The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Ruan Xiaojiu subdued the demons and everything was settled. The man in black robe and the man in red robe became Ruan Xiaojiu's left and right protectors in the underworld, handling all affairs of the underworld.

Ruan Xiaojiu came to the dim dungeon where ghosts and demons were imprisoned. Ghost lights flickered and a gloomy atmosphere filled the air.

Ruan Xiaojiu, with a cold aura, sat in a chair, his eyes like a sharp sickle, pressing firmly against the throat of the demon in front of him. The demon's body twisted, revealing its true form, and it hissed strangely, with a hint of fear in its eyes.

"Tell me, where is Ye Tingshen's soul?" She used her powerful spiritual sense to search every corner of the underworld, but still could not find any trace of Ye Tingshen. She suspected that if someone had not deliberately hidden his tracks, then some magical instrument had blocked his aura, otherwise how could she not find him?

But the person most likely to have done all this is the demon in front of him, because he has always wanted to control him and kill him.

Ruan Xiaojiu shouted sharply, his voice echoing throughout the empty underground palace. The demonic demon grinned, revealing its sharp fangs and letting out a strange laugh: "What do you think you can get out of me? Don't dream!"

Ruan Xiaojiu snorted coldly, channeling her dark energy through the air like a sharp blade slicing through a demon's skin, sending black blood cascading down. "If you don't tell me, today will be your death!" Her gaze was as sharp as a torch, revealing an undeniable aura and pressure.

The demon felt pain and his body trembled, the arrogance in his eyes gradually dissipated. He was not afraid of death, but he felt extremely uncomfortable being humiliated like this by the little girl he had always looked down upon.

"Okay... I'll tell you. Ye Tingshen's soul is sealed in a sarcophagus deep in the Heavenly Soul Locking Formation. There is a powerful restriction there, which is specially set up for you. Do you dare to go? You can't get close at all. If you dare to break in, you will be sealed together!" After saying that, the ghost demon laughed, as if he had seen Ruan Xiaojiu's self-destruction in advance.

Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes flashed, but he remained calm on the surface. He left the cell and felt depressed.

Ruan Xiaojiu walked back to the palace with heavy steps, her face full of worry. She didn't know what the Emperor of Heaven was up to. After imprisoning her father and mother, he was now using Ye Tingshen's soul as a bait. He must want to suppress her so much that he set up such a big plan.

She lowered her head, worry in her eyes, and felt that everything along the way was directed against her, as if she was being controlled by an invisible giant hand.

Ruan Siqi and Xiao Zeming saw her like this and hurried forward, their eyes full of concern. Ruan Siqi gently took Ruan Xiaojiu's hand and asked softly, "Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Xiao Zeming was also looking at her anxiously.

Ruan Xiaojiu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I am the princess of the underworld. My father, the king, and my mother, the queen, were framed by the Emperor of Heaven and imprisoned in their physical bodies because of me. I must go and save them."

Ruan Siqi held her hand tightly and said firmly, "Xiaojiu, don't be afraid. No matter what decision you make, we support you. If you encounter danger, we will find a way to help you."

Xiao Zeming also nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are not alone, we will face it with you."

Ruan Xiaojiu looked at them and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She was actually a person who was very afraid of trouble, otherwise she would not feel lonely so often.

"With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. I'll have to go to Heaven sooner or later anyway. Since the Emperor of Heaven is ready to welcome me, how can I keep him waiting too long? I'll make some preparations and leave as soon as possible. I believe that as long as we work together, we can resolve this crisis."

……

In the center of the underworld, Ruan Xiaojiu must check how dangerous it is to go to the heaven before leaving. She is not a reckless person and has her own plans and intentions.

The dome of the Obsidian Palace is not empty, but projects the quantum phantom of the star tracks of the three realms in real time.

Faint blue light spots flowed on the liquid metal wall, outlining the spiral arms of the Styx Galaxy - this was the coordinate where the Queen of Pluto was detained in heaven, and was now marked in a glaring blood red by the energy field of Ruan Xiaojiu's fingertips.

In the shadows behind her, two distinct energy fields were fluctuating violently. On the left was a turbulent flow of pure black energy, each fluctuation carrying the low-frequency hum of dark matter annihilation. That was the area guarded by the black robe.

On the right side is a stream of energy glowing silvery, like a beam of solidified antimatter, belonging to the red-robed old man.

The ghost runes on the two men's armor flashed synchronously, showing a high degree of synchronization in their emotions - eagerness.

The two of them were constantly observing the situation here, paying more attention to the current situation of Hades and the Queen than anyone else. "Princess, the spatial jump channel displayed by the Styx has been calculated and can reach the Heavenly Palace at any time."

The red-robed old man's voice was like an ice blade cutting through alloy. "My red-robed shadow guard can build an antimatter shield within three star hours, and can break the first layer of defense of the 'Ten Thousand Years Cold Cave Prison' in the heaven." The annihilation lightsaber at his waist popped out half a foot, and the energy flow on the sword body crackled.

The sleeves of the black-robed old man fluttered without a breeze, and the hollow eyes under his hood flashed with a scarlet light: "The dark matter penetration module of the black-robed shadow guard has been upgraded, and can bypass the quantum lock of the heaven. As long as you give the order, we can immediately attack the heaven-"

"That's enough." Ruan Xiaojiu turned, the hem of her dark palace dress sweeping across the ground, stirring up a ripple of energy. Each of the shadow guards here was curious about this strange, newly returned princess, but they didn't take her seriously. They respected the two guardians, the black-robed and the red-robed.

They did not trust the youngest princess in the ghost world.

The dark lines on Ruan Xiaojiu's forehead were growing slightly hot with emotion. "Do you think the prison in heaven is just an energy barrier? Can it be easily broken?"

She raised her hand, and the star track projection on the dome suddenly magnified. Countless silver threads emerged from the edge of the target galaxy. "That's a quantum entanglement matrix constructed from the remains of 36,000 neutron stars. Every energy impact will cause the entire cage to collapse in dimension."

The man in black robe analyzed the void image again. The data before the five hundred was still the most powerful. I don’t know why the princess thought it was not good enough.

"This was in ancient times, when the abundance of dark matter was 70 percent higher than in the current universe!" Ruan Xiaojiu traced a formula in the air with his fingertips. "The current Star Track Cage has undergone iterations by the Celestial Academy of Sciences, increasing the density of quantum entanglement per square meter by three orders of magnitude. If your dark matter module overloads, soul transmission throughout the entire ghost world will be destroyed in a chain reaction."

She traveled through time and space to the modern era, so she naturally had a thorough analysis of these pediatric data.

The red-robed figure frowned, "But we can't let the queen continue to suffer. Hades won't leave until the queen is rescued! Those hypocrites in heaven—"

"That's why I need you to stay in the Ghost Realm," Ruan Xiaojiu interrupted, heading towards the "HUB of All Souls" in the center of the Obsidian Palace. This suspended crystal pillar emitted countless faint lights, representing the flow of soul data from the entire Ghost Realm. "You think I'm rejecting combat power? Look at this."

She pressed her palm against the crystal pillar, and it instantly erupted in a blinding white light. In the projection, countless red spots suddenly appeared in the "Forgotten River" area at the edge of the ghost world—a cluster of evil spirits from outside the realm attempting to invade.

"This was a three-hour warning," Ruan Xiaojiu's voice was as cold as liquid nitrogen. "The ghost world is still in chaos. Without you to handle the situation, we're simply giving the enemy an opportunity to cut off their supply. And behind these evil spirits, I'm afraid the dark matter pulses of the Celestial Purifiers are pulling them in."

The black-robed man's pupils shrank. "Princess, are you saying that the Celestial Realm is using Queen Pluto as bait to lure us out?"

"There should be more than that." Ruan Xiaojiu guessed that the most likely possibility was to seal himself.

The red-robed man suddenly knelt on one knee. He had never imagined there would be such twists and turns here. He plunged the lightsaber in his hand into the ground, splashing a string of energy sparks: "The red-robed shadow guard is also under the influence of the red robe. The power core is bound to the princess! We can allocate half of the combat force to stay behind, and the rest-"

"No need." Ruan Xiaojiu waved his hand.

The man in black robe was silent for a moment, then suddenly unbuttoned his robe, revealing the rune matrix around his neck. "I wish to activate the Forbidden Technique: Soul Fire Synchronization, temporarily strengthening myself at the cost of my own strength—"

"Nonsense!" Ruan Xiaojiu's voice was filled with anger for the first time. "Soul Fire Synchronization will put you into a quantum coma, requiring at least ten hours to recover! The Underworld cannot accommodate both of you at the same time." She looked around at the two of them, the sleeves of her dark palace dress falling to reveal the markings on their forearms that shared their origins. This was the mark of their willingness to become Ruan Xiaojiu's most loyal servants. "Don't forget that I am your master. Everything is subject to my orders. Your first duty is to protect the Underworld, not to disobey me."

This was the iron law etched into their souls when they were marked. The red-robed man's lightsaber gradually dimmed, and the black-robed man's sleeves finally stopped churning with energy.

"This princess doesn't need to take any of you with her." After saying that, Ruan Xiaojiu turned and walked out.
