Chapter 1562: Chapter 1562: Transaction in the Underworld

Ten minutes later, a large group of ghostly soldiers knelt on the ground, with two unrecognizable figures that were the Black and White Impermanence kneeling at the very front.

A group of death messengers from the underworld couldn’t understand for the life of them why they were getting thrashed by an Earth Immortal before their eyes!

You need to know that the power of Black and White Impermanence was at the late peak stage of Hunyuan Daluo!

“This cultivator, is truly a freak!”

That’s what White Impermanence was thinking, feeling almost driven insane!

Although they frequently experienced such humiliation, thinking back to when they were beaten up by that monkey, it still wasn’t as miserable as the beating they got from Jiang Xiaobai today!

At least the monkey simply beat them up and it was over, but this guy actually beat them for more than ten minutes!

Is this guy even human?

“So now, can we sit down and talk properly?”

Jiang Xiaobai, wielding his sword Yuanhong, said indifferently.

“Absolutely, absolutely. Honorable warrior, just ask whatever questions you have, I guarantee I’ll spill everything I know!”

White Impermanence hurriedly nodded; he definitely didn’t want to endure another round of beatings.

Off to the side, Black Impermanence looked on with a face full of astonishment; his seventh brother seemed to have no sense of shame or bottom line.

“What are you staring at? I am someone with a bottom line, and it’s just that this honorable warrior has crossed it. But who said I can’t lower my bottom line?”

“If it’s lowered, isn’t it no longer crossed, and the principles not violated?”

White Impermanence asserted seriously.

At these words, everyone was shocked!

The ghostly soldiers looked as if they were seeing White Impermanence for the first time, and Jiang Xiaobai and his group were also looking at him with unbelieving eyes.

“How come the underworld is full of such jokers?”

“If your King Yama knew that his subordinates were like this, he would probably die of anger all over again.”

Jiang Xiaobai inwardly exclaimed.

He didn’t notice that, at the back of the crowd, a figure was looking on helplessly.

“These two damn things are even worse than Ox-Head and Horse-Face; they really bring shame to the underworld!”

“I can’t take it anymore; I feel like I’m about to lose it!”

“Never mind, still, I’d better hold back a bit…”

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai turned to Black and White Impermanence and asked the question he was most eager to learn.

“Does the underworld have a way to save my wife?”

The two exchanged glances and then nodded frantically.

“Absolutely, absolutely. The honorable warrior’s wife must have had her soul dispersed by someone using tricks, now only a remnant soul is left. Our underworld has two methods, one to retrieve the remnant soul, and another to re-condense the remnant soul anew.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the underworld had a method, that was enough.

This trip was truly not made in vain!

The realm of Earth Immortals is indeed the realm of Earth Immortals; they truly possess such astonishing methods and solutions!

“However, honorable warrior… the underworld is currently sealed, and even if the underworld has the methods, and there are powerful beings willing to help your wife revive, you can’t enter!”

At this time, Black Impermanence suddenly interrupted: “Right now, even we can’t easily enter the underworld; we’re only allowed to roam outside Fengdu City.”

Jiang Xiaobai was startled: “Aren’t you guys messengers of death? How come the sealing of the underworld even excludes you, as if you’re not considered one of their own!?”

“Heh, the honorable warrior jests. We are all people bound by the reincarnation seal, no matter what, we are still people of the underworld…”

White Impermanence said with a forced smile: “It’s just that the sealing of the underworld happened so suddenly that year. We were out carrying out tasks and didn’t make it back in time, so this happened…”

“So you mean to say, if the underworld doesn’t lift the seal, I can’t enter, and if I can’t enter, my wife can’t be revived?”

Jiang Xiaobai’s brows furrowed tightly; this was a big issue!

It couldn’t be that after coming all this way to the underworld, he could only watch helplessly, right?

The only chance is right before his eyes, and he feels so anxious about it!

“That’s not quite the case… Well, if the brave man is truly in a rush, we can summon Lord Zhong Kui for you. We don’t know much about the enforced seal, but Lord Zhong Kui is always stationed at the entrance of Fengdu City. Perhaps he knows some method, it’s just…”

White Impermanence said with a sheepish smile: “It’s just that Lord Zhong Kui is known for his integrity and impartiality, and since you folks are still alive, there might be some conflicts and such.”

“You don’t need to worry about that, please go ahead and trouble yourselves,”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in agreement as well.

Although he had clashed with these two before, regardless, they were still representatives of the underworld, so it was proper to give them some respect.

Immediately afterward, Black and White Impermanence began to use their methods to summon Zhong Kui.

This person was also a prominent figure in the underworld, known to be incredibly formidable, with a tremendous reputation!

As for his official rank, it was even on par with the Ten Kings of Hell, of course, this was a special appointment.

Soon, a shadowy figure appeared before them all.

From the start, Jiang Xiaobai had been waiting solemnly; after all, Zhong Kui was a significant figure and belonged to the fierce and difficult-to-deal-with type.

He knew he had to handle the situation with caution.

However, once the shadowy figure appeared, Jiang Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded; the other party was smiling broadly, with a face flushed red from drinking, looking somewhat muddled as he stared at Black and White Impermanence.

“What do you two want from me? Don’t you know I was drinking?”

“Now that the underworld is under a seal, everyone is idle with nothing to do, and you two are the busiest guarding the gates outside, speak up quickly!”

As soon as Zhong Kui spoke, his voice carried a dregs-like quality that was shocking!

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, thinking, what the heck, is this the Zhong Kui I know?

Is Zhong Kui really like this?

“Cough cough… well, Lord Zhong Kui, this brave man has come seeking your assistance!”

“Oh?”

Zhong Kui turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai, examined him carefully for a moment, and suddenly sobered up!

“A living person?”

Zhong Kui’s expression turned instantly stern as he coldly watched Jiang Xiaobai and the others: “This is the realm of the underworld, how can living people enter?”

“No matter what business you have, leave quickly, and do not commit a grave mistake!”

Zhong Kui was no longer looking drunk as before, instead, quite serious, and he rebuked them outright.

After all, the biggest taboo was for living people to come to the underworld!

“Mr. Zhong Kui, I need to save my beloved wife, and I must enter the underworld. Even if you stand in my way today, it will be to no avail.”

Jiang Xiaobai said solemnly: “Even if it means clashing with the forces of the underworld, even if it means death, I have to try to break into this underworld, to seek a way to save my wife!”

Upon hearing these words, Zhong Kui was taken aback.

Is this young man threatening me?

Is he really threatening me?

“What a joke, if anyone could just enter the underworld at will, how could it control the reincarnation of countless realms?”

“Besides, the underworld is currently sealed off, what makes you think you have the ability to enter?”

Looking at the somewhat mocking smile on Zhong Kui’s face, Jiang Xiaobai fell silent.

With the underworld under seal, it’s really difficult for him to get in!

Such sealing techniques would have remained undetectable even to Gu Ning, if not for some strange signs previously, let alone thinking of breaking through them!

“Congratulations to the host for triggering a choice!”

“Choice one: Leave the underworld and seek other methods, rewarded with one portion of merit and ten million points.”

“Choice two: Forcefully break into the underworld and shatter the seal, rewarded with a large portion of merit, two hundred million points, and one random martial arts technique.”

“Choice three: Trade with the underworld, dispel the seal (which is possible during normal years as a method of the underworld), and complete this within three months, rewarded with a partial merit golden body, one billion points, one supreme grade martial arts technique, and the opening of one ancient relic!”
