"This is not a good thing," Xiaomei said.
"How could this happen? Weren't those Evil Spirits locked up in the dungeon before? How did they get out?" Captain Wu frowned as he spoke.
Xiaomei suddenly walked outside, and seeing this, I followed her. Xiaomei was staring at a certain spot, and when I looked over, I saw a plume of black mist rising not far away, directly opposite the dungeon.
"What is going on?" I asked Xiaomei.
Xiaomei turned to look at me, just as Captain Wu stepped out and spotted the black mist. "Could it be caused by the disturbances three days ago?" he suggested.
Captain Wu's words reminded me that if that were the case, we had stirred up trouble and would need to capture those Evil Spirits back.
"If they merge with the Ghost Gate Cult, it will be a real problem," Xiaomei said.
Upon hearing this, Captain Wu tensed up and looked at me. "Little brother, if that's the case, we need to return to the human realm immediately. It won't be good if something major happens."
Captain Wu's expression was very urgent. I understood his feelings; after all, he was the King of the Underworld now. If the heavens decided to hold him accountable, it wouldn't end well for him.
"Yes, let's go back now," I reassured Captain Wu.
He nodded, but at that moment, Xiaomei spoke up. "No, going now would be reckless."
"Are we just going to let this develop?" Captain Wu exclaimed in frustration.
I walked over to Xiaomei and pulled her aside, giving a sympathetic glance at Captain Wu. "You should help Captain Wu."
Xiaomei sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to help him. Just think about it—if you go to capture those Evil Spirits now, won't you be exposing your identity right in front of the Ghost Gate Sect Master? Although time is of the essence, we should first devise a plan to ensure everything goes smoothly."
Suddenly, I felt a sense of realization. If that were the case, Captain Wu couldn't accompany us; he needed to stay in the Underworld to guard it. Xiaomei and I would return to the human realm, continuing our disguise to get close to the Ghost Gate Sect Master while also capturing the Evil Spirits that had escaped from the Underworld.
After considering this, I gathered Captain Wu and Xiaomei together and shared my thoughts with them.
Captain Wu and Xiaomei fell silent. Watching them not speak made me anxious, so I asked if they thought it was feasible.
Xiaomei glanced at Captain Wu before turning to me. "You need to ask Captain Wu if he can handle such an important role alone in the Underworld."
Captain Wu paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No, it's still a bit overwhelming for me here in the Underworld. You both know my situation; I went from being an ordinary person to becoming the King of Hell. I'm already quite anxious inside, and since I've just taken over, there are still many things I don't know how to handle."
I frowned. Captain Wu had a point, but we couldn't just leave the Underworld unattended. The Underworld needed a king, which left me feeling very conflicted.
"I've got it! Wang Niu, call the child out," Xiaomei said excitedly.
I nodded and called the child over. Xiaomei immediately addressed him, saying, "You stay here with Captain Wu to help manage things in the Underworld. Once we've dealt with matters above, we'll come back for you."
The child looked surprised as he glanced at Captain Wu, seemingly unable to comprehend why Captain Wu had become the King of Hell. Nevertheless, he nodded and agreed.
Before we left, Xiaomei asked Captain Wu for the Yin Ring he had on him, saying it would be useful.
Captain Wu was generous and didn't hesitate; he simply took off the ring and handed it to Xiaomei.
After everything was arranged, Xiaomei and I felt relieved and returned to the human realm. On our way back, just to be safe, Xiaomei suggested that I revert to my previous appearance while she took on the guise of Captain Wu.
"Wait, what reason do we have to go back?" I pondered for a moment and asked Xiaomei.
"We can say that the King of Hell has controlled us, and this Yin Ring is the best evidence," Xiaomei replied.
Looking at the Yin Ring that Xiaomei had taken out, I understood her plan and nodded in agreement. We arrived at the school, where a large number of Ghost Gate Cult members had gathered in front of a big tree.
"What’s going on here?" I sensed something was off; this was a full mobilization of the Ghost Gate Cult, and the situation seemed quite serious.
"There must be something wrong," Xiaomei said.
My heart began to race as I noticed the Ghost Gate Sect Master among them. He appeared to be speaking to the members of the Ghost Gate Cult, his expression frightening. After a while, they started moving in a particular direction.
Xiaomei's gaze was fixed on where they were headed.
"Where are they going?" I asked, curious about Xiaomei's changing expressions. It seemed she knew where they were headed.
"They seem to be going to the heavens," Xiaomei said.
"You mean they're going to the heavens?" I was taken aback. Was there really a path from the human realm to the heavens?
Xiaomei turned to look at me and said, "Yes. Ever since the order between the heavens, Underworld, and human realm was disrupted, some people took advantage of the chaos to forge a path from the human realm to the heavens."
"Is it the Ghost Gate Cult?" I blurted out.
Xiaomei furrowed her brow slightly, deep in thought before saying, "I'm not sure, but the Ghost Gate Cult definitely seems suspicious. After all, this would be highly beneficial for them."
As I watched the members of the Ghost Gate Cult about to disappear from our sight, I felt a pang of anxiety and asked Xiaomei if we should follow them. Xiaomei shook her head and said, "Not yet. Eventually, the people in the sky will confront the Ghost Gate Cult. Who knows who will win or lose? We shouldn't get involved."
I nodded, recalling what the woman had told us about the Listening Pavilion.
"How about we take this opportunity to go to the Listening Pavilion?" I suggested to Xiaomei.
"What kind of place is that?" Xiaomei asked, momentarily confused.
I explained it to her, and as if she had thought of something, she nodded and said, "That sounds good. We can meet that divine beast there. Perhaps we can take this chance to deal with the Ghost Gate Cult."
After discussing our plan, Xiaomei and I headed into the lair of the Ghost Gate Cult. However, we hadn't taken more than a few steps when we encountered Yin Official and A Yao from before.
My heart skipped a beat; I hadn't expected A Yao to seem so different after just a few days. Her makeup was chillingly cold, and I could sense a kind of deathly aura emanating from her.
At that moment, Yin Official and A Yao noticed us, and the atmosphere shifted dramatically.
I felt an invisible wave in the air, as if someone was secretly using dark power.
"Wang Niu, be careful; they are using dark arts," Xiaomei's warning reached my ears.
I immediately became alert, using the power within me to resist the dark techniques secretly unleashed by Yin Official and A Yao. To my surprise, the energy I emitted reacted violently with their dark arts, sending A Yao crashing into the wall behind her. My heart skipped a beat as I wanted to rush over to help A Yao up, but Xiaomei held me back, whispering a warning, "Don't forget, she is no longer A Yao; she is our enemy. Think about what Princess did to you before. Do you still want to harm Princess?"
Xiaomei's words froze me in place, halting my actions. Indeed, Ruoxi was my wife; if it weren't for A Yao's insistence on causing trouble, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
I looked at A Yao with increasingly indifferent eyes. After being thrown against the wall by my power, she seemed gravely injured and spat out Black Blood.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, while Xiaomei glared at me with disappointment.
"What do you mean by this? Your leader treats us as honored guests. Why have you turned my wife into this? Is this your idea of cooperation?" Yin Official said darkly.
"We didn't mean anything by it. Weren't you the ones who attacked us first? We're not fools," Xiaomei interjected before I could respond.
Yin Official was enraged by Xiaomei's words and openly showed his anger, stepping forward to attack her. At that moment, Xiaomei was unaware of the murderous intent in Yin Official's eyes. My heart raced as I quickly pulled Xiaomei behind me and reached out to intercept Yin Official's approaching hand. In an instant, I felt a surge of power rushing into my body; fortunately, the energy within me enveloped it.
I took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Yin Official.
Yin Official's expression changed immediately; he let out a cold snort and walked over to A Yao, helping her up before they both left.
Before they departed, I caught a glimpse of A Yao's cold gaze directed at me, sending a shiver down my spine.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiaomei asked, noticing that I was staring intently in their direction with confusion in her eyes.
