Chapter 418: I can summon the Three Pure Ones if you want to file a complaint against me

~7 min read 1,350 words

Yama was taking a nap when he was disturbed by the Judge who had rushed over.

"It's been many years since I've seen you this flustered. Why are you in such a rush?" Having had his good dream disturbed, Yama was naturally in a bad mood.

The Judge sighed. The last time he was this flustered was during the Journey to the West Calamity. He had been tossed about by that person so many times that every time felt like facing a formidable enemy.

And this time was no exception.

Seeing the Judge not speaking, Yama sat up with a start.

At this moment, the Judge's silence really was more eloquent than words.

"It wouldn't be..."

The Judge didn't speak, just nodded repeatedly.

Yama stood up abruptly. "Are those living ancestors here again?"

Ever since Tang An last came to the Underworld to send Bai Susu to reincarnation, she hadn't appeared for over a thousand years.

How could she come again at this time?

"Did she have a descendant pass away?"

That wasn't right either; where would she have descendants? Her only godson, Chenxiang, was someone who had overturned the Heavenly Court; he couldn't come here either.

The Judge didn't speak, just shook his head repeatedly.

"Stop shaking your head. It's an emergency, just tell me who it is."

"It's... her father."

"Who?"

"Uh, her biological father."

Yama rubbed his forehead. "Wait a moment... wait a moment." He had to sort this out; it was a bit messy.

"She, Tang An, her father died at this time? And it's her biological father?"

"How many years of lifespan did he have left? How did he die?"

The Judge quickly bowed. "His lifespan had not ended. It is said..."

"Speak!"

"It is said he was killed by her own hands, in order to snatch her father's estate. That is, money and a house..." The Judge felt guilty even saying it.

Yama laughed upon hearing this. "Her?"

"She, Tang An, killed her biological father for a bit of money, for a house?"

Are you kidding?

She could walk sideways through the Three Realms, and the Three Pure Ones were her backers. Would she lack that bit of money? That house?

Yama realized the matter wasn't simple and quickly followed the Judge.

As a result, after Wang Maolin saw Yama, he still insisted on what he had just said. He still claimed Tang An killed her father for money and a house.

After listening, Yama looked at the Judge. "Is he really her biological father?"

The Judge was also helpless; this couldn't be investigated.

Not to mention whether they had the ability or face to invite Tang An and the others, even if this were true, even if Houtu Niangniang personally accepted this complaint of patricide, so what?

"I am right here. If Yama wants to know, you can ask me yourself."

Following this sentence, the ghost runners who were originally standing at the door waiting for orders scattered in fear, clearing a path.

Appearing behind the ghost runners was Tang An, who was leaning on the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, watching everything with great interest.

That scene was both cool and filled with a sense of oppression that made people afraid to even breathe.

Yama was so scared he stood up immediately, leading all the ghost runners to bow to Tang An.

"This humble one did not know Princess Chang'an had arrived. I beg for your forgiveness."

Except for Yama, the group of ghost runners knelt on the ground, bowing their heads to the floor; the spectacle was truly grand.

And Wang Maolin, watching this scene, clearly had his brain crash; he had lost the ability to think.

That "money-losing goods" he had despised so much could now make the Underworld's Yama and ghost runners welcome her with such grand rites, and even call her Princess?

"Yama, you are too polite. Everyone, rise." Tang An was now the Princess Chang'an of the Three Realms, a proper second-rank divine position. Therefore, wherever she went, she had to be treated with respect.

Of course, what truly made the beings of the Three Realms fear her was not her divine rank, but her strength, the person Tang An herself.

Yama hurriedly stood up and welcomed Tang An to sit in the seat of honor.

In other words, for Wang Maolin to report Tang An, Tang An herself would have the final say.

"Wang Maolin, aren't you trying to report me?" Tang An leaned forward slightly, looking at him, her eyes full of mockery. "I am right here. You report, Yama records, and I listen."

"Come on, report?" Her gaze turned into a look of contempt filled with oppression; it was pure satisfaction.

Wang Maolin slumped on the ground, completely numb.

His throat moved, and his mouth trembled as he opened and closed it several times, but he couldn't say a word.

"What's wrong? After becoming a ghost, you don't like to talk anymore?" Tang An mocked.

Wang Maolin lowered his head and closed his eyes, slapping his own face hard, hoping all of this was just a hallucination.

But no matter how hard he slapped, no matter how many times he opened his eyes, Tang An was still sitting there, and Yama could only condescend to stand beside her, waiting for her orders.

This was his daughter? This was actually his daughter?

No, this was all a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!

"Even if you have power, what's so great about that? Even if you are some bullshit princess, so what?"

"I don't believe there is no justice in this world! I don't believe I have nowhere to seek justice!"

"Patricide is a great crime, intolerable by Heaven! There must be someone impartial who dares to speak for me!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, as if only in this way could he numb himself, brainwash himself, and thus have the conviction to speak.

Tang An leaned against the backrest made of bones, a lollipop in her mouth. She was smiling, looking in a particularly good mood.

"There is indeed no justice here, but I myself am the supreme truth."

Wang Maolin gathered his courage and climbed up. "You, you are lawless, you are the scum of society, I should have strangled you when..."

"Lawless?" Tang An laughed out loud, interrupting Wang Maolin. "I actually have Wutian Buddha here, but you aren't worthy of seeing him."

"As for being lawless..."

Tang An looked at Yang Jian, who had just arrived beside her. "Let me introduce you."

"This person represents the law of the Three Realms."

"You can ask him if he is willing to back you up."

Wang Maolin just wanted to point at Tang An and call her shameless, but he remembered how he had lost his two arms and immediately withdrew his hand.

"He is in cahoots with you, naturally he won't help me."

"Oh? Is that so?" Tang An put her feet on the Judge's desk. "Then who would you like to ask to help you?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"Or Feng Du Da Di? Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun? Houtu Niangniang?"

"I have some connections in Heaven too. Do you want to report to the Jade Emperor, or the Queen Mother?"

"How about this, can the Three Pure Ones do? If you are willing to report, I can invite the Three Pure Ones down for you."

Inside the entire hall, because of Tang An's words, it became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Yama felt a chill down his back; it was really hard to imagine what it would look like if the Three Pure Ones arrived in the Underworld.

The key is! This ancestor could actually invite them!

Wang Maolin looked at the reaction of the Underworld ghost runners, then looked at Yama and the Judge who didn't dare to breathe and were wiping sweat constantly. Only then did he finally understand to what extent the daughter he had despised as worthless had grown.

He felt his throat tighten, his mouth full of bitterness and regret. ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
