Tong Xin laughed heartily, and the falling raindrops suddenly condensed into a water column. The water column swirled and swept over, about to completely engulf and melt away the Black and White Impermanence.

At the critical moment, a strange bell sound suddenly came from ahead.

The tinkling of bells sounded particularly jarring in the room, the jingling echoing like ripples on water. Those sound waves carried a terrifying exorcising energy; wherever the sound reached, all resentment and evil energy was dispelled.

The old woman from Hell, Meng Po, rang her bell as she emerged from the Gates of the Underworld. Her wrinkled face now held a grave expression: "I never imagined such a formidable demon would emerge from the mortal realm. Truly terrifying!"

While shaking the bell in her hand, Meng Po also took out a water gun.

This is her specially concocted Meng Po soup. She held the water gun and sprayed it at Tong Xin with a hissing sound.

A drop of water shot towards him, and Tong Xin's expression changed drastically. He jumped back abruptly. But he was still a little too slow, and a drop of water landed on his arm. The water seemed to possess some kind of purifying power, as if it wanted to completely melt his arm.

Tong Xin let out a piercing scream and shouted to Zhang Hao beside her, "Run! They have reinforcements!"

Zhang Hao exchanged a very discreet glance with Meng Po, then pretended to hurriedly grab his companion and flee.

Meng Po pretended to chase for a while and then stopped, turning back to find her own people.

The Black and White Impermanence were injured in the fight and are currently treating their wounds inside the house.

When Meng Po returned and saw the two of them in this state, she clicked her tongue and shook her head: "You two are really too incompetent! You tried to deal with an evil spirit, and you ended up like this?"

The Black and White Impermanence are top-tier experts in the underworld, yet even such figures suffered such severe injuries while capturing a single evil spirit. This is truly a slap in the face.

If word gets out, neither Black nor White Impermanence will need to remain in the ghost messenger circle.

Black and White Impermanence snorted.

Bai Wuchang said irritably, "You saw it yourself, that guy isn't an ordinary evil spirit, nor is he a common Yin-Yang Master. To be precise, he's a messenger of the gods, a level higher than us. It's already quite an achievement that we've been able to fight him for so long, so don't ask for too much, okay?"

Meng Po smiled and said that although it was true, it did not stop her from mocking her two colleagues for making a fool of themselves.

Li Dongyun was still hiding behind the refrigerator, trembling as she watched the ghost messengers chat.

Meng Po noticed the person behind the refrigerator, raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Young man, I know you can see us, come out."

The young man hurriedly crawled out from behind the refrigerator: "Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I probably would have died long ago."

Meng Po waved her hand; she had no desire to take credit for it.

The one who truly saved this young man was that big shot, Zhang Hao.

She rushed over to help after receiving the news.

Fortunately, there weren't many ghosts coming out of the underworld today, so the amount of Meng Po soup that needed to be brewed wasn't large. After quickly finishing her own work, she rushed over to help.

Looking at the dilapidated house that was no longer habitable, Li Dongyun experienced for the first time what it meant to be on the verge of tears.

Although he'd escaped death, his life was definitely not going to be easy. The cost of renovating the house alone would be a huge burden. Black Impermanence, having tended to his wounds, noticed his bitter expression, raised an eyebrow, and asked curiously, "You're lucky to have escaped death. Are you still complaining here?"

Li Dongyun quickly shook her head, indicating that she absolutely had no intention of blaming fate or others.

"Actually, the house renovation cost a lot of money. I'm just worried about how to find a job to earn money next."

Just then, a familiar figure emerged from the still-open gate to the underworld.

Li Zixuan walked forward with a smile and carefully looked Li Dongyun over a few times.

Li Dongyun was always sensitive to other people's gazes, but seeing that he had come out from that door and had greeted the three ghost messengers, she knew he was probably not a bad person. So she tried to keep her emotions in check and didn't hide behind the refrigerator directly.

"You said you're going to work to earn money for the renovations, have you considered finding a high-paying job?" Li Zixuan asked with interest.

Li Dongyun's eyes lit up immediately. Are all the staff in the underworld this considerate now?

What he needs most right now is a high-paying job!

"Of course, I think you can definitely do it. You have a talent for catching ghosts, and being a Taoist priest nowadays is quite lucrative. I am Li Zixuan, the admissions officer for the first Old School Taoist Priest Training Program, which specializes in recruiting and training people with ghost-catching talents in society. Welcome to join us, Mr. Li."

Li Dongyun stared wide-eyed at the hand extended in front of her.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Zixuan added with a smile, "High-paying job opportunities are rare; you might not get another one if you miss this chance."

Li Dongyun had initially hesitated because of the high danger of the job, but upon hearing this, she instantly changed her mind and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with him.

So what if it's dangerous? As long as I can make money, it's all worth it!

Grasping the other person's hand firmly, Li Dongyun said warmly, "Then I look forward to Mr. Li's guidance in the future!"

Li Zixuan smiled, pointed to the Gate of the Underworld and said to him, "There's no time to lose. Come with me to the training class now. Your identity has been exposed. If you don't leave, many more people like the one just now will come to kill you."

Li Dongyun, who had originally planned to buy some daily necessities before leaving, immediately stopped hesitating, walked to his side, and said decisively, "Then let's go now."

Meng Po and the Black and White Impermanence waved goodbye to them. Meng Po raised an eyebrow and said, "I heard that they are currently conducting a training program for Celestial Masters to prevent them from being hunted down. The instructor is a young man named Zhang Hao, and Yama (the King of Hell) occasionally gives guest lectures. This group of Celestial Masters seems to have a very promising future."

Black and White Impermanence nodded, with Black Impermanence stating bluntly, "Of course, their potential is limitless. They directly cooperate with relevant departments in the human world. Upon graduation, they'll be directly assigned to a mysterious national department, enjoying a government job with a secure future."

Upon hearing this, Meng Po chuckled: "Why do you sound so envious? Don't you have a secure job yourself? You're a ghost official in the underworld! You could do that job for a thousand or ten thousand years!"

"You don't understand. What I envy is that he can still go to class at such a critical moment. Unlike us, we've all become firefighters, rushing around rescuing people. We've been working overtime every day lately, we're exhausted, and the boss hasn't even thought about giving us a raise..."

Meng Po chuckled: "I'll tell King Yama about your suggestion later. Maybe he'll really give you a raise."

They chatted, and the atmosphere was fairly relaxed and pleasant. (End of Chapter)
