Above all spirits

Chapter 443 Invitation

Gu Yun couldn't find the entrance no matter how hard he tried, meaning he couldn't even see the threshold.

Whether it's enough or not is another matter.

Eh.

and many more.

The Shadow Fiend's ethereal nature seems to be an entry point into the rules of reality and illusion.

And the rules behind Yunyin's Illusory Dream Imperial Will should belong to the rules of illusion and reality, right...?

Ok.

Retract the foreword.

This is one of the rules that living beings cannot control, which is to eliminate the rules of illusion and reality.

At least we saw the threshold.

The woman's somewhat regretful reply pulled Gu Yun back to reality, and she shook her head.

"Please don't make things difficult for me."

"How could a lowly staff member like me possibly know about the affairs of six adults?"

"Tell me when you've made your decision, and I'll send you the appropriate invitation. Please go there on your own."

Gu Yun continued to ask softly, with a gentle smile on his face, giving people an impression of humility and politeness.

"kindness..."

"Then could you tell me which six departments they are?"

Although Gu Yun had tried his best to treat her with courtesy, a hint of impatience still flashed in the woman's eyes.

"can."

"However, you don't even know how you participated in the preliminary examination. If you are lucky enough to pass, you will work in one of these six departments."

"These six departments are: Lord Huang Xianyue of the Inspection Department, Lord Huang Taixu of the Internal Law Enforcement Department, Lord Gu Shu of the External Law Enforcement Department, Lord Huang Xian'er of the Diplomacy Department, Lord Huang Yisheng of the Dark Pavilion, and..."

She paused for a moment, then said.

"Lord Lin Fan of the Prison Guard."

After thanking him, Gu Yun stepped aside and fell into deep thought.

Since we don't know their specific strengths, we can only start by looking at the role they play in the department.

'Hey kid, ask around, who's that guy sleeping on stage the whole time?'

Why do you say that?

"Because that guy only opened his eyes when you were on stage; he looked down on everyone else, even that Blood Sword."

'ah. '

'What's wrong.'

'It's that guy.'

'You mean the one with the aura of rules?'

'kindness.'

"Then forget I said anything. Go find someone else; don't end up like a lamb to the slaughter."

Just as Gu Yun was weighing the pros and cons...

Xue Lingjian also walked over, his steps steady and his aura as imposing as a mountain.

Lin Tong, who had been by his side the whole time, followed closely behind.

Xue Lingjian waved his hand and threw the token over, as if he already knew the process and had set the target.

"Xu Lingjian".

"Give me an invitation from the jailer."

Xue Lingjian passed by Gu Yun like a gust of wind, his gaze not lingering on Gu Yun at all, as if Gu Yun were just a part of the air.

Lin Tong, on the other hand, had a sharp, piercing gaze that lingered on Gu Yun for a full three seconds. When she left, Gu Yun sensed a hint of wariness in her eyes.

This reminded Gu Yun of that conversation.

It's simply because he has a pair of rather unusual eyes.

What kind of ability would it be?

the other side.

The woman looked at the token thrown at her with a hint of anger, cursing inwardly who was so arrogant.

Upon seeing Xue Lingjian's score, his expression immediately changed, realizing that he was the dark horse who had just attracted the attention of countless demons and was tied for first place with the prince.

The impatience on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle warmth like a spring breeze. His attitude was extremely humble, even bordering on obsequious, as he spoke.

"So it's Young Master Xu."

He then quickly inscribed the words and handed them to Xue Lingjian.

"Your name has already been engraved."

"but."

"With your first-place ranking, you are qualified to receive all six leaders' invitations."

She smiled and continued, "The service was truly exceptional."

"Would you like the rest packed up and sent to you as well?"

Unfortunately.

Xue Lingjian accepted the token, seemingly unconcerned about this ingratiating gesture.

Instead, he was annoyed that he had to waste his breath to reiterate his purpose, and said coldly.

“I told you, give me an invitation from the prison warden.”

The woman who met Xue Lingjian's gaze suddenly shivered.

I broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He shakily took out a silver invitation from the spatial box and handed it over.

"This is Lord Lin Fan's invitation. Please keep it safe."

Xue Lingjian snorted coldly, took the invitation without any politeness, turned around and strode away.

Lin Tong also jogged to catch up.

See this.

Gu Yun shook his head and chuckled.

There are plenty of people like that in the upper realm too.

Also.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, such scenarios are all too common.

Everyone longs to receive guidance from a wise person and soar to great heights.

Anyone with eyes can see from Xue Lingjian's performance that his future is absolutely immeasurable.

He might not be a demon king, but he's practically a lord of demons.

Who would refuse to befriend a demon lord?

I am simply no match for them.

Gu Yun realized that the woman was probably still somewhat uneasy, and if he went up to ask her questions now, she might vent her resentment on him. So he waited for a while before speaking.

"Excuse me, who is the leader who has been resting with his eyes closed on the high platform? Please give me his invitation."

'Gu boy, you're really going? Even if you're a master of escape techniques, that's a demon lord who's practically a demon king... this...'

"I know what I'm doing. As long as it's not a demon king who hasn't mastered the rules, it's not a big problem."

Unfortunately.

There's a reason why some people are destined to live their entire lives in this way.

The woman was completely unaware of Gu Yun's goodwill. Instead, she mistakenly thought that Gu Yun was watching her make a fool of herself and only spoke up now that he had run out of amusement. So she said with great disdain.

"You think you can visit Lord Lin Fan?"

"But since you've already said it, there's no going back."

As he spoke, he immediately took out a similarly silver invitation card with a hint of schadenfreude and placed it on the table, indicating that Gu Yun could take it himself.

"Don't say I didn't warn you."

"This is just giving you the right to visit and ask questions. Although most leaders will answer your questions, it doesn't mean they don't have the right to refuse to answer. If you get kicked out, don't complain to me."

Gu Yun reluctantly picked up the invitation from the table.

The silver, luxurious border is inlaid, and the three characters "镇狱司" (Zhenyu Si, meaning "Prison Suppressor's Office") are prominently displayed in the lower right corner. These three characters alone are incredibly intimidating.

After confirming that everything was correct, Gu Yun put it into his spatial ring, clasped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

"Thank you."

'Gu, you have a really good temper. If it were me, I would have flipped the table over.'

"Come on, you've been on Earth and in the lower realms too long, haven't you? You've developed princess syndrome."

'Hey.'

"This is the Upper Realm. Do you think it's still the Lower Realm where I can run rampant and be the only one who matters? Let's avoid trouble if possible. Although I, being neither human nor demon, have suppressed most of my emotions to a minimum, it doesn't mean I've lost all my memories. I'm still the same person, and I still understand the principles of life. These principles are useful no matter who I'm dealing with; it's just a matter of how effective they are."

'That's quite a statement... I'd never seen you kill before, so I really thought you were a kind and gentle gentleman.'
