# Chapter 496: Tracking
A bald-headed Judge in a Black Suit bent at the waist, backing out of the Room, carefully closing the Room Door! Before he could straighten his back, several Judges surrounded him.
The leading female Judge wore a mink coat, held a Black Cat in her arms, and had a dazzling Large Gold Chain around her neck, looking every bit like a rich woman from the Mortal Realm.
Impatiently, she grabbed the Bald Head man's coat corner and directly questioned him.
"Let's talk back there!"
The Bald Head man gave a look to his colleagues. The Crowd understood and successively entered the nearby Elevator.
The Elevator rapidly descended from the nine hundred and ninety-ninth floor, quickly reaching the bottom of the Underworld King Building. The Judges left the Underworld King Building one after another.
Underworld Yellow Springs Bar!
This Yellow Springs Bar was the Yellow Springs Inn a few hundred years ago. However, as the Underworld continuously transformed with the development of the Mortal Realm, this Yellow Springs Inn also transitioned into a Bar.
When the Judges entered the Yellow Springs Bar, the beautiful Madame Boss was sitting alone by the window, swirling a cocktail in her hand, looking wistfully at the Red Spider Lilies covering the ground outside the window! The Madame Boss is called San Qi. Of course, on the Yellow Springs Road, most Ghosts know her by another name, Meng Po!
The Yellow Springs Bar was originally very lively. The Ghosts who came here to drown their sorrows were discussing the recent loud noise in the Sky and the Golden Light that crashed down.
Seeing the Bald Head Judge and his group enter the Bar, the previously lively atmosphere inside the entire Bar instantly quieted down. Many "people" even got up and left directly.
The Madame Boss heard the Bar fall silent. She turned back to look at the Entrance. After noticing who had arrived, she rolled her eyes and remained seated, showing no intention of getting up.
A Bartender dressed as a Bunny Girl glanced at her Madame Boss, then stepped forward with her long, forty-inch legs to greet them: "Sirs, what can I get for you?"
The Judge dressed as a rich woman glared annoyedly at the Madame Boss not far away: "Prepare a Room for us. Tell San Qi to come over; we have some Matters we want to discuss with her!"
The Bunny Girl glanced at her Madame Boss. After receiving her signal, she led the Judges to the Bar's Private Room! After a while, the Madame Boss finished the Alcohol in her Cup, greeted the Bartenders in the Bar, and followed the Judges to the Private Room.
On the second floor of the Yellow Springs Bar, the Judges sat down on the Sofa and Chairs. The Bunny Girl Bartender served the Yellow Springs Bar's signature Alcohol—
When the Madame Boss entered the Private Room, she Sensibly left the Room and stood at the Entrance, making sure no one else approached.
San Qi walked into the Private Room, went to the opposite side of the Judges, pulled up a Sofa Chair, and sat down directly. She poured herself a Cup of Oblivion Wine, crossed her long legs that were no less impressive than the Bunny Girl's, and silently took small sips of the Alcohol.
Across from San Qi, the Judges exchanged glances but remained silent.
Only after San Qi finished her Cup of Oblivion did she place the Cup on the table in front of her and lightly tap the surface with her hand: "Alright, let's get down to business. It is my honor that you Judges, despite your busy schedules, have time to visit my little place. However, I presume you are not here just to Drink Alcohol. If you have something to say, just say it!"
The Judge dressed as a rich woman showed an unhappy Look on her face: "San Qi, we watched you grow up. What is this Attitude!"
San Qi laughed. The Red Spider Lily petals on her Forehead were faintly visible when she smiled, a smile that was extremely charming.
"Yes, you watched me grow up, yet you stood by and watched my mother get killed, watched me get Extract Soul and Seize Spirit. Having elders like you is truly my good fortune!"
"San Qi! A member of the Meng Po clan falling in love with a Mortal was already against the Rules! We didn't pursue Meng Qi's Behavior too much back then; we chose to turn a blind eye. That was already us showing leniency!"
The Bald Head Judge shook his head and said: "As for you saying we stood by and watched, you didn't blame Zhao Li yourself, yet you blame us! Back then, large numbers of Mortal Realm Cultivators trespassed into the Underworld. We didn't expect their Target to be you. They say even a vicious Tiger doesn't eat its cubs. All I can say is your biological father was truly despicable. People say Ghosts are malicious, but they don't realize the most vicious thing is the Human Heart!"
Hearing the Bald Head Judge bring up the Matters from back then, San Qi's Expression immediately darkened. She knew that the Matters from back then truly had nothing to do with the Judges in front of her.
All the events of the past were merely the workings of fate. Her bringing up the past was only because she didn't want to get involved in the Judges' Matters. She had seen the scene when that Golden Light appeared that day very clearly.
Wrapped within that Golden Light was an Old Monk. When that Old Monk appeared in the Underworld, the Buddhist Radiance emanating from his Entire Body even made the entire Underworld feel like it was turning into a Pure Glazed Buddhist Land.
The Dark Clouds that had long lingered over the Underworld dissipated within that patch of Golden Light, and a large Hole was punched through them.
This commotion was even more filled with Terror than Zhao Li, that damned Ghost's, Arhat True Body! That wasn't some Golden Light; it was clearly a Bodhisattva radiating Buddhist Radiance. Such an Existence was forcefully struck into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
San Qi definitely didn't want to get involved in this mess!
"San Qi! The Underworld King is missing!"
The Bald Head Judge said with a solemn Expression! "Missing? Which unlucky soul has that Old Monster gone to torment now!" San Qi spread her hands, not showing much worry about the Underworld King's disappearance.
Zhao Li was right about one thing: the Yellow Springs flows with the Underworld King's belly full of mischief. That guy finds some fun for herself every once in a while.
And since the birth of the Underworld, in the two thousand four hundred and seventy-two kalpas since she succeeded as the Underworld King, countless unlucky souls have been toyed with by her, becoming her tools for passing the Time.
Zhao Li was one of the many unlucky souls. Not only were his Soul and Physical Body split in two by her, but his Physical Body also had to remain in the Underworld to work for her.
Back then, if she hadn't stolen Zhao Li's zither, he wouldn't have chased her to the Yellow Springs and ended up Fighting with her mother, leading to the tragic death of her mother, the previous generation's Meng Po.
However, it was also the Underworld King who took Action back then and saved her when only one spirit remained!
"The Underworld King was severely injured and escaped the Underworld. San Qi, the Underworld has changed hands!" The Bald Head Judge sighed, telling San Qi the seriousness of the Matters.
San Qi's mouth fell open, and she looked at the Judges with an Expression that said 'you must be joking'. Only when she saw the solemn Expressions on the Judges' faces did she realize this wasn't a joke.
"How is that possible? How could anyone in the Underworld be Acha's Rival!?" San Qi murmured to herself, her face filled with shock.
The Bald Head Judge gave a wry smile: "We aren't sure either, but it should be related to the Sky Sealing and Earth Locking that happened not long ago, which prevented Souls from entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
"So what do you want from me? I'm just a small Meng Po. I can't help against an Enemy that even the Underworld King couldn't handle!" San Qi spread her hands, saying helplessly!
"San Qi, before the Underworld King had trouble, she received a call from Zhao Li. That's why she forced her way through the Barrier sealing the Underworld, which ended up attracting that Existence!"
The female Judge said irritably: "In the entire Underworld, you and Zhao Li have the best relationship. The Underworld King should be with Zhao Li now. If we want to Contact the Underworld King! We must find Zhao Li!"
"Zhao Li? That damned Ghost hasn't been here for a while!" San Qi shook her head!
"Then do you have any Method to Contact him? Or do you know if he has any Secret Strongholds?"
San Qi looked at the Judges suspiciously: "Wait a minute, since Acha escaped the Underworld, and you say the Underworld has changed hands, you guys haven't betrayed the Underworld King, have you?"
The Bald Head Judge and the other Judges exchanged glances. A wry smile appeared on the faces of the Crowd simultaneously.
"San Qi, we are Elders who have followed the Underworld King since the era of the original humans. Naturally, we wouldn't betray her. However, facing that Existence who severely injured Acha with a single Strike, even if we mobilized the entire Underworld's Strength, it would just be like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot – overestimating our own abilities! We can only try our best to appease him for now! Everything depends on finding Acha first!"
"San Qi! This time, we plan to send a large number of Soul Ferrymen to the Mortal Realm to search for the Underworld King's Whereabouts. But they are just a diversion. We need you to go to the Mortal Realm, find Zhao Li, and Contact the Underworld King!"
San Qi looked at the Judges and Instinctively pursed her lips: "You guys really think too highly of me!"
"We truly have no other Method. We've been suppressing the news that the Underworld has changed hands. Fortunately, that one doesn't seem to have much interest in Power. Otherwise, once the news of the Underworld King's disappearance spreads, the entire Underworld will immediately erupt into chaos. If we anger that one, I worry whether the Underworld will even Exist is a question!"
"San Qi, the survival of the Underworld depends on you!"
San Qi stared dumbfounded at the Judges earnestly trying to persuade her, unable to understand how she, a small Meng Po, could possibly be linked to such a major event as the survival of the Underworld!
San Qi lowered her head and thought hard for a long time: "I can go to the Mortal Realm, but I'm not sure if I can find Zhao Li!"
Underworld King Building, top floor. Tang Song sat casually. In front of him was a Beast Ear Eight Trigram Bronze Furnace.
Beneath the bronze furnace, a Fire Core glowed fiercely, emitting raging True Fire.
This fire was not Samadhi True Fire, nor Five Flavors Divine Fire, but Tang Song's Core Fire from his Heart.
When this fire burned, even an ordinary Golden Immortal would be burned until their Soul Scattered and Spirit Destroyed.
One by one, Deity Corpses wrapped in Ice were casually thrown into the furnace by Tang Song. These Deity Corpses turned into Runes in the Flames—
The Runes intertwined, infinite Light and Shadow weaving and tangling together, outlining a beautiful yet terrifying Picture.
Three thousand six hundred Gods from the Pantheon, they were either products transformed from Rule Energy, or Deities like the Aesir and Olympian Gods who relied on Bloodline Inheritance.
Now, in Boss Tang's furnace, they naturally all reverted to their original forms, being Refined into their true appearance. The ultimate Bloodline Power from their Souls was extracted and Fused with their Souls, Refined into some kind of Artifact Spirit-like Existence.
Within the furnace fire, Tang Song's thoughts stirred, and Radiance flowed. Bit by bit, the Deities were burned away in the furnace fire! Turning into colorful, brilliant Radiance! Streams of Spirit Essence, lines of Innate Runes, and bursts of Treasure Light flickered in the furnace fire. Clouds and mist billowed, illuminating more than half of the Room.
Inside the Eight Trigram Furnace, there was a expanse of Firelight—
To the side, several Goddesses draped in thin white gauze had increasingly pale Complexions under the reflection of the Firelight and Treasure Light. They were terrified by this horrific Scene, watching the Calm Tang Song. His indifferent Look seemed to suggest he would throw them into the furnace fire the next moment—
And the furnace fire seemed to be echoing their heartbeats. Inside the furnace, with each breath the fire took, the Flames transformed, conjuring Scenes of Universes being born and destroyed.
Hera watched the Calm Tang Song adding fuel to the furnace. She gritted her teeth, took off the thin white robe draped over her, and walked towards Tang Song, her slender, well-proportioned Body exposed.
The Goddess of Love Venus, seeing Hera's actions, was unwilling to be outdone and also shed the white robe on her Body—
""Heaven and Earth were a chaotic whole, from which all things were born in the beginning. Although there was Qi in the transformation, there was no form."
"...Inside The Void, silent and formless, without Sky or Earth, without Yin and Yang... boundless and limitless, without high or low."
Just as Boss Tang was calmly performing Item Refining, Cultivating the Dao, and comprehending the Dynamic of Yin Yang Movement and Stillness, in the Mortal Realm, Shanghai, about a hundred kilometers from the 444 Convenience Store, near an old Alley shrouded in Thick Mist under the night sky! Several Luxury Cars, like Ghost Knights in the dark night, quickly rushed out of the Thick Mist. They rudely drove over a puddle and stopped at the Roadside. One by one, strong Big men in tight outfits, possessing agile Skill and radiating Killing Intent, poured out of the Vehicles.
These Big men, who looked like they were not to be trifled with, respectfully lined up beside the Car Door of a Mercedes-Benz, bowing in unison.
The Car Door slowly opened, and a thin figure stepped out On the Vehicle. Wearing his signature yellow Trench Coat, with messy hair, a White Shirt underneath, and a Tie that was never properly straightened, he still maintained that perpetually rakish posture in the darkness. A lit Cigarette was even held between his Fingers. Who else could it be but Constantine?
In his left hand, he held the Luopan, said to belong to the legendary pirate Jack Sparrow. He watched the constantly spinning needle of the Luopan and glanced towards the Alley in front of him.
In the Thick Mist, the dark Alley looked like a Ferocious Beast opening its large mouth, waiting for Prey to deliver themselves, appearing extremely full of Terror.
The Door of the Mercedes-Benz Car's Front Passenger Seat was kicked open. Harley Quinn, carrying a Baseball Bat, jumped down from the Front Passenger Seat, frowned, and impatiently swung the Baseball Bat in her hand.
"Well? Can you find those two little Mice?"
"There's some Trouble! A powerful Strength is interfering with the Luopan's direction!" Constantine looked back at Harley Quinn: "But they should be hiding nearby!"
Constantine turned his Gaze towards the Alley not far away—
"Then let's go in and see!"
Harley Quinn snapped her Fingers, and a black Arc Light Shield instantly appeared on her Body. At the same time, over a dozen White Bone Skeleton Demons, more than two meters tall, appeared out of thin air in front of her—
The dozen or so Skeleton Demons howled as they charged towards the Thick Mist not far away—
