The old emperor and Zhong Kui had no idea that they were being regarded as sacrifices to the Emperor of Fengdu.

At this time, they had already arrived outside the gates of the underworld.

Kong Hanan will naturally return to his original body after disbanding his split spirit, so of course it is impossible for him to accompany him anymore.

With his current identity and influence in the underworld, if he were to appear at the Ghost Gate, the already congested Ghost Gate would probably be paralyzed again.

Therefore, the old emperor and Zhong Kui had to go through the gates of hell on their own.

Zhong Kui may not be well-known, but anyone with some knowledge would recognize the old emperor.

Not to mention that the Mohist mechanism was already able to draw lifelike portraits, even the old emperor loved to go on tours when he was young.

After the unification of the Great Qi Dynasty, the old emperor traveled around many places many times, whether out of interest or to strengthen the majesty of the court, so he was quickly recognized.

However, this will not cause chaos at the Ghost Gate, as the guards at the Ghost Gate do not recognize the old emperor.

Even if there were some who were once martial artists from the State of Qi, they had been dead for who knows how long, so no one cared, and the order at the Gate of Hell was maintained.

Going through the gates of hell with the founding emperor is also a very novel experience, enough for these ghosts in line to brag about in the future.

Fortunately, Kong Hanan had made arrangements beforehand, and the Five Thieves General personally went to the Ghost Gate to greet them and arranged a privileged passage for them, so they passed the long queue and entered the gate.

Zhou Kumen already had a rough idea of ​​what had happened, and hit Zhong Kui with a hammer.

"I told you not to act on impulse. If you can hold back your anger, we in the underworld have plenty of ways to deal with that bastard."

Having said this, Ku Yu suddenly realized that the old emperor was standing beside him and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I didn't mean to scold you."

The old emperor Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"You're right, he's a complete bastard. If the Great Qi didn't have the Prime Minister's hard work to support it, I'm afraid he would have completely defeated it..."

What he said aroused Li Bazi's curiosity.

"Brother Jiang, you knew that Da Qi was doomed, so why were you so calm? After all, this was the empire you founded."

The old emperor smiled heroically.

"After I die, I won't care about the flood..."

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Besides, I can't control it..."

"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore. This Ghost Gate is a crucial pass in the underworld. Won't these people queuing here affect the external war?"

He lowered his posture and was ready to help Kong Hanan and the underworld, so he was naturally very concerned about the war.

Kong Hanan mentioned before that the Buddhist sect occupied the Netherworld and attempted to attack the underworld. The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time.

Zhao Wuchu, who was the main frontline fighter, was stunned.

"Giving them face is the only way to maintain a stalemate. If we weren't counting on them to fight the Wujie for us, we would have destroyed them long ago."

Qian Aishou continued in a low voice.

"Your Majesty has reached an agreement with the Tathagata Buddha. Both sides have temporarily ceased hostilities, so Ghost Gate has resumed its normal function."

After all, the old emperor had just arrived, and he had a vague understanding of the three realms of the earth and the combat capabilities of various races and troops. He inquired carefully.

"Could the five generals please explain the situation in detail?"

Zhou smiled wryly and shook his head.

"We don't know the overall battle situation or the plan. Please come with us to Luofeng Mountain and ask Qin Guang, the chief priest."

As they spoke this, they had already passed the gates of hell and entered the territory of Luofeng Mountain.

A burst of mournful music was heard, its sound was faint, just like the insignificant past events in life; its music was mournful, just like the endless sorrow of separation from loved ones.

It seems like a welcome, but also like a farewell.

The faint sound reached his ears, stirring up the sadness in Zhong Kui's heart...

What Zhou Kumen said before was not without reason.

In the Golden Palace, he was humiliated by the prince and committed suicide in anger.

At first, he was full of resentment and only thought about revenge. Later, he met Kong Hanan and the old emperor. With his idol in front of him, he had no other thoughts for the time being.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful...

My mother hasn't been found yet, and my father has passed away. If I lose him too, I wonder how heartbroken my younger sister will be. Who will I be able to rely on in the future...

He participated in the scientific expedition, hoping to change his status in one fell swoop and protect his family in this chaotic world, but he didn't expect that fate would play tricks on him...

Now, he is about to have a formal position in the underworld and must abide by the rules of the underworld. From now on, humans and ghosts will be separated, and it will be difficult for him to see his sister.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Zhong Kui's face showed sorrow and he was about to cry.

The five thieves and five ghosts are not blood brothers, but they are better than blood brothers. Zhou Kumen is familiar with Zhong Kui, and the other ghosts also have a good impression of him.

Sun Sanjiao patted Zhong Kui on the shoulder.

"Don't be too sad, little brother. You're just distracted by the music. Calm yourself and think of it as exercise. Look at Brother Jiang next to you. He's not as sad as you are."

Zhong Kui was originally feeling sad, but when he was persuaded by the "straight man of science and engineering" Sun Sanjiao, he became furious.

It is human nature to miss relatives in hometown. The person next to me is the founding emperor. How can I be as heartless as him?

Are you speaking human language?

But on second thought, the other party is actually a ghost...

Although Sun Sanjiao's "frank advice" did not make Zhong Kui feel better, this incident did alleviate the discomfort in Zhong Kui's heart.

He turned his head to look and saw Jiang Xiaobai stroking his beard and shaking his head, looking really appreciative.

"Who is this great musician? With such skill, he must have been very famous in his lifetime. I wonder if I've ever seen him?"

Zhou explained bitterly.

"It's not some great master. Brother Zhong Kui might have seen it. In the past, the immortals under the command of the Immortal Saint were captured and played mourning music in the underworld for who knows how many years."

Zhong Kui was stunned.

"Is it them? My younger sister and I went to listen to it, and their performance was really not good..."

Zhou Kumen chuckled.

"Practice makes perfect. Moreover, ever since Dongji Qinghua's struggle with our Lord, their mourning music has become more exquisite. Perhaps it's inspired by their feelings?"

The old emperor patted Zhong Kui on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Don't overthink it. Let's just wait and see what the court and the Prime Minister have to say to us..."

"If it's not enough, Emperor Kong will seek justice for us."

"Young man, how about introducing me to that great musician when you have the chance?"

He just thought that the other party was a great musician who was abducted from the fairyland to the underworld by Kong Hanan, and it would be difficult to meet him.

When he first met the Five Thieves General, he was reluctant to ask for help. Based on their friendship as they entered the underworld at the same time, he went to Zhong Kui for help.

Zhou laughed bitterly.

"Brother Jiang, there's no need to be so. He's just an actor who plays music to entertain the ghosts in our underworld..."

"Qin Jijiu is busy and unable to come to greet you, so I sent a letter to ask them to come to greet you on Qin Jijiu's behalf..."

When the seven ghosts got closer, they found that it was indeed the case. However, there was also a group of ghosts surrounding the Immortal Band, making it impossible to get through.

Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.

"They are..."

Zhou explained bitterly, "They are fans of the Immortal Band, and they are spontaneously protecting their idol..."

"I heard that the Lord intends to use them to win the battle of faith with the Buddha's King of Hell."
