Chapter 795: The God of the Underworld Returns
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Emperor Wu You knelt on the ground, as humble as a slave. If the members of the Underworld saw this scene, they would have thought that they had gone mad and were hallucinating.
Shen Jing’s gaze was blank. Her figure slowly floated up, and a formless pressure spread out from her body. Just as the pressure appeared, however, it instantly disappeared without a trace. It was as though nothing had ever happened. Shen Jing closed her eyes, seemingly descending into a deep sleep.
Emperor Wu You raised both of his hands and used the power of his mind to slowly carry her before him. He did not dare to touch her body, and it seemed as though to do so would be blasphemy.
“Lord God of the Underworld, Wu You will now bring you back to the Underworld. The day you awaken will be the day the worlds change.”
Emperor Wu You’s eyes were full of emotion. He was the high and mighty Emperor Wu You of the Underworld, but right now, he was now like a gleeful child. After countless years of attempts at reincarnation, the God of the Underworld had finally returned.
The stars moved and the night sky that enveloped the courtyard silently disappeared as it became early morning. It was as though everything that had happened had just been an illusion. The rays of dawn shone over the entire courtyard.
However, Emperor Wu You and Shen Jing were nowhere to be seen. Only Qin Xiaoyou lay on the ground.
In the sky above, a light flashed and suddenly two silhouettes appeared. It was Mo Qingtian and Mo Wen who rushed here as quickly as possible. In a glance, Mo Wen took in the scene in the courtyard. His expression instantly became grim. A cold Qi exploded uncontrollably from his body.
“That confidante of yours must have been kidnapped by Emperor Wu You.”
Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen with a strange expression. Before this, after Mo Wen felt an ominous premonition, Mo Qingtian had quickly brought Mo Wen here. However, they were still one step too late. They did not even manage to catch a glimpse of Emperor Wu You’s shadow.
The dignified Emperor Wu You, one of the most honorable figures in the Underworld, had actually plotted meticulously to infiltrate the Source World simply in order to kidnap a mortal woman. This seemed extremely strange. They were talking about Emperor Wu You, not just some random small fry. Why would he need to come personally just to kidnap and ordinary woman? The ulterior motive behind his actions would most likely be extraordinary.
“Mo Wen, is there anything extraordinary about this confidante of yours?” Mo Qingtian could not help but ask.
Mo Wen’s expression was unstable. Shen Jing indeed had many extraordinary qualities; however, he naturally would not share this with others. Recalling Shen Jing’s ominous premonition, he finally understood where it had come from. He had simply never imagined that the incident would involve Emperor Wu You of the Underworld!
Seeing Mo Wen remain silent, Mo Qingtian knew not to pry further. However, this was no small matter. The level of involvement was very large; most likely the Spirit Realm would come out and inquire about it.
Mo Wen flew into the courtyard and held Qin Xiaoyou in his arms. After inspecting her body and discovering that she had just fainted, his expression relaxed slightly. He pressed his finger at the bottom of her neck. Qin Xiaoyou cried out softly. Her eyelids trembled and slowly opened.
“Xiaoyou, are you alright?” Mo Wen asked anxiously as he held the girl in his embrace.
Qin Xiaoyou shook her drowsy head. Why had she suddenly fallen asleep, and why was she still so tired?
However, seeing that Mo Wen had returned, Qin Xiaoyou’s heart instantly brightened up. “Mo Wen, you are back? Sister Shen Jing was just talking about you.” She hugged Mo Wen’s waist happily.
Cough! Cough!
Mo Qingtian stood behind Mo Wen, coughing twice to alert them to his presence. Qin Xiaoyou suddenly noticed that someone else was in the courtyard. Her face instantly turned as pink as a peach blossom. She hurriedly let go of Mo Wen, a look of embarrassment filling her eyes.
“Did you see anything just now?” Mo Wen asked softly.
“Just now?” Qin Xiaoyou blinked as she tilted her head and thought carefully. Her eyes suddenly opened wide. “That’s right. Before this, I was talking with Sister Shen Jing. Then, suddenly the sky turned dark and a silhouette dressed in white approached us from the starry sky. After that, I fell asleep. Maybe I was hallucinating. By the way, where is Sister Shen Jing?”
Qin Xiaoyou had just noticed that Shen Jing was not in the courtyard. Wasn’t she waiting for Mo Wen to return like a wife waiting for her husband to return from war? How was it that Mo Wen had returned and she had disappeared?
“Shen Jing… she’s gone missing.” Mo Wen took a deep breath. He did not know how to explain it to Qin Xiaoyou.
“Missing!” Qin Xiaoyou’s eyes were wide open. How could someone that she had just been talking to go missing in the blink of an eye? She did not believe it. She searched the courtyard but could not find Shen Jing.
“What’s going on? Why has Sister Shen Jing gone missing?” Qin Xiaoyou asked anxiously. She suddenly felt that something was badly wrong.
“I will explain later. Right now, I have matters to attend to, and I must leave immediately.”
Mo Wen knew that if Emperor Wu You had intentionally made the trip just to kidnap Shen Jing, he would certainly return to the Underworld from the passageway in the cleft space. Right now, he had to rush straight back there. Maybe he could still intercept them.
“Mo Wen, Sister Shen Jing asked me to tell you this. She said that she loves you. The Hope Diamond represents your love. If you also love her, no matter what challenges you may face, please don’t let her go, please don’t…”
Qin Xiaoyou suddenly felt that Sister Shen Jing’s earlier words may have been for a particular reason and not just happenstance.
Mo Wen’s figure shook. He looked intently at the sky and flew up without a word, rushing towards the cleft space together with Mo Qingtian.
Mo Qingtian’s cultivation was unfathomable. With him bringing Mo Wen along, they reached the Taihang Mountains in a short while.
….
Mo Qingge still remained guarding the cleft space. The black hole passageway that linked the two realms still floated in the air. Initially, she was concerned as to whether other major powers of the Underworld would cross over. But after nothing happened for a long while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a short while, a white silhouette flashed and appeared once again in the space. It was none other than Emperor Wu You. However, he was no longer alone. He held a beautiful woman who was fast asleep in his arms.
The returning Emperor Wu You did not even look at Mo Qingge, directly walking towards the black hole passageway.
“Emperor Wu You, please wait.” An immaculate white light flashed, and Mo Qingge appeared in front of Emperor Wu You.
“You sure have some guts. What is it?” Emperor Wu You lifted his gaze and glanced at Mo Qingge. Today he was in a good mood. At any other time, if anyone suddenly blocked his path, they would most likely have been sent to Hell instantly.
“Why are you kidnapping a woman of our Source World? The Millenium Treaty is still in effect. Aren’t you pushing your luck by doing this?” Mo Qingge said with a stern expression.
Emperor Wu You had come all this way to the Source World just to kidnap a woman. She immediately felt that something was unusual about it. How could she let him do as he pleased? Matters related to Emperor Wu You needed to be dealt with caution.
She had also recognized the woman. It was none other than Teacher Shen Jing who had an ambiguous relationship with Mo Wen? Emperor Wu You had traversed countless dimensions to come to the Source World so he could kidnap an ordinary university lecturer?
“The Millenium Treaty is a piece of scrap paper to me. If you keep on rambling, don’t blame me for being merciless.” Although Emperor Wu You’s mood wasn’t bad, he wouldn’t tolerate this nameless junior’s intrusion. An unparalleled aura exploded from his body, and Mo Qingge was sent flying thousands of meters away.
Endless majestic aura enveloped the entire world, causing the cleft space to constantly twist and deform. Such Compulsion was practically the will of Heaven and Earth, and of an inviolable supreme master.
Then, the next moment, the entire cleft space suddenly shook. Beams of crimson light were released, covering the area. Next, a pure killing spirit enveloped the heavens and the earth, actually suppressing Emperor Wu You’s aura.
The source of the red light was none other than Mo Qingge. Her appearance had undergone an astonishing change. Her black hair had become crimson and had grown to be a few hundred meters long. Her white clothes also seemed to be dyed with blood and were red as though they were ablaze.
Mo Qingge’s pupils were like the most brilliant rubies as they released waves of killing intent that could freeze the space.
Right now, Mo Qingge did not appear as though she was an immaculate immortal that had attained spirituality. She was more like an absolute demoness.
“Huh? It is actually the legendary Massacre Demonic Body!” Emperor Wu You’s figure stopped for a moment. He looked at Mo Qingge with a look of astonishment. There were few things in this world that could surprise him. The Massacre Demonic Body was one of them.
“So you are that woman from the Spirit Realm that had the Massacre Demonic Body. They actually dared to let you loose in the Source World! They sure have guts.”
The look that Emperor Wu You gave Mo Qingge was much more serious. He no longer ignored her as though she was an ant.
“Drop the maiden.” Mo Qingge’s voice was exceptionally cold. It was as though with every word that she said, countless warriors were slaughtering each other on a bloody battlefield. A murderous intent filled the air.
Step by step, she walked up to the black hole passageway. With every step she took, the space contorted slightly, once again blocking Emperor Wu You.
“If this Massacre Demonic Body of yours was in the Devil Kingdom, maybe you could still be saved. But since it has appeared in the Spirit Realm, it will be the source of catastrophe. It is unbelievable that the old blokes of the Spirit Realm actually let you live until now.”
Emperor Wu You sized Mo Qingge up curiously, ignoring her threat completely.
Crimson light flashed and a crimson claw pounced at Emperor Wu You. The crimson claw seemed normal, but it was as though it was from Hell. Peerless killing intent shot to the sky.
“You overestimate your own strength!” Emperor Wu You coldly snorted. Night descended in an instant. Countless stars flickered. The crimson claw that pounced towards him was silently shattered and dissipated. He pointed his finger forward and once again sent Mo Qingge flying away. “Your skill is still too low. If it was a developed Massacre Demonic Body, I would be somewhat cautious. But you are still lacking.”
Emperor Wu You did not even look at Mo Qingge. He took a step forward and, carrying Shen Jing, instantly disappeared into the black hole passageway.
Mo Qingge crumbled to the ground. Her face was pale like paper. A streak of bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth down to her neck, evil and beautiful.
