At this moment, a black light streaked across the sky and landed in front of the main hall, transforming into a man in green robes.
The man was tall and handsome, with long black hair that fluttered in the wind. He exuded a chilling aura, like a king in the clouds, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
Upon seeing that person, the Rakshasa Demon King's expression instantly changed.
He hurried forward, knelt respectfully before him, and asked excitedly, "Master, is that you?"
The man was Fu Yunche.
He looked at the Rakshasa Demon King and nodded slightly: "Aro, it's me."
When the Rakshasa Demon King heard him call him Aro, his body trembled and tears streamed down his face: "When I saw you in front of the Pleasure Pavilion last time, I guessed that you had returned. After so many years, you have finally returned."
The Rakshasa Demon King covered his face and wept with emotion.
Seeing the tears falling from his eyes, Fu Yunche was filled with mixed emotions and sighed softly, "Yes, so many years have passed. You have been guarding Youdu City all this time. You have worked hard."
The Rakshasa Demon King wiped away his tears and said loyally and firmly, "Protecting Youdu City is my promise to my master. I am not tired."
Fu Yunche patted his shoulder, urging him to stand up. He didn't have much time to catch up with him. He looked towards the snow-capped mountains and asked with a deep gaze, "Did Jingyi escape?"
The Rakshasa Ghost King's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, crying and apologizing: "Master, it was my fault for not guarding him properly, and Jingyi escaped. I have already sent people to chase after him, and we will definitely be able to bring him back and seal him again. Once this matter is resolved, I am willing to accept any punishment."
Seeing him so remorseful, Fu Yunche calmly comforted him: "You don't need to blame yourself too much. This has nothing to do with you. It's the time limit of the formation. After so long, the power of the formation weakened, and he took the opportunity to escape. This is also predestined. The grudges of that year should be settled now."
The Rakshasa Demon King felt a pang of pain in his heart as he recalled the events of that year, and asked urgently, "Master, what do you intend to do? Just give the order, and I am willing to do anything for you."
Fu Yunche thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Jingyi will definitely make a big move after escaping from the formation this time. Go and inform the Underworld to send experts to defend against him at any time and ensure the peace of the Three Realms."
The Rakshasa Demon King nodded.
Fu Yunche then gave him some more instructions, which the Rakshasa Ghost King noted down one by one.
After giving his instructions, Fu Yunche looked towards the human world: "I suspect that Jingyi is no longer in Youdu City, or even in the human world. You should recall all the people you sent out to look for him."
The Rakshasa Demon King asked urgently, "If he's not in Youzhou City or the mortal realm, where could he be?"
A cold glint flashed in Fu Yunche's eyes: "He might go to find Chu Yu and take her to Penglai Immortal Island."
Upon hearing him mention Penglai Wonderland, the Rakshasa Demon King immediately became nervous: "They actually went to Penglai Island. Penglai Island is not under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, and my people cannot reach it. What should we do?"
Fu Yunche glanced at him and said sharply, "I will go to Penglai Immortal Island to find him. Just follow the plan I told you. If there is anything important, contact me as usual."
After saying that, he flashed and transformed into a black streak, flying away into the distance.
...
Penglai Fairy Island.
When Chu Yu regained consciousness, she opened her eyes and found herself in a magnificent heavenly palace.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, the palace shone brightly, much like the heavenly court in those movies and TV dramas.
Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in bewilderment, "Is this the Heavenly Palace?"
Jingyi walked up from behind and calmly replied, "This is the Heavenly Palace of Penglai Immortal Island. This is where we used to live. Does it look familiar to you?"
Chu Yu looked around, a sense of familiarity washing over her. She nodded, "It does feel very familiar."
Jingyi led her to a peach orchard and said, "You used to love playing the flute in this peach orchard."
Chu Yu looked towards the peach blossom grove. Just then, a cold wind carried a few pink peach petals with it. She subconsciously reached out, wanting to grab a petal, but the petal transformed into a pink spiritual energy that shot into her brow. Instantly, a voice rang in her mind: "Ning An!"
It was a woman's voice, gentle and full of love.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to see a woman standing behind her.
The woman was dressed in colorful fairy clothes, with a magnificent crown on her head. Her face was exquisite, and she exuded an unparalleled elegance.
She had a very strong presence, a gentle expression, and a warm smile on her lips.
Chu Yu subconsciously called out a name: "Houtu Niangniang!"
At that moment, memories of past lives, sealed away for tens of thousands of years, flooded into my mind.
In ancient times, there were four supreme gods in the underworld: Houtu Niangniang, Dongyue Dadi, Fengdu Dadi, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Houtu Niangniang used her divine power to create the Netherworld in the underworld.
In the Fiery Pool of the Netherworld, a special divine lotus grew. When the divine lotus had grown for eight thousand years, it bloomed into a pink lotus flower, which then transformed into a human form, becoming a woman of unparalleled beauty.
When Houtu Niangniang saw her transform into human form, she was overjoyed and immediately took her as her disciple, bestowing upon her the name Ning'an, meaning peace and stability in the underworld.
Ning An is Chu Yu's previous incarnation.
Ning An followed Hou Tu Niangniang to learn magic and some knowledge about the Six Realms. She made rapid progress and was extremely intelligent, soon becoming Hou Tu Niangniang's good helper.
Later, Houtu Niangniang created many spaces for the underworld, established some laws, repaired some barriers, and suppressed disturbing demons and monsters, which gradually exhausted her divine power, and she fell into a deep sleep in the temple.
Fortunately, the Eastern Peak Emperor and his entourage were still in the underworld, which prevented any trouble from happening.
After the goddess Houtu fell into a deep sleep, Anning guarded her in the Houtu Temple and oversaw the Netherworld.
She stayed in the temple for hundreds of years until one day, the dragons from Penglai Island on the shore of the East Sea came to the underworld to propose marriage. They wanted to form a marriage alliance with the underworld and jointly protect the peace of the three realms.
The dragons on Penglai Immortal Island rule the four seas and wield immense power.
The previous Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan perished in the great war against the Demon Realm. His eldest son, Jingyi, is the Crown Prince, but he is not yet of age and cannot succeed to the throne. He can only ascend the throne after he comes of age and holds a grand wedding. Before he ascends the throne, all affairs of the Dragon Clan are handled by the previous Dragon Emperor's first wife, the Dragon Empress Dowager.
The underworld also wanted to form a marriage alliance with the dragon clan to maintain peace in the outside world. They searched for a suitable marriage partner in the underworld and finally found that Ning An was the most suitable.
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak found Ning An and asked her if she was willing to go through a marriage alliance. Ning An, with a strong sense of righteousness, readily agreed.
So, as agreed, she was sent to Penglai Island to marry the crown prince after he came of age.
The dragon race imitated the Heavenly Court and built an incomparably magnificent Heavenly Palace on Penglai Immortal Island.
The Heavenly Palace is guarded by 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as countless goddesses and goddesses. Its strength is so great that even the Heavenly Court dares not provoke it easily.
