After listening to what the fairy said, Wang Yao knew that once Hui Shuo woke up, he probably wouldn't want to return to the human world alone if he didn't see him. However, he still had many things to do upstairs, and those things had nothing to do with Hui Shuo, so there was no need to keep him there.
At that moment, they had no choice but to threaten Gu Qidao.
"Don't worry, even without my permission, no ghost would dare to lay a finger on the Holy Monk. Besides, there are plenty of ghosts here willing to die for the Holy Monk, so he shouldn't be in any danger." Gu Qi nodded quickly.
After hearing Gu Qi's assurance, Wang Yao, along with Wu Ying, Xiangu, and Gu Qi, left the corridor.
Gu Qi led the group to the West Sixth District by shuttle. Then Gu Qi used his speed spell, while Fairy led Wang Yao and Wuying to a ritual exit in the West Sixth District.
The gate to the rites was tightly shut. Fairy Maiden, Wang Yao, and the other two arrived first and waited for a while. Gu Qi arrived shortly after. Gu Qi walked to the gate and kept swiping at it. Fairy Maiden leaned over to watch closely.
"So that's how it is? I was wondering..."
As she watched, the fairy muttered to herself. Wang Yao knew she was still preoccupied with the Huarong Road on the door of the Queen of the Underworld's room. He thought to himself that the way to walk the Huarong Road in the rites was probably different from the one on the door of the Queen of the Underworld's room. If you look here again, you probably won't be able to figure it out.
Gu Qi was clearly very familiar with the lock on the exit of the ceremonial passage. He swiped it a few times, and with a soft "click," the door to the ceremonial passage opened a crack. Gu Qi didn't rush out, but instead took a baseball cap out of his pocket and put it on.
He was about to reach for the door when he looked back at Wuying, whose chin was almost completely gone. After thinking for a moment, he rummaged in his pocket for a while and pulled out a red and white ribbon. He went over and tied it around Wuying's head.
Wang Yao saw that on the belt, right in the center of Wuying's head, were two bright red characters: "Struggle." Next to "Struggle" was a large exclamation mark, also bright red, as if it had been written in blood.
With this headband on, Wuying did indeed exude a bit of the fierce ghost's aura.
"The yang energy outside is intense, and some people with heavy yin energy can also sense our presence. We should cover ourselves a little to avoid suffering and to prevent outsiders from making a fuss," Gu Qi explained casually after tying Wu Ying's ribbon.
"Thank you, Judge." Wuying quickly expressed his gratitude, while Guqi pursed his lips but said nothing more.
As the door creaked open, Gu Qi pushed it open, and Wang Yao could faintly hear singing coming from outside. A male voice, singing in the style of folk singing, was performing with great emotion.
"...That's the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau..."
Upon reaching this point, the voice suddenly rose in pitch, like a towering peak piercing the clouds. However, the male voice seemed to have reached its limit, almost touching the clouds in the sky, when it suddenly broke, as if the entire mountain had collapsed, followed by a mudslide.
Wang Yao frowned, but saw that Gu Qi seemed not to hear the disaster in his ears. He waited until the fairy and Wu Ying had left before gently closing the door.
The group looked around and found themselves in a dark room, which was quite spacious. There was a large television on one side, and speakers, amplifiers and other equipment on both sides of the television.
Opposite the television, about two or three meters away, was a large coffee table. Three sides of the coffee table were surrounded by a soft sofa, with only the side facing the television open.
The door through which the group came out was on one side of the room, and opposite it was another door tightly closed in the darkness, from which singing could be heard from time to time.
"It seems we came down from upstairs and walked this way, didn't we?" The fairy looked around and asked softly.
“That’s right. The conditions in the East Eighth District of the Human Realm are the best, but the only way to get to the Immortal Realm from there is through the South Heavenly Gate. From the South Heavenly Gate, to get to the Eighteenth Floor, you have to go through the Taiqing Immortal City and use the Immortal Realm’s teleportation array. Our ghost bodies can’t use that.”
“From here to the Immortal Realm, you can go directly to the Evil-Suppressing Immortal City. From the Evil-Suppressing Immortal City, you can first go to the Tenth Floor of the Underworld. From the Tenth Floor, there is a Ritual Path connecting to the Taiqing Immortal City. From the Taiqing Immortal City, you can go to the Eighteenth Floor. Although it’s a bit roundabout, our ghost bodies can still handle it.”
"Besides, although there are some more convenient and faster routes on my zero floor than this, they are all filthy places, and I dare not go there and offend the fairy's precious body," Gu Qi explained in the darkness.
Before the fairy could say anything after hearing Gu Qi's words, Wang Yao's spirits lifted. Zhenxie Immortal City and the Tenth Floor were places he had been planning to visit. Now that he was passing by, he might as well check out the environment first.
"Is the Zhenxie Heavenly Prison located in Zhenxie Immortal City?" Wang Yao asked the fairy maiden.
“Yes, you… plan to…” Upon hearing Wang Yao’s question, the fairy immediately realized that Wang Yao might not want to visit Xi Fu right now. Although she had promised Wang Yao to help him arrange a prison visit, it was not very convenient with two ghosts in front of her.
Furthermore, Wang Yao's visit to the prison guard was a matter of great importance, and the fairy maiden would have to make some preparations beforehand; she couldn't just rush off like that.
"I was just asking. When to go is up to the fairy to decide," Wang Yao replied.
Although he couldn't see the fairy's expression in the darkness, this time wasn't ideal for him either. After all, his prison visit was just a pretext; his real purpose was to scout out the environment and prepare for rescuing Xi Fu. So, he naturally needed to make some preparations before his visit, much like the fairy's situation.
"Oh," the fairy replied, and then said nothing more. Gu Qi led everyone to the other door in the dark.
