Yue Yu is dead.
Emperor Yama was devastated, as if a piece of his heart had been cut out by life.
The four ghosts of Yan Tian returned in vain, but they only brought back Zhou Jue's headless body. When Emperor Yan learned that Yue Yu had died without a body, he was so angry that he almost tore down the palace hall.
Of course, Zhou Jue's death also made him extremely heartbroken.
Because Zhou Jue was one of the ten most capable generals under his command, to him, Zhou Jue's death was like having one of his fingers broken off.
"Is it possible that Luo Yao came back?"
After the anger, Emperor Yama calmed down and asked the four ghosts of Yantian with a gloomy face.
"It's very possible." Yan Tian nodded in response, "Zhou Jue is so dead that he has almost no power to fight back. Among our enemies, only Luo Yao has the strength to completely suppress Zhou Jue."
"No!" Emperor Yan waved his hand, "Zhou Jue's fighting power is extraordinary. I dare not say that I can completely suppress him, and Luo Yao certainly can't do it. The reason why Zhou Jue has no power to fight back is... I'm afraid that the other party is using the princess. Make a threat, and then wait for an opportunity to attack and kill him by surprise."
The four ghosts of Yantian were silent.
On the way back, they discussed this issue, and the final conclusion was similar to what Emperor Yama said. They also speculated that Zhou Jue was most likely held hostage by the enemy with Yue Yu's life. Otherwise, with his strong strength, even if he could not defeat the opponent, Escape is absolutely not a problem, and it is impossible to be easily killed by the enemy.
But they could only talk in private and did not dare to say it in front of Emperor Yama, otherwise they would blame Emperor Yama's daughter for killing Zhou Jue, which would be asking for trouble.
"Why--"
"It was my negligence that killed Zhou Jue. I must be responsible for his death."
Emperor Yama lamented, his words full of regret and self-blame.
"No wonder Emperor, the enemy is too despicable and shameless to dare to fight us openly, and will only use such shameful and dirty methods to plot against us." Taisha gritted his teeth.
Emperor Yan nodded, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of Yan Tian's four ghosts, and he said solemnly: "The fact that I can sit on the throne of Incheon City is all due to your sacrifice and bravery. You are just like The emperor's ten fingers are connected to the heart. If any one of them is broken, the emperor's heart will be as painful as a knife.
If a similar situation occurs again in the future, you must remember to put your own life first, and then consider other things.
Do you know that the lives of the princes and princesses are far less important in my heart than yours!
Zhou Jue died tragically, I cut off one of my fingers, my heart felt like a knife piercing it, it hurt! "
Yue Yu's death made him very sad, but he did not vent his anger and resentment on the four ghosts of Yantian. He did not even say a word of complaint or blame. Instead, he suppressed his sadness and took the opportunity to win over the feelings of the four ghosts of Yantian. .
After hearing the heartfelt words of Emperor Yama, the four ghosts of Yantian were really moved. They felt their hearts were burning, thinking that they were not with the wrong person.
"We swear allegiance to the Emperor to the death!"
"I am willing to charge into battle for the Emperor, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will never regret it!"
The four ghosts expressed their loyalty with sonorous words.
Emperor Yan was very satisfied with the loyalty of the four ghosts, and then changed the subject and said: "The person who killed Zhou Jue and the princess may not be Luo Yao..."
"Who could that be?" Yantian asked.
Emperor Yama recalled the scene at that time and thought of seeing the white tiger and the sky turtle, so he guessed: "Maybe they are the guardians of the sacred beasts. They came for the sacred beast of the flying snake. The white tiger, the sky turtle, and the flying snake are the three great saints. If all beasts can be used by this emperor..."
Thinking of the three holy beasts helping him protect the city, his eyes suddenly became hot, and the idea of snatching the holy beasts grew in his heart, and he got out of hand.
"Is there any way to lure them out and catch them all?"
"Hey, if I had known that they would come to rescue the Soaring Snake Holy Beast, I would have laid out traps long ago and waited for them to come. It's a pity that this opportunity was missed."
He said with a regretful expression.
"We can lie and claim to have captured other holy beasts to lure them back to rescue them." Tian Zhao came up with an idea.
Emperor Yan nodded and said: "This is indeed a way, but I am afraid that they will not dare to break into Incheon City again. It is better to say that a sacred beast was found in Badwater Swamp. We sent troops to capture it. After they learn the news, they will definitely go Badwater Swamp rescue, we set up traps in advance and wait for them to fall into the trap."
"This method is good." Yan Tian agreed.
Emperor Yan added: "At the same time, spread another news, saying that we have found the lair where Luo Yao and his remnants are hiding in the Badwater Swamp, and we are about to send troops to encircle and suppress it, to see if we can lure Luo Yao out, even if we can't. If you get him out, you will definitely be able to draw out some of his remnants."
"Killing two birds with one stone, the emperor is very clever!" Moro complimented.
Emperor Yama sent people to invite the other five Yamas to the main hall, discussed the plan carefully, and then put it into action.
Wei Yuan learned the news of Zhou Jue's death through the Nader Chamber of Commerce's intelligence channels, and became more and more wary of the four Zhang Xiaozu, but at the same time he also wanted to have a good relationship with the four of them and open up a business path in the world for the Nader Chamber of Commerce.
He knew that the four people came to the underworld to find an important person, so he concluded that the four people would not leave until they found the person, and would definitely try to find another way to find someone in the underworld of Incheon, so he left Incheon City and headed south to look for him. , I want to try my luck and see if I can find the four Zhang Xiaopeng.
In the end, he found it.
To be more precise, it was not him who found the four Zhang Xiaozu, but Zhang Xiaozu who found him first.
Zhang Xiaozu felt that it was very dangerous to rush into Incheon City to inquire about Niu Yao, so when he saw Wei Yuan returning to the caravan from Incheon Underworld, he immediately thought that Wei Yuan could help them inquire about Niu Yao, so he appeared in front of Wei Yuan.
"I would like to ask Mr. Wei for some news." Zhang Xiaozu said straight to the point.
"what news?"
"Inquire about a ghost named Niu Yao. He should be Taiwu's subordinate and a member of the black armored cavalry. Please help Mr. Wei to find out whether he is dead or alive."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Wei Yuan showed a troubled expression, "Ever since Emperor Yan captured Incheon City, he has been wiping out the remnants of Emperor Luo Yao. There are informants of Emperor Yan in every corner of the city, and Taiwu is The number one general under Emperor Luo Yao rashly inquires about Taiwu's subordinates. If Emperor Yan misunderstands him as the remnant of Emperor Luo Yao, it will be over. The Nader Company will never even think about setting foot in the underworld of Incheon again."
He said this, but in fact there was an independent intelligence network of Nader Company in Incheon, so it was not difficult at all to find out such information.
Wow!
Zhang Xiaozu didn't say much nonsense, poured out a large amount of treasures from the void space, and said: "This is the reward."
These treasures were obtained by robbing the White-faced Emperor and Zhou Jue. He had already picked out all the treasures that he and his team could use.
Wei Yuan was very excited, but he still shook his head calmly and said: "The risk is too great. Please forgive me for not agreeing."
"Mr. Wei is a businessman, and businessmen pursue profits. How dare you not do anything, as long as the benefits are not big enough, right?" Zhang Xiaozu asked with a smile.
Wei Yuan looked startled, then laughed dumbly. Zhang Xiaozu's words left him speechless to refute.
"Please give me a price, Mr. Wei."
Wei Yuan frowned, pretending to be deep in thought, and then said: "If you want me to take the risk of the business route being cut off and inquire about the news, you must have interests of equal value guaranteed. The business road is a business road from the underworld to the earth. Nader Company is willing to I will cooperate with you for a long time."
"Impossible!" Zhang Xiaozhu refused without even thinking.
