"Run!"
Seeing Meng Po leave, the unlucky fellow hurriedly urged Xiao Yanbao and Li Muhao to follow in his footsteps.
Finally able to speak, Li Muhao ran forward with all his might, while looking at the unlucky guy who was only slightly taller than him.
"You unlucky brother, is Meng Po really that powerful? The Lord of the River of Oblivion is a Ghost King!"
With the underworld right in front of him, the unlucky fellow felt much more relaxed and wanted to put on airs in front of Li Muhao.
"It seems you have a long road ahead of you. Meng Po is the only one who dares to argue with Lord Hades. Isn't she amazing? If Lord Hades were still alive, Meng Po would beat Wangchuan like an older sister beating her younger brother. Wangchuan wouldn't dare to fight back at all!"
When the unlucky guy talked about Meng Po's great achievements, he looked proud, as if he were the one who dared to argue with the King of the Underworld.
Just then, little Yanbao came over, looking at the unlucky guy with great confusion, and asked in her childish voice:
"Then why not ask Lady Meng Po to help us find out what caused the situation up there? Maybe she can save Grandpa and the others."
The unlucky guy looked at Xiao Yanbao, who had a serious and earnest expression, his eyes filled with helplessness and an indescribable feeling.
"Because the Lord of the Underworld forbids Meng Po from leaving the Underworld, and even from leaving the area near the Bridge of Helplessness, she cannot take us to the Yama Palace and has to turn back here."
The Underworld Lord? Xiao Yanbao and Li Muhao were very curious about this Underworld boss who had always existed in other people's words. Suddenly, Li Muhao seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he spoke up.
"If Meng Po dares to argue with the Lord of the Underworld, could it be that they like each other or are lovers?"
Hearing Li Muhao's words, Xiao Yanbao looked at the unlucky guy with great curiosity, and even turned around to look in the direction where Meng Po had left.
The unlucky fellow never expected that Li Muhao, a mere ghost messenger who had just become a night patrol god, would be so audacious. If the Lord of the Underworld were still in the Underworld, Li Muhao's words would have been enough to send him to the underworld for a series of adventures.
The unlucky guy flicked Li Muhao's forehead, making Li Muhao grimace and stare at the unlucky guy, his very soul seeming to tremble.
"What are you thinking? The Underworld Lord is a woman!"
No sooner had the unlucky fellow finished speaking than a giant hand suddenly appeared in front of the three of them and grabbed them hard.
"To speak ill of the Lord of the Underworld is an unforgivable crime and deserves punishment!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yanbao and Li Muhao both began to form hand seals to resist the giant hand. However, the calligraphy brush in Li Muhao's hand only lit up briefly before becoming completely still, as if it had been sealed by the giant hand.
"Retreat!"
Xiao Yanbao gave a soft shout, and a white ball of light the size of a palm swayed from the small palm to meet the giant hand that was about to reach it.
Both the unlucky guy and Li Muhao were terrified by the enormous hand that blotted out the sky. They couldn't even control their bodies. Seeing that Xiao Yanbao was only emitting a very weak ball of light, they both closed their eyes in despair.
After waiting for a while, the unlucky guy and Li Muhao did not receive any punishment. When they opened their eyes, they found that the ball of white light had actually supported the falling giant hand and was pushing the giant hand up into the sky little by little.
A dozen seconds later, the giant hand shattered and disappeared into the darkness, as if it had never existed.
"Yanbao, you're amazing!"
Li Muhao excitedly picked up Xiao Yanbao's soul, and just as they stood there, the Judge, holding a Judge's Pen in one hand and a Life-or-Death Strike in the other, hurriedly came from the light.
However, he only saw the giant hand formed by the laws of the underworld shattering. When he got closer, he found the unlucky guy with two children in this hidden passage.
"You unlucky bastard! How did you get in here? And who shattered the Hand of Punishment?"
The judge's sharp gaze was fixed on the unlucky fellow. This passage was a secret passage created by Lord Yeming using the power of laws. The unlucky fellow had no ability to come here. Could it be that there was a problem somewhere in the passage?
The unlucky judge trembled in fright, scratched his head awkwardly, and even a few strands of hair on his head stood on end in fright.
"I came from Lady Meng Po's side; we have something to discuss with you!"
Upon hearing that the passage was entered from Meng Po's side, the judge breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his eyes flashed, and he recognized Li Muhao.
"You've come to the underworld? Why are you with a little girl?"
The judge's attitude towards Li Muhao was clearly different. After all, Li Muhao was personally brought to the company by Lord Yeming, and even the usually strict Lord Yeming did not make Li Muhao follow the onboarding process.
The unlucky ghost was indignant when he saw that the judge treated Li Muhao, the lowest-ranking ghost messenger, better than he treated him. He was a rare species in the underworld—the unlucky ghost!
"This is my sister, he said so..."
The unlucky fellow was furious when he saw that Li Muhao had sold him out without any hesitation, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the judge, so he could only awkwardly chuckle.
"Do you know the rules of night wandering? You must never bring a living soul into the underworld. If anything happens to her, you will face the punishment of your soul being scattered."
To the unfortunate man's surprise, the judge did not intend to punish Li Muhao. In fact, what he just said seemed more like an explanation of the laws and regulations for ghost messengers.
Seeing that the judge did not intend to blame him, Li Muhao immediately tightened his grip on Xiao Yanbao's little hand and nodded.
The judge looked up at the broken part of the giant hand, then looked at Li Muhao again, his eyes even becoming more amiable.
"I wasn't lecturing you, so don't take it to heart. Tell me, what was the purpose of your visit to the underworld?"
The judge's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering the unfortunate soul's entire understanding of the underworld and the judge. Was this still the judge known for his impartiality and incorruptibility? Why was he speaking favorably to Li Muhao, a mere night wanderer? Could he be the real powerful figure?
No! No! It was clearly Xiao Yanbao who cast the Dark Blessing. It seems that the Judge and Li Muhao must have some connection. Thinking of this, the unlucky guy felt a surge of joy and swallowed the words he was about to say about Xiao Yanbao.
When I finally meet Lord Hades, I'll definitely give that old man a piece of my mind. Maybe then I can even change my identity and become a judge or something for fun.
The judge indeed regarded Li Muhao as a very important person, and one who was very close to Ye Mingda, or even possibly the reincarnation of that person, which is why he was so tolerant of Li Muhao.
"A strange thing has happened to my family. I beg Your Honor to take a look. If possible, I would also appreciate your help in rescuing them."
Upon hearing this, the judge's eyes lit up with excitement. He thought to himself, "My chance has finally come! I'm going to be the Ghost King someday!"
