“Taking this route to the Santong Center isn’t much of a detour, it just involves one more teleportation. After all, although we suspect the construction area is the source of the corpse energy, the place where the incident first occurred was still the Santong Center, so I think it’s best to go there,” Yama explained.
"I don't care. I only have one purpose here: to find an enemy to fight. It doesn't matter where I fight," King Qin Guang said, shaking his head.
“Me too. Since Lao Qi thinks we should make a trip to the Santong Center, we might as well go and take a look.” Song Diwang nodded as well.
Now everyone's opinions diverged, and both the immortals and the ghosts turned their gazes toward Wang Yao.
"King Qin Guang, have you checked your phone for any messages?" Wang Yao asked King Qin Guang instead of answering King Yama's question.
King Qin Guang took out his phone, looked at it, and shook his head at Wang Yao.
“If that’s the case, then let’s go and take a look at the Santong Center,” Wang Yao nodded.
"You...don't you all know the principle of 'it's better to do less than more'?" the fairy said dejectedly.
“If we’re going to take down our enemy’s stronghold, there will be plenty of trouble. In a broader sense, isn’t the entire Western Fifth Underworld District our enemy’s stronghold? And we haven’t seen a single corpse puppet along the way. We’re traveling on the main road from Western Fifth to Western Sixth.”
"Therefore, there is only one possibility: the enemy's previous attack has stopped, and they are gathering strength for the second attack. This is the perfect opportunity for us to find the enemy's remaining forces and fight them. No matter where we go, finding the enemy is the key."
"We won't go to the construction area, find no enemy, and then turn back. We must find our enemy and eliminate them. So, in this Underworld Queen's District, it doesn't really matter where we go," said Yama.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Let's go now," the fairy said impatiently.
King Yama was the first to step through the door when, unexpectedly, a figure flashed out from behind everyone—it was King Chujiang, who was responsible for relaying information.
"A spirit has appeared at Crossroads No. 6. Physician Huo almost fell for it. We urge Lord Yue to go and deal with the enemy immediately." King Chujiang shouted as soon as he appeared.
"Take me there." Wang Yao nodded. They hadn't encountered any enemies along the way, so it seemed that Zhu Cong and You Junda's spirit forms were probably near the front lines, looking for an opportunity to attack the immortals who were assisting the ghosts in their defense.
Information from the Malaysian stock market hasn't arrived yet, so Wang Yao is really unsure about heading to the construction zone. However, the news of the discovery of spirit entities at the front is indeed good news. By dealing with the two known spirit entities, they can buy some time and wait for information from the human realm.
So Wang Yao asked King Chujiang to take him back without saying a word.
"I'll go too." When the fairy heard that Wang Yao was going to turn back, she was afraid of leaving her and the three Yama Kings in the depths of the Underworld, so she hurriedly called out.
"Repair the protective shield for me before you leave," Emperor Song hurriedly called out.
In fact, their teleportation didn't take much time, and the protective shield had only been on for a short while. However, Emperor Song was cautious, fearing that if Wang Yao and the fairy maiden stayed away for too long, the protective shield on their bodies wouldn't be able to hold until the immortals returned.
Without wasting words, the fairy maiden cast a protective shield on each of the four Yama Kings present, and then, together with King Chujiang, they teleported back in an emergency.
When they came over, Yama was cautious. He would check the Yin Soul Guide each time before teleporting, and he always left room for maneuver in the teleportation distance, never reaching the farthest distance that they could teleport.
When they returned, the fairy knew there were no enemies along the way. She teleported at the maximum distance each time, almost without stopping. She and Wang Yao teleported back to the West Sixth District in a series of flashes.
At the front line of Crossroad 5, the ghostly flow was surging. Not to mention low-level corpse puppets, even high-level corpse puppets and beast-shaped corpse puppets had all been wiped out.
The reason was that King Chujiang and King Yama had secretly communicated and knew that the enemy was running out of manpower. King Yama and the Ghost King took to the field one after another, and with the support of the immortals, they wiped out the enemy's offensive force, but also brought out that spirit.
Fortunately, Doctor Huo was always cautious and immediately teleported away upon discovering the spirit, thus avoiding being tricked. However, when Wang Yao returned, he could no longer find any trace of the spirit.
The appearance of that spirit was so sudden that by the time Doctor Huo left, the ghosts tried to entangle it again, but it had already disappeared somewhere. The spirit had shed its immortal body and was completely transparent. It was really hard to find it if it hid in some corner of the corridor.
Wang Yao and the fairy maiden strolled back and forth at the No. 5 intersection several times, but they couldn't lure out the spirit of the mutated Zhu Cong like they had done before.
“This can’t go on. Your underworld’s surveillance still has some problems. It would be best to lock onto the essence. Otherwise, we’ll get no results. Going back and forth like this is just wasting too much time,” the fairy said to King Chujiang.
King Chujiang was dumbfounded to discover that the semen had been hidden. He hurriedly agreed to increase the resolution of the frontline surveillance and add more cameras.
At the same time, all ghosts were required to closely monitor the movement of the spirit. Once the spirit was discovered, they were to hold it back even if it meant sacrificing their own lives, and wait for Wang Yao to return and destroy it.
Thus, Wang Yao and his companion made a wasted trip and teleported back to the West Fifth District once more.
At an intersection where West Sixth District and West Fifth District meet, Wang Yao and Xiangu appeared in a flash, but then disappeared again in a flash.
“That’s…that’s my…father’s…friend!” A voice rang out from the crossroads, but it was none other than Hui Shuo.
“I told you we could catch up, and look, we’ve spotted your friend.” Eunuch Wei said with a smile from behind Hui Shuo.
