Chapter 234: Xi He Descends

Lord Tai Bai actually has three forms; the first is the kind‑faced elderly figure you've heard of, and this form of Lord Tai Bai is the easiest to talk to—even if we make a mistake, he usually just gives a verbal reprimand.

The Captain of the Heavenly Soldiers explained to the Heavenly Soldier Zhang.

Lord Tai Bai's second form is known as True Person Du E—a stern middle‑aged man, rigid in his ways and strict in character; never make a mistake in his presence, or you will surely be punished.

After mentioning the first two, the Captain of the Heavenly Soldiers looked around to make sure everyone was one of us, then continued: "The final form is the female immortal we spoke of earlier, and this is Lord Tai Bai's true appearance. At this time, Lord Tai Bai's personality is unfathomable, so we must be careful—otherwise we might offend her without knowing how, and then we'll have trouble."

After hearing the captain's explanation, the Heavenly Soldier Zhang couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

"Captain, thank you for saving me today, I…"

Heavenly Soldier Zhang was about to thank his captain, but before he could speak, his tongue went numb and the words he meant to say turned into "aba aba".

"Sigh, it looks like Lord Tai Bai silenced you with a silencing spell, but it's fine—such a spell usually lasts only a month before wearing off, and it won't cause much suffering."

The Captain of the Heavenly Soldiers patted Heavenly Soldier Zhang's shoulder with some sympathy.

"I, I want to go home!"

Heavenly Soldier Zhang looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't; a child of several thousand years old, all he wanted now was to go home and have a good cry.

……

"You mean you've already found the people of the Asura Path and the Hell Path?"

Ao Yifan stared at Hou Tu Niangniang, shocked; he hadn't expected her efficiency to be this high.

"Not bad!"

Hou Tu Niangniang nodded and said, "Rest assured, the person I've chosen will surely satisfy you—at the very least, she'll be prettier than the two fellow cultivators beside you."

Upon hearing this, Qing Feng and Ming Yue glanced at Hou Tu Niangniang with displeasure.

Although she is an ancient goddess, saying to their faces that we should find a woman for their husband and claiming they are inferior to her—isn't that a bit too much?

Not far away, Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, couldn't help but tug at his own beard.

To be frank, it's not that he wanted to eavesdrop; the topic is just too explosive.

After all, the ancient goddess who governs the Six Paths of Reincarnation is personally introducing women to Ao Yifan—is there anything more exciting in the Three Realms?

"Moreover, based on what Hou Tu just said, she has found the women of the Asura Path and the Hell Path—could this be related to her great Dao?"

Zhen Yuanzi prick up his ears, wanting to hear what comes next.

At the same time, a tree branch silently reached out from a corner of the main hall.

"Fellow cultivator Hou Tu, I don't know—what are the identities of the two fellow cultivators you mentioned?"

Ao Yifan was also a bit curious.

Hou Tu Niangniang didn't hide anything, saying bluntly: "The Hell Path is Meng Po, who oversees the Path of Rebirth in the Underworld; as for the Asura Path, it is the Rakshasa woman, princess of the Asura clan."

"It's actually those two!"

In an instant, Ao Yifan also began to look forward to it.

After all, it's rumored that their beauty is truly top‑notch among the Three Realms.

Of course, Ao Yifan isn't some lecher; he simply has an eye for beauty.

Of course, the most important thing is still their identities.

Leaving Meng Po aside, her control of the Path of Rebirth plays a decisive role in the reincarnation of beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

As for the Rakshasa woman, Ao Yifan is no stranger—she'll later be the Iron Fan Princess, right?

It's said that the women of the Asura clan are extremely gorgeous, so this princess is surely no exception.

Most importantly, she is tied to the fortune of the future Journey to the West Calamity.

"Looks like I can't refuse this time!"

If it were anyone else, Ao Yifan might have refused.

But these two fellow cultivators are bound up with immense fortune, and Ao Yifan doesn't want to give up on them.

"In that case…"

Just as Ao Yifan decided to follow Hou Tu Niangniang for a while, suddenly several people present felt something and all looked up at the sky.

At the same time, the tree branch that had been eavesdropping quickly shrank back.

There was no way to avoid it—the newcomer's aura was overwhelmingly strong, so she naturally had to return at once to protect her newly born little sister.

As for all this, Zhen Yuanzi naturally saw it, cast a seal to protect the garden where the Ginseng Fruit Tree grew, then flashed his form and appeared outside the Five Zhuang Temple.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Ao Yifan smiled; he knew the people he'd been waiting for had finally arrived.

Qing Feng and Ming Yue naturally followed close behind, and after a brief hesitation, Hou Tu Niangniang also went along.

There was no choice—perfecting his Six Paths of Reincarnation Dao, Ao Yifan was of utmost importance, and she had to make sure he came to no harm.

"Huh?"

On another note, Xi He, who had originally descended mightily onto the territory of the Five Zhuang Temple, furrowed his brows upon sensing several strong auras.

"Are you sure you've only offended Great Immortal Zhen Yuan?"

Xi He glanced dissatisfiedly at Daoist Lu Ya beside him.

"This…"

Upon hearing that, Daoist Lu Ya shrank his neck and recalled that, back when he was beside Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, there was another person.

However, that person never made a move, and his presence was faint, so Daoist Lu Ya naturally overlooked him.

Now, thinking about it carefully, what ordinary person could wander the Chaotic Sea together with a great figure like Great Immortal Zhen Yuan?

"Mother, back when he was with Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, there was someone else."

Daoist Lu Ya said, "But the child didn't offend that person back then."

"Are you sure there are only two?"

As that person's aura drew nearer, Xi He's expression grew even graver.

After all, those three auras, each one is not the slightest bit weaker than myself.

And this is still Xi He having just recovered from her injuries; if it were before her injuries healed, facing any one of them, I wouldn't be able to retreat unscathed.

Now, the opposing side has three great divine-ability experts; if they forcibly act against her, she would probably find it hard to withstand.

Of course, if it were merely fleeing, Xi He alone still has a certain chance, but the key is, she still has a fire spirit child in her arms.

Xi He is unwilling to let this little guy suffer any injury.

As for Lu Ya Dao Ren, regarding this foolish son, Xi He is already extremely disappointed.

After all, who would pit their own mother like this?

She just left seclusion, and she has already provoked such great trouble for herself, including Zhen Yuanzi among the three quasi-sages; this combat power is enough to stir up an ancient great war.

"Taiyang Xingjun, long time no see!"

Just then, Zhen Yuanzi's voice came over.

At the same time, Xi He also confirmed the newcomer's identity; upon seeing Hou Tu Niangniang, her heart sank even further.
