"I don't know where he is, how can I take him?" the fairy asked in astonishment.
“I was so angry that I forgot your advance team consists of celestial healers. Hui Shuo is currently at the border of West Fifth and West Sixth Districts. If you go back along the main road, you should be able to run into him. Anyway, the Cloud Ascending Beast will call out when you get close, so you won’t have to worry about not finding him,” Wang Yao said.
He couldn't bring up the system diagram in his mind for the fairy maiden; he could only explain a general path to her.
"What a nuisance!" the fairy muttered. Thinking that there was no point in staying here, she decided to go out for a walk and come back later. In a flash, she disappeared.
"Damn, this lady is really impatient, leaving as soon as she says she'll go. If that foreign god comes to kill us, we won't even be able to run away!" King Qin Guang said in astonishment.
"Pah! You jinx!" Emperor Song immediately scolded from the side.
"Eldest brother, fourth brother, I have a feeling something's not right about this," Yama, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly spoke up.
"What is it?" King Qin Guang and King Song Di both looked at King Yama.
“Think about it,” Yama said, “the Soul-Eating Hounds aren’t blood-producing demonic beasts. Taking their blood is the same as killing them. These things aren’t so easy to buy in the demon realm.”
"Didn't Eunuch Wei say that they've been preparing for a long time? Preparing a bit of melodrama over such a long period shouldn't be a problem, right?" King Qin Guang asked.
"It's not that simple. The Soul-Devouring Hound clan is extremely united and would never fight amongst themselves. It could only be the work of other demon clans. Which other demon clan... has the strength to hunt Soul-Devouring Hounds and use their blood to make a deal with the Foreign God?" King Yama frowned.
"Oh dear, those monsters of the demon race dare to attack the Heavenly Court, what else wouldn't they do?" King Qin Guang shook his head and said.
"It's easy to find out about this. Just notify the Samsara Path to investigate which Soul-Eating Hounds and Ghosts have been around over the years, and then we can interrogate them, right?" Song Diwang suggested.
King Yama nodded, then shook his head, frowning as if there was something he couldn't understand.
"Huh? Second Brother hasn't come over either. Has the spirit given up the attack?" After a while, King Yama suddenly asked in surprise.
"Yes, how could that be?" King Song and King Qin Guang also sensed that something was wrong.
"That foreign god surnamed Luo has defeated us, why don't we hurry up and advance triumphantly, and take down this zeroth floor in one go?" Emperor Song guessed.
"Not necessarily..." King Yama shook his head slightly, then suddenly straightened up and stood up. "I'm cured now, how are you all?"
"Almost there, Seventh Brother. Your magical power is now purer than ours!" King Qin Guang looked at King Yama with a hint of surprise.
"It's just that I've been cultivating a little more diligently; it seems far from enough. Once the fairy returns, we'll go in and take another look. If nothing unexpected happens, that foreign god surnamed Luo will probably run away," Yama said calmly.
"How is that possible?" Wang Yao, King Qin Guang, and Emperor Song all stared wide-eyed.
"I just realized that too. I'm afraid that Luo guy has already pulled back the spirits from the front lines after discovering us. After all, we wiped out most of the corpse puppets that were preparing to launch a new wave of attacks. Without the cooperation of the corpse puppets, the spirit attacks are unlikely to be effective," Yama explained.
"Moreover, we've been here for quite some time. The spirit needs to return to the Underworld Queen District, and this is the only way. We haven't heard from Second Brother, and we haven't encountered the spirit. There's only one explanation: the spirit has already passed through here and returned to the Underworld Queen District, and went directly to the construction area."
As Yama spoke, he nodded slightly, as if confirming his own speculation.
"Luo's idea is probably that if he can wipe us out in one fell swoop, he can then leisurely create corpse puppets to gradually devour my Underworld. But what if we get away like this? Would the Heavenly Court allow the Underworld to fall into the hands of the Ocean Realm?"
King Yama stopped and his eyes swept over the faces of Wang Yao and the other two.
"Yes! This great calamity of corpse energy is just seen as an internal strife in the Six Realms, or even our Underworld, by the Heavenly Court, especially by those immortals who can deal with the spirit body. Everyone is too busy laughing at us to even offer help. Those who want to help will only lend a hand after negotiating the terms." King Qin Guang's eyes widened.
“If this is something done by the foreign gods, then the nature of the matter is quite different. Which immortal would be willing to live under the control of the foreign gods? We beings of the six realms are already treated as monsters by the foreign gods. If we were to fall into their hands, what good would that do?” Emperor Song also said.
"Those immortals are not important. The most important thing is the Heavenly Court. Once it finds out that it was the Foreign God who launched the Corpse Qi Calamity, it will be a life-or-death battle for the Six Realms. If necessary, even the Heavenly Emperor will take action. With the help of the Mahayana cultivators, what are those spirit bodies and corpse puppets? They will be destroyed in an instant."
Yama, the King of Hell, nodded in agreement.
"So, this Corpse Qi Calamity is actually a hidden move, quietly taking over my Underworld and severing the cycle of reincarnation in the Six Realms. When that happens, my Heavenly Court will be at a natural disadvantage in the war with the Ocean Realm, as all the ghosts who died in the Underworld will be under the control of the Ocean God."
King Qin Guang was startled and alarmed.
"The more we fight, the fewer beings there are in the Six Realms. In the end, they will either be wiped out or forced to submit to the Western Realm. But all of this is on the condition that it must be kept secret. The Heavenly Court must not know that this was done by the Western God." Yama said, his eyes gleaming.
"If this is exposed, it will surely provoke a fierce backlash from the Heavenly Court! Seventh Brother, how long has the cycle of reincarnation on Floor Zero stopped?" King Qin Guang suddenly asked, his eyes wide.
"There are still seven or eight days left in a month," said Yama, the King of Hell.
"So, this... almost got the better of that foreign god?" King Qin Guang's eyes widened suddenly.
