Let's Go! We're Going to the Underworld to Demand Justice!

Master Tongtian's vision went black again.

Go... go again?

To the Underworld, no less?!

My daughter! My precious daughter!

That's Empress Houtu's territory!

The moment Xiruan clamored to charge into the Underworld, the aura of the trial version of Pangu's True Body sent out an invisible ripple. It pierced through layers of space and touched the laws of reincarnation in the Primal Wilderness world.

Deep within the Blood Sea of the Underworld, the Six Paths Samsara Disk spun slowly.

At the core of the Samsara Disk stood an ancient and magnificent palace.

A woman clad in a dark emperor's robe, with a compassionate yet supremely majestic face, slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate past and future, discerning all illusions within the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Her sight pierced through the endless gloom, crossed the Thirty-Three Heavens, and fell upon the milky-white infant who was waving her tiny fists and clamoring to collect debts on her territory.

"Pangu... Father God's aura?"

Empress Houtu whispered, her voice filled with boundless ancientness and confusion.

"Daughter! My dear daughter! Please don't be rash!"

Master Tongtian abandoned all pretense of Saintly demeanor, racking his brain to dissuade her.

"Daddy, don't be scared!" Xiruan turned back, giving him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I'm going to get all our employees back this time!"

"If anyone dares to stop me, I'll tear down their house too!"

Master Tongtian wanted to cry but had no tears.

You want to tear it down?

Daughter, the Underworld is a place Empress Houtu established by transforming herself into reincarnation, with supreme merit!

That place, let alone you, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself would have to show it some respect!

You're going there to tear down houses?

Do you want to punch a hole in the entire reincarnation order of the Primal Wilderness?!

"Empress Houtu is a transformation of Father God Pangu's essence and blood, the Ancestral Witch of the Wu Clan, compassionate and infinitely meritorious..."

Master Tongtian tried to educate his daughter, who knew nothing of the Primal Wilderness's power, about the terrifying background of the Underworld's boss.

Before he could finish, Xiruan interrupted him.

"Pangu? What's that? Is it tasty?"

Xiruan blinked her large, dark eyes, full of curiosity.

In her simple memories, she seemed to have heard the name. It sounded like... a strongman who opened the heavens and the earth?

Master Tongtian: "..."

He felt like he and his daughter were not on the same wavelength at all.

"Master! Senior!"

Wudang Holy Mother, standing nearby, heard that Xiruan was going to the Underworld. Although she was filled with worry, she also had blind faith.

Since Senior dared to say she was going, she must have her own confidence! Senior's decision was the guidance of the Great Dao!

She respectfully said to Xiruan:

"The Underworld is powerful, not only with the Ten Yama Kings but also with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva presiding over it. Under him is a divine beast named Diting, who can discern truth from falsehood in the Three Realms and knows the past and future, making him very troublesome."

"Most importantly, Empress Houtu transformed herself into reincarnation, her Primordial Spirit connected to the entire Underworld. Within the Underworld, she is an invincible existence, and even Saints are reluctant to provoke her easily."

She was reminding Xiruan that the Underworld was deep and not to be trifled with.

Xiruan's ears automatically interpreted it differently.

Ten Yama Kings? That's ten little foremen.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?? That guy's a double-crosser!

Diting? Can hear the past and future? Isn't that just a fortune-telling dog?!

As for that Empress Houtu...

"What? She's connected to the entire Underworld?" Xiruan's eyes gleamed.

"Isn't that perfect?"

"Then if we just defeat her, doesn't that mean we've defeated the entire Underworld?"

"That'll save so much trouble! No need to find those little foremen one by one!"

"..."

"..."

Both fell silent.

They realized they had underestimated this little ancestor's thought process. Her peculiar way of thinking was simply... unassailable.

"Great! It's settled!"

The more Xiruan thought about it, the more perfect her plan seemed.

To catch the king, first catch the thief! If she could just deal with that big boss named Houtu, wouldn't all problems be solved?

"Auntie, do you know how to get to the Underworld?" Xiruan turned to look at Wudang Holy Mother.

"Disciple... disciple knows." Wudang Holy Mother nodded with difficulty.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now!"

As Xiruan spoke, she reached out to grab Wudang Holy Mother's hand.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Master Tongtian let out a heart-wrenching cry that shook the entire Zixiao Palace.

"Daughter! Listen to your father! You really can't go to the Underworld! People die if they go! They really die!"

He was genuinely panicked this time. While going to the Heavenly Court, Kunlun Mountain, or Spirit Mountain had been dangerous, they were at least Saintly domains. They were all familiar with each other, and there was still a glimmer of hope.

But the Underworld was different! The place of reincarnation was the cornerstone of the entire Primal Wilderness world's operation! Causing trouble there wouldn't just alarm Houtu; it would alarm the Heavenly Dao! If a heavenly punishment descended, it wouldn't just be Xiruan; even he, her father, would be annihilated along with her!

Xiruan looked at her father's erratic demeanor, her small brows furrowed tightly. She felt like her dad was genuinely terrified. It made sense; being locked in a dark room, owing so much money, and having creditors constantly hounding him would break anyone's spirit.

"Sigh."

Xiruan couldn't help but sigh, a look of "paternal love" appearing on her young face, far beyond her years. She walked up to Master Tongtian and gently patted his hand with her chubby little one.

"Daddy, don't be scared." Her voice was unusually gentle. "You stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back. When I bring back all our employees and settle all our debts, no one will dare bully you anymore. Then I'll take you home!"

After speaking, she stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed her father's cheek. Her small face regained its fearless and resolute expression, and she waved her hand at Wudang Holy Mother.

"Let's go!"

"To the Underworld to seek justice!"

Master Tongtian stared blankly at the small figure disappearing beyond the grand doors of Zixiao Palace. He raised his hand, which froze in mid-air, his eyes unconsciously moistening.
