Chapter 2604
Still overwhelmed with excitement, Zhang Jue smiled at Laura and said, ''Laura, you've worked hard.
Let's take a break now." Laura nodded and turned to leave.
Zhang Jue looked around and gave instructions to his disciples to clean up the battlefield. Then,
he returned to his private room to cultivate and recuperate.
Zhang Jue meditated and cultivated in his private room for a while before closing his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, there was a gust of aura and then a figure emerged before Zhang Jue. The person wore a
black robe and hat. Under the hat was a pale and expressionless face.
Now alert, Zhang Jue immediately opened his eyes. He was taken aback by the man in black.
''Who are you?'' he asked, alarmed.
He knew this person was no ordinary man if he could enter his private room without him knowing.
The black-robed man smiled slightly and said in a faint tone, ''Zhang Jue, we met a thousand years ago. Have

The black-robed man wore a serious expression as he spoke, ''I am the envoy of the King of the Dead, Elon. A
thousand years ago, the King of the Dead summoned you. You were subdued by Lu Bu at that instance; we
thought you would realize your mistakes and repent after being subdued for a thousand years. However, to
our disappointment, you began doing evil deeds again after being freed. The King of the Dead has ordered
me to take you to him to atone for your sins.'' Elon sounded cold, as if he was speaking without feelings.
'What? It's him?' Zhang Jue shuddered when he heard what was going on. His body was dripping with cold sweat.
In the world of cultivators, righteous cultivators who had reached a certain level of strength would be able to
overcome the catastrophe and ascend. However, some cultivators did a lot of evil deeds and were unable to
ascend. If one were too vicious, the cultivator would be caught by the envoy of the King of the Dead and be
brought to the underworld for purgatory.
The underworld was the final destination of all sinful people in the world. It was located in the Ghost World.
A thousand years ago, Zhang Jue formed the Yellow Turban Rebellion and he caused chaos in the world. People
lost their homes and could not make a living. The King of the Dead sent his envoys to arrest Zhang Jue. At the
same time, Zhang Jue's behavior had caused great fury among the world of cultivators and the heroes
besieged him. Finally, Lu Bu captured him and imprisoned him in Lu Bu's ancient tomb.
Elon gave up on the arrest as he thought that Zhang Jue deserved the miserable ending. However, Zhang Jue was
unexpectedly free once again after a thousand years had passed. He continued to wreak havoc in The Nine
Continents.
Zhang Jue was still angry when he was reminded of the event.
After Zhang Jue realized what was happening, he became nervous and knelt before Elon. ''Your Excellency,
I know my mistakes and I have repented. Please pass on the message to the King of the Dead to give me a
chance.''
He was arrogant and never afraid of anything, but he knew he could not be brazen before the King of the
Dead. The King of the Dead would judge everyone in the entire world who did evil deeds in the end. That was
how powerful the King of the Dead was; everyone's life and fate were in his hands.
Elon was unfazed by Zhang Jue's claim. He replied coldly, ''Zhang Jue, whatever you say doesn't count. Come with
me to the King of the Dead! He'll decide if you've sincerely repented.''

want,'' Zhang Jue pleaded, but it was not hard to notice the gloomy chill in his eyes.
Elon was also a cultivator, and although he worked for the King of the Dead, Zhang Jue knew that the
King of the Dead had nine envoys in The Nine Continents.
They were in charge of affairs in The Nine Continent. Those envoys were all extremely gifted
and rarely showed up in front of people, but they would make an appearance once they encountered
sinister people.
Even an envoy of the King of the Dead needed treasures to enhance their strength.
Elon's eyes flickered when he heard Zhang Jue's suggestion. ''What treasures do you have? Take them
out and let's have a look.11
Zhang Jue had Elon figured out. Everyone has their weaknesses and selfish needs; even the envoy of
the King of the Dead was no exception to the rule.
''I'll take them out to show you!'' Zhang Jue said flatly. Then, he stood up and pretended to take
something out.
The moment he stood up, Zhang Jue roared, ''Go to hell!''
A powerful aura erupted from his body and he sent a palm attack straight at Elon's heart mercilessly.
