The Water Emperor of Nanjiang River did not speak in the clouds. He looked calm and composed, as if he was communicating with some sacred being through secret means.
After a while, he said, "Don't worry. King Pingdeng informed me earlier that Cui Jue went to Fengdu in the Northern Yin and won't be back for a while. King Pingdeng will personally interrogate Nian Wuwang on behalf of the judge. It will be a formality. By then, the Netherworld will have made this matter an ironclad case. Then, they will pretend to go to hell and do penance. In the meantime, they will find an excuse to say that Nian Wuwang's soul was devoured by the evil spirits of hell and he escaped by faking his death. Then they will arrange for his reincarnation. It will be so perfect that no one can find any fault."

This illusion was extremely strange, but it also made him break out in a cold sweat. He wondered if it was not the guidance of God or the outburst of intuition.
"It's a coincidence that the Peach Festival just ended, and King Pingdeng has just returned to the Netherworld. If it had happened any earlier, with the Four Judges acting as the Netherworld's governor, I'm afraid this matter would have been much more difficult."
The Water Emperor of Nanjiang shook his head, not knowing whether he was feeling relieved or afraid.
"Your Majesty, I'm still a little worried. How about finding a reason to go down and see with my own eyes that my grandson and nephew have safely overcome this difficult time before we return to the human world?"
The God of Duyang Lake expressed his thoughts to the Water Emperor of Nanjiang.
This matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, it will involve a wide range of people and trigger an earth-shaking effect. If you leave your own fate to the King of Equality across the Yin and Yang worlds, you will not be able to sleep well at night. It is better to go to the underworld in person and witness the whole process.
If anything unexpected happens during the process, we can intervene and remedy the situation.
