Chapter 837: Chapter 856 Humble Emperor Fengdu

“Living person?”

As White Impermanence entered the gates of Fengdu City, Ye Xuan and Ye Yaoyue behind him also came into view, and upon seeing Ye Xuan, cries of astonishment arose among many ghost gods!

At the same time, a shocking event occurred that startled the Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals!

Fengdu Emperor’s face, originally cold as ice, began to melt, and his imposing visage unexpectedly displayed a smile. Without waiting for White Impermanence to lead Ye Xuan over, Fengdu Emperor strode briskly toward Ye Xuan, and his words fell into the ears of many ghost gods.

“Daoist Qingming visits Fengdu; I failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you won’t mind my negligence!”

As Fengdu Emperor spoke these words, he had already arrived in front of Ye Xuan. He lowered his posture with a respectful gesture, devoid of any Ghost Emperor’s authority, and looked at Ye Xuan with an extremely enthusiastic gaze.

“Daoist?”

As Fengdu Emperor’s words fell, it also elicited exclamations from many ghost immortals and Yin soldiers, and only then did they finally understand who Fengdu Emperor was welcoming!

Quasi-Saint, a true Quasi-Saint, a Quasi-Saint from Lingshan, perhaps an extremely formidable Quasi-Saint!

In these Three Realms of Heaven and Earth, those who can make Fengdu Emperor come out to meet them are extremely rare. Even ordinary Quasi-Saints have never received such treatment; only figures like the two Demon Emperors of the Demon Race or Minghe Ancestor could make Fengdu Emperor personally welcome them.

However, those present had never heard of anyone other than the two lofty Saints from Western Lingshan who could make Fengdu Emperor lower his stance so much.

In fact, these ghost immortals and Yin soldiers did not know that Ye Xuan, upon entering the Underworld, had already had an encounter with Meng Po from afar, and was acclaimed by her as the foremost below the Saint. So how could Fengdu Emperor not personally greet him at the door?

Moreover, if one observed carefully, they would notice Fengdu Emperor’s smile was accompanied by a clear expression of respect in his eyes, with no trace of the Ghost Emperor’s authority showing?

Regardless if it’s the Ghost Emperor, Immortals, or mere mortals, this world is as such; the strong are always revered. Even though Fengdu Emperor is a Quasi-Saint, he knows very well that facing Ye Xuan, he is not a match for him.

Because he witnessed firsthand how Huangquan Granny was defeated by Ye Xuan, and if it wasn’t for Meng Po’s timely intervention, Huangquan Granny would have perished with her soul scattered.

This is why Fengdu Emperor welcomed him here, not daring to show any disrespect. Offending Ye Xuan is definitely not what he wanted.

Looking at the Fengdu Emperor before him, Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered, revealing a hint of indifference at the bottom of them, being well aware of this old acquaintance’s temperament.

But now, having transformed into the Western Buddha, and with Fengdu Emperor showing courtesy, he naturally couldn’t be rude!

“Daoist Fengdu personally meeting me is truly an honor.” Ye Xuan clasped his hands together, softly reciting a Buddha’s name, giving off an impression of gentleness and warmth.

“Haha!”

Fengdu Emperor laughed heartily, “Daoist’s cultivation shakes the ancient and dazzling, and is the foremost Buddha of Lingshan. I’ve long heard that Lingshan is in Western Continent, saving lives, and have heard of Daoist’s great name for a long time, but have never had the chance to meet. That’s been a great regret for me. But today, Daoist visiting the Underworld, finally dispels my regret.”

“Daoist, please.”

Fengdu Emperor wore a smiling face with a discreet flattery hidden in it, making a gesture of invitation to Ye Xuan to return together to his dojo.

“Bold, how dare a mere ghost thing follow behind the Ghost Emperor?”

Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan and Fengdu Emperor were walking side by side, a Judge angrily rebuked Ye Yaoyue, causing her face to change.

Ye Yaoyue, in life, was in the Luotian Realm, but as a soul after death, was naturally fearful of the Underworld ghosts. Being rebuked by a Judge at this moment made her body freeze, and her spirit aura became extremely chaotic.

“This woman is destined to accompany me at my side, does Daoist Fengdu have any objections?”

Ye Xuan paused his steps, not glancing at the Judge, and his previously smiling face turned cold, his voice sinking low, causing Fengdu Emperor’s body to tremble. He instantly turned and glared viciously at the Judge, scaring him into bowing respectfully to Ye Xuan and saying, “I didn’t know this woman belonged to the Buddha, please forgive my ignorance, Buddha!”

“Hm!”

“Chief Clerk Wang, before I even spoke, you dared act so arrogantly. Do you wish to die?”

Fengdu Emperor’s face turned grim as he looked at Chief Clerk Wang with eyes filled with a terrifying murderous intent. Yet, this murderous intent dissipated helplessly from his eyes, as if Fengdu Emperor had some concerns.

“Forgive me, Your Majesty. I was just too impulsive, and would never be disrespectful to the Buddha.” Chief Clerk Wang laughed with a flattering sound, but his eyes showed no sign of fear.

“If it weren’t for Daoist Qingming visiting the Underworld today, which is a great day of joy for us, I would surely have destroyed your divine soul as a warning!” Fengdu Emperor spoke coldly, flicking his sleeve and ignoring the man.

“Forgive me, Daoist, the subordinate didn’t know manners, I’ll certainly teach him later.” Fengdu Emperor bowed to Ye Xuan with a look of shame on his face.

This scene caused Ye Xuan’s eyes to flicker, he couldn’t believe that such a small Underworld Chief Clerk would commit such an ignorant mistake.

Ye Yaoyue was clearly following him, even a fool could see the unusual relationship she had with him, yet Chief Clerk Wang deliberately pretended not to know and dared to reprimand, and Fengdu Emperor didn’t penalize him. There’s surely some unknown matter involved.

“No matter, the ignorant aren’t to be blamed.” Ye Xuan spoke calmly.

“Daoist, this girl probably just entered the Underworld. After all, she is a spirit body, and upon entering Fengdu City, if she hasn’t received judgment from the Life and Death Book, she carries no mark of the Underworld, what people call a wandering ghost. If Daoist wishes, why not let this girl stay by my side, becoming a ghost immortal in the Underworld as a rare opportunity?”

Fengdu Emperor had long known Ye Yaoyue’s identity, though wishing to eliminate all connected to Ye Xuan. However, as White Impermanence secretly informed him of the situation, Fengdu Emperor naturally had to use this chance to show goodwill to Ye Xuan.

Yet, Fengdu Emperor didn’t know that the person he wanted to flatter was also his most hated; if he knew Qingming Buddha was Ye Xuan, it is hard to say what his reaction would be.

Moreover, Fengdu Emperor had seen Ye Xuan’s means, firmly believing this emerging Qingming Buddha seemed gentle and compassionate, yet many Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals perished by his hand upon entering the Underworld, with Huangquan Granny almost dying.

Even though he couldn’t win this person over, he couldn’t offend him. If he displeased him and Ye Xuan acted against him, even he, the dignified Ghost Emperor, would be reduced to a joke.

Fengdu Emperor’s eyes shifted, looking at Ye Yaoyue with a smile, “Do not fear, young lady, although you are a Yin Spirit, I lack a Chief Clerk under my command. After today, I shall form a ghost immortal body for you, allowing you to become a ghost immortal under my command!”
