    In short, heaven and the White Army have been successful and unsuccessful.

    Although they successfully defeated the emperor and disrupted the layout of the underworld, they did not expect that in the critical moment at the end, the emperor had hidden the jade seal away.

    Without the Taihang Seal, even if heaven controls the underworld, it is still unable to fully exert the full power of the underworld.

    It is also impossible to allow the officials of the underworld to walk in broad daylight.

    At this moment, the rules of heaven and earth are completely broken. Because of this, countless vengeful ghosts and evil spirits have appeared in the human world. All of this has to be attributed to the responsibility of Tianting and the White Army!

    My prince will avenge the emperor's grievances and hatred soon.

    As Bai Lu said his last words, his emotions clearly became more angry.

    It gives the impression of biting his teeth with anger.

    "That's why you're now a violation of life, no wonder the strength of this thing against you is so strong!"

    Regrettably, Zhou Qi failed to empathize with Bai Lu. After hearing Bai Lu's story, Zhou Qi seemed more interested in the yellow talismans.

    After all, Zhou Qi is very clear about the whereabouts of the Taihang Seal.

    Bai Lu, that kid, is not honest!

    "Indeed, without the recognition of the Taihang Seal, whether it be myself, the prince, or Bai Bing, in the eyes of the Tao of heaven, we are all entities that should not roam the world."

    "Therefore, the power of divine punishment becomes particularly terrifying for us!"

    As Bai Lu mentioned the power of divine punishment, his golden eyes trembled slightly, and he immediately recalled the scene of last night when Bai Bing turned into ashes and dust.

    His curiosity about Zhou Qi grew even more intense in his heart.

    This woman is clearly an ordinary human, but how did she become an evil creature and capable of driving the power of divine punishment?

    Does this mean that it is the daughter of heaven?

    "All right, then, the last question, about the things outside?"

    Zhou Qi is still more concerned about his own life. Bawdy talk and gossip can be listened to, but it's best to forget about it.

    "Don't worry, there are only some ordinary ghosts outside. Generally, as long as you don't disturb them, they won't bother you."

    "Moreover, neither the heavenly court nor the underworld will stand by and do nothing about these rebellious ghosts."

    "As you mentioned just now, that huge guy is one of the most ordinary ghosts in the underworld. He is specifically used to deal with these ghosts."

    After Bai Lu finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Qi with anticipation.

    He had pretty much told Zhou Qi everything he knew.

    So it's time for Zhou Qi to reciprocate!

    "Okay!"

    With a tear, the talisman on Bai Lu's chest was casually peeled off by Zhou Qi.

    Blackness, or rather, the yin energy, spread accordingly.

    Ignoring the excited Bai Lu, with a sigh of regret over not being able to obtain life, Zhou Qi grabbed the yellow talisman and left Room 401.

    Since the ghosts outside wouldn't harm him, and he also possessed the most powerful divine punishment power,

    Zhou Qi says, at this moment, he is incredibly strong!

    Unfortunately, reality soon slapped Zhou Qi hard.

    As the midnight bell chimed at 12.

    Zhou Qi's arm.

    The countdown reduced again.

    [Remaining Life: 9 Days!]

    "Hopefully tomorrow I can get some clues, otherwise..."

    With the best expectation for tomorrow, Zhou Qi lay in the small bed of his rented room and fell asleep.

    The next day.

    Zhou Qi eventually did not quit his job.

    After a morning of weighing the pros and cons, thinking about Bai Lu and Min Yue, Zhou Qi decided to stay.

    Who knows what kind of trouble those two deities will cause.

    As usual, it was a day of being a caretaker.

    Feeding Bai Lu's meals, administering medication, changing sheets, and taking him out for a walk...

    Then, he spent some time playing with Min Yue.

    And so, a day passed by in a hurry.

    In the evening, just when Zhou Qi was about to tidy up and continue working overtime,

    Ding.

    The ringtone of Zhou Qi's mobile phone started to ring.

    After taking a quick glance at the caller ID on the screen, Zhou Qi quickly answered the phone.

    There was nothing unusual about it; the caller was Zhou Qi's closest family member in this life, Zhou Qi's grandmother, Liu Yuling.

    She was the greatest benefactor who had nurtured Zhou Qi to attend college after his parents' death.

    "Hello, grandma, what's up?"

    Zhou Qi spoke in the most affectionate tone, which was something even patients couldn't experience.

    "Hello, Qier, do you have time now? If you do, could you come back as soon as possible?"

    On the phone, the grandmother's tone was exceptionally tense, as if something terrifying had happened.

    It should be known that the grandmother never disturbed Zhou Qi under normal circumstances. Even if the elderly missed Zhou Qi, she would never deliberately disturb him for his development.

    It was unprecedented to be so anxious like this, as if today's situation!

    "Okay, grandma. I'll book tickets for tonight right away. Whatever has happened, please wait for me!"

    Zhou Qi naturally agreed without any hesitation.

    The county where Zhou Qi's grandmother lives is not far from or close to the city of Zhongyuan.

    It would take about four hours by taxi.

    If taking the train or high-speed railway, it would take about an hour and a half.

    After buying the ticket for the train an hour later, Zhou Qi then called to inform the head nurse of his need to take a leave of absence.

    After all, in Zhou Qi's eyes, his grandmother's affairs are more important than anything else.

    Even if he lost his job, it was the most important thing to his grandmother!

    The head nurse was reasonable and quickly agreed to Zhou Qi's request for leave.

    After obtaining the approval, Zhou Qi quickly tidied up his things.

    In fact, there was nothing much to pack.

    These days, as long as there's money in your phone, the world is big and you can get what you need anywhere!

    However, in order to be safe, Zhou Qi still took a few commonly used emergency medicines from the pharmacy of the hospital.

    After all, one should be prepared for the worst and hope for the best!

    "Hold on!"

    Just as Zhou Qi's footsteps were about to leave the mental hospital's gate, a sudden flash of insight occurred in Zhou Qi's mind.

    Now the world has changed greatly, who knows what has happened at his grandmother's place.

    From a safe perspective, it would be best to take some fairy-like items from Bai Lu and Min Yue. Who knows, they might come in handy!

    Thinking of this, Zhou Qi called his cab while telling him to wait for a moment, and then quickly turned and ran towards the ward.

    At this moment.

    Zhou Qi finally saw the mental hospital in the night.

    What I saw was the clear and bright building during the day, but at some point, it was enveloped by a thin layer of white mist.

    The white mist was as if a living creature, slowly devouring the entire mental hospital.

    And what was most shocking to Zhou Qi was.

    As the white mist layer by layer spread, it seemed as if countless living beings were howling and moaning within.

    A well-known mental hospital gave Zhou Qi an illusion of a zoo full of animals!
