2347 No Way Up to the Sky, No Way Down to the Earth
Lately, Song Shuhang had been feeling rather confident. He knew he wasnât everyoneâs favorite, and he had a history of pranking the Immortal Lord numerous times. Now, the Immortal Lord was eagerly offering his help?
That would not happen unless the Immortal Lord had a peculiar taste for masochism and enjoyed being mistreated over and over while treating others like his first love. Otherwise, there was no logical reason for him to help Song Shuhang.
âThank you for your offer, Senior, but I donât require assistance at the moment. I believe I can manage on my own,â Song Shuhang politely replied. He refrained from using the Retaliation Spell against the Immortal Lord directly. His desire to survive had surged recently, probably due to the lack of a reliable âresurrection formation.â
Although Senior White Two had set up a resurrection array for him, it came with a catch â upon resurrection, he would become a demon of the Netherworld and bid farewell to his current life.
âYour kindness is appreciated, Senior Immortal, but itâs not necessary. We Chinese believe in helping others without seeking recognition. Doing good deeds is the essence of happiness, and you donât need to thank me,â Song Shuhang replied promptly. He then shifted his focus back to portraying the role of of a beaten-up Shuhang who seemed utterly tormented by a strand of hair.
The more pained he appeared, the less angry Pavilion Master Chu would be.
Once Pavilion Master Chuâs anger subsided, he would regain his playful spirit.
Just as Song Shuhang immersed himself in his act, the cultivation chat-virus warning function on his body sent him an alert.
The new function added by Lady Long Luo reminded him that someone was using a long-range locking magical technique to divine his location or possibly launch a long-distance mental attack on him.
The likely culprit? The Immortal Lord.
Given the temporary breakdown of the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball and the absorption of its remains by the fat ball, it seemed unlikely that the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball was responsible this time.
Song Shuhang quickly messaged Senior Demon Emperor.
Their communication had always been straightforward.
âAre you there?â Song Shuhang inquired.
On the other end, the Demon Emperor had just left a comment on Lady Onionâs Moments: âFairy, do you have any more photos of Tyrannical Song in torment? Letâs chat privately.â
In response to the Demon Emperorâs message, he received a swift private message.
Initially, he thought Lady Onion was being selfish.
However, upon opening the private chat, he discovered that it was Song Shuhang, the âloserâ currently hanging by a thread.
Hence, it wasnât just the Demon Emperor who replied with a wry âHehe.â
Song Shuhang nodded in satisfaction.
As long as Senior More than One replied, he had established a short communication channel with Senior More than One.
Soon after, the Demon Emperor responded, âA spiritual scan? Trying to set me up? Are you luring the ruler of the Netherworld to me? Dream on!â
It wasnât just the Demon Emperor who confidently rejected the spiritual scan. Despite his serious injuries, most of the damage was physical, and his spiritual power had mostly recovered. In terms of mental attacks, he was fearless.
Song Shuhang, hanging in a state of torment, played his part.
Senior was extremely cooperative.
Pavilion Master Chu rolled his eyes in disgust. Song Shuhang was on the verge of drooling, and she feared his saliva might land on her precious hair.
She contemplated whether she should release Song Shuhang.

Meanwhile, Lady Onion was checking the messages on her WeChat Moments.
[Golden Dragon Scarf] The white dragon said, âLittle Sixteen and I were only gone for a few days. What have you guys been up to?â
[Bad Friend] Heavenly Emperor: âSenior Song, after your death anniversary comes out, please tell me the date of your death in your dream~â
After reading a few messages, she swiftly came across the Demon Emperorâs reply.
The Demon Emperor not only asked her to chat privately but also seemed to be hinting at a transaction?
Was she about to rely on secret deals with powerful individuals to ascend to the pinnacle of onion life?
âShould I respond to the Demon Emperor alone, or should I reply to others as well?â Lady Onion pondered.
Just then, a new reply appeared on her Moments.
[Pet Owner (crossed out): Best Friend] Senior White Two: âShuhang, donât let your guard down while escaping. Donât forget that the fat ball is the ruler of the Netherworld.â
Shuhang, Ruler White mentioned that you shouldnât forget that the fat ball is the ruler of the Netherworld. Though I donât know what that means, I thought I should convey the message to you.â Lady Onion chimed in.
âArgh, arghâ Song Shuhang called out a few times but found himself unable to speak. He had to use a secret sound transmission method to communicate, âWeâve never forgotten that heâs the ruler of the Netherworld. Even if itâs just a clone, we treat it as the real deal.â
âIdiot, what my master meant was that the title âruler of the Netherworldâ not only represents the fat ball himself but also his authority,â the hamster explained.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
The authority of the ruler of the Netherworld meant that all the demons of the Netherworld were effectively under the fat ballâs control.
Would the fat ball boss summon his minions to pummel him?
As this thought crossed his mind, the shuttle abruptly came to a halt.
In front of the immortal shuttle, several spatial gates opened.
The fat ballâs clone arrived with six Ninth Stage demons.
âTyrannical Song.â the chill in the fat ballâs voice sent shivers down the spine.
The fat ball had used divination techniques to calculate Song Shuhangâs direction and effectively blocked his path.
The ruler of the Netherworld had personally divined, and his accuracy was terrifyingly high.
âShuhang, it seems you wonât be able to escape the fat ballâs grasp for the rest of your life unless you master a magical technique or magical treasure that can conceal your actions,â the Heart Demon Redcloud Sword warned.
Song Shuhang gritted his teeth. âLetâs go. Weâll enter the Inner World before itâs too late.â
