White Impermanence knew very well that when Granny Meng treated Ye Xuan with respect, the situation of the entire Underworld would change greatly. Ye Xuan would definitely become a popular person, which would greatly change the situation of the Underworld. It was not wise to offend Ye Xuan for a mere soul.
"Why … why did you save me?"
After being suddenly rescued, Ye Yao Yue was completely muddle-headed. She stared blankly at Ye Xuan, who was in front of her, with confusion in her eyes.
"Girl, you're so unreasonable. This is Buddha Qing Ming of Mystical Mountain. Although you're the sworn sister of Ye Xuan, Buddha is merciful and naturally wouldn't bear to see you suffer a calamity. Hurry up and thank him." White Impermanence put on a serious face and pretended to be dignified.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving me." Ye Yaoyue finally calmed down and bowed towards Ye Xuan. However, there was caution in her eyes because she always had a trace of hostility towards Buddhism. She didn't believe that this person in front of her would save her for no reason.
Ye Xuan understood his sworn sister very well and could guess what she was thinking. However, he couldn't reveal his identity at this moment to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
"Lord Impermanence, this … this girl is personally supervised by the Chan School. Moreover, Ghost Emperor Shen Tu asked us to personally send her to the Eastern Ghost Temple. If we let her go just like that, how are we going to explain it to Ghost Emperor Shen Tu?" Ox-head and Horse-face whispered with a bitter expression. .
"Hmm?"
White Impermanence rolled his eyes when he heard Ox-head and Horse-face's words. He didn't expect Ox-head and Horse-face to be so tactless. Although Ghost Emperor Shen Tu was the Eastern Ghost Emperor, he was only a peak Grand Heavenly Immortal. How could he be compared to Buddha Qing Ming of Mystical Mountain?
"Hmph, you two can report back to Ghost Emperor Shen Tu. If he wants someone, he can ask the Emperor of Feng Du." White Impermanence snorted coldly.
As the saying goes, it's good to lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade. White Impermanence was originally one of the Emperor of Feng Du's people. If it was in the past, he would never dare to offend Shen Tu. However, after seeing how terrifying Ye Xuan was, White Impermanence already understood that it wouldn't be long before the various great figures of the Underworld would extend an olive branch to Ye Xuan. His actions today would definitely obtain the support of the Emperor of Feng Du.
Looking at White Impermanence's unbridled expression, Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other, flattering each other speechless. Then, they left directly, obviously to report to the Eastern Ghost Emperor, Shen Tu.
"Follow me for the time being. When I leave the Underworld, I will help you return to the living world." Ye Xuan put his palms together and comforted Ye Yaoyue.
"Ye Yaoyue, since Buddha favors you, you must cherish this opportunity. You can rest assured that no one in the Underworld will dare to hurt you." White Impermanence smiled and patted his chest to assure her.
What happened next was very simple. The three of them exchanged a few words. Ye Yaoyue could only follow Ye Xuan for the time being, while White Impermanence continued to lead the way for Ye Xuan.
The Underworld's Gate!
There were ancient mottled walls on all sides, and a huge gate that looked like the mouth of a Taotie. Majestic dead souls were entering. Under the guidance of White Impermanence, Ye Xuan brought Ye Yaoyue into the Underworld's Gate.
There was no such thing as day and night in the Underworld. Since the beginning of time, the sky of the Underworld had always been dark and turbid. The Underworld was one of the three realms. Its territory was vast and boundless, and it was divided into five ghost regions.
The place where Ye Xuan was now was the central ghost region, which was also the most famous Underworld's Gate of Hell. After passing through the Underworld's Gate, one would enter Fengdu City.
Fengdu City was under the control of the Emperor of Feng Du. He was also the highest ruler of the Underworld in name.
Fengdu City was just a general name. The city occupied a vast area, and it was a kingdom of dead souls. There were ten Yama-Kings, and each Yama-King had ten Yama-Lords. Under each Yama-King, there were ten Yama-Lords. Under each Yama-Lord were ten Yama-Lords. Under each Yama-Lord were ten Yama-Lords, and under each Yama-Lord were ten Yama-Courts.
Apart from Fengdu City, there was a Ghost Emperor in each of the North, South, East, and West. All of them revered Fengdu City, and they suppressed the four Underworlds and helped the Underworld to operate normally.
To put it bluntly, the Underworld was an organization that allowed the dead souls to reincarnate, and the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions were the people who assisted in this mission. However, the Underworld's power was tangled and complicated, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Furthermore, the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions weren't the true rulers of the Underworld.
The so-called Netherworld Underworld didn't have many cities, only the Ghost Cities of the Five Directions. Although there were only five cities, their vast territory was boundless. Although the Underworld wasn't as vast and boundless as the Earth Immortal Realm, the ghosts and gods in it weren't inferior to any immortals. Furthermore, there were too many terrifying characters in the Underworld, and their strength was unimaginable!
Fengdu City's South Gate!
The black Tongtian city gate pierced through the ground, and the tall city walls seemed to connect heaven and earth, making it impossible for people to see the end of it with a single glance. That sinister, demon-like picture illuminated the entire city gate with a dense ghostly aura. From time to time, there would be a large number of Yin soldiers passing through, escorting large numbers of ghosts and dead souls into Fengdu City!
However, the southern city gate of Fengdu City today was different. Countless Yin soldiers and ghost generals were kneeling on both sides, and the ghosts that were being escorted were crawling on the ground, shivering!
The Underworld Chariot stopped in front of the city gate, and there were even two great ghost generals, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, standing on both sides of the chariot. Among them, there was an endless stream of judges, and there were even two Kings of Hell following beside him. They were wearing the official robes of the Underworld, and every one of them had a solemn and respectful expression. However, from time to time, fear would flash across the bottom of their eyes!
The bead curtain of the Underworld Chariot was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a pale complexion that didn't lose his dignity slowly walked down from the chariot. This person had thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars. He was wearing a black robe with a dragon on it, a golden belt around his waist, and a pair of Ghost Cloud Boots on his feet. Although there wasn't any aura of power around him, it made people feel extreme reverence when they looked at him!
That's right!
He was one of the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions, the Emperor of Feng Du. He was also the nominal ruler of the Underworld. In the entire Netherworld, no matter if it was ghost immortals or ghosts, they would all feel extreme reverence when they heard of this person's name!
Although the Emperor of Feng Du was only the nominal ruler of the Underworld, one shouldn't forget that he was a Sage-to-be. His cultivation was definitely not weak in the Three Realms. Today, he actually came to the southern city gate of Fengdu City, and the people accompanying him were all great Kings of Hell and Judges. This also made the countless Yin soldiers and ghost generals extremely shocked. They didn't know who the Emperor of Feng Du was welcoming in person!
With his hands behind his back and his eyes deep in thought, the Emperor of Feng Du's face was as cold as ice, which also showed the supreme dignity of the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld!
Suddenly!
The mournful cries of ghosts came from the official road leading to Fengdu City, and it also attracted the attention of many Yin soldiers and ghost generals in front of the city gate. Their gazes were all focused on the official road!
A large number of ghosts were being escorted by the Yin soldiers and ghost generals. White Impermanence's white robe was very eye-catching, but it made many ghost immortals and ghosts feel uncertain. Although White Impermanence was the favorite person by the Emperor of Feng Du's side, the Emperor of Feng Du wouldn't personally welcome him. Obviously, it couldn't be this person!
