Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 400: Chapter 183: Emperor’s Carriage_2

But on the pitch-black city walls, marred with blotchy traces, Shen Yuan could feel the thick presence as if it were a barrier of the world, preventing the use of any flying methods atop the walls.

Even if a Spirit Refining True Being were to utilize the Sun God Dharma Image, it would be hard to shake these solid walls.

Outside the city walls, a large number of ghost soldiers clad in armor were patrolling back and forth, with many wandering evil spirits wishing to enter the city but were instead rejected at the gate.

Entering the city through conventional means would surely lead to discovery by those patrolling ghost soldiers and evil spirits.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

He had originally thought that Fengdu City would maintain an open state like the Ghost Market, yet the current situation treated the entire city as if it were a military fortress.

With Shen Yuan’s strength, forcefully entering the city would be no issue, but that would completely contradict his original purpose.

His initial plan was to leverage the Gods Purging Divine Power to pressure these Netherworld supernatural beings into quelling the turmoil, and forcefully taking action outside the city would inevitably expose his own foundation.

However, if he were to suppress these ghost soldiers and evil spirits with the Gods Purging Divine Power, it would be akin to an Emperor revealing his identity to a beggar while incognito, which would surely affect the persona associated with the title of Donghua Emperor.

If he could not maintain the persona of the Donghua Emperor, naturally he would also lack the ability to deter those Netherworld supernatural beings and the 10 Netherworld Commanders.

Various ideas flashed through Shen Yuan’s mind, but he rejected each one in turn.

And at that moment, a team of over a hundred people was swiftly approaching the majestic Fengdu City.

The team of cultivators, who had set off from Luoshan County City, slowly stopped before the gates of Fengdu City, having fallen over ten thousand wandering evil spirits along their path.

Under the innate suppression of the ghost emissaries over ghost objects, not a single person in the team of over a hundred had perished.

At the forefront of the team, the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger Esteemed Envoys exchanged glances before the White Tiger Esteemed Envoy stepped forward, his voice echoing outside of Fengdu City.

“Great Xia’s envoys seek an audience with the 10 Netherworld Commanders, wishing to discuss urgent matters with the Netherworld gods and deities!”

The patrolling ghost soldiers outside the gate of Fengdu City looked at the approaching team with grave eyes, especially when their gaze fell upon three Ghost Generals, showing a hint of fear.

These patrolling ghost soldiers remained silent, and above the city walls of Fengdu City, a Ghost General questioned loudly:Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Envoys from Great Xia? Could it be that Great Xia’s Imperial Court has agreed to the proposal of joint governance by gods and humans?”

At these words, a chilling laughter rose from atop the walls as if those Ghost Generals didn’t take the envoys below seriously at all.

A flash of anger crossed the eyes of the White Tiger Esteemed Envoy, but he suppressed his emotion and said:

“Joint governance by gods and humans has crossed the lines of Great Xia, it’s absolutely impossible.

As for other demands, the Imperial Court is willing to sit with the 10 Netherworld Commanders and other Netherworld deities to negotiate in detail.

Whether it be the position of the City God, Netherworld Treasure, or lands of the Yang World, all are within the scope of negotiation.”

The defending Ghost General seemed persuaded by the White Tiger Esteemed Envoy’s words, and murmurs began to rise from atop the walls. Seeing this, the White Tiger Esteemed Envoy couldn’t help but smile, but in the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

A rough voice sounded from the walls:

“Refusing joint governance by gods and humans? Then there’s nothing to discuss. Do you think we in the Netherworld lack treasures?

With joint governance achieved, all positions of City Gods will be under our Netherworld’s control.

As for the lands of the Yang World… heh, the whole Luoshan County has been incorporated into the map of the Yin World already. We in the Netherworld can have as much land as we desire.

Great Xia’s envoys are truly deceitful, actually trying to barter with us using what belongs to the Netherworld.”

The rough voice’s remarks immediately found agreement among the majority of the defending Ghost Generals.

“The Evil Slaughter Ghost General is right!”

“Our Netherworld can take whatever we want whenever we want, what right does Great Xia have to discuss with us?”

“If joint governance by gods and humans is enacted, I might even have a chance to become one of the Mansion City Gods, enjoying offerings from billions, and perhaps even ascend to the realm of immortality.”

“Humans are truly deceitful, attempting to entice us with such paltry gains. Fortunately, the Evil Slaughter Ghost General discovered this early on!”

The face of the White Tiger Esteemed Envoy turned a shade of pale green, yet he still called out loudly:

“This matter should be discussed by the 10 Netherworld Commanders and the Netherworld gods and deities. I fear you are not in a position to decide, please report to the 10 Netherworld Commanders.”

Upon the city walls, the voice of the Evil Slaughter Ghost General resounded again:

“Joint governance by gods and humans was proposed by the 10 Netherworld Commanders, and since you have refused it, they surely won’t wish to see you. It would be pointless for us to report.

You’d better roll back to Luoshan County and await the arrival of our Netherworld Legion!”

The White Tiger Esteemed Envoy finally could no longer remain calm and shouted up at the city walls:

“This is a matter for negotiation between the Great Xia Dynasty and the 10 Netherworld Commanders. If there’s a problem, can you, a mere Ghost General, bear the responsibility?”

Above the city walls, silence fell briefly, before a colossal Ghost General, ten zhang tall and huge like a mountain of flesh, stuck out its head, looming over those below including the White Tiger Esteemed Envoy.

With a cold gaze and a powerful oppressive force suddenly bearing down on them, the Ghost General spoke:

“You say you are envoys from the Great Xia Dynasty, so that makes you real envoys?

I now suspect you are imposters. Leave now before I change my mind, otherwise, I will let you experience the might of the Netherworld Laws!”
