Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Not reaching the goal, unwilling to leave.

Upon hearing this, Wa Huang’s face was unsightly.

Wa Huang thought, ”Good, good, good!”

”You’re not playing fair, are you!”

The situation had developed far beyond what Xi Huang and Wa Huang had planned.

Since Wa Huang had already come forward to meet the Demon Lord and Buddha, they were already at a disadvantage.

At this moment, it was impossible to proceed at their own pace.

They could only hope to gain the upper hand within Buddha’s rhythm.

Even though Wa Huang was still stubborn, she understood in her heart that the situation couldn’t be reversed.

If they didn’t allow Buddha to achieve his goal, the battle would have to continue.

Facing one against two, Wa Huang had no chance of winning.

The Demon Lord was still eyeing Wa Huang like a hawk; continuing the fight would play right into the Demon Lord’s hands, who would seize the opportunity to strike hard.

However, to concede now would cause Wa Huang to lose face!

Today, being attacked by the Demon Lord and Buddha in Wa Huang’s Palace was already a great loss of face.

If she were to deliberately yield to Buddha and the Demon Lord, what face would Wa Huang have to show others afterward?

At this point, Wa Huang needed a way out.

If she wanted a way out, someone had to offer her one.

Thinking of this, Wa Huang looked at her big brother, Xi Huang.

Siblings shared a bond, and Xi Huang understood Wa Huang’s intentions well.

When Wa Huang cast her gaze over, Xi Huang knew he had to play the mediator and speak some conciliatory words.

”We all share existence in the Void, and grow within it. If we continue fighting, it won’t be good for any of us!”

”If we both get hurt, the only one to gain will be the Yin Celestial Son.”

”Matters should be discussed, working together to accomplish our goals,” Xi Huang said with some diplomacy, suggesting to Wa Huang, ”Sister, why not invite Buddha and the Demon Lord into the palace for detailed discussions?”

”Guests from afar should not be left outside,”

As Xi Huang spoke these words, Buddha immediately chuckled and agreed, ”Xi Huang is a wise man, well said!”

”Wa Huang, today’s matter is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding indeed!”

”I think we have truly fallen into the scheme of the Yin Celestial Son sowing discord!”

”Besides, the matter between you and the Yin Celestial Son was told to me by him personally.”

”I was confused for a moment, believing the Yin Celestial Son’s slander, but it is the Yin Celestial Son who truly defamed you.”

”The grievance has a head, the debt has an owner, for this slander of your innocence, you should seek the Yin Celestial Son.”

The more Buddha spoke, the more furious Wa Huang became, grinding her teeth in anger.

Of course, Wa Huang was not angry with Buddha, but with the Yin Celestial Son.

Wa Huang also knew that this was not something Buddha had fabricated; it was indeed told by the Yin Celestial Son.

”That bastard, the Yin Celestial Son, dares to slander my innocence!”

”After we seize the realms, I must capture him alive, skin him, draw his tendons, and let his soul endure the eternal torment of the Void Fire!” Wa Huang declared vehemently.

Wa Huang’s harsh words pleased Buddha greatly.

Because, Buddha’s purpose this time was to invite Wa Huang into an alliance, for the three of them to deal with the Yin Celestial Son together.

Buddha did not want Wa Huang to remain a bystander any longer!

Wa Huang’s harsh words signaled that the three of them now had a common goal.

”Indeed! Indeed!”

”Wa Huang is right; the Yin Celestial Son truly deserves to die!” Buddha agreed again, ”Wa Huang, let us enter the palace to discuss in detail.”

Since it had reached this point, with a way out presented.

If Wa Huang still refused to agree, it would seem ungrateful.

”Hmph!” Wa Huang snorted coldly, expressing her displeasure, then said to Buddha, ”Come in!”

”I want to hear what brought you to attack Wa Huang’s Palace with such force.”

After saying this, Wa Huang turned and entered Wa Huang’s Palace.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the faces of Buddha and the Demon Lord, who followed closely behind into the palace.

...

...

Inside Wa Huang’s Palace.

Wa Huang sat in the main seat, with the Demon Lord and Buddha on her right side, and Xi Huang on her left side.

Wa Huang looked at the Demon Lord and Buddha, furrowing her brow before asking, ”Why did you two go through so much trouble to come to Wa Huang’s Palace? Just say it directly.”

”If you two don’t give me an explanation for this matter, it won’t end well for us.”

As the saying goes, with reason, you can traverse the world; without it, you can’t take a step.

No matter how you put it, no matter where it escalates to, Wa Huang was on the side of reason.

After all, Wa Huang hadn’t even left her palace when the Demon Lord and Buddha fought their way in, causing a ruckus.

They even captured the Peacock Great Ming King and injured Xi Huang.

Though the Peacock Great Ming King was returned, and Xi Huang’s grievances were addressed.

Nonetheless, Wa Huang was defending her rightful position.

From start to finish, Wa Huang indeed had reason on her side.

But, with Wa Huang in the right, the Demon Lord felt wronged!

The Demon Lord thought, you beat me up like this, and still want us to give you an explanation; how absurd!

”Wa Huang, don’t you already know why we’re looking for you?”

”We’re in a heated fight with the Yin Celestial Son, while you’re just standing by, watching the fight from the mountains, is that appropriate?”

”I think you’re just waiting for us and the Yin Celestial Son to both be worn out, so you can take advantage!”

”Look at Buddha; his disciples have suffered heavy casualties, and a third of the Celestial Burial Temple was burned down, who will give him an explanation?” the Demon Lord tried to argue logically.

The Demon Lord spoke truthfully, and it seemed reasonable at first glance.

However, the logic could not stand.

In debates with the Demon Lord and Buddha, Wa Huang never needed to speak personally.

Because Wa Huang had Xi Huang as her spokesperson.

Xi Huang could be considered the diplomat of Wa Huang’s Palace.

In terms of clarity of mind, logical thinking, and debate skills, Xi Huang far surpassed Wa Huang.

Buddha’s eloquence was said to be as beautiful as a lotus, but Xi Huang’s eloquence was no less impressive.

After the Demon Lord finished speaking, Wa Huang glanced at Xi Huang, meaning: ”Brother, it’s your turn.”

”Take him on, leave the Demon Lord speechless.”

Receiving Wa Huang’s signal, Xi Huang slowly opened his mouth and said, ”First of all, the losses you two suffered this time stem from your actions against the Void Race.”

”We all know the strength of the Void Race; they are just like fish on a chopping board.”

”No one expected the Void Race to ally with the Yin Celestial Son. If you two had anticipated this, you wouldn’t have acted rashly, would you?”

”Therefore, Wa Huang’s Palace never intended to stand on the sidelines, watching the tigers fight. Instead, when you moved against the Void Race, you didn’t contact us at Wa Huang’s Palace to act together.”
