Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Su Jinyan smiled and turned around at the sound of hurried footsteps behind her.

"Waaaah, Xingbao, Yanqing..."

Tears welled in Huo Huo's beautiful eyes, and her snow-white legs trembled. She had arrived too late after all.

As soon as everyone returned to the Netherworld, Huo Huo, feeling extremely uneasy, specially dispatched many golden soul-reaping messengers.

For some reason, all the judges of the Netherworld went out on missions tonight.

In the ghost-catching team, only Huo Huo, the apprentice judge, belongs to the Netherworld and can command the Golden Soul-Catching Envoy.

However, because Huo Huo is a trainee judge, the application process is inevitably somewhat slow.

It was only a short delay, yet it led to such a serious tragedy.

Only the belief in her heart was still struggling to sustain Huo Huo.

Otherwise, given Huo Huo's personality, she would have fainted from fright long ago.

"Why did you do this?" Huo Huo asked, tears welling in her eyes.

Su Jinyan said calmly, "Huo Huo, the question you asked is quite ridiculous and stupid. Why?"

"Do we at Suiyang need a reason to do these things?"

"If I said it was for revenge, revenge against you judges, would you feel any better?"

Huo Huo's lips were bitten until they bled: "That's too much... way too much..."

"Everyone, don't hold back, give it your all!"

Upon receiving Huo Huo's order, the group of golden soul-reapers immediately sprang into action, unleashing unparalleled and formidable strength.

Huo Huo hid behind the Jin man's soul-reaping envoy, waving a small command flag as she healed Yan Qing and Xing's injuries.

The Jin people who retrieve souls inscribed the "Ten Kings' Martial Classic" and were law enforcement Jin people who obeyed the orders of the Ten Kings' Office.

Its flesh and blood are easily afflicted by the suffering of the five aggregates, but only metal and iron can keep its mind unmoved and obey the orders of the ten kings without wavering.

Such ingenious bodies are indestructible; if these golden soul-reapers swarm them and seize the initiative, ordinary people would find it very difficult to fight back.

"His crimes are unforgivable!"

Numerous golden figures, wielding golden and iron folding fans, swept forward with great force.

The dazzling array of gold and iron folding fans seemed to tear the air apart.

Like a butterfly fluttering among flowers, it brushes past Su Jinyan without touching him in the slightest.

The golden enforcers of the Ten Kings of Luofu strictly adhere to the laws engraved in their Jade Signs, and will not cause Su Jinyan any harm.

Su Jinyan's eyes were indifferent. He simply raised his hand slightly, and the sound of metal clashing echoed in the corridor.

The golden enforcers present seemed to have made a pact, clashing and killing each other in pairs.

"How, how could it be?"

Huo Huo's beautiful emerald eyes trembled violently, unable to comprehend the scene before her.

Her snow-white calves trembled violently, and she could barely hold the command flag in her hand. She could only watch as Su Jinyan walked towards her step by step.

"A talisman, a talisman, a talisman..."

Huo Huo's delicate, snow-white hands formed a hand seal.

Several yellow, comical paper figures suddenly flew over and stuck tightly to Su Jinyan's chest.

However, this slight slowdown was not enough to stop him.

Every time Su Jinyan takes a step forward.

Huo Huo's overburdened heart would tremble, and her beautiful emerald eyes would overflow with even more tears.

Seeing Huo Huo's pitiful little expression, Su Jinyan couldn't help but wonder.

Have I been pushing Huo Huo too hard?

Perhaps my expectations for Huo Huo were too high, which unconsciously increased the difficulty of the trial.

Su Jinyan walked slowly to Huo Huo and raised his longsword high: "Your expression is really good, Huo Huo."

"Let's end all of this..."

"If you are willing to surrender and kneel down to show your submission, I may consider sparing your life."

The overwhelming sense of oppression made Huo Huo tightly close her beautiful eyes.

In that instant, countless fragments flashed through Huo Huo's mind:

Poor and weak Huo Huo is a very kind child.

In Huo Huo's original plan, she was just an ordinary fox-person girl, so she should grow up in an ordinary way.

He entered school as an ordinary person, graduated as an ordinary person, set up a small stall, married an ordinary person, and lived an ordinary life.

When Huo Huo was little, she saw a small, dying flame in a corner of Luofu.

Just because she took the initiative to save a small flame back then, Huo Huo's future life was thus urged to keep moving forward.

Huo Huo only remembered that it had fallen alone by the roadside and was about to go out. She... she just wanted to help it.

This seemingly ordinary decision changed Huo Huo's life.

The Ten Kings received a distress call, and the crow was ordered to patrol, where it found the little fox-woman girl who was about to be devoured by the sun.

Seeing that the little girl was young and frail, and that Sui Yang was no ordinary person, they knew that if they tried to forcibly remove him, he would surely be killed.

In desperation, the crow had no choice but to write a talisman and subdue the sun god on the fox-girl's tail.

Suiyang is short-tempered and arrogant, but he is not incapable of communicating.

It couldn't stand Huo Huo's whining and didn't quite understand the fox people's social interactions—a little girl would be ostracized by her classmates because her "tail was on fire".

Because she saved Weiba back then, Huo Huo's classmates, friends, and family gradually distanced themselves from her and left her.

Huo Huo said that the tears she shed over the years when she regretted her decisions must have been the result of the foolishness that got into her brain when she made those decisions.

Even today, she still hasn't cried enough to clear the water out of her head.

She wasn't indifferent to her own cowardice; she tried to cultivate the courage to overcome evil.

She stayed up all night watching low-budget horror-comedy films in an attempt to toughen up, but all she got were dark circles under her eyes.

She spent all her money on new scientific exorcism tools to enhance her combat power, but it only made her wallet even emptier.

Huo Huo once thought that after losing her tail, she would become a burden to the Ten Kings and a useless person.

However, Su Jinyan gently told Huo Huo that she had great potential.

Everyone has something worth protecting.

A true swordsman doesn't use his sword to sheath, but to nurture his will and soul.

The same applies to trainee judges; we should always uphold our duties as judges.

Even when faced with the most desperate situation, one must never abandon the sword hidden in one's heart.

Huo Huo didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before.

At that time, Su Jinyan said: "If one day you also have someone or something you want to protect, you will understand."

"no way......"

Huo Huo resolutely opened her beautiful emerald eyes and spoke very softly.

Su Jinyan wondered if she had misheard: "Huh?"

Huo Huo sobbed uncontrollably, struggling to form hand seals, her voice weak yet firm: "N-N-N-I will never...surrender!"

More and more comical little yellow paper figures floated in front of Su Jinyan.

"You think you can beat me with just these methods?"

Su Jinyan was in a good mood and slowly raised his sword.

at this time.

A muffled thud came from Su Jinyan's chest.

A section of a butterfly knife pierced his internal organs.

Su Jinyan turned her body stiffly.

Sambo's face was stern, and his wet hair was dripping water.

Su Jinyan coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest: "You were already fully recovered?"

“Suiyang, I don’t know if anyone has told you this.”

"The most untrustworthy thing in this world is the lie of the masked fool..."

Sangbo raised the Hidden Moon Gourd and pointed it at Su Jinyan: "If that guy hadn't sealed off old Sangbo's fate, you would be dead by now."

"However, now that I have destroyed your vital organs, you—"

Su Jinyan swung her sword backhand.

Sambo's neck gushed blood instantly, and he collapsed with a thud.
