Feng Yunshu was already in a hurry. After all, time was limited. Moreover, the longer she stayed in this place, the more difficult it became for her to breathe. Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead.
Since she had been here once before and the overall layout hadn't changed, Feng Yunshu followed the path in her memory, turning left and right to avoid the ghost soldiers and little ghosts on the roadside. Finally, she saw the main hall of the Underworld where the King of Hell was located.
Just as Feng Yunshu was about to barge in, she was blocked by the ghost staffs in the hands of the Black and White Impermanence.
"Stop! Why is a mortal like you here?! Leave this place quickly, or you will surely suffer the cruel tortures of the Underworld!"
Looking at these two familiar faces, Feng Yunshu didn't bother to explain too much. She directly took out the demon - detecting mirror from her sleeve and waved it in front of them.
The mirror of the demon - detecting mirror immediately shot out a strong light, which was particularly eye - catching in the dim Underworld. It was extremely stimulating for the Black and White Impermanence who rarely came into contact with strong light.
The Black and White Impermanence quickly closed their eyes and took several steps back. After reacting, they looked at Feng Yunshu in shock, "You... You're Feng Yunxi?!"
"I didn't expect you two to still remember me. It saves me the trouble of explaining. Long time no see, you two. I'm not here to cause trouble in the Underworld today. I'm just here to look for someone. I hope you two can let me through."
"Fellow Daoist Yunxi, please go back. The Underworld doesn't welcome you. After the last incident, the King of Hell has already issued an order to ban you from entering!"
Feng Yunshu felt her body getting heavier and her body temperature dropping little by little. If this continued, she really wouldn't be able to leave here alive.
"I originally wanted to talk to you nicely, but since you insist on blocking me like this, don't blame me for being rude!"
With that, Feng Yunshu formed hand seals with both hands to release her spiritual power and shot out several spiritual lights at the Black and White Impermanence. The Black and White Impermanence immediately dodged and then picked up their staffs to fight back against Feng Yunshu.
Feng Yunshu quickly confronted the Black and White Impermanence. Soon, Ox - Head and Horse - Face rushed over with a group of ghost soldiers to support the Black and White Impermanence and joined the melee against Feng Yunshu.
Feng Yunshu's body was already damaged in this place. Moreover, there was no spiritual power for her to absorb here. The continuous consumption of spiritual power made Feng Yunshu gradually feel exhausted. She clearly felt the depletion of the spiritual power in her body.
"Feng Yunxi, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you don't leave this place quickly, we'll throw you into the eighteenth level of hell and never let you reincarnate!"
The Black and White Impermanence issued their final warning, but Feng Yunshu still insisted on resisting. The staffs in their hands merged to form a strong black light column, which shot towards Feng Yunshu's vital point.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yunshu realized that she couldn't dodge. She could only close her eyes tightly and use the last bit of spiritual power in her body to set up a barrier to resist.
Just then, the spiritual bead on her wrist emitted a strong light that helped her block the black light. Moreover, this strong light was directly reflected onto the Black and White Impermanence and others. After being hit by the strong light, the several people stepped back repeatedly and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
A trace of blood gradually oozed from the corner of Feng Yunshu's lips. Her face became paler. She raised her hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of her lips, frowned, put away the demon - detecting mirror, and rushed in quickly.
Not long after she stepped in, a deep and powerful voice sounded above Feng Yunshu's head, "Feng Yunxi, stop right now! I didn't expect you to dare to come and cause trouble again?!"
Hearing this voice, Feng Yunshu immediately stopped and looked up, "King of Hell, I know you're here. I really didn't come here to cause trouble or make problems today. I'm just here to look for someone! I just want to see whether he's dead or alive in the Book of Life and Death!"
"Are you really not here to cause trouble? Can I still believe your words? You said the same thing last time, and then... You almost caused a big hole in my Underworld!"
As he spoke, the King of Hell became more and more emotional and began to complain, "Do you know that after that incident, the higher - ups found out that there was a big problem in the Underworld and summoned this King of Hell to reflect on my mistakes. They directly deducted my salary for almost half a year. This has made this already hard - up King of Hell eat bran and vegetables for several months!"
Feng Yunshu couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing this, "King of Hell, come out first. Let's have a good talk. It was really me who made the matter worse back then. I admit that I'm responsible for it, but don't worry, I'll compensate you!"
"Are you serious about this?"
"Absolutely serious. Truer than pearls!"
Feng Yunshu immediately took out the purse she carried with her. There were still some silver notes in the purse. She took out the silver notes and waved them into the air.
"King of Hell, look. I'm doing okay in the mortal world now. I can at least be called a half - rich woman. I can give you a lot of silver to compensate for your losses. Or if you want incense, I can also find a way to get a lot for you!"
The King of Hell didn't say a word. The next second, a puff of smoke suddenly spurted out in front of Feng Yunshu. After the smoke dissipated, a figure of a not - very - tall child appeared on an office desk not far in front of Feng Yunshu.
"King of Hell, you're finally willing to show up."
Looking at the King of Hell, who looked like a child, wearing a slightly oversized official robe and a wobbly black coronet on his head, Feng Yunshu stepped forward a few steps.
People in the world all thought that the King of Hell was a ferocious old man. Few people had seen his true appearance. After seeing the King of Hell in person once, Feng Yunshu quickly understood why few people had seen the true appearance of the King of Hell.
Because the King of Hell didn't look as ferocious as the legend. Instead, he looked like a child of less than ten years old. This King of Hell who was less than ten years old still had a rather childish temper and often got so angry that he couldn't help scolding people.
"Feng Yunshu, can you really compensate this King?"
Feng Yunshu nodded, "I always keep my word. As long as you, King of Hell, can help me find someone, these are all small problems."
"Then..."
The King of Hell pouted, snorted, and then relented, "Well, seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, this King will trust you this once, but none of the compensations you mentioned just now can be missing! Especially the incense. The stronger the better. In today's world, there are almost no people offering incense to this King of Hell. It's really a decline in the social atmosphere..."
"Okay, okay, okay. No problem! I'll take care of this!"
After saying that, the King of Hell waved his wide sleeve. Soon, a thick booklet appeared on the table. There were three gilded characters on the cover of the booklet: "Book of Life and Death".
"The Book of Life and Death is here. Who are you looking for? Tell me the name."
"Helan Yanting. The person I'm looking for is Helan Yanting. He's a prince."
"Helan Yanting? Okay, I'll look for him."
With that, the King of Hell used his magic power. The Book of Life and Death on the table began to flip quickly. Feng Yunshu stared closely at the rapidly flipping Book of Life and Death, feeling extremely uneasy and clenching her fists tightly.
After the King of Hell finished flipping through the Book of Life and Death, he couldn't help frowning, "Hey, what's going on... It's really strange..."
"King of Hell, how's the situation? Have you found him? Is he alive or dead now?!"
Feng Yunshu was a little anxious and stepped forward a few steps to ask.
The King of Hell looked at Feng Yunshu in confusion, "Are you sure the person you're looking for is named Helan Yanting?"
Feng Yunshu nodded, "Yes, it's him. What's wrong?"
"Is he a mortal?"
