Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, everyone is united in fighting against the enemy from the Underworld and is gradually gaining control of the situation.
As for the three powerful ghost generals, they all fell to Tang San, Bei Na, and Jian Lan. However, all three had used their full strength and were injured to varying degrees. These powerful enemies from the Ghost Clan were indeed not easy to deal with.
With everyone's efforts, the last little devil from the Underworld was finally eliminated. The portal stopped releasing Ghost Clan and began to shrink, showing signs of closing.
It's very simple. Qi Ling in the Underworld succeeded in closing the passage to the Underworld, which is why the portal slowly closed and no more Ghost Clan came from that side.
At the same time, everyone watched the portal with bated breath, because as the portal gradually closed, no one returned, causing everyone to worry about the safety of Bibi Dong and Qi Ling.
Finally, just as the portal was about to close, a flash of silver light appeared, and a figure emerged from it—it was Bibi Dong.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's eyes were red and she looked heartbroken. As soon as she appeared, she was about to walk towards the teleportation portal again, but the portal had already closed completely and was nowhere to be seen.
"Mother, you're back! Where's Qi Ling?" Qian Renxue asked hurriedly as she saw that only Bibi Dong was there.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips and said with difficulty, "My little brother used all his strength to bring me back, but he ended up staying there and can't come back."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. This was indeed very much in line with Qi Ling's usual style, but now that the teleportation portal had been closed, how could they possibly bring Qi Ling back?
At this moment, Bibi Dong suppressed her grief and said, "No, I must find a way to rescue my brother as soon as possible!"
"But Mother, Qi Ling is currently in the Ghost Realm, and the portal has been closed. How can we rescue him?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Since the door is closed, we'll find a way to open it again!" Bibi Dong said firmly. "No matter what, I will find a way to rescue my little brother!"
The others naturally thought the same way. To save Qi Ling, they were willing to risk even a counterattack back to the Underworld.
In the Underworld, after an unknown amount of time, Qi Ling slowly awoke from her unconsciousness. She tried to open her eyes, only to find that they were covered by something.
He then tried to move his limbs, only to find that his hands and feet were bound, allowing him to sit up but not even stand up.
Moreover, Qi Ling felt that there was some kind of force around her that suppressed the power in her body, making it impossible for her to break free from such a simple restraint.
In this situation, Qi Ling couldn't even be sure where she was. However, thinking about what happened before she lost consciousness, she should be in the Underworld now.
Qi Ling had initially thought he was doomed in that situation, but now it seemed he had been captured by the Ghost Clan. Since they hadn't taken his life directly, they clearly had something in mind. He just didn't know what they wanted to do to Qi Ling.
"It's unlikely that they've eaten so many of their own kind that they suddenly see something as rare as me and treat me like a main dish, right?" Qi Ling thought helplessly. "Thinking about it, it's quite possible. I'm practically a Divine Beast now, eating me would be very nutritious."
Although Qi Ling tried every possible way to escape, she really had no other choice but to wait for things to change. They couldn't have kept her here forever without communicating with her.
Sure enough, not long after, a sound came from around Qi Ling, as if someone had pushed open the door and walked in. Judging from the light footsteps of the person, they were not as tall as the ghost generals Qi Ling had seen before, but rather as delicate as a woman.
"Ah, you're awake?" Just then, the other person spoke, confirming Qi Ling's guess; it was a rather pleasant female voice.
Qi Ling remained silent, intending to wait for the other person to say something more and clarify the situation before speaking. The other person continued, seemingly oblivious, "I never expected you to wake up so quickly after suffering such injuries! No wonder Father values you so much and keeps you under such tight surveillance."
From the other party's words, Qi Ling gleaned three pieces of information: First, she was indeed in the Underworld, and most likely had been captured and strictly guarded by the Ghost King; the restrictions placed upon her were probably the Ghost King's doing.
Second, regardless of the other party's purpose, since they have imprisoned you, they must have something for you to do. If you want to escape, this is your chance.
Third, the person before us should be the Ghost King's daughter, and most likely also a member of the Ghost Clan. Moreover, at least for now, she doesn't seem to be able to communicate normally like the other Ghost Clan we've met before.
Through the people in front of him, Qi Ling could at least learn more about the situation here, so he asked, "What do you want with me here?"
The woman in front of him seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I don't know either. This is the first time I've met you, how could I know what Father intends to do to you?"
"However, this is the first time I've ever met someone like you. You're different from everyone else; you're unusually good-looking."
Qi Ling raised an eyebrow slightly and continued, "Thank you. In that case, could you let me out?"
"Seriously, that's impossible! Since you're locked up here, you're obviously a prisoner, so of course I'm not letting you go," the woman said. "Alright, I won't say any more. Someone'll be here soon, I'm leaving."
Then, the sound of the door opening came, indicating that the woman had left. Qi Ling couldn't help but feel helpless. It seemed that she could only wait for a ghost king to come and see when he planned to see her.
"I never expected this person to look like someone from the Ghost Clan." Qi Ling muttered to herself, "Would people from the Ghost Clan speak like that? Or are there such special beings among the Ghost Clan?"
"Yes, people often say I don't seem like a Ghost Clan." Just then, the woman who was supposed to leave suddenly spoke up again beside Qi Ling Qi Ling, startling her.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you already leave?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, no, I just opened the door for a second, but I didn't leave," the woman laughed. "I just wanted to see if you'd say anything bad about me while I was gone."
Qi Ling suddenly felt a headache coming on. This woman's personality really was like that of a spoiled little princess, which matched her status.
"Hehe, before my father arrives, tell me about other things," the woman said. "Since you come from a completely different world, what is your world like?"
Qi Ling a pang of helplessness, but still said, "I haven't even seen what your world is like, so I can't make any comparisons. But my original world was indeed a very beautiful place."
So, Qi Ling told the woman in front of her about the scenery and situation of the Douluo Continent. Although Qi Ling was not good at expressing herself and her words were rather bland and uninteresting, the woman listened very attentively and even occasionally exclaimed in amazement.
After Qi Ling gave a general explanation, the woman exclaimed, "Wow, your world is such a beautiful world! It's wonderful. No wonder my father and the others all wanted to go to your world."
Qi Ling said helplessly, "I believe your father and the others want to go, but their purpose is quite different from yours."
"Yes, that's true," the woman said. "It's wonderful. Your world is completely different from ours. If I have the chance, I'd love to visit your world."
"Then it's probably hopeless," Qi Ling said helplessly. "Your father brought me back, and he probably won't let me go easily, let alone let me return to my own world."
"And even if such an opportunity existed, I wouldn't agree, because your father would most likely come back with me, and I can't let my world fall into such a crisis again."
"Hmm, this is indeed a troublesome matter," the woman said. "However, although I cannot let you go, I should be able to ask my father not to kill you."
"When the time comes, will you take me to your world alone? Don't tell Father and the others, is that alright?"
"Hmm, that's one way," Qi Ling nodded and said, "Then my life will depend on you."
"Don't worry, I've got it covered! My father loves me very much, he definitely won't refuse my request," the woman said with great confidence.
After talking for a while longer, the woman said again, "Alright, this time I really have to go, otherwise someone will definitely find out."
"It's one thing if those mute big guys see this, but if anyone else sees it and complains to my father, I'll be punished too. I'm off, bye!"
This time, after the doorbell rang, Qi Ling first confirmed that she had really left before she breathed a sigh of relief. Meeting someone like that was truly an unexpected turn of events, but she hoped it would turn out for the better.
At the same time, Qi Ling could indeed tell from her words that the Underworld was a barren land compared to the Douluo Continent, which explained why they were so eager to attack the Douluo Continent world.
