Are you back?
Xia Zhibai didn't quite understand what he meant and frowned: "Then they disappeared again?"
Niutou stared with wide eyes and nodded vigorously: "My lord has been in seclusion for a long time. The Seventh and Eighth Masters said they were going to the outside world to find help, but the underworld was in chaos at that time. The Eighth Master first stayed in the hall, and then received the call for help from the Seventh Master. He left and never came back."
"When did it happen?"
"Seventh Master left a hundred years ago, and Eighth Master left eighty years ago after receiving a distress message."
Niutou did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
Including the Horse-Faced Demon, who now runs around the Ten Palaces just to maintain order in the underworld.
Xia Zhibai's expression was very grim. Of the Ten Kings of Hell, only the King of Hell from the Fifth Hall was in seclusion. The heads of the other nine halls were missing, which made her very curious.
"Have your family's adults reported going to the upper realm?"
"My Lord, you don't have enough magical power to go up."
"Do you know what happened in that great battle back then?"
Xia Zhibai asked again, she felt that the war came too suddenly.
However, Niutou shook his head helplessly: "My level is not high enough, I don't know the inside story."
His words that he didn't know the inside story made Xia Zhibai feel uneasy.
"Has your Pluto never come back?"
In the end, she asked about this matter. Before, she always felt that she had forgotten something, and then that dream made her think of Pluto.
Three thousand years ago, when she was training in a secret realm, she dreamed of Hades. However, because Hades did not give her the Nether Grass at that time, she failed to overcome the tribulation and was unable to reincarnate.
But where did that Nether Grass go later?
But she couldn't remember it at all.
All I knew was that when I woke up again, I had been found by my master and sent back to the sect.
There was no Nether Grass beside her at that time.
Everyone thought that the Nether Grass had escaped while she was unconscious.
After that, she no longer paid attention to this matter.
As for how she remembered that the person in her dream was Hades, it was because when she entered the underworld this time, she saw the stone statue carved on the Hall of Five Yama. The tall figure happened to be wearing a bronze fang mask.
"No." Niu Tou sighed heavily again, his expression full of fatigue.
"Xia Xianren failed to overcome the tribulation at that time. So, are you now entering the cycle of reincarnation to cultivate the Dao?"
Niutou couldn't change his words for a while, and still used respectful titles when asking Xia Zhibai.
Xia Zhibai was too lazy to argue with him and sighed helplessly: "It's all because of that damn old man Tiandao, who launched a sneak attack."
After saying this, he stopped and looked around. She had already entered the hall.
This hall used to be majestic and restrained, but now it is in ruins. Even the statue of Yama in the Fifth Hall was destroyed, and was later restored by magic.
But only the statue of Yama was restored, nothing else was restored.
I guess King Yama was also seriously injured, otherwise why hasn't he come out after more than two thousand years?
"Can I go and see where your King of Hell is in seclusion?"
Xia Zhibai still wanted to meet King Yama. As for the rulers like King Qin Guang of the First Palace, she didn't have the energy to track them down now.
Niutou nodded, then took Xia Zhibai deeper into the hall.
The further in we went, the stronger the stench became.
She couldn't help but frown: "After the battle in the underworld, won't there be ghosts and soldiers coming to clean up the battlefield?"
Niu Tou was stunned, not understanding what Xia Zhibai meant.
He looked around and found that the hall was much better than other places. Why did Master Xia ask this?
"We have cleaned it up, but the Ten Palaces are so big that we can't manage it all. The ghost soldiers and generals were scattered, so we can only clean it up like this."
He was a little silly, and when he realized what Xia Zhibai meant, he felt a little embarrassed.
Xia Zhibai instantly understood why so many innocent ghosts were sent to the eighteen levels of hell to suffer in purgatory without anyone investigating. It seemed that the King of Hell had not returned to his position for too long, causing turmoil in the underworld.
The underworld cannot supervise the evil deeds committed by the people in the world.
As for the upper realm, probably because the spiritual power in the human world is weak, people also live their lives behind closed doors and ignore worldly affairs.
After all, this matter in the mortal world has only happened in the past hundred years. A hundred years in the human world is just one day for them.
It's just time to take a nap...
"Are the other masters of your palace still here?"
"Here I am."
Xia Zhibai was very surprised to hear this. Why were the ghost generals from the Fifth Palace still there, but those from the other nine Palaces were gone?
Suddenly, a very bad thought came to her mind, but she suppressed it.
She got close to the King of Hell in the first place because he was too kind, loving, tolerant, and fair in enforcing the law.
At the same time, we stand firm.
She took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, and her mind calmed down again.
The King of Hell's retreat is in a mechanical wall behind his bedroom.
Open the wall mechanism to reveal a passage that can accommodate two people walking side by side.
The red lanterns hanging on the wall add a touch of eerie atmosphere to the gray void.
After walking about a hundred steps, they saw the bull's head knocking on the smooth wall in front, and the wall slowly moved away, revealing a person sitting inside.
The man was tall and strong, with his eyes closed, but one could still see his severity and fairness.
But his face was too dark, as if he had been poisoned.
"You just brought me here like this?" Xia Zhibai was stunned for a moment when he saw the King of Hell in the Fifth Palace.
Trust her so much?
"This is what the master ordered before he went into seclusion. He said that if Xia Xianren comes, he can be brought directly."
Niutou still had a silly look on his face, but he said this with a look of awe.
