Chapter 511: 241

In Shuikou Village, within the Void Great Realm of Ah Zhuo, his Primordial Spirit gazed from afar, having long locked onto the movements of Xi Sima and his cohort. Xi Sima’s ambush had not escaped his notice.

"It turns out Granny Sha and the others have always been guarding the surroundings."

Ah Zhuo silently thought to himself, "No wonder the bees have been restless lately, sensing that fugitives are nearby."

He did not make his observations known, silently retracting his Primordial Spirit.

"Ah Zhuo!"

Auntie Ah Ying, holding a kitchen knife, said sternly, "Come with me, and explain just what good deeds you’ve been up to while outside these years!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Ah Zhuo hung his head, following her into the house.

His cries of agony emanated from the inner room as Auntie Ah Ying continued to interrogate him under duress.

Chen Shi, Qiao Hu, and Qiao Wei stood outside the courtyard, listening to the noise inside, filled with worry.

Ah Zhuo had obviously learned quite a skill somewhere, and was naturally subject to Auntie Ah Ying’s interrogation.

"My mother has never beaten my father as hard as that," Qiao Wei said with concern.

Chen Shi was also quite worried.

Ah Zhuo clearly had many secrets hidden from his family; if he didn’t confess, he likely wouldn’t be able to talk his way out of it.

After a long while, Chen Shi followed Ah Zhuo’s beekeeper cart out the door. Ah Zhuo’s face was flush with color, not appearing as if Auntie had given him a beating, but rather as if he had been rewarded.

Chen Shi shook his head, inwardly blaming how complex the adult world is, thinking he had worried for nothing.

Heading deep into the Great Southern Lake, Ah Zhuo no longer hid his powers. Bees transformed into Evil Spirits over a person tall, flapping their wings in flight, like clouds moving swiftly through the sky.

The beekeeper cart then morphed into the chariot of the Underworld Bee General, traveling amidst the bee clouds, patrolling the surroundings.

"Uncle Ah Zhuo, how did you become a Yin Commander?" Chen Shi asked.

Ah Zhuo answered, "Beekeeping."

Chen Shi was puzzled. Beekeeping alone could lead to becoming a Yin Commander?

Ah Zhuo said, "The last time I went out with your grandfather, it was to descend to the underworld in search of your lost soul. That time, it should have been the third descent."

Chen Shi’s eyes widened in astonishment. Uncle Ah Zhuo had accompanied Grandfather Chen Yindou into the underworld to look for him?

"The first two times he went to the underworld, Old Chen went by himself; he didn’t want to drag us into it."

Ah Zhuo reminisced about the past, narrating the old tales, "That time, he had fought a great battle in the Western Capital and was injured. The first descent into the underworld was unprepared, and he nearly left his life there. The second time, he was prepared, but his strength wasn’t enough, and he was powerless to find a trace of you. The third time, he had to seek us out. There were six of us in our group."

At this moment, the swarm of bees became agitated, buzzing uproariously as they surged in one direction.

Ah Zhuo felt a stir in his heart and said, "They have discovered a fugitive and are trying to capture the runaway."

Chen Shi listened intently, unconcerned about the fugitive but deeply interested in his grandfather’s experiences seeking him in the underworld. He asked, "Which six people?"

"The Six Gentlemen of the Five Great Lakes. The instructor, Grave Stone Carver, Heavenly Fox, green sheep, Witch, and beekeeper from the small group in Heavenly Court. I was the youngest, so I was ranked last. These were the nicknames we gave to ourselves. Others also referred to us by other nicknames, none of them flattering."

Ah Zhuo said, "During that descent into the underworld, Granny Sha led the way. She was known as the Soul Searching Rakshasa and was the most formidable in the underworld. In the mortal world, she was much less effective. She interrogated little ghosts everywhere, searching for your whereabouts. The underworld was replete with powerful masters and deities everywhere, yet our visit was very strange; we hardly encountered any deities or spirits."

Chen Shi felt a jolt in his heart and said, "Could it be that something major had happened in the underworld?"

Ah Zhuo nodded and said, "Indeed, there was a major incident. We saw the corpses of many deities and spirits, hung in the sky, with hooks pierced through their jawbones or chests, dangling down from above."

Chen Shi’s heart thumped violently.

A great upheaval had taken place in the underworld, many deities and spirits had been executed!

Hung in the sky with hooks through their jaws, this was the display of bodies after a severe execution!

"We encountered a formidable enemy in the underworld, a deity with supreme power. His stature was tall, his muscles vast beyond comparison, slaying deities and spirits as easily as if he was picking up objects from a bag."

Ah Zhuo’s eyelids twitched momentarily, obviously, the recollection of the terrifying events of the past still sending chills down his spine.

Even as a great expert like him, when facing that deity with supreme power, he still felt an intense sense of powerlessness.

"I had never seen his techniques before, they were peculiar, of tremendous might. His target was not us but another group of deities. We just happened to have strayed into their battleground."

Ah Zhuo paused, showing a look of confusion. He emitted a strange buzzing like a bee, calling back the bees that were chasing the fugitive.

The bee cloud hesitated.

Chen Shi followed the flight path of the bee cloud and saw a wooden cart floating on the surface of the lake — his own wooden cart!

The wooden cart had been used by Granny Sha and Black Pot as a boat, drifting on the lake. They must have been searching for Chen Shi but unexpectedly encountered the bee swarm’s pursuit.

The Five Ghost Kings covered the wooden cart, blocking the bees’ view. The cart had sprouted six arms and was madly paddling to escape the area. It also opened its gaping mouth, stuck its tongue out into the water, and spun around, driving the wooden cart forward!

Black Pot lay at the rear of the cart, furiously blowing on the water, hoping to push the wooden cart a bit faster.

However, the ripples on the water had betrayed them. The bees had been following the ripples in pursuit and were about to capture them.

Hearing the call of the Bee General, the bees ultimately gave up the chase. They surrounded the chariot of the Bee General and, flapping their wings, entered the underworld, flying towards the Bee General’s mansion.

Granny Sha breathed a sigh of relief, recalled the Five Ghost Kings, and gritted her teeth, "You merciless rascal, showing no regard for old friendships!"
