Chapter 1515 - Forr Subordinates From the Grave
In the primordial tis, on a chaotic battlefield, a thick-browed, large-eyed youth with a horned helt held a damaged battle axe. Blood flowed down the edge. Who knew how many lives he had claid already, yet his eyes were lost.
With the mighty dragon’s cry, a giant dragon soared through the air, riding on the winds. The huge wings took up half the sky, looming over the entire battlefield. It dove down to swallow him in a single gulp.
The youth let out a furious roar, raising the battle axe to receive the giant dragon.
Within the dazzling light, the youth saw a man standing on the dragon who waved his hand gently. The giant dragon imdiately closed its wings and mouth.
The battle axe missed, leaving behind a great crack on the ground, stretching over to a mountain in the distance that collapsed with a great boom.
The man smiled. “I rember you. You’re call A’pang, right?”
The young man shivered. He found the man far more terrifying than the giant dragon, actually afraid to et his eyes. “Yeah, I’m A’pang!”
“A’pang, you’ve already been defeated. Will you surrender?”
“No, we haven’t been defeated yet!”
At this mont, the youth saw many familiar figures behind the man. He flew into a rage. “You traitors!”
So of them averted their gazes, and so sighed and tried to persuade him. “A’pang, we’ve been defeated. We should submit.” Others were very irritated. “You’re just a nobody. Why should you die for…” They showed a hint of awkwardness, omitting the na.
The man who rode the dragon waved his hand, and everyone fell quiet. “If you don’t surrender, then there will only be death. I can tell you’re a fine child. I don’t want to kill you. Do you really want to die?”
The youth lowered his head deeply and trembled even harder. He did not fear those damned traitors, no matter how powerful they were. However, he feared the man who rode the dragon, no matter how gentle his voice was.
And he feared death. He wanted to continue living, even if it was just another day.
He lowered the battle axe in his hand.
As a result, he lived, and he lived a hundred tis, a thousand tis longer than he had originally anticipated. He even beca soone who could decide the fates of others.
His duties as an officer of the underworld allowed him to avoid many great crises, which was sothing he felt extrely glad about. However, he was also aware that more importantly, he was just a nobody. He could not change the overall situation. No one needed him to do anything either.
This was fine. This was fine…
Until one day, a voice said to him, “A’pang, can you help out?”
The familiar tone and voice seed to have never been tarnished by the passage of ti, calling him over to do sothing small that was within his abilities.
He saw a black ox with a broken horn whose eyes were gentle and tired. “You’re… you’re…”
“Kid, have you even forgotten about ?”
“Your majesty!” He knelt down on the ground. “I would never forget!” His heart trembled, perhaps out of excitent and perhaps out of fear.
“Has hell adopted these rules and customs as well? Get up, I’m not that guy, nor do I need any your majesty or his majesty. I’m just an old guy who’s co to ask for your help.”
He felt terribly ashad, standing up in a hurry, “Your majesty- what do you need to do?”
“My fifth brother is with you, right?”
“Yes… This… I might not…”
He shuddered inside and frantically looked for a way out of this. He was just a asly Hell Guard. He could not afford to beco involved, yet he was also afraid that he had declined too bluntly. The person before him only needed a single thought to claim his asly life.
“I don’t want you to release my fifth brother. I have a little brother called Li Qingshan. He’ll arrive in the six realms of sa?sāra in the future. I want you to take him and visit my fifth brother.”
“Li Qingshan!”
He had never heard that na before. He probably was not soone important. After all, he had not spent all these years living for nothing. Whether it was the six realms of sa?sāra or beyond the Nine Heavens, he had already familiarised himself with all the major figures.
“He’s a mortal, but in a few years’ ti, he should have a reasonable cultivation.” The black ox was rather proud.
He suddenly felt a little unconvinced. He’s just a re mortal, so what right does he have to be referred to as ‘little brother’ by him? Bringing people down to hell is my job, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. However, as soon as he thought of everything involved, he began to falter again.
“If it’s too difficult, it’s fine. If it weren’t for my circumstances, I wouldn’t have wanted to disturb you any further either.”
“Y- you know I’m in the Hell realm?”
“Of course. Ox-headed A’pang. Who hasn’t heard of that na? Who doesn’t know who you are?”
The black ox smiled at him, entering a slight trance for a mont as if he had recalled the extrely distant past. Suddenly, he returned to his senses. “Alright, I need to go! Old guys like just love thinking about the past. I’m very happy that you can continue living. Far too many clansn that don’t deserve death have already died. It’s ti to settle this once and for all.”

He shuddered inside, We’re of the sa race. In the past, I was also his little brother! Yet now, I suspect that he’ll harm . Before I even knew it, have I also begun to believe those slanders?
“Just what right does a treacherous traitor like have to be burdened with such a heavy task? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell out this Li Qingshan?”
“Kid, what nonsense are you on? Your path is for you to walk. As long as you don’t let yourself down, that’s enough! Why do you need to take responsibility for ? If you really want to talk about responsibility, it was who was defeated back then. That guy has already been good enough to you. At least it’s better than sending you to your death. However, you better not divulge this, or I really won’t spare you.”
It was better described as an earnest warning than a threat, afraid that he would make the wrong choice in a mont of poor judgent.
“Aren’t I a traitor? That had bothered him ntally for all his life.
On the Road to the Yellow Springs, Li Qingshan grabbed Ox-headed A’pang’s shoulders and shook him forcefully. “Tell , where is he? Don’t tell he’s locked up in the Hell realm? Alright, I’ll go and save him right now!”
“How?” Ox-headed A’pang could not help but question him. This kid who was nowhere near as powerful as him could actually co up with such great boasts.
“You still have to ask how? Old brother A’pang, I didn’t know you were an undercover spy who infiltrated the enemy. I have said many insulting words earlier, so please forgive .”
Li Qingshan did not suspect this to be so kind of trap by the enemy, as his strength right now truly amounted to nothing. Sches were completely unnecessary. Just sending over a few Hell Guards was enough to deal with him.
And right now, this ox seed friendly no matter how he looked at him. As he gazed at the moist fur on his face, he simply did not have the heart to hurt him any further.
My great mocking technique is far too powerful. Isn’t this friendly fire? Look at how I’ve wronged him. I need to console him quickly so that I can ask him where brother ox is.
“You were right. I am a traitorous dog!” Ox-headed A’pang said indifferently.
Li Qingshan thought he was still venting, so he felt even more sorry. “How are you one? Look at your thick brows, large eyes, and dignified bearing. You stand head and shoulders above all oxen!”
As a result, Ox-headed A’pang told him about the defeat and surrender from back then, but because there were far too many nas he could not ntion, he only gave a rough summary.
Li Qingshan was astounded inside. Never did I think that a thick-browed and large-eyed fellow like you would also be a traitorous revolutionary! Brother ox sure is big-hearted to send a damned traitor to receive . What if this bastard sells out?
Ox-headed A’pang sneered. “Are you still bold enough to go to hell with ?”
“Since he trusts you, then I trust you too. So what if we go to hell?”
“What if I sell you out?”
“Then that’s our poor judgent. We can’t bla anyone else. Though, you had no other choice than to surrender after being defeated. However, if you dare to betray , even if brother ox wants to spare your life, I’ll never spare you!”
Paying back kindness was paying back kindness, while settling grievances was settling grievances. Kindness and grievances were clearly distinct. They had nothing to do with one another.
When Ox-headed A’pang heard that, he instead began to laugh. This personality. No wonder, no wonder! He stood up and brushed off the dust. “Don’t worry, I won’t surrender again this ti!
He gave off a sense of determination. Li Qingshan was very familiar with this aura. That was wagering his life to do sothing.
Ox-headed A’pang bowed deeply towards him. “Kid, I was testing you earlier, to see whether you had the right to bear such a great responsibility. I’ll apologise to you. Though, I do feel much better after being cursed by you! Your mouth is a little too sharp. You should get your tongue removed in hell!”
Li Qingshan rubbed his head in embarrassnt. “Haha, you’re too kind, you’re too kind!”
The corner of Ox-headed A’pang’s eye twitched. I was praising you?
“Let’s go! There’s still a long road ahead!”
The Road to the Yellow Springs stretched endlessly. Within the yellow sand, the two of them walked together. As they spoke and laughed, they had already beco friends.
After a series of questions, Li Qingshan learnt that brother ox was not in the Hell realm. He was off to see another Great Sage, one that had been suppressed in the very depths of Avīci. Due to “censorship”, it was inappropriate to ntion his na.
He finally stopped worrying. Compared to that unreliable woman Su Mirao, now this was a proper guide.
After hearing about Ruin’s End, Ox-headed A’pang also guessed which Great Sage it was supposed to be, but for the sa reason, his na could not be ntioned either.
As a result, he took out his alcohol pouch, and the two of them had a hearty drink. They cussed out one another, basically just sothing to go with the drinking.
Li Qingshan took advantage of his tipsiness to ask, “Aren’t you reluctant to beco involved in this ss? Why’d you agree then?”
“I originally thought that anything was better than dying, even if it was just a horrible life.” Ox-headed A’pang took a vicious swig of alcohol.
“And now?”
Ox-headed A’pang exhaled. “I don’t want to be a dog anymore.” His eyes burned with flas, the flas of war that had been extinguished for thousands of years.
This ti, if he lost, then he would be perishing in battle.
There was actually no delight behind dragging out an ignoble existence at all.
