"I guess it's because there are immortals only on floor zero. The advance team you brought to deal with the tribulation is all there. Almost everyone in my office has run back to Taiqing Immortal City. The advance team probably doesn't dare to leave without your orders."
"Without the protection of immortals, these Yama kings wouldn't dare stay upstairs. They've gone to take refuge on floor zero," Cao Xian explained.
"Is this... really necessary? There's absolutely no corpse energy here. Even if the corpse energy had completely taken over the 18th floor, it would still take a very long time for it to completely occupy the 17th floor. Why can't they just stay on the 17th floor?" The fairy was utterly puzzled.
"Without an immortal by my side, I'm always uneasy, afraid that something might happen. But I never realized these Yama Kings were so cowardly before." Cao Xian shook his head.
"He told us to go directly to the entrance of the passageway in Zone 12 of Floor 0. The Kings of Hell are waiting for us near the entrance. We need to go to the human world first."
"That's great! Let's see what the situation is like in the human realm right now." Wang Yao perked up immediately when he heard that they were going back to the human realm.
"We can't stray too far from the passage, how can we figure anything out?" Fairy muttered, taking out a soul lamp from her pocket. Cao Xian and Liu Xikai also took soul lamps in their hands.
"Huh? You don't have a soul lantern?" Liu Xikai looked at Wang Yao in surprise.
“He’s talented, he doesn’t need this,” the fairy said from the side. Wang Yao grinned and smiled at Liu Xikai.
"Wow, what a treasure! Not only can you deal with spirits, but you also can't get lost in the underworld. I've discovered that you're naturally suited for the underworld. Why don't you come work for our office?" Liu Xikai said with a smile.
“Xiao Wang is concerned about the situation in the human realm. Why don’t we take a detour in the human realm? I think there’s another passageway in Huadu in the human realm, right? We won’t go to the one in Dream City. Once we get to the human realm, we can teleport directly to Huadu and show Xiao Wang what the situation is like there.”
Cao Xian said to the fairy maiden.
“I was afraid you’d be anxious. As long as you’re willing, I won’t have any objections,” the fairy said.
“Then it’s settled. We’ll go to the porcelain capital first, then the flower capital,” Cao Xian nodded.
"Isn't Huadu the entrance to the Eastern Eighth District of the Underworld?" Wang Yao asked.
"You mean the Civilization Building?" Cao Xian explained. "The Civilization Building is a major passageway to the Six Realms that is used quite frequently, since it connects the main transportation routes and core areas of the Six Realms."
“For example, the East Eighth District is the central area of the Zero Floor. It’s convenient to go anywhere on the Zero Floor from there. The East Twelfth District is more remote, and the passageway is not in a good location. So, we immortals usually don’t go there. Instead, we go from Yuqing Immortal City to Dream City in the human world.”
"The entrance to one of the East Twelfth Districts there is quite good."
"These devils are really scoundrels. They slipped away so easily, but we have to run ourselves ragged," the fairy maiden said with dissatisfaction.
"Don't get upset, don't get upset. Their underworld communication device will soon be handed over to the Heavenly Court. We're playing a big game here. What's a little detour?" Cao Xian hurriedly comforted the fairy maiden.
After the four immortals finished their discussion, Cao Xian and the others put away the soul lanterns and returned to Zhenxie Immortal City by the same route. From Zhenxie Immortal City, they took the elevator directly into the human world. After exiting the elevator, Wang Yao returned to the second floor of the karaoke room where he had been with Gu Qi and Wu Ying.
"Xiao Wang, be careful. The outside world is the Porcelain Capital of the Human Realm, a very dangerous place. Although we can teleport when we go out, we will inevitably run into the mortals of the Porcelain Capital. These people from the Porcelain Capital are notorious for extorting money from mortals. Don't be careless and get scammed by them."
Cao Xian left the restroom, reminding Wang Yao as she walked.
"They're from the human realm office, do they need you to teach them?" The fairy muttered under her breath, annoyed by Cao Xian's nagging.
To be honest, Wang Yao really didn't know that the "porcelain" in "Porcelain Capital" was the same "porcelain" used in the context of staged accidents. He had thought Porcelain Capital was a place famous for making porcelain.
Of his four Heavenly Cripple missions, there's still one Lonely One mission in the Porcelain Capital. If I ever come here to do that mission, I'll have to be careful.
The four of them went down the stairs and pushed open the door to the first floor, but they didn't hear the singing they expected. When Wang Yao went out, he saw that the luxuriously decorated corridor outside was dark and gloomy, as if it had been closed for business.
They walked down the corridor to the lobby, and sure enough, they didn't see a single waiter along the way. It was dark and quiet everywhere, and there was no one on duty at the front desk.
"This...the karaoke bar is closed?" Wang Yao wondered. He thought to himself, even if it's closed, shouldn't there be one or two lights on and someone on duty? This looks like it's shut down. The last time he passed by, the business seemed to be booming.
An aluminum roller shutter door was also lowered outside the glass doors of the hall. Liu Xi ran forward to take a look, then turned back to Cao Xian and said, "The roller shutter door is locked from the outside."
Cao Xian nodded and stepped forward. In the darkness, a green light emanated from his fingertip. Then, Cao Xian flicked his finger, and the green light disappeared into the roller shutter. Immediately afterward, the roller shutter began to twist silently in front of Wang Yao.
Before long, a gap large enough for one person to pass through appeared in the middle of the roller shutter door, and Cao Xian led the way, followed by Wang Yao and other immortals who went out.
Wang Yao discovered that the streets outside were also dark, but the streets were brightly lit, yet there was not a single person in sight, which was quite similar to the back garden of the Dark Night Ghost King.
After the three immortals had all exited the roller shutter, Cao Xian bent his finger and beckoned to the shutter. The aluminum alloy roller shutter twisted and closed again, as if nothing had happened.
