Chapter 522: Chapter 245 The Lord Made a Big Blunder_2

These lands, bearing mountains and rivers, despite being permeated with a grim spectral aura, still exhibited their magnificence!

The Governor of Wuwang had not expected such a change, feeling both shocked and delighted. Suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression changed abruptly.

"Not good!"

He swiftly took off, riding the yin winds and disappearing into the underworld.

Chen Shi looked and saw that on each of the spectacular and magnificent underworld continents, towering gods with towering physiques stood firm, their eyes shooting flames, lightning, and dark light, scanning all around!

There were also gods soaring into the sky, their bodies vast and sinewy, stepping on the Yellow Springs or striding atop gigantic white bone dragons, or riding clouds and mists, searching in all directions.

There were also chains, carrying rolling ghostly auras, shuttling through the underworld, suddenly transforming into black pythons that soared to the heavens and burrowed into the ground.

These underworld gods must have been awakened by the disturbance of the shards of Tongue-pulling Hell and come to search for the person who caused the disturbance.

"The Governor of Wuwang has really stirred up trouble!"

Chen Shi was filled with doubt and concern as the underworld gods searched in their direction. Not so long ago, the area where the Governor of Wuwang had tested the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen was right here; the portal to the underworld opened by the pen had still not closed.

Chen Shi’s complexion changed drastically, and as he saw the gods approaching, suddenly a large brush flew towards him. Its tip seemed to be dipped in dense ink, drawing a large circle in midair, separating the Yin Yang Two Realms!

"The True King, I will hide for a few days!" The distant voice of the Governor of Wuwang could be heard.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "At least you have some conscience."

"Those gods must be going after the Governor of Wuwang. Why would they want to kill him?"

Chen Shi fell into contemplation. The Governor of Wuwang was someone who had lived for more than 1,400 years and came from the mortal world. Holding a pen that belonged to an underworld judge, it was right to take it back.

However, according to Azuo’s description, a great upheaval must have occurred in the underworld. Many underworld gods were killed, hanging suspended in the air, and the Tongue-pulling Hell was shattered, so the origin of the gods chasing the Governor of Wuwang was now dubious.

As night fell, Chen Shi arrived at the valley where Wuwang City used to be, but when the moon rose, the other end of the broken bridge did not reveal Wuwang.

He waited the entire night, but Wuwang City never appeared.

"Wuwang City has disappeared, and the Governor of Wuwang is nowhere to be seen."

Chen Shi frowned slightly, feeling an uneasy premonition. The number of gods chasing the Governor of Wuwang was large, and their strength formidable. It was unknown whether he could escape.

"Is the mere restoration of the Judge’s Pen causing such a commotion? Why are these gods so relentless in their pursuit of the pen?"

Chen Shi suddenly thought that if a Judge’s Pen could lead to so much pursuit, what would happen if the gods were chasing the Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique?

He shuddered at the thought, aware that if the Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique were involved, the pursuing gods would likely blot out the sky!

For several days in a row, Chen Shi saw no sign of Wuwang City, the Ghost City having seemingly evaporated overnight, and the Governor of Wuwang had not reappeared, his fate unknown.

Chen Shi visited the True King’s Tomb, copied the Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique, synthesized the cultivation technique after a few days, and then drove to the Hu Family’s mansion outside Oilseed Village.

Many Hu Family girls were up early, chirping and dancing. Seeing him arrive, they asked, "Master Jie Yuan, are you looking for the Clan Leader? She’s still asleep."

Chen Shi said, "I’m looking for Feifei. Where is she?"

They led Chen Shi to the outside of a room, giggling, "Feifei is still asleep. Master Jie Yuan, do you want me to wake her for you?"

"It’s not necessary to trouble you, sister. I’ll do it myself."

Chen Shi hurriedly barged in, and from the bed, he pulled out one head, recognized it to be Hu Feifei, stuffed it back in, and then pulled out another, which turned out to be Nannan, and felt relieved.

Hu Feifei, groggy, opened her eyes and, seeing him, exclaimed in shock, "Why are you here? Get out quickly! By intruding into my boudoir, the other fox ladies will tease me!"

Chen Shi tucked the still drowsy Nannan back into her bed, saying, "Get up, I have something to tell you."

Hu Feifei threw off the quilt, patted the space next to her, and said with a half-smile, "Just say it here. Do you want to come in? It’s warm inside."

Giggles from the fox ladies came from outside, hiding just beneath the window, playfully pushing and teasing each other.

Hu Feifei blushed, stood up with the quilt wrapped around her, and pushed open the window to scold, "What are you eavesdropping in the corner for? We’re all sisters here, be more open, come into my room to listen! I am pure and honest, I’m not afraid of you listening!"

The fox ladies dispersed with laughter, and someone teased from afar, "Do you want to come in?"

Another fox girl chipped in, "Is it warm inside?"

"Hee hee, where’s it warm?" she teased. "Tell me more."

"I’ll feel it and see if it’s warm."

Hu Feifei’s face turned red, and she stopped pretending to sleep, chasing Chen Shi out of the room.

She and Nannan got dressed and washed up before coming out to see Chen Shi.

Chen Shi recounted his observations at the Great Southern Lake and the situation with the Wuwang City Governor being chased by ghosts and deities of the underworld, saying, "Nannan is a high-ranking official of the Heavenly Court. If she’s found, I fear she will be in even greater danger."

Hu Feifei turned somber, "Where is the Wuwang City Governor now?"

Chen Shi answered, "Still on the run. I suspect he’s fled with Wuwang City, which has also vanished. Has Nannan been acting normally these days?"

Hu Feifei replied, "As normal as any normal little girl."

Chen Shi pondered, "The high-ranking official was forced out of the underworld and had to reincarnate in the mortal world. How can we restore Nannan’s memories as the official?"

Hu Feifei said, "We don’t know how to restore the official’s memories, but Black and White Impermanence do. They will only show up if Nannan is in danger, so maybe we should put her in danger."

Chen Shi shook his head, "We might end up getting beaten to death by those two."

He thought of Stone Rock Lady, who had been beaten into submission, and felt a shiver of fear.

Hu Feifei suggested, "Let the Clan Leader threaten Nannan. He’s very powerful."

Chen Shi shook his head again, "You mustn’t involve Uncle Hu. He’ll get beaten to death... I have to leave right away, so don’t do anything rash."

Hu Feifei looked reluctant, "You just got back and now you’re leaving again? Nannan misses you."

"There’s been some trouble on Li Tianqing’s side."

Chen Shi explained, "I’ve already delayed for a few days. I don’t know if he’s in trouble. Here, take these two ginseng grass fruits and give them to Uncle Hu."

He left behind two ginseng grass fruits and hurriedly departed from the Hu Family courtyard.

Outside the Hu Family courtyard, a boatman leaned on his bamboo pole, standing across the street.

Chen Shi only felt at ease when he saw the boatman and gave him a slight bow.

The boatman looked at him and revealed a meaningful smile.

Chen Shi felt a chill at the base of his spine from the boatman’s smile and took a carriage to the true form of Granny Zhuang, where he requested her to leave the small temple.

Granny Zhuang was somewhat reluctant.

Upon arriving at Xuan Shan, Chen Shi contemplated taking action against Great Snake Xuan Shan, but after a moment’s hesitation, he did not dare and thus abandoned the idea of kidnapping Xuan Shan for the Divine Embryo, heading straight for Qingzhou.

"Granny Zhuang’s cultivation has improved a lot!"

Great Snake Xuan Shan was also surprised when he saw Granny Zhuang again.

Granny Zhuang, quite pleased with herself, recounted how Chen Shi had captured her to serve as the Divine Embryo and said, "I benefited greatly from being on his temple shrine. As a result, my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, even purifying the accumulated evil energy within me over time, so I no longer have to worry about turning into an Evil Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Great Snake Xuan Shan congratulated her, but a tinge of sourness crept into his heart, "I’ve been good to Little Ten and was even friends with his grandfather. Why didn’t he come to capture me? Is he closer to Granny Zhuang than to me?"

In the Emperor Guan Temple in Qingzhou, Li Tianqing was awoken in the middle of the night by a sudden, inexplicable killing intent. Without a moment’s thought, he rolled out of bed.

"Clang—"

A bright flash of blade light streaked through the temple, and abruptly, a bloody streak appeared on the wall where he had been sleeping!

Then, a huge head tumbled down from the wall, blood gushing out.

Li Tianqing’s eyes widened as he activated his Heavenly Eye Talisman to scan the surroundings. He didn’t dare to sleep again for the rest of the night and anxiously thought to himself, "Why hasn’t Little Ten arrived yet? I feel like I’m being watched by some unclean things!"

He felt that it was not the God of Wealth in the temple who was harming him, but protecting him!
