Chapter 1381 Reporting to the Underworld

"Your name is Mei Xianzhang?"

"Replying to God, yes."

"Your name is Xuanying?"

"Replying to God, yes."

Judge Cui looked at the two men's appointment documents and said in surprise, "It's very rare for Taixuan Province to directly send True Immortal Realm cultivators to the underworld to serve as ghost messengers."

Wei Zheng, who was standing by, was also a little confused. He looked at Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying and asked, "Did you offend anyone?"

Mei Xianzhang shook his head and said, "No."

"That's strange," Wei Zheng said. "Why didn't the Taixuan Province keep you two as officials in the Heavenly Palace, but instead sent you to the underworld to serve as ghost messengers? With your abilities, being ghost messengers is really a bit of a waste of your talents."

Zhong Kui asked Judge Cui, "Can you see their origins?"

Judge Cui shook his head and said, "He has no background, just an ordinary cultivator, neither a Buddhist nor a Taoist."

"Oh, so you don't have any backing." Zhong Kui said with a smile, "It's nice to be under a big tree for shade, and it's easy to be an official if you have someone above you. This is an eternal truth."

Mei Xianzhang said in surprise, "My fellow gods, regardless of the size of your official position, we all serve the Heavenly Court. Do we still need to distinguish between high-ranking and low-ranking officials?"

Zhong Kui looked at Mei Xianzhang and said, "Little girl, it's a good idea for you to have this idea. We are just a little weird."

At this time, Judge Cui said to the two men, "Bring out your Tianlu gold seals for inspection."

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying immediately took out the Tianlu Golden Seal from the Niwan Palace, and handed it forward to Judge Cui.

"Yes, it's verified to be correct." Judge Cui nodded, then said to Bai Wuchang below: "Bai Wuchang, these two people will be assigned to your command and will be under your command."

After the recent restructuring, the underworld now has ten "ghost generals": the Ghost King, the Day-Wandering God, the Night-Wandering God, the Black Impermanence, the White Impermanence, the Ox-Head, the Horse-Face, the Leopard Tail, the Bird's Beak, the Fish's Gills, and the Wasp. They command all the ghost generals, ghost soldiers, and ghost messengers in the underworld, and all matters concerning the capture of souls in the mortal world are under the control of the ten ghost generals.

Bai Wuchang respectfully accepted the order and first stepped forward to take the imperial edict from Judge Cui. Then he said to Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying, "You two, follow me."

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying bid farewell to the four judges, and then followed Bai Wuchang away.

Bai Wuchang first brought the two to where the ghost officials lived. "This is where you will live in the underworld from now on. The two rooms in front are yours. After you move in, remember to remove the seals on them, otherwise be careful of other ghost officials who will break in."

Upon hearing this, Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

Bai Wuchang glanced at the talisman in his hand. "You two are...oh? You're in charge of the soul-binding mission in the Great World of Cang Tian. It just so happens that the ghost messengers heading to the mortal world to capture souls are in groups of two. Since you two came together, you two are a group. However, the Great World of Cang Tian has been quite unstable recently, so you two should be careful. If you have any questions, you can come to Wuchang Palace to find me."

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying nodded again and accepted the order. Then Bai Wuchang told them to settle down and go to Bai Wuchang Palace to find him the next day, and then he left.

Afterwards, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying removed the seals on their respective houses and yards, and after settling in, they rested without saying a word all night.

The next day, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying came to Bai Wuchang's palace together. When Bai Wuchang saw them coming, he immediately waved to them and said, "Come here."

The two of them walked forward quickly, only to see Bai Wuchang take two tokens from the table and use his magic power to bring them to them. "This is the boundary token for you to enter and exit the Yin and Yang worlds. Remember, don't lose it. If you lose it, immediately go to the local City God to explain the situation. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying took the token and responded respectfully.

Bai Wuchang nodded and continued, "You can go to the Soul-Calling Hall now. The Soul-Calling Hall is where all soul-catching tasks are assigned. You'll understand once you get there. Oh, and remember one more thing: the Underworld has monthly assessments. As ghost messengers, you must ensure you complete at least 300 soul-catching tasks each month. If you fail to do so, not only will your monthly salary be deducted, but you may even have your Robbery Jade confiscated."

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying immediately nodded in response to the order, then they bid farewell to Bai Wuchang, left Bai Wuchang Hall, and headed towards the Soul-Calling Hall.

When the two arrived at the Soul-Calling Hall, they saw that ghosts were everywhere. Countless ghost messengers came and went in a hurry, and it was very busy.

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying entered the Soul-Invoking Hall, only to find it extremely huge. The hall was divided into nine areas, each corresponding to the Nine Directions of the Sky.

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying were a little confused, not knowing what to do next. Mei Xianzhang had no choice but to stop a ghost messenger and asked, "Big brother, how do I accept the soul-binding mission?"

The ghost messenger was a little unhappy about being stopped and said, "If you don't even know this, what are you doing as a ghost messenger?"

Mei Xianzhang's face darkened. Fortunately, Xuanying reacted quickly and took out two robbery jades and pressed them into the ghost catcher's hands. "Big brother, we are new here and are not very familiar with the place yet."

The ghost officer glanced at the two robbery jades in his hand, and his expression brightened slightly. He calmly put the robbery jades into his sleeves and asked, "Then you all know which heaven you are responsible for the soul-binding affairs, right?"

Mei Xianzhang said, "The Eastern Sky."

Upon hearing this, the ghost immediately pointed to the area to the east and said, "It's over there. Just go there and you'll find out."

After saying that, the ghost hurriedly turned and headed towards the northwest area. Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying looked at each other, then they shook their heads and smiled helplessly, then turned and walked towards the east area.
