Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

In everyone's eyes, the only one who could take action against Tong Shan was King Senluo himself.

And King Senluo would never personally execute Tong Shan, especially considering that behind Tong Shan stood a Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall.

Dao Niu snorted coldly upon hearing Qing Yi's words, "Hmph, Qing Yi, do you really think my uncle would massacre Elder Tong? Laughable, laughable indeed. Women really do have long hair but short sight."

"Rest assured, Elder Tong, you are an Elder of my Enforcement Hall. Anyone who wants to touch you would need my father's approval!"

Ye Ling, who was in Qing Yi's arms, coughed violently several times, feeling as though all the bones in his body had shattered, "You scoundrels, Tong Fei purchasing souls for cultivation, Underworld Soldiers unlawfully hooking the souls of the living from the Yang Realm, you are defying Heavenly Dao!"

Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Tong Fei immediately became anxious, this was an accusation he could not bear, "No! You're framing me, I did not purchase souls for cultivation at all!"

"My father is an Elder of the Enforcement Hall, how could I knowingly break the law, you're slandering me!"

Tong Fei roared, while Tong Shan floating in mid-air lowered his body, looking down at Ye Ling on the ground with a cold smile, "Heh, not much strength, but quite a sharp tongue. I didn't kill you with one slap, are you in such a rush to die?"

"Tong Shan! Then tell me, why did my sister's soul appear at your son's residence!"

Ye Ling suddenly shouted coldly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which distressed Qing Yi. She had lived in Ye Ling's home for almost a year, and to say she felt no affection would be totally unrealistic.

And now, with Ye Ling nearly dying in front of her, she had no idea how to face Shen Yuexin and the other women, how to explain it.

Hearing Ye Ling's words, Tong Shan suddenly didn't know how to answer, as if any response wouldn't be appropriate.

Tong Fei was also stunned, yeah, how to explain this? Even if the Underworld Soldiers made a mistake, it shouldn't have occurred here. There was only one explanation: it was deliberately sent.

"Hmph, how would I know? It was these Underworld Soldiers who brought her. She... she came to discuss with this young master how to send the soul back," he said.

Tong Fei's eyes wheeled, and he slapped his thigh, proclaiming his idea, oblivious to the fact that Dao Niu suddenly seemed to have realized something on the side, looking at him strangely.

However, this scene was completely unnoticed by Tong Fei, who was still feeling smug about his own cleverness.

"Good! Underworld Soldiers of the Third Enforcement Squad, do you know that doing such a thing is a capital offense?"

"I ask you, did you do this on purpose!"

Ye Ling suddenly shouted coldly, spewing another mouthful of blood, his vitality waned considerably, he was close to being unable to speak, and Qing Yi was on the verge of collapsing, holding Ye Ling and weeping silently.

At this, the group of Underworld Soldiers were dumbfounded. Damn, this was serious trouble. If they shouldered this blame, it would mean a crime worthy of the eighteenth level of hell.

"No, no! It has nothing to do with us, we only listened..."

An Underworld Soldier was about to speak, when Tong Fei suddenly hissed through clenched teeth, "If you dare to speak out, you won't live to see another day either!"

Buzz, the soldiers were instantly stupefied. What to do now, what to do at this moment? Both steps led to a capital offense, they were finished.

They weren't like Tong Fei; they had no Elder as a father behind them. They were the lowest-ranking ghost soldiers, not daring to get involved in the clash of two major powers, lest they faced an utterly devastating outcome.

Ye Ling patted Qing Yi, who was very clever and immediately understood what Ye Ling meant.

"Third Enforcement Squad! I give you one last chance. If you spill the truth, I, Qing Yi, guarantee to spare your lives, no matter what,"

"On the other hand, if you dare to lie, I, Qing Yi, swear, it won't just be your own lives you'll lose. I'll also involve your dearest in the mortal world. I swear it!"

Thump thump thump, members of the Third Enforcement Squad retreated several steps, their hearts hammering in their chests as if struck by a sledgehammer.

Mouths agape, they found themselves unable to speak a single word, feeling a chill rush straight to the crown of their heads.

At this moment, Tong Fei also hurriedly shouted, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean! I guarantee it too, I guarantee!"

Qing Yi's words made one feel as though they had entered a chilling ice cave, but Tong Fei's words felt like nothing but a joke, completely devoid of any threat.

"Shut up! Tong Fei, whether you live or die is yet to be determined. What are you blabbering about here!"

Qing Yi suddenly barked with commanding authority, and this time, Dao Niu unusually refrained from opposing Qing Yi. He also wanted to see whether he was wrong or Qing Yi was.

Qing Yi, like a queen, exhibited full majesty, turning the faces of the five Underworld Soldiers deathly pale.

Tong Shan also took a deep breath, "You must choose your words carefully. A single misplaced word could mean a fatal conclusion!"

Another threat from a major power came as Qing Yi looked up and roared at Tong Shan in midair, "You old fool, it's not your place to talk here. If you want to strike, then just kill me now. Otherwise, shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Shan's cheeks turned an iron blue as if frosted. He, a venerable Ghost Immortal, was being scolded by a mere girl at the Golden Core Stage, nearly driving him out of his senses.

Yet he dared not strike. If he did, it would mean certain death. The formidable King Senluo wanting his life left him without the slightest leeway to resist.

Let alone the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, not even the Bodhisattva descending personally could save him.

"Speak! This is your last chance, or else I will immediately call upon my father to come and execute you myself!"

Qing Yi pressurized them, yelling again. The five Underworld Soldiers glanced at Qing Yi, then at the fiercely grimacing Tong Fei beside them.

The struggle was immense, with no choice at their disposal. Every step was hell itself!

What's more, Qing Yi had threatened their families, leaving them utterly without choice. They could die, but their loved ones…

Moreover, all five had only died a hundred years ago, and in the mortal world, they still had many dear ones!

The five exchanged looks, took a deep breath, and with the same glint in their eyes, they made the same decision.

"We have decided to tell the truth!"

The Underworld Soldiers' captain inhaled deeply, his voice filled with desolation.

Tong Fei, however, panicking at the captain's side, hastily waved his hands, "No! Don't listen to their nonsense; everything they're saying is false, all lies, you can't trust the words of a bunch of ghost soldiers!"

"Seems like they haven't actually said anything yet, right?"

At this moment, Dao Niu stepped forward, his voice growing colder.
