Chapter 476: Chapter 227 Damn it

The wine in the underworld was anything but bland and watery. Chen Shi was rendered utterly drunk by the beekeeper, Ah Zhuo. After a short while, Ah Zhuo was also thoroughly intoxicated, walking arm in arm with Chen Shi, each calling the other brother.

"Your Highness, we’ve found the hiding place of the fugitive Daoist Xue."

At that moment, a Bee Officer came forward and bowed, saying, "Daoist Xue is one hundred and forty-three years old, with ninety-two years of mortal life and fifty-one years in the underworld. Logically speaking, he has been dead for fifty-one years. Fifty-one years ago, he used the Fake Death Technique to escape, but was later found by an underworld messenger, and again slipped away using the Substitute Method. After he was located once more, the messengers tried to trap him with the Seven Stars Light formation, but he escaped during the chaos. The third time he was found was twenty years ago."

Ah Zhuo, quite drunk, asked, "How did he escape that time?"

The Bee Officer flipped through the ledger and replied, "At that time, Daoist Xue bought eighty pregnant sows and released them into a pasture. From the underworld’s perspective, they appeared as variously sized coronas of reincarnation, making it impossible to approach. Thirty-six underworld messengers bravely breached the Reincarnation Array, and four got trapped in reincarnation cycles. During the turmoil, Daoist Xue used the Life Borrowing Technique to borrow twenty years of life from a young man passing by the fields, deceiving the messengers’ vision and making his escape."

Chen Shi, with crooked drunken eyes, laughed, "This man is quite the escape artist."

Ah Zhuo asked, "How did you discover him?"

"The young man from whom he borrowed life has died. He was only forty-two this year. Originally, he should have died at sixty-two, but he died twenty years earlier instead."

The Bee Officer continued, "We only realized there was something strange about the man’s lifespan when, coincidentally, our bees were gathering honey. Daoist Xue passed by; his lifespan was exhausted, yet he was still alive and well, alerting our bee swarm."

"Little Ten, come with me to capture him and bring him to justice!"

Ah Zhuo stood up, pulling Chen Shi to his feet, and they staggered out of the Underworld Bee Mansion, arms over each other’s shoulders.

The Bee Officer hurriedly followed after them, saying, "When enforcing the law, Your Highness cannot bring a living person with you; it goes against the rules of the underworld."

Ah Zhuo, brushing his sleeves, retorted, "Chen Shi is my brother too. His grandfather and I are brothers, so isn’t he my brother as well? How can he not accompany me? Your words lack compassion!"

The Bee Officer, looking troubled, clenched his teeth and conceded, "Fine, since the high judge isn’t here and no one in the underworld is taking charge, let’s someone bring honey water for our lord and the young master to sober up."

A Bee Woman came forward with honey water and attended to the two as they drank it down.

The Bee Officer prepared the troops and carriages, inviting Ah Zhuo and Chen Shi to board. The bee swarm surrounded the carriage as it raced out of the underworld island, speeding over the sea.

After Chen Shi drank the honey water and the chill wind blew over him, he started to sober up a bit. As he admired the scenery outside, suddenly he saw in the Southern Nether Sea a gigantic piece of land soaring into the Nether Sea with a tremendous Dragon Roar issuing from a dragon that had flown from the mortal world. It broke through the barriers between the Yin Yang Two Realms and landed on that massive tract of land in the underworld.

"That is a fragment of Tongue-pulling Hell."

Ah Zhuo, holding his head and complaining of a headache, told Chen Shi, who was gazing intently, "It’s been there in the Southern Nether Sea for a long time. It was already there before I became a Yin Commander. No more drinking for me in the future."

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze and said, "That dragon..."

Ah Zhuo replied, "It must be a treasure that has taken shape, dwelling on a fragment of Tongue-pulling Hell. It’s a restricted area of the Southern Nether Sea."

While they spoke, the skies above Tongue-pulling Hell split open, and a path of green stone slabs extended from the mortal world. A powerful figure, like an empress, stepped onto the green stone path and entered the underworld, along with another woman whose face faintly resembled that of the boat girl but was now a towering figure, tens of feet tall, fighting with the empress—Granny Sha and the boat girl.

Surrounded by the buzzing swarm, the carriage passed by them.

On the green stone path, Granny Sha and the boat girl saw clearly the people on the carriage and both paused in bewilderment.

However, the speed of the bee swarm was swift, and they flashed past in an instant.

Immediately after, the bees flapped their wings and broke through the barrier, disappearing from the Yin Yang Two Realms.

"It looked like Little Ten and that bastard Ah Zhuo!"

Granny Sha was startled. In that brief glimpse, she recognized a young man who looked very much like Chen Shi, sitting in the carriage dressed lavishly as a graceful gentleman, somewhat different from the usual Chen Shi.

"The fugitive is sitting in the carriage of the Yin Commander!" The boat girl was also surprised.

They had followed the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen all this way and had fought their way here without realizing they would encounter Chen Shi. What was more unexpected was that Chen Shi seemed to have prospered, holding a high position in the affairs of the underworld.

But they did not have time to think further, continuing their fight as they landed on the fragment of Tongue-pulling Hell.

The two felt a restless urge in their tongues and, startled, quickly clamped their mouths shut, channeling a portion of their cultivation to suppress their tongues.

This place was filled with a strange force, and one’s tongue could risk flying out with an open mouth.

They leapt up, fighting fiercely as they chased the dragon.

In the sky, whiskers of the dragon dangled as the two women darted between them, striking increasingly ferocious blows.

Granny Sha let out a shout and drove the Supreme Eight Diagrams Protection Technique, manipulating the elements of wind, fire, thunder, lake, mountain, water, heaven, and earth to harness the power of nature, growing stronger and stronger.

The boat girl revealed her True Body of an underworld messenger, and her power in the underworld soared as a horse-headed Primordial Spirit emerged behind her. She sneered, "Granny Sha, you dare to use your full strength in the underworld? Are you not afraid that your old nemesis will come looking for you?"

Granny Sha also summoned her Primordial Spirit and scoffed, "I have fought my way in and out of the underworld as if strolling through the streets; when have I ever been afraid of you? Send as many messengers as you like; I’ll overturn them all!"

The Judge Dragon Whisker Pen, after fourteen hundred years of transformation, had become a sizable dragon that slithered across the fragment of Tongue-pulling Hell. It climbed to a loftier position, looking down upon the two from above.

The dragon sensed that these two were incredibly formidable, far more competent than any other Treasure Hunters, which was why it had fled back from the mortal world and hidden here. It had not expected to be tracked down again.
