Chapter 957: Chapter 610: Reincarnation (4K)

Shi You stood to the side, his expression somewhat melancholic.

He was actually suppressed by this Demon Monarch with a single confrontation.

He had pounded his chest confidently before Houtu Earth Goddess, promising that with his protection, Zhang Jian would definitely be safe and sound.

It also seemed that he had arrived a bit late.

It took him a full three breaths to rush from the depths of the Secret Realm in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

He was still too complacent.

"Emperor, this matter is due to my negligence. I will immediately confess to Your Majesty Houtu and ask her to assign you a new protector!"

Shi You thought for a moment, then stepped forward to apologize.

This scene made many powerhouses of the Netherworld glance sideways.

Many of them were aware of Shi You’s identity.

He was the Palace Guardian God before Pingxin Hall, the Palace Divine General.

According to Shi You, he was actually assigned by Houtu Earth Goddess to serve as the protector of this Nether Moon Emperor.

A prestigious Underworld Daoist Monarch had become a protector for this Emperor.

Such honor made the other Emperors and Ghost Gods subtly change their expressions.

Zhang Jian smiled slightly, stepping forward to comfort Shi You.

"Marshal Shi, there’s no need to blame yourself like this. This matter occurred because that Demon Monarch was too cunning. Who would have thought that a prestigious Demon Monarch would be so insidious, disregarding her status!"

Shi You shook his head and said.

"Regardless, a mistake is a mistake. I will voluntarily confess to Your Majesty!"

Seeing Shi You’s solemn expression, Zhang Jian no longer persuaded him.

Shi You indeed came too late.

A full three breaths.

If it weren’t for the protection of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, an instant later he would probably have died by Zijing Demon Monarch’s techniques.

An old Demon Monarch had been secretly plotting all this time, truly terrifying.

Zhang Jian recalled the sudden danger earlier and felt chills in his heart.

At this moment, the figure of ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ descended from the void, Shi You slightly cupped his hands and immediately transformed into a ghostly light to depart.

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ eyed Zhang Jian for a moment, a strange smile appearing in his eyes.

"To be able to preserve your life in an assassination plotted by an ancient Demon Monarch, your destiny indeed is grand!"

Zhang Jian slightly cupped his hands and said.

"If it weren’t for Daoist Monarch’s intervention, I’m afraid it would have been difficult for me to escape that Demon Monarch’s plot!"

Zhang Jian spoke with a double entendre.

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ chuckled without speaking, and after casually comforting Zhang Jian, he said.

"Zijing Demon Monarch has been suppressed by my seat, but the Netherworld has always been mixed with dragons and fishes; you must still be vigilant and not give other Immortal Demons the chance to kill you!"

With a slight pause, he continued.

"However, since you bear a Supreme Treasure, coupled with great destiny and the protection of merit, it is very difficult for anyone to kill you unless you fall into your own desperate situation, or are extremely unlucky to meet a Demon Realm Demon Venerable!"

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ spoke with a smile, causing Zhang Jian’s mouth to twitch slightly.

He thought his luck shouldn’t be this bad.

After noticing ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ leaving, other Immortal Gods also came and went quickly.

However, the appearance of a Demon Monarch still alarmed the gods of the Netherworld; many Great Divine Ability Users made a conscious effort to strengthen patrols over their territories, and Fengdu City sent a special envoy to offer condolences.

Besides offering condolences, Fengdu City also dispatched strong individuals to thoroughly search the Netherworld.

This counted as a formal official stance.

But such searches were destined to find nothing.

Most Demon Path Powerhouses excelled in hiding, not to mention the intricately intertwined forces throughout the Netherworld.

Zhang Jian never expected to get any compensation from the Netherworld.

However, with the excuse of colluding with demons, he had a legitimate reason to deal with Rakshasa Ghost Emperor and Netherworld General Fa Yuan.

On a chosen day, after reporting to Fengdu Emperor, Zhang Jian publicly executed Rakshasa Ghost Emperor and Fa Yuan before the Nether Moon Eight Armies, grinding their bones to ashes as a deterrent to the many Ghost Gods, following which he openly reformed the Nether Moon Eight Armies.

Anyone who was disobedient was subdued by him with thunderous means.

Perhaps it was a matter of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, or due to the powerful divine techniques Zhang Jian exhibited during the assassination attempt, Taotie Ghost Emperor, Ice Mountain Ghost Emperor, and the other two Netherworld Generals obediently cooperated with the reform.

Zhang Jian also successfully grasped control over the Nether Moon Eight Armies.

Each of the Nether Moon Eight Armies had a hundred thousand elite ghost soldiers.

The eight armies represented eight hundred thousand elite ghost soldiers.

However, after taking charge of the entire Nether Moon Ghost Army, Zhang Jian found himself somewhat displeased upon uncovering the situation within.

The situation in the Nether Moon Eight Armies was severely inflated.

There were still cases of private sales of Netherworld ghost soldiers, even military equipment, and the people of the Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom.

Of the eight armies with eight hundred thousand elite ghost soldiers, at least four hundred thousand of them had been secretly sold by the Ghost Emperors and Ghost Kings within the Nether Moon Army.

Sold to other Netherworld Ghost Kingdoms, and even Immortal Gods in the Heterodox Sect.

This discovery left Zhang Jian furious.

He vigorously reformed each army, thoroughly investigating and identifying, and upon discovery of wrongdoing, immediately downgraded the Dao Practice of the Ghost Gods and threw them into the depths of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Among these were not a few middle and upper-tier Immortal Officials.

The aim was to ensure strict adherence to commands.

Such unhealthy trends were gradually curbed.

Next, the focus was on combating the behavior of selling citizens in the Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom.

Not just the Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom, Zhang Jian also met multiple times with the Nine Great Netherworld Emperors, discussing.

Implementing multiple joint laws, strictly combating those Ghost Gods who engaged in the trade of souls.

Anyone who overstepped was severely punished, sent to the Eighteen Layers of Hell to never be reincarnated.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jian also within the Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom, as well as the directly governed Nine Netherworld, selectively recruited elite ghost soldiers to replenish the Nether Moon Eight Armies.
