The middle-aged cultivator was greatly alarmed. Someone had actually circled around behind him without him noticing at all. Didn't this mean that they could easily kill him?
The energy of the Dragon Transformation Realm surged, muscles taut like old tree roots, and face flushed red as he tried to break free of his restraints!
"You reckless little mouse!"
A deep voice sounded in his ear, the energy he had gathered was suppressed, and the large hand on his head tightened its grip, causing his skull to creak as if it could not bear the weight!
His head was turned by a large hand, and the middle-aged cultivator finally saw "his" face clearly: a massive body three or four meters tall, strong muscles covered with a layer of bluish-black metallic skin, a bull's head, a dark gold nose ring, and two sharp bull horns curving backward!
Beside "him" stood a monster of similar build, but with a horse's head. Compared to the ferocity of the bull-headed monster, the horse-headed monster, dressed in white, possessed a refined air. It stared at the middle-aged cultivator and said:
"Cui Yu, 372 years old, was born into an ordinary cultivator family. He was tyrannical. At the age of twelve, he killed a maid who had spilled a cup, skinned her alive, and buried her body in the garden. After that, he became obsessed with killing. Over the next three hundred years, he killed a total of 7,323 people..."
As Ma Tou recounted each of Cui Yu's crimes, Cui Yu's expression turned ferocious. Realizing his predicament, he recklessly declared, "What's the use of trying?"
"So what if I killed them? You want revenge for those guys? Too bad, I've already put their skins in my bedroom, one by one, and admire them every day, hahahaha..."
The villagers felt a chill run down their spines as they listened to Cui Yu's arrogant words. If it weren't for the arrival of these monsters, they might have been skinned alive and hung in their bedrooms as decorations, their wronged souls never to be reincarnated!
But the monster with a beast's face and a human body that came was ferocious in appearance and was clearly not a kind person!
"revenge!"
The horse-headed monster snorted and spewed out a foul-smelling white mist that made Cui Yu vomit!
Snap!
A red handprint appeared on Cui Yu's face, and several teeth were spat onto the ground along with blood. The intense pain diminished his ferocity considerably, and he stared at the horse-headed monster with some fear!
"Remember, I am Horse-Face, he is Ox-Head, we are from the underworld, and we, along with those two black and white brothers, are responsible for capturing all those whose lifespans are about to end!"
Horse-faced glanced at him disdainfully. This guy still thinks he's one of the weaklings he bullies, and he dares to put on airs!
"Ox-Head and Horse-Face! Why did you arrest me? I only killed a few lowly mortals! What's so great about me?!" WoQuGe
Cui Yu seemed to have grasped at a straw and screamed wildly, but the bull's head dislocated his jaw, rendering him speechless and only able to make "uh uh uh" sounds!
"Whatever your crimes, Cui Yu, your lifespan is over, you deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell! We're here to take you away!"
Horse-faced took out a small notebook, on which was written in Daoist patterns: Cui Yu, your lifespan has come to an end!
They couldn't care less whether this guy had done evil or not. Anyway, he could do whatever he wanted in the mortal world, but once he came to the underworld, all his sins would be punished and he would be punished even more severely!
As for why Ox-Head and Horse-Face took action, it was simply because he was too arrogant and dared to say that the karma and retribution in their underworld were fake. Wasn't that slapping them in the face?
Originally, Cui Yu was supposed to be killed a few days later, but since they've run into each other, Ox-Head will send him to hell ahead of time!
The yin energy transformed into pitch-black chains, carrying a strange power, which bound Cui Yu's body. He, who had been screaming in agony, collapsed to the ground, lifeless!
Horse-faced man held the ball of light in his hand, and the bull's head and horns emitted a dark light. Ghostly energy permeated the air, and the howls of countless ghosts echoed out. Although it was June, it felt as if we were in the dead of winter!
The gate made of white bones slowly opened, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face stepped into the underworld.
"The underworld..."
Zhang Hong lay on the ground, muttering this magical word, and was stunned!
In the underworld, countless ox-headed and horse-faced beings with similar appearances roam through Fengdu City!
There stands a huge bronze mirror in the city. The mirror is as smooth as water, but it cannot reflect any image. It seems to be a piece of junk!
Six small light gates floated above the bronze mirror, and beneath the mirror was a pitch-black vortex, where even a simple glance would devour one's soul!
Countless ox-headed and horse-faced demons lined up in a long queue, methodically tossing the collected souls before the bronze mirror!
Horse-faced demon threw Cui Yu's soul before the bronze mirror. A flash of light appeared, and in an instant, all of his sins were branded into the void, finally transforming into a line of words:
Three thousand years in the eighteen levels of hell!
Then, the pitch-black vortex spun, sucking his soul in. What awaited him was a three-thousand-year-long tour of hell! And he would be participating in it firsthand, maintaining a state of perfect clarity at every moment!
Fengdu stood in the void, watching with Xu Le as the underworld slowly established order. Ox-Head and Horse-Face were both differentiated from a part of Fengdu's origin, transformed into ghost soldiers to carry out the mission of collecting souls!
"My Lord, those Supreme Beings have already gone into hiding. We've dispatched ghost soldiers to search for them. Once their lifespans come to an end, they'll be ours to deal with!"
Fengdu spoke calmly, the gourd that had been hanging on his chest now tucked into his waistband. Its divine power had been concealed, and it had become a ghostly shadow, constantly absorbing the laws of the underworld to undergo transformation. In just a few decades, it could give birth to another powerful ultimate weapon!
Xu Le used the laws of the inner world as a template to set up a powerful protective barrier for the Yin Realm, preventing it from being easily breached!
Terrifying divine chains crawled across the boundary membrane, then slowly disappeared into it. If any foolish person tried to plunder the underworld, they would trigger the formation. The divine chains were linked to the origin of the underworld, possessing power comparable to that of an emperor, enough to annihilate most enemies!

Chapter 315: Fishing
At dusk, the light of the setting sun on the river resembles many golden and silver threads, shimmering with the ripples.
An ordinary-looking courtyard is located at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs, right next to the lake. Xu Le moved a small stool to the lake to fish!
This place was originally a barren field, overgrown with weeds, and teeming with field mice and insects!
Not long after Xu Le returned from Shrouding the Heavens, he suddenly felt like fishing, so he said, "I want a lake to appear here!"
At his level, he could change reality with a single sentence in a lower world. That day, the earth trembled violently and slowly cracked, forming a huge crater!
Rumble!
Dark clouds gathered, drifted over the pit, and poured down a torrential rain, as if God had overturned a basin of water, spilling the rivers, lakes, and streams that filled it, thus forming this lake!
