"What to do? What... what to do?" Wang Yao stared at Wuying.

"I...I'll take you to find Hui Shuo right away, and bring...bring that monk over..." Wu Ying stammered.

"You remember this place?" Wang Yao asked.

"I'll remember it, even in death I'll never forget it!" Wuying hurriedly replied.

“Okay, let’s go there now!” Wang Yao nodded, and the black mist beneath Wuying rose again. Wang Yao felt as if it was just a blur, but he found himself in a commercial plaza.

Looking around, the huge square was covered with ghosts lying on the ground, and a dozen or so Minions were jumping around happily on the fallen ghosts.

As ghostly screams echoed from all directions, waves of ghosts rushed toward the Minions from various intersections around the shopping plaza, driving them away from the plaza little by little.

The ghosts rush over, push the Minions back a little, and then they fall down. The Minions then move forward again. Another wave of ghosts rushes over, and the Minions are pushed back a little again. The ghosts fall down again, and the Minions continue to move forward. This scene repeats endlessly.

Aside from the increasing number of fallen ghosts, it seems there will be no further changes.

Wang Yao was anxious, so he darted out and used "Liuli" to turn all the Minions in the square into chimneys.

Upon seeing this, the ghosts blocking the way around the square shouted and cheered.

"Hui Shuo! Where are you? Hui Shuo?" Wang Yao was worried about Huang Sheng and ignored the ghosts that were yelling at him. He called out repeatedly towards the blockade.

"Lord Yue... Lord Yue, this humble servant... this humble servant has asked Master Hui Shuo to go to the shuttle station." The Lord of the Samsara Dao jumped out of the blockade and greeted Wang Yao with a smile. Hearing Wang Yao's call, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"The shuttle platform? What do you want him to do there?" Wang Yao asked anxiously.

“That…that’s the main road to the Sixth District of the West. I’m afraid the corpse energy will spread into the Sixth District of the West. Besides, Master Huishuo is a friend of the Immortal, so it’s relatively…relatively safer there.” The Lord of the Samsara Dao hurriedly explained.

His arrangement for Hui Shuo to guard the main road to the West Sixth District at the shuttle station was indeed well-intentioned. As a powerful external force to block the corpse energy, the most reasonable arrangement would naturally be to go wherever the pressure was. However, Hui Shuo was indeed too tired, and the Dao Lord intended for him to rest properly.

The loss of the passage to the Underworld was largely due to Hui Shuo falling asleep while chanting scriptures. If it weren't for the many adoring ghosts around him who managed to pull him away from the Minions' attack, Hui Shuo himself would probably have been trapped in the corpse energy.

The sudden fall of the blockade caught the second line of defense off guard. Wang Yao was also late in arriving, and many of the Hui Shuo Ai Mu ghosts with protective shields disappeared during the retreat. As a result, the second line of defense painstakingly built by the Dao Lord of Samsara could not prevent the invasion of corpse energy.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and more than ten ghosts fell down. Even if you wanted to organize suicide ghosts to intercept the Minions, you simply couldn't do it. In the chaos, the Lord of the Cycle of Reincarnation had no choice but to temporarily withdraw the second line of defense and completely abandon the Underworld Affairs Zone.

On the way back to the underworld, he learned the reason why the first line of defense had been lost, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Floor Zero is quite spacious. Losing a small section within a large area isn't a big problem; there's still plenty of room for maneuver.

But if you offend the only person left on floor zero who can subdue the corpse puppets and use magic to save the underworld, then you'll be in big trouble.

Now that King Pingdeng and Guqi have gone upstairs, it won't be long before the immortals come down; otherwise, Guqi wouldn't have left. Everyone's hopes are pinned on Wang Yao. If something goes wrong with Wang Yao's friends because of my negligence, it will be too late for anything I say.

The Daoist Master examined the reason why Hui Shuo almost fell into the trap and found that he had been a ghost for too long and had completely forgotten the difference between ghosts and humans. In fact, it wasn't that he forgot, but that he simply didn't care.

After all, Gu Qi had already made arrangements for Hui Shuo's meals. Although there wasn't much food in the human realm on Floor Zero, it was enough to feed Hui Shuo for several years.

So when the Lord of the Cycle of Reincarnation discovered that Gu Qi had made arrangements for Hui Shuo, he stopped paying attention. However, he did not expect that Hui Shuo would have other physiological needs besides eating and nourishing himself.

Going to the toilet or something is fine, since the hallway is spacious, Hui Shuo can find a secluded spot to relieve himself without any problem. At most, everyone can play hide-and-seek with the Minions. Once Hui Shuo returns, the defenses will be stable.

But there's no way to get him to sleep. Everyone at the blockade is counting on Hui Shuo alone. There's a lack of high-level cultivators like Ghost Masters and Ghost Geniuses to share the burden with Hui Shuo. Even though Hui Shuo sits there chanting sutras and doesn't seem to be doing any strenuous exercise, he can't stand it for long.

Although Wang Yao also arranged for Huang Sheng to send a message to the rear, requesting the dispatch of ghost warriors and ghost talents for support, at that time every blockade point was in dire need of help. Even if the Lord of the Samsara Path wanted to send them, he was powerless to do so. He even exhausted Hui Shuo to the point of falling asleep while chanting scriptures, which led to the collapse of the entire defense line.

After summarizing the reasons for Hui Shuo's danger and the fall of the first line of defense, the Lord of the Samsara Dao decided to send Hui Shuo to the shuttle platform to defend the passage between the West Fifth and West Sixth Districts. The reason was naturally that it was more important than the Underworld Residence District.

After all, the entire underworld's higher-ups are currently focused on the Western Fifth District, leaving the Western Sixth District essentially undefended. If it were to be invaded by corpse energy or the Minions, the entire district could fall.

Secondly, that place is quite far away, and it will take some time for the corpse energy to dissipate. Moreover, by leading the main force to attract the attention of the Minions, I can buy Hui Shuo some time to rest. Once Hui Shuo has had enough sleep, he will naturally be a strong guardian again, and we can rest assured about the situation in the Western Sixth District.
