The sound of cracking emanated from various places on the lava ground, as one Shura Emperor after another with a terrifying aura emerged from the underground.
In just a few breaths, five additional Shura Emperors appeared.
The weaker ones were in the First Layer, while the stronger ones were in the Sixth Layer.
In total, seven gigantic Shura Emperors intercrossed to encircle them, blocking their path.
As the Eleventh Layer continued to crumble, this place would soon merge with the Hell Realm, and even more Shura Emperors would come.
The Tiger Head Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor crossed his hands in front of his chest, overlooking them with his massive moon-like eyes, and said grimly:
"Making trouble in our Hell Realm, you won’t be going back!"
The Nine Nether Demon Venerable and the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable had a solemn look; if a fight broke out, they would be at a disadvantage.
Once reinforcements from the Hell Realm arrived, they might end up staying in the Hell Realm.
The Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable clasped his hands together and said: "This poor monk has come to protect the Supreme Ancient Saint and does not wish to cause slaughter."
"But, if you insist on battle, this monk will accompany you."
He removed the Buddha Beads around his neck, and a magnificent temple gradually emerged behind him, with endless Buddha statues faintly visible within.
The Hell Realm’s Shura Emperors swept their gazes over the three, their eyes carrying hints of apprehension.
Especially when their gaze fell on the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, the look of apprehension deepened.
If a real fight ensued, they might not come off well.
Yet, at this moment, the Asura Saint Son’s eyes flashed sharply, saying: "Do not let them go."
"Especially the human named Jiang Fan, he has the Peace Monument on him!"
Hmm?
The Shura Emperors’ eyes simultaneously emitted a frightening light, and the Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor glared angrily at Jiang Fan with a smile:
"So!"
"You’re the one who summoned our Hell Realm Master’s avatar without offering tributes, making a profit instead, the Little People Clan!"
Eh?
The expressions of the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, Nine Nether Demon Venerable, and Heavenly State’s Great Sacrifice hardened for a moment.
They all looked towards Jiang Fan, eyes full of astonishment.
The Hell Realm Master was taken for a ride by Jiang Fan?
The Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable suddenly felt relieved about "senior, wait a moment," as the Realm Master had also been skinned a little by him, why should he be surprised that a Buddha Venerable like himself was conned by Jiang Fan?
Facing the astonished gazes of the three sages, Jiang Fan remained calm and composed, saying:
"Seniors, don’t listen to his nonsense, nothing of the sort happened."
Thud!
The Seven-Prisons Shura Emperor stomped a foot, trampling a vast area, his sheep face crammed together, full of ferocity:
"Still lying? Our Other Shore Realm Master cursed you within the whole Hell Realm for three days and nights!"
The whole Hell Realm?
Could it be akin to how the ancient saint of Yunhuang announced his Divinity Transformation, notifying every corner of the Central Earth?
And for three full days throughout the Hell Realm?
Jiang Fan’s face turned green, retorting angrily: "That vile woman, didn’t I just take a Cause and Effect and Merit Divine Stele from her? Then not to mention a Breaking Boundary Device."
"Does she have to curse me like this in front of the entire Hell Realm?"
"Simply outrageous!"
If he had known she would tarnish his reputation so much, Jiang Fan wouldn’t have returned the World Artifact to her!
If he can survive and return, he’ll use the Dog Bowl to retrieve the Book of Life and Death!
The trio of Nine Nether Demon Venerable turned to stone again.
What’s this?
He even tricked the World Artifact out of them?
Is this something achievable by someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm?
"Humph!" The Tiger Head Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor laughed angrily: "And you say the Other Shore Realm Master bullies too much?"
"Fine, since you have arrived, don’t think of leaving!"
"Hand over the Peace Monument and obediently follow us back to the Hell Realm, and we’ll spare the others!"
The faces of Nine Nether Demon Venerable and others turned cold, simultaneously protecting Jiang Fan behind them.
Yue Mingzhu hurriedly activated the Emperor’s Gaze Technique, watching the fate and fortune with his nine-colored eyes, and relaxed a little upon seeing.
Although the current situation was urgent, it didn’t show signs of extremely low fate, an omen of great misfortune.
Indeed.
