"Looks like you've been set up. This was definitely premeditated. Brother Tian, you should go down to the underworld first. The three of us can handle this." Han Shanshan and the other two women all looked at me, panic flashing across their faces.
"Alright. You three be careful. I'll come back up and deal with the problem later." Invisibility wasn't an option—the room was too small, and it would be hard to hide with so many people around. I didn't want to confront the police head-on and escalate the conflict. It would be better to go down to the underworld first and figure things out from there.
"Brother Tian! We've all comprehended the Dao!" Miao Xiaoli rolled her eyes at me.
I was always worrying about them, but they should be fine for the time being. I went into the room and put my fully charged phone back into my shoulder bag. Then I woke up Xi Jun and Wang Yan, used the Yin-Yang Token to borrow a path into the underworld, and the moment I went down, plop—I fell into the water!
Fortunately, I'd developed the habit of putting everything into a waterproof shoulder bag. Only a few ordinary paper talismans had gotten wet.
I touched the jade tablet and summoned the Dragon Shark. After such a long period of breaking it in, it no longer struggled as much. I occasionally gave it a few blocks of yin energy, and the sensible creature had stopped objecting to being my mount.
I had it carry me steadily to the surface. Then I changed into my water-repelling suit and ordered it to swim westward. If I wasn't mistaken, this should be the underworld's North Sea. The seawater was unbelievably cold, but there was no one around, so changing clothes wasn't exactly
