The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Shen Huaichuan sat there absentmindedly, only snapping out of his reverie when Yue Niang hurriedly got up and left.

Before leaving, Yue Niang greeted Yun Yici, who was not worried about her.

She turned to look at Shen Huaichuan and asked with concern, "Is something on your mind?"

Shen Huaichuan hadn't expected his behavior to be so obvious.

He sighed softly, "I've just thought of another thing I did without your permission."

Yun Yici was surprised: "There are things I don't know?"

Shen Huaichuan appeared calm, but Yun Yici inexplicably sensed his panic.

"When I sank you into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, I also destroyed the life tablet you had entrusted to the Nanhua Sect."

Yun Yici couldn't help but cover her face: "Then wouldn't my master think I'm really dead?"

She was unaware that the life tablet had shattered.

Moreover, when she left Juexian City, the information she gathered was very clear: in the eyes of outsiders, she was "missing" rather than dead.

Sigh, it seems she really has died once.

Now that things have come to this, Yun Yici couldn't just blame Shen Huaichuan. She only said, "When Master sees Senior Di Zhao and hears the whole story, he should know what happened."

Even so, Yun Yici's desire to return to the human realm grew even stronger.

Just then, Yue Niang walked in from the outer room, carrying the Netherworld Tree Spirit in her left hand and holding the Dragon Cunning in her right.

The Netherworld Tree Spirit lowered its head meekly, while Long Jiao looked defiant.

Yun Yici quickly stood up: "I wonder how they offended Senior Yue?"

With a forced smile, Yue Niang released the tree and the dragon, saying, "This dragon wants to wander around, but this... tree demon dares to sneak into my room."

Yun Yici said, feeling embarrassed, "I'm sorry."

These two troublemakers were inherently wild and unruly.

Having just been driven out by the Moon Goddess and with no one around to restrain him, he started shaking again.

The dragon bared its teeth, about to revert to its original form, when the ferocious Moon Goddess grabbed its face.

Yue Niang smiled and said, "Sect Leader Yun, there's no need to blame yourself. You can't be blamed for this."

"I happen to be short two jobs, so I'll leave them here with me to toughen them up."

Yun Yici knew that Yue Niang was stubborn but soft-hearted, and that she was trying to win them over, so how could she refuse?

The tree spirit cried out in alarm, "No, no!"

This vicious woman uses the Forget-Me-Not Grass to brew medicine. Once she finds out his true identity, he'll have his hair plucked and used to refine medicine!

"I am from the Lingwei Sect! How could I possibly serve here!"

In a moment of desperation, the tree spirit disregarded Shen Huaichuan's previous rebuttals and regarded Yun Yici as its last lifeline, hoping that Yun Yici, as the sect leader, could stand up for them.

Moon Lady smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. I am a guest elder of the Lingwei Sect. Isn't it only natural for you to work under me?"

The Nether Tree Spirit stared blankly, completely taken aback, and then exclaimed anxiously, "Look at my tiny arms and legs, what can I possibly do?"

The tree spirit's appearance resembled that of a five-year-old child, and it was considerably shorter than Xiao Ji.

Judging by appearance alone, they are truly pitiful.

Moon Goddess remained unmoved and slapped him on the head: "How old are you, you old ghost, still pretending to be young?"

"You two go and sweep up the fallen leaves in the backyard!"

Seeing that Yue Niang had tamed the dragon and the tree so well, Yun Yici felt relieved.

As soon as the Netherworld Tree Spirit and Long Jiao left, she quickly brought up the important matter: "Moon Lady, what is the true nature of the Netherworld Palace?"

"Do you think we, a few of us, can break through the Netherworld Palace's blockade in the Ghost Realm?"

In Yun Yici's opinion, their lineup is quite strong.

Even though she is currently confined to a physical body, Yue Niang and Shen Huaichuan are on the verge of ascension, and there is also Long Jiao.

Moon Maiden shook her head and said, "Do you know the Book of Commandments?"

Yun Yici said, "I have only heard of the Book of Admonitions."

The Moon Goddess sighed deeply: "The Book of Admonitions is the Book of Commandments."

"The Spiritual Seal of the Human Realm, the Mirror of the Demon Realm, the Codex of Ten Thousand Demons of the Monster Realm, and the Book of Commandments of the Ghost Realm."

"These are four legendary celestial artifacts passed down from ancient times."

"The Lingwei Sect got its name from the Lingwei Seal. There is another world inside the seal. However, the Lingwei Seal has been lost for many years, and many people speculate that it was destroyed by the last sect leader."

"The Mirror of Illumination descended upon the world alongside the Heavenly Demon. It is a demonic artifact that can illuminate a person's three lifetimes of reincarnation."

"The Scripture of Ten Thousand Demons is said to be able to command all demons. I once went to the demon realm to search for this scripture, but I found nothing."

"Finally, there is the Book of Commandments, which can determine life and death in the three realms. It is in the hands of the Netherworld Palace and is the core of the Netherworld Palace."

"The Netherworld Palace has ten Palace Masters, whom all the ghosts in the Ghost Realm address as 'Master'."

"They used the ten Heavenly Stems as their designations: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui."

"The reason I say I am suppressed in the ghost realm is because my name is on the Book of Commandments, so I cannot leave this place."

Yun Yici recalled the conversation between Xiao Ji and A Ming when she met Xiao Ji, and asked, "What would happen if my name was on the Book of Commandments?"

Moon Lady said, "That depends on whether it is the name of the living or the name of the deceased."

"Those who live have a name, and will surely die."

"The dead leave their names, but their lifespans are not all the same."

"I am caught between the living and the dead, and thus I am bound by the Book of Commandments."

“I have been trying to find a way to destroy the Book of Commandments, but with the Underworld Palace around, moving one thing will have far-reaching consequences.”

The Netherworld Palace gathers the power of the entire Ghost Realm. To oppose the Netherworld Palace is to be at odds with the entire Ghost Realm. No wonder Yue Niang dares not act rashly when she is alone.

Yun Yici said, "Perhaps I can help you, but we need a Netherworld Beast."

She first sent Shen Huaichuan to the human realm, then used an arbitrary array to locate him and took Yue Niang back to the human realm.

The premise is that the arbitrary array provided by the system is even stronger than the constraints of the Book of Commandments.

Speaking of the Netherworld Beast, Yue Niang said bitterly, "I tried every means to get my hands on a Netherworld Beast, but I just couldn't keep it alive."

"Only a very small number of ghost beasts possess the ability to communicate with the underworld after they are born."

"These kinds of ghostly beasts will be selected by the people of the Netherworld Palace and brought back to the Netherworld Palace to be raised in a special way."

"Once they reach adulthood, the Tongming Beasts are extremely loyal to the Netherworld Palace, and will choose to commit suicide if captured."

"Even if I forcibly spare his life, I cannot subdue him and make him work for me."

Shen Huaichuan's thoughts coincided with Yun Yici's. He asked, "Is there any other way to infiltrate the Netherworld Palace?"

After pondering for a moment, Yue Niang hesitated and said, "Yes, there is. In ten days, it will be the Nine Netherworld Ghost Festival."

"At that time, the Netherworld Palace will select capable ghost cultivators to serve as its subordinates."

"But I am already on the opposite side of the Netherworld Palace."

"Senior Shen isn't a ghost cultivator..."

Yun Yici said, "I'll go."

“When Xiao Ji took me to weigh the soul before, those five black-clad ghosts all wanted me to stay.”

Shen Huaichuan frowned and stopped him, saying, "No, you've taken the Netherworld Leaf. If you condense a physical form in a short time, it will only arouse the suspicion of the Netherworld Palace."

Yun Yici clapped his hands and laughed, "What's so difficult about that?"

A quarter of an hour later, the ghosts queuing in front of the Moon Maiden's shop saw a beautiful young girl being driven out of the shop by its fierce owner.

"I kindly took you in, and you dare to steal my precious food?!"

"I'll spare your life today for Xiao Ji's sake, now get out of here!"
