The green-robed ghost let the electric snakes strike his head and body as if they didn't exist. Just as he was about to walk in front of Hui Shuo in the golden light, all the methods that Wang Yao and the others had used to deal with other ghosts were not even a tickle in front of this green-robed ghost.
Wang Yao panicked. If Hui Shuo were captured by the green-robed ghost, he would have to be hesitant to act, and might have to admit defeat. He was a member of a government organization, and Lü Xian would likely have to lose face by coming to his rescue. Moreover, since he and Hui Shuo had killed so many ghosts, the green-robed ghost might kill Hui Shuo in a fit of rage.
"Run, Hui Shuo!" Wang Yao shouted.
Hui Shuo seemed to be in a meditative state, ignoring Wang Yao's shouts. Seeing that the situation had reached a critical point, Wang Yao was anxious and wanted to use the Immortal Binding Rope that Xi Fu had given him. However, he was too nervous and in his haste, he actually took out the magic treasure, the Red Thread.
What... what's the use of the red thread? Although Wang Yao couldn't see the identity information displayed next to the ghost's head since entering the underworld, he knew even with his toes that the green-robed ghost's realm was definitely higher than his own.
If the window to the underworld were open, he could still use his skills to help him find a partner. Now that the window to the underworld is closed, his matchmaking skills are completely useless against the green-robed ghost.
However...? Wang Yao's eyes suddenly lit up. He held the red thread in his hand and flicked it gently. One end of the red thread wrapped around Hui Shuo's ankle. Then he flung the other end of the red thread far away towards the group of ghosts behind the green-robed ghost.
He couldn't do anything about the Green-Robed Ghost, but the Green-Robed Ghost's henchmen might not all be of a higher cultivation level than him. He was focused on a little ghost cowering behind the Green-Robed Ghost, and sure enough, under Wang Yao's watchful gaze, one end of the red thread wrapped around the little ghost's ankle.
"My lord! Wait!" The little devil's front foot was entangled by the red thread, and then his body trembled. He straightened his chest, squeezed out of the ghost crowd, and shouted loudly.
"Hmm? What do you have to say?" The green-robed ghost had already walked to Hui Shuo's side. Hearing the ghost's cry behind him, he turned around to look at the little ghost.
“My lord, this holy monk has disturbed the underworld and slaughtered innocent ghosts. His crimes deserve to be torn to pieces, and it would be justified to throw him into the eighteenth floor. But... he must be here for the first time and doesn't quite understand the rules. Isn't the holy monk supposed to be chanting scriptures?”
"The holy monk's chanting of scriptures was originally an act of compassion. I think he probably doesn't know that chanting scriptures in our underworld is actually harmful to the ghosts. Moreover, the holy monk is kind-hearted. Look, even with my level of cultivation, I can pass through this golden light without any hindrance..."
"So, sir, this holy monk must be because..." The little devil stepped forward, talking to the green-robed ghost as he walked. Even though he was shrouded in golden light and black smoke was billowing from his body, he still frowned and walked step by step with difficulty toward the green-robed ghost.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" The green-robed ghost grew impatient with his rambling and coldly questioned the little ghost.
"My lord, I... I beg you to spare him, considering the holy monk's ignorance of etiquette. If you insist on punishing him, I... I am willing to take his place!"
The little ghost walked to Hui Shuo, who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed, looked at him with affection, and then knelt down tremblingly before the green-robed ghost in the golden light.
"What...what is your relationship with this monk?" the green-robed ghost asked in surprise, his eyes wide.
This little devil was nothing more than an ant in his eyes, but the fact that this devil was willing to be immersed in the power of the monk's wooden fish to deliver the soul was already an act of self-sacrifice, yet he still begged him to spare the monk and offered to take his place...
This was not something that could be achieved through ordinary relationships. The green-robed ghost couldn't help but have great doubts about the little ghost's identity. The reason why this immortal and monk were wreaking havoc in the underworld was already very strange. The green-robed ghost only planned to capture the two of them and interrogate them slowly, rather than kill them immediately.
But the little devil's actions made him suspect that the two of them might have an inside man in the underworld, and that there might be a huge conspiracy hidden behind their killing of ghosts. After thinking it over, the green-robed ghost's expression gradually became serious.
"I...I have no relation to the holy monk, it's just...it's just..." The little ghost was racking his brains, searching for words to describe his feelings for Hui Shuo to the green-robed ghost, but unexpectedly another ghost shouted from behind.
"My lord, please spare the holy monk! How could such a refined and handsome man like the holy monk withstand your methods? Please, my lord, spare the holy monk!" Another ghost cried out as it squeezed out from behind and rushed toward Hui Shuo. This was naturally Wang Yao's doing once again.
He understood, of course, that it was a joke for a little devil to think that the Green-Robed Ghost would let Hui Shuo go. If the Green-Robed Ghost hadn't misunderstood, he probably would have slapped the little devil to death and gone to get Hui Shuo. So, let alone one little devil, even ten or a hundred wouldn't be enough to stop the Green-Robed Ghost. But what if there were more?
The green-robed ghost came to capture him and Hui Shuo, not to kill ghosts for fun. The principle of "the law does not punish the masses" applies not only to the human world but also to the underworld. Therefore, after Wang Yao used the red thread to tie the little ghost and Hui Shuo together, he immediately tied another ghost to Hui Shuo.
As soon as this one ran out, another ghost cried out behind it. Wang Yao's red thread kept moving back and forth among the ghosts behind Hui Shuo and the green-robed ghost, causing his magic power to drop by 100. Immediately, behind the green-robed ghost, ghosts rushed towards Hui Shuo in a hurry.
"My lord, please don't!"
"My lord, please have mercy..."
“Holy monk, may I ask where your home is? I’ve come to see you out…”
"Holy Monk, run! My master's magic is powerful; you can't stop him..."
