Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The expression on Ye You's face indicates that something big has happened in the underworld.
If it were something that could be resolved, he would never show this expression.
"The spirit of the lamp... was deliberately broken by someone," Night Wanderer said in a lower voice.
"It wasn't an accident?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.
She thought it had been broken accidentally.
He shook his head as he strolled around at night.
"What benefits would there be in shattering the spirit lamp? If a vengeful ghost were to roam freely, it would bring harm not only to the underworld but also to the human world." Jiang Yuan pondered, not understanding what benefits could be gained from shattering the spirit lamp.
The ghosts suppressed inside are all over a thousand years old and have committed all kinds of evil.
By deliberately breaking the lamp spirits to release them, they might end up being devoured by those vengeful ghosts themselves.
"It's of no benefit to us, but it's very beneficial to some people with ulterior motives."
"As you know, besides the vengeful ghosts, the spirit lamp also suppresses a ghost king."
Nighttime stroll reminder.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed drastically.
Ghost King!
Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
And they felt that something terrible was about to happen.
The spirit of the lamp existed before she became Yama, the King of Hell.
She learned about the suppression of evil spirits and the Ghost King by the lamp spirit from her grandfather, the judge.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, that demon king ravaged the people of a country, using their souls to nourish himself and enhance his magical power.
It is said that even the immortals could not subdue that ghost king, because that ghost king was born from the evil thoughts in people's hearts.
As long as a person harbors evil thoughts, those evil thoughts will grant the Ghost King eternal life, making it immortal and indestructible.
She had also asked why such a powerful ghost king was suppressed under the lamp spirit, and what the lamp spirit was made of, and why it could suppress such a powerful ghost king.
However--
The judge simply looked at her quietly without answering her question.
She didn't know why the Ghost King was suppressed under the lamp spirit; all she knew was that it must not be allowed to escape from the lamp spirit!
Once resurrected, coupled with the growth of evil thoughts, chaos will ensue in both the underworld and the human world!
At that time, it will be a force that ordinary people cannot handle.
"They thought that once the lamp spirit shattered, the Ghost King would be released, but they never expected that you, sir, would give up all your merits and weave your soul with your own to mend the shattered lamp spirit."
"Your actions have thwarted their plans, and you have also been implicated as a result."
Ye You continued, his gaze falling on Jiang Yuan.
If it weren't for the purpose of weaving the lamp spirit, Little Yama wouldn't have destroyed his own body.
"When you wove your soul with your body, everyone thought you had perished. In addition, several fierce ghosts escaped from the lamp spirit, causing panic among the ghosts in the underworld. The underworld was also on high alert. Later, when we received the talisman from you in the mortal world and learned that you were still alive, everyone breathed a sigh of relief."
"My lord, you are the pillar of the underworld. If you were gone, the underworld would be leaderless."
"Therefore, please make sure you live well, sir."
Night Tour looked serious and gave him instructions.
A group cannot be without a leader.
If Little Yama were to truly disappear, the underworld would be thrown into chaos, and most of the ghosts would likely side with the Ghost King.
He couldn't bear to see the underworld turned into a chaotic mess, nor could he bear to part with the beautiful scenery of the mortal world, and...
Something happened to his family!
Therefore, Little Yama must live well!
"I'm just a little weak, not to the point of dying," Jiang Yuan replied, slightly taken aback.
She was only weakened from fighting the fox demon and destroying that thousand-year-old vengeful ghost. As long as she does some good deeds or does a live stream to accumulate merit, she can recover. She is not on the verge of death.
But Ye You's words of advice made her feel like she was about to lie on a plank at any moment.
"I only wanted to warn you to be careful, sir," Night Wanderer replied.
He didn't want anything to happen to Little Yama more than anyone else, after all...
He got his current position through back channels, and Little Yama is his backer.
If his powerful backer falls, will he still have a good life?
"Although the lamp spirit has been repaired, its power is gradually weakening. I don't know how long it can suppress those vengeful ghosts. Apart from the one you destroyed, there are still two vengeful ghosts in the mortal world that escaped from the lamp spirit."
"Ox-Head and Horse-Face are chasing those two fierce ghosts. I wonder if they can take care of them."
He frowned as he strolled around at night.
Eight vengeful ghosts escaped from the lamp spirits. They killed five of them and have been searching for the remaining three in the underworld.
But the three vengeful ghosts were clever and cunning. They hid in the underworld and waited for an opportunity. When there was only one underworld official guarding the Yellow Springs Road, they joined forces to injure the official and escaped from the underworld.
One was killed, but there are two left.
These vengeful ghosts, thousands of years old, are extremely evil and have no heart whatsoever. If Ox-Head and Horse-Face cannot deal with them...
Therefore, if they are allowed to roam the mortal realm, they will surely cause trouble.
Jiang Yuan frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
A vengeful ghost that has existed for thousands of years is not something an ordinary person can deal with.
"I'll be careful," Jiang Yuan replied.
"Where is Grandpa Judge? What happened to him?" Jiang Yuan continued to ask.
Who in the underworld can easily deal with vengeful ghosts?
Grandpa Judge is undoubtedly number one.
Grandpa Judge valued the lamp spirit more than anyone else, and was more worried about the escape of the vengeful ghost than anyone else.
If the judge were to come, those three vengeful ghosts would definitely not be able to escape his grasp!
However, the judge did not come.
It's clear that something happened to the judge.
"This..." Ye You hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Ji Lü." Jiang Yuan glanced at Ji Lü, who was still lying down, and parted her thin lips slightly.
When Ji Lü was mentioned, Ye You sighed and shrugged helplessly, "The judge dealt with five fierce ghosts by himself before, but his old injuries flared up and he has new injuries. Now... he is recuperating."
