I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

"Stop it..."

Having worked in the Yin Court for a thousand years, Yang Xu had become quite a shrewd person and could immediately see that Xu An was just using clichés.

But I have to admit, he handled it pretty well.

Moreover, from beginning to end, no matter how you look at it, he was just being swept away by the torrent.

There aren't many choices.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei sighed and continued:

"If you captured tens of thousands of wronged souls and brought them back to the underworld on a normal day, I would definitely commend you and promote you. But this time the situation is different..."

Xu An blinked.

He saw that Yang Wei's attitude had softened, and he looked worried and anxious, as if he wanted to talk to someone, so he said:

"Why do you say this, sir?"

Yang Wei stroked his forehead and said:

"The Styx's course was changed intentionally by someone. I cannot shirk my responsibility for this matter, as you know."

Xu An was puzzled.

"Hasn't Meng Po already been asked to plug the gap? Why is your Excellency still so worried? Can you really blame your Excellency for this?"

"..."

Yes, the River Styx is indeed blocked, but the Yellow Springs has collapsed!

With a helpless sigh and a groan, Yang Wei briefly explained:

"The diversion of the Styx is a tactic used by the enemy to lure the enemy away from the mountain."

"He knew that there was no strong man in charge of Yangzhou Yin Court at the moment, so he did this on purpose."

"The purpose is to have us ask Meng Po to attack the Yellow Springs and destroy our Three Realms Reincarnation! Do you understand?"

The moment he heard this, Xu An's ghost body shook.

He looked at Yang Wei in disbelief and asked:

"The Yellow Springs Space was attacked? Who is so audacious?"

"If I knew, would I still be so distressed?"

Yang Wei looked at him as if he were a fool and continued:

"Now, the entire Three Realms of Reincarnation has collapsed, and the bridges connecting all places have been cut off. It won't be long before the entire underworld will realize that something is wrong and report it to the patrol. Chaos is imminent..."

Xu An's brows suddenly furrowed, and he keenly realized that something was wrong.

An idea flashed through his mind, and Xu An looked up at Yang Wei and said:

"My lord, there is something wrong here."

"Ok?"

Yang Wei was very annoyed. After hearing Xu An's words, he couldn't help but ask:

"What do you think? Just tell me."

Xu An nodded and began to unravel the mystery according to his own ideas.

The first strange thing is:

Yang Xu and Meng Po were not sure who the enemy was.

In this case, the mastermind behind the scenes can clearly understand the movements of the powerful Yin Court.

It was just right that he chose to take action when the governor, the Ten Kings of Hell, and other ghost heroes were not around, and destroyed the River Styx.

This shows that those who attacked Huangquan knew everything about Yinting and even had spies among them.

"Hmm...I think so too."

Yang Wei's eyes lit up, and he nodded in affirmation, letting Xu An continue.

Xu An continued:

"But even if they have spies, the bigger problem behind the attack on Huangquan is how they will implement their plan..."

"If there's even one mistake in this kind of calculation, the whole plan will fail."

"How can we guarantee that the Styx will burst its banks and that the Lord will discover it?"

"Even if they discovered it, the first thing they would do is report it to the higher authorities instead of going to Mengpo to take action."

"If Meng Po doesn't take action, it won't be considered a lure away from the tiger, and they won't be able to successfully attack Huangquan and destroy the reincarnation cycle..."

Following his train of thought, Xu An became more and more certain of his guess, but when he uttered the four words "destroy the cycle of reincarnation", he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When he looked up again, he found that Yang Wei was looking at him with his head tilted and his eyes slightly narrowed.

At this distance, Xu An could clearly see that the other person's eyes contained three parts of surprise, four parts of astonishment, two parts of pity, and one part of decisiveness.

Coupled with that pale ghost face, Xu An's heart tightened, his pupils trembled, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his back.

Damn, even a fool can feel what the answer is at this point, right?

Yang Wei is the spy!

Swallowing his saliva, Xu An suddenly wanted to die.

His mind was full of thoughts about earning more life and completing the mission, but he never saw through such an obvious trap?

He even analyzed it carefully in front of him seriously.

Damn it, if I had known this earlier, I would have used the life span I had saved to buy some means like the ability to escape thousands of miles away to save my life.

This distance, in front of Yang Wei.

If he wanted to kill the ghost to silence him, with his strength of the second level of Qi training, he would be killed before he could even fart.

Mu Linjiang, come back soon!

If it weren't for you, would I have ended up in this situation now?

With a conflicting conscience in his heart, Xu An closed his eyes in pain.

Just as he was daydreaming, a sound that made him laugh and cry suddenly came from in front of him.

When Xu An opened his eyes, he found that Yang Wei was shaking his head and smacking his lips, pointing at Xu An and saying:

"When I first met you, I thought you were quite stupid. I didn't expect you were hiding your incompetence... Xu An, but you're not smart enough. You missed one thing."

Yang Wei looked like he was going to show off, like a talkative villain who wanted to show off in front of him.

Xu An, with the attitude of wanting to live a little longer, asked back:

"What did you miss? My Lord, please tell me directly."

"You summarized today's events, the cause and effect, in just a few words. You're really smart."

Restraining his posture, Yang Wei first praised him, then said:

"But have you ever thought that since you can see all this, can't other strong people see my huge Yin Court?"

"If I were a spy, shouldn't I have run away earlier after the mission was accomplished? Why am I still staying here and talking nonsense with you?"

"Wait for the Governor and the Ten Kings of Hell to thoroughly investigate and beat me to pieces, so that I will never be able to reincarnate?"

"Uh…"

Xu An was stunned and picked at his nails a little awkwardly.

What Yang Wei said made a lot of sense, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute it.

However, he didn't show much emotion on the surface, and just asked in a disbelieving tone:

"So, you are not a spy?"

"I am. Who said I'm not a spy?"

Yang Wei looked at Xu An, still maintaining his intelligent demeanor, and could not help but sneer, then continued:

"The reason I didn't leave was because I had prepared a perfect excuse."

"It was you and the woman from the Shangqing Sect who discovered that the Styx had invaded the human world and entered the Yin Court."

"After I chose to report it, no one else said anything. Instead, you and that woman from the Shangqing Sect sang the same tune and asked me to ask Meng Po to take action."

"After the deed is done, you and that woman will immediately leave the underworld and head for the world of the living."

The more Yang Wei spoke, the colder his voice became, and his ghostly eyes shone with a frightening light, as if an endless chill was gathering and crushing down on him from above.

"Xu An, you and that woman are the real spies!"
