When the fourth day arrived, Ye Xuan and Patriarch Nether River also walked out of the Nether Blood Sea. Endless blood shadows surrounded Ye Xuan.
"Stand down," Patriarch Nether River berated, causing the blood shadows to disperse.
"Master!"
Shiva rushed over and bowed to Patriarch Nether River. When he saw Ye Xuan, his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Daoist Qing Ming has already buried the hatchet with me. There's no need for you to meet on the battlefield," Patriarch Nether River said.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a merciful Buddhist chant sounded out. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rode on Truth Listener and walked towards Ye Xuan and Ye Xuan. A Buddhist light rose behind him as he looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Uncle-Master Qing Ming is indeed powerful. Even Nether River has submitted to you. I'm impressed." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled, but his expression was strange.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, do you have a death wish?" Patriarch Nether River said coldly.
Unfortunately, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not look at Nether River. Although his cultivation was inferior to Nether River's, Nether River could not do anything to him. At that moment, the one who made him feel heavy was Ye Xuan in front of him.
He had never heard of the Western Sect having a Buddha Qing Ming. The two Western Sages thought so highly of this person. Today, Buddha Qing Ming seemed to have subdued Patriarch Nether River. It was simply a fantasy.
Furthermore, the Red Spider Lily was about to bloom. At such a critical moment, Ye Xuan's arrival would be a huge variable.
"Ksitigarbha, guard the eighteen levels of hell well. Do your job well. The rest has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
A threat! It was a blatant threat. When Ye Xuan made such a threat, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly. Then, he smiled and slowly retreated on Diting.
Seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva leave with a smile, Patriarch Nether River secretly sent a voice transmission to Ye Xuan. "You should kill him. He already suspects your identity."
"If I kill him now, my identity will be exposed."
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and took a step forward, disappearing into the Nether Blood Sea. The Nether River Patriarch followed closely behind Ye Xuan.
…
Fengdu City!
The Emperor of Feng Du was restless as he paced back and forth in the hall. There were still three days before the start of the Thousand Ghost Feast, but he still hadn't seen Ye Xuan return. This made him extremely frustrated.
Weng!
The void flickered, and ripples spread out. Two figures suddenly appeared in front of the Emperor of Feng Du. This caused his expression to change drastically. Gloomy light surged around him as he looked at the newcomers vigilantly.
"Daoist Qing Ming?"
The Emperor of Feng Du was pleasantly surprised when he saw the person's appearance. He wanted to take a step forward, but he saw the Nether River Patriarch smiling at him mockingly. This made him stop in his tracks, and his expression changed drastically.
"Nether … Nether River Patriarch … You … Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" The Nether River Patriarch smiled mockingly.
"Alright, Nether River is already one of us. With the two of us overseeing the Thousand Ghost Feast for you, you can rest assured. Even the Ghost Emperor of the North, Zhang Heng, has to act according to your whims," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Thank … Thank you for your help, Daoist." The Emperor of Feng Du forced a smile, but there was an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
"You have to remember that the two of us can help you regain control of the Netherworld, but in exchange, you have to do something for us," Ye Xuan said solemnly.
"I will keep your words in mind." The Emperor of Feng Du bowed and lowered his posture to an extremely low level.
…
Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion!
There was a small bridge over flowing water. Flowers bloomed, and dark green vegetation covered the ground. Ye Yaoyue fiddled with the flowers in her hands out of boredom. Her expression was slightly melancholic, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Is he really Big Brother?" Ye Yaoyue muttered to herself. Her eyes were extremely perplexed.
"Thud … Thud … Thud."
The sound of footsteps could be heard quietly, and Ye Yaoyue suddenly woke up. Her expression changed slightly as she looked toward the source of the sound.
"Who is it?"
"Your soul is solid, and your spiritual energy is abundant. It seems that Feng Du is treating you well. I can be relieved." Ye Xuan walked over with a smile on his face.
Ye Xuan's appearance made Ye Yaoyue's expression complicated. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed her words. She just stared at Ye Xuan, as if waiting for an answer.
"Buzz!"
When Ye Xuan sealed the world and made sure that no one could peek inside, his body became illusory. After three breaths, he returned to his original appearance.
"Big … Big Brother … It's really you." Ye Yaoyue covered her mouth as if she couldn't believe her eyes. A line of tears slowly flowed out.
"Girl, you have guts. You clearly know that the Celestial Court is filled with calamities, yet you still dared to sneak out. If you hadn't met me, you would have been consigned to eternal damnation," Ye Xuan said sternly.
"Big … Big Brother … Little Sister knows her mistake."
Ye Yaoyue's eyes were filled with tears as she weakly apologized to Ye Xuan. However, the joy in her eyes couldn't be concealed. She even hugged Ye Xuan's waist tightly and cried tears of joy.
"Ai!"
Ye Xuan helplessly sighed. He pushed Ye Yaoyue away and said, "Tell Big Brother, how is the Celestial Court now?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ye Yaoyue hurriedly wiped away the tears in her eyes. Then, she slowly described the current situation of the Celestial Court.
In the past, the two Celestial Courts fought. Both sides suffered great losses. The Two Sages of the West took Ye Xuan away. The Thirty-Three-Layered Celestial Court lost its pillar of support. Under the leadership of the Empyrean Fairy and the three Quasi-Sages, they also went into hiding.
After all, Nüwa and Yuanshi wanted to kill Ye Xuan. The Thirty-Three-Layered Celestial Court naturally bore the brunt of the attack. Fortunately, with the protection of the Tongtian, the Thirty-Three-Layered Celestial Court managed to survive. At this moment, they were hiding in the ruins of Mount Buzhou to recuperate.
Kong Xuan, Taishang Laojun, and Kun Peng were all in seclusion to heal their injuries. The Empyrean Fairy reformed the Celestial Court and also led the Celestial Court members in seclusion to cultivate.
"Mount Buzhou?"
Hearing Ye Yaoyue's description, Ye Xuan was startled. Mount Buzhou had long ceased to exist. In the past, the two Grand Shamans knocked down Mount Buzhou in a battle and caused the vault of heaven to collapse. That was how the legend of Nüwa patching up the sky came about.
"Yes, it's Mount Buzhou. Sister Empyrean Fairy led us to it. Moreover, we hid in the collapsed Mount Buzhou. Otherwise, the Celestial Court would have been reduced to stray dogs."
Ye Yaoyue paused for a moment as if she wanted to say something. However, she looked at Ye Xuan and finally swallowed her words.
However, Ye Xuan was very experienced. How could he not see that Ye Yaoyue was hiding something?
"Yaoyue, what happened?" Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Wah!"
Ye Yaoyue suddenly burst into tears. She could no longer control her emotions and said, "But when we settled down in Mount Buzhou, Nüwa's Stately Painting suddenly appeared and sealed off the Celestial Court. The Stately Painting refined the thirty-three Celestial Court day and night, wanting to turn the Celestial Court into ashes in one fell swoop. Sister Empyrean Fairy led the Demon Kings and Immortals to operate the Great Formation of Absolute Chaos and forcefully created a gap. Only then was I able to escape from the Celestial Court. She hoped that I could find the Tongtian to rescue me, but I …!"
Ye Yaoyue could not continue. Clearly, the subsequent events were very clear. As soon as Ye Yaoyue appeared in the Three Realms, her physical body was destroyed by Daluo Jinxian of the Chanism. Her soul even came to the Underworld. That was how she met Ye Xuan.
