"Start from the nearest and work your way out, make a trip to every single point!" Wang Yao shouted to Wuying.
Wuying nodded and rode the black mist, but unexpectedly, as soon as they ran into the area of the Underworld, Wuying's magic was blocked by the mighty ghost flow, and he had to stop.
Looking at the endless stream of ghosts before him, Wang Yao felt that all the ghosts on the entire zero floor had probably come out.
These ghosts were dressed in all sorts of strange clothes, and their appearances varied greatly in age, handsomeness, and ugliness. They were not distinguished by gender, height, or weight. Each of them had a serious expression and formed several neat rows in the corridor, hurrying towards the Underworld District.
On both sides of the procession, against the walls of the corridor, there were ghosts waving whips and shouting loudly, urging the ghosts to hurry forward.
Wang Yao asked the ghost shouting by the roadside and learned that the situation at the front was critical, and the Taoist Master had arranged for all the ghosts on this floor to gather at the blockade point through various passages.
Meanwhile, multiple checkpoints were set up in the passage ahead to screen the ghosts, ranking them by seniority and order of arrival. Those ghosts with lower cultivation levels, less experience, and fewer contributions would be the first to step up.
The situation was urgent, and Wang Yao didn't care whether the Dao Lords were doing the right thing or not. They had originally come from the blockade point in the Underworld Production Area and then through the passage between the Underworld Production Area and the Underworld Residence Area. But when they arrived here, they couldn't reach the blockade point quickly because of the ghosts blocking their way.
“If we go around to the back now, every path will probably be crowded with ghosts. Let’s head forward first, and once we reach the blockade and stabilize the situation here, we can change our route and go through the Underworld area. We can deal with the Minions when we see them,” Wang Yao said to Wuying.
"Everyone, the immortal is here! Quickly make way for him, you'll all be cannon fodder if you go over there now, get out of the way and let the immortal pass first!" Wuying shouted loudly at the ghosts in the corridor.
Upon hearing Wuying's shouts, the ghosts' ranks immediately became somewhat chaotic. Some ghosts continued to march forward regardless, while others, being clever, stopped only to be pushed forward by the ghosts behind them, leaving them anxiously shouting.
"Don't push, don't push! This genius just said that an immortal has arrived..."
"Damn it, why did you stop? Watch out, the demon warrior might whip you!"
"Yes, yes, this genius is right! Make way, let the immortal pass first!"
"Ouch, my heel! My shoe! My shoe! You stepped on my shoe and it fell off!"
"Beautiful lady, I didn't mean to grope you, there was just a ghost bumping into me from behind..."
"What the hell are you yelling about? Where's the immortal? Are you having a cowardly fit or something?"
"Isn't that immortal being beside that disabled genius?"
"Everyone, make way! Holy crap, I'm not cutting in line, I'm going to my death, not to be reincarnated! What's the point of me cutting in line? I'm making way for the immortals..."
...
Just then, a sharp "snap" was heard, and a ghost that was rushing through the ghostly stream cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground clutching its head. Immediately afterwards, a series of "snap, snap" sounds rang out as whips lashed out, and the ghost rolled on the ground clutching its head, screaming for help.
"All ghosts, listen to my command! From this point forward, ghosts on the left, move to the left; ghosts on the right, move to the right. Clear the middle passage so the immortals can proceed first. Pass this message down one by one, and carry it out! Anyone who dares to delay the immortals' important business will be executed without mercy!"
However, a ghost guard supervising the ghost procession by the roadside reacted quickly. Seeing that the ghosts were in chaos, he hurriedly jumped out, used his whip to make an example of a foolish ghost, knocked it down, and then shouted loudly.
"Master Genius, please proceed with confidence." The ghost warrior then slapped down several more clueless ghosts. Seeing that the road ahead had finally been cleared by the ghosts, leaving a straight passage with no one blocking the way, he turned around and respectfully invited Wang Yao and Wuying to move forward.
Wuying nodded to the ghost in charge, and black mist rose again beneath his feet, carrying Wang Yao forward in a hurry. A moment later, Wuying had just stopped when Wang Yao heard a chorus of ghostly cries all around him.
"The immortals have arrived! The immortals have arrived!" It turned out that the two had already arrived behind the blockade. Upon seeing Wang Yao and his companion arrive, the ghosts near the blockade cheered loudly.
“Immortal, I am the Daoist Master of the Impermanence Path on Floor Zero. Please come with me immediately.” A man with a buzz cut, wearing a long robe with a belt around his waist and shiny riding boots, dressed in a mismatched manner, stepped forward and cupped his hands to Wang Yao.
As soon as Wuying stopped, Wang Yao continued to scatter his "glass" magic, which caused another round of cheers from the ghosts. Under the impact of the corpse puppet, the corpse energy could not be sealed so tightly, and several people suffering from mild corpse energy syndrome had already fallen at the blockade point.
Now that they have the protective shield, the ghosts are as if they have a life-saving charm in their hands. Therefore, the ghosts who have put on the shield are all cheering and jumping for joy, and their courage has greatly increased.
The Dao Master of the Impermanence Path was the first to be affected, and naturally, he was also adorned with "Glass." The smile on his face instantly became much more sincere, and he bowed and scraped as he led Wang Yao forward.
Just like the stream of ghosts Wang Yao and his companions had encountered in the corridor, the ghosts ahead formed neat rows facing the Underworld District. A few ghosts, still protected by protective shields, stood at the very front, but their rows were offset from the others.
“Wang…Wang Da…” Wang Yao was surprised to find Qin Su standing there, smiling at him. Wisps of black smoke could be seen rising from her “glass” protective shield.
"You... how come you're here too...?" Wang Yao was stunned. Along the way, he saw many female ghosts who were either lying on the ground due to the corpse energy, or who had become fierce ghosts due to the corpse energy syndrome, or who rushed out of the blockade to fight the corpse puppet, or who were in the same line as the male ghosts and rushed to the front line.
