Chapter 1721: Chapter 1023. Twelve Ghost Shadows

Chapter 1023

“Why?” Yama looked at Mo Jiuli and asked in confusion.

“Uncle Yama, those people already know about you, which means you are very likely under their surveillance. If you come with me to the Netherworld and stay away from the Ghost World for a long time, once they find out, finding you would also mean finding me, wouldn’t it? Moreover, although they know I’m still alive, they don’t know where I am. By staying in the Ghost World, when they come to ask you, at least you’ll know if they’ve found me and can inform me in advance, right? Otherwise, if you’re with me and we get caught, can you protect me?” Mo Jiuli asked, looking at Yama.

Upon hearing this, Yama hesitated. What Jiuli said was true, he wasn’t a match for those people and couldn’t protect Jiuli from them! Moreover, as Jiuli mentioned, those people didn’t know where Jiuli was, and if he went along, it would easily expose Jiuli’s whereabouts…

Thinking of this, Yama gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I agree with you. I’ll take you to the Netherworld, and then I’ll return to the Ghost World. If anything happens, I’ll notify you!”

“Thank you, Uncle Yama!” Mo Jiuli said sincerely.

“I swear here, I will never betray Mo Jiuli. If I violate this oath, I shall face Soul Dispersal!” Yama looked steadily at Mo Jiuli and suddenly vowed. As his vow concluded, a black light entered his forehead and vanished.

“Uncle Yama, you…” Mo Jiuli exclaimed in surprise.

“I once wavered and almost harmed Jiuli. This way, I can have peace of mind, and Jiuli can also rest assured!” Yama said with a smile.

After speaking, Yama waved his hand, and twelve identical souls appeared around him, each looking just like Yama. Mo Jiuli was quite astonished to see twelve souls of Yama and looked at him in puzzlement…

“These were crafted with a wisp of my Divine soul by your father. They are twenty ghost shadows that can communicate with me without barriers in the Human World, Ghost World, and Divine World and won’t be discovered. They can protect you twelve times in the Netherworld if necessary! Even if all twelve disappear, I would merely suffer minor injuries and wouldn’t be in any real danger. Keep them by your side for any uncertainties or happenings in the Netherworld; you can ask me through them. If I have something to convey, they will also notify you…” After finishing, Yama took out a pitch-dark Ring, waved his hand, and the twelve ghost shadows were absorbed into it. Handing the Ring to Mo Jiuli, Yama said, “Jiuli, bind the Ring, and you will be able to stay connected with me through them, giving me peace of mind!”

“Uncle Yama, thank you!” Mo Jiuli nodded and said again. Then she bound the Ring and wore it, after which the Ring disappeared, but she could sense the twelve ghost shadows inside with a single thought.

“Don’t be so formal with Uncle Yama. Since it’s decided, I’ll first give you a brief overview of the Netherworld and then send you away to the Netherworld!” Yama said, probably reminded by Mo Jiuli’s words, making him feel it’s better to quickly send Mo Jiuli to the Netherworld. The longer she stayed in the Ghost World, the more likely she was to be discovered, and by then Jiuli wouldn’t be able to leave.

“Alright!” she nodded and said, guessing what Yama was worried about. She was somewhat concerned herself and hadn’t planned to linger in the Ghost World to avoid being discovered.
