Shen Luo's voice fell, and once again, silence encompassed the outside.
"If I remember correctly, it was the Heavenly Court that first fell, followed by the Demon Clan's attack on the Underworld, right?" A moment later, Shen Luo broke the silence and spoke up.
"Correct," Zhong Kui answered.
"In that case, the Underworld should have been prepared, so why did it suffer such a quick defeat that year?" Shen Luo continued to inquire.
After a long while, Zhong Kui's voice finally came through:
"That year... the events of that year were also quite mysterious. In theory, with the arrangements made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, even if we ultimately couldn't resist the Demon Clan, we wouldn't have lost so swiftly, so miserably. So much so that for many years afterward, we were criticized, accused of being surrenderists, people claimed we hadn't resisted at all."
