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

How the hell do I know?

Yang Wei was depressed. He had been a magistrate for so many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

The Styx possesses immense power. Even if he is the judge of the underworld and can mobilize some of the power between heaven and earth, it is not enough to repair the two worlds.

What's more, he couldn't understand why the barrier between the underworld and the human world suddenly had such a big hole in it?

What's the difference between this and the sky falling?

The matter was too big for him to handle.

Forcing himself to calm down, he looked at the chief clerk who had been by his side for many years:

"Go there in person and report this to the Inspector General... No, report it directly to the Ten Kings of Hell!"

When talking about the provincial governor, he clearly felt that even his superior might not be able to solve the problem, so he could only report it to a higher level.

"inappropriate!"

The chief clerk's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped him:

"Sir, if I report this to a higher authority, what will happen if the inspector blames me in the future?"

"Then what do you mean?"

Yang Wei reacted instantly, but there were a bunch of ghosts watching here, so he couldn't say anything.

"We should report this to the Inspector General first, and then the Inspector General will report it to the Ten Kings of Hell. They will decide what to do then!"

"That makes sense, let's do it!"

Yang Wei made the decision and the chief clerk set off immediately.

In front of Xu An and Mu Linjiang, he reached into the underworld, summoned scattered bones, circulated Yin Qi, and constructed a bone horse.

As if he was afraid that the bone horse was not fast enough, he pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and the whole bone horse was burning with blue flames, carrying him across the underworld and straight to the governor's place.

"..."

Xu An watched from the side without saying a word.

It’s worthy of being called Yinting, it looks like this.

But just as he was silently complaining in his heart, a light screen flashed before Xu An's eyes, and a task appeared:

[Limited Time Mission: The Styx tears through the barrier and flows into the human world. Find a solution before the Ten Kings of Hell send back a message.]

[Completion Reward: Lifespan +300 days.]

Xu An: “???”

My goodness, how can he solve the problem that even Yang Wei and Mu Linjiang couldn’t solve?

What's more, even if he has a way, is it his turn to speak here?

Beside him, Mu Linjiang frowned slightly, looking at the huge crack that seemed like the abyss of heaven, then turned to look at the chief clerk who was leaving in a cloud of dust, and couldn't help asking:

"Master Yang, how long will it take for him to come back?"

Yang Wei turned around and said politely:

"At least one or two days, at most three days, and you will definitely be back."

"The barrier between the underworld and the human world has been torn apart. Are you going to wait for me here for several days?"

Mu Linjiang's voice trembled slightly, revealing disbelief.

The low efficiency of the Yin Court was refreshing her cognition.

"This matter is of great importance, and it's hard for me to make a decision. Moreover, what's being torn apart is the barrier between the underworld and the human world. With our strength, it's no less than asking mortals to mend the sky. We are truly powerless!"

Yang Wei's voice was heavy, and at the end he sighed and shook his head, as if he really wasn't to blame.

Mu Linjiang's heart was beating fast and her breathing became much faster. She glanced at the group of ghosts, big and small, standing on the dry shore.

Everyone she saw looked up at the sky, stared at the earth, scratched their hands and touched their hair, but no one dared to speak.

The accumulated emotions surged up, and she turned to stare at Xu An, who was obviously more handsome than the other ghosts beside her, and asked:

"Is there anything you can do?"

"I?"

When suddenly asked, Xu An blinked his eyes and asked, "What does this have to do with him?"

"Xu An, if you have any ideas, just tell me."

Seeing that the young lady was furious and about to explode, Yang Wei quickly joined in.

Anyway, he didn't think Xu An could do anything.

At that time, as long as I agree with Xu An and say that there is really no other way, I can get away with it.

It has nothing to do with system tasks.

He was completely worried about both the underworld and the human world, so Xu An felt obliged to do so:

"There is indeed a way."

"Look, fairy, there really is no solution... press?"

Yang Wei was just about to continue speaking along the lines of Xu An's words, but his eyes widened in an instant, and he realized something was wrong.

No, what the hell can you do?

What's your business?

"You said."

Mu Linjiang's eyes lit up. She had just asked casually when she was annoyed, but she didn't expect Xu An to give her a positive answer.

"Whether it's the Governor or the Ten Kings of Hell, the final outcome of their discussion will inevitably be to find a way to repair this crack. They can't leave it untouched, right?"

"nonsense."

Yang Wei rolled his eyes and had the urge to slap Xu An to death.

Several impermanent soldiers, the leader of the ghost army, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face all looked at him as if he were a fool.

Where did this conspicuous bag come from?

Don’t you know that at this time, you should talk less and not move around?

Are there any bigwigs who can make the decision?

Xu An gritted his teeth and continued to explain:

"Since the final result is like this, it wouldn't be wrong for us to try to fix it now. Even if the Inspector General and the Ten Kings of Hell knew about it, they wouldn't blame us."

"Then come and show me how to make up for it!"

Yang Wei was almost laughing out of anger. Anyone would know that if he just blocked the hole, the problem would be solved.

What can I do to make up for it?

This is the River Styx!

That crack is a space barrier!

It is not something that ordinary people or ghost monks can solve.

Don’t I, Yang Xu, want to solve it?

I simply don’t have that ability!

"You are joking, sir. Of course, I don't have this ability, but that doesn't mean others don't have it."

Xu An had thought of this possibility before he spoke, so he didn't care about the sarcasm.

After all, all this is for Yang... no, for the stability of the two worlds, and for the people of the world.

"Ok?"

The ghosts nearby who heard Xu An's words all looked at Mu Linjiang at the same time.

Yes, she is the strongest one here.

If even the Yin Court can break in, then doesn't the task of repairing the sky have to be left to you?

Mu Linjiang was slightly stunned by the sight of her eyes, and then she shook her head:

"I still have some strength to deal with the Styx in the Yang world, but I can't repair the rift between the two worlds. What's more, this is the Yin Court. I am not as strong as you think..."

She felt that it might be because she had changed the course of the Styx in the human world, avoiding the village, giving Xu An the illusion that he was very powerful.

But in fact, she knew her own strength, and she was far from being considered strong in the entire Three Realms.

After all, she hasn't become an immortal yet.

"I know Fairy Linjiang is powerless, but are there no other powerful people in Yin Court who can arrive immediately?"

Seeing that they had not yet broken free from their limited thinking, Xu An couldn't help but ask back.

"Other powerful ones?"

Yang Wei's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Mu Linjiang.

He clearly saw similar thoughts in the latter's eyes.

"Who is the strongest?"

Beside them, several people who were ordered to do things like the God of Death, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and the commanders of the ghost soldiers were a little confused.
