Chapter 800 - 724: Can You Go to the Underworld?

Li Yanyan’s eyes widened in disbelief at his words.

"Mas...Master!"

She softly called out to the National Master.

But the National Master offered her no gentleness. He only said, "You’d better remember what I, your Master, told you today. If you can get on good terms with the Eldest Princess, then you should get closer to her. If you are not on good terms with her, then stay away from her! But if you dare to utter another ignorant word about her, like calling her a ’jinx,’ ’reincarnation of misfortune,’ or ’disaster star,’ then just wait for your Dao path in this lifetime to be utterly destroyed!"

The National Master’s words made Li Yanyan’s eyes widen in disbelief. She was stunned for a long moment, unable to process what she had heard.

"Did you hear what I, your Master, said?"

Seeing her unresponsive for a long time, looking completely stunned, the National Master grew annoyed and sternly demanded.

Li Yanyan shuddered and quickly replied, "I... I understand!"

The National Master walked out of his room. The kitchen staff were cheerfully enjoying their meal, and Xiaosuisui was patting her belly, which was round like a small leather ball, and giggling merrily.

"After eating so much, won’t you get a stomachache?" Xie Pan’Er asked with some concern, looking at her round little belly.

"Nope! I have a little snack that helps with digestion. If I feel unwell, I’ll just eat one, and I’ll be fine."

Xiaosuisui giggled, her smile incredibly endearing.

The sight of her smile left the National Master feeling utterly helpless.

He had missed the opportunity to take her as his disciple, and now, that chance would never come again! Sigh! What a pity!

His heart ached with such regret that he couldn’t even stomach his food. Dejected, he went to find a tree, leaned against it, and took his first gulp of sorrow-drowning wine since descending the mountain.

No one, including Xiaosuisui and the others, noticed the National Master’s despair. Xiaosuisui was the first to head towards the Soul-Calling Bell. She formed a hand seal, and when her spiritual power touched the bell, a young face suddenly appeared on it.

"Celestial Daozi! You’ve finally appeared!"

Seeing the young face appear on the Soul-Calling Bell, everyone was stunned.

"Is... is this the Xunyang who has lived for three thousand years?"

Dugu Xia stuttered, pointing at the face on the Soul-Calling Bell, utterly incredulous.

Everyone was absolutely flabbergasted.

Xiaosuisui blinked at the face on the Soul-Calling Bell and said, "You’re so handsome!"

The expression of the person on the Soul-Calling Bell darkened.

"You’re inside my Suisui’s Divine Artifact right now, yet you dare to glare at my Suisui!"

Seeing Xunyang’s dark expression, Ji Youzhi seethed with anger. He stomped his foot, wanting to rush up and give Xunyang a couple of slaps!

However, at this moment, he was no different from a mortal and couldn’t get even a hair’s breadth closer to the Soul-Calling Bell!

"Hmph! Spare me your nonsense. I’ve fallen into your hands, so do with me as you please! Make your decision quickly!"

"Oh! To hear you talk, you sound so enlightened. If you wanted to die so badly, why didn’t you slit your own throat when Ancestor Zhou sealed you?" Ji Youzhi taunted.

"Ancestor Zhou..." Xunyang muttered. The face materialized on the Soul-Calling Bell suddenly contorted with anger.

"Ancestor Zhou! That bastard! Damn her! That old hag repeatedly ruined my plans! Just see if I don’t flay her alive! I’ll make her taste what it’s like to be sealed for thousands of years! No! Not just thousands! Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years! I’ll imprison her for lifetime after lifetime!"

At the mere mention of Ancestor Zhou by Ji Youzhi, Xunyang completely lost his mind. His madness was beyond anything anyone could have anticipated.

"Enough already! Look at the state you’re in, a complete madman, and you still want to seal Ancestor Zhou? She’s been dead for thousands of years. By now, she’s probably reincarnated many times. Even if she hasn’t, she’s definitely in the Underworld. Are you planning to go to the Underworld to seal her?"

Ji Youzhi casually plucked a foxtail grass and stuck it in his mouth.

This world-wrecking archfiend, right in front of me but impossible to fight! How infuriating!

"The Underworld... Ancestor Zhou... that old hag is in the Underworld... I have to find her! I must avenge the sealing from all those years ago! AARGH..."

Xunyang’s face suddenly contorted, his hands clutching his head tightly, clearly in unbearable pain.

Xiaosuisui stood where she was, blinked, and asked, "Do you really want to go to the Underworld?"

Xunyang’s mind was muddled; he was completely agitated by Ji Youzhi’s mention of Ancestor Zhou. So, when Xiaosuisui asked her question, he answered without thinking, "That damned hag Ancestor Zhou ruined my plans and sealed me in the Witch God Hall! I will make her pay the price! Even if she’s truly in the Underworld, I’ll hunt her down and settle the score!"
