My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 783: I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go



As soon as these words came out, Meng Shuang and Zhao Wenhe’s expressions changed.

Ghost Lord looked at Shentu and narrowed her eyes slightly

In the Netherworld, there is an ancient pillar called the Netherworld Pillar, which has existed since the birth of the Netherworld. If a person is bound to the Netherworld Pillar with chains, it will attract fierce cosmic winds that can obliterate even those in the transcendence realm.

This is the punishment of ‘Hades’.

This kind of punishment is aimed at those who have caused great damage to the Netherworld. During the chaos of the Netherworld, almost all those who betrayed died under the punishment of ‘Hades’!

Shentu’s words made it clear that he was calling for the life of the Southern Ghost Emperor!

Meng Shuang spoke up, “The truth has not been revealed yet, how can we resort to such a punishment? Besides, in this time of turmoil in the Netherworld, every top-level martial artist is indispensable. I think…”

Before she could finish her words, Shentu interrupted, “The scenes projected by the black sand are not fake. As for the top-tier combatants, this combat power is clearly hostile, and it must be dealt with early to resolve future troubles.”

“Moreover, this matter has already spread among the people of the Netherworld, and everyone is outraged. Only by imposing the punishment of ‘Hades’ on the Southern Ghost Emperor can we quell the anger of the masses.”

Meng Shuang was shocked, “How can you spread such a major matter before the Ghost Lord has reached a conclusion?”

The Ghost Lord’s brow furrowed as well.

Shentu glanced at Meng Shuang: “I didn’t spread the news. I guess it was because the paper couldn’t contain the fire after all. Others could have found out about it and spread it from person to person. ”

How could anyone present believe such words?

In Meng Shuang’s view, this was clearly Shentu’s way of pressuring the Ghost Lord.

Shentu didn’t care, he just clasped his fists and said, “At this critical moment of life and death for the Netherworld, we need to be united. As for how to deal with the Southern Ghost Emperor, I ask the Ghost Lord to think twice.”

The grand hall fell silent for a moment, as if you could hear a pin drop.

The Ghost Lord asked calmly, “What is Zhou Qi’s opinion?”

“I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.” Shentu did not hesitate.

Meng Shuang looked shocked, and then looked at Zhao Wenhe. The latter came here with Shentu, so he must know the ins and outs of the matter.

She hoped this was just Shentu’s one-sided statement, but she saw Zhao Wenhao nodding solemnly.

It was all true. Meng Shuang furrowed her brows and looked at the Ghost Lord.

After a long silence, she finally exhaled and said, “I understand. In three days, the Southern Ghost Emperor will be taken to the place of the Netherworld Pillar and subjected to the punishment of ‘Hades’.”

“Ghost Lord is wise,” Shentu got the result he wanted and respectfully retreated.

Zhao Wenhao opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, just sighed, and then left with Shentu.

When the grand hall was left with only the Ghost Lord and Meng Shuang, she asked in confusion, “I don’t know why, but Shentu is obviously targeting the Ghost Emperor in the south. My lord, do you really intend to use the punishment of ‘Hades’?”

The Ghost Lord didn’t say much, simply waved her right hand, and the void shimmered, projecting an image.

Meng Shuang’s expression turned extremely ugly when she saw the scene in the projection.

Indeed, as Shentu had said, the people of the Netherworld had already learned about Father Qin’s situation, and each of them was filled with righteous indignation, wishing to kill him immediately.

In such a situation, if the Ghost Lord were to forcefully protect him, it would surely backfire.

Meng Shuang thought of Qin Feng, but hesitated to speak. She knew that the Ghost Lord and Qin Feng had a good relationship. How would Qin Feng feel if his father were to be killed?

After a moment of contemplation, the little girl spoke up, “Since the punishment of ‘Hades’ is to be imposed, the place of the Netherworld Pillar must be guarded carefully.”

“Pass on my orders to send Li Yang and his ghost army to guard the Netherworld Pillar. Anyone who intrudes should be directly suppressed. As for the execution of the punishment of ‘Hades’, it will be three days from now.”

Meng Shuang’s eyes brightened after hearing this. In the current Netherworld, the number of people Ghost Lord could trust completely would not exceed five, and Li Yang happened to be one of them.

When the Ghost Lord was revived, her soul had been dormant for thousands of years, and she seemed to have lost her memory. She was no different from a child. It was then that she encountered Li Yang, who had fallen from the broken realm to the Netherworld.

Li Yang led the ghost army to escort her until the Ghost Lord regained her memory.

The friendship during this period was not something that could be easily severed.

And Li Yang and the Southern Ghost Emperor both came from the broken realm and were old acquaintances. The Ghost Lord’s actions clearly had a deeper meaning.

“I understand. I will arrange it,” Meng Shuang said.

With such great commotion in the Netherworld, how could Li Yang not have heard about it? Just as he was anxiously wondering how the Ghost Lord would deal with Qin Jian’an, Meng Shuang’s words were like a bolt from the blue.

“The punishment of ‘Hades’?!”

He had arrived in the Netherworld much earlier, and with the Ghost Lord’s care, he had come to understand many things.

This kind of punishment was aimed at those who committed heinous crimes in the Netherworld, but he had never expected it to fall on someone he knew.

“Yes, under the command of the Ghost Lord, you are required to lead the ghost army to guard the place of the Netherworld Pillar and execute the punishment three days from now!”

After leaving these words behind, Meng Shuang turned and left.

But as she left, she also speculated about the Ghost Lord’s intentions.

After pondering for a long time, she was still clueless. After all, Li Yang’s strength was not top-notch. Even though he had a vast number of ghost soldiers under his command, they would be of no use against such a power gap.

After reporting this message, using the Ghost Lord’s black jade, she entered the Abyssal Prison and saw Father Qin, who was imprisoned by the void chains.

Father Qin raised his head with a calm expression.

Meng Shuang couldn’t bear it and said, “Under pressure from Shentu and others, the people of the Netherworld are deeply resentful. The Ghost Lord is helpless and has decided to impose the punishment of ‘Hades’ on you three days from now.”

Father Qin had heard of this terrifying punishment, although he didn’t know the details, he understood that it meant certain death.

With all the sudden changes, Father Qin, with his experience, could see some clues. He had been caught up in a vortex and had become a meaningless sacrifice.

Even if he wanted to turn things around, what waves could he make as a prisoner?

He spoke lightly, “I understand. Don’t tell Feng’er about this.”

In the courtyard of the Qin residence, Qin Feng felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if something significant was about to happen.

“Could it be that the matter of secretly going to the palace to meet Anya was found out by my two wives?”

But he couldn’t blame himself entirely. The imperial decree for the marriage had already been received, and the auspicious day was set for the beginning of next month. He couldn’t just ignore Anya completely during this period, could he?

Shaking his head to dispel these vexing thoughts, Qin Feng pondered the current situation. Many things left him uncertain.

The disruption of the balance between life and death was causing increasingly profound effects, yet the human race had not found a way to breach the barrier.

Those elusive individuals, after their failed actions in the Western Extremity, had completely disappeared without a trace, which was deeply unsettling.

Previously, he could still communicate with Senior Xuan Yi and seek guidance for the path ahead. But now, Senior Xuan Yi seemed to have vanished completely from his Divine Sea, as if not present at all.

Suddenly, Qin Feng remembered something and slapped his forehead. “I almost forgot to send offerings to the Ghost Lord. Maintaining good relations with such a big shot is crucial, and I still need to rely on her to take care of my father below.”
