The master only gave him one task: to make the Old Man of the Moon shut off the valve for the rising Yin energy no matter what. Gu Qi also had something else he dared not tell the Old Man of the Moon: if the Old Man of the Moon did not comply, all people and ghosts, including that monk, could be killed.
The man in the green robe understood that without the arrival of an immortal, floor zero was indeed in danger. At the very least, he couldn't think of any good way to ensure the safety of this floor. However, he didn't take Wang Yao's analysis of the resistance of the underworld's powerful beings to corpse energy seriously.
He himself had achieved some success in cultivating the Ghost Path, so he was well aware that corpse energy was extremely vicious. Powerful beings like the Ghost King and Yama, with their profound Yin energy, would not be easily defeated by corpse energy.
However, once tainted by corpse energy, the yin energy in one's body will slowly transform into corpse energy. Not only will it be difficult to advance further in cultivation, but if left unchecked, one will still suffer from corpse energy syndrome and go through the three stages of corpse energy syndrome, only this process will be extremely long.
The suffering inflicted upon a powerful being would be many times greater than that of an ordinary ghost. Is there any way to resolve this? The man in the green robe was ignorant and not quite sure, but he understood that even if there were a way, it would probably require the intervention of an immortal, since this corpse energy was the nemesis of ghosts.
As long as it's a ghost, no matter if you're a powerful being or a minor ghost, no one can deal with the corpse energy.
"I wonder what exactly the method for sealing off the corridor that Lord Yue Lao mentioned is? Could you demonstrate it for me to see first?" The man in the green robe frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked Wang Yao.
Wang Yao smiled slightly and pointed at Qin Su: "Look, my glass shield can prevent the invasion of corpse energy. As long as three or five ghosts put on the shield and line up in a row, staggered in front and behind, it will naturally prevent the yin energy from entering."
The glass protective shields of the other ghosts at the scene had long since disappeared. Only Qin Su and Wang Yao went to the Energy Office. Wang Yao was worried that Qin Su would be infected by the corpse energy, so he kept adding a protective shield for her, and it is still intact to this day.
"Your Excellency in Green Robe is wise; this protective barrier is indeed very effective. The moment the corpse energy touches it, it immediately turns into black smoke and dissipates," Qin Su hurriedly added from the side.
"Furthermore, my monk friend can also clear away the corpse energy by chanting scriptures. Therefore, as long as there are several hundred ghosts, the passage can be sealed off, making it difficult for the corpse energy to enter," Wang Yao said with a smile.
Inspired by Qin Su, he had been considering this method. He felt that one ghost wall was too weak; if three walls were set up in front and behind, the corpse energy should be unable to pass through.
Without the aura of death, the "Glass" shield was not particularly noticeable. Only when Qin Su moved around and the light was refracted did the scale-like patterns on the "Glass" shield emit a faint glow. After listening to Wang Yao's explanation, the man in the green robe looked closely and finally noticed the shield on Qin Su's body.
He stared blankly at the protective shield for a while, then suddenly looked at Wang Yao again.
"I wonder if the God of Marriage could also help me find one, and then we could go together to the place ahead ravaged by the aura of corpses to try it out?"
“Of course.” Wang Yao nodded. The “Glass” shield costs 200 spiritual power each, which is very affordable, so he didn’t feel bad about giving it away. He raised his hand and put one on the green-robed man. The green-robed man closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, then opened his eyes and made an inviting gesture to Wang Yao.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Matchmaker."
“Sure, do you want to give your men a heads-up?” Wang Yao asked.
"Oh..." The men were hiding too far away; the man in green had forgotten about them. He immediately turned around and called out to those behind him, "This general and Lord Yue are going to investigate the details of the rampant corpse energy. You are not to make any rash moves!"
Hearing his subordinate's agreement, Wang Yao and the man in green robes walked deeper into the Underworld. They hadn't gone far when wisps of black smoke began to emanate from the man in green robes' "glass" protective shield. The man in green robes sensed this as they walked and nodded slightly.
"But how long will this protective shield last?" the man in the green robe asked Wang Yao again.
"I'm not entirely sure, but it should take two or three hours without any problem," Wang Yao said. In fact, the actual effect of "Liuli" is even longer than that, but Wang Yao was cautious and dared not say more.
"Those three main roads leading to the Underworld District, plus the four wind passage checkpoints, even with the speed of the Old Man of the Moon, it might not be possible to make a trip over them even once a month. I wonder if the Old Man of the Moon has any way to solve this?" The man in the green robe asked Wang Yao.
“I’m also worried about this matter. I wonder if you have any good ideas?” Wang Yao’s face darkened when he heard the question from the man in green robes. The man in green robes had indeed hit the nail on the head. He had no shortage of immortal techniques for offense and defense, but his only weakness was speed.
“I have a subordinate named Wuying who specializes in speed techniques. Although his skill level isn’t high, his speed is so fast that even I might not be able to keep up. Go back and take my token to him, and have him send it to set up the checkpoint. There shouldn’t be any problem with the time,” the man in the green robe nodded.
Hearing the tone of the man in the green robe, Wang Yao was taken aback, realizing he didn't intend to go back. He immediately asked, "You're not planning to go back?"
“I know that the God of Love and my husband have a rift and he is unwilling to shut off the valve, but saving the people upstairs and saving the ghosts on this floor are actually the same thing.”
“If the upstairs area gets contaminated, we downstairs won’t be able to avoid it either. I think your protective shield should last long enough for me to make a round trip to the Santong Center, so I’m planning to make the trip myself,” the man in the green robe said with a smile.
“But you…” Wang Yao couldn’t help but be moved by the green robe. Going to the center of the three passages filled with corpse energy was tantamount to going through fire and water for the green robe. Without Wang Yao by his side to replenish the protective shield, if time was delayed, it would be an irreversible end.
"It's nothing. As the Dao Master of the Peace Dao of Floor Zero, I am only fulfilling my duty in the face of this sudden crisis. The Underworld has suffered such a calamity, and I am truly grateful for the help of the Old Man of the Moon." As he spoke, the man in the green robe bowed respectfully to Wang Yao.
