Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 681 The Concerns of Penglai Immortal Island and the Buddhist Kingdom! The Blame-Shifting Behavior of the Underworld and the Heavenly Realm!
"Little White, what do you mean by this?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was increasingly confused.

Xia Dongqing exclaimed in surprise, "The rabbit... the rabbit talked?"

Unfortunately, at this point, no one was in the mood to comfort him.

"Ya." The rabbit leaped out of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's arms and instantly transformed into a man dressed in a white fur coat.

"I came here specifically to see you. Someone broke the rules and alarmed the Lord of Mount Tai."

Even in the eyes of Hades Acha and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, the Lord of Mount Tai was still an extremely mysterious ancient god.

Even the King of the Underworld, Acha, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, at most knew of the existence of the Lord of Mount Tai, but had never truly come into contact with such an ancient god.

"That can't be right, can it?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden subconsciously looked at Xia Dongqing.

On the television screen, Hades Acha sneered, "What a clever scheme to turn the tables! Who exactly has alarmed Lord Taishan? We in the Underworld will not let this go."

The Jade Rabbit looked at Hades Acha on the television screen and said, "Your Majesty Hades, you don't need to deny it. Kunlun has already obtained solid evidence that the guy who alarmed the Lord of Mount Tai has the power of a human demon. I think no one understands this better than you. Do you still want to deny it and continue to cry wolf?"

"Wait a minute." As if realizing something, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "You mean, the power of a demon has alarmed the Lord of Mount Tai?"

“That’s right, otherwise I wouldn’t have personally left Kunlun to come and inform you of this news,” the Jade Rabbit said.

"Then..." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What does Kunlun mean?"

“Of course, it’s about ending all of this.” Jade Rabbit said matter-of-factly, “Ya, you didn’t finish the job back then, leaving Xia Dongqing behind. He’s a problem now. You should just get rid of him so we can go back to Kunlun. What do you think?”

After a slight pause, the Jade Rabbit took out something that looked like a ribbon and said, "I even brought your feather robe. Wearing the feather robe, you will be the God of War of Kunlun. Killing Xia Dongqing will be as easy as you killed his whole family back then. Then we can go back to Kunlun together."

"What...what are you talking about?" Xia Dongqing also realized something was wrong at this moment.

What does it mean to say that it was like killing one's whole family back then?
In Xia Dongqing's memory, all he could remember was that his whole family was in a car accident, and that his parents and sister all died except for himself.

Because of Zhao Li, he gave his sister's eyes to him, which restored his sight.

But now, the rabbit's words are clearly telling him that the car accident he remembered back then was not an accident at all, and that the person who killed his whole family was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"What did you say?" Jade Rabbit said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm talking about solving this problem of yours. Have you forgotten everything? Didn't you see the lightning in the sky during that so-called car accident back then?"

In an instant, Xia Dongqing's eyes reddened.

"Xiaoya, say something."

Wang Xiaoya felt quite guilty at this moment.

Just as a tragic drama was about to unfold here...

The voice of Hades Acha came from the television.

"Zhao Li, I, in my capacity as the King of the Underworld, command you: if Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm dares to lay a hand on Xia Dongqing, protect Xia Dongqing at all costs."

We know we must act decisively now.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden took a deep breath and said, "Dongqing, listen to me first. The most important thing now is to clear up the misunderstanding. I will give you an explanation later."

"An explanation? What's there to explain?" Xia Dongqing was in tears.

He never imagined that the person who would cause him a lifetime of misery would be the woman he loved.

Unfortunately, Xia Dongqing is still unaware that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden only caused the tragic deaths of his entire family, leaving him an orphan. The one who truly caused his lifelong misery was Zhao Li, who was standing right beside him.

I don't have time to explain for Xia Dongqing right now.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "Little White, be quiet for now and don't speak."

After restraining the Jade Rabbit, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said to Hades Acha, "Your Majesty Hades, I roughly understand what happened, but... have you forgotten? Before, someone obtained the power of the human demon. I can guarantee that during this time, Dongqing has not experienced any accidents. It was definitely not him who truly alarmed Lord Taishan."

“Ahem…” Zhao Li coughed lightly and finally spoke for the first time: “My lord Acha, I can assure you that it is definitely not Dongqing’s problem. Moreover… Moreover, that guy escaped to this world a hundred years ago. I and Sister Bai even met him, but at that time, I did not know what happened later. He changed some things in the past.”

In fact, both the underworld and the celestial Kunlun knew of the existence of Luofu.

Unfortunately, Luofu hid too decisively.

The world inside the bottle appeared directly a hundred years ago, during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China period. When it returned to this point in time, it decisively took Su Yue and his wife and Zhou Jie with it and sailed east to an island nation.

Island nations are extraordinary entities, like lawless havens.

There are too many people gathered here, including those from the University of Tokyo.

Luo Fu was indeed in his element here, but finding him became troublesome, whether in the Heavenly Realm of Kunlun or the Underworld.

More importantly, the matter that alarmed the Lord of Mount Tai is absolutely not to be underestimated.

Whether it's the celestial realm of Kunlun or the underworld, an explanation must be given.

Even if they knew of Luo Fu's existence, they could only pin the blame on Chi You's remnant soul if they couldn't find him.

Whether it's the Jade Rabbit sent by Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm, carrying a feathered robe to find the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, or the Underworld King Acha appearing on television, they are all essentially shifting blame.

The purpose of Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm is easy to understand: to pin the blame on the remnant soul of Chi You, or rather, Xia Dongqing.

Hades Acha, on the other hand, shifted the blame to Kunlun.

Who could blame Xia Dongqing for having only Zhao Li, the underworld messenger, and Jiutian Xuannv, the goddess of war from Kunlun in the celestial realm, as the only ones currently guarding him?
More importantly, the deception of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden played a significant role in Chi You's defeat back then.

That is, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was unaware of the intricacies involved and still wanted to explain.

But whether it's the Heavenly Realm or the Underworld, what's needed isn't an explanation, but someone to take responsibility and shoulder the blame.

With a cold laugh, Hades Acha on the television said, "Zhao Li, then tell me, where is that guy now?"

“Ah, this…” Zhao Li was stunned.

How could he know that Luo Fu's alteration of the past, seemingly a fleeting moment, had a significant impact on Zhao Li?

Why did the effects of the past change erupt just when Zhao Li was dealing with the evil spirits?

As a result, Zhao Li was even sent directly to a mental hospital.

Now it is clear that Luofu is the most likely person to have alarmed the Lord of Mount Tai.

Unfortunately, neither Zhao Li nor the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could produce any evidence to prove their claim.

The remnant soul of Chi You within Xia Dongqing is inherently extremely sensitive; in fact, it could be said that countless powerful beings across the Three Realms and Six Paths are currently paying close attention. Otherwise, would anyone truly believe that the White and Green Serpents, the Demon Mother Goddess, and even the Fifth Prince Taotie from the bottle world—all figures of considerable importance within the entire Eastern University mythology system—would care about a mere Xia Dongqing?
The only reason they would cooperate with Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld is because of the remnant soul of Chi You within Xia Dongqing's body.

Chi You was the leader of the Primordial People. Although the Primordial People needed the Kunlun Heavenly Maiden to descend to earth and teach them, this does not mean that the Primordial People were inherently inferior to Kunlun.

On the contrary, the original humans were created by those ancient gods around the same time period as the Kunlun gods and other beings.

This also means that, in terms of their inherent qualities, the original humans were actually no less capable than the gods of Kunlun.

Even the so-called underworld was actually created using materials from the defeated original humans, which shows the uniqueness of the original humans themselves.

Back then, Chi You was considered a powerful figure, not only because of his strength but also because of his status.

All of them were created by the ancient gods. In terms of status, the original humans were no less than the gods of Kunlun. Even Hades, the King of the Underworld, was just Chi You's sister, a little girl among the original humans.

Such a remnant soul reincarnating is bound to attract the attention of others.

However, Chi You's power alarmed the ancient god, Lord Taishan, so the underworld and the heavens need to provide an explanation.

Whether Chi You can be resurrected with his remnant soul is something that the Dragon Clan, Penglai Island, and the Buddhist realms may not actually care much about.

Even after Chi You was resurrected and his strength returned to its peak, he was still just one of many powerful figures.

But once an ancient god like Lord Taishan returns, the situation changes completely.

Despite their differing stances, after such a long period of contact, it's impossible for the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to be completely indifferent to Zhao Li.

Even if things went wrong, she couldn't just stand by and watch Zhao Li take the blame.

"Your Majesty, please give us some time. We will definitely find the culprit and hand him over to Kunlun and the Underworld for joint punishment," said the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with a firm tone.

"Ya!" Jade Rabbit exclaimed in surprise. What kind of good thing is this? How dare they claim it as their own?

"Shut up! I will personally go to Kunlun to explain this matter. It's none of your business to interfere," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden rebuked sharply.

Hades Acha revealed a satisfied smile.

After giving the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden a meaningful look, he said, "I hope you won't disappoint me this time, otherwise I will go to Kunlun myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the TV screen went black.

The oppressive feeling brought by Hades is gone.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.

Xia Dongqing stared intently at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with red eyes. For him, there had never been a greater shock in his life than today.

He had always believed that his parents and sister, who died in a car accident, were actually killed by the woman he loved so deeply.

What terrified Xia Dongqing even more was that this woman, who had clearly killed his entire family, could still act as if nothing had happened and treat him like a fool.

Who is he?
Xia Dongqing gave the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden a deep look, then turned and left.

He knew that he currently had no power to take revenge.

Xia Dongqing was fine with his usual carefree attitude, but he was somewhat familiar with the methods of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Even without mentioning him, the hourglass in her hand that can freeze time is something Xia Dongqing is not capable of dealing with.

“Holly,” the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden quickly said.

But Xia Dongqing ignored him and quickened his pace.

Zhao Li flashed and instantly appeared behind Xia Dongqing, delivering a karate chop to Xia Dongqing's carotid artery from behind.

Caught off guard, Xia Dongqing's vision went black and he fainted.

"Zhao Li, what are you doing?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden exclaimed in surprise.

Holding the collapsed Xia Dongqing, Zhao Li sighed, "What am I doing? I'm cleaning up your mess. Do you really want Dongqing to just leave like this? This matter can only be resolved by letting him calm down on his own. Wait for me a moment, I'll take him back to his room."

He watched as Zhao Li carried Xia Dongqing upstairs.

Jade Rabbit said unwillingly, "Ya, why did you suddenly soften your heart? Finding that person who obtained the power of the human demon, is that a joke? You dared to take on this matter, didn't you think about what Kunlun's attitude would be?"

"Then what do you want to do?" The series of changes that had occurred in such a short time had left the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in a state of utter confusion.

Unfortunately, the Jade Rabbit kept nagging on and on, which really annoyed the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"What should we do? Isn't this simple?" Jade Rabbit said matter-of-factly, "Just like when you dealt with Xia Dongqing's whole family, as long as you put on your feather robe, a bolt of lightning will strike. I guarantee that Xia Dongqing will be dead. Then, even if there is any trouble, it will have nothing to do with us. We can go straight back to Kunlun and let the Underworld figure it out themselves."

"Can you shut up?" the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden snapped in frustration.

Now is not the time when Xia Dongqing had just left the bottle world.

At that time, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn't have much affection for Xia Dongqing. As for Wang Xiaoya in the bottle world, she was just an avatar and didn't affect the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's mindset much.

Even the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could create several clones to play with Xia Dongqing.

However, after spending time with Xia Dongqing, Jiutian Xuannv unknowingly fell deeply in love with him.

"What's wrong with you?" Jade Rabbit asked, puzzled.

Taking a deep breath, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "Little White, you go back to Kunlun first. I'm staying here to resolve this trouble."

"No, I came here to help you," the Jade Rabbit said unwillingly.

"I don't need your help. You'll only make things worse. Anyway, get back to Kunlun right now and stop causing trouble."

Even though she desperately wanted to stay, the Jade Rabbit, sensing the unwavering resolve of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, finally sighed and said, "Ya, you must be careful. Don't let yourself be infected by that plague called love."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden froze for a moment, then, feigning composure, chased away the Jade Rabbit before looking towards the stairs.

At the corner of the stairs, Zhao Li rested his hands on the handrail, observing her with great interest.

"How is Holly?" the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden asked.

"What can we do? He's been through too much. Let him rest for a while!" Zhao Li subconsciously glanced back in the direction of Xia Dongqing's room.
