Chapter 010: The Soul Reaper

Although he did not speak, the aura and pressure emanating from him had already caused the little ghost to tremble all over

The air outside grew increasingly chilly, occasionally seeping into the room, causing even Gao Yang to feel a slight chill. When he turned around, he saw that the little ghost was covering Xie Tianyu with a blanket.

The soul-reaping agents of the underworld have been hunting for me for decades, but because I have hidden well, they have not been able to find me until now

You little rascal! Look closely, my grandfather is no ordinary person; he is a genuine deity from the heavenly realm. You, a soul collector, are at best just a salesperson working in the underworld. What are you so proud of?

It was precisely because Gao Yang perceived that this little devil was not too bad that he was willing to help him; had he been a wicked ghost, Gao Yang would have been too lazy to intervene

With a loud shout, a long whip suddenly appeared in the hand of the soul-catcher, and it struck directly towards Gao Yang.

"Kid, look at the whip!"

The Soul Snatcher was momentarily taken aback, seemingly not expecting that a living person like Gao Yang would see him. After regaining his composure, his expression turned to one of anger once again

The indoor lights flickered suddenly, the temperature also dropped abruptly, and then a tall figure appeared outside the door

Accompanied by an angry reprimand, a shadow suddenly flashed in. The lights in the room flickered even more, and the temperature dropped to the extreme

Be careful, immortal!

The words spoken by Gao Yang were not entirely clear to the soul-reaping spirit, but seeing a mere mortal daring to confront him in such a manner made him lose his composure. Although there are regulations in the underworld prohibiting harm to mortals, it is still permissible to teach them a lesson

Gao Yang steadied himself, making an effort to calm down, and only then did he look over at the soul-reaping figure.

Isn't this the token that Lord Yan brought when he entered the heavenly court

The gaze of the soul-reaping envoy did not linger on Gao Yang, but instead fixated directly on the little ghost, seemingly not believing that the man before him was the one who had just spoken.

Moreover, when the token struck him just now, he clearly felt an immense pressure, a pressure so overwhelming that it rendered him completely immobile. He thought he was doomed this time, but to his surprise, the token seemed not to intend to take his life; it was merely intent on beating him up.

The little ghost's face was pale, and he looked outside with great fear, saying: "He... he is coming!"

Upon thinking of this, he felt a significant sense of calmness in his heart

Immortal ... ...

In the blink of an eye, a blue light suddenly flashed, and the token instantly appeared in front of Gao Yang. The whip struck the token, instantly transforming into a cloud of black smoke that vanished. Immediately, another burst of light flashed from the token, and before the soul-reaping envoy could comprehend what was happening, he was struck and sent flying by a beam of light

The little ghost beside Gaoyang could only shout this one sentence before collapsing to the ground

He has no way out now and can only pretend to be impressive even more.

The little ghost looked at Gao Yang in disbelief

Gao Yang instructed the token: "Give him a good beating!"

To his surprise, he found that the soul-stirring figure was not as terrifying as he had imagined, but rather a middle-aged man dressed in a suit with a cold complexion, whose gaze was now sweeping over in this direction

The little ghost in the room listened, "I am indeed the soul-reaping envoy of the underworld. You must quickly come out and report to the underworld with me, otherwise, you will surely suffer greatly!"

The little ghost whispered

How audacious! You, a mere imp, dare to call yourself this immortal. Truly, you are exceedingly arrogant

Moments later, Gaoyang was still leisurely sitting on the sofa sipping tea, while not far from him on the ground, the little ghost and the soul collector were obediently kneeling there

The token soared into the air once more, striking fiercely towards the soul reaper...

This person is truly extraordinary

Thank you, esteemed immortal! Thank you, esteemed immortal!

"It's nothing!" Gao Yang comforted, then turned to the soul-snatching spirit and shouted loudly, "You audacious little brat, why do you not bow before me upon seeing me? Do you not fear being turned to ashes?"

If this little ghost truly wanted to harm Xie Tianyu, even if it did nothing, the negative energy surrounding it would continuously erode Xie Tianyu. A normal person in such an environment would likely perish within a few years. However, Xie Tianyu has survived until now, which clearly indicates that this little ghost has been making a concerted effort to control itself and refrain from harming Xie Tianyu

The Soul Reaper has long lost its previous arrogant demeanor, with scars all over its body and a swollen face. Although it is a spiritual entity and can recover quickly even when injured, the beating it received was from a celestial artifact of the Heavenly Court, making recovery a rather difficult task.

Upon hearing that Gao Yang was going to help him deal with the soul-reaping envoy of the underworld, the little ghost immediately bowed three heavy times before swiftly moving behind Gao Yang. In his view, even if Gao Yang was not a celestial being, he was still a powerful figure among mortals, someone whom even ordinary ghosts and deities would not wish to offend.

Gaoyang said: "To help others is to help them thoroughly, to send the Buddha is to send him to the West. This matter can be said to have arisen because of me, and I am determined to assist in this endeavor. Follow me!"

"Immortal, would you be willing to help me?"

Gao Yang became increasingly curious; the little ghost had not shown such panic when he was nearly struck to the point of losing his soul by the token just moments ago. It seems that this thing that has arrived must be extraordinarily powerful.

Thinking of this, he then said to the trembling little ghost, "Do not be afraid, I am here, they do not dare to do anything to you!"

The token contains information about the hierarchy and details of the Heavenly Court, but it lacks any information regarding the Underworld. Nevertheless, the officials of the Heavenly Court can be considered quite prestigious. The Soul Reaper, on the other hand, is merely a civil servant handling affairs of the Underworld, with limited magical power and abilities. With that token in hand, along with a broom, I should be able to deal with him, right

How dare you, mere mortal, think that just because you possess a little ability, you can act so arrogantly? I am a special envoy from the underworld, tasked with capturing the wandering souls and restless spirits that linger in the human realm. You should quickly step aside and not shield that little ghost, or else do not blame me for being impolite!

The little ghost trembled all over and said: "I can't escape, I can't escape..."

Who exactly has arrived

A chilling and extremely piercing sound suddenly emanated from outside the house, making it quite uncomfortable to hear

Gao Yang frowned slightly. Originally, it would have been the best solution for this little rascal to be taken to the underworld by the soul-reaping envoy, but seeing him so terrified, it was likely that life would not be easy for him there either. Forget it, he would do a good deed to the end and lend him a hand

When he clearly saw the appearance on the token, he was truly terrified to the point of losing his senses

Wow, this is truly infuriating!

Gao Yang took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then shouted loudly at the door: "Where did this little ghost come from? Do you not know that this immortal is here? Hurry up and leave!"
