My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 797: Turmoil

“Why are you here?”

Shentu asked first, then scanned the surroundings, as if searching for traces of others.

When he saw the shattered Buddha Mountain and Cuiyun Palace, he was visibly shaken. “How could this happen?!”

Zhao Wenhao noticed Shentu’s expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. As he recounted recent events, he watched Shentu’s reaction.

“By Lord Zhou Qi’s order, I was supposed to capture the intruder and seek the assistance of Lord Ksitigarbha. But after arriving here, I encountered this unexpected situation. As for Lord Shentu, shouldn’t you be busy launching a war against the immortal monsters? How come you’re here?”

As he spoke, Zhao Wenhao glanced at Shentu’s right arm and noticed a slight tremor that indicated an injury. And if he remembered correctly, when the shadow fled earlier, he vaguely saw blood dripping from the shadow’s right arm.

Shentu noticed Zhao Wenhao’s gaze, subtly hiding his right hand at his side as he replied, “I was on my way to Negate Bridge. Upon hearing the commotion, I rushed here.”

Looking up at the shattered Cuiyun Palace inside Buddha Mountain, he saw the completely petrified Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Di Ting inside, and his expression became solemn.

“At such a critical time in the Netherworld, Lord Ksitigarbha was crucial. How could something like this happen? Did you see who attacked?” Shentu inquired.

Zhao Wenhao shook his head. “The figure was obscured by Netherworld Qi, making it impossible to see the face clearly. But one thing I am sure of is that the person has sided with those entities outside the boundary.”

Shentu’s voice was heavy as he said, “This matter is of great importance. I must report it to Lord Zhou Qi immediately. Furthermore, this series of events is likely caused by the intruder, and we must capture them as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenhao refrained from mentioning Qin Feng, as he currently didn’t trust him. He simply nodded slightly, indicating that he would capture the intruder as soon as possible.

Before long, the news of Cuiyun Palace’s destruction spread like wildfire, instantly igniting the entire Netherworld.

The petrification of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hung over everyone’s heads like a sharp blade.

It’s worth noting that among the forces in the Netherworld, the three most powerful figures are Zhou Qi, the Ghost Lord, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

During the invasion years ago, facing formidable enemies, these three played pivotal roles.

Yet, before the major battle even commenced, the Ghost Lord threw himself into the Boundary, leaving them lacking in manpower. And Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fell victim to an unknown assailant, resulting in complete petrification!

Meanwhile, speculation ran rampant among the people of the Netherworld.

“It must be the work of the intruder!”

“Indeed, shortly after their arrival in this realm, such a calamity struck Cuiyun Palace. Perhaps it’s one of their objectives!”

“They want to completely destroy the Netherworld!”

“We must find them and tear them limb from limb!”

On the other side, in the fractured valley, was the location of the sealed golden bowl.

Black Qi surged, ominous energy permeated, and heartbreaking screams echoed incessantly, sending chills down one’s spine.

Crack!

The sound of fine cracks reverberated as Zhou Qi, suspended in the air, looked expressionlessly at the monstrous creature continuously assaulting the barrier of the golden bowl.

The golden bowl was the treasure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and now that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was petrified, the power of the seal would naturally be affected.

Zhou Qi raised his left hand and pressed down slightly on the cracked valley. At that moment, a sound broke thourgh the air.

Turning toward the sound, he saw Shentu approaching to report on the situation in the Boundary.

“The formidable strength of the broken mortal realm far exceeds our imagination. Even with the Ghost Generals leading the charge, we are still at a stalemate. It seems that unless I take action, we won’t be able to successfully descend into the mortal realm,” Shentu reported.

Zhou Qi had expected this: “As one of the Three Realms, the mortal world has been able to survive for so long. It has its own foundation. Conquering it will not be easy.”

“When will Lord Zhou be able to take action?” Shentu asked.

“With the Ghost Lord currently in the barrier, I cannot leave this critical seal unattended at such a pivotal moment.”

“I understand,” Shentu nodded.

After a pause, Zhou Qi spoke again, “Have they found the intruder?”

Shentu shook his head. “Zhao Wenhao intended to seek Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s assistance to locate the intruder’s whereabouts, but unfortunately, he encountered the incident.”

Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes at this. “Was Zhao Wenhao also outside Buddha Mountain during the incident at Cuiyun Palace?”

“Yes, unfortunately, the enemy’s form was obscured by Black Qi, making it impossible for him to identify the true face. But considering the timing of the intruder’s arrival in this realm and the attack on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the suspicion falls heavily on the intruder. Now, the entire Netherworld is searching, and I believe it won’t be long before we find him.”

After a brief silence, Zhou Qi spoke again, “Even if we can’t find him, according to Zhang Heng’s words, the trespasser is the Ghost Emperor Qin’s son. If my speculation is correct, he will surely show up during the upcoming ordeal of the Netherworld.”

Shentu was slightly taken aback. “Venturing into the Netherworld alone is akin to seeking death. Even if he’s desperate to save his father, he wouldn’t be so reckless as to think he could snatch the Ghost Emperor Qin away under the eyes of numerous ghost generals and us, would he?”

“Human beings are always influenced by emotions in their judgments, and that’s the biggest gap between them and us,” Zhou Qi said expressionlessly.

“I understand,” Shentu replied, bowing respectfully before withdrawing.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qi once again looked at the sealed golden bowl, countless monsters reflecting in his deep eyes. It was unclear what he was thinking at that moment.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and his right arm, hidden beneath his wide sleeve, trembled uncontrollably.

A golden Buddha seal manifested from his sleeve, only to be quickly suppressed by the Black Qi.

“Damn old thing.”

After the upheaval in Cuiyun Palace, the entire Netherworld was restless. Qin Feng and his companions had long since concealed their presence and hidden in the shadows.

Listening to the discussions of the people of the Netherworld, they learned that all fingers were pointed at one person—Qin Feng!

“These guys are just talking nonsense. The fact that Lord Ksitigarbha was attacked has nothing to do with the young master! Young master, let me go and debate with them, I’ll clear your name!” Tubo argued passionately.

Qin Feng looked at him indifferently, directly seeing through his intentions. “You want to take this opportunity to leave and avoid danger?”

Tubo was momentarily speechless.

The situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and considering his own safety, it was only natural for him to want to protect himself. Unfortunately, Qin Feng saw through his thoughts with a single glance.

“Young master, you misunderstand me. How could I think like that?” Tubo tried to explain.

Ignoring Tubo, Qin Feng and Meng Shuang continued to evade the search of the ghost generals while moving forward.

Their destination was where Li Yang was!

They had to meet with him before the day of the punishment of hades.
