Du Feng tried using the master-servant contract to summon the ghost servant, but he couldn't summon it back. It meant that he was either imprisoned or had gone to a relatively far place. The distance between the two places was beyond the range of the summoning.
"Brother Du, don't worry, follow me first."
Cui Daoming's attitude was ambiguous, making it hard to tell if he had good intentions or bad intentions. He had helped Du Feng once before, so he probably didn't have any bad intentions. However, he hid the ghost servant this time and refused to mention returning it to Du Feng no matter what. He could only take it one step at a time.
Du Feng had nothing to be afraid of, so he simply followed him in. The ghost cultivator who had been sent flying just now followed obediently at the side. He was already afraid of Du Feng. He was Cui Daoming's right-hand man and had the Ultimate Emperor Realm Cultivation. Although he wasn't as strong as Cui Daoming, he wasn't much weaker than Meng Po. Just a moment ago, he was sent flying by Du Feng. Even he could not believe it.
Cui Daoming had clearly seen Du Feng's strength through this test. He had indeed done the right thing back then. In the future, he might be able to escape from the Underworld with Du Feng's help.
Huh? After Du Feng followed Cui Daoming into the hall, he quickly saw something. It was the Book of Life and Death on the table. The Book of Life and Death looked like an account book. It wasn't very thick, and the side was bound with thick linen thread. It was very simple and inconspicuous. If it wasn't for the fact that it was placed in the middle of the table and had the words "Book of Life and Death" written on it, Du Feng might not have noticed it.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it, but when he looked closely, he discovered something extraordinary. His ghost servant was currently in the Book of Life and Death. Or rather, the image of the ghost servant was appearing in the Book of Life and Death. After the two of them separated, the ghost servant didn't panic, nor did he rush to find Du Feng. Instead, he continued to walk forward alone.
He was already familiar with the path, so it was impossible for him to get lost. After the ghost servant left Du Feng, he sneaked back to the wild ghost village. They rushed inside and started fighting. Wherever the Ghost Head Saber went, severed limbs flew everywhere, and round heads rolled all over the ground. The scene was bloody and terrifying. The ghosts that gathered in the Wild Ghost Village were completely wiped out. Then, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed everything.
Du Feng was a little confused as to why the ghost servant would do this behind his back. If he had suggested going to the Wild Ghost Village first, there was nothing wrong with it. What was even more strange was that the higher-ups didn't care about the ghost servants breaking the rules of the Yin World. Since Cui Daoming could see it, the other higher-ups should be able to as well.
But the truth was that no one cared about those wild ghosts that were missing arms and legs. Being eaten by the ghost servant did not cause any commotion. That was not all. The key was that after the ghost servant ate up all the ghosts in the Wild Ghost Village, he went to the Hall of Enchantment. It also ate up all the ghosts that were lost there.
The place where the ghost servant went next really shocked Du Feng. He actually went to the Department of Investigation. The Department of Investigation was Lu Zhidao's place, and this Lu Zhidao was a judge of the same level as Cui Daoming. They were all great Yin officials of the Netherworld, but the things they were in charge of were different. He didn't care about the evil spirits and helped a portion of the good spirits to relieve their suffering. To put it bluntly, he was in charge of giving out benefits.
After the ghost servant entered the Department of Investigation, the Book of Life and Death could not be seen. It could only show the door of the Department of Investigation, but it could not see the situation inside. After all, Lu Zhidao was a great Yin official of the same level as Cui Daoming. His hall was also protected by a barrier, so it was not easy to spy on him.
It was said that one's heart was unpredictable, but he did not expect that the ghost's heart was also unpredictable. The ghost servant had been with Du Feng for a period of time, and there was a master-servant contract. If he had second thoughts, as his master, Du Feng should be able to sense it. He did not expect that this fellow would sneak away when he entered the Underworld to do his own things without letting his master know.
If it was outside, the ghost servant would be discovered by Du Feng if he went a little further, and he would not be able to run away. However, it was different in the Underworld. Various places here were separated by spatial nodes. Once he slipped away, it would be difficult to find him. If not for Cui Daoming's help, Du Feng would not have known where the ghost servant had gone.
He ran into the Department of Investigation. Did he want to hide inside and not come out, so that he could get rid of his identity as a ghost servant? The ghost servant was ultimately a servant, and he had to serve human warriors. If he did not follow Du Feng, he could cultivate freely according to his own thoughts.
"Forget it, let him be."
Du Feng sighed and shook his head. It had not been easy for the ghost servant to follow him through life and death all these years. If he really wanted to pursue freedom, then let him be.
Just as he said this, there was a new movement in the Book of Life and Death. The ghost servant actually walked out of the Department of Investigation. He looked around and then used a strange movement technique. What did he mean? Was he going somewhere else?
"Brother Du, are you here?"
Then, the voice of the ghost servant came from outside the city gate of Fengdu City. It turned out that after he left the Department of Investigation, he came to Fengdu City to look for Du Feng. In other words, this fellow had no intention of escaping. Since that was the case, why did he have to do those things secretly?
"Come in!"
Cui Daoming waved his hand and asked his ghost cultivator assistant to bring the ghost servant in. At the same time, he put away the Book of Life and Death and even gave Du Feng a look.
"Brother Du, you're really here. It took me a long time to find you."
After the ghost servant saw Du Feng, he was still the same as before. He said that he had lost Brother Du just now, so he went everywhere to look for him. Therefore, he went to the wild ghost village and the Hall of Ecstasy. He even broke into the Department of Investigation to look for him, but he almost couldn't come out. Fortunately, the head of the Department of Investigation, Lu Zhidao, was easy to talk to and finally let him go.
"It's okay, it's good that you're back."
After listening to the description, Du Feng felt that it was similar to what he had seen in the Book of Life and Death. The suspicious thing was why the ghost servant did not come to Fengdu City to look for him first, nor did he talk about the Department of Investigation in detail. One had to know that Lu Zhidao of the Department of Investigation was a judge. If he really broke in by mistake, it would not be so easy to come out. The two probably knew each other.
After listening, Du Feng waved his hand and put away the ghost servant. Then, he got up and said goodbye to Cui Daoming. Previously, Cui Daoming handed him a purple token and said that he could only check it after leaving the underworld. If he checked it before going out, the secret would be revealed.
