The ghost officials surged forward, vowing to kill these two daring bastards!
Lou Xiaoyi took a step forward and swung his golden truncheon down, colliding with the pitchfork of one of the ox-headed officials. He only felt a strong surge of brute force. Even though he had experienced hundreds of battles, he still found it hard to resist!
However, he was still experienced and didn't use brute force. The golden truncheon spun and sealed the pitchfork outside. He raised his leg and kicked the ox-headed official, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the palace wall. He didn't seem to be hurt. He shook his head and stood up again. An ominous glint flashed in his eyes and he pounced forward again with his pitchfork!
Lou Xiaoyi's heart sank. He knew he was in trouble! In a special place like the Netherworld, where his abilities were sealed, the gap between him and these ghost officials wasn't as big as he imagined!
Of course, this had a lot to do with the fact that he wasn't holding a real sword. In theory, whether or not he was holding a sword shouldn't have any effect on him. However, the problem was that the quality of this golden truncheon was too good. It was a bit too heavy! It was so heavy that his sealed body couldn't handle it very well.
The golden truncheon wasn't the best weapon for these ghost bodies in the Netherworld! Everything was abnormal. If the golden truncheon could retain its original properties, it wouldn't even need to be wielded against the ghost body. Just the layer of light from the truncheon would be enough to make the ghost body vanish into thin air. But now, it was just a slightly heavier metal truncheon.
The golden immortals' restrictions weren't only for people, but also for objects!
The ox-headed official was already so difficult to deal with. There were at least hundreds of ghost officials here who were similar to the ox-headed official. Among them, there were many whose positions were higher than the ox-headed official and the horse-faced official!
The golden truncheon flipped, sending a few ghost officials flying. His judgment was very clear. He shouted at Daoist Cen:
"If you don't leave now, you can only stay here as a ghost for the rest of your life!"
He didn't care whether Daoist Cen would listen to him or not. He jumped onto the deer carriage, shook the reins and ran. He felt the carriage sink. It was definitely Daoist Cen, but it couldn't be the reapers because they didn't have any weight.
The deer carriage wasn't fast, especially for someone like Lou Xiaoyi. It was as slow as a snail. However, speed was relative. It was better to be faster than the reapers.
He waved the golden mace and swept away the obstacles in front of him. Firstly, his ability was indeed impressive. Secondly, it seemed that the reapers were not using their full strength.
When the deer carriage started moving, the ghostly wails behind them slowly stopped and gradually faded away. They began to go in circles in the huge underworld of the underworld.
Daoist Cen was very dissatisfied. "Baili, you're not very good at being a strong man! He actually ran faster than the main character! Moreover, I didn't think that the famous Number One Sword of the Origin World would be so battered and exhausted when dealing with these weaklings! "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled faintly. "I did run a little fast, I admit! But Old Cen, you didn't say anything first. The moment you came up, you had the intention to destroy the entire Ghost Envoy residence. Isn't this too unkind?
It's fine if you don't greet me, but you're also ridiculously wrong about the strength of the ghost servants here. Tell me, how do you explain this? "
Daoist Cen was rendered speechless! The sword cultivator saw through his intentions with a single glance!
His so-called terms were proper overbearing terms. They were not for negotiation at all, but to find a way to destroy the sect! How could he not know that there was no room for negotiation? Therefore, he could only find an excuse to let the reapers make the first move. Then, he and the Swordsman would take the opportunity to exterminate these arrogant reapers. The only way to solve this problem was to establish a new bureaucratic system in the underworld.
He didn't say this out loud because he was worried that the Swordsman wouldn't be willing to kill him.
This was a plan that he had thought of long ago. If he found too many people, he would get a share of his merit. Therefore, it was best to find someone who could solve this problem alone! But now, it seemed that the strength of these reapers was completely different from the last time he came to the underworld.
After three days of separation, he had to look at them with new eyes!
He scratched his head. "I wonder what happened? These things in the underworld seem to be a lot stronger than before. The worst thing is that they seem to have become smarter?
They were able to tell that my identity was fake with a single glance. This definitely wasn't a problem with their eyesight. Someone must have been reporting to them about the situation outside! Including the Immortal Court's indifferent attitude towards the underworld!
This isn't easy to handle.
Knowing that the underworld will change in the future, how can we make them abide by the rules? "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't say anything. He only focused on controlling the deer carriage. Since Daoist Cen didn't get a response, he could only talk to himself.
"There's a limit to the number of times we can enter the underworld! The teleportation ability of the Netherworld Portal is limited, and we can't bring too many people in!
The problem now is that we can't intimidate them in terms of strength. In terms of planning, it's hard for us to come up with a perfect plan!
I'm afraid that this trip to the underworld is a bit reckless! "
Lou Xiaoyi said indifferently. "It's you! Not us! "
Daoist Cen smiled bitterly. "I didn't tell you in advance because I thought that it would be an easy task. Who knew that these things' strength would increase by leaps and bounds after a few thousand years? Could it be that the changes in the universe before the end of the era have affected this place? Or is there someone behind this?
If someone is doing this on purpose, what's their goal? "
Seeing that Lou Xiaoyi was still hanging high in the air, Daoist Cen couldn't help but ask him, "Inspector! If you change to a sword, how many of these ghost envoys can you deal with? "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't bother with him. He answered seriously, "I can slaughter all of them within a hundred! I can't control them outside of a hundred! "
Daoist Cen was somewhat moved. If he were to join in, he could deal with twenty or thirty ghost envoys without a problem. Then, if he were to divide the ghost envoys into groups, it wouldn't be impossible for him to succeed?
However, he also knew that this was already a bit beyond the main point of the two of them working together. If in the end, the Swordsman still took the lion's share of the merit, he would be a bit unwilling!
This Swordsman was very strange. No matter who it was, as long as they cooperated with him, he would take away the majority of the benefits in the end. Moreover, he would be the one in charge of the process!
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of a better way. No matter how the Swordsman divided the merit, it would still be less than pulling in a group of people. There was no good way to choose the lesser of two evils. In this world where the fist was the most powerful, this was a law that couldn't be changed even in the underworld.
"Inspector, you're not saying anything. Are you blaming me for not telling you in advance and wanting to take all the credit for yourself?"
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "Old Cen, our cooperation has a master and a subordinate! In the Fifth Ring, I was the master and you were the subordinate. Now, in the underworld, you should be the master and I should be the subordinate. This is the way to cooperate.
What do you want me to say? If what I say doesn't make sense, then it's the same as not saying anything. If what I say makes sense and you accept it, then it will share your merit!
It's because I understand this principle and for the sake of our future cooperation that I can't say anything! "
