“There’s a passage to the seventeenth floor of your underworld at Wuling Pass. Come down quickly, and I’ll lead you there,” a rough voice called from outside the cabin.
Wang Yao and the others stood up and crawled out of the cabin one after another. They felt a gust of cold wind hit their faces. It was night outside. They found that the awning boat was moored on a frozen river, and snowflakes kept hitting them.

If he hadn't been unable to get away, given his temperament, he would have asked the God Lord for permission to go to the underworld to face the calamity upon learning of it."
Seeing that Wang Yao had stopped and was staring blankly at the scenery below the mountain, the man in the straw raincoat did not urge him but laughed from the side.
