Chapter 430: Chapter 287: Welcome the Grand Sect Master! [Second Update!]

Little White Ape, seeing that this little ghost had been subdued, dared to approach a bit closer.

It clearly observed, in the tone of Rapid Ghost, a sense of envy and jealousy mixed with some annoyance and disagreement.

After all, in the rapid report bureau, he had guarded the gate for who knows how many years, diligently and devotedly, content in solitude, yet he was still considered an inconsequential little ghost.

That dead old man, who appeared out of nowhere, dressed in tatters like a beggar, assumed a high position upon his arrival.

Thinking so, Little White Ape couldn’t help but think of himself.

Currently at Linjiang Station, I’m still a minor flag bearer.

If I were to guard for another ten or eight years, I’d still be at the same level.

What if one day a crippled old beggar arrives, who has made no contributions, and he becomes the Commander of the Observatory?

"It’s really infuriating."

Little White Ape thought to himself.

"A personal audience with Judge Wu?"

Lin Yan pondered and said, "In this boundary, is Judge Wu the only active entity apart from that person?"

"Yes, indeed."

Rapid Ghost nodded his head and said discontentedly, "This guy also came not long ago, and with a shake, he became Judge Wu... clearly, I was the first to arrive."

Its frustration made its green cheeks puff up as it said, "Look how respectful he is to that dead old man, probably because that dead old man’s official tier is higher than Judge Wu’s!"

"I’m clearly the oldest here, it’s utterly unjust!"

"Lord Soul-binding Envoy, you are from the Netherworld, you should really sort this out later."

"Small ones like me, who are solid workers, get nowhere."

"It’s always these who have connections who haven’t been here long, but occupy high positions, probably higher than my boss at the rapid report bureau."

As Rapid Ghost spoke to this point, he couldn’t hold back his grief and nearly cried out loud, "It’s just totally outrageous."

Lin Lei said nothing, just showed a contemplative expression, then looked towards his younger brother Lin Yan, and asked, ’What do you think?’

"That shabby old dead head is probably Duke Murky Spirit, He’s just a remnant soul, which is why he appears broken to ghosts," Lin Yan reflected and said: "Lord Qingling once held the position of Lord of the Blessed Land, comparable to a Divine Spirit. Despite being just a remnant soul, He should not be underestimated; arriving here and acquiring a high position is not surprising."

What’s more, according to records analyzed from Qifeng Prefecture City, over three thousand years ago, Lord Qingling once hosted a self-proclaimed visitor from the Netherworld.

Rapid Ghost thought that the dead old man had pulled strings to get in the back door, and thinking about it carefully, he might not be wrong.

About Duke Murky Spirit, it had already been confirmed that he was in the Forbidden Land, so Lin Yan was not surprised at all.

However, what surprised him was the man who, not long before, had arrived in the Forbidden Land and acquired the position of Judge Wu!

Although Rapid Ghost did not have a specific sense of time, he could roughly guess that this Judge Wu had entered the Forbidden Land at least sixty years ago.

Then came East Mountain Prefecture, which sent more than twenty groups of people in succession to explore the Forbidden Land, nearly all of whom were annihilated.

In the perception of Rapid Ghost, these were events that happened "not long ago."

"What do we do next?"

Lin Lei suddenly asked.

Rapid Ghost, for so many years, had only guarded the gate of the rapid report bureau and didn’t know much.

The clues that could be obtained from this little ghost were almost exhausted.

Although they were far less than anticipated, at least they now had a basic understanding of the Forbidden Land, instead of being completely clueless.

"The master of the rapid report bureau... died a long time ago..."

Lin Yan looked beyond the gate and asked, "So now, what is in there?"

Rapid Ghost thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said, "Why don’t I take you guys inside to have a look?"

Little White Ape couldn’t help but say, "Aren’t you supposed to guard the gate? Earlier, it seemed like you wouldn’t let anyone in, now you agree so readily?"

Rapid Ghost mumbled, "Lord Soul-binding Envoy is a Divine Envoy from the Netherworld; he can inspect wherever he wishes... since you are all together, then you can all have a look!"

He was thinking to himself that earlier, the Soul-binding Envoy didn’t know he was under the rapid report bureau’s command yet had been willing to promote him.

If he showed some initiative now, who knows, he might just report directly back to the Netherworld and be promoted to the head of the rapid report bureau.

"Let’s go."

Lin Yan nodded.

The wariness and hostility in the little ghost’s eyes also had diminished quite a bit.

After all, this little ghost was essentially an eight-year-old child who had squatted here for a long stretch of time without interacting with the outside world; his mind had not yet matured and was still child-like.

Therefore, Lin Yan could guess approximately what was going through this little ghost’s mind.

Originally just a subordinate ghost under the command of the rapid report bureau, now subdued by the Netherworld’s Soul-binding Envoy, he was, in a way, promoted.

Just like a minor flag bearer from the Outer South Bureau outside High Willow City who suddenly got noticed by an Inspection Envoy from Qifeng Prefecture City and was transferred to the main office of the Observatory in the Prefecture City.

Although still a minor flag bearer, his status was quite different now!

For example, if he were to return to High Willow City one day, it would be considered a triumphant homecoming, even the General Flag Envoy would regard him highly!

This was actually a kind of indirect promotion!

But this little ghost clearly wanted to use this opportunity to gain favor and climb even higher!

"Lord Divine Envoy, please wait a moment, I will push the door open a bit."

Rapid Ghost hurried forward and pressed against the large door of the rapid report bureau.

After a long while, the door remained silent.

He slowly turned his head back, a stiff smile on his bluish face, and said awkwardly, "I can’t push it open..."

He had only ever guarded the door, and as a Yin Soul ghost, moving like the wind, he could slip through the cracks to get inside.
