"Empress Pingxin has long since withdrawn from worldly affairs and remains in seclusion deep within Reincarnation year-round."
Ancestor Minghe spoke with difficulty.
"As for the Great Emperor... he is elusive and unpredictable. This poor Daoist has no way to contact him either."
He was blatantly lying, intending to first probe Dijiang's true intentions.
Who was Dijiang?
Though straightforward-minded, he was no fool.
One look at Ancestor Minghe's expression told him that the fellow was trying to deflect him.
"Is that so?"
Dijiang's gaze instantly turned cold.
"Since you cannot contact him, I'll find him myself!"
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from him, making the entire Bridge of Helplessness shake violently.
He was going to force his way in!
Ancestor Minghe's expression changed at once.
"Ancestor Witch, please calm your anger! Calm your anger!"
He hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Dijiang's path.
"Let us talk this over! This is the Underworld, not your Wu Clan's Pangu Hall. If we start fighting and disturb Reincarnation, neither of us can bear the consequences!"
What a joke. If Dijiang truly caused trouble in the Underworld, would Niu Ben not skin him alive when he returned?
"Then are you leading the way or not?"
Dijiang did not buy any of it. He stepped closer, and his overbearing aura pressed down so hard that Ancestor Minghe could barely breathe.
Ancestor Minghe mentally cursed Dijiang's ancestors for eighteen generations.
These brutes truly would not listen to reason!
He knew he could not bluff his way through this today.
"Fine, fine, I'll lead the way. Is that enough?"
Ancestor Minghe raised both hands, his face full of helplessness.
"Please follow me, Ancestor Witch. I will report to the Great Emperor at once."
As he spoke, he secretly crushed a communication Jade Talisman.
