A mere dog demon has somehow made so many powerful figures in the underworld wary of him.
Just what kind of powerful background does that dog demon have?
Logically speaking, the Emperor of Fengdu is the head of the underworld.
Aside from his direct superior, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, the person he feared most was the Jade Emperor, who was in charge of all matters concerning gods, immortals, Buddhas, saints, the human world, and the underworld.
The Haotian Pagoda is the magic weapon of the Jade Emperor.
So, does this mean the dog demon is related to the Jade Emperor?
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
Li Yao felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "You are all people with extraordinary magical abilities. Logically speaking, a mere pagoda should not be able to do anything to you. Why don't you destroy this pagoda and instead stay inside it?"
Li Yao wasn't entirely sure just how powerful the Haotian Tower was.
However, there are dozens of powerful figures from the underworld here, each with boundless magical power.
Even if they were alone, they couldn't destroy the Haotian Tower.
However, if they join forces, a mere Haotian Tower should not be able to stop them.
Is it simply because it is the Jade Emperor's magic weapon that they dare not destroy?
Things are probably not that simple!
The Emperor of Fengdu sighed and said, "It's not that we don't want to go out, but this tower has a magical ability that prevents us from using our magic. Moreover, if we stay here for too long, our magic will slowly disappear."
I see!
However, Li Yao still did not completely believe the words of the Emperor of Fengdu.
He felt that the Emperor of Fengdu was still hiding some important information.
Upon hearing the words of the Emperor of Fengdu, Yan Chixia, who was standing to the side, quickly cast a spell to verify it.
Sure enough, after trying for quite some time, he discovered that his magic power seemed to be suppressed by some mysterious force.
"Brother Li, the Emperor is right, this tower can indeed suppress our magical power!"
Yan Chixia said in a panic.
Xiao Bai quickly tried it too and found that he couldn't cast spells. He quickly said, "Young Master, that's true!"
"ah?"
"What should we do?"
"We won't be trapped here forever, never to get out?"
"..."
Nie Xiaoqian and the other female ghosts screamed in terror.
When Li Yao saw Nie Xiaoqian, he suddenly remembered a question that had been puzzling him for a long time.
His eyes darted around, and he pointed at Nie Xiaoqian, asking the Emperor of Fengdu, "This Miss Nie Xiaoqian, one of the dog demon's subordinates once wanted to marry her. Do you know the reason behind that?"
Li Yaocai simply couldn't believe that the Black Mountain Demon wanted to force Nie Xiaoqian to marry him because he coveted her beauty.
There must be deeper reasons behind this.
Upon hearing Li Yao's words, the powerful figures of the underworld, including the Emperor of Fengdu, all turned their gazes toward Nie Xiaoqian.
Soon, their faces turned very ugly.
"She...she is actually a Xuan Yin Ghost Body, one in ten thousand!"
"Oh no, could that dog demon be trying to collect the Xuan Yin Ghost Body and completely open the barrier between the underworld and the mortal realm?"
"Once this barrier is opened, the ghosts in the underworld will be able to enter the mortal world without any hindrance, which will surely cause great chaos in the mortal world and turn it into a living hell!"
"That dog demon is incredibly audacious!"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Your Majesty, we cannot allow that dog demon to run rampant any longer!"
"Your Majesty, please think of a solution quickly!"
"..."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Li Yao's words immediately made the underworld bigwigs present unable to sit still.
That's absolutely right!
That dog demon could do whatever it wanted in the underworld, at most making the underworld a mess.
However, once the ghosts from the underworld enter the mortal realm, they will surely wreak havoc there, turning the entire mortal realm into hell, and then things will spiral out of control!
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned when she overheard the discussion among a group of powerful figures from the underworld.
She never imagined that the Black Mountain Demon wanted to marry her for this very purpose.
She never imagined that she would play such a crucial role.
"Excellent, excellent! This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. We cannot allow him to continue to act with such impunity!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
He is nominally the head of the underworld, second only to the Emperor of Fengdu in status.
However, he was actually just a spy sent by that big shot from Mount Ling, and he had no real power in the underworld.
He usually turns a blind eye and rarely gets involved.
However, he was, after all, a Bodhisattva, and with the heart of a Bodhisattva, he naturally could not bear to see the people of the mortal world suffer.
If he hadn't been wary of the powerful figure behind that dog demon, he certainly wouldn't have allowed it to run rampant in the underworld.
"This...he is..."
The Emperor of Fengdu hesitated, then subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Although he didn't say everything aloud, all the underworld bigwigs present instantly understood what the Fengdu Emperor meant.
For a moment, the tower was completely silent!
Chapter 452 The True Story of the Great Sage Tongtian (Revised)
"A bunch of pathetic gods, and a mere dog demon makes them so timid and hesitant!"
"It seems that whether you're a god or an ordinary person, you can't escape the shackles of self-preservation!"
It's pathetic that Li Yao sees these powerful figures from the underworld still so wary of that dog demon and dare not offend the person behind it.
Now all the evidence points to the Jade Emperor.
Clearly, that dog demon must have a very close relationship with the Jade Emperor.
That's why these underworld bigwigs are so wary of that dog demon.
Li Yao really wanted to find out what kind of relationship the dog demon had with the Jade Emperor.
Is there some hidden secret behind this?
And these underworld bigwigs must know the reason behind it.
Since none of them were willing to tell the truth, Li Yao had no choice but to resort to drastic measures.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yao smiled and said to the Emperor of Fengdu, "Your Majesty, I would like to speak with you alone. Would that be convenient?"
"this……"
The Emperor of Fengdu glanced at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Alright!"
Then he said to his men behind him, "You wait here for me."
Then he said to Li Yao, "Please come with me, Your Excellency."
After saying that, he walked towards a room inside the tower.
Li Yao turned to Xiao Bai and the others and gave them some instructions, then followed the Emperor of Fengdu into the room.
The room was simply furnished with a bed, a table, and a few chairs.
"sit!"
The Emperor of Fengdu sat in a chair and greeted Li Yao politely as he entered.
Li Yao closed the door and sat down opposite the Emperor of Fengdu with a smile.
"What business do you wish to discuss with me privately?"
The Emperor of Fengdu did not look at Li Yao, but lowered his eyes and asked.
"I think……"
Li Yao stared directly at the Emperor of Fengdu, deliberately lowering his voice to attract the Emperor's attention.
Sure enough, because he couldn't hear Li Yao's words clearly, the Emperor of Fengdu subconsciously stuck out his head and looked at Li Yao.
Instantly, he felt his eyelids become incredibly heavy, and he felt extremely sleepy, wanting to get a good night's sleep.
It turns out that Li Yao had hypnotized the Emperor of Fengdu!
If it were in the past, when the Fengdu Emperor's magic power had not yet disappeared, Li Yao would definitely not have been able to hypnotize the Fengdu Emperor.
Now, because the Emperor of Fengdu is imprisoned in the Haotian Tower, he has lost all his magical powers and is no different from an ordinary person.
Therefore, Li Yao easily hypnotized the Emperor of Fengdu.
Li Yao is the first person to be able to hypnotize the Emperor of Fengdu!
A smile flashed across Li Yao's face as he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is the relationship between that dog demon and the Jade Emperor?"
"That dog demon is the Jade Emperor's beloved dog!"
The Emperor of Fengdu answered mechanically.
