Chapter 601: Chapter 275: Subdue Them_2

A porter carefully asked, "Shall we still wait?"

"Wait!" Shen Hongniang clenched her teeth.

As such, they waited until the afternoon, all the people’s stomachs growling with hunger, yet Chen Shi had still not arrived.

More cows and sheep gave birth, led away by the shepherds, but the two pregnant women were still holding on.

"Could it be that Chen Shi isn’t coming to his duty today?" someone whispered.

Shen Hongniang laughed out of extreme anger, "We came here before dawn to wait for him, and now the sun is about to set and he still hasn’t arrived! Is Guangji Storehouse still the place where he earns his royal grain? What are the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment doing? What is the Eastern Factory doing? Are they allowing this beast to do whatever he wants?"

"Hall Master, what should we do now?" the porter asked.

Shen Hongniang replied rigidly, "Withdraw! Go back and rest! Be here on time tomorrow at the third watch!"

Everyone’s faces showed bitterness as they glanced at each other.

Several porters immediately lifted the sedan chair and headed toward the Western Capital.

Shen Hongniang’s eyes flickered, and she sneered, "You can avoid coming today, but can you avoid coming tomorrow? After all, this is the place where you serve!"

Chen Shi sat in a wooden cart, the cart creaking as it left the Western Capital heading for the solitary Death Valley.

Black Pot ran swiftly ahead of the wooden cart, Nannan riding on the dog’s back laughing non-stop.

This time, Chen Shi went to the Xinxiang Hall to inform Hu Feifei that he intended to take Nannan out; Hu Feifei initially planned to accompany them but was persuaded by him to stay.

He had not shut his eyes to sleep for a moment during these two days and nights, running from the Western Capital to Death Valley, from the underworld to High Mountain County, back to the Western Capital, and now he was about to make another trip to Death Valley, sitting in the cart feeling drowsy.

Suddenly, Chen Shi woke up, looking around, and thought to himself, "The place where we encountered the relic should be nearby!"

This was East Mountain, one of the three mountains surrounding the Western Capital; the wooden cart passed through the mountain’s postal road. The imposing mountains were visible but not the massive black iron pillars.

Chen Shi stopped the cart, summoned the Youlong Sword, and activated the Pure Yin Energy, splitting the Yin Yang Two Realms with a single stroke of the sword, and peered into the underworld.

His head appeared in the sky of the underworld, surveying the surroundings, and turned to see that gigantic pillar.

Chen Shi pulled his head back and looked behind him, but he saw nothing.

"How odd, truly odd!"

He tried several more times but it remained the same.

"A huge pillar exists in this spot in the underworld but not in the mortal world. Could it be that during the era of the relics, there was also the underworld?"

He didn’t have time to research in detail and continued driving the cart.

Upon arriving in solitary county, Nannan could not hold up and had already fallen asleep in the cart. Chen Shi did not head straight for Death Valley but stopped at an inn in the county town, booked a room, and placed the little girl in the bed.

As soon as Nannan got into the bed, she woke up, staring at him with big, round eyes.

"Big brother, Nannan is hungry," she said softly.

Chen Shi lifted her out of the bed, took her downstairs, and went to find food in the nighttime market of the solitary county.

Black Pot and the wooden cart followed behind, also having their fill.

The next day, Nannan woke up around the hour of Si, and Chen Shi did not wake her up early. Instead, he went to a secluded spot outside the town early in the morning and practiced the Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill for half an hour, then returned to the town, bought some Black Dog Blood and cinnabar, and retraced the talismans on the wooden cart and umbrella.

After Nannan woke up, Chen Shi took her to have breakfast, and she played around with Black Pot for a while before they set off for Death Valley.

At the hour of You, just as the private school was dismissing, many children burst out of the school in Wangyou Town of Death Valley, running joyously.

The private school teacher Yong Nan chased after them, shouting, "Don’t run too fast; you’ll fall! It’s getting dark, do not leave the town!"

Although he was ugly and tall, he had a very gentle nature and treated these children quite well.

Once the students had left, Yong Nan locked the door. A girl about eighteen or nineteen years old was waiting for him outside, her hair plaited in two braids hanging over her chest, glossy and black, and she smiled, saying, "Brother, guests have arrived at home; they’ve been waiting for you!"

"Guests?"

Yong Nan was surprised and followed his sister, Yong Xin’er, towards their home.

He was nineteen years old this year, the same age as his sister, and they were twins. Although his sister was fair and lovely, he was very ugly.

As sister Yong Xin’er grew up, suitors broke the thresholds to their door, many seeking her as a concubine for wealthy families, which angered him. He sent those marriage brokers away, beating some of them back, unaware of whom he had offended. None of the matchmakers came back since then.

Someone told him that he had driven away matchmakers from the Red Lady Society, having offended the society, and thus his sister would never marry.

Therefore, even though his sister was already nineteen, there were still no suitors for her.

Some time ago, a man named Zhuge Jian arrived; he was quite handsome, although a bit old.

He followed his sister home, only to see a wooden cart parked outside the door, with a black dog sitting in front of it, smiling at him.

Yong Nan raised his soaring eyebrows.

As they entered the house, they saw a young boy leading a little girl sitting in the courtyard, talking to his parents.

Upon his entry, the young boy and the little girl stood up and smiled, "Brother Yong Nan, you pursued me harshly last night."

Yong Nan’s gaze fell on the little girl next to him, and his expression immediately changed.

At that moment, two suns in the sky slowly converged, and the True God’s eyes emitted a fierce divine fire, covering tens of thousands of miles in the sky, forming a sea of fire high above, like red rosy clouds.

The Outer Heaven True God, with the eye on his forehead fully opened, transformed into a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Moonlight poured onto the land.

At the same time, the surroundings suddenly darkened and sank down, Wangyou Town vanished, and with ghost fires flickering around, they had arrived in the underworld!

Black and White Impermanence, two towering ghostly deities, stood behind Nannan and Chen Shi.

A Black Pot transformed into a gigantic dog, stepping on Demon Fire, just standing behind Yong Nan.

And Yong Nan himself turned into a taller red-clothed ghostly deity, deep in Demon Qi, accompanied by a powerful and extraordinary force.

He did not make a move, but instead looked in shock at what was behind Nannan.

Behind Nannan, in the sky of the underworld, hung a crescent moon.

A crescent completely different from the one formed by the vertical eye of the Outer Heaven True God in his forehead!

Zhong Kui looked at this crescent, his mind greatly shaken.

"Student Zhong Kui, greets the revered Azure Sky Grand Lord!" he knelt on one knee and went forward to pay his respects.

Nannan looked up, gazing at this immensely vast ghostly deity, her expression solemn, "This office is still in a child’s body, no need for such formality!"

She felt somewhat nervous, these words were taught by Chen Shi, she had been stammering and practicing them all the way, for fear if she couldn’t learn them, they wouldn’t take her out to play at night.

Zhong Kui rose to his feet and said, "We shouldn’t stay here long, for there may be ghostly deities lurking. If they discover the whereabouts of the Azure Sky Grand Lord, we won’t be able to escape! Let’s talk outside."

He waved his sleeve, and the three of them with the dog reappeared in the Yong Family’s courtyard.

Black and White Impermanence also vanished discreetly.

A moment later, Chen Shi and Zhong Kui stood on the stone bridge of the town, the water flowing beneath, as Nannan rode the Black Pot bustling around.

Chen Shi briefly explained how he had found Nannan, saying, "I heard that there were drastic changes in the underworld, and many ghostly deities are searching for the whereabouts of the Azure Sky Grand Lord. I am also very concerned about the Azure Sky Grand Lord’s safety, hence I took the liberty to visit, hoping you would come out of hiding and assist us."

"For the safety of the Azure Sky Grand Lord, duty compels me to help!" Zhong Kui declared.

Chen Shi asked, "Who is Tie Chi, are they also a Yin Officer from the underworld?"

"He is the Yin Commander Bull Head Rakshasa, who, like me, encountered assassination and had to reincarnate here."

Zhong Kui said, "When the two of us were born, we didn’t speak; even being spanked didn’t cause us to breathe our last, thankfully remembering who we were. However, constrained by the physical body, by day I am Yong Nan, with cultivation only in the Nascent Soul Realm, only at night can I manifest my True Body. Tie Chi is the same."

"That will be sufficient."

Chen Shi, all smiles, said, "I have another favor to ask of you, brother."

"What is it? Please speak freely."

The following night, as darkness fell and lights began to turn on, the Western Capital remained extremely bustling.

Boatmen and boat girls docked their pleasure boats at the dock on Qushang River, attracting customers. At that time, Chen Shi, accompanied by a red-clothed brawny man with a leopard-tattooed face, came onto the pleasure boat.

"Is it these two father and son we are to beat up?" the red-clothed brawny man asked.

The boat girl sensed trouble and quickly made eye contact with her father, signaling to make a quick getaway.

The boatman, not quite understanding, was still puzzled.

The boat girl immediately grabbed his hand, turned, and was about to flee; just then, with a thud, a colossal iron-tower-like brawny man jumped from the shore onto the deck, blocking their retreat.

That huge man’s muscled body was ferocious, his head bulging as if horns were about to sprout.

The boat girl’s complexion changed dramatically.

Chen Shi, smiling, said, "We must beat them until they agree to go save my mother. Then, I’ll trouble you two."

Zhong Kui walked towards the father and daughter.
