Wang Yao then walked to the front of the group, and Hui Shuo and Qin Su naturally followed him, leading the ghosts back along the original route.
Not far ahead, they saw the man in the green robe pacing back and forth in the middle of the corridor, his hands behind his back. Several of his men were watching him from a distance.
Upon discovering that Wang Yao and his group of ghosts were approaching in a large procession, the man in the green robe stopped and turned to face them.
"Lord Yue Lao, my master has spoken. If you have any requests for my underworld, we can sit down and discuss them properly after this matter is over. We just ask that you hurry up and shut off the valve for the upward flow of yin energy, as there has been no communication from there."
"My master is maintaining close contact with the upstairs. If they find any traces of corpse energy upstairs, it will be a terrible situation, and it will be too late to say anything then," the man in the green robe shouted as he saw Wang Yao leading the ghosts closer.
"Leaving aside the upstairs neighbor, I wonder how your family can guarantee the safety of this floor?"
As Wang Yao spoke, he first labeled himself a "good person," then activated the immortal technique "Questioning the Heart," intending to find out what the man in the green robe cared about most. Only by addressing his most pressing concerns could he persuade the man in the green robe to disregard Gu Qi's orders and allow them to pass.
"My lord has his own ingenious plan to ensure the safety of this floor, but that is not something we can interfere with. As the master of this floor, my lord will not sit idly by and do nothing about it," the man in the green robe said, shaking his head.
"I wonder if the Lord in the green robe arranged for Fang Chengxian to be placed on this floor or sent upstairs?" Wang Yao asked with a smile. This Fang Chengxian was naturally the effect of "Questioning the Heart".
The other end of the hook in the mind showed an image of a small ghost being carried on the ground by a man in a green robe, crawling around as it looked up and cried out. A line of small characters next to the ghost's head read, "Only ghosts from the underworld can become immortals."
Wang Yao guessed that the little ghost Fang Chengxian from the underworld was most likely born to this man in green robes. It seems that the love between parents and children is the same everywhere, and this man in green robes cares most about his son.
“I am on the zero floor, so my son is naturally with me.” The man in the green robe looked at Wang Yao in astonishment, not understanding how he knew his son’s name.
It should be understood that as little ghosts born in the underworld, they do not receive the same meticulous care as those in the human world. After all, the only purpose of a little ghost's birth is to balance the number of beings in the six realms. If the number of beings in the six realms increases rapidly, the little ghost must be reincarnated immediately.
Conversely, if the total number of beings in the six realms is slowly decreasing, then little ghosts become the reserves of the underworld. To put it bluntly, they are only slightly better than useless people. After all, little ghosts cannot grow up and will always be the size of three or four-year-old toddlers. Not only can they not make any effort, but they also need other ghosts to take care of many things.
If Fang Chengxian wasn't the son of the man in the green robe, he would probably have been reincarnated by the underworld long ago. Who knows if he would have become a prostitute or a male prostitute? He might have become a ghost in the cycle of reincarnation and returned to the underworld to start paying social security and contributing to the underworld.
The man in green robes felt sorry for his son and couldn't bear to see him reincarnated as an animal. However, the ghost population was tight, and the man in green robes was now on duty at floor zero. If the ghost in charge upstairs was worried about meeting the reincarnation quota for animals and took advantage of the man in green robes' absence to send Fang Chengxian to be a chicken or duck, the man in green robes would not be able to accept it.
Moreover, the manager upstairs, the one in the green robe, was someone he couldn't afford to offend. So, after thinking it over, he decided to keep his son by his side and watch over him every day. He planned to save up enough money to send Fang Chengxian to be reborn into a good family in the human world. After all, as a little ghost, he would eventually have to be reborn.
As for being reborn as an immortal, the chances are extremely slim. Even a ghost born to the King of Hell or the King of Ghosts would probably have to wait countless years before getting a chance. The green-robed man naming his son Fang Chengxian was merely expressing a beautiful wish.
"Lord Qingpao dotes on his son. Now that the corpse energy is attacking, you must have made thorough preparations for your son. But what preparations have you made?" Wang Yao continued to ask with a smile.
“This… my son is no different from the ghosts of this building, how could he have made any thorough preparations?” The man in the green robe said after a moment of surprise. “That corpse energy mixes with the air and is ubiquitous. Once you are contaminated, you will immediately become a new source of corpse energy, which is the most difficult to guard against.”
"But I wonder what wonderful method the immortal has to ensure my son's safety?" Ever since he learned that there was corpse energy on this floor, the man in green robes had been worried about it. However, Gu Qi seemed confident and was extremely busy, with his phone ringing almost non-stop, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Now that Wang Yao had asked, the Old Man of the Moon, being a celestial being, naturally possessed methods and skills far superior to those of a mere ghost general confined to the underworld. Thus, he couldn't help but seek advice from Wang Yao.
Wang Yao had been waiting for this question. He originally thought he would have to use his words, but the effect of "asking the heart" was too good. He only asked the other party two questions, and the man in green robes took the bait.
"The best course of action now is to block the flow of corpse energy from the Queen of the Underworld to other areas of this floor. I have the means to do this, and I plan to start with the Underworld Affairs area. However, we must set up checkpoints on the main road leading from the Queen of the Underworld area to the Underworld Affairs area."
"Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Green Robe to do me a favor and make way. If this place is blocked, I will go to the main road of the Underworld Property and Underworld Residence areas and the Underworld Queen area to cast a spell. In this way, not only will your young master be safe for the time being, but all the ghost mouths on this floor will also be safe for the time being."
“Once Gu Qi brings the immortals here, we can follow the three main paths to go in and completely extinguish the source of the corpse energy. Do you think my method is feasible?” Wang Yao asked.
“Three channels might not be enough? There’s also a wind channel above. Although the ghosts in the Underworld District shut down the ventilation fans as soon as they detected the corpse energy, the corpse energy will still enter through the wind channel over time. If we want to completely block the corpse energy from entering, the wind channel cannot be left unattended.”
