My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Without a word, Tong Xin rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on the mummified corpse, while also telling it, "You stay here and watch out for any sneak attacks. I want to take revenge myself!"

Tong Xin's entire body seemed to transform into black flames, launching a relentless, all-around attack on the dried corpse.

Sun Wenwu was able to hold out at first, but later the poisonous mist he spewed was gradually evaporated by the flames, and was no longer enough to protect himself.

The shriveled corpse began to crack and crumble under the repeated attacks.

Zhang Hao observed from the side, while also keeping an eye on the movements of Sun Wenwu's corpse.

"He looks like he wants to rip out your heart. The figure in front of you is an illusion; he's already teleported behind you," Zhang Hao warned.

Tong Xin was startled, never expecting the other party to have this trick up their sleeve.

If his companion hadn't reminded him, he probably would have already had his heart ripped out from behind and gone straight to the underworld.

However, after being reminded, Tong Xin reacted extremely quickly, turning around instantly and grabbing the other person's hand. Countless black flames immediately spread from Tong Xin's palm!

The black flames spread from their clasped hands to the mummified bodies of the other.

Sun Wenwu's mummified body was engulfed in flames, emitting a mournful wail.

The horrifying, piercing screams echoed through the room. Zhang Hao picked at his ears, watching the mummified corpse burn fiercely in the black flames. The flames eventually coalesced into a ball, transforming into the shape of a child's heart.

Tong Xin's arm, which hadn't fully healed before, has now completely recovered.

He shook his newly grown arm, a mocking smile playing on his left lip, and then walked step by step to the mahogany coffin, kicking it with a grim face.

The coffin was instantly shattered into dust by that kick!
With a bang, it exploded, and countless dust particles were scattered as if by a hurricane, landing in every corner of the room.

"Finally, that trouble is resolved. It seems that bringing you along was a wise choice." Tong Xin gave Zhang Hao an approving look.

After calming down, Zhang Hao said, "Now that you've recovered, shouldn't we end today's hunt?"

He was now extremely agitated. These damned new-style Taoist masters, each of them possessed such bizarre, terrifying, and difficult-to-deal-with evil arts. He had to report this situation to the underworld as soon as possible.

All he wanted to do was get away from this guy as soon as possible; the stench of death emanating from him was simply unbearable.

"Oh, we can stop now." Seeing the other person covering their nose with a disgusted look, Tong Xin suddenly realized and slapped her forehead to explain, "Don't mind the smell on me, it's just a side effect of swallowing that dried corpse. Don't worry, I'll get rid of the smell, and our next collaboration will be just as pleasant as today."

After saying that, he waved to Zhang Hao and turned to leave.

Zhang Hao confirmed that the other party had gone far away and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

His disappearance was completely unexpected, eliminating any possibility of being tracked.

When he reappeared, Zhang Hao had already arrived at the Yama's Palace in the underworld.

The King of Hell sat behind his desk, flipping through several documents. Normally, he would remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, but now his face was etched with annoyance.

Several ghostly messengers stood trembling nearby, clearly expecting a scolding. "What kind of work are you doing? You even managed to lose the official seal! Something similar has happened before! Although that was just a counterfeit, don't you understand the serious consequences? This time, you've gone and lost the real seal too? Is this how you do your job? Do you even know how serious the consequences of losing the real seal are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, widened involuntarily.

The real official seal has been lost?
This is no joke.

Previously, the appearance of pirated copies of the "Path of Fortune and Misfortune, Life and Death" and the "Judge's Pen" in the mortal realm had already caused considerable turmoil. If the official seal were also lost, and fell into the hands of those unscrupulous new-style celestial masters, it would surely trigger even more terrifying consequences!

The ghost messengers trembled with fear, looking as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

One of the ghost messengers, filled with remorse, explained, "When we were patrolling and maintaining order in the human world, everything in the area we were responsible for seemed normal, and we really didn't notice anything wrong..."

Another ghost messenger also explained helplessly, "We really didn't notice when the official seal was missing. We only discovered it when we got back to the underworld and needed to write a report and affix the seal... We really don't know how it was stolen. That guy's methods of stealing are much more sophisticated than we thought, there's nothing we can do."

King Yama slammed his hand on the table in anger, his eyes practically spitting fire: "I don't know! I don't know! What else can you do besides say you don't know? A bunch of useless trash! Go find it now! You must get the official seal back to me within three days!"

King Yama scratched his head in frustration and quickly summoned the heads of various offices, ordering them to immediately update all the first-generation official seals they had to the second-generation seals.

The update took time, and only after finishing this mess did Yan Wang breathe a sigh of relief. He sat back in his office chair and turned to Zhang Hao beside him: "Alright, you finally have some free time. What did you want to see me about?"

Zhang Hao walked up to him, pulled out a chair, and sat down. His tone wasn't very pleasant: "I really do have something to discuss with you. I've found that those new-style Celestial Masters are all incredibly difficult to deal with. If we let them continue to grow stronger, they'll be even harder to handle in the future..."

He recounted in detail all the troubles he had encountered with the new-style Taoist masters during this period, as well as the commonalities behind these troubles.

After hearing his analysis, Yama's expression grew even more solemn.

"This is indeed a big problem. I suspect that the theft of the official seal was also caused by a master thief among the new school of celestial masters. Could you please go back to the mortal realm as soon as possible and find the thief? We really can't afford any trouble with the official seal at this critical juncture..."

The King of Hell explained the pros and cons with a headache.

The previous piracy of the Judge's Pen and the Record of Fortune, Misfortune, Life and Death has already severely damaged the credibility of the Underworld.

It was only through reforms and improved efficiency that public trust was gradually restored.

But things haven't calmed down for long. If a similar crisis breaks out again, he really won't be able to handle it.

Zhang Hao also understood that if the underworld were to descend into chaos, the situation would only spiral further out of control.

"I will try my best to be careful in the human world. After all, now I can also sneak into those new-style celestial masters without anyone noticing."

Zhang Hao wasn't just saying that casually.

After he touched that strange thing at the bottom of the sea last time, he was covered with a strange aura.

That aura continued to erode his body. To prevent being completely overwhelmed by this power and from going mad, he deliberately separated his soul from his body, sealing his physical form away. He is now acting as a soul. (End of Chapter)
