Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2604

Still overwhelmed with excitement, Zhang Jue smiled at Laura and said, "Laura, you’ve worked hard. Let’s take a break now."

Laura nodded and turned to leave.

Zhang Jue looked around and gave instructions to his disciples to clean up the battlefield. Then, he returned to his private room to cultivate and recuperate.

Zhang Jue meditated and cultivated in his private room for a while before closing his eyes to rest.

Buzz!

Suddenly, there was a gust of aura and then a figure emerged before Zhang Jue. The person wore a black robe and hat. Under the hat was a pale and expressionless face.

Now alert, Zhang Jue immediately opened his eyes. He was taken aback by the man in black.

“Who are you?” he asked, alarmed.

He knew this person was no ordinary man if he could enter his private room without him knowing.

The black-robed man smiled slightly and said in a faint tone, "Zhang Jue, we met a thousand years ago. Have you forgotten about me?"

The black-robed man wore a serious expression as he spoke, "I am the envoy of the King of the Dead, Elon. A thousand years ago, the King of the Dead summoned you. You were subdued by Lu Bu at that instance; we thought you would realize your mistakes and repent after being subdued for a thousand years. However, to our disappointment, you began doing evil deeds again after being freed. The King of the Dead has ordered me to take you to him to atone for your sins.”

Elon sounded cold, as if he was speaking without feelings.

‘What? It's him?’ Zhang Jue shuddered when he heard what was going on. His body was dripping with cold sweat.

In the world of cultivators, righteous cultivators who had reached a certain level of strength would be able to overcome the catastrophe and ascend. However, some cultivators did a lot of evil deeds and were unable to ascend. If one were too vicious, the cultivator would be caught by the envoy of the King of the Dead and be brought to the underworld for purgatory.

The underworld was the final destination of all sinful people in the world. It was located in the Ghost World.
