Underworld.

Ever since Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation and eternally guarded its depths, she no longer concerned herself with the affairs of the Great Wilderness. She lived in seclusion in the Palace of Peace, leaving the vast Underworld to her disciple, Fengdu, for temporary management.

On this day, in the central hall of Fengdu City, deep within the Underworld.

Fengdu sat in the seat of honor.

Now acting as the manager of the Underworld, his status was naturally supreme. However, at this moment, his brow was tightly furrowed.

"How strange, how peculiar! After this Nüwa died, her soul has vanished?"

Fengdu took out the Book of Life and Death and examined it carefully.

It clearly recorded that Nüwa, while playing by the East Sea, drowned and did not return. Her soul reincarnated into the Jingwei Bird, which constantly carried branches and stones from the West Mountain to fill the East Sea.

Now, her soul was missing!

Not only that, but Nüwa's death had also become suspicious.

The current Nüwa should not have reached the end of her lifespan. Her death was due to a sudden rise in sea level while she was out playing, causing her to be swept into the East Sea. Afterward, her soul disappeared, clearly indicating she was murdered!

"Who on earth has such audacity to dare disrupt the cycle of reincarnation!"

He was furious.

His master lived in seclusion in the Palace of Peace and had entrusted the vast Underworld to him.

Now, such a thing had happened. How could he explain this to his master?

Before he could ponder further, he saw the Southern Ghost Emperor, Du Ziren, quickly enter the hall.

"Reporting to Your Great Emperor, outside the hall, Xuandu of the Human Sect, Guangchengzi of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and Daoist Duobao of the Intercepting Sect are requesting an audience."

Hm?

Fengdu was taken aback.

The chief disciples of the Three Pure Ones had all come?

This was truly a rare sight.

It was because everyone in the Great Wilderness knew about the conflict between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect.

The fact that the chief disciples of the Three Pure Ones were coming together genuinely shocked Fengdu.

Had the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect reconciled?

He was even more shocked.

If the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect reconciled, it would mean the Three Pure Ones would no longer be fighting amongst themselves!

If the Three Pure Ones made peace, these were three Saints.

What power in the Great Wilderness could stop them?

Even the Western Teachings, with their two Saints, had been soundly beaten by the Three Pure Ones before, their Saintly bodies even severed.

Fengdu took a deep breath and did not dare to delay, immediately saying, "Please invite the three of them in."

As Du Ziren departed, three Daoists then walked in from outside.

"Xuandu of the Human Sect, Guangchengzi of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and Duobao of the Intercepting Sect pay their respects to Great Emperor Fengdu."

After all, this was the Underworld, and proper etiquette had to be observed.

"There's no need for formalities, my three Daoist brothers. May I ask why you have visited the Underworld today?"

Fengdu's expression was indifferent, but a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes.

The relationship between the Underworld and the Three Pure Ones could be described as completely unrelated.

The fact that all three of them had come together made Fengdu extremely curious.

Guangchengzi, with a smile on his face, calmly asked, "Great Emperor Fengdu, are you currently troubled by the matter of the disappearance of the soul of Nüwa, the daughter of Shennong?"

Fengdu was stunned and looked at Guangchengzi. "You know about this?"

"That's right."

Xuandu directly affirmed and then recounted to Fengdu what had happened to Shennong.

Bang!

Fengdu slammed his hand heavily on the table, his face contorted with rage. "Well done, Heavenly Court! How dare you interfere with reincarnation? Do you think my Underworld is without capable individuals?!"

"If that is the case, I shall lead my troops to attack the Heavenly Court and let them know the might of my Underworld!"

Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao exchanged glances, then calmly stated, "The Heavenly Court is using Nüwa to coerce Shennong and covet the position of Human Emperor's Sage Teacher, thus offending our master's dignity. The three of us are willing to assist Great Emperor Fengdu in attacking the Heavenly Court!"

"Thank you for your assistance, my three Daoist brothers."

Fengdu nodded.

He took out the Underworld Edict, and immediately a majestic divine sound echoed throughout the entire Underworld.

"Six Heavens of Luofeng, Five Ghost Emperors, Ten Yama Kings, heed my command!"

"Since my master established the Underworld and governs reincarnation, we have resided in the Underworld, detached from the affairs of the Great Wilderness."

"However, the Heavenly Court is unrighteous, disrupting reincarnation and offending my Underworld. Are they bullying us, the Underworld, because we have no one? How can we possibly agree?!"

His voice was furious.

The Underworld had always kept to itself, avoiding worldly disputes. Even so, it wasn't enough, and someone still wanted to suppress it. This was simply too much!

As Fengdu's voice echoed, the vast Underworld also responded.

"Those who offend the Underworld will be punished, no matter how far they flee!"

No one knew who shouted it first, but immediately after, the only sound in the vast Underworld was this one.

Fengdu walked out of Fengdu City and stood in the sky above the Underworld. His posture was straight, his expression proud, and his voice, as soon as he spoke, silenced all others.

"Underworld, heed my command! Muster one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers, with the Ten Yama Kings as vanguards, the Six Heavens of Luofeng as generals, and the Five Ghost Emperors as commanders. Follow me on this expedition to shatter the heavens!"

"Our Underworld will make the Heavenly Court tremble, and make them remember the might of our Underworld!"

Battle!

Battle!

Battle!

The vast Underworld was filled with surging battle intent.

Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao exchanged glances, revealing smiles.

One must know that the Lord of the Heavenly Court, Haotian, was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the Lord of the Three Realms. In terms of seniority, he was their junior grand-uncle, and he also possessed the Heavenly Court.

If they had no legitimate reason, the three of them likely wouldn't even be able to see Haotian.

Now, with Fengdu's assistance, things would be vastly different.

As Fengdu's orders were relayed, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Six Heavens of Luofeng, the Ten Yama Kings, and the one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers all made ready, their battle intent soaring.

With a single command from Fengdu, the one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers charged out of the Underworld, heading straight for the Heavenly Court!

High above the nine heavens.

The Heavenly Court, Southern Heaven.

One hundred thousand Yin Soldiers were arrayed, with Fengdu, Guangchengzi, Xuandu, and Daoist Duobao standing quietly at the front.

Fengdu's expression was indifferent as he looked at the guard of the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Giant Spirit God, and spoke directly, "Where is Haotian?!"

"He detained souls and interfered with reincarnation, offending my Underworld. Make Haotian come out to see me!"

He never cared about Haotian's title as Heavenly Emperor.

He was merely a Quasi-Saint. His master was a Saint!

Moreover, Haotian had erred first this time, so the Underworld was in the right.

Before the Giant Spirit God could speak, Guangchengzi unleashed the Sky-Turning Seal.

This was a supreme treasure refined by Primordial Lord from a broken piece of Buzhou Mountain. It was truly infinitely mysterious. Under the impetus of Quasi-Saint power, it was hurled directly at the Southern Heavenly Gate without any hesitation.

Boom!

With a deafening roar.

The massive Southern Heavenly Gate shattered under the Sky-Turning Seal, exploding and causing the entire Heavenly Court to shake.

After all, the current Heavenly Court, having suffered the trampling of the Witch Clan, no longer possessed the majesty of the former Demon Court.

Beyond the shattered Southern Heavenly Gate, Guangchengzi's voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Court.

"Haotian, you threatened the Human Emperor and coveted the position of Sage Teacher of the Human Race, offending my master's dignity. Today, I, Guangchengzi, will ascend to the Heavenly Court on behalf of my master!"

Following him, Xuandu and Duobao's voices also rang out: "As will I!"

"Why the unnecessary words? Haotian, hand over Nüwa's soul, or my Underworld will shatter this Heavenly Court today!"

Fengdu's voice was icy. With the Southern Heavenly Gate already destroyed, he directly led the one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers into the Heavenly Court.

At the same moment.

From the direction of the Hall of Miraculous Mist, a dazzling golden light shot out, illuminating the entire Heavenly Court. Immediately after, a mighty Quasi-Saint aura swept across the heavens.

"The Underworld has grown bold!"

"I am the Heavenly Emperor appointed by the Dao Ancestor, the co-lord of the Three Realms. Do you not fear punishment from the Dao Ancestor for your actions today?!"

The moment this voice fell.

A middle-aged man emerged, clad in a golden dragon robe and wearing a crown with beaded curtains hanging down. Every movement exuded imperial presence, and his majesty was self-evident.
