Chapter 314 The Salted Fish Little Celestial Master Gets His Bride Stolen by the Yandere Ghost King 41
These people are masters at creating trouble out of nothing, but when it comes to actually doing something, they're quicker than anyone else to shirk responsibility.
Despite how unpopular the K City branch chief is, at least he actually came in person, and he even brought two senior colleagues with him.
Let's take a look at the other branches.
Ha, the General Administration contacted them, but they either said they were busy and couldn't spare any manpower, or they sent one or two college graduates who had just joined the Paranormal Events Management Bureau.
The perfunctory attitude left Granny Gu feeling both disheartened and helpless.
She did want the Xuanmen sect to revive, but with people like them, she probably wouldn't live to see it!
“Since Granny Gu has said so, we can’t have any other opinions. Let’s hurry down into the tomb,” said Director K.
The old Taoist priest found him irritating. "Going down into a tomb? What are so many people doing down there? Are you sending those kids, who haven't even grown up yet, down there to die?"
"The little ones are waiting outside to meet us, while the old folks are coming down into the tomb with us!"
The old Taoist priest went down into the tomb first, followed closely by the people from the headquarters. The other branch offices watched for a moment, then stayed where they were.
The old Taoist priest, furious, glared and climbed out again. Pointing at K Bureau and a few other people, he yelled, "Little K, you get down here too! Don't think I don't know you were one of the top students in your class back then. What are you all shamelessly pretending to be young for?"
His words and the younger members' barely suppressed laughter made the K Bureau members extremely embarrassed, and they had no choice but to follow him down into the tomb.
Chen Zhuo walked at the very front.
The mechanisms in the tomb chamber have long been deciphered by the archaeological team. According to Master Zhao from Bureau C, the Ghost King is the owner of this tomb, the emperor in the main burial chamber.
In other words, they only need to walk towards the main burial chamber to see the Ghost King.
Shen Zhuo stopped and looked at Master Zhao with a half-smile. "Master Zhao, according to you, that Ghost King was once an emperor. After an emperor dies, he becomes a very powerful Ghost King. If he is so powerful... how did you manage to escape from here?"
"I heard from Director Ling that the strongest among you is Master Dao Yi, but even he is dead, yet you escaped? That seems rather strange."
Master Zhao's expression changed, and he instantly flew into a rage. "What? Is the Ghost King trying to say that I conspired with the Ghost King inside to harm people?"
“I didn’t say that, Master Zhao, you’re overthinking it. I’m just curious how you escaped! I didn’t say you were in cahoots with that Ghost King.”
Master Zhao was furious. He explained coldly, "Because I was the weakest, I was at the very back. It was my senior brothers and sisters who protected me and helped me escape. I'm so sorry to my senior brothers and sisters..."
Master Zhao's eyes were brimming with tears, and his eyes were red; it was a heartbreaking sight to see.
Shen Zhuo chuckled at this.
Keep pretending, you old cabbage. Wait till I beat that ghost king to a pulp and you'll behave.
Bureau Chief K spoke up for Master Zhao, saying, "Even though you are the Ghost King, you can't talk about Master Zhao like that, can you? He's still a senior..."
"Shut up! He's your senior, not mine. Do you know how many years I've been dead? Give me back my senior? I'm older than his great-grandmother in her past life."
Chen Zhuo rolled his eyes, and dared to challenge anyone.
"Furthermore, the truth of the matter cannot be explained by him alone. If that were the case, I would call him a traitor! If I really wanted to reason with him, all of you combined couldn't out-argue me."
888: So you know you're eloquent? At least you have some self-awareness.
Granny Gu and the old Taoist priest exchanged a glance and silently surrounded Taoist Zhao.
From an angle unseen by anyone, Master Zhao's eyes darkened, and his gaze toward Shen Zhuo was far from friendly.
The group stopped discussing the topic and silently entered the main burial chamber.
Even through the tomb door of the main burial chamber, everyone could sense the dense yin energy within. Director K couldn't resist making a tactless remark, "The one inside seems stronger than our Ghost King? Such dense yin energy..."
Shen Zhuo didn't speak, but instead proved with facts that he was stronger than the people inside.
He no longer restrained his yin energy, and the yin energy all over his body caused the temperature of the passage to drop sharply.
"Chen Zhuo, rein in your yin energy, are you trying to freeze me to death?"
Hearing his beloved wife speak, Shen Zhuo quickly concealed his aura, leaving the members of the Paranormal Affairs Bureau with a sense of unreality in just a few minutes.
But that bone-chilling feeling just now wasn't fake, so they really could beat the one inside?
The tomb door slowly opened before everyone, as if inviting them inside.
Shen Zhuo and Yu Sheng stepped into the tomb chamber first. On the coffin in the tomb chamber, a middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe sat upright, treating the coffin as a dragon throne. Shen Zhuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
"Who dares to make a scene in front of me? Little Eunuch Zhao, is this how you serve me?" The middle-aged man looked displeased, propped his head up with one hand, and stared at the crowd with bloodshot eyes, as if he were looking at his prey.
"Young Master Zhao?" Shen Zhuo looked at Master Zhao meaningfully. "I didn't know Master Zhao had become a eunuch. Didn't Master Zhao say that he had nothing to do with this idiot?"
When Zhao Daoshi was stared at by Shen Zhuo's equally scarlet eyes, he felt his scalp tingle.
With Granny Gu and the old Taoist priest watching him from both sides, he had no chance of escaping.
"How dare you! You dare to insult me like this! I will have Eunuch Zhao exterminate your entire clan!"
Shen Zhuo picked at his ear and said with a grin to Master Zhao, "Little Eunuch Zhao, your emperor said you are to exterminate our entire clan!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me—" Seeing that Granny Gu and the old Taoist priest were about to attack him, and that he had completely exposed himself, Master Zhao hurriedly begged the Ghost King for help.
"Don't be afraid, Eunuch Zhao. With me here, they won't dare to do anything to you!"
Master Zhao: "..."
Then you should at least rescue me first! What's with posing there?
"Guards! Seize these traitors and rescue Eunuch Zhao!" As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a group of ghostly soldiers suddenly emerged from the tomb, charging forward with weapons in hand and lifeless eyes.
Master Zhao was overjoyed. Taking advantage of the fact that Granny Gu and the old Taoist priest were busy dealing with the Yin soldiers, he found a gap and slipped out of their encirclement.
But what he didn't expect was that what awaited him was the Ghost King's heart-wrenching treatment.
"Young Eunuch Zhao, thank you for finding a living person for me. Continue to serve me well after you die. I hereby appoint you as Grand Eunuch!"
In the last second before he died, Master Zhao cursed the other party in his heart: Who the hell wants to be your chief eunuch!
