Black clouds press down on the city

nt guardian spirit, should be quite strong."Lord Quan Heng The Emperor sent him to guard the little emperor and the fairy, he's not in the underworld, Lady Xiao you don't know" the little demon said.I..."Your Majesty... this way..." A shadowy official bowed to guide me.

Hundreds of phantom soldiers followed me, and the Black Grim Reaper and Ox-Head Marshal stood guard behind them. The oppressive aura chilled me to the bone.

The shadowy official led me away from the main group a short distance, keeping within range of their arrival while trying to minimize our exposure to their aura.

I have seen this underworld official a few times, but I still don't know his name and position. His attire is different from ordinary underworld officials. I cautiously asked: "Excuse me... Does the Heavenly Emperor summon so many underworld deities... Is the situation very serious"

The Yin official hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully to me and said: "My Lady, there is no need to worry too much. The Underworld and the Demon Realm often interact, and clashes are not uncommon... Besides, summoning the Underworld minions to hunt down escaped ghosts is justified, and it would not incur the wrath of the Jade Emperor."

Oh... This petty official is quite perceptive. He guessed what I was worried about.

"That female ghost... once escaped from Mount Xuwu" I followed the Yin official's steps, he floated while I walked quickly.

"... It's said to be... an event from eight hundred years ago. Details are likely hazy, requiring careful investigation of the cause and effect... But since the Seventh Deity himself stated it, it should be true."

"What kind of person was that ghost in life She seems really powerful..."

The Yin official pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice: “I was ordered to investigate her past life. This female ghost was the granddaughter of a certain Khan, and her mother was a powerful figure who was even named as the guardian princess… This female ghost wanted to emulate her mother, but she went astray and fell into the path of demons.”

"She really is a princess from another race"

"Well... but by this time, her mother's glory had gradually faded, so she did many wicked things out of desire..."

Is it simply because she's doing evil Then why does Qixing have a grudge against her

With a disposition like Bai Wu Chang's, who seemed to care about nothing, how could he possibly care about a mere mortal who had done so much evil

The clerk glanced around, raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and whispered: "It seems... when the princess was alive, she almost harmed the Lady of Unlife... back then, the Lady of Unlife wasn't the Lady of Unlife yet... But she has already been reincarnated twice, both times taken by the Seventh Master..."

The shady official gave me a "hush" gesture.

It turns out that you hurt the Goddess of Impermanence... No wonder the Seventh King holds such a grudge.

"Your Majesty, your elder brother is here. After all, he's a mortal, and if we get too close, the yin energy might harm his body. My subordinates are guarding him here..." The Yin Official bowed to me and brought me to the front gate of the sanatorium.

This convalescent home was very small, just a three-and-a-half story building. My brother found some medical supplies in the first floor lobby and treated the man's wounds.

When I went in, my brother turned to look at me and said, “This guy has too many old and new injuries. It’s really abnormal… No wonder he looks like he’s possessed by a ghost. He’s so thin… He needs to be sent to the big hospital.”

I found a bench and sat down, clutching the Soul Lamp in my bag. I whispered to my brother, "Things are getting pretty bad outside. Jiang Qiyun told us not to leave on our own and just find somewhere safe to hide."

My brother frowned, put down the cotton swab in his hand, and walked over to ask, "What's wrong What happened outside"

I never expected the disturbances in the demon realm to be this frequent. Even with mental preparation, it's difficult to withstand their wave after wave of temptations and assaults.

It seems they won't give up until they open the channel.

"Brother... if... demons enter the world, what will we do" I looked at him with concern.

My brother gave me a stunned look: "When the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. What's there to worry about"

He paused, raising an eyebrow: "Besides, there are no ifs in this world, only results."

"This isn't the first time the Demon Realm has stirred, there's no need for us to get worked up. Life and death are a matter of fate, wealth and honor are from heaven. Those thousand-year-old honored gods can worry about it; we should just keep doing what we do... At worst, we stay home, avoid going anywhere, and just live our lives tending the little shop." My brother shrugged and glanced outside.

"Well, well, what a grand gathering...are we stuck here then"

I nodded, feeling a bit uneasy.

I never expected this resort to become a "battlefield".

A hush will fall here... That, that... the one who once captured my Lord, could he also appear

He doesn't act like a normal "person".

Suddenly, a frenzied and shrill laughter echoed from outside. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing myself to stay calm, not panic, not panic. Jiang Qiyun is here, I just need to stay put and protect myself.

My older brother has a stronger mental fortitude than I do. He can even open the window and lean on the sill to talk to the grim reapers outside.

"Uncle Eight," my brother called out.

Hei Wu Chang, with a cold face, drifted over and asked, "What is it Does the little Empress have any orders"

"No...she's so well-behaved, she wouldn't give orders... It's me who wants to ask you, is it possible to enter and exit this area now" My brother asked.

Hei Wu Chang always had a stern face, and I wasn't very comfortable talking to him. My brother, however, didn't seem to care at all about his expression. He pointed to the man on the armchair and said: "There's an extra person here, he lost quite a bit of blood. If we don't take him to the hospital, he'll probably die. So I wanted to ask you, can he walk now"

Heiwu Chang shook his head and said, "The Emperor's order was to have the little lady stay somewhere, he didn't say she had to leave first, so she can't go."

My brother was amused by his words: "Xiao Qiao won't leave, can I go first I'll take this burden to the hospital first."

The black-browed no-face shook his head and said, "Perhaps it's best not to leave... The energy here is fluctuating. There are Emperor Jun and Bai Wuchang's protective barriers around us, so it's relatively safe here. Who knows how many small demons and monsters have escaped the barrier" He pointed toward..."

He pointed to the funnel-shaped black clouds in the sky. "There," he said, "that's the rift to the demon realm."

Hearing the creak of a space fissure, I quickly got up and went behind my brother, following Hei Wu Chang's direction.

In the center of the funnel-shaped black cloud, there was a rotating hole, layers of black clouds being sucked in by the opening, surging like waves.

Amidst it, crimson lightning flashed repeatedly, like claws tearing through the night.

"Shun whispered, 'Last time, after I received your blood, it was really helpful... Is that because of me'" I asked nervously.

Black No. Chang glanced at me: "Little Empress, in the depths of Netherworld's Xuwei Mountain, such a situation rarely occurs…"

He seemed to be comforting me, then continued, “Back when the Emperor was in seclusion, there were still demons who tried to invade the Underworld... Maintaining the stability of the underworld and ensuring the balance of reincarnation is our duty as the gods of the Netherworld. We've been fighting for thousands of years, it’s nothing strange, not something you caused.”

"But before... there has never been such a large passage opened in the human world!" I saw the faintly crimson lightning, my heart was filled with anxiety.

Hei Wu Chang said in a serious tone: "That's because this female ghost, she is both a soul and a demon. She fled to the human world to create a ghost lair with heavy Yin energy, allowing the Demon Realm to open a passage through it."

"So this heavily overcast barrier, it actually plays right into her hands Then shouldn't we ask the Emperor and Bai Wu Chang to remove the barrier" I asked.

Hei Wu Chang shook his head. "Break the barrier Allow this spatial rift to open in the human world Where will we go to hunt down the demons that leak out"

Well, this...ike an old tree root! What in the world is it!" Ji Dou cursed as he jumped back.He stood beside Jiang Qiyun, raised his hand to form a seal, and a ray of light shot up into the sky. However, it was ex...
