The two ghost officials also frowned and looked at Zheng Li. They found that there was a divine light above Zheng Li's head, which was the divine light that protected the soul.
The moment they saw this divine light, the two ghost officials finally reacted. The middle-aged man in front of them was actually an immortal official appointed by the Heavenly Court.
The two ghost officials did not dare to neglect and quickly bowed to Zheng Li and said, "Ghost officials Xie Yuan and Zheng Fang, we pay our respects to you, sir."
"Since you know who I am, please release Madam Yan immediately." Zheng Li said to the two ghost messengers.
The ghost officer on the left was startled, then said, "Sir, Zhou Ruohua's life span has ended. As ghost officers, we two have been ordered to capture her soul. We dare not let her soul leave without permission. Please forgive us, sir."
"What life span..." Zheng Li's eyes suddenly widened as he was halfway through his words. He remembered what the two had just said: 'ghost messenger', 'life span', 'soul arrest'...
At the same time, he also remembered where he had seen the dark fog before. Wasn't it at the Earth God Temple in Daliao Village? But wasn't that a dream? Could he be dreaming now?
Zheng Li quickly reached out and pinched his cheek, then his mouth curled up, it hurt!
At this moment, the people outside who came to catch the thieves also rushed into the City God Temple. Zheng Li hurriedly waved to them, but those people could not see him at all. Many people even walked past them without noticing them.
"This..." Zheng Li was shocked and stunned.
Zheng Li didn't react until the two ghost officials spoke to him again.
"Sir, the two of us are ordered by King Qin Guang to capture Zhou Ruohua's soul. We are about to return to the underworld to report. Please don't stop us." said the ghost.
Zheng Li was completely stunned. After a long while, he looked at Zhou Ruohua and said, "But she was so young, how could she have died?"
"This is fate, it has already been determined in the Book of Life and Death." The ghost replied.
Zheng Li looked at Zhou Ruohua, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Is it the wrong detention?"
"There is absolutely no mistake. Zhou Ruhua should have returned to the underworld two days ago. We came to capture her soul today, and we have allowed her to live for two more days." said the ghost.
Then, the two ghost messengers bowed to Zheng Li and said, "Sir, we are also following orders and following the law. Please don't make things difficult for us."
When Zheng Li heard this, although he felt that it was a bit outrageous to see the ghost catch the soul with his own eyes, he still gave way.
"Master Zheng, save me, please save me." Zhou Ruhua shouted in horror when he saw Zheng Li actually gave way.
The two ghost officials saw that Zheng Li was struggling, and were afraid that something unexpected would happen. The moment Zheng Li made way, they took Zhou Ruhua into the dark fog and officially set foot on the road to the underworld.
Zheng Li hurriedly looked towards the dark fog. Because the dark fog was on the courtyard wall of the City God Temple, after the ghost messenger and Zhou Ruhua disappeared, the dark fog also dissipated instantly, and only the brick wall was left in its place.
"Ouch!"
As the fog disappeared, Zheng Li's figure gradually appeared. The old man who was holding a wooden stick to catch human traffickers next to him was suddenly frightened.
"Where did you come from?" the old man asked Zheng Li in horror.
Zheng Li's face froze. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he could only point at the wall above his head and said, "I climbed over the wall... I didn't find it over there. I'll look somewhere else." After that, he quickly slipped away.
Finally, the human trafficking activity caused by Zheng Li was quelled by the arrival of the city guards, but people could no longer find the instigator Zheng Li because Zheng Li had taken his wife home during the chaos.
"What happened to you tonight?" Zheng Li's wife asked him after they got home. "You were so strange tonight. There weren't any human traffickers at all."
Zheng Li was also still in shock. He wanted to explain to his wife what had just happened, but after thinking about it, he decided it would be better not to tell her.
If his wife didn't believe him, she would definitely worry that he was sick. If she did believe him, it would be even more troublesome, because encountering a ghost in the middle of the night was not a good sign.
However, Zheng Li sat at home, holding the hot tea poured by his wife, thinking in his heart: If I want to verify whether what happened tonight is true or not, I just need to wait.
What were they waiting for? Naturally, they were waiting for the Yan family's reaction. If Zhou Ruohua was truly dead, then the Yan family would surely announce the news tomorrow.
But Zheng Li then thought of a terrifying possibility. If what he experienced tonight was true, then it would mean that his previous experiences were not dreams, but real things that happened!
When he thought of this, Zheng Li couldn't help but break out in a sweat and feel a chill in his heart! Even the hand holding the teacup began to tremble involuntarily.
