The other Officials couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately slammed their hands on the arm of the chair, a loud explosion resounded, indicating their rage.
“Shut your mouth! How can you, you arrogant who treats the sky as an equal, dare speak in such a way! Your misdeeds were like water in the ocean, it is not yet our turn to judge you, and you dare to criticize our methods of doing things?"
"Wait... wait... wait! I feel wronged!" said Binh An, waving his hands. "Your grace! I was born with a casually straight-forward personality, "I call a spade a spade" and absolutely do not favor euphemism, much like all of your grace sitting high above, who did not hold back on calling out the misdeeds of the two souls earlier without batting an eye. Why would you reprimand me for doing the same thing? I should have been praised for my forthrightness and honesty instead!"
“Yours is no ordinary mouth! In this circumstance, you are the fish on the cutting board, and we are the blade, a single stroke can cut off your head completely, so fast that you can not even close your eyes in time. Do you still stand there and dare to bark nonsense?"
Binh An suffered directly from the insults of the Officials, yet his face remained unwavering. In fact, on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy making these people furious. He finally got a hold of them, swiftly fixed his previous fake pathetic posture, sniggered, and said arrogantly.
"I had expected you all to deny it at least a little bit, but you have overruled none of the accusations against you, probably because the swearing...are all true. Is it possible that I really hit the nail on the head?"
A judge finally had enough, pounded the chair harshly, "BANG!”, making the entire lobby swing violently, the ice sheets straining to adhere to the ceiling couldn't hold up, plummeted down, generating tremendously loud noise, one piece glided, passing precisely in front of Binh An, mirroring his arrogant expression.
"YOU LOWLY!" The Officials grind their teeth, and turn to the Yin Ti Emperor.
"There is no need to judge anymore, your Majesty, this thug is arrogant and self-centered, who thinks Heaven and Earth to be equals as himself, dare disregard Yin Ti's regulations, despises us, the Officials, and despises even the Underworld Emperor, the Supreme. Please give out the order, take this lowly "thing" away, send him to the Depths of Hell, have his body boiled, then strip his skin, and have his tongue and teeth pulled out, make him taste the true suffering, and teach him what respect is!”
"Here we go again! I'm the one facing a trial, there is no need for you to act whiny and throw a tantrum like that!
It's just that I think...the Underworld's power people can only rely on one book to conclude everything and can't even decide for themselves. Then what is the point of you all sitting here? What role do you play? Just let the books do the work already, such a waste of one's time, this is so pathetic, those two little nameless souls earlier didn't submit, therefore, I don't either!"
When the Yin Ti Emperor heard this, it was as though Binh An had just touched his “inverted dragon scales”. He couldn't maintain his composure and crushed the edge of the seat, summoned the staff in his hand, and pointed straight at Binh An's face.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
His hand still shaking from rage, he growled word by word, using a thunderous voice.
"Binh An! Binh An!" I simply cannot handle you! What a real pain! Like dust in my eyes. Today I must subdue you, make you kneel to serve me, and lick my shoes like an obedient dog!"
"Your Majesty! Please, take it easy! Don’t make your hands dirty. Let's us take care of him!"
However, The Underworld Emperor ignored the attempt to dissuade him from the Official, he appeared to be lost in hatred with no way out and proceeded to curse at Binh An.
“Every single time! It's still you! You are still thwarting my plans! You! You! You dared to wipe away all of my followers…” Word by word, the Yin Ti Emperor hissed, his teeth grinding.
“Wait, I was inadvertent…” Binh An interrupted the accusation.
“You still dare to talk back, you dared to claim that you accidentally killed a bunch of people?” The Underworld Emperor braced his shoulders and roared angrily.
“Wait! I must correct you on this one. Those people...I did intentionally kill, but accidentally happened to be your followers.”
"Insolence! Insolence!"
The Underworld Emperor was enraged, darkness covered his entire body, no one could see his face clearly, but his tone and agitation showed it all.
He growled like a wolf that wanted to rush in and kill his prey at any time, extending his shaky palm and aiming right at Binh An's face.
“…It's really hard to get rid of you, at that time, I was convinced that the Silver Soul would have killed you, yet, in the end, you're still able to mess around…
“...How could you hold such power even when becoming a mortal? What can I do to get rid of you...?" The Underworld Emperor was muttering to himself when he abruptly ended his diatribe, then his eyes glittered as if he had discovered something important, before continuing to talk and laugh madly.
"No! What am I going mad about? Now, you JUST a little lowly soul, I am the Underworld Emperor, you are no threat to me, I should not be afraid of you, I possessed such unmatched power that right here, right now, I can give you a broken soul instantly, never to be born again, I can cause you to rot in the Depths of Hell, while I watch you from above and listen to your screams until your throat tears apart…
…Right! I am The Yin Ti Emperor, the Supreme ruler of this place, the one who decides all the fates of you cockroaches, no one can stop me, no one can judge me now!!!”
The fire of anger in the Underworld Emperor could not be extinguished, leaving not just Binh An speechless but also the Officials afraid to move.
Binh An had the immediate impression that he had offended a lot of people. He was chased and killed while living in the mortal realm, and now, the Underworld wished to erase his existence as well, there's nowhere to take refuge, it was too pathetic. Binh An naturally felt sorry for himself.
The Underworld Emperor did not wait for Binh An to say any other word, immediately shouted.
"What are those idiots waiting for?" The Emperor sent orders to the Devils from the Depths of Hell, his thundering voice shook the palace, tearing the ground below. "I want him torn to pieces! Crush him in your teeth! Swallow him whole! If there are any pieces, any mince, any crumbs left over, call in the hounds to feed them, leave nothing behind!"
The Officials split into two distinct factions, one side tried to calm The Underworld Emperor down as they were concerned, while the other one laughed hysterically, extremely satisfied to see the upcoming chase. Both sides were all busy with their own business.
Binh An also did not have time to stand around and play, because once the command struck down, the demons began to appear, tore the ground like an orange in half, and raised their own bodies up out of the scalding, boiling lava. Once they emerged from the ground, they screeched, let out a scream of terror, before rushing headlong into Binh An.
