King Yama stepped forward and carefully examined the ghostly corpses that filled the corridor, then nodded slightly.
"This method of transforming corpse energy is quite ordinary. It should have been provided by the Ghost Lord to the Foreign God. The Foreign God probably doesn't have this kind of method, otherwise he wouldn't use such an inefficient method. Even I know several more efficient methods than this one," said Yama.
"It's this Corpse Qi Bewitching Ghost. This kind of thing is a scourge unique to the Underworld. Who would have thought that the Foreign God would also use such methods? Otherwise, if it were just a spirit, we would have guessed that the Foreign World was up to something long ago," Emperor Song murmured.
"This stairwell is crammed with ghost corpses. How did the spirits get in and out? And how did they escape?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask.
“The spirits are tangible but intangible, so they can move around among these ghost corpses without any problem. As for the foreign god and that ghost god, they must have filled the corridor again from the outside after they left, just to buy us time and prevent us from catching up quickly,” said Yama.
King Qin Guang reached out and pulled out a ghost corpse. The corridor was packed with ghost corpses, and even though King Qin Guang pulled one out, the others were still tightly stacked together, with little loosening.
"How many ghosts did he kill to build such a huge corpse mound? What the hell was that Guqi doing? So many ghosts were missing from the floors, and he didn't even notice?" King Qin Guang muttered, looking at the male ghost corpse at his feet, dressed in a half-new, half-old Western-style dress.
Wang Yao discovered that the ghost corpse's body had become pitted and uneven due to its transformation into corpse energy, but some facial features could still be discerned, so it didn't seem to be a maintenance ghost from the Underworld Queen's District or a construction ghost from the building construction district.
“Gu Qi’s responsibility must be investigated. Such a large corpse mound, although it will continue to be filled with new ghost corpses, must have been of such a scale from the beginning in order to generate enough corpse energy to pollute the entire West Fifth District.”
"At that time, it's likely that all the ghosts in the entire Underworld District were kidnapped. The most important area of the floor he was responsible for, an entire functional area, was completely paralyzed, and he was completely unaware of it. He was kept in the dark beforehand, which is truly despicable!"
Yama, the King of Hell, nodded in agreement.
“I heard that there were still ghosts in the Underworld District when the incident happened, otherwise the exhaust fans in the West Fifth District wouldn’t have been shut down in time. Even the ghosts working here didn’t notice anything unusual, so it’s understandable that Gu Qi was completely unaware.” Song Diwang pleaded for Gu Qi on the side.
King Qin Guang and King Yama glanced at King Song, but said nothing more.
Floor Zero is a very important floor in the Underworld. As a floor master, Gu Qi's status is higher than that of many other floor masters. As a Ghost Commander, it's inevitable that Gu Qi has close ties with some of the Kings of Hell to be able to sit in this position, and both Kings of Hell are well aware of this.
Although the Netherworld suffered heavy losses in this great calamity of corpse energy, and the dangers involved were breathtaking, Gu Qi, the owner of Floor Zero, will definitely be held accountable. However, since Yama is speaking up for him, he will certainly take that into consideration when determining the specific punishment.
The severity of the situation depends on how many Yama Kings speak up for him. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for King Song to explain on behalf of Gu Qi in the eyes of King Qin Guang and King Yama. They also have confidants who serve as floor masters on other floors, or who are qualified to serve as floor masters.
Both of them are probably already considering which one to choose to take over Gucci's position.
"Since you're here, let's dismantle this corpse-energy mound. The specific removal of the corpse energy will have to wait for the immortals to come and clean up the mess. Please make way." King Qin Guang greeted the others, raised one hand, and thick yin energy transformed into several thick ropes, which wrapped around the ghostly corpses blocking the corridor.
With a slight flick of his wrist, the Yin Qi ropes snapped back, pulling out dozens of ghostly corpses that had been entangled in the stairwell. The ghostly corpses blocking the stairwell could no longer hold on and finally collapsed.
King Qin Guang waved his hands repeatedly, and in an instant, the corridor was filled with yin energy, and ghostly corpses fell to the ground one after another. King Song Di also used a small spell to summon dozens of skeletons to drag the ghostly corpses backward along the corridor. They would tear them apart, drag them forward, and then move forward again.
Wang Yao discovered that the number of incomplete ghost corpses in the depths of the corridor had greatly increased. In some places, hundreds of ghost artifacts could fall out at once, indicating that the ghost bodies had long since turned into corpse energy.
The skeletons dragged the corpses much slower than King Qin Guang destroyed the corpse mound. Before they knew it, they had already walked a long way on the ghost corpses. Wang Yao saw that the place where the corpse mound had collapsed ahead seemed to be at the end of the alley.
The wall at the end also resembled egg white, but unlike the cracks they had seen before, it was smooth. Instead, the egg white was constantly churning, and many bubbles could be seen rising within it, as if it were being boiled.
But the egg-white wall was like a sharp blade, cutting the ghost corpse cleanly in half. No matter which part of the ghost's body was against the wall, it looked as if it had been flattened along the wall.
But when King Qin Guang's Yin Qi ropes dragged out those ghost corpses, Wang Yao discovered that the parts of those ghost corpses that looked like they had been cut off by the wall were actually still intact.
"The path to death must be just ahead, right?" Wang Yao asked the King of Hell beside him.
"Whether it's a dead end or a path to life, there's a passage ahead, but I don't know where it leads," the fairy muttered.
"This should be the passage to the human world you mentioned. Let's go take a look," said Yama, the King of Hell.
After listening to King Yama's words, King Qin Guang stopped dismantling the corpse mound and instead walked towards the wall along the slope of the collapsed corpse mound. Wang Yao watched as King Qin Guang disappeared into the egg-white wall and hurriedly followed.
