Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560: So That’s What The Ox-Head and Horse-Face Look Like

At the same time, Jiang Xiaobai, who was leading the way, saw what was called the Ghost Gate and couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

It was simply an archway built in the middle of the valley with three eerie characters written on it — Ghost Gate!

Beneath this archway stood two figures, one with an ox head and one with a horse head!

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, “Holy shit, Ox-Head and Horse-Face?”

This really is the Underworld!

And these two dudes are still here, it seems that the Underworld hasn’t been affected by the incident from back then?

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. Maybe he could find a way to save Ao Yan from the Underworld and also learn the details of what happened back then!

After all, the Underworld is a world on the same level as Heaven,

and the strong here are by no means weaker than Heaven!

It’s just that there aren’t as many of them as there are in Heaven, right?

What’s more critical is that there is a super being in the Underworld — Empress Hou Tu!

She’s a super god!

Right away, Jiang Xiaobai got excited and couldn’t help but speed up his pace!

Seeing someone barging into the Netherworld, the two low-level flunkies of Ox-Head and Horse-Face were already somewhat panicked, and now that they saw the person leading the group speeding towards them, they were even more flustered!

Holy crap, it’s not someone coming to start a fight, is it?

They already felt the other’s aura at the late peak of Daluo Golden Immortal. The two of them were merely Daluo Golden Immortals, what if they couldn’t win the fight?

“We’re doomed, big brother, he’s charging at us!”

Ox-Head was exceedingly alarmed.

Horse-Face’s mouth twitched, his body trembling non-stop. After all, they hadn’t seen a living person here for hundreds of thousands of years; they had almost forgotten what they even looked like.

The attitude of the person approaching was genuinely unsettling.

“Wait, that’s not right, we are officials of the Underworld, even if we are smacked to death, it doesn’t matter, what are we scared of?”

Suddenly, Horse-Face snapped back to reality.

They were working for the Underworld. Although just the two of them, they were indeed officials, protected by the Underworld. Even if they were to be killed, they could be reformed, so they had no fear of death!

“True… Hehe, it’s been too quiet these years, almost forgot about that.”

Ox-Head scratched his own horns and then picked his large nostrils, feeling that this action could alleviate some of the nervousness in his heart.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai had already taken the lead and charged over, seeings his momentum, the two brothers tensed up again.

They couldn’t help but grip their weapons more tightly!

They were just short of shouting that phrase — “Don’t come any closer!”

“Are you two the legendary Ox-Head and Horse-Face brothers?”

Jiang Xiaobai was brimming with surprise and called out as he approached,

These were living, bona fide, mythological creatures!

He had finally seen them!

Although he had met the Giant Spirit God before, he felt that its appearance was too different from what he had envisioned, the contrast was too great, which was not exciting at all.

But now it was different, these were the real deal Ox-Head and Horse-Face!

“Ahem… You, cultivator, why are you being so rude?”

“This place is the Netherworld, not for living beings to come and go as they please. Leave quickly, do not step any further, otherwise, you’ll have nowhere to cry when you regret it!”

The lead Horse-Face tried to put on a tough facade as if he wasn’t to be messed with.

Although they were the people of the Underworld, before that great calamity that sealed the Underworld, there would often be powerful cultivators coming into the Netherworld to cause trouble.

These two gatekeepers were frequently beaten up, and on several occasions, they were hammered by beings who were also Daluo Golden Immortals.

Inherently, they harbor fear towards human cultivators!

“Haha, of course I know that, but the reason I’ve come to the Underworld this time is to seek help for a major issue. I hope you two brothers can grant me this convenience!”

Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai very astutely handed over two storage rings.

This act left the cow-headed and horse-faced completely dumbfounded.

What the heck?

Isn’t this kid being too polite? When have they ever been treated with such respect by a living human cultivator?

“Um… brother, should we take it or not?” the cow-headed stared intently at the two storage rings.

As a result, the horse-faced turned his head away while extending his arm to open his sleeve cuffs, but kept silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai laughed–sure enough, the rumors of cultivators bribing the cow-headed and horse-faced to enter the Underworld were true!

One could tell by how adept they were at this!

Jiang Xiaobai, who was not new to these dealings, casually threw the two storage rings over as if this was an everyday occurrence.

“Ahem… I quite like your attitude,” the horse-faced said, coughing into his fist, “but there are rules to follow, and living humans are not allowed to enter the Ghost Gate.”

The moment left Jiang Xiaobai stunned. What does this mean, taking the money but not doing the job? Are they really that principled?

Just then, Gu Ning and the others stepped forward, all looking at the two Underworld officers with shock.

Even though Gu Ning had been to the Netherworld several times, she had never seen anyone from the Underworld!

She also knew about Jiang Xiaobai’s attempt to communicate with them, so when she heard the horse-faced exhibiting an attitude of taking money without doing the work, she instinctively furrowed her brow.

However, nobody noticed that at the back of the group, Chen’s eyes were slightly squinting.

“These two fellows are still the same, looks like a proper handling is in order,” Chen said to himself.

At that moment, the horse-faced coughed again, “Principally, it’s not allowed, but after all, humans have their desires and troubles. Coming to the Underworld for solutions is only natural. Since it’s your first time and you’ve approached us with a good attitude…”

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes flickered with anticipation–were they about to let them in?

It was then that the horse-faced spoke again, “First, tell us why you’ve come to the Underworld. After all, living beings are not permitted here, and although your strength is decent, you have no chance against the forces of the Underworld!”

“If you explain it clearly, I might consider letting you in. If you’re elusive, then forget about it.”

After saying this, the horse-faced was sweating profusely.

Because he saw that Immortal Emperor among the crowd staring right at him!

Damn it, if he had known they were accompanied by an Immortal Emperor, why would he have taken the money at all?

He should have just let them beat him up and barge in–leave the rest to someone else!

They were just for show at the gate!

Why make things difficult for themselves as mere gatekeepers?

Now that the money has been taken, not doing the job would mean not only getting beaten up by them but also by the Underworld’s enforcers!

In the hierarchy of the Underworld, cow-headed and horse-faced do hold official positions, but they are the most worthless, not even amounting to the ninth rank. If it weren’t for the Underworld needing doorkeepers, they wouldn’t have any official status at all!

At this point, the horse-faced just hoped that this young man’s request wasn’t too difficult to fulfill.

“It’s like this, two brothers. My wife is seriously injured and only her remnant soul remains. I’ve heard that the Underworld controls the cycle of life and death for all realms, so I thought to try and see if there’s a way to awaken my wife!”

“I beg you two brothers to grant me this convenience!”

Upon hearing this, cow-headed and horse-faced were struck dumb on the spot!

Could it be such a difficult problem?!

This is utterly disastrous!
