Nobody said a single word.

The two Judge-class experts were completely silent. They had expected the negotiations to proceed formally and with great sobriety. In fact, they were even prepared to adjourn to a conference room promptly after introductions, where the top brass of the mortal realm would begin to consult with Hell how they should best go about quelling the supernatural outbreaks across the nation.

None of them had ever expected the negotiations to proceed on an open-and-shut basis.

“Could it be that… Hell has no intentions of intervening with the outbreaks in the mortal realm?” Yu Guanzhu’s heart sank as he murmured back.

Qin Ye smiled as the flickering netherflames in his eyes turned to Yu Guanzhu, “Don’t overthink things. Like I said, Hell and the mortal realm are like two sides of the same coin. Without Hell, it’s only going to be a matter of time before the mortal realm collapses. At the same time, Hell cannot possibly exist without the mortal realm either. You are us, and we are you. As long as either one of us faces a problem, the other would most certainly reach out with unconditional assistance. It’s not that Hell isn’t willing to lend the mortal realm a hand right now. Rather, the heart is willing, but the flesh is weak. King Yanluo has personally asked me to relay his promise to the mortal realm - as soon as Hell resolves the issues plaguing it, Hell will immediately send troops into the mortal realm to reap all souls that are lingering where they shouldn’t be!”

Not a single person objected to what Qin Ye had just mentioned.
