You are not allowed to do underworld operations in the world of the living!

Queen Mother Xi pressed the photo against Jiang Lu's chest and asked with wide eyes, "What else do you have to say?"

Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's because I'm young and frivolous."

Just then, a noise was heard, and then another group of people rushed into the room.

Looking at the confused girl, the foreman was embarrassed and explained helplessly: "These customers suspected that we were committing consumption fraud and insisted on coming up. I couldn't stop them."

As soon as she finished speaking, the leader shouted:

"I want to see what you think of my old leader and what you are doing with his legacy!"

But just as he finished shouting, he saw a familiar face in the crowd, and then he stood there in a daze.

The muscular man Samael was stunned when he saw the contract. He thought that he was scared because he saw there were so many people on the other side, so he elbowed him and encouraged him: "Don't be afraid. What if there are more people? If we really fight, can we make you suffer?"

"That's right!" Asmodeus also added fuel to the fire: "Come on, don't embarrass us!"

"No...no."

"Not what?"

He wiped his eyes, confirmed that he had not seen it wrong, and then said blankly:

"My lord..."

When he uttered the last syllable, his eyes were already filled with tears.

"Long time no see." Jiang Lu nodded.

After getting the response, Qie finally had no more doubts. He rushed to Jiang Lu and said excitedly: "I never thought that we would meet here!!"

Samael and Asmodeus looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Suddenly, a light cough was heard.

Samael and Asmodeus subconsciously retreated to the sides to make way.

The deep-minded man from before, who was also an old acquaintance of Jiang Lu, stood up.

He put his hand to his mouth, coughed twice, and then put it down.

After Jiang Lu took a look at him and recognized who he was, he turned around and found that the contract was gone.

When he looked at the man again, he found that Contract was already standing next to him.

"This is my old boss." He introduced him to them, "But now I don't have much relationship with him. We only have some work-related friendship. Now we are just ordinary friends."

Jiang Lu tilted his head: "Awesome."

"So the lighting of the sky lantern has something to do with you."

Jiang Lu's old acquaintance, Lucifer from Hell, glanced at the people behind Jiang Lu and smiled:

"Looks like you've been doing well lately."

"Not bad." Jiang Lu nodded perfunctorily.

He was caught off guard by the prospect of meeting Lucifer here, and he immediately became alert.

He didn't know why the other party appeared here, whether it meant that the underworld had been infiltrated, or whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, or whether he represented some intention of hell.

In addition, Lucifer himself is a character that is no less powerful than Yuanshi Tianzun, which makes Jiang Lu dare not take it lightly.

Although the people around Jiang Lu had never seen Lucifer, they realized something instantly when they saw Jiang Lu's serious enemy look, and quickly adjusted their positions, ready to respond at any time.

Seeing that Jiang Lu and the people around him were suddenly on alert, Samael and Asmodeus, who were confused, also took a posture to meet the enemy, as if they were just waiting for Lucifer's order to launch the most fierce and fierce attack.

But this made the contract, who was caught in the middle, a little at a loss. He didn't know how the situation turned out like this, and all he could do was look at Jiang Lu, then at Lu Xifang, and cast a look of help to them respectively.

For a moment, the situation on the field was tense.

The leader of Jiuyou Pavilion initially thought that Jiang Lu knew them, so he didn't take it seriously. But when he realized that the situation was not good, he subconsciously stood on the side of Jiang Lu and planned to follow Jiang Lu's instructions in everything.

Seeing Jiang Lu so serious and the people around him looking at him as if he were a ferocious beast or a poisonous insect, Lucifer had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly and explained, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not your enemy, and I don't have any conspiracy here. To be honest, I didn't expect to meet you here. Relax a little, okay? We are friends who fought side by side not long ago, right?"

"..." After a brief hesitation, Jiang Lu finally let his companions relax.

He and Lucifer did not have any actual conflict of interest. Just as the other party said, he had received his help in the past and had chatted with him at the same table. It seemed that there was really no reason for them to be enemies.

Seeing that Jiang Lu had finally let down his guard, Lucifer joked to ease the atmosphere, "You seem to be in good shape. You have returned to the divine realm and you have a beautiful woman by your side. It can be said that you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship."

"Yeah." Jiang Lu responded indifferently, then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course we are here for a meeting on how to distribute the interests of the underworld. We were invited as guests by the Emperor of the Underworld, but we are coming through the formal channels." Lucifer said calmly, as if the survival of the underworld was not important to him at all.

The content of the meeting that he mentioned lightly shocked everyone except Jiang Lu.

They began to speculate about Lucifer's identity.

Who on earth could have such a high status to be able to participate in such a meeting, and how could he make such an important event that determines the fate of the underworld sound as easy as buying vegetables on the roadside?

Jiang Lu was also a little surprised that Lucifer actually told him the truth about this without any concealment. He didn't know whether he really didn't care or really trusted him that much.

Jiang Lu tends to the former.

So he tried to probe: "Is that so? The Yin Emperor invited you to a meeting, and you met me, the former Lord of the Underworld, here. What do you think?"

After these words were spoken, Jiang Lu's companions finally reacted and their hearts were lifted.

Anyone who can attend such a meeting and make Jiang Lu so alert can never be an ordinary person. For someone of such a high status, strength is just a threshold, the lowest requirement.

Just like in Kunlun Mountain, when it comes to building the foundation, some people are inner disciples and some are outer disciples. In addition to the most basic strength requirement, aptitude, character, wisdom, strategy, and interpersonal skills are all indispensable.

If the other party really wanted to expose Jiang Lu, I'm afraid the people present would not be able to stop them, and the plan would fail.

They stared at Lucifer, wanting to see what his attitude was. If he showed the slightest hostility, they would plan to seal all the exits of the Nine Nether Tower first. By then, perhaps things would not end so well.

But Lucifer's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, including Jiang Lu's.

He just smiled and answered the question irrelevantly:

"Do you...want to come to the meeting together?"

"Me?" Jiang Lu was very surprised. After a brief pause, he asked back with a smile, "Is it appropriate for me to attend this kind of meeting?"

"What's inappropriate about that? If you want, I can let you participate as a messenger of hell."

Lucifer patted Contract's shoulder:

"You must be willing to give up your place to your old leader, right?"

"I..."

Seeing Lucifer smiling but somehow always giving people a sense of danger, Contract was keenly aware that this was a warning from the other party.

You can have some personal relationship with your old leader, but in some situations, it is better to keep a distance.

Giving up a place means agreeing to draw a line.

Thinking of this, the contract had no choice but to express: "I do."

"Look, it's solved." Lucifer clapped his hands: "This way, you can follow me in."

"That's great!" Jiang Lu nodded with a smile, then changed the subject: "So...what's the price?"

"The price. Let me think about it."

Lucifer pondered for a moment, then suddenly snapped his fingers and pointed at Samael and Asmodeus:

"My two friends want to enjoy the best service in Jiuyou Pavilion. Now looking at the situation, the contract does not arrange the best for us, so can you help?"

Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, then accepted the favor: "No problem, I guarantee you'll get top-notch stuff."

Chapter 429 Secret Talk

After the relationship eased, Jiang Lu acted as a middleman and introduced people around Lucifer.

Lucifer's face showed a strange expression: "Although I don't know much about the Three Pure Ones, I have heard of these people. I didn't expect that after such a short time, you already have so many powerful friends around you."

"It's okay." Jiang Lu laughed.

"What about Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Jiang Lu's expression changed slightly: "This..."

Seeing this, Lucifer stopped asking questions and said, "Just asking."

"Ah."

When Queen Mother of the West and others learned that this man was the leader of hell, they were also surprised.

Not only was she surprised at his identity, she was even more surprised that Jiang Lu actually had a relationship with such a person.

Lucifer also introduced the people around him, but like Jiang Lu, he only introduced their names.

For Jiang Lu, he might have heard of the famous female angels and female demons, but he knew nothing about the male demon, so he simply nodded and pretended to know him.

Although the two sides seemed to have a harmonious relationship, Jiang Lu was not at peace.

Because he didn't expect Lucifer to make such a condition.

He thought that the other party would take advantage of his desire to take back the underworld and offer some conditions that would be difficult for him to accept, such as selling his soul. This was in line with the devil's usual style.

But the result was that he was just asked to help pay the bill, and this was even more so when he knew that he had an almost unlimited credit limit in Jiuyou Pavilion, which was equivalent to no cost at all.

It was obvious that Lucifer was showing kindness to him, but why was he doing this?

Lucifer does not have a clear position. If there is a common enemy, the only one who can be considered is God Jehovah, who cannot pose any threat to Jiang Lu in the short term.

So Lucifer saw the changes in me now and thought that I was a worthy ally, so he wanted me to help him deal with God?

But God is not Jiang Lu's primary opponent in the short term, and the two have not yet reached the point of completely tearing each other apart and becoming incompatible, so he always feels that this idea is somewhat untenable. I believe Lucifer also knows this, and there is no need for him to provoke another big enemy for nothing.

So this made Jiang Lu very confused.

But it doesn't matter. When dealing with someone like Lucifer, don't expect to see his true intentions at once. In short, after a period of contact, everything will have an answer.

At least the help he provided now was beneficial to himself. If he followed him to attend the Yin Emperor's meeting as a messenger of hell, he could reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, enter the interior smoothly, and even learn more about the current situation of the heavens before taking action.

The only problem may be that there is only one spot available, which means that only Jiang Lu can enter, and the others can only wait outside.

"So from what you mean, the Yin Emperor is not in the underworld battlefield now, but in the underworld, right?"

Facing Jiang Lu's question, Lucifer did not answer, but said: "This matter is a long story, why don't we talk about it slowly in private, you can arrange them first."

"That's fine." Jiang Lu nodded, then turned to ask the head of Jiuyou Pavilion: "Can I arrange a set meal for each of them and charge the cost to my card?"
