Chapter 512: Chapter 241: The Third Descent into the Underworld_2

On the bee carriage, Chen Shi also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Granny Sha has a bad reputation in the underworld; Uncle Zhuo is a Yin Commander, and all the insects under his command are yin soldiers. No wonder they would capture Granny Sha."

Uncle Zhuo continued on the previous topic, "That Supreme Ghost God’s combat strength was truly formidable, and those ghost gods that besieged him were also extremely astonishing in their power. All sorts of inconceivably mighty Magical Treasures collided in the sky, battling fiercely. We were merely in the midst of the battlefield, not having joined the fight, but we felt like we could be killed at any moment. We prepared to retreat, to break out of this battlefield where the ghost gods clashed. At that moment, Old Chen Head said, Little Ten, he saw Little Ten!"

Chen Shi paused, "Grandfather saw me?"

Uncle Zhuo hesitated, "He said he saw you. At that time, you were standing on top of that Supreme Ghost God’s head, a tiny figure. However, I didn’t see it, Old Du didn’t see it either. The green sheep, the Heavenly Fox, they all said they didn’t see it. Afterwards, we suspected that perhaps Old Chen Head was missing you too much, and his eyes played tricks on him."

Chen Shi frowned slightly.

Uncle Zhuo continued, "Old Chen Head rushed towards the center of the battlefield, heedless of everything, we panicked and followed him in. The strength of those ghost gods, almost all of them beyond us, it was far too dangerous to rush in."

They followed Chen Yindou, fought with all their might, withstanding the terrifying impacts of Spells, Divine Skills, and Magical Treasures. The Grave Stone Carver Du Yiran, besides Chen Yindou, was the strongest one but he too was seriously injured!

Granny Sha, the Heavenly Fox, the green sheep, each of them bore grave injuries.

Chen Yindou saw that if he continued to charge ahead, he feared that all these old brothers would have to accompany him in death, and he could only return weepingly.

Among them, Uncle Zhuo, being young, received extra care from everyone, and his injuries were the lightest in comparison.

He escorted everyone out of the encirclement, back to the mortal world.

"On the path of escorting, a ghost god fell, dying right before my eyes."

Uncle Zhuo said, "Before his last breath, he clutched my hand tightly, only exhaling his last after a moment. When he let go of my hand, there was an extra seal in it. After I escorted everyone to the mortal world and settled them down, I came back to continue being a beekeeper. When I approached those insects, suddenly, all the bees transformed."

At that moment, an inexplicable Divine Power burst forth from within him, and the bees he bred became immensely large, carrying a thick yin energy.

The bee carriage became the commanded chariot of the underworld, crowding around their new Yin Commander, flying with flapping wings, traversing heaven and earth, shuttling between the Yin Yang Two Realms.

In the underworld, the Bee Man Mansion became their hive, the Great Southern Lake, as well as the Southern Sea of the underworld, became their territory.

Together with the Bee Man, they guarded the order of the Yin Yang Two Realms.

This was the origin of his role as a Yin Commander.

He was not ennobled as a Yin Commander for his merit, but became the new Yin Commander through a twist of fate after that battle.

He discovered that after becoming the Yin Commander, he had to comply with the rules of the underworld, capturing criminals from the underworld and guarding the laws of the underworld.

For example, people like Granny Sha, who had repeatedly committed evildoings and challenged the laws of the underworld, were in the Yin Commander’s arrest column.

A living Yin Commander, when walking in the mortal world, would occasionally encounter such people and the insects would take care of them without his direct intervention.

Granny Sha managed to escape the bees’ pursuit multiple times, mainly because Yin Commander Uncle Zhuo turned a blind eye; otherwise, a hook would’ve pierced through Granny Sha’s head long ago, hanging outside the Yin Commander Mansion for all to see.

After being pursued several times by the bees, Granny Sha fled at the sight of them and was extremely dissatisfied with Uncle Zhuo, hurling accusations in speech and writing.

"Every time she came to the Five Great Lakes, she was chased by the bees under my command," Uncle Zhuo said with a sense of helplessness.

The Six Gentlemen of the Five Great Lakes were almost all criminal groups that had violated the laws of the underworld, and since then, Uncle Zhuo gradually became estranged from everyone.

"There was another incident that happened during the time I became the Yin Commander."

Uncle Zhuo said melancholically, "The green sheep, he died."

Chen Shi’s body shook slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Uncle Green Sheep died?"

Uncle Zhuo nodded lightly.

In that battle in the underworld, the green sheep fought the fiercest and was the most severely wounded. After Uncle Zhuo sent everyone back to the mortal world, the green sheep left alone, hiding from everyone.

Half a year later, when Chen Yindou found him, the old companion was already dead.

——His injuries were too severe, he lost his vital spark, and was on the brink of death. He ran back to his hometown in Qianyang and struggled for a while, but still breathed his last.

Chen Yindou dug up his corpse, dried it in the moonlight, and used a spell to let him stand in for a village deity, impersonating the deity to absorb offerings so that he wouldn’t truly become an evil spirit. As long as the offerings continued, even though he was an evil spirit, he could survive.

The Six Gentlemen of the Five Great Lakes had lost two, one being the Heavenly Fox. The Heavenly Fox’s lifespan was exhausted, and he died of old age. Chen Yindou created a Ghost God Domain to preserve his life. The green sheep died in battle, and Chen Yindou used a spell to extend his life with offerings.

Azhuo glanced at Chen Shi, saw his guilt and self-blame, and shook his head, "The death of the green sheep has nothing to do with you; you don’t need to blame yourself. We have all received your grandfather’s kindness, and as his friends, we would naturally risk our lives to help. We are helping him, not you."

Chen Shi said, "I will repay the kindness my grandfather owed." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The bee carriage entered the Yin Commander Mansion. At this moment, the sloppy Taoist Xue Daoist was hung outside the mansion. The yin wind blew and swayed with the breeze.

Chen Shi took a glance and withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, "The Stone Rock Lady wasn’t hung outside, it seems Uncle Azhuo cares for me."

They entered the Yin Commander Mansion, and after a while, the Stone Rock Lady was brought up by a crowd of insects. Upon seeing Chen Shi, she quickly said, "I really am with your young master!"

Chen Shi looked at Azhuo, and Azhuo ordered the insects to untie her.

The Stone Rock Lady quickly darted into the small temple at the back of Chen Shi’s head and heaved a sigh of relief, complaining, "Envoy, they poisoned me and even whipped me with a whip!"

Chen Shi said, "I once warned you to absorb the White Bone Mountain slowly, but you wouldn’t listen, insisting that you were invincible. You deserved to be whipped."

The Stone Rock Lady said, "Wasn’t it you who let me absorb the South Sea White Bone Mountain to restore my strength?"

"Don’t talk!"

Chen Shi was terrified and stealthily glanced at the surrounding insects. Fortunately, the conversation took place inside the small temple, and the insects didn’t hear, otherwise he would have been punished for incitement, and a physical punishment would have been inevitable.

The Stone Rock Lady said, "Envoy, you are the nephew of the Yin Commander, the young master of this place. Could you speak to them and let me absorb the White Bone Mountain of the Southern Sea? It’s useless just sitting there anyway."

She temptingly said, "If my strength increases, then your strength increases. Missing a few White Bone Mountains is no big deal."

Chen Shi ignored her seduction.

The so-called "as if alive in death" meant that after one’s death, their daily necessities should remain as they were in life. Beneath the Southern Sea, the White Bone Mountain is made of the deceased’s skeletons.

The Stone Rock Lady absorbing the skeletons was as culpable as grave-robbing, taking the bones out of the grave and smashing them, a tremendous loss of yin virtue.

Chen Shi hadn’t known the rules of the underworld before, which is why he had indulged the Stone Rock Lady. But now that he did, he naturally would not allow her to do so.

But it had to be said that the Stone Rock Lady’s cultivation had indeed greatly improved. Seated on the shrine, Chen Shi could feel his True Qi surging, nearly boundless, his Nascent Soul refining and practicing more smoothly than ever!

His purpose in coming back with Azhuo this time was to retrieve the Stone Rock Lady. Thus, he bid farewell to Azhuo.

Azhuo escorted him out of the underworld, back to the Great South Lake, and said, "The hanging rock is a remnant from prehistoric times. Your grandfather and they once went to see it. There’s a Holy Temple on it. Since you’re here at the Great South Lake, why not go have a look?"

Chen Shi agreed and inquired, "Uncle Azhuo, what exactly is that remnant?"

Azhuo shook his head, "I don’t know. Your grandfather and I studied it for a long time and believed that there was something in the remnants that should have emerged from the earth, but it was sealed by someone during the True King Era. The Holy Temple on top is meant to suppress it. However, the Divine entities in the Holy Temple have long ceased to exist."

Chen Shi made a deep bow and bade him farewell.

Azhuo hesitated, then called out to him, "When I went to the underworld for the third time, I didn’t see you, but I still vividly remember the Supreme Ghost God who wrought great slaughter. After becoming the Yin Commander, I also saw him when he came to capture me."

Chen Shi was stunned, "To capture you?"

Azhuo nodded, "Fortunately, I’m a living Yin Commander, able to leave the underworld and return to the mortal world, escaping from his pursuit. But I’ve heard from the ghostly deities of the underworld that many big figures have disappeared in recent years. Also, when that Supreme Ghost God strikes to kill, his palm turns green."

Chen Shi’s heart thumped violently, feeling a dull pain in his chest.

In his heart, that green, vaguely grasping handprint over his heart seemed to be slowly tightening its grip.
