Chapter 1299 Excused But Wrong


    Raul''s clever defense left the other novice ghosts reluctantly nodding in agreement. They, too, felt


    helpless. If they could live a simple life, they’d be more than happy to abide by thews. It was true that


    cultivated resources were too scarce, and The Order''s oppression made life difficult. They felt like they


    couldn''t breathe, and their situation was bing increasingly dire. If one day only a few could


    survive, they wouldpete fiercely, even risking their lives to do so.


    Seeing the King of Hell remaining silent, Raul secretly felt hopeful. I think I still have a chance!


    The King of Hell before him appeared to be just a child, after all. However capable a child might be,


    could their maturity match that of an adult? Children were generally more easily swayed, especially


    when others acted pitifully.


    So, Raul sobbed and said, "King of Hell, the circumstances are the one to be med! The Order''s


    oppression has made survival difficult, forcing us to take these desperate measures. So many others


    are doing this out there and getting away with it too, so please spare me this time. I won''t dare to do it


    again, I swear..."


    Lilly returned to her senses and looked at Raul again.


    Just because many peoplemitted a certain wrongdoing and were not punished for it, did that really


    make their crimes less of a serious offense? Lilly waved her hand and took the destiny pen in her


    grasp, speaking coldly, "An additional punishment of eighteen Little Hells for bribing the King of Hell in


    public.”


    Raul''s eyes widened. Wait, wasn''t she agreeing with what I had said? Why is she still punishing me


    now? Raul couldn''t ept it, and he shouted and protested, but with a single gesture, Lilly sent him


    and the other two malignant spirits straight to Hell.


    The other spirits and ghosts were silent, not daring to make a sound. The novice ghosts were even

    more restless, neither daring to move nor speak, afraid that the King of Hell would settle scores right


    then and there with them.


    Lilly scanned the crowd and then said, "The heavens are watching.”


    She paused for a moment, furrowing her brow and rephrased herself. "The ultimate goal of cultivation


    is to examine your own conscience. What you do today will one daye back to you like a raging


    storm. Be careful!”


    Cultivation was a difficult process, and everyone faced challenges, but that didn''t mean it was right to


    lose one''s moralpass and ethics over it. They shouldn''t forget their principles and boundaries;


    otherwise, the entire underworld would be a hell. As Lilly thought about this, she suddenly froze.


    Wait a minute, the entire underworld turning into hell? For some reason, Lilly felt a chilling sensation


    running through her body, and her heart trembled.


    Crawford Ancestor, who had been immersed in awe of the little one''s rational judgment, immediately


    asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Lilly shook her head. "It''s nothing."


    The crowd of ghosts dispersed.


    Jalen, still trembling, finally realized that the King of Hell was easy to talk to and didn''t put on airs. She


    even told him to go about his business. As he left, he was still in a daze, taking a long time to regain his


    senses before rushing to find his boss.


    The King of Hell had checked into their inn! They couldn''t afford to be negligent.


    Once everyone had left, Lilly looked at Cloud, and Crawford Ancestor did the same as well. Cloud


    stood in ce, lost in thought. Crawford Ancestor asked, "Did you see that? Novice ghosts are not


    what you thought they were. Cruelty and bloodshed are everywhere."


    Lilly nodded, "Uncle Cloud, do you want to reconsider?"


    Although she was reluctant to part with Cloud, when he reincarnated, she could personally send him off


    and witness his birth. In the years toe, she could apany him through each life. Even though


    he wouldn''t recognize her each time, they could still get to know each other again.


    However, Cloud shook his head and, after experiencing the judgment of the King of Hell, he


    inexplicably felt a surge of determination. He clenched his fists and looked resolute. "No, Lilly, in the


    future, I will be as powerful as you. It''s embarrassing to admit, but I am so far behind you


    although I’m an adult. Hence, I will work harder and strive to catch up!"


    Lilly and Crawford Ancestor looked at each other, unsure of how to respond. With her gaze, she


    seemed to be saying, “Crawford Ancestor, didn''t you say we should persuade Uncle Cloud?”


    Crawford Ancestor used his gaze to respond. “Damn it, the more we try to persuade him, the more


    determined he bes! What kind of logic is this?”


    No, this wasn''t working. Maybe showing him something that was more direct would help...


    After Raul was sentenced to punishment in Hell, the news quickly spread through the entire street. The


    ghosts that had been lurking in secret started to be restless. With the absence of the ghost lord in


    the clothing store, there was now only a small female ghost selling clothes inside.


    The store had many valuable items and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! In the past, these


    hidden novice ghosts would have rushed in already. A shop with aw-breaking owner could be easily


    taken over, and whoever got there first could pick up all the valuable items. But now, they all knew that


    the King of Hell was on this street, and no one dared to make a move.


    In the second-floor clothing store, nna, the shop owner’s wife, was summoned in a hurry. She was


    in a state of anxiety and frustration. She had originally disagreed with her husband''s approach of


    waiting for unsuspecting customers to enter their shop before exploiting them. This disagreement had


    led her to leave and pursue her own path of cultivation, away from the shop. Little did she know that


    her husband would end up condemned to Hell.


    nna was well aware that countless eyes were watching her store from the outside. She was


    reluctant to hand over her shop and everything inside it. If she were to pack everything up and leave,


    she wouldn’t even be able to leave the ghost market. She had two choices now, either to try to secure


    or give up on the store. Since her husband was already in Hell, everything here was hers now, there


    was no reason for him to give it up.


    As she contemted her options, the manager from the inn at the end of the street suddenly


    approached her. "nna! I guess you''re thinking about how to secure your shop, aren''t you?"


    nna poured him some tea and asked sincerely, "Do you have any advice, Jalen?"


    Jalen chuckled and replied. "I wouldn''t dare call it advice! I just thought you should know that the Little


    King of Hell seems to have a strong liking for those special items in your shop..."


    nna frowned. "I''m aware of that, but I can''t give them away, can I? Isn''t that just inviting trouble?"


    The King of Hell was clear about her stance; she didn''t ept bribes. Jalen smiled faintly, "I''m not


    suggesting you approach the Little King of Hell. I''m suggesting you approach Crawford Ancestor. Do


    you know what Crawford Ancestor’s identity is? As long as he agrees to it, it''s as simple as a word from


    him to secure your shop!"


    nna seized this lifeline as if it were herst hope and asked eagerly, "What is his identity?"
