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

Chapter 682 The Ancient Goddess Xi Wangmu? Let the Wheel of Fate lead to an unpredictable future!
,

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden opened her mouth, but ultimately did not press Xia Dongqing for details. Instead, she changed the subject, saying, "Zhao Li, that guy can't be allowed to live. We must find a way to deal with him as soon as possible, otherwise, if he continues to run rampant like this, the Three Realms will be thrown into chaos sooner or later!"

Nodding, Zhao Li said, "Yes, but the problem now is, where should we go to find him?"

With his hands shrugged, Zhao Li said, "All I know is that a hundred years ago, he appeared in an ancient city and saved a damned man. More than a hundred years have passed, who knows where he is hiding?"

After a moment's hesitation, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden asked, "Do you still remember Zhou Jie and Su Yue?"

Zhao Li certainly knew Zhou Jie and Su Yue, even though he was in a mental hospital when Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and Xia Dong Qing were stationed in the urban village.

However, after being discharged from the hospital, Jiutian Xuannv and Xia Dongqing did not hesitate to take credit for this incident.

Zhao Li had heard the whole process countless times.

"You mean we can find him by looking for Su Yue and Zhou Jie?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said with certainty, "I am absolutely certain that Zhou Jie and Su Yue are right next to that guy right now."

"But how do we find them?" Zhao Li said helplessly, "Their names aren't even in the Book of Life and Death."

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door.

Both Zhao Li and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden were taken aback.

The villa they rented was located in a quiet environment, and they had little interaction with their neighbors.

Logically speaking, no one should come to visit at this time.

They exchanged a glance, and Zhao Li took the initiative to open the door.

The moment Zhao Li saw the person approaching, his eyes narrowed.

Dr. Lin.

That's right.

The person who inexplicably appeared at the villa's entrance at that moment was none other than Dr. Lin from the mental hospital.

"Smimasai." After bowing slightly, Dr. Lin stood up and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tsuchimikado Ichiro."

"An islander?" Zhao Li's eyes flashed with a cold light. He drew his flintlock pistol and pointed it directly at Dr. Lin's forehead, saying, "You still have the nerve to come here? Aren't you afraid of death?!"

Dr. Lin smiled slightly and said, "Please don't misunderstand, I'm here to help you solve your problem."

"In my opinion, you're the trouble that needs to be dealt with," Zhao Li sneered.

"I know where the person you're looking for is." Dr. Lin finally revealed his trump card.

Not that long ago.

Both the Underworld and Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm noticed when the Lord of Mount Tai was awakened.

Hao Ji, who was in the hospital basement, also noticed something was wrong.

Although Hao Ji is absolutely no match for Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm or the Underworld in terms of status and position, she is not without her own advantages.

It should be noted that the immortal soul of Gohime is sustained by urban legends and demons from the island nation.

Among these, the Ju-on mechanism, which directly borrows the power of the Great God of Chishan Haoli, is the core of Haoji's immortal soul.

Luo Fu entered Haoli using the small curse of Yayoi, which was separated from the real curse. In other words, Luo Fu secretly used the power of the curse to smuggle himself into Haoli.

The mastermind behind the Ju-on mechanic is none other than Gouki.

Although Hao Ji only borrowed the power of the Great God of Chishan, Luo Fu's entry into Hao Li through the curse was almost completed right under her nose.

Of course, because of Kamui, Gouki didn't see it clearly, but she did notice the problem.

Having planned the Mount Tai Lord Festival for so many years as her life's dream, how could Hao Ji not panic at such a terrifying anomaly?

Unfortunately, Hao Ji is currently in a critical period of rebuilding her body and is unable to return to the island nation. Moreover, she has already seen hope at the Taishan Fujun Festival, so she is even more unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado family were clearly incapable of solving the problem.

Therefore, Princess Gohime could only send Tsuchimikado Ichiro to find Zhao Li and the others.

Since I can't solve it myself, I naturally need to find someone else to take the fall.

Dr. Lin is here now, just as Hao Ji instructed.

"What did you say?" Both Zhao Li and Jiutian Xuannv were shocked upon hearing Dr. Lin's words.

Even the underworld couldn't find any trace of Luo Fu and the others, so what makes this sorcerer from the island nation so capable?
Dr. Lin smiled and said, "I said I know where the person you're looking for is."

Zhao Li frowned, glanced at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden beside him, and the two exchanged a look.

Zhao Li then said, "Tell me, and I might be able to give you a quick death."

“You won’t kill me,” Dr. Lin said confidently. “Because I can help you.”

"Tell me first, where is the person we're looking for!" Zhao Li wouldn't easily trust Dr. Lin.

From the moment he introduced himself, Zhao Li already regarded Dr. Lin as an enemy.

Don't forget, Zhao Li is a thousand-year-old monster. During the Republic of China era, he personally witnessed the atrocities committed by the island nation. Moreover, due to the impact of Luo Fu's alteration of the past, Zhao Li was imprisoned in Dr. Lin's mental hospital.

We are fully aware of what these islanders are doing.

“He’s in an island nation,” Dr. Lin said. “I will personally take you there to find out his exact location.”

"What do you want?" the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden questioned.

They wouldn't believe that Dr. Lin was there to be a Good Samaritan and help for free.

"He has affected Mother's plans," Dr. Lin said frankly.

However, when Zhao Li and the others pressed him for answers again, Dr. Lin remained silent.

The identity of the so-called mother and the nature of the plan left Zhao Li and the others completely baffled.

However, for Zhao Li and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the most urgent task now is to dig out Luofu and shift the blame for alarming the Lord of Mount Tai onto Luofu.

They didn't have the time or inclination to deal with the rest for the time being.

After leaving a message for the unconscious Xia Dongqing.

Zhao Li and Jiutian Xuannv, skilled and daring, followed Dr. Lin and boarded a plane to the island nation as quickly as possible.

Island country.

In the manor.

After Luofu returned from Haoli.

He had no idea how much of a commotion his actions had just caused.

I have just returned to the mansion.

Luo Fu then saw Ikuno Yui and three high school students still waiting in the room.

Zhou Jie also looked conflicted. Seeing Luo Fu appear, Zhou Jie quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Have you found a way to resolve their problems?"

Yui Ikuno and the others looked at Luo Fu with trepidation, fearing that they would hear despairing news from him.

Unfortunately, although Luo Fu had entered Haoli, the aura of the living on his body prevented him from truly entering Haoli. At most, he could only glimpse the desolate and deserted world of Haoli from afar, separated by the last barrier of life and death.

As for removing the curse marks on Yui Ikuno and the others, there is still no clue.

Seeing Luo Fu shake his head, if Zhou Jie felt a little disappointed because she couldn't help or save others, then...

Then, Yui Ikuno, Aoi, Nanami, and Rina were left with only utter despair.

Not to mention Nanami, who has extremely strong intuition, she sensed something was wrong as soon as she entered the Ju-on haunted house.

Even the other three realized that what they were experiencing was not some kind of trickery, but a real and unspeakable curse related to the Great God of Red Mountain.

Although the women's families weren't particularly poor, none of them were as wealthy as Luo Fu, who occupied such a quiet manor in the heart of Tokyo. Judging from this small glimpse, he must be someone at the top of society in Tokyo and even the entire island nation, to orchestrate such a farce to deceive them.

It can only be said that the more they realized their situation, the more desperate they became.

At this point, Zhou Jie stopped speaking up for Ikuno Yui.

Ultimately, Zhou Jie's choice to help was simply driven by her inner morality, but she is by no means a saint.

Zhou Jie knew very well that occasionally making a request to Luo Fu was a way to enhance their relationship, but if she didn't know how to handle it, she would be being ungrateful.

As someone who came to this real world from the world inside the bottle, Zhou Jie knew very well that there was absolutely no basis for equality between her and Luo Fu.

At most, she has a bit of a self, but she has a clear sense of belonging; she is just one of Luo Fu's companions.

That's just compensation because I served as a test subject in the Luofu experiment.

The more Nanami, Yui Ikuno, and the others understood their current situation, the more terrified they became.

Nanami, in particular, with her powerful intuition, constantly felt threatened by Ju-on.

With a thud, Qi Hai knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Please, please save me! I don't want to die. I'll agree to anything you ask for. I just want to live..."

The threat of death completely broke Nanami.

Her actions were like a starting point, and Yui Ikuno, Rina, and Aoi could no longer hold back.

The desperate pleas of several women touched Su Yue's heart.

But when Su Yue tried to speak, his wife stopped him before he could.

Faced with the emotionally distraught pleas of several women, Luo Fu pondered for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

Before he can enter Haoli and understand the abilities of Chishan Damingshen, or Taishan Fujun, the true god who controls death, he doesn't really have many ways to resolve the curse.

Even if it could temporarily dispel Kayako's attacks on Nanami, Yui Ikuno, and the others, Luo Fu wasn't a babysitter and couldn't possibly watch over them every moment.

But at this moment, Luo Fu came up with another solution in a flash of inspiration.

Yayoi, the smaller Ju-on who was forcibly separated from the Ju-on mechanism by Luofu, also has her power originating from the Akazan Daimyojin.

If Yayoi were to kill them, then although they would still die, would it be possible to avoid the cursed attack of another Kayako?

The death of the Lord of Mount Tai is irreversible. Granting them death with the same power, wouldn't that be considered exploiting a bug in the Ju-on mechanic?
Of course, doing so would still result in the deaths of Yui Ikuno and the others, no different from dying under Kayako's curse mechanism.

If they do that, Luofu might even create more minor curses.

At that point, things could easily spiral out of control.

But what does this have to do with Luofu? He's just a rootless duckweed.

The moment Luo Fu left the world inside the bottle, he was completely free of any foundation or ties in this world.

At best, it was only the Su Yue couple, Xiaoqian, and Zhou Jie around him who could make Luofu pay a little attention.

“It’s not that there’s no other way,” Luo Fu said enticingly. “Perhaps there is a way for you to get rid of the mark from the curse of the haunted house.”

Just as a glimmer of hope arose in the hearts of a few people.

An unfamiliar voice came from beside Luo Fu.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Luo Fu was immediately taken aback.

Follow the sound.

The scattered starlight, appearing out of nothing, quickly gathered together and, in a short time, formed a woman dressed in a classical Warring States period robe.

This woman had a face that Luo Fu had absolutely no recollection of.

Strangely, the moment Luo Fu saw this woman, he felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Thoughts raced through my mind.

He accepted the Luo Fu, but couldn't recall where he had seen this woman before.

Strangely, a name that bore no resemblance to this woman inexplicably came to Luo Fu's mind.

"Xie Xin?"

"I've said names don't matter." The woman in the Warring States period robe possessed an air of unparalleled elegance, nobility, and unapproachability. She said, "What you're about to do will steer the wheel of fate toward an unpredictable future. Do you still want to do it?"

Although the other party did not admit it, Luo Fu was instantly convinced that she was the woman who had given him three tarot cards back then, Xie Xin, who dressed like a non-mainstream, punk rocker in the world of the bottle.

Xie Xin was merely an indifferent incarnation of the other party, even less worthy than Wang Xiaoya, the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Previously, in the world inside the bottle, Luo Fu had already guessed that Xie Xin was not simple.

After all, how could an ordinary, unconventional person with a flamboyant style possibly predict Xia Dongqing's situation through tarot cards? More importantly, the tarot cards given to Xia Dongqing actually came from the world in the bottle to the real world and did not disappear.

The same applies to the three cards Xie Xin gave to Luo Fu.

“Your name is indeed unimportant,” Luo Fu said, staring intently at the other person. “But I want to know, what exactly is your identity?”

"Why don't you guess? If you guess right, then I'll tell you what the consequences will be for what you've done." The woman in the Warring States robe finally revealed a bit of humanity, no longer the aloof, god-like figure with only cold divinity.

My mind raced through all the possibilities.

A name popped into Luo Fu's mind.

The Queen Mother of the West, the Golden Mother, the Holy Mother of Yaochi, the Golden Mother Yuanjun, and even the Queen Mother Niangniang.

All these names share a common identity: ancient gods.

Luo Fu's understanding of the background of this world was limited, and he could only apply his limited knowledge to the woman in front of him.

Of these, the most likely candidate is the Queen Mother of the West.

But... according to legend, Kunlun in the celestial realm is the domain of the Queen Mother of the West. So, could this woman in front of you be the master of Kunlun?

The Queen Mother of the West is also suspected to be an ancient deity no less powerful than the Lord of Mount Tai.

So, who exactly is she?
