# 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!"
