Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Regardless of who wins or loses between the Snow Queen and the Underworld King, Guigu will be able to use this coffin to calmly clean up the mess and become the biggest winner in the end!

Although Xuehuang had never heard of the Xuanming Coffin, she had always trusted the elder who had assisted her for many years and had not thought deeply about his motives.

I just feel that what Guigu said, from the perspective of the Holy Realm, is not entirely unreasonable. It is always better to take some precautions than to be passive in the future.

She pondered for a moment, and then her ethereal voice echoed in the hall: "Since that's the case, to put everyone at ease, I'll trouble the elder to make this trip. Remember to explain the reason to the Baboo family and treat them with courtesy. If they are willing to lend it, that would be best, but we must not force them."

Listening to Guigu's impassioned speech, Xuan Yizi felt that it was somewhat unnecessary to insist on borrowing such weapons of war at the very beginning of the peace talks, and even risked damaging the atmosphere of the talks. However, from the perspective of the Holy Realm, it seemed reasonable to plan ahead.

As a foreign envoy, he couldn't very well speak up and stop them.

Seeing that the first step of his plan had succeeded, Guigu sneered inwardly, but on the surface he became even more respectful and humble, continuing to volunteer to make the trap even more perfect:

"This old minister will certainly treat them with the utmost courtesy. However, the people of the Underworld are cunning and treacherous. It is hard to guarantee that they may have already sent troops to infiltrate the sixth parallel universe with malicious intent, either to cause sabotage or to seize the Xuanming Coffin first. To ensure that the matter of borrowing the treasure goes smoothly, I humbly request that Your Majesty send a capable general to escort this old minister there."

His gaze seemingly unintentionally swept over the generals in the hall, finally landing on Feng Ying, who was tall and had a cold face.

"This old minister humbly requests that Fengying escort you!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yao was greatly surprised.

Because of her underworld bloodline and the indelible black spots on her body, her younger sister was discriminated against in the Holy Army, which revered light. She constantly clashed with other generals, and her personality became increasingly aloof and arrogant as a result.

Elder Guigu has always had reservations about Fengying's bloodline, so why did he suddenly change his mind and specifically ask her to escort him?

Feng Yao was worried that his younger sister's stubborn nature might cause a conflict with Gui Gu on the way, ruining the important mission. He was even more afraid that she would be punished for it, so he quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands, and asked for permission to go.

"This humble general is willing to personally escort Elder Guigu to the Sixth Parallel Universe, and will ensure the safety of the Elder and the secret treasure!"

Guigu shook his head repeatedly, his reasons sounding plausible and unassailable:

"General Feng Yao, I appreciate your kindness. But you are the soul of our Holy Realm, the pillar of our army! Although the Underworld is now talking about peace, the Lion King Squad's infiltration of the Holy Realm is still fresh in our minds. Who can guarantee there are no other conspiracies? The Holy Realm's defenses cannot do without your presence! If you leave, and the Underworld takes the opportunity to launch an attack, who can stop them?"

He changed the subject, looking at Feng Ying, his tone becoming "earnest" and "trusting":

"As for Fengying, as your sister, she is exceptionally capable, which I have always recognized. That is why I specifically asked her for assistance. This trip is not a large-scale campaign; a capable guard will suffice, and Fengying is perfectly suited for the task! I also ask General Fengyao to trust your sister's abilities."

His words were perfectly crafted, praising Feng Yao and emphasizing his indispensability while expressing "approval" and "trust" in Feng Ying, though in reality, they concealed malicious intentions.

Guigu had already noticed the master-disciple relationship between Fengying and Qin Chuan. He specifically asked Fengying to accompany him so that he could frame someone after successfully seizing the Baboo family's alien energy!

At that time, all that is needed is to create some traces of the "underworld's" involvement, and then combine this with the connection between the Wind Shadow and the underworld, so that this mudslinging can be rightfully thrown at the underworld, completely confirming the crime of the Underworld King "sabotaging peace talks and stealing secret treasures"!

Fengying was the key pawn he chose to frame!

Xuehuang had no doubts and felt that Guigu had considered things thoroughly, taking into account both the overall situation and giving Fengying a chance to prove his abilities. Therefore, she finally gave the order:

"Granted. Elder Guigu's words are reasonable. Fengying, you will accompany Elder Guigu to the Sixth Parallel Universe. You must ensure the Elder's safety and assist him in borrowing the Xuanming Coffin from the Baboo family."

Feng Ying stood in the corner, his cold face expressionless, simply clasping his hands in acceptance of the order.

She harbored a deep dislike for Guigu, but the Snow Emperor's order had been given, and military orders were absolute, so she had no choice but to comply.

But deep down, a sense of foreboding crept over me.

Feng Yao looked at his younger sister, his handsome brows furrowed, and a trace of unresolved worry flashed in his eyes.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but with Xuehuang having already made her decision and Guigu having sufficient reasons, he ultimately could not speak and could only suppress his worries in his heart.

Thus, Xuan Yizi's peace negotiation mission can be considered to have been initially completed.

He and Miao Tiaojun, carrying the news that the Snow Emperor had agreed to peace talks, bid farewell to the temple and prepared to return to the Underworld to report to Qin Chuan.

However, just as they were about to board the Xuanwu spaceship and leave the Holy Realm, Miao Tiaojun's uniquely shaped power lock on his wrist suddenly emitted a series of rapid "beep beep" sounds, and the screen lit up, showing a familiar power signal flashing not far away.

"Huh? That's Afei's energy signal! He's nearby!"

Xuan Yizi needed to rush back to the Underworld to report back and could not stay here for long.

Miao Tiaojun's eyes darted around, and he took the initiative to say, "Master, you should go back and report the good news to the King of the Underworld first! I'll go find Afei to meet up with you. Anyway, I can travel through parallel universes on my own, and then the two of us can go to the Underworld to find you together!"

Xuan Yizi, leaning on his snake-head cane, pondered for a moment and decided that it would be good to let the two young men travel with him for training, so he nodded in agreement:

"Be careful in everything, and avoid any unexpected complications."

Having said that, he boarded the Xuanwu alone, and the spaceship transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.

Following the guidance of the superpower lock, Miao Tiaojun quickly met up with Huo Linfei, who was preparing to return to the Underworld with the Lion King team, at the edge of the Holy Realm.

"Ah Fei! I've finally found you!"

Miao Tiaojun excitedly rushed over and patted Huo Linfei's shoulder hard.

Huo Linfei greeted his best friend with a big smile: "Little Fatty, I've missed you so much!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Miao Tiaojun immediately pulled Huo Linfei aside, lowered his voice, and whispered something with a serious expression on his chubby face:

"I have some incredible news for you! The Snow Queen and the Underworld King have successfully reached a peace agreement! Master Xuan Yizi personally conducted the negotiations!"

"Really? That's great! Finally, we don't have to fight anymore!"

Huo Linfei was overjoyed upon hearing this and almost jumped up.

"But! Don't be too happy yet!" Miao Tiaojun quickly covered his mouth, his expression becoming even more serious. "According to the history we know, this peace talks ultimately failed! Hades and Snow Queen still fought, and they even perished together! I suspect the problem lies in what just happened..."

He quickly and clearly recounted what he had overheard in the temple about Guigu going to the sixth parallel universe to borrow the "Xuanming Coffin," how he had cleverly persuaded Xuehuang, and how he had specifically requested Fengying to escort him.

"I always felt that this old guy had ulterior motives! He was so pro-war before, but his sudden change of attitude must be part of a conspiracy!"

Miao Tiaojun touched his double chin and tried to analyze:

"I suspect he just wants to cause trouble in the sixth parallel universe, then frame the underworld to ruin the peace talks!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Linfei's anger flared up instantly, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"That old scoundrel! He spouts righteousness and morality, but his belly is full of schemes and tricks! We absolutely cannot let him succeed! The peace we've been longing for must not be destroyed by him!"

"That's right! We can't just sit idly by!" Miao Tiaojun urged. "Let's sneak over to the sixth parallel universe and see for ourselves! If he's really up to something, we'll expose him on the spot and stop him! Protecting those adorable little Baboo family elves and maintaining cosmic peace depends on the two of us!"

"Alright! Let's do it this way! How could Huo Linfei be left out of something like this, where we uphold justice and save the world!"

Huo Linfei was immediately filled with excitement and a strong sense of mission, as if he could already see himself thwarting the Ghost Valley's conspiracy and being admired by thousands.

After the two had reached an agreement, they found the Lion King, briefly explained the situation, and bid him farewell.

Although the Lion King felt that the two were acting somewhat recklessly, he did not stop them because of Huo Linfei's previous act of loyalty and assistance. He simply told them to be careful in everything they did.

Thus, Miao Tiaojun and Huo Linfei embarked on their journey to the sixth parallel universe.

Chapter 44 Cicada, Mantis, and Oriole

Earth in the sixth parallel universe is like a forgotten paradise in the universe, suspended in the vast sea of ​​stars, emitting a hazy and gentle glow.

The sky was as clear as a flawless sapphire, with a few wisps of clouds drifting by.

On the earth, the vegetation is more lush than imagined, with giant luminous ferns and exotic flowers and plants swaying with starlight vying for attention.

A gentle yet abundant psychic energy flows through the air, like the breath of life, each movement making this land even more vibrant.

The stream is crystal clear, and the riverbed is covered with colorful crystals that seem to sing along with the current.

Compared to the war-torn worlds of other parallel universes, this place is as peaceful and serene as an eternal, beautiful dream, where time seems to slow down.

The members of the Baboo family, those tiny, winged, adorable creatures, are like spirits of nature, enjoying a peaceful and undisturbed life here.

Curious and friendly, they frolicked in groups among the flowers, their clear and melodious "Baboo~Baboo~" sounds like celestial music that cleansed the soul, echoing through the valley and forest.

When Fengying followed Guigu into this dreamlike land, what greeted their eyes was this breathtakingly peaceful scene.

Her sharp combat attire seemed somewhat out of place against the gentle surroundings.

Even the knots in my heart seemed to be soothed somewhat in this tranquil place, and my tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

However, apart from the treacherous Guiguzi, who could have imagined that a meticulously planned, ruthless bloodbath was about to taint this paradise and turn this heaven into hell?

Guigu was cunning and shrewd. He first pretended to formally visit the patriarch of the Baboo family with Fengying.

He spoke earnestly, his face filled with sorrow, and solemnly requested to borrow the fictitious "Mysterious Coffin" on the grounds of "preventing threats from the underworld and maintaining cosmic peace."

The result was naturally that they returned empty-handed.

Chief Baboo blinked his pure, innocent eyes in confusion, emitting a series of rapid, clear cries, clearly stating that his tribe, who had lived here for generations, had never had, nor ever heard of, a treasure called the "Coffin of the Mysterious Netherworld."

Leaving the village inhabited by Baboo and wandering through the glowing forest, Guigu showed no disappointment whatsoever; instead, he wore a sorrowful expression that said, "Just as I thought."

He stopped and sighed at the silent figure beside him, his voice filled with helplessness and understanding:

“Fengying, you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears. It’s not that the Xuanming Coffin doesn’t exist, but rather that the Baboo family is ultimately unwilling to lend out this priceless treasure, so they simply claim it doesn’t exist. Alas, possessing a treasure is a crime, it’s understandable, it’s understandable…”

Upon hearing this, Feng Ying's handsome brows furrowed tightly.

Although her contact with the Baboo family was brief, she could clearly feel their purity, kindness, and naiveté.

How could such a race, with hearts as clear as crystal, collectively lie for something external?

Her suspicion of Guigu grew rapidly like vines, and her intuition screamed in her mind, warning her that this old man was no good and that his purpose for this trip was definitely not simple.

Guigu seemed completely oblivious to Fengying's increasingly sharp and suspicious gaze, or rather, he simply didn't care about her thoughts.

He merely sneered and proceeded to make arrangements on his own:

"Since they refuse to lend it, for the sake of the universe, we have no choice but to search for it ourselves! Fengying, let's split up and expand the search area. We must find clues to the Xuanming Coffin on this planet!"

Before Fengying could respond, Guigu's figure flickered, a faint light emanating from his body. He transformed into a dim stream of light and sped off in one direction, instantly disappearing into the depths of the dense and strange forest. His aura was deliberately concealed to the point of near nothingness.

Just as Feng Ying was about to secretly follow him to find out what he was up to, a group of warriors dressed in dark armor of the underworld suddenly appeared like ghosts from the forest filled with fluorescent spores and accurately blocked her way.

The leading squad leader stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Feng Ying, then lowered his voice, his tone urgent and indignant:

"Lord Fengying! We have come here on the secret orders of the King of the Underworld to assist you in stopping Guigu's shocking conspiracy! The King of the Underworld is wise beyond measure and had long anticipated that Guigu would come to the Sixth Parallel Universe to commit evil, so he ordered us to lie in wait here and await your command!"

Feng Ying's heart suddenly stirred.

Qin Chuan's image emerged in her mind, and his profound wisdom and strength made her instinctively inclined to trust him.

The underworld squad leader continued, his tone even more indignant:

"Ghost Valley plans to launch an attack during the Baboo family's once-in-a-millennium 'Heavenly Origin Festival' held at the Tiantan Volcano, killing all the Baboo people and seizing their alien energy! They will then disguise it as the actions of our Underworld warriors, framing Lord Hades and completely destroying the peace talks between the Holy Realm and the Underworld!"

These words sound logically sound and are rich in informational details, almost perfectly matching Guigu's previous unusual behavior and words.

Feng Ying was already deeply disappointed with the Holy Realm, and the scales in her heart had long since tipped towards the Underworld. If it weren't for the consideration of her parents' and brother Feng Yao's positions, she might have already gone to the Underworld to seek refuge with her master.

Hearing that Guigu was about to carry out such an inhumane attack on the kind-hearted Baboo family, her heart was filled with both righteous indignation and rage, and she began to believe seven or eight tenths of what these "underworld warriors" were saying.

"We must not let his plot succeed!"
