The group pressed on, no longer concerning themselves with the whereabouts of Ksitigarbha King.
In fact, after Ksitigarbha King returned, he did not go back to the Underworld. He had always kept Samantabhadra by his side and never left him in the Underworld; this was merely an excuse for Jieyin.
An excuse that would allow them to travel to the east of the Eastern Sea with peace of mind.
At this moment, Ksitigarbha King concealed his aura. Although he could not transform into a rainbow and fly directly through the sky—which greatly slowed down his pace—neither Tongtian nor Wang Yang could detect him, and nobody could sense his presence.
So, bit by bit, he arrived at the foot of Mount Meru and gazed at the mountain, where demonic Qi wreaked havoc, prompting a sincere smile from Ksitigarbha King.
"Who goes there?"
Just as Ksitigarbha King was about to ascend the mountain, two figures shrouded in demonic Qi emerged from Mount Meru and obstructed his path.
