struggled to straighten his body. He slowly knelt in front of Jiang Lin and straightened his clothes. Then, he said, "That thought said that she had invested too much karma in the six realms of reincarnation, and she must take back this karma in order to resist the erosion of Emperor Ziwei on her." "She also said that there is no need to worry about releasing a group of hungry ghosts that will be detrimental to the six realms of reincarnation. This is just an image. Only by opening a hole in the hungry ghost realm can she take back all the cause and effect and gather all the power." "and……" Emperor Song looked at Jiang Lin, suddenly smiled, and said: "That thought also said that the hungry ghosts that were released would be dealt with by someone, and they would be dealt with very well, without any trouble." Hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin lowered his eyes, a small knife as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in his hand, and his eyes were dark. "Anything else to say?" Emperor Song shook his head slightly. The next moment, the Zhansha, which represented the first of the three evil techniques of the Black Law, stabbed into Emperor Song's heart. On his deathbed, Emperor Song heard Jiang Lin's voice. "From the perspective of the Black Law Mage, your death was not unjust at all."

"However, Jiang Lin has received great favor from the Earth God and has been able to inherit the Dharma. I should respect him as a half-teacher." "Based on this cause and effect, Jiang Lin will bear your vengeance." A ray of light suddenly flashed in the Song Emperor's already gray and withered eyes, and then disappeared completely. Jiang Lin watched as Emperor Song was cut into pieces and his soul was shattered. The three sentences just now were spoken by Jiang Lin through Zhansha, and only Emperor Song could hear them. Watching the meaningless ashes of Emperor Song being collected by King Yama, Jiang Lin turned around and walked silently towards the depths of the sky island. Jiang Lin's eyes were lowered, but there was anger in them. Although he still doesn't know who is the mastermind behind the scenes, Jiang Lin has already received the other party's "declaration of war". The declaration of war was delivered with the lives of six palace kings. Or rather... provocation. (End of this chapter)
