Wu Hua quickly protected Qin Luo's heart meridian to prevent her from being injured by the aftershocks.
The runes on the Netherstone Chain seemed to come alive at that moment.
Transforming into ghostly blue shadows, they clashed and fought against the flame spirits leaping on the Anti-Demon Ruler.
In an instant, everything lost its color; trees began to wither and flowers gradually faded; even the lake water gradually dried up.
"Yin and Yang complement each other, movement and stillness are in harmony, all things have their own way. Although the divine artifact is powerful, it still needs to be controlled by the human heart. Please stop quickly and do not harm my innocent cubs in the beast realm."
As the words fell, the two divine artifacts that had been fiercely clashing slowly came to a halt.
The light gradually faded, the chill and flames subsided, and finally, all was calm.
Everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and saw a beastman displaying its divine form.
After breaking the barrier set up by the Heavenly Dao, the three officials of the Underworld and a group of ghost messengers slowly descended.
This scene astonished not only Qin Luo and Wu Hua, but even the Heavenly Dao itself.
"Old Hou, what brings you here? Has the Beast Realm returned to its rightful place? And how did the Underworld find out about the Three Ministers and the Underworld?"
Upon hearing this, before the three officials could even speak, the ancient divine beast Hou, the ruler of the beast realm, stepped forward to explain.
"The moment the Beast Realm returned to its rightful place, I went to the top of the Cliff Sea to find you, hoping to ask you for help in finding those little beasts that had fallen into the human realm. But instead, I ran into the little fat remnant who was guarding the palace gate for you."
Upon hearing that it was Jiao Yan guarding the palace gate, he knew that the loudspeaker must have told him everything.
"Then how did you find me?"
The Lord of the Beast Realm's face was full of pride at the mention of this.
“Little Fatty took me to your secluded cultivation place. I could tell at a glance that in addition to being in deep meditation, part of your soul had left your body, so I followed your aura here.”
Heaven then suddenly realized...
"The reason those magical artifacts at the entrance to the small world fluctuated was because of you?"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Beast Realm wore an expression of immense pride.
"Indeed, the entrance was sealed too tightly. I struggled for ages before I managed to break it open halfway. Perhaps the noise was too loud, because it summoned the Three Departments."
After hearing this, Tiandao nearly ground his teeth to powder.
"And then you all opened the entrance together?"
"Of course, there were too many magical artifacts, and it took a lot of effort. But don't worry, we sealed the entrance again after we came in to prevent the people of this world from escaping."
After he finished speaking, the judge nodded in agreement.
"We don't know who this person is, but they have such ability to silently embed the small world into the human world and occupy the reincarnation of the underworld, and we didn't even notice."
The supervisors quickly echoed this.
"Yes, the entrance is not only concealed by auspicious energy, but also sealed off so tightly. If it weren't for the help of the Lord of the Beast Realm, we would probably have to ask the Ten Kings of Hell for help."
Meng Po stood quietly behind them, saying nothing while her eyes darted around as if searching for something.
After hearing what the two ghosts and gods said, Heaven couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, who is this person? This one is quite important. I didn't want to cause trouble for the Underworld, so I planned to inform them after I finished dealing with this."
As he spoke, he looked at Sanji with a mocking expression.
"Now that you're all here, I have no need to hide it anymore. The deity who embedded the small world into the human realm is none other than your Underworld."
The three officials were utterly shocked upon hearing this—or rather, the two officials.
"What? Impossible! Who? Who in the underworld has such power?"
The judge and the inspector were both astonished upon hearing this, but Meng Po remained completely unfazed.
Ignoring the lawsuit, Qin Luo used the pause in the fighting to transform Teng Teng into a whip, wrapping it around Ming Zhao.
Wu Hua, Shu, and the white wolf, upon seeing the Lord of the Beast Realm, wished they could pounce on him.
But because there were other ghosts and spirits present, he managed to restrain his thoughts.
Qin Luo listened to their discussion about Ming Yi and Ming Zhao, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
She was now worried not only about Ming Zhao, but also about Ming Yi, and even hoped that he wouldn't show up at this time.
Because she knew that given Ming Yi's crimes, it was probably more than just his soul being scattered; if he were taken away on the spot, Ming Zhao would definitely go mad.
But what we fear most often comes first.
Ming Yi first sensed that the entrance to the small world had been opened, and then, at the moment the Nether Stone Chain and the Anti-Demon Ruler collided, he sensed the location of the group.
A sense of foreboding washed over him. Although he didn't know who had entered, anyone who could open the entrance was certainly no ordinary person.
Fearing that Ming Zhao was no match for those people, he exerted all his strength to rush towards the Cloud Mist Forest.
Upon arriving at the location, they found the Lord of the Beast Realm, the Three Ministers, and the Heavenly Dao all present.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared, but even if I was terrified, I couldn't abandon my daughter.
So he rushed towards Ming Zhao and Qin Luo.
As soon as he arrived, the Heavenly Dao rushed in front of him and questioned him.
"Mingyi, you are supposed to be a ghost or god, yet you act so rudely. You have secretly done so many bad things in my mortal realm. Do you even respect me, the Heavenly Dao?"
Ming Yi knew he was in the wrong, but he refused to back down an inch in his words.
"A ghost does what he does and takes responsibility for it. If you have grievances, take them out on me. What's the big deal about hitting my daughter?"
The Heavenly Dao was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.
"Me, hit her? If you had arrived any later, my very soul would probably have been shattered by her."
Upon hearing this, Ming Yi carefully examined Qin Luo and Ming Zhao, and seeing that they were indeed unharmed, he continued to look at the Heavenly Dao with a mixture of righteous indignation and confidence.
“This is all my fault, it has nothing to do with the children. Although Zhao’er was born of resentment, it was not her wish. Please be merciful and let her go.”
