“What's the matter?" King of the Dead asked.
He had carefully selected Elon as his envoy and Elon had been diligent. The King of the Dead admired him greatly. The news about Elon came unexpectedly.
The underworld soldier wiped off his cold sweat and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, half a day ago, envoy Elon was ordered to capture Zhang Jue, the evil man. Instead of pleading guilty, Zhang Jue attacked Elon and killed him."
Boom!
The King of the Dead was furious and he snapped his throne. "Zhang Jue is so bold! How dare he kill my envoy?"
The King of the Dead was in a rage. A thousand years ago, Zhang Jue had messed up the world, so the King of the Dead sent an envoy to arrest Zhang Jue and take him to the Ghost World for punishment. However, Zhang Jue was subdued by Lu Bu and kept in the ancient tomb. A thousand years have passed and Zhang Jue was a free man once again. He caused chaos again and so Elon was sent to arrest him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jue resisted and killed Elon.
‘Zhang Jue?’ Chester, who was kneeling, was shocked. He had a conflicted look on his face. ‘This despicable and shameless person has done evil things on earth. Even the King of the Dead wants to arrest him.’
The King of the Dead calmed down. He sat on the throne and said coldly, "Zhang Jue is extremely evil and has committed a lot of sins. Get the envoys of the other continents to capture him."
The King of the Dead wanted to do it himself, but he was unable to leave the Ghost World and head to The Nine Continents because of his identity. He could only send more of his men to arrest Zhang Jue.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Upon receiving the order, the underworld army responded and walked out of the hall quickly.
The King of the Dead frowned when he noticed Chester was still there. "Why haven't you taken him down yet?"
Chester cried, "Your Majesty, please listen to me! Zhang Jue is despicable and he did a lot of bad things. He murdered me and it would be an injustice if I die. I hope Your Majesty will give me a chance and let me go."
King of the Dead frowned. He hesitated momentarily before slowly saying, "The life and death of a person are determined by the Law of Heaven and Earth. Your heart vein is shattered and your life will soon end. If I let you go back, I would have violated the heavenly way."
