Li Shang remained calm, while Ben Jun sensed Mingfu Ren entering Wujie. The Reincarnation Stone jumped up and shouted, "You're lying! Song Huai has disappeared from Wujie; did you kill him?"
Wu Yue Jian flew up on its own, aiming to stab the Reincarnation Stone, but was blocked by Yun Zhi Yue, who frowned. The Reincarnation Stone was furious and felt a deep-seated irritation upon seeing Wu Yue Jian. Its eyes turned red with rage, wishing to tear it apart, as if something important had been snatched away.
It jumped onto the sword's body and stomped down hard. Wu Yue Jian was not without temper; the red killing intent condensed on the sword body, but Yun Zhi Yue held it tightly, allowing a small child to wreak havoc on the sword.
The sword emitted a hum of grievance as Yun Zhi Yue remained indifferent, gripping it firmly. Concerned, she looked at the Reincarnation Stone, wondering what was wrong with this little stone that usually held itself so high and mighty; when had it ever lost control like this?
Suye Emperor's gaze grew heavier with suspicion as he stared intently at Li Shang's face. The Soul Artifact was something only found in the Imperial Realm. Upon entering the Imperial Realm, if one's soul was strong enough, it would manifest a weapon that was extremely close to its master—sharing glory and suffering together.
Wu Yue Jian was Li Shang's Soul Artifact; why did he allow the Underworld King Soul Artifact to trample on it, merely for Yun Zhi Yue?
The nearly mad Reincarnation Stone was cradled back in her arms. Yun Zhi Yue frowned and said, "My master wouldn't lie. If he said he didn't see him, then he didn't see him. Perhaps it's for another reason."
The Reincarnation Stone felt even more wronged; after living for so many years, it had been thoroughly beaten down during this time and had become completely dispirited. It cried out in pain: "What master? I've been watching you all along! Don't think I don't know you've been getting cozy with each other. Yun Zhi Yue, do you deserve your master?"
"Your master has poured his heart and soul into you; even when angry, he wouldn't dare touch a single hair on your head. While your master’s life hangs in the balance, you’re enjoying yourself in the heavenly realm—do you still have a heart?"
With so many Emperors watching, even Yun Zhi Yue felt immensely embarrassed despite her thick skin. She straightened up and said seriously, "Stop talking nonsense! My master is my master; we are innocent. I went to the heavenly realm to learn from him; I have no interest in love affairs."
The Reincarnation Stone didn't dwell on it and declared loudly, "Fine! I believe you! You belong to the Underworld and possess the Underworld King's Origin Power; you should bear the Heaven and Earth Bestow Mandate and become Ming Hou! Come with me back to the Underworld to quell the rebellion!"
Yun Zhi Yue was bewildered: "What Origin Power? When did I have that?"
Suye Emperor found this amusing: "You actually do have it. When you transform into your true form, your root meridians are pure black—that is the essence of the Underworld King. When Ben Jun touched it once, his fingers were corroded."
Yun Zhi Yue was confused: "How come I didn’t know about this? When did it happen?"
The Reincarnation Stone sneered: "How many times have you cultivated with my master? Do you remember? You were too busy enjoying yourself to notice what your master has done!"
Even though Yun Zhi Yue usually didn’t care about such matters, being exposed like this made her face flush red: "Can you speak properly? I'm a girl; don't you have any shame?"
Li Shang glanced sideways at the Reincarnation Stone and said, "I want everyone, both in heaven and on earth, to know who Yun Zhi Yue is to you. Don't even think about flirting around. Even if my master doesn't keep an eye on you, I will."
"You've always been ambitious, haven't you? My master may not care, but as long as you inherit the title of Ming Hou, the Underworld will respect you. You could openly control the Underworld."
Yun Zhi Yue stroked his chin thoughtfully. "That's true, but the premise is that the King of Hell doesn't come. What if he does? If you want my help, then declare that the King of Hell is dead and that I am to be revered from now on; I shall be the new King of Hell."
