Chapter 1243: The Netherworld was Stolen

Xiao Hei took a step out of the door and staggered.

His prestige was immediately reduced.

"Hello, senior sister."

Xiao Hei stood firm and greeted Lu Zhaoling. He also clasped his fists to the emperor and Zhou Shiyue as a gesture of respect.

When he saw Yin Changxing, his mouth moved but no words came out.

But Zhou Shiyue was sharp-eyed and could tell the two words he was about to say were "a long time."

How long?

haven't seen you for a long time?

But considering that Yin Changxing was already a person from the First Xuanmen period and had gone through three lifetimes, it was normal for him to have met the Black and White Envoys.

Even Lu Xiaoer is called the eldest sister, so what's so strange about that?

When Yin Changxing came to Xiao Hei, he asked directly without any hesitation, "How is your Lord Yan these days?"

"Ah? Lord Yan... good, good, very good."

Lu Zhaoling looked at him suspiciously, "Xiao Hei, why are you stuttering?"

"Sister, I do!"

Xiao Hei immediately straightened his back.

"Haha." Lu Zhaoling looked at him with a half-hearted smile, "What a coincidence, I just asked if you wanted me to go down to the netherworld to look for our Grandma Sheng, and you came up."

"Before I said this, I didn't see any trace of you." Lu Zhaoling said.

Xiao Hei pretended to be calm, "Big Sister, I don't have a shadow in the first place."

Yin Yunting and others inexplicably felt like laughing.

Now that Xiao Hei started chatting with the senior sister, he seemed even more guilty and problematic.

"Then what are you doing here now?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Xiao Hei said, "I just came to tell you that Miss Sheng San was delayed in the Netherworld by something and can't come back for the time being. Also, Guiyuan has been cleaned up. That is..."

Having said this, he paused, as if he didn't know how to continue.

"Just what?"

Lu Zhaoling raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Also, what happened to Grandma Sheng down there? Did you guys make her work?"

Could it be that Grandma Sheng was caught in the Netherworld and forced to do hard labor?

Lu Zhaoling was even imagining that at this moment, Grandma Sheng was frying evil spirits next to the oil pan, pouring oil and making a sizzling sound, while crying, "I want to go back to the world of the living..."

"That's not true," Xiao Hei waved his hands quickly, "We all know that she is your ghost, Senior Sister, so why would we use her as a slave? But Madam Sheng San does have some skills and talents, and we have some errands that we would like her to help with."

"Those things are not finished and it's not easy to interrupt them, so she couldn't come back to tell you first. It's not convenient to go into details about what it is. As you know, some of the tasks in the Netherworld also have confidentiality clauses..."

Just wait until grandma comes back and ask her.

Lu Zhaoling was confident that he could get information out of Grandma Sheng.

Now hearing that she was staying in the Netherworld to help with the work, Lu Zhaoling felt relieved. Xiao Hei wouldn't lie to her anyway. At most he just didn't dare to tell her too much truth.

"So what did you say about the Ghostly Abyss Evil Mist?"

"We discovered that the Ghost Abyss Evil Mist has produced several underworld magical tools over the past thousand years." Xiao Hei lowered his voice.

Lu Zhaoling and the others sat up straight, their eyes shining.

Is there such a thing?

"What kind of magic weapon?" Lu Zhaoling was also very curious.

"Aren't there always some great ghost cultivators and evil ghosts who were beaten directly into the Ghost Abyss? It's inevitable that some of them once carried some good things. Ordinary things will be corroded in the evil fog within a few years. Those that can be left behind can basically be considered natural treasures."

"There are a few that have been tempered by the evil mist and absorbed its power, becoming magical instruments. For example, there is a black jade gourd that can hold a lot of evil mist and ghost energy..."

Xiao Hei stopped talking and got back to the point.

"We just found that there are two spaces with a little bit of energy left. It should have been the place where magical instruments were found, but now there is nothing there."

Yin Yunting asked, "You mean that two magic weapons were stolen from Guiyuan?"

Xiao Hei nodded, "Exactly."

Lu Zhaoling snorted.

"I guessed before that something must have happened in the Netherworld. Someone took advantage of it and made it look like a sieve. Even things in the Ghost Abyss were stolen. What on earth are you doing?"

Yin Changxing also frowned, feeling a little strange.

"Your Lord Yan used to have an iron fist. Who would dare to steal from him? How can you tolerate it now?"

"This..." Xiao Hei paused and said, "Of course Lord Yan can't tolerate this. He has already issued an order that whoever finds the thief will be rewarded heavily in the underworld."

After saying this, he swept his eyes over everyone present... and the two ghosts, and added, "I know that Senior Sister and you have been encountering various evil ghost cultivators recently, so I wanted to tell you first. If you see that thief, don't let him run away."

"Remember to inform us when you catch the thief. You can also get the reward from the underworld, which is also a good thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor seemed eager to try, but due to his age, he could not be so lively and remained reserved.

But when I glanced at Frog Brother, I could clearly see that his big eyes were shining like lights.

Receive the reward from the underworld!

He wants he wants!

No matter what the reward is, it is an honor for these little devils!

Now Madam Sheng San is already a ghost messenger of the underworld. She has passed the inspection of the Black and White Envoys and even the King of Hell, and can still live in the human world.

But he is different. He seems to be a ghost who "cannot stand ghosts". When the black and white messengers come, he subconsciously wants to hide, for fear of being caught and reincarnated.

But if he makes a contribution and gets rewarded by the Netherworld, will he be able to act uprightly in front of the Black and White Envoys in the future?

"I wonder who the thief is? What does he look like?"

"What are those two stolen magical instruments?"

The emperor asked very calmly.

If he hadn't asked in detail and repeatedly, no one would have known that he was interested.

Zhou Shiyue glanced at his father.

Tsk.

The old man has been a prince and emperor all his life, sitting on the throne, what good things has he not had? But now he is still so easily tempted, he is really getting less stable as he gets older.

Greedy, greedy.

Frog opened his already incredibly large eyes wide, eagerly waiting for Xiao Hei's answer.

Xiao Hei originally wanted to tell them about this, so he didn't hold back.

"No ghost in the Netherworld has seen who or what ghost stole the things, but there is a faint fragrance left by the Ghost Abyss. We have collected that fragrance and imprinted it on three fragrance beads. How about I leave one for you first?"

Fragrance beads?

The emperor was surprised, "You can collect the remaining fragrance?"

"Yes, there are fragrance beads in the Netherworld. If you collect the fragrance in time, you can preserve it."

"Let me smell it and see what it smells like." Lu Zhaoling said as he stretched out his hand towards Xiao Hei.
