A passerby in a horror movie

In order not to alert the enemy, Li Haotian did not make too many moves with the formation or use it to monitor others.

Instead, they secretly used a grand formation to firmly control the Gate of Hell, ready to close it at any time, and then waited for the opportune moment in the Ghost Emperor's Palace.

Time passed quickly and quietly.

The next day, a large group of underworld officials gathered in the judge's hall in the underworld, where Zhong Kui was located.

The main hall was brightly lit, filled with a festive atmosphere. White lanterns hung on the walls, swaying gently as the underworld officials moved about, casting dappled shadows.

The roof was also decorated with white silk, which fluttered in the breeze.

These underworld messengers were all gathered in front of a white sedan chair. The sedan chair was made of an extraordinary material, radiating a soft glow, and was carved with exquisite patterns and auspicious designs.

The woman sitting in the bridal sedan chair was naturally Zhong Kui's younger sister, Zhong Ling.

Today is Zhong Ling's wedding day. Zhong Kui has prepared a lot of things in advance and has also called on many underworld officials to help, all so that his sister can have a grand and glorious wedding.

"Don't worry, little sister, your brother will definitely help you get married this time."

"As long as you get married, you can be reincarnated in peace, and then I can leave in peace too."

Seeing his younger sister sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Zhong Kui felt a pang of emotion and reluctance.

He paced slowly around the bridal sedan chair, his hands behind his back, his body slightly leaning forward, his eyes full of affection.

He and his sister have been together for over 1000 years, and their bond is incredibly strong.

To be honest, at this moment he really couldn't bear to see his sister reincarnate like this.

However, there was nothing I could do even if I didn't want to.

As time goes by, if Zhong Ling is not reincarnated soon, with the restrictions of heaven and earth becoming increasingly severe and without divine protection, he will eventually be reduced to ashes.

Zhong Ling was aware of this, so she didn't act spoiled or coquettish as before. Instead, she nodded gently and said nothing.

Zhong Ling trusted her brother. She knew in her heart that her brother cared for her very much, and he would take even the smallest things to heart.

Given her brother's feelings for her, he certainly wouldn't marry her off so easily.

Her eyes were full of anticipation, and her mind was filled with all sorts of imaginings about what kind of person she would marry.

Strangely enough, although Zhong Ling is a female ghost with a lifespan of over a thousand years and has been married 18 times, she is a virgin both physically and mentally, and her personality is also very traditional.

Otherwise, in the movie, Zhong Ling wouldn't have offered herself to Li Shimin just because he touched her.

However, perhaps it was fate that Li Shimin's luck actually aligned with Zhong Ling's, which is why Zhong Kui eventually agreed to let them be together.

After all, his sister loved Li Shimin, and they could be reincarnated together, which was a win-win situation.

"Oh, congratulations, Master Zhong! Miss Ling'er is finally getting married. I wish you all the best in advance."

Just as the bridal sedan chair was about to be lifted by the underworld officials, before it had even fully started moving, a short underworld official dressed in white hurried over.

His small body wobbled as he ran, a fawning smile on his face.

The short, ghostly messenger bowed to Zhong Kui with a grin, then took out a red envelope made of folded white paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Oh, you're here too. Perfect timing. I'm missing someone to show me the way, so why don't you come and help me out?"

Zhong Kui accepted the red envelope and said with a smile.

This short ghost messenger was also a messenger from the underworld, originally a high-ranking ghost messenger under the command of Black and White Impermanence.

After the departure of the Black and White Impermanence, this underworld official took over their positions and temporarily led the underworld officials under his command.

However, this white-robed ghost messenger was not very strong after all, barely touching the threshold of the Earth Immortal realm. There were also some higher-level ghost messengers at the same level as him, so his strength and prestige were not enough to suppress these underworld messengers.

Every time he gave an order, there would always be a few underworld officials who would outwardly agree but secretly make trouble behind his back, giving him a huge headache.

Therefore, the white-robed ghost had no choice but to seek out Zhong Kui, hoping to leverage Zhong Kui's prestige to enhance his own power and consolidate his position.

Zhong Kui naturally accepted the white-robed ghost's offer of allegiance, and over time, the two developed a tacit understanding.

With Zhong Kui around, the underworld officials naturally dared not disobey, because they all knew that if they offended Zhong Kui by disobeying him, they would be in deep trouble.

For Zhong Kui, accepting the short ghost messenger would also benefit him, making it a win-win situation.

Having received Zhong Kui's instructions, the short ghost's smile became even brighter, like a blooming wild chrysanthemum.

Then he ran excitedly to the sedan chair, grabbed the two ends of the plaque tightly with both hands, held it high, and began to lead the way.

"Get up the sedan!"

Once the team was ready, Zhong Kui's powerful and majestic voice rang out.

The underworld officials beside the bridal sedan chair quickly and orderly lifted it up.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, and they steadily lifted the bridal sedan chair with both hands.

Then, amidst the swirling eerie winds, the underworld officials carried the bridal sedan chair and slowly moved forward.

A cold wind howled past, rustling the hems of their clothes.

With each step they took, a faint mist rose up and spread around them.

Behind him, some underworld officials were also playing instruments with great effort. The instruments made strange sounds in their hands, sounding both eerie and slightly festive.

The soul-guiding banner fluttered in the wind, its swaying surface seemingly alive, guiding the direction of the procession.

White paper money fluttered down from the sky, falling like snowflakes.

The scene was undeniably eerie; any ordinary person who saw it would likely be terrified to death.

However, this is normal in the underworld, since they are all ghosts, and it would be abnormal if they weren't a bit eerie.

Zhong Ling's wedding was a grand affair, attracting many of the underworld's ghost messengers.

However, they dared not approach and only watched from a distance.

After all, everyone knows that Zhong Kui is eager to marry off his sister and doesn't want to be disturbed, and Zhong Kui is known for his fiery temper.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble or ask for rewards at this time is simply asking for trouble.

Once Zhong Kui loses his temper, he doesn't care about status or position and will directly start a fight.

There were a few fools who didn't know their own limitations before, trying to extort money from Zhong Kui in his territory for a few taels of ghost money.

As a result, Zhong Kui discovered him and sent him flying with a single fan, completely destroying his soul.

Even more ruthless is the fact that Zhong Kui often tears apart underworld officials and swallows vengeful ghosts whole; just thinking about such scenes is enough to send chills down one's spine.

However, quite a few underworld officials came to offer their congratulations. Although they did not step forward, they silently helped clear the way from the side.
