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

Looking at the chief clerk of Yinting, there were also people who obeyed orders obediently.

Xu An was certain that this was still a world of immortals and heroes, and as long as one had the strength, whatever they said was right.

However, all this has nothing to do with him now. He doesn't even know who this ridiculously strong woman is.

"I don't want to hear these words."

Looking at them calmly, the woman turned to the magnificent Tongpan Mansion, which was filled with gloomy air, and said in a clear voice:

"Mu Linjiang of the Shangqing Sect, I have something to ask the judge. Please show yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Yin Ting Chief Clerk and several of the impermanent officials who were ordered to do so could not help but exchange glances.

In the human world, the Shangqing Sect is an unrivaled sect with a long history, a strong following, and numerous disciples. Many of its disciples have walked out of the heavenly gate and overcome tribulations to become immortals.

But haven't they always been focused on the human world, slaying demons and protecting mortals?

It has nothing to do with the Yin Court at all, so why did you come here today?

"So it's Fairy Linjiang who's here. Feel free to ask if you have anything to say."

The government gate opened, and the magistrate Yang Wei appeared wearing a gauze hat and official uniform.

Behind him, countless ghost spirits from the underworld lingered and gathered into clouds, filling half the sky with darkness.

This is his territory, and part of the power of the Yin Court here is also under his control.

But even so, when facing this woman, he still felt like a mortal facing mountains, which was difficult to overcome.

In this dark place, she will definitely not find any rival.

"The Yangzhou Earth Dragon is turning upside down, causing countless casualties. As the judge of the Yin Court, you think you have nothing to do here?"

Seeing Yang Wei greeting him with a smile, Mu Linjiang's voice was filled with questioning and mockery.

She has been practicing in Shangqing Sect for a hundred years and has never cared about worldly affairs. Until recently, she encountered a bottleneck in her practice and her master told her that she should go to the human world to refine her mind and seek a breakthrough.

So she went down the mountain with great anticipation.

But over the past few years, he has seen all the sufferings in the world and gradually realized that refining elixirs and drawing talismans cannot save the world, and practicing medicine cannot cure diseases either.

The root of the problem is that the monks who are supposed to protect the human world, as well as those who are deified and enter officialdom, do nothing.

So, what she should do is to go there in person and wake these guys up.

After hearing that a dragon had turned over in Yangzhou and affected innocent people, she came here specifically to see the extent of the disaster. Unexpectedly, before the wailing everywhere was resolved, the Styx invaded the human world first.

If she doesn’t look for Yin Ting, who else can she look for?

"Why am I free now?"

Yang Wei's face showed confusion.

He's been so busy these days, and he has so much to complain about, and this girl came to his door and blamed him...

Whether you are a human or a ghost, you should at least have some conscience, right?

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Mu Linjiang said unhappily:

"The River Styx invaded the human world, and your underworld was busy expanding its territory? How could you care about the dead?"

"The River Styx invaded the human world? Is this really possible?"

Yang Wei stared with wide eyes, looking at his chief clerk and the man who obeyed orders:

"Did you know?"

"I really don't know..."

The Chief Clerk and Wuchang looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never heard of it.

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

Mu Linjiang looked at them in disbelief, a trace of suspicion flashed through his heart, and he pointed at Xu An:

"He was there when the Styx invaded the human world and can testify."

Yang Wei, the chief clerk, and Feng Ming Wuchang all looked at him immediately.

He looked as if he was asking, "How come you have something to do with this?"

"Sir, I saw it with my own eyes. The Styx tore through the heavens and earth and flowed through the human world."

Xu An's scalp tingled, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't afford to offend either side, so he decided to tell the truth.

"Fairy Linjiang, we really didn't know about the Styx invading the human world."

Although he felt unhappy that Xu An was involved in such a matter right after joining the company and even brought the human cultivators back to the underworld, Yang Wei did not intend to blame him.

After all, even if it were me, I would have no other choice if I met such a lady in the human world.

However, the invasion of the Styx into the human world was indeed something he had never encountered in his thousand years as an official.

You must know that the Styx is the root of the underworld. Wherever it flows, it will emit a large amount of yin energy, changing the structure of heaven and earth and turning it into the underworld.

If the River Styx really invades the human world, it won't be long before that area of ​​the human world will become the underworld and all mortals will disappear.

As an official of the Yin Court, he does have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

But the problem is, he really doesn't know!

"Even if you don't know, why are you just waiting here?"

Mu Linjiang was very angry. Today she had witnessed the inefficiency and bloat of Yinting.

This was not done by Yang Wei and his men. That was their own river, and it flowed into the human world. How come we still don’t know anything about it?

She had to go to the door in person before she realized it?

"Quick, pass the word, thoroughly check the Styx for breaches!"

Yang Wei reacted immediately, turned around and roared at the Chief Clerk and Fengming Wuchang, then looked at Mu Linjiang and bowed:

"Don't worry, fairy. I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Quick, take people to patrol the Styx and see where there is a breach!"

The chief clerk and several people who were ordered to do so dispersed instantly, taking with them a group of ghost soldiers in the city, as well as the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and mobilizing many ghost heroes, and began to search along the River Styx.

While waiting, Yang Wei pulled Xu An to a place not far away and asked:

"Didn't you ask Wang Ben to take you to catch wandering ghosts? Where's his ghost?"

Although Sanniu abandoned Xu An, Xu An was not the type of person to kick someone when they were down. He quickly explained:

"Wang Ben is dedicated to his duties. Even though the Styx has invaded the human world, he still remembers his duties as a ghost messenger and is still catching ghosts. I can only take her to the underworld first."

Yang Wei was not stupid. He could tell at a glance that Xu An was covering for Wang Ben. He couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart and stopped asking questions.

"Report!"

Soon, some ghost soldiers came running at a very fast speed.

"Reporting to the Magistrate, a breach has been discovered in the main road of the Styx a hundred miles outside the city!"

Yang Wei's ghost body trembled slightly, and he looked at Mu Linjiang.

Taking Xu An with them, the three guys followed the ghost soldiers out of the city and quickly approached the place where the Styx burst.

When he arrived at the place, Xu An looked up and saw that a huge hole had been torn open on the bank of the vast Styx, which was as wide as a river, connecting the underworld and the human world.

The surging waters of the Styx, like huge waves, are flowing continuously along the torn area and rushing towards the human world.

The cold air between heaven and earth has gathered into clouds visible to the naked eye, constantly surging along the river.

On the shore, countless lonely ghosts who heard the news and rushed over to watch the excitement, as well as ghost soldiers and ghost officials, filled the dry shore in a black mass.

"Although this is a weak point between the two realms, there has never been a passage between the underworld and the human world. How could it be torn apart for no reason?"

Yang Wei's voice trembled slightly, and the whole ghost instantly realized that something terrible had happened and this was no longer something he could handle.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The chief clerk was standing next to him, also swallowing his saliva.

If the River Styx was just a small breach, they could still try to repair it.

But now, the two worlds are torn apart, how can we use our heads to patch them up?
