Chapter 1596: One Word of Discord

Ye Liuyun, after striking the Mourning Bell nine times, received the Underworld's approval and became the true master of the Underworld.

Within an instant, information from the Nether Hell flooded into his mind.

He could even use his Divine Sense to observe what was happening in every corner of the Underworld.

The aura of the Underworld's ruler emanating from him instantly made all the Yin Souls within the Youming Dian kneel in reverence.

'Welcome the new lord of the Underworld!'

All the Yin Souls, in unison, saluted the newly appointed Underworld God.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun, having become the Underworld's master, knew what he should do.

He had not intended to become this Underworld God; he had planned to pass the role to Xiuluo.

But now, he could no longer abandon it.

The Mourning Bell is not something that can be rung casually.

If he does not die, or without his authorization, no Yin Soul in the Nether Realm can ring the Mourning Bell, Xiuluo included.

They cannot even move the Mourning Bell.

This Mourning Bell symbolizes the Underworld God's existence and his will.

If he now insists on handing the Mourning Bell to Xiuluo, it would truly plunge the Underworld into chaos.

All major factions would converge to vie for the Underworld God's position.

'I really have no idea which master originally brought this Mourning Bell out of the Underworld!'

Ye Liuyun shook his head helplessly, and could only concede to the current situation.

'I am Ye Liuyun, the newly appointed Underworld God!'

Ye Liuyun began to convey his thoughts through the Mourning Bell.

'In the Nether Realm, everything remains as before.

When I am absent from the Underworld, Xiuluo shall wield the Underworld God's Sword and temporarily manage it!'

Ye Liuyun simply gave a brief instruction and concluded his speech.

Although he now clearly knows everything about the Nether Hell, he does not wish to enact changes immediately.

Otherwise, it would cause panic and spark unrest.

The other Yin Souls, upon hearing that everything stays the same, briefly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Ye Liuyun instructed Xiuluo: 'After you assume command of the Nether Realm's army, I will depart the Underworld, and you will temporarily act as its proxy.

Afterwards, you will lead troops to subdue the Rakshasa clan!'

The moment he became the ruler of the Nether Realm, he understood everything.

The Rakshasa clan, upon witnessing the change of the Underworld God, already harbored rebellious intent.

They now begin to rally the Rakshasa forces, preparing for rebellion!

'Yes!'

Xiuluo responded affirmatively and proceeded to assume command.

She was already formidable in combat and wielded the Underworld God's Sword, so the transfer of command went smoothly.

Subsequently, Xiuluo reorganized the Nether Realm's army, assigning the Yin Souls she brought to key Leader positions.

The Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, after Ye Liuyun became the Underworld's master, unexpectedly merged with the entire Nether Hell.

The Hundred-Refined Soul Banner became a portable gateway within the Nether Hell; inside the banner lies the Underworld itself!

Henceforth, as long as Ye Liuyun carries the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, he can return to the Underworld at any time.

If he needs a Yin Soul army, he can directly contact Xiuluo to dispatch troops.

The Soul Banner's suction has also greatly intensified; any Yin Soul drawn into it can only loyally serve Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, Bazuzhizhu arrived with a massive insect army to pledge allegiance to Ye Liuyun.

Previously, these Yin Souls were in a neglected state, as the former Underworld God despised these crawlers.

Now they have all been rallied by Bazuzhizhu under Ye Liuyun's banner.

Ye Liuyun does not reject them.

'Well done!'

He patted Bazuzhizhu's head and praised it.

'From now on, please guard the Mourning Bell for me!'

Ye Liuyun assigned this 'honorable' task to Bazuzhizhu.

In truth, he merely wanted to give it a hand.

After the Mourning Bell returned to the Nether Hell, it immediately gathered the purest Yin Qi, allowing cultivation beside it to be twice as effective.

Bazuzhizhu stamped its feet repeatedly in delight, even rubbing against Ye Liuyun's feet to show affection.

The insect army it brought, Ye Liuyun also had Xiuluo help settle.

Then, his figure vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already before the Purgatory.

This is also a privilege of being the Underworld God; he can reach any place in the Nether Realm the moment he wills.

Having become the Underworld's new lord, some sincerely pledged allegiance, while others remained defiant.

The Flying Demon Wolf, who governs the Purgatory, after the nine tolls of the Mourning Bell, led many Purgatory guards in expressing dissent.

As the new Underworld God, Ye Liuyun could sense their rebellious intent.

The Purgatory, being a prison for major offenders, tolerates no slip-ups; otherwise, those vicious souls escaping would be hard to recapture, at least consuming much time.

He does not wish his own people to be handled by Xiuluo's troops.

He intends to personally deal with the Flying Demon Wolf, showcasing his strength to intimidate other dissenters.

The Flying Demon Wolf now, accompanied by over twenty Ninth‑rank Purgatory guards, awaits Ye Liuyun.

As an old man of the Nether Realm, it knows that as long as it shows dissatisfaction after the Mourning Bell tolls nine times, the new Underworld God will feel it.

If Ye Liuyun dares to come, then he must accept their challenge.

If Ye Liuyun does not dare to come, that proves he is cowardly.

The Flying Heaven Demon Wolf will release the fierce gods and evil spirits from Purgatory, and they will rebel together.

"Are you coming one by one, or all together?"

Ye Liuyun also had no nonsense; upon arriving, he directly prepared to fight.

"A living person at Tianzun Fifth Layer?"

The Flying Heaven Demon Wolf and all the guards felt it was unbelievable.

Now that they see Ye Liuyun's cultivation level, they are even more dissatisfied!

"Hahaha! With your level, even if we all go up together, we won't fail to crush you to death!"

The Flying Heaven Demon Wolf burst into loud laughter upon hearing those words.

"What? You think you can kill the Underworld God just with that?"

A guard built like a giant directly and bluntly questioned Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, raised his hand, took out the Hunting Demon Bow, and shot an arrow straight at the Flying Heaven Demon Wolf!

To capture the bandit, capture the king—this strongest strike is naturally aimed at the Flying Heaven Demon Wolf.

At the same time, his Golden Pupil flashed, and sheets of Nether Ghost Fire burned toward those guards.

As for that giant, Ye Liuyun directly cast a spell on him; the Buddha Light Power instantly wrapped him up, beginning to melt his physical body.

Instantly, wailing voices echoed through Purgatory, even more miserable than the cries of those Yin souls in Purgatory.

These Tianzun Ninth Layer Yin souls never expected that Ye Liuyun, upon a disagreement, would dare to attack all of them.

But at this moment, the Flying Heaven Demon Wolf lacks the Underworld God's abilities; it simply cannot withstand this arrow from the Hunting Demon Bow, and its life is taken directly.

Even before Ye Liuyun drew the Hunting Demon Bow, the guards could see it was a treasure, and that terrifying divine might made them all feel apprehensive.

At the same time, Nether Ghost Fire is equally lethal to them.

No matter whether they use treasures, True Essence, or Demon Qi, they cannot extinguish the Nether Ghost Fire.

Nether Ghost Fire is absolutely the bane of these Yin souls.
