I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1389 - 727: Heavenly Vener

"Indeed."

The Civil Judge’s gaze was calm, yet he couldn’t help but clench his fists.

The flayed elder sighed and said, "I have also told you before, the Central Ghost Emperor once devoured its master, so it does not trust you. After you offer your plan, it may adopt it, but it will certainly be extremely wary, wishing to counterbalance you!"

Saying this, the elder let out a cold laugh, mocking, "But you think that from the Ancient Era, you have loyally followed this Central Ghost Emperor without a doubt, and are determined to give your counsel."

"Isn’t this all part of your calculations as well?"

The Civil Judge’s eyes were cold, as he said, "If you didn’t want me to present my plan, then why let me know of this matter? You have long anticipated this result, no... you have been waiting for this result all along!"

"Now that matters have come to this, if I said I did not foresee it, you probably wouldn’t believe me either."

The flayed elder continued, "The Central Ghost Emperor, sitting high, is arrogant at heart and probably has never thought of uniting with allies outside the Netherworld."

"This time, you enlightened it, offering it a strategy it had not thought of."

"Therefore, not only does it need to be wary of you, it won’t tolerate you even after you reincarnate."

"You think yourself loyal, but in its eyes, you are just like how Yin Tianzi was loyally viewed by it in the past!"

"You are too clever, and with the cultivation of a Ghost King... if someday you are lucky enough to gain the power of the Netherworld, you would have the right to threaten it!"

The flayed elder sighed, "So whether or not you are loyal, does not matter; what matters is... you have the ability to threaten it!"

The Civil Judge closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

In the past, the assault on Yin Tianzi was overtly led by the Second Human Emperor of the Human Clan, who rallied the foundations of the era to attack the Netherworld.

But in reality, various Heavenly Gods, Ancient Gods of the Human World, and Netherworld Ghost Gods all exerted efforts in the shadows.

Later, the struggle over Yin Tianzi’s power resulted in battles so fierce that they turned the skies dark and caused heavy casualties.

Back then, even this Civil Judge had obtained part of Yin Tianzi’s power.

But in the end, he offered it all to the Central Ghost Emperor, helping the other become the foremost of Ghost Emperors, the strongest in the Netherworld!

"Had I not offered up the power back then, even if I wasn’t King Yan, I would have been one of the Yin Generals handling power!"

The Civil Judge closed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "With power in hand, the Central Ghost Emperor would also have to be a bit wary! What a pity..."

With many from the high ranks likewise suffering many deaths and injuries, "You either emulate the Central Ghost Emperor and backlash against Yin Tianzi, replacing them! Or... with your foolish loyalty, perform one last service for the Central Ghost Emperor, facing your final tribulation!"

The Civil Judge fell silent for a moment, then said, "But Yin Tianzi never feared it, yet it has begun to fear me!"

The flayed elder continued, "Therefore, when the Central Ghost Emperor already harbors suspicion against you, you essentially have no chance to overturn the situation! The only hope... is to seek aid!"

The Civil Judge paused, then said, "I understand, and now as I am about to reincarnate, there are some matters... I must ask the old gentleman for assistance."

The flayed elder’s eyes were deep, menacing, yet he said nothing.

The next moment, the Civil Judge waved a large hand, and the Nether Soldiers in charge of the Skin Stripping Hell swiftly drifted over.

Two Nether Soldiers manifested, bowed, and saluted.

"Greetings, Judge."

"This person’s soul, in the Skin Stripping Hell, has endured rebirth a thousand times, and also undergone stripping a thousand times."

The Civil Judge said blandly, "According to the judgment documents, he has completed his sentence in the Skin Stripping Hell, and is to be immediately transferred to the Tongue Pulling Hell!"

The Nether Soldier on the left couldn’t help but pause, saying, "This person has only undergone three thousand stripes, and hasn’t reached the required number yet!"

The flayed elder’s heart sank, and his gaze grew profound.

People of the world describe the most extreme pain as being bone-deep, unbearable.

Yet now, as a soul, the skin flayed from him is not physical skin but the skin of a soul.

Each flaying brings unimaginable agony to the mortal world.

"In that case, you will endure the remaining seven thousand stripes."

The Civil Judge’s gaze hardened, pulling at the Nether Soldier.

The robes formed from Yin Qi were torn off.

Falling along with them was a layer of skin on the soul.

The expression of the other Nether Soldier changed dramatically.

With his head turned, the Civil Judge pointed to the flayed Nether Soldier, saying, "Once this miscreant has endured all ten thousand stripes, send him to the Tongue Pulling Hell!"

The heart of the rightward Nether Soldier sank.

By rights, this contributor to the Human Clan should be sent to the Oil Pot Hell and then to the Tongue Pulling Hell.

But now it seemed that the Civil Judge clearly intended to use this Nether Soldier to exchange for this Human Clan member.

Once this Nether Soldier entered the Tongue Pulling Hell, he would no longer be able to speak, suffering all torments in silence. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"You were raised by my hand as trusted Nether Soldiers."

The Civil Judge patted the Nether Soldier’s shoulder, saying, "Should I fall, you too will be reduced to ashes! Given your doubts about my decision, you are bound to become ashes sooner or later; by having him endure the sentence, I am in fact allowing him to linger a while longer. Do you think he should not be grateful to me?"

"Of course, he should!"

The Nether Soldier exclaimed loudly, "That ungrateful wretch should indeed be reduced to ashes. That you have him endure the sentence is truly delaying his time of becoming ashes. Such great benevolence! I am different from him; whatever the Judge commands, whether it’s ascending a mountain of knives, entering a pot of boiling oil, being flayed or having bones dismantled, having tongues pulled or being slowly dismembered, I would never hesitate!"

"You have always been slightly more astute than him."

The Civil Judge displayed a look of satisfaction, and a wisp of Yin Qi seeped into this Nether Soldier’s body from his palm, saying, "You must know that this wisp of Yin Qi can extinguish you at any time. Even if the Ghost Emperor intervenes, I will surely destroy you first before I turn to ashes."
