Chapter 182

Previously, Emperor Fengdu and Lady Pingxin had plotted to send Daoist Minghe to the Western Religion, tricking the Two Saints of the West into dispatching their disciple to the eighteenth layer of the Netherworld to convert and guide the fierce and wicked ghosts. This strategy involved a certain element of a gamble. The gamble was that the Two Saints of the West valued Merit and Karmic Luck so highly that they would overlook the true state of affairs in the Netherworld. Fortunately, when Daoist Minghe went to the Netherworld, Sage Zhunti was already in secluded cultivation, leaving only Saint Jieyin in the Western Religion to manage the overall situation. Because of this, the Western Religion so easily walked right into the trap and sent Mile, one of their elite disciples, into the Netherworld.
