Hearing these words, Li Gui became even more certain that this person was the contact.
They said those were a group of moody lunatics, and it seemed to be true.
But this matter was of great importance, and he had to probe further.
"May I ask which esteemed lord of the Divine Religion you serve?"
Upon hearing the words "Divine Religion," Yu Daohen instantly lost his composure, his face darkening.
Why would someone from the Divine Religion be here?!
Could it be that there was something here they desired?
Seeing Yu Daohen's grim expression, Li Gui quickly explained, "Daoist Master, please don't misunderstand. I meant no offense by inquiring. I merely wished to confirm your identity, with no ulterior motives."
No, this matter absolutely had to be clarified!
The Divine Religion harbored a bold conjecture, but then he shook his head and dismissed it.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Without hesitation, Yu Daohen blurted out, "I am a subordinate of the Divine Religion's Right Envoy, Huang Yueji."
Upon hearing that he was a subordinate of Huang Yueji, Li Gui was slightly puzzled.
Didn't Master Ma say that the contact was a subordinate of the Left Envoy, Li Tiandao? How did it turn out to be a subordinate of the Right Envoy, Huang Yueji?
However, it didn't matter. As long as someone from the Divine Religion had arrived, it was fine.
Li Gui cupped his hands and inquired, "May I know your esteemed name?"
Hearing the question about his name, Yu Daohen immediately became furious. "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing Yu Daohen's rage, Li Gui almost fell to his knees and quickly said, "It was my fault for being too talkative."
Yu Daohen suppressed his anger, realizing that this fellow likely didn't know the contact's true purpose. He slowly said, "I am the foremost general under Huang Yueji, Su Lai!"
Li Gui, with a fawning smile, said, "So it is Lord Su. Please forgive my earlier offense."
"It's nothing. Being cautious is a good thing," Yu Daohen nodded with satisfaction, chuckling inwardly.
Glad you believed it.
On a small boat sailing on a river in the Yellow River, Su Lai couldn't help but sneeze.
"Achoo!"
Su Lai rubbed his nose, looking puzzled. "With my robust health, I shouldn't be catching a cold. Is someone cursing me?"
"But speaking of which, how is Master Yu's cultivation progressing?"
A few days ago, he had received news that Master Yu was going into seclusion for half a year.
The two of them had even invited Da Hu for a drink.
Returning to the present.
Yu Daohen looked at Li Gui, as if asking a rhetorical question, "Do you know the purpose of my visit this time?"
Li Gui, now firmly believing Yu Daohen's identity as a member of the Divine Religion, nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I do."
"Oh?" Yu Daohen chuckled lightly. "Tell me then."
Li Gui began to explain, "Actually, the reason for summoning Lord Su here is to discuss the matter of the entrance to hell."
Hearing this, Yu Daohen's expression changed drastically. "What? Explain yourself clearly!"
Li Gui took a step back in fright. While he knew the Divine Religion was very concerned about the entrance to hell, he hadn't expected such a strong reaction.
"Tell me quickly," Yu Daohen's face was extremely serious as he looked at Li Gui.
Li Gui didn't speak immediately but offered a fawning smile. "My lord, this..."
Yu Daohen immediately understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged."
Hearing Yu Daohen's promise, Li Gui's face lit up with a smile. "Thank you, my lord, thank you."
His original intention was to exchange the location of the entrance to hell for some benefits.
Yu Daohen nodded. "Speak."
Li Gui then began, "My lord, I know the location of the entrance to the first level of hell."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohen was overjoyed, but a murderous intent began to stir within him.
What he dared not imagine had indeed come true. This fellow knew the location of the entrance to hell, but it was only the first level.
Yu Daohen's expression turned grim. "Do you know the consequences of deceiving me!"
Li Gui quickly replied, "I would never dare, my lord can rest assured."
Yu Daohen nodded, his face expressionless, but his mind was still reeling from the shock of the news.
"Shall I take you to see it now?" Li Gui said obsequiously.
Yu Daohen didn't answer, but he had already made up his mind that this ghost could not be allowed to live.
Now, he just didn't know how many people this fellow had told about the location of hell, or if everyone present knew.
Seeing Yu Daohen lost in thought, Li Gui tentatively said, "My lord?"
Yu Daohen snapped back to attention, a smile appearing on his face. "What did you say?"
Li Gui chuckled. "Shall I take you to see the entrance to hell now?"
"Alright," Yu Daohen agreed, then pressed further, "How many people know about this entrance to hell?"
Li Gui glanced at the five spirit ghosts beside him and smiled. "Only we six ghosts know. I haven't informed any other ghosts beforehand."
He understood that the more people who knew, the fewer benefits he would receive.
This was a situation where there were many wolves and little meat; the fewer ghosts who knew, the better.
A ghost who doesn't look out for himself will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
Yu Daohen nodded, looking at him with admiration. "Good, very good. If this entrance to hell is real, you, and the other five of you, will all be richly rewarded!"
The five ghosts beside him were overjoyed, unable to contain their happiness, but they dared not interject.
If they said anything wrong, not only would they not receive any benefits, but their lives could also be at risk.
Li Gui looked at the five ghosts. "Why don't you thank my lord quickly?"
Upon hearing this, the five ghosts finally spoke their thanks. "Thank you, my lord."
Yu Daohen waved his hand and then looked at Li Gui again. "Where is this entrance to hell located?"
Li Gui chuckled, "It's far away, yet right before your eyes."
"You mean the entrance to hell is located...?" Yu Daohen found it hard to believe.
He hadn't expected the entrance to hell to be beneath this school.
Why hadn't he discovered it before?
No, he hadn't been in this line of work before, so how could he have known?
Although he enjoyed researching gods and ghosts, it was mostly guesswork, learned entirely from watching Uncle Ying's movies.
He didn't even know his own grandfather was a top expert ranked fifth on the Black List.
"My lord, please follow me," Li Gui said, stepping out of the classroom.
Yu Daohen followed without a word.
The five spirit ghosts behind them also followed.
They arrived at the sports field and saw over fifty small ghosts kneeling on the ground. However, they were all spirit ghosts, not a single fierce ghost among them. Some hadn't even reached the level of spirit ghosts, being no different from ordinary souls.
However, this also indicated that this fierce ghost was likely the leader of this group of ghosts.
Yu Daohen looked confused. "What is this?"
Li Gui chuckled obsequiously, "We originally intended to give my lord a welcoming ceremony, but we didn't expect my lord to arrive five days early."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohen's expression changed slightly.
It seemed that the person from the Divine Religion was scheduled to meet this fellow five days later.
However, this also gave him time to plan carefully.
Yu Daohen sighed and explained, "There's nothing that can be done. The higher-ups attach great importance to this matter, which is why they sent me ahead. According to the original plan, it should have been a subordinate of the Left Envoy."
