Chu Li came out of the death of the underworld, the time was three o'clock in the underworld, and there was still time before the agreed six o'clock.

So Chu Li, under the leadership of the soul aggregate, walked into the soul return hall.

This temple of restitution, the size of half a football field, was built by the Lord of the Underworld himself to return the evil spirits in his body to the vicar.

The most basic job of the Underworld in the human world is to maintain the balance between evil spirits and humans, and at the same time, return the souls of those dead evil spirits to the underworld.

However, there have been many powerful evil spirits in the human world that are beyond human imagination, and enemies of this level cannot be solved by the Hades.

Therefore, the work of recovering the powerful evil spirits was handed over to the more powerful underworld agents.

It's just that every time a powerful evil spirit is returned to the underworld, it costs a lot of merit, so the recovery of this kind of evil spirit is progressing quite slowly.

By Chu Li's generation, there were already more than 4,000 evil spirits in his body that had terrified the world.

The reason why the underworld wants to recover the evil spirits born in the human world is that the soul is the key to the continuous production of source spirit particles in the underworld.

Especially those evil spirits who have a sage-level monk.

After their souls are released by a special formation, they can produce source spirit particles that can be used by a continent in the underworld for tens of thousands of years.

It is precisely because of the importance of retrieving evil spirits that the Lord of Hades provides so many privileges to the vicar.

The Soul Return Hall where Chu Li is now was built by the Lord of the Underworld for thousands of years.

In the center of the return hall is a huge and bottomless abyssal hollow, and the dark green light shining in the cave illuminates the gloomy hall extraordinarily.

Chu Li, who was standing in front of the hollow, sighed, closed his eyes and chanted a mysterious incantation.

As the demonic qi released by Chu Li continued to fill the entire Soul Return Hall, the huge formation centered on the void that covered the entire ground, walls, and ceiling gradually lit up with blood-red light.

"Soul, manifest!"

Chu Li slowly raised his hand, and large and small golden light clusters began to pour out from his body.

Sleeping in those dozen or so clusters of merit light were terrifying evil spirits of different appearances.

Some look baby-sized, while others look burly and powerful.

Among these evil spirits that were about to be returned was the eight-armed Buddha who had fought for Chu Li.

The eight-armed Buddha, who already had merit in his body, finally had a chance to return to the underworld after Chu Li's efforts during this time.

Just opened his eyes and looked up at the merit light cluster in mid-air and sighed.

"Well, there are only fourteen. ”

"Even if we wait until the day the crack is repaired, we won't be able to return it. ”

However, in this regard, Chu Li could only say that he would do his best, after all, merit is not something to be earned.

"Soul, give it back!"

Chu Li raised his hands high, and the demonic qi on his body was released again, and the fourteen merit light clusters were continuously compressed, and then sent to the void that shone green light one by one.

In order to absorb the soul energy that erupted from the light cluster, the abyssal void shook violently.

At the same time, the array that shone with red light gradually became golden, and the abyssal void began to become quiet.

The intermittent vibrations lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and the Abyss Void finally absorbed all fourteen evil spirit souls.

As the large array of light in the Soul Return Hall gradually dimmed, the green light of the abyssal void turned from black to white.

Then there was a "boom", and a pure white pillar of light shot out of the void towards the sky.

The pillar of light formed by the convergence of soul energy, will

It will be returned to the absorption array on the second floor of the temple to collect, and then transferred to the various continents of the underworld.

There is a lot of soul energy released by the fourteen powerful evil spirits, and it takes more than half a month to absorb the array.

Although it sounds like a lot of money, it is still a drop in the bucket in the vast underworld.

If the rift between the two realms is not repaired, the source spirit particles will only lose more and more seriously.

"Forget it, I won't care about this kind of trouble, just be yourself. ”

Chu Li, who had completed the return of his soul, stretched his waist, and when he walked out of the hall gate, he met the old man waiting outside the hall.

The old man was dressed in a blue-and-white costume, and he was already gray-haired.

However, his waist is still straight, and his eyes are bright, not like an old man should be.

"It's been a long time, the current agent. ”

The old man's voice was very kind, and he didn't have a posture at all.

Chu Li helped his glasses: "Obviously, I only saw it when I handed over my position half a year ago, old man Lu." ”

The person standing in front of Chu Li was none other than the previous underworld agent of the human world, whose name was Lu Tiancang.

Don't look at him still in good spirits, his real age is already two thousand years old.

In a sense, Lu Tiancang is still Chu Li's elder, because he has followed the cultivation of Chu Li's father, Xiao Fan.

"Hehehe, when people are old, they will always be forgetful. ”

Lu Tiancang smiled and brushed his beard, "How about the messenger of the Heavenly Realm, do you want to chat with me, a bad old man?"

Chu Li did not refuse, and followed Lu Tiancang to a room in a side hall.

The two of them, who were thousands of years apart in age, didn't pay much attention to etiquette, and sat directly on the ground in the room, and Lu Tiancang also made tea for Chu Li.

Chu Li, who pursed his lips, looked at the layout of the room: "You really like to pick this kind of ancient style room." ”

"Hehe, this is called tradition in my time. ”

After Lu Tiancang finished speaking, he smiled and poured tea for Chu Li.

"How do you feel about staying in the Underworld Department recently?" asked Chu Li.

After each deputy leaves office, he can go to the Ministry of Hades to serve as a minister, and is responsible for dealing with the affairs of the human world with the Ministry of Hades.

"Alas, don't mention it. ”

Lu Tiancang smiled and shook his head, "I wanted to be able to rest more when I got old, but I didn't expect it to be getting busier and busier." ”

"That's your choice. Obviously, you can retire in the underworld or the human world, but you have to be a minister. ”

"Hehe, you young people are working so hard, you have to let us old men use their spare heat. ”

"Okay, I'm not very good at small talk, tell me why you came to me all of a sudden. ”

"Actually, it was the Lord of the Underworld who suddenly summoned me and asked me something about the human world. I noticed something strange about the return to the temple, so I went to look for it. ”

"The old head looked for you?"

"That's right, they asked me about the Monk League, the Hidden Society, and the Eight Methods of the Dragon Vein. ”

Chu Li frowned: "You should be able to find out this kind of thing when you were in the human world, why didn't you tell the ancient head about it." ”

Lu Tiancang shook his head and sighed, his expression helpless.

"Two hundred years ago, I was calculated. After fighting with one of the holders of the Eight Methods of the Dragon Vein, he had to retreat and rest because of the Great Dao condemnation. ”

"Since then, I've rarely asked into most things in the human world, let alone investigated. ”

"I asked Hades to present the development of the human world, but the trust of the Lord of Hades in Hades has decreased, so I didn't listen to a lot of words. ”

Chu Li bit his nails: "Is it two hundred years ago, when the Dragon Vein Eight Methods and the Monk Alliance were born." ”

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, it's an eventful time in the human world right now, you know it well as a minister. ”

Lu Tiancang nodded and said frankly: "That's right, the Hades have investigated a lot of things. ”

"I need to access the files of the Ministry of Hades!"

"Huh, check the file, why is it so sudden?"

Lu Tiancang showed a puzzled expression, "The agent and the Hades Department are not in the same institution, and you can't enter the dossier building unless you have the consent of the Hades Master." ”

"It's so much trouble to get anywhere. Chu Li bit his lip, "I don't want to go to the ancient head again." ”

"Although you can't get into the dossier building, it's okay to give you a copy of what you want. ”

Lu Tiancang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Tell me, what information do you want to know?"

Chu Li pinched his chin with his hand and crooked his mouth and thought about it: "If you want to talk about the internal Monk Alliance, the Hidden Society, the Dragon Vein Eight Methods, and ...... Spirit's. ”

"Spirit Clan?" Lu Tiancang frowned.

"That's right, the Spirit Race has been moving around the human realm a lot lately, and I'm really too busy to be alone. ”

Lu Tiancang scratched his forehead: "Actually, I have always been concerned about the affairs of the Spirit Clan, but the Hades Division must not be involved too deeply, otherwise it will cause the dissatisfaction of the Spirit Officer." So there may not be much information about the Spirit Race. ”

Chu Li nodded in understanding: "Then it seems that I can only go to the Spirit Realm Agent's side." ”

"There's little information, but it's ......"

Lu Tiancang's small eyes shone brightly.

"However, according to the old man's guess, the movements of the Spirit Clan are likely to point to the Supernova Project!"

"Supernova, what is the Spirit Clan doing with the Monk Realm?" Chu Li said he couldn't understand.

"That's not clear. Lu Tiancang shook his head, "In the end, it's just the old man's speculation, but you can try to check in this direction." ”

Chu Li nodded: "Okay, I'll try it." I'll leave the rest to you. ”

"Where, I want to ask you to take care of some of the juniors in the human world. ”

"That's all for today, I'll go directly to the Hades Department to find you next time we meet. ”

After Chu Li sensed the time in the underworld, he was about to stand up and leave, but he was stopped by Lu Tiancang.

"Please wait a minute, Chu Li. ”

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"The old man still wants to ask you for something. ”

"Please, tell me about it. ”

"Actually, I still have an heir in the human world, and I want you to take care of her a little. ”

"This ...... To become the head of the Ministry of Hades, you must first cut off the dust thoughts, is it a bit against the ...... for you to suddenly ask me to do such a thing?"

"Alas, for older people, this kind of thing can be said to be let go, not to mention that the current human world is stormy. ”

"This matter is against the Great Dao in a certain sense, I can't help you, just let it be. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to veto it yet. How about I exchange a vicarious guardian spirit for you?"

"Hah! You didn't hide your secrets when the agent handed over, this kind of thing is going to be a big deal if it is discovered. ”

"Don't worry, what I left behind is what I have cultivated after the Guardian Spirit of the Substitute, and you will be satisfied with me for hundreds of years. ”

"Roar, new guardian spirit......

The corners of Chu Li's mouth raised an evil smile.
