Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2040 - Cheap loyalty

Hearing Qinghua Great Emperor utter such shameless words, Chu Hao immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, don't even mention you, Qinghua Great Emperor, even if the Jade Emperor's mount commits a mistake, it's within the scope of my, the Hell Warden's, jurisdiction.

It would be fine if you said this in front of others, but in front of me, there's no room for leniency!"

Chu Hao's words left Qinghua Great Emperor speechless, as the situation was indeed as he described, leaving him with no excuses.

Although Qinghua Great Emperor had nothing to say, the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage spoke up.

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage had been severely injured by Tang Sanzang and his disciples, and had only just recovered somewhat. Hearing that Chu Hao intended to bring him to justice, how could he willingly be captured?

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage had witnessed the battle of cultivation between Qinghua Great Emperor and Chu Hao, which ended in a draw.

Therefore, the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage felt that this Hell Warden, Chu Hao, was nothing special, at least Qinghua Great Emperor could restrain him.

Furthermore, seeing that Chu Hao had rendered Qinghua Great Emperor speechless, this lackey naturally had to shout on behalf of Qinghua Great Emperor to show his loyalty.

"Chu Hao, you really take yourself seriously as the Hell Warden, daring to speak to my master like that."

"Even if the Jade Emperor came, he would have to give my master some respect."

"You, a mere Hell Warden, not to mention my master, even I don't take you seriously."

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage taunted Chu Hao, wanting to regain face for Qinghua Great Emperor and, incidentally, express his loyalty, hoping that Qinghua Great Emperor would do his best to protect him.

Leaving aside others, even Qinghua Great Emperor was stunned to hear the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage say this.

Chu Hao was, after all, the Hell Warden of the Three Realms. Not to mention the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage, even Qinghua Great Emperor wouldn't dare to speak like this in front of Chu Hao.

This Nine Spirits Primordial Sage was clearly playing with fire. Was Chu Hao so easy to provoke?

At this time, Tang Sanzang and his disciples had also recovered somewhat. Hearing the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage insult Chu Hao, Zhu Bajie couldn't sit still.

"Boss, let me help you teach this old lion a lesson, I guarantee to beat him into meat paste."

Zhu Bajie picked up his Nine-toothed Rake, making a gesture to attack.

"No need!"

Chu Hao shook his head at Zhu Bajie, then gave the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage a cold laugh.

This single cold laugh made the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage feel chills all over his body, and he couldn't help but move closer to Qinghua Great Emperor.

"Since you dared to say these things, then no one can protect you, including Qinghua Great Emperor."

Chu Hao said to the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage.

"Chu Hao, don't bluff and boast. I want to see what you can do to me."

Although the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage was tough on the surface, his body had already hidden behind Qinghua Great Emperor.

"Alright, then I'll let you see."

As Chu Hao spoke, his body moved, transforming into a streak of iridescent light.

This was Chu Hao's Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique, also the fastest speed within the Three Realms. Just how fast it was, probably no one could accurately measure.

Chu Hao used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to move instantly. Even Qinghua Great Emperor, with his high cultivation, didn't clearly see how Chu Hao moved.

But Chu Hao had already appeared behind Qinghua Great Emperor, his hand already grabbing the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage's neck.

Currently, the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage was still in his original form due to his serious injuries. The original form of the nine-headed lion was quite large.

Even with such a huge size, he was instantly controlled by Chu Hao grabbing his neck.

"You…"

Before Qinghua Great Emperor, who hadn't even turned his head around, could react, Chu Hao's body had once again transformed into a streak of iridescent light.

When he reappeared, he had already returned to his original position, and he was still dragging the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage in his hand.

This round trip was extremely fast, even those with slightly lower cultivation hadn't clearly seen how Chu Hao had caught the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage. It seemed as if the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage had suddenly disappeared from his original spot, and then appeared in Chu Hao's hand.

And the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage, who had been caught by Chu Hao, was completely stunned.

"Hell Warden, Hell Warden, spare my life."

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage finally reacted with great difficulty, but he completely lacked the arrogant appearance he had just had, becoming like a mouse caught by a cat.

At this time, if Chu Hao threatened him, it was estimated that the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage would be scared to pee on the spot.

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage began to beg Chu Hao for mercy, his appearance even more pitiful than when he was being chased by Zhu Bajie.

"My brother is truly extraordinary."

"Boss is still Boss. That old lion clamoring in front of Boss is just courting death."

"Immortal Chu Hao's skills are truly admirable."

Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang and his disciples couldn't help but give Chu Hao a thumbs up.

"This Chu Hao is really powerful. That Nine Spirits Primordial Sage is a fool, playing with fire himself, so he can't blame others."

Guanyin said this as well upon seeing the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage being captured.

Although Guanyin hated Chu Hao, she still had to acknowledge Chu Hao's strength.

"Chu Hao, quickly release him!"

Qinghua Great Emperor reacted and shouted at Chu Hao.

However, Chu Hao completely ignored Qinghua Great Emperor's shout, instead looking at the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage who had already been controlled by him.

"Having descended to the lower realm to become a demon, yet daring to insult me, the Hell Warden, you deserve to suffer ninety-nine eighty-one cuts on the Demon Execution Platform in the Hall of Law Enforcement."

Chu Hao said to the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage.

The Demon Execution Platform in the Hall of Law Enforcement had executed thousands of evil demons, and was also famous within the Three Realms.

Most of those evil demons were killed with one cut, but there were also those who had committed heinous crimes and were cut multiple times, even dismembered.

The knives of the Demon Execution Platform were not ordinary knives, cutting the body, the soul, and the primordial spirit. One cut was a trial of life and death.

"Hell Warden, spare my life, I won't dare to do it again. Please have mercy on me, considering how difficult my cultivation has been. Spare me this time, I will definitely correct my evil ways and start anew as a demon."

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage was truly scared to pee, begging Chu Hao bitterly.

"Then quickly confess the whole story, and perhaps I can give you a lighter punishment."

Chu Hao didn't care about the life or death of this Nine Spirits Primordial Sage. This was just a pawn after all.

But the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage was a key figure in indicting Qinghua Great Emperor. With his confession, Qinghua Great Emperor would no longer be able to make any excuses.

"I'll tell, I'll tell, all of this was instructed by Qinghua Great Emperor. I was just following orders. Qinghua Great Emperor has secretly colluded with the Western Paradise, becoming the Western Paradise's internal spy in the Heavenly Court."

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage seemed very loyal to Qinghua Great Emperor, but in the face of a life-or-death test, his loyalty vanished.

The Nine Spirits Primordial Sage revealed Qinghua Great Emperor's crimes in order to exchange for a chance to live.
