Hmm... Next time for sure.
Zhou Xin scolded him for five minutes, and only then did Yu Shitu have the chance to speak, looking like a well-behaved primary school student, sincerely apologizing and nodding his head.
"Not at all, Xiao Jizi, can't you be worried about His Highness' safety and well-being? Shouldn't you check His Highness' condition first?"
At this moment, Bai Lu, who was left behind by Zhou Xin, looked like he had been struck by a lightning bolt. He was expressionless and seemed to be in a state of confusion.
What is this little Xiuzi up to? Isn't she here to find him?
It sounds like an attempt to shift the blame, doesn't it?
"Cut!"
Zhou Xin turned around, giving White Lu a look of disbelief, as if he was an idiot.
"This car, I've been in."
"This ghost, I caught with my own hands!"
"Also, this guy has a ghost-like smell, and I don't need to worry about it at all!"
Long before arriving at the factory, Zhou Qi detected something amiss through the scent.
Although not sure why the ghost in front of him had transformed into a human.
But the scent on him was something that Zhou Qi's nose could not be deceived by.
Plus, when Zhou Qi came in, he didn't see any traces of a fight, so it's not hard to guess the position of the ghost.
"Miss Zhou is indeed brave and meticulous, and I must admit my admiration!"
Yu Shitu praised sincerely.
"Remember, if you come in the future as the family member of White Lu, then even if you kill him, it will have nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Zhou Qi didn't bother to deal with Bai Lu and Yu Shitu. After venting his anger, Zhou Qi focused his attention on the environment he was in.
Especially the door beside him, which was called the "Gate of Hell," had piqued Zhou Qi's ample interest.
The closer Zhou Qi got to the door, the more intense the emotions became on his arm.
It was as if the Heavenly Map were eagerly wanting to get closer to this door.
"Ghost Gate? Is this the Ghost Gate I've heard about? Can such things be moved around so freely?"
Zhou Qi didn't touch the Ghost Gate by himself but walked around it carefully twice, examining it closely.
In Zhou Qi's peaceful and ordinary life of two lifetimes, the Ghost Gate was something that only existed in mythological stories.
It's said to be the entrance to the underworld, and once inside, one can never return in this lifetime.
However, such a crucial thing is being casually placed out like this?
Is this right?
Perhaps Zhou Qi's words reminded Yu Shitu of his purpose, and he hurriedly bowed to Bai Lu and asked.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you go back now? You have already broken the seal, which is the perfect time to regroup. There are countless demons in the underworld, along with us four, who are dissatisfied with heaven's actions and are eagerly waiting for your leadership!"
Taking Bai Lu back to the underworld was exactly the purpose of Yu Shitu bringing Bai Lu out of the psychiatric hospital.
As the sixth prince of the underworld, it's not exactly a good-sounding thing to be hiding in a human refuge.
"No, there are still some things that I haven't figured out. For now, I will not return. And you should not tell others about breaking the seal of His Highness me, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Bai Lu waved his hand, but his gaze lingered on Zhou Qi for a moment.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shitu's expression turned embarrassed and hesitant.
"Hmm? What's the matter? Are you hiding something from me again?"
Bai Lu immediately furrowed his brow, feeling that his subordinate now seemed full of mystery, and he had a sense of being out of control.
"Hmm, don't blame me, Your Majesty. In reality..."
Yu Shitu hesitated for a moment, then adopted a defeated expression and poured out his words all at once.
"Actually, since the soul lamp of the third prince was extinguished, rumors have been spreading in the underworld that Your Highness has been unsealed. Heaven has also sent many people to investigate the underworld as a result."
"If it wasn't for the third prince's self-interest in not revealing Your Highness's location earlier, heaven might have already sent its armies here by now."
"Therefore, for Your Highness's safety, I really don't suggest you continue to linger in the mortal world. It would be best if you return to the underworld with me."
Yu Shitu genuinely cares about Bai Lu's safety.
The death of the third prince Bai Bing was too mysterious, arousing suspicion from both the underworld and heaven.
For this, there have been quite a lot of frictions between the two sides.
However, once the two sides' people talk calmly and find a solution, the truth will eventually be revealed, and Bai Lu will eventually be exposed.
"The old third, what a waste!"
Bai Lu's gaze on Zhou Qi was longer this time.
He should still know it.
He witnessed with his own eyes how Bai Bing was divided into dust by Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi, who was inspecting the Ghost Gate beside him, had her heart jump sharply when Yu Shitu mentioned Bai Bing's death.
A small creature like her actually caused the death of a prince of the underworld and no one knows? That's just too absurd!
Does she think she is the top male gun in Sakura Country?
"There's no point in talking more. My decision will not change easily. Besides, how can one clean the world without cleaning one's own house? There is still internal trouble to address before it's time to officially declare war on heaven."
Bai Lu's eyes exuded a captivating depth.
Seeing this, Yu Shitu didn't continue to dwell on it.
After all, he can move around in the mortal world with the identity of a ghost enforcer. Worst case scenario, he just needs to pay more attention to the sixth prince.
"Understood, Your Highness."
Yu Shitu bowed to Bai Lu, and then randomly tapped the air with his hands, causing the surrounding environment to change again.
"Eh, wait a minute!"
slap!
Seeing the Ghost Gate gradually becoming transparent, Zhou Qi, who was still deciding whether to touch it or not, instinctively reached out and slapped his palm on the Ghost Gate.
[Detected celestial item, Ghost Gate.]
[Special divine technique, Zhenz word seal unlocked successfully. Successfully copied the Ghost Gate of the underworld, rewarded with 360 days of additional life.]
[Remaining life, 545 days.]
It was at this moment that the ancient voice echoed in Zhou Qi's ears.
Nine Yin Underworld.
The true location of the Ghost Gate.
Unlike the virtual image of the small Ghost Gate summoned by Yu Shitu, the true Ghost Gate stretches between two mountains of Yin, with 18 ghosts kings and countless ghost soldiers guarding it on both sides, creating a formidable barrier that is unbreakable.
As the first checkpoint to enter the underworld, the Ghost Gate is shadowy and eerie. Countless souls float to this place, queuing orderly under the strict surveillance of ghost soldiers, and enter into it.
But it's still as noisy and bustling as usual, with a ghostly aura.
But suddenly, the entire Ghost Gate shuddered violently.
As a result, countless stones slid down from the sides of the Yin Mountains, instantly injuring a group of ghost soldiers and spirits.
"What happened!"
"Quickly report it! Say that the Ghost Gate is shaking greatly!"
"First, the son of the Yīn family and the Taishan Seal went missing, and now the age-old Ghost Gate is shaking. What's happening in the underworld?"
The 18 ghost kings all emit powerful auras and walk around the surroundings with caution, as if they were on guard against foreign invasion.
However, no matter how they searched, they couldn't find any abnormality.
Even the Ghost Gate itself, after one shudder, returned to its calm state as if nothing had ever happened.
