Chapter 209: Netherworld, Maiden!

In the Underworld, there is a place where sunlight never reaches, called the Netherworld!

Here, even the Underworld's spirits and officials do not wish to linger.

There's no way; here, besides death-like solitude, there is nothing.

But today, a flame descended from the sky, bringing a fleeting glimmer of light to this deathly still land.

"Huh?"

At the same time, the Fengdu Great Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, staring fixedly at that flame.

"How could the invitation to the Flat Peach Banquet appear in the Netherworld? Could it be that the people of the Heavenly Realm are preparing to let her out?"

The Fengdu Great Emperor's face showed a hint of contemplation.

But then he shook his head and said, "Probably not; her identity is special—if released, that person might very well be awakened again, and the Heavenly Realm summoning her likely has other motives."

Thinking this, I saw the Fengdu Great Emperor mutter two sentences under his breath, as if contacting some existence.

"I already know this time—I will accompany her to the Heavenly Realm!"

Soon, a reply came from that side.

Upon hearing this, the Fengdu Great Emperor's expression eased; in his view, since this person is willing to help, there is no problem.

It's not that the Fengdu Great Emperor truly fears that little girl in the Netherworld; after all, even if she awakens that person, he is not worried.

Really, the Underworld has been peaceful for only a few thousand years, and the Fengdu Great Emperor truly does not want to experience that incident again.

After all, the Underworld is packed to the brim, exhausting its officials.

……

"The Flat Peach Banquet invitation?"

Her bewildered eyes stared at the invitation in her hand, flashing with an eerie light.

"Get ready; I'll accompany you to the Heavenly Realm!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the girl's ear.

"Why?"

The girl didn't lift her head, merely speaking in a tone devoid of vitality: "You weren't planning to keep me locked here forever, were you? Now why are you preparing to let me out?"

"Sigh——"

He sighed and said, "If I could, I wouldn't want to keep you here either, but you should understand: your brother can never awaken again, and humanity can no longer withstand the previous catastrophe."

"Heh, you regard my brother as a flood and beast, yet your Witch and Demon clans have brought even greater disaster upon this world!"

The girl sneered.

Facing the girl's mockery, the visitor remained quite calm.

"Thus, the Witch and Demon clans have received their due punishment, losing everything they once had!"

Upon hearing this, the girl blinked slightly, then gazed deeply at the person before her.

After realizing the other's words were sincere, the girl self‑mockingly chuckled and said, "So, you immortals are always that heartless, and you, more than anyone I've met, are the most heartless woman; I can never be like you."

"Alright, let's go; the Flat Peach Banquet is about to begin."

The visitor said lightly.

"Take me with you; after all, I am merely a powerless human, lacking the mighty divine abilities you immortals possess."

The girl spread her hands and said.

Although it was clear the other was being unreasonable, the visitor did not argue further with the girl on this matter.

Only seeing the visitor's right hand point, in the next moment a strange wheel appeared behind them.

Looking at that wheel behind the visitor, a flicker of fervor flashed in the girl's eyes.

For this Netherworld, even though it lies within the Underworld, is also called the Place of Exile; without this wheel, even those with great divine abilities who fall in cannot escape.

"If I could obtain it, perhaps I could leave this damned place—"

Thinking this, the girl glanced at the cold woman beside her, yet felt a deep sense of helplessness.

There's no way; the other's strength is too great.

After all, among the Three Realms, aside from those lofty sages, this woman is nearly invincible.

"Hmph, wait and see, you woman—don't let me catch an opportunity, or else—hmph!"

The girl was led by the woman beside her, flying toward the lofty Heavenly Realm.

Gazing at the splendid scenery around her, the girl became entranced.

"Is this the heaven and earth my brother once longed for? Too bad he never got to see even a glimpse before his death."

……

"Bai Lian, frankly, can't you find someone else? I really don't want to go to that Flat Peach Banquet with you!"

The Six-winged Golden Cicada flapped its wings, looking dissatisfied at the White Lotus Child beside it.

By the way, it seems the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool hasn't sent an invitation to our Western Teaching; if we go like this, will we be driven out?

Looking at the revived Six-winged Golden Cicada, frankly, the White Lotus Child is also speechless.

He doesn't understand which step went wrong; the Six-winged Golden Cicada that revived after using the Golden Cicada Sloughing Divine Ability has become a chatterbox.

If possible, the White Lotus Child wouldn't want to bring this chatterbox to mooch off the Jade Pool Golden Mother's Flat Peach Banquet.

However, the two sages above have calculated that this Flat Peach Banquet of the Jade Pool Golden Mother will present a great opportunity.

Although the Western Teaching received no invitation, such good fortune often ties to them—how could they possibly be left out?

Moreover, the two sages especially emphasized that at this Flat Peach Banquet, the Six-winged Golden Cicada will encounter a great fortune; for this reason, the White Lotus Child can only endure the cicada's chatter and bring it along to the Jade Pool.

"Hey, Bai Lian, I'm talking to you."

"By the way, how did I die in my previous life? I can't remember—who killed me? Tell me."

"Why aren't you speaking? Could it be that you killed me?"

Hmph, I saw through you long ago, you guy, you've definitely been lusting after my body.

I definitely won't tell you—if you want to eat me, you have to steam me plain, otherwise you'll be poisoned!

Hey, why did you stop? Why are you staring at me like that? I'm scared!

Bai Lian, you guy, could it be that you're really lusting after my body?

……

Husband, I'm a bit nervous!

Long Ji leaned against Ao Yifan's side, saying somewhat nervously.

Mother, we're here, don't be afraid!

At that moment, Ao Ji, who was driving the carriage, turned his head and said.

Ao Ji has now grown into a young man; although his abilities don't match his older brother Ao Shen's, his overall strength is also quite outstanding among the Chan Sect's third-generation disciples.

This time, Ao Yifan brought Yun Hua and Long Ji, along with their children, to the Peach Banquet, and the children were quite excited.

After all, with such noble grandparents, the children are also quite curious.

However, unlike the other children, Ao Shen always had a solemn expression.

After all, among these children, only he has ever clashed with beings from the Heavenly Realm.

That time, if it weren't for the Illuminating World Lamp protecting him, and with Jin Zha and Mu Zha assisting from the side, dealing with those ten Golden Crows would have been quite difficult for him.

What's more, according to his father, those ten Golden Crows had only just been released by his maternal uncle, and he didn't even have a handy magic treasure on him—otherwise, who would win or lose was still uncertain.
