Originally, Shen Xianlai thought that the strongest combat unit in the Underworld was the Bull-headed Ghost. Only now did he realize that there was something even more terrifying than the Bull-headed Ghost.
Yakshas rarely appeared in the netherworld. They were only sent out to capture evil ghosts. Any Judge or City God would have a team of minotaurs at their fingertips. As a combat unit, Bull-headed Ghosts were actually the most common. All units above the City God level had Bull-headed Ghosts. Among them, the Bull-headed Ghosts under the direct command of the Ten Palaces were the most elite. However, even though the Ten Palaces Ox-head Army was directly under the Ten Palaces, it was actually commanded by the Judge, who had the status of Assistant Official of the Ten Palaces. These Judges who commanded the Ox-head Army of the Ten Palaces were the Commanders of the Royal Palace. Nominally, they were the highest ranking military officials under the Ten Palaces. As for the Yaksha Legion, it was a combat organization that only the Ten Palaces and above had. The authority to mobilize the Yaksha Legion was completely in the hands of the Ten Kings of Hell. Other than the Ten Kings themselves, no one else had the right to mobilize the Yaksha Legion. Even the higher-ups of the Ten Palaces, Plentiful Capital Emperor, had no right to bypass the Ten Palaces and directly command the Yaksha Legion.
Therefore, to the Ten Palaces, the most elite troops were the Yaksha Legion.
"Sending Yakshas to hunt me down, looks like I have quite the reputation.”Shen Xianlai thought as he fled.
In fact, Shen Xianlai was the root cause of the rebellion in the Southern Hell. It was only natural that the Yaksha Legion would hunt him down.
However, Shen Xianlai did not have the face to ask the Yaksha Legion to send a large group of people to hunt him down. There was only one Yaksha chasing after him.
While fleeing for his life, Shen Xianlai had met the Yaksha. That Yaksha was the same as the Bull-headed Demon. He didn't look like a human at all. The Bull-headed Demon had the head and lower body of a cow, and the torso of a human. On the Yaksha's forehead, there was a pair of 30-centimeter-long goat horns. It had dark green skin, a pair of bat-like wings, and the lower limbs of a goshawk. The other parts were naturally in human form.
The Yaksha was about 1.85 meters tall, which was considered very tall compared to Shen Xian. However, it was considered small compared to the two meters tall Ox Head. Compared to the Minotaur Demon, the Yaksha was considered " petite ". This was not only reflected in its height, but also in its body. The Minotaur Demon was thick and muscular, while the Yaksha was thin. This led to the difference in the way the Minotaur Ghosts and Yakshas moved. Yakshas were much more agile than minotaur ghosts. Yakshas had very strong Soul Transference abilities, while minotaur ghosts basically did not know how to do Soul Transference.
The Yaksha who was chasing Shen Xianlai did not know why he was sent to capture such a weak evil spirit. That Yaksha thought that he was one of the more elite Yakshas under the command of the Ten Palaces, and from Shen Xianlai's strength, he was only on par with those minotaurs.
When the Yaksha caught up to Shen Xianlai, Shen Xianlai still did not know what a Yaksha was. He thought that it was some kind of monster from the netherworld.
"Evil Spirit Shen Xianlai! His Highness King Chujiang, the halberd wielding Yaksha Chi Yu of the Yaksha Legion has come to capture you! Surrender quickly!" Yaksha suddenly berated.
Shen Xianlai was stunned for a moment. It was not because he was frightened by the Yaksha's words and was prepared to surrender. It was because this was the first time he had seen a real Yaksha. He wanted to confirm if the Yaksha was really like the legends.
The appearance of the Yaksha was indeed peculiar. The most peculiar thing was that the Yaksha was not a complete spirit body, but a creature that was in between a spirit body and a demon. Yakshas could materialize to a certain extent, and the materialization of spirit bodies was called demonization. The spirit bodies of the netherworld would mostly cultivate to become ghost immortals and enter the immortal path with pure spirit. Yakshas would mostly choose to transform into demons first and then cultivate to become demon immortals. Yakshas were rarely sent out to capture fugitives from the netherworld. One reason was that Yakshas were too dangerous for the ghosts of the netherworld. All Yakshas would have a strong desire to devour other spirits or corpses. This desire could not be suppressed. On the other hand, Yakshas were not the security equipment of the underworld, but war equipment.
There were four major hells in the Underworld, namely King Chujiang's Southern Hell, King Wuguan's Northern Hell, King Biancheng's Eastern Hell, and King Dushi's Western Hell. The four hells did not have a clear division of labor. The birthplace of the evil ghosts often determined which Earthly Prison they were sent to. The King of Hell was originally the first of the ten halls, and he was in charge of the Central Hell. The Central Hell and the current four hells were collectively known as the Five Hells of the Netherworld. Later, an emperor of the celestial heavens fought with the Jade Emperor for power and was knocked down. He brought one-third of the gods of the celestial heavens into the central hell of the netherworld and became the new master of the central hell. King Yama failed to stop the invasion of the Emperor and lost the Central Hell. He was punished by Emperor Plentiful City and retreated to the fifth palace. King Qinguang, who was originally from the second palace, was promoted to the first palace. The nominal authority of the Central Hell was still in the hands of the King of Hell. The yamen of the Central Hell was still there, but it was only in name.
The Ten Palaces still wanted to take back the Central Great Hell from the hands of the Great Lord of Hell who had fallen from Heaven. The Yaksha Legion of the Ten Palaces was trained to wage war against the Central Great Hell and take it back. However, ever since the Great Lord of Hell and his Meteorite Army occupied the Central Great Hell, the Ten Palaces had not achieved a single major victory. After all, the Fallen Star Army was the main force of the Heavenly Court. They had one-third of the original Heavenly Court's numbers, and their combat strength was also equivalent to one-third of the original Heavenly Court's. How could Yin Si, who had always been under the control of the Heavenly Court, be their match? However, the strange thing was that Emperor Plentiful Capital had never personally launched an attack on the Fallen Star Army, and the Ten Palaces had never cooperated with the troops sent by the Heavenly Court to attack the Fallen Star Army. Although the Jade Emperor had issued a jade edict to the Underworld, ordering them to conquer the Fallen Star Army, the Ten Palaces 'conquest of the Fallen Star Army did not seem to be in accordance with the Jade Emperor's edict. It seemed to be only to recapture the Central Great Hell.
Shen Xianlai was stunned as he carefully observed the Yaksha. The Yaksha had already spread its wings and pounced at Shen Xianlai. Its lower limbs were like eagle claws, like an eagle pouncing on its prey. Shen Xianlai, who was standing there in a daze, was like a stupid chick that had been infected with the chicken plague.
A smile appeared on the Yaksha's face. His strong and powerful lower limbs, that pair of eagle-like claws, would definitely be able to tear Shen Xianlai into two pieces in an instant. Although this operation was to capture and not kill, Yaksha still decided to use his lower limbs to cause great harm to Shen Xian. As a Yaksha, he yearned for bloody massacres. Moreover, Shen Xianlai was a ghost and not a living person. Even if he was torn in half, he had the ability to recover.
The smile on Yaksha's face suddenly froze because his lower limbs grabbed nothing. Shen Xianlai was no longer in that position.
To the Yaksha, something even more terrifying happened. The wings on its back suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if a great force had suddenly exploded behind it. The Yaksha felt pain on its back and staggered to the ground.
