Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Seeing the three hexagrams, Zhou Hao Chen couldn't help but gasp.

In the Nine Netherworlds, there were actually patrol teams and Ghost Kings.

From the hexagrams, the Nine Netherworlds was obviously not the masterless land he had imagined.

The ghosts in the Nine Netherworlds had already formed organizations.

Wang Death City, the territory rumored to be ruled by King Bian Cheng, how could it fall into the hands of the Gluttonous Ghost King?

Seeing the Ghost Gate Pass plaque split in half, Zhou Hao Chen had a faint guess in his heart.

The legendary Underworld must have undergone a drastic change countless years ago.

The current Underworld should be far from the mythical legends he remembered.

However, Zhou Hao Chen didn't have the mood to think too much at this time.

Because he had to choose one of the three hexagrams.

Should he take the plaque?

Should he leave it alone?

Or should he destroy the plaque?

Judging from the hexagrams, destroying the plaque was obviously the most unwise choice.

Even if the Ghost Gate Pass plaque was split in half, it was not something he could destroy.

Destroying the Ghost Gate Pass plaque was purely asking for trouble.

As for the other two hexagrams, it was nothing more than attracting the favor of an Supreme existence or attracting the pursuit of the Gluttonous Ghost King.

Obviously, the former was more benevolent to him.

The latter was mostly ill-intentioned.

Moreover, the hexagrams showed that giving up the plaque would grant him a Rank 3 opportunity.

Taking the plaque would grant him a Rank 4 opportunity.

Zhou Hao Chen could clearly distinguish the difference between Rank 3 and Rank 4, no matter how small.

In an instant, Zhou Hao Chen made a choice, giving up taking the Ghost Gate Pass plaque and ending this trip to the Nine Netherworlds.

With a thought, the mark of the Reincarnation Seal enveloped his divine soul, taking it back to the human world.

Just as Zhou Hao Chen was about to leave the Nine Netherworlds.

In the depths of the endless void.

A naked woman slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction where Zhou Hao Chen was leaving.

Her delicate body was trapped by nine chains, blood flowing continuously, gathering into a blood pool at her feet.

No one knew how deep this blood pool was.

No one knew how many years the blood had been flowing from the woman's body.

The mysterious woman laboriously raised her fingertip and pointed it in Zhou Hao Chen's direction.

With a whoosh!

A ray of dim light flew out.

Finally, the mysterious woman seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her eyes closed again, and she let out a faint murmur.

"Hopefully, this time, it will succeed!"

Just as Zhou Hao Chen was about to leave the Nine Netherworlds, he was horrified to see a ray of dim light attacking him.

The dim light flashed and entered his brow.

"This is... the Rank 3 opportunity?"

Before Zhou Hao Chen could recover from his shock, he had already returned to the human world.

His divine soul returned to its place, but compared to before going to the Nine Netherworlds, there was an extra painting in his sea of consciousness.

Zhou Hao Chen carefully looked at the content of the painting.

The Underworld collapses!

A hundred ghosts are released!

Rampaging through the Nine Netherworlds!

The pattern of the seal seemed to be almost identical to the mark of the Reincarnation Seal, if not exactly the same.

At the same time, the mark of the Reincarnation Seal in Zhou Hao Chen's body seemed to have been stimulated, vibrating wildly, wanting to leave his body and enter the Painting of a Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade.

The mark of the Reincarnation Seal in his body and the seal in the Painting of a Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade.

Were like the two poles of a magnet, attracting each other.

Zhou Hao Chen spent a lot of effort to appease the mark in his body, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Could it be... could it be..."

"The seal in this Painting of a Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade was made with the Reincarnation Seal."

【Painting of a Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade: A gift from an Supreme existence, a symbol of your fate with the Supreme existence. Collecting three marks of the Reincarnation Seal can stimulate the power of this painting and summon the Supreme existence to temporarily descend upon the human world.】

After reading the hexagram in the Eight Trigrams Diagram, Zhou Hao Chen's expression was as wonderful as it could be.

Supreme existence!

This was the first time Zhou Hao Chen had seen the Eight Trigrams Diagram use the term Supreme existence.

Who exactly was the Supreme existence in the Eight Trigrams Diagram?

A Twelfth Realm expert?

Impossible!

A Twelfth Realm expert was not worthy of the Eight Trigrams Diagram using the term Supreme existence.

Without a doubt, this Supreme existence was definitely an existence above the Twelfth Realm.

"Could it be an old monster left over from ancient times?"

Zhou Hao Chen muttered in his heart.

The Nine Netherworlds Underworld in the Great Yu world could only be glimpsed in myths and legends.

What specific gods existed in the myths and legends had long disappeared in the endless river of history.

Zhou Hao Chen knew a lot about the myths and legends of the Nine Netherworlds Underworld on Earth in his previous life.

He just didn't know if there were these mythical figures in the Nine Netherworlds Underworld of the Great Yu Dynasty?

The Mother Earth Goddess?

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak?

The Great Emperor of Fengdu?

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

...

Zhou Hao Chen had many guesses in his mind, but no evidence.

However, from the fact that the Painting of a Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade that the other party gave him was stamped with the Reincarnation Seal, Zhou Hao Chen had a bold guess in his heart.

"No way!"

"Could it be a goddess at the level of a creator god?"

Zhou Hao Chen's face showed astonishment, this guess was too shocking.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Earth Goddess were the great gods in the Great Yu mythology who created the world.

Whether they really created the world or not was unknown, but that's how the myths and legends were.

And these two great gods were recognized as having already fallen.

Zhou Hao Chen's face was full of horror, and a storm surged in his heart, which could not be calmed for a long time.

He actually attracted the attention of an existence who was very likely to be the Mother Earth Goddess.

If this news were to spread out, it would definitely be a deep-water bomb that would cause an uproar.

Fortunately, judging from the hexagrams, this existence, who was suspected to be the Mother Earth Goddess, had good intentions towards him.

"Perhaps, if I collect three marks of the Reincarnation Seal and summon the other party to the human world, I will be able to know whether the other party is the Mother Earth Goddess."

Zhou Hao Chen murmured, reviewing his experience in the Nine Netherworlds tonight, and it took him a full half an hour to completely digest it.

After such an experience, Zhou Hao Chen had no intention of sleeping, so he took out the Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Grass and began to cultivate the Earthen Thunder.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Zhou Hao Chen finished his cultivation, and after being served by the twin sisters, he finished his breakfast and went to the Xuanwu Army camp outside the city.

"This humble official, Chai Wenzhao, greets Your Highness!"

A clerk of the Xuanwu Army greeted Zhou Hao Chen.

"Rise!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, after receiving the Second Prince's order, this subordinate worked overnight to compile all the cases of the Xuanwu Army in the past ten years, as well as the information of the captains who investigated the cases."

Zhou Hao Chen glanced through the black silk.

The desk was piled with files, as big as a small hill.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Chai!"

"Not hard, it is this official's honor to serve Your Highness."

Chai Wenzhao said flatteringly, obviously with a heart to make progress.

"I want to investigate the case of Xiang Tao ten years ago, please Master Chai take out Xiang Tao's file."

Zhou Hao Chen said straight to the point.

Chai Wenzhao was also a straightforward person, and soon plunged into the mountain of files to find it.

Soon, he found the file of Xiang Tao, the father of Li Yue and Chun Yue.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this is Xiang Tao's file."

"Xiang Tao's family was exterminated, has the truth been found out?" Zhou Hao Chen asked directly.

"Your Highness, according to the records in the file, Xiang Tao was exterminated by enemies in the Jianghu."

"Oh? Enemies? Who exactly?" Zhou Hao Chen asked playfully.

"This..."

Chai Wenzhao stammered, his face not good.

"Master Chai, just say what is written in the file, this case was not investigated by you, do you still worry that I will blame you?" Zhou Hao Chen sneered.

"Your Highness is joking!" Chai Wenzhao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, paused, and said, "The file does not specify the specific identity of Xiang Tao's enemy."

"What about the follow-up? Didn't you investigate further?"

"If you didn't find out the truth, why didn't you transfer it to the Ministry of Justice and the Town Demon Division?"

Zhou Hao Chen's tone turned cold, and with one sentence, Chai Wenzhao was covered in sweat and his lips trembled.

As a senior clerk, how could he not see the trickiness in this file?

Just...

Even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to say it!

At this time, Chai Wenzhao only felt that entertaining the Thirteenth Prince was a hot potato, and he couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to.

"Your Highness, I don't know, I really don't know!"

Chai Wenzhao's face was so ugly that he was about to cry.

Feeling Chai Wenzhao's frightened mood, Zhou Hao Chen's face softened slightly.

"No need to say, I know everything."

"Bring me the captain who investigated the case back then."

"This... Your Highness, I can't do it!"

"Can't do it?"

Zhou Hao Chen raised his eyebrows, and sneered again and again.

Chai Wenzhao bit the bullet and reported.

"Your Highness, the captain who investigated the case back then suddenly fell seriously ill and died during the investigation!"
