Chapter 238: Hell Path

Looks like my trip here was correct; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see such a splendid showdown!

Above the clouds, the white-clad girl watched the battle below with great interest.

To be frank, the Heavenly Court has been eyeing the Sun Star Lord for more than a day or two.

After all, even the Heavenly Emperor would covet the legacy of the ancient Yao court.

However, the Sun Star Lord's foundation sits there, and he is terrifyingly low-key.

Even the Heavenly Emperor cannot openly act against this ancient goddess.

Just, why does the Sun Star Lord seem not to have recognized Di Jun's reincarnation? That's a bit strange!

Venus Star's gaze fell on Ao Yifan, his face showing a hint of thought.

At the Peach Banquet, Venus Star naturally recognized Ao Yifan's identity.

The other party transformed and became the husband of Immortal Maiden Yun Hua and Princess Longji, which also startled Venus Star.

Faintly, Venus Star caught a whiff of conspiracy.

However, Venus Star did not make it clear to the Heavenly Emperor.

There's no way; this involves too much, and a slight mistake could easily end badly.

So Venus Star could only conceal Ao Yifan's identity as Di Jun's reincarnation while secretly investigating his true purpose.

This woman is really hard to deal with!

Although Hou Tu Niangniang, who had deployed the Human Dao Dharma Aspect, held an absolute advantage.

However, Xihe possessed many treasures, making it hard for Hou Tu Niangniang to defeat her in a short time.

Moreover, Hou Tu Niangniang's goal was not merely to defeat the opponent.

After all, if she could not absolutely suppress Xihe, Hou Tu Niangniang had no doubt the opponent would never accept her terms.

So...

Her gaze shifted, and Hou Tu Niangniang's eyes fell on Ao Yifan.

The next moment, the Human Dao Dharma Aspect forcibly moved the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

In an instant, a hell passage appeared, leading straight to the Underworld's Yellow Spring Road.

Huh? Is it starting?

On the other side, in the Inn of the Afterlife, Meng Po, who was teaching the Rakshasa Woman, looked up at the huge passage above, hesitated only slightly, then flashed and entered the hell passage.

Meng Po, restricted by Underworld rules, could hardly leave the Yellow Spring Road.

Only Hou Tu Niangniang, who governs the Six Paths of Reincarnation, could open the hell passage by force and guide Meng Po away.

At the very moment Meng Po left, countless Yin Spirits of the Underworld, even including the Great Emperor Fengdu, all turned their gaze this way.

However, Hou Tu Niangniang acted too fast; by the time those Yin Spirits noticed Meng Po's departure, it was already too late to stop her.

Ping Xin, what exactly does she intend to do?

In Fengdu Ghost City, the Great Emperor Fengdu seated on the throne had a face as dark as water.

He and Hou Tu Niangniang jointly governed the Underworld.

However, Hou Tu Niangniang oversaw the Six Paths of Reincarnation, while he commanded the myriad Yin offices.

Each fulfilled their duties, and they had never encountered any problems.

Now, Hou Tu Niangniang secretly took away Meng Po, who governs the Afterlife, and the Great Emperor Fengdu would naturally suspect her.

Forget it; after Ping Xin returns home, I will summon the Five Direction Ghost Emperors and Ten Halls of Yama to have her give everyone an explanation!

The Great Emperor Fengdu thought so, but did not pursue.

After all, in the Great Emperor Fengdu's view, this Underworld is Hou Tu Niangniang's place of cultivation; how could she run away?

Has it started?

At the same time, the Rakshasa Woman and San Qi, who remained in the Inn of the Afterlife, watched the hell passage slowly close.

They both knew what Meng Po's departure signified.

Little girl, you're about to have a younger brother or sister—are you happy?

The Rakshasa Woman suddenly stroked San Qi's head and said,

Hearing that, San Qi's little face twisted in turmoil, not knowing whether to be happy or not.

The little girl, born missing a wisp of essence, appeared somewhat simple-minded, and her looks were not as beautiful as Meng Po's; on the contrary, she was rather ugly.

However, according to Meng Po, if she could leave the Yellow Spring Road, she could retrieve the missing wisp of San Qi's essence, making San Qi a true Meng Po!

As for this, San Qi still felt eager inside.

Only by retrieving that wisp of essence could she become whole.

……

Hell Path?

Looking at the hell passage opening in the sky, Xihe let out a cold laugh.

Hou Tu, do you think that with this imperfect hell path you can defeat me?

Speaking, Xihe's robe stirred without wind, accompanied by two phoenix cries; on the robe, fire and ice powers transformed into a fire phoenix and an ice phoenix, which charged toward the opened hell passage.

Boom——

The power of ice and fire exploded, blocking everyone's view.

Huo Ling'er foolishly gazed at the Qing Feng embracing her, but for a moment could not find where her father had gone.

……

Within the Hell Path Formation Diagram, Ao Yifan beheld the stunningly beautiful Meng Po, preparing to exchange a few words to ease the atmosphere.

All right, let's begin; I don't have much time!

However, before Ao Yifan could speak, Meng Po coiled toward him like a water snake.

"This..."

In an instant, Ao Yifan went numb all over.

"Alas..."

He sighed; he had originally planned to properly cultivate their feelings, but he never expected that it would ultimately be just a transaction.

However, Ao Yifan also knew that Hou Tu Niangniang did this to perfect the Hell Path within the Six Paths Reincarnation and defeat Xi He in one fell swoop.

Thinking of Xi He, Ao Yifan felt that, according to the agreement, he should properly help Hou Tu Niangniang perfect the Hell Path.

"Eh, where did Fellow Daoist Ao go?"

The battle was fierce; Zhen Yuanzi's attention was drawn by Huo Ling'er's crying and fussing. Turning his head, he saw his two disciples consoling that little girl, while Ao Yifan had vanished without a trace.

Looking at the Hell Path formation diagram besieged by the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, Zhen Yuanzi's expression turned somewhat strange.

There's nothing to be done; this scene feels somewhat familiar!

"Hou Tu, you can't do anything to me; how about we call it a draw?"

Holding a sundial dharma treasure, Xi He stood upon the Six Dragons Sun Chariot, his face full of arrogance.

Even she had to admit that Hou Tu Niangniang's strength was indeed formidable; even if she unleashed her strongest treasure, she could only barely defend herself.

Meanwhile, Hou Tu Niangniang remained silent, merely controlling the Human Dao Dharma Aspect to restrict Xi He's movements.

However, Xi He, who held the sundial, could briefly alter the flow of time around himself with each adjustment of the sundial's stone needle.

Therefore, no matter how the Human Dao Dharma Aspect attacked, it could not catch the Xi He who held the sundial.

"The power of the Time Law is truly terrifying!"

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whether Fellow Daoist Hou Tu's scheme will succeed smoothly."
