That build doesn't look like any animal I know! The creature's chest and belly are arched high, its legs are noticeably longer than its arms, and it can jump with force... more like a primate.

There were no animals in the mall, and this thing looked quite intelligent. It seemed to have been eavesdropping on us and ran away immediately when it was discovered.

Could this be the culprit behind controlling ghosts

My brother is bold and meticulous. He knocked over all the racks and mannequins in the women's clothing department. After running a few circles, it was clearly slowed down and hindered by these obstacles.

I stood at the intersection leading to the restroom. A gust of wind swept across the ground, and the unconscious security guard behind me suddenly rose like a puppet on strings.

The Seal of Imprisoning Demons is one of the most familiar seals I've learned. As my cultivation progresses, statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the two deities of the Netherworld, have begun to appear on the Ghost Gate.

Perhaps one day, I will be able to summon a ghost gate like Jiang Qiyun's.

That time I was caught by Mu Yunliang in the ancient Chumo stronghold, he summoned the Ghost Gate instantly dragging away countless restless ghosts who refused to pass on. This scene is deeply etched in my memory.

Back then… he was… quite handsome.

I couldn't help but smile, he had only left a few days ago, and I was already lost in silly thoughts of him. It was as if every action, every word he said, felt so sweet in my memory.

No way... He has his bad days too.

I don't think I've ever complimented his looks, and he hasn't commented on mine either.

It wasn't until this brief separation that I realized how perfect and flawless the image of your voice, features, and laughter were in my memory.

I dodged the chains flying out of the Ghost Gate. The chains dragged a female ghost from the small security guard, who wailed for mercy all the way.

Ghost, eerie.

Don't believe in ghosts.

"Master, please spare my life... I meant no offense to you, I only wish to be free from these shackles... If there were just someone to take my place, I could be set free!"

"You are already a ghost, this world is not where you should stay. Go to the underworld and reincarnate sooner." I looked at this female ghost, her lower body was twisted and broken, with internal organs and intestines exposed in the middle.

It should be the female ghost that the male ghost just said, who jumped from a building and was broken in two

I truly don't know why they didn't cherish their life more. Seeing themselves like this now, would they still choose to jump It's a pity there are no pills for regret.

The female ghost pleaded, “Master, please spare my life… I… I don’t want to go to the underworld, I still want to stay in —”

"You're already dead, why linger here and add to your karma While your sins are not yet heavy, go to the underworld soon... Otherwise, if you harm too many people and are then taken away by a ghost messenger, you will suffer much more."

I watched her die a tragic death. With compassion, I pinched a golden bridge to the underworld finger seal and recited a spell to guide her spirit.

Who knew this female ghost, unwillingly, said: "No no, that won't happen. I will not be taken away by the Ghost Messenger—"

I was stunned and stopped my finger movements.

"Why How can you be so sure that you won't be taken by the ghost messengers"

"Because we—" she didn't finish, suddenly smoke erupted from her body, rolling and writhing in pain like she was being seared. A horrific shriek made my scalp crawl.

A gust of wind rose, and two small demons appeared beside the female ghost. One held a soul-snaring rope, the other a summoning paper, dressed in grey robes and with gloomy faces.

"Ah... See the little Mistress..." The imp, holding a soul-collecting rope, stretched out his smile and bowed to me.

These low-level little devils usually work in pairs, with a fancy name of "Soul Imprisoners." The one holding the chains is the main imp, and the one holding the summoning paper is the deputy.

I sized up the two little imps: “Do you recognize me”

The little ghost clerk chuckled and said, "Your Majesty's esteemed consort, the wife of the Underworld god, how could we possibly not know her..."

"You're in charge of managing this area Why allow these monsters to harm people If you're incapable of handling it, why not report it to higher authorities" I asked with a frown.

The little ghost messenger was taken aback, probably not expecting me to question them. He immediately smiled and said, "Little lady, you might not be familiar with the affairs of the underworld. This is the capital city, hehe, our Old King manages this area, and we're severely understaffed..."

Old Master Wang

How can even a lowly errand boy under the emperor's feet be so slick-tongued

"Ah, Old Wangye is what we little soldiers call him, the City God of our place, King Fulingming!" The little demon said with a touch of pride.

Aizen Myo-O.

I know that.

The City God is a local official who protects each city and is also responsible for specific yin-yang affairs. Otherwise, wouldn't every person's life and good and evil be completed by the Heavenly Emperor's Hall That's unrealistic.

The yin officials in the Heavenly Emperor's Hall were only responsible for reviewing the Book of Life and Death submitted by local city gods and had the final say in judgment.

Chinese officials were divided into ranks and categories, including those in the capital, local officials, and provincial governors.

The Underworld also has different levels of City God.

The City God of Beijing is called King, also known as Fuling Mingwang, the most honorable and prominent figure among the City Gods; the City God of the capital is equivalent to the governor of a province in the human world. He holds the rank of Duke, comparable to the three Dukes and nine ministers in terms of status, referred to as Mingling Gong.

The City God of a prefecture is also a duke, called the Duke of Weiling, equivalent to the mayor of a municipality directly under the central government; the City God of a state is equivalent to the mayor of a prefecture-level city, called Lingyou Hou; the City God of a county is the county-level mayor, called Xianyou Bo.

My brother once complained about corruption in the underworld. It's unavoidable, because underworld deities receive the most incense from humans, and the City God of the imperial city, especially... is a big shot.

Look at the smug expressions on these two little devils; they're not cute at all.

“Is severe understaffing the reason for neglecting your duties If I hadn't arrived today, wouldn't you have just continued to claim 'understaffing' ” I asked coldly.

The little devil's black face turned even darker, and he smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness please calm down... this... we are just small soldiers running around, it is inevitable that there might be some omissions..."

“This is clearly a setup, needing the life force of living people to sustain it Is it raising corpses or zombies Don’t you know what’s going on here but choose to ignore it” I glared at the ghost officer’s face, asking in an irritated tone.

The little demon's face twitched twice, his smile becoming even more hideous: "This, this... the young mistress blames us... we will take this female ghost away right now! We will take her away immediately!"

He winked at his partner, who immediately vanished with the female ghost, as if afraid I'd discover some secret.

I have begun to doubt.

These two little devils put on a show of compliance, but they clearly weren't. In a place with so many unsolved murders over the years, there are bound to be strange things happening. This definitely points to someone secretly plotting, and they’re turning a blind eye to it all.

"Xiao Qiao, be careful!" My brother's voice suddenly woke me up!

I turned my head, and the black "animal" suddenly lunged at me from a diagonal angle——will he goDid the Master let him go through the underworld so that his soul would have a place to return toIn recent interactions, the Witch Clan appears to exist apart from heaven and earth. They are...
