I guard the world with the Lord of the Underworld

The flame in Wen Ci's palm slowly weakened, then suddenly went out, and several talismans on the table also burned up.

Xu Wenrui slowly opened his eyes, a look of exhaustion on his face.

Even if Wen Ci opens the communication channel to the underworld for him, he will still consume his own spiritual power and energy to communicate with the underworld.

"Brother, the underworld said it would send someone over." Xu Wenrui said, "Someone will come over at midnight to help us open the passage."

"Very good, you inform them immediately and get ready to go in tonight." Xu Wenbo ordered.

Xu Wenrui nodded, left the tent, and went to inform the Celestial Masters in other tents.

Seeing that his mission was completed, Wen Ci turned around and walked out.

"Wait a minute." Xu Wenbo suddenly stopped Wen Ci.

Wen Ci paused and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is something wrong?"

"How have you considered what I said last time?" Xu Wenbo asked.

He thought that Wen Ci would come to help this time. He must have thought about it. He would take over as the head of the Xu family and gain both fame and fortune.

Wen Ci looked at Xu Wenbo who was full of confidence and asked, "Do I have anything to do with you?" As he said that, he looked Xu Wenbo up and down and said disdainfully, "Don't flatter yourself, you and I have never had anything to do with each other."

"You..." Xu Wenbo was angry. He didn't expect Wen Ci to dare to talk to him like this, "Do you know who I am?"

"I know." Wen Ci spread his hands, "Isn't he the head of the Xu family? Well, he is still a head of the family who has done nothing. He even relies on our investigation office to communicate with the underworld. How sad."

Xu Wenbo's eyes were filled with anger and he said in a deep voice, "Don't regret your choice."

"Don't worry, I never regret it." Wen Ci sneered, "I have no regrets about you."

"After all..." Wen Ci smiled happily, "I have nothing to do with you at all."

Xu Wenbo breathed heavily in his chest and almost died of anger.

His whole body was trembling, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You treacherous son..."

"Isn't your traitor already dead?" Wen Ci looked at him amusedly, "He actually colluded with the underworld. He is indeed the traitor. He really has the courage and accomplishments."

"Get out!" Xu Wenbo growled. He didn't want to see the gloating on Wen Ci's face now.

Wen Ci smiled, turned around and went out. Before he had gone far, the Heavenly Master coming out of the tent saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, "Captain Wen, are you leaving now?"

"Well, there's something else going on in the office," Wen Ci replied.

"This..." The Heavenly Master showed a troubled expression and begged, "Please wait a moment."

Wen Ci looked at this heavenly master, thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

Then Tianshi hurriedly ran into Xu Wenbo's tent, "Master Xu, how can you let the people in the tent leave immediately?"

"Didn't you hear that they said they had to go back for something?" Xu Wenbo said in a deep voice.

Wen Ci didn't give him face so much, so why should he ask someone to stay?

"No, people from the underworld will come over soon. The underworld only gives face to the investigation office." Tianshi said nervously.

"What if the artifact is taken away by the underworld, wouldn't it be..." He didn't say the next words, but Xu Wenbo understood what he meant.

They spent a lot of effort to find this artifact, how could they get the underworld in vain.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenbo adjusted his mentality, walked out of the tent, and said politely to Wen Ci, "Captain Wen, I still have to trouble you to stay and go back after you get the artifact."

"If you can't get the artifact, it won't be good for the human world. You can't let the artifact fall into the hands of the underworld, right?" Xu Wenbo, who has been the head of the family for many years, said these words casually.

He would use the whole world to "threaten" Wen Ci. If Wen Ci insisted on leaving, he would ignore the safety of the world and place the investigation.

Wen Ci looked at Xu Wenbo and smiled, "In this case, I really can't leave, so I'll just wait for the people from the underworld to come."

"Captain Wen, please go into the tent and wait." Xu Wenbo said with a smile.

"No, I'm going to take a look at the terrain. I'll have a base soon." After Wen Ci finished speaking, he turned around and left, walking around.

When those heavenly masters saw that Wen Ci was staying, they naturally didn't care what he was doing. Only Xu Wenbo saw Wen Ci's behavior and snorted in his heart, then turned and returned to the tent.

Wen Ci is indeed uneducated and does not even have the most basic quality of respecting his elders.

After Wen Ci walked around the area, he found a deserted place and called Shang Shixu.

"I can't go back for the time being." Wen Ci complained, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. It's troublesome."

"Those heavenly masters left you behind." Shang Shixu asked with a smile.

"I asked them to contact the underworld, but they still won't let me leave." Wen Ci felt depressed, "Aren't you just afraid that the underworld will steal the artifact? It's hypocritical to say that it's for the safety of the world."

Shang Shixu smiled and said, "You didn't slap me?"

"I really wanted to, but I restrained myself when I thought about the image in the place." Wen Ci said helplessly, "I won't get involved anyway. I'll leave when they get the artifact."

"What artifact is it?" Shang Shixu asked the key point.

Wen Ci stopped talking.

Shang Shixu saw that Wen Ci was silent and said helplessly, "You don't know, do you?"

"I forgot to ask, and they didn't tell me." Wen Ci defended in a low voice.

"Go and find out clearly. If there is any danger, think of solutions in advance." Shang Shixu said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll go ask." Wen Ci hung up the phone, walked back to the Celestial Master's camp, and randomly asked a Celestial Master, "What artifact is this time?"

The Heavenly Master was stunned and shook his head, "We have never been close, so we don't know."

Wen Ci frowned and turned around to Xu Wenbo's tent. As soon as he entered, he found that Xu Wenrui had returned and the two were discussing things.

As soon as they saw Wen Ci come in, they all turned to look at him.

Xu Wenrui immediately stood up and said hello, "Captain Wen, what's wrong?"

"What kind of artifact is this time?" Wen Ci asked directly.

"We don't know," Xu Wenrui said helplessly, "I can just vaguely feel the artifact, but I can't get close and I can't be sure. I can only wait for the people from the underworld to come and look for it together."

"Don't you have any clues?" Wen Ci asked persistently.

Xu Wenrui shook his head.

Wen Ci frowned and went out to call Shang Shixu.

Xu Wenrui muttered inexplicably, "Why does Captain Wen care so much about what kind of artifact it is?"

"Young people are timid and it's normal to be afraid." Xu Wenbo said casually.

Wen Ci didn't care what those two people said about him. After the call was connected, he said directly, "They don't know either."

Shang Shixu fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Wen Ci vaguely felt something, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes." Shang Shixu said, "Don't stay there. Come back."

Wen Ci smiled bitterly, "Can I leave now?"

If the Celestial Master really watched him escape, the investigation office would be laughed at by the entire Celestial Master.

"I'll mobilize people over immediately. You should be careful. Xiao Xi and I will rush over immediately." Shang Shixu decided directly.

"Do you think something is wrong?" Wen Ci was confused.

"It should be." Shang Shixu didn't know why, but he was very panicked and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"No, even if you want to rush over, there is no plane at this late hour." Wen Ci said with a smile, "It's usually around seven o'clock at the earliest. If you rush over, everything will be taken care of."

"Don't worry about it, I will think of a way." Shang Shixu said, and then warned him worriedly, "You must be careful and contact me anytime if you have anything."

"I know." Wen Ci said amusedly, "I'm not a child."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ci walked aside, took out the talisman paper, and wrote the words good and bad on it.

The two words shone brightly and turned blood red at the same time.

The corner of Wen Ci's mouth twitched slightly, half red and half gray, and he couldn't help but cursed, "Mixed good and bad, what does this mean?"

It seems that things will not go too smoothly this time.
