The Underworld!
"I did not know that a great deity would honor us with your presence. Forgive us for failing to welcome you from afar!"
"Greetings, Great Deity!"
"Greetings, Great Deity!"
"This humble one greets the Great Deity!"
After Qing Mo brought Xiao Yu to the Underworld, Houtu, the Empress who had transformed her body into reincarnation itself, along with the Fengdu Emperor, the Eastern Peak Emperor, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva—
These truly high-ranking underworld deities of the netherworld, as well as the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Yama, the Four Great Judges, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, and countless other underworld officials, all solemnly bowed to Qing Mo before them in a vast, surging mass!
"There is no need for such courtesy, everyone!"
"This young master has come unannounced. I hope none of you underworld deities will take offense!"
"This little fox selflessly protected a region of humanity in the mortal world. To ease the doubts in her heart, this young master brought her to the underworld so she could see her parents and untie the knot in her heart!"
Qing Mo's expression remained unchanged as he looked at these immensely powerful underworld deities before him!
Even before Houtu, a saint of the Earthly Dao, he was no different!
As for Xiao Yu, who had come to the underworld for the first time, her face was filled with shock upon seeing these underworld deities who had lain hidden in the depths of the netherworld for countless years and had never appeared of their own accord!
After all, having never encountered or learned about the underworld, she had previously only heard of Black and White Impermanence, as well as Ox-Head and Horse-Face!
At most, she had heard King Yama's title from Liu Chenxiang and the Eighth Prince!
