As soon as Zhao Youliang and the others saw the Yin Spirit Chariot, it slowly started and drove towards them.

Under the headlights, the large white floral cloth hanging in the middle of the front of the car was particularly eye-catching.

Upon seeing this, the grasshopper spirit's already green face turned even greener with fright.

"Oh no! We're being pursued from the front and blocked from the back! What are we going to do?!"

At this moment, Zhao Youliang was in no mood to listen to the grasshopper spirit's opera. With a quick glance, he decided to "choose the lesser of two evils".

He suddenly turned around, wanting to deal with the ghost car following behind him and fight his way out.

But at that very moment, a dark hole suddenly appeared, or rather, it appeared directly in front of the ghost car.

Then the ghost car slowly drove in.

The ghosts inside continued to wave at Zhao Youliang and the others, as if saying goodbye or summoning them.

After the ghost carriage disappeared, four ghost messengers dressed in ancient official robes emerged from the extremely cold black hole.

The leader of the group was holding something that resembled an imperial edict.

It was the same person who had given Zhao Youliang the shackles and chains before.

Upon seeing Zhao Youliang amidst the chilling wind, she was taken aback for a moment before cautiously greeting him.

"Lord Zhao?"

"Is the young general not nearby?!"

As he spoke, the ghost messenger looked terrified, as if he were afraid that the young general would suddenly jump out and startle him.

Upon seeing a "familiar face," Zhao Youliang quickly jogged over.

"Don't worry, brother, the young general isn't here, but..."

Zhao Youliang wanted to warn him, but there was a ghostly carriage ahead.

Before he could finish speaking, the ghost messenger let out a long sigh of relief and interrupted him.

"It's good that he's not here, it's good that he's not here!"

"As long as the young general is not here, the world will be at peace!"

"Oh, by the way, Lord Zhao, the reason we've come is twofold: first, to collect a debt—the enormous karmic debt you owe."

"Secondly, they came to guide us..."

Before the ghost messenger could finish speaking, he spotted the spirit chariot not far ahead.

His expression changed drastically, and he became extremely furious.

"How dare you!"

"You disturber of Yin and Yang, how dare you appear before us messengers of the underworld? Don't you know the meaning of death?!"

Having said that, he didn't waste any more words and floated over amidst the gloomy wind, carrying his mourning staff.

The other three ghost messengers followed closely and surrounded the Yin Spirit Chariot from different directions.

Surprisingly, the Yinlingche did not immediately flee when faced with the ghost messengers, whom even great cultivators feared.

Instead, countless black iron chains extended out, attempting to pull the four ghost messengers onto the carriage.

The ghost messengers became even angrier upon seeing this and immediately began fighting with the Yin Spirit Chariot.

The Yinling chariot retreated deeper into the Netherworld Road while fighting, and the ghost messengers naturally pursued it closely.

Seeing this, Liao Zhiyuan spoke softly to Zhao Youliang.

"Quantum Bro, should we chase after them and help them?"

Zhao Youliang was young and a passionate young man, so he was naturally enthusiastic about helping the police catch thieves.

Hearing this, he was about to nod in agreement when he was jolted awake by a bucket of cold water poured on him by the grasshopper spirit.

"Quantum, are you stupid?!"

"You even went to help... The ghost messengers came to collect your karmic debts. Do you have that much good karma to repay them?"

"If your karma isn't good enough, shouldn't I immediately drag you down to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer?!"

"Huh?!" Zhao Youliang immediately realized: Yes, they came to collect a debt from him.

"Old Immortal, I really don't remember owing so much karmic debt. Do you think the underworld might have made a mistake?"

"A mistake?!" The grasshopper spirit sneered. "Even if it's a mistake, what can you do about it?"

"It's like a bank in the mortal world. Even if it makes a mistake, what can you do? Where can you seek justice?!"

"Besides, there are mysteries surrounding reincarnation, so it would be strange if you could remember things from before!"

Zhao Youliang was speechless for a long time, because what the grasshopper spirit said made perfect sense.

Although Zhao Youliang was unaware of how unreasonable the debts from the underworld could be, he was well aware of how domineering banks could be.

The phrase "no responsibility after leaving the counter" alone says it all.

The key question is whether this irresponsibility is solely the bank's fault; depositors must be responsible to the bank...

Upon realizing this, Zhao Youliang no longer dared to chase after them to help, and immediately tried to run back to his paper-making shop.

Zhao Youliang felt the need to return home was because of the following reasons:

If the ghost messengers chase you to your home, you will use a small wooden knife to pay off your debt.

Judging from the young general's past miraculous performance, the ghost messengers shouldn't make things too difficult for him.

At least... at least I'll have more time to accumulate good karma and repay my debts...

Just then, Li Mao's voice suddenly rang out.

"Quantum, don't run away yet, let's get in the car!"

"The ghost is gone, but the car is still here!"

"I wonder what they drove in just now... Don't tell me cars have ghosts, or that they drove the car's soul away..."

Fortunately, the car was able to start normally.

Li Mao sped along, and after a while, he finally escaped the Netherworld Road and saw the bright sunshine again.

Even more fortunately, the ghost messengers did not chase after them until they entered the town and reached the back door of the paper-making shop.

It seems they're too busy capturing the Yinlingche to have time to collect their debt from Zhao Youliang.

Upon arriving at the hall, Zhao Youliang was astonished to find the seven siblings of the silly roe deer dressed in mourning clothes, sitting around the brazier burning paper money while weeping.

"Huh?! What's wrong with those old immortals?"
