Chapter 2486

"But in reality, if they returned, you would definitely want to leave," the Empress said with a smile.

The Black Emperor paused. It was true. Although he had not stayed here long, ten years had passed. As the Black Emperor, he could not remain here forever.

"But don't they know that if I want to leave, they cannot stop me?" The Black Emperor sighed. No one in this world could stop the Black Emperor from leaving.

The Empress nodded in agreement. "So they strike first. Since they have not returned yet, and it is difficult to hand over your duties, you must stay for a while longer."

The Black Emperor was speechless. The Immortal Emperor said from the side, "I have also been away from the Immortal Palace for some time. I should go back and see. But there is no rush. At least wait until the couple returns."

"Actually, besides teaching a few children, we have not managed much here. Zhuge Hongwen handles all the affairs of this place," the Immortal Empress pointed out.

"I wonder how Zhu Yanyi found her. Zhuge Hongwen’s ability is indeed good. I even want to poach her," the Immortal Emperor remarked with some emotion.

"He cannot be poached," the Immortal Empress smiled lightly.

Indeed, she could not be poached. Although Zhu Yanyi was a hands-off boss, for some reason, the people of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect respected her deeply, from the bottom of their hearts. This result was entirely due to Zhuge Hongwen.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan returned to the Underworld while the Black Emperor was not paying attention.

Ten years had passed, but the Underworld had not changed much. After all, it was still under construction. However, the number of residents had clearly increased significantly.

In the Yan Palace, everything outside could be seen clearly through the windows.

Zhu Yanyi stood by the window, looking at the scene outside.

The status of the Yan Palace was very special. Standing at the window, Zhu Yanyi could see most of the Underworld. In fact, if one’s vision was far enough, many places could be seen.

The Underworld was too large, and the Yan Palace was always out of reach. Because the Yan Palace was always in mid-air, it gave all the people of the Underworld a feeling that it could only be looked up to.

All spirits and residents of the Underworld could see the Yan Palace in the sky. But although they could see it, not all spirits could enter.

Besides the daily reports from the Ten Venerable Yanluo Kings, only a few limited spirit gods could enter, such as Zhan Diting, Old Black, Old White, and Old Pan.

Ordinary spirits, spirit messengers, and Underworld residents could not approach it. It was not because the control was strict, but because no matter who it was, the Yan Palace could be seen, but only those with destiny could enter.

Of course, if a spirit with destiny could enter the Yan Palace, they could receive a gift from the Yan Palace, or request a good reincarnation.

However, until now, no such spirit had appeared.

Zhu Yanyi turned around and saw Yan Aohan burying his head in reviewing various documents. She walked over and sat in front of him, picking up a document at random to help.

As the Empress of the Underworld, she also had the right to handle these matters. If the Emperor of the Underworld was not present, the Empress could handle these matters with full authority.

Yan Aohan did not stop Zhu Yanyi from helping. He just smiled gently at her. "If you are tired, remember to rest."

"Okay," Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile.

Then the couple worked together, silently reviewing these documents. In this way, the speed seemed to increase.

The documents left over ten years were truly numerous. However, the documents in front of Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi had already been screened. General matters were handled by the Ten Venerable Yanluo Kings. Those here were matters the Ten Venerable Yanluo Kings could not handle. Other matters had long been fully processed by them.

"So, having suitable subordinates is very important," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at so many documents, and sighed with a smile.

It was indeed so. Because of the existence of the Ten Venerable Yanluo Kings, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi could be so relaxed.

Yan Aohan said, "Yes. So we should cultivate more subordinates when we have time, so we can be even more relaxed."

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Where did you learn this trick?"

"I learned it from you," Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "I found that you are really good at being a hands-off boss. Especially after using Zhuge Hongwen, it is even better. So I think I should learn from you. Having a capable assistant is really a good thing. Our Yan Palace also needs such a person."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Such opportunities can only be left to fate. If we can find someone suitable, we can hire them then."

Looking at the several stacks of thick documents on the table, Zhu Yanyi thought so. No matter what, as long as they could find suitable personnel, they could hire them.

"En. But the matters here are not for just any spirit to come over," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "Let's see. We will eventually find such an assistant."

Zhu Yanyi also hummed in agreement, but her hands did not stop working.

Unknowingly, Zhu Yanyi saw a document. This document was sent by King Qinguang. He said that in the planes under his jurisdiction, a plane had some situations. The souls coming from that plane had a strange light on their bodies. They were neither like demons nor like humans. Such souls had never been seen before. He was asking Yan Aohan how to handle this matter.

Zhu Yanyi handed this document to Yan Aohan. After reading it, Yan Aohan opened the communication with King Qinguang. "King Qinguang, I am the Emperor of the Underworld. I am looking at the document you sent."

"Your Majesty," King Qinguang said hurriedly. "Your Majesty is here for the matter of the Thirteenth Plane in the East, right?" Obviously, King Qinguang also knew why the Emperor of the Underworld was contacting him.

"En." Yan Aohan never liked dragging things out, so he went straight to the point. "What is the matter with those souls?"

"I have investigated carefully, and also asked Old Black and others to help investigate. I suspect it is evil energy, but I do not know where it comes from yet," King Qinguang said. "Your Majesty, I plan to go there personally."

Matters that made King Qinguang plan to go personally were certainly not small matters.

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. "Come to my place first, and then set off."

"Yes." Although King Qinguang did not know what Yan Aohan wanted him to come for, he knew it was certainly not a small matter. Yan Aohan would not ask them to come unless it was important.

After King Qinguang arrived, Yan Aohan tapped a point on King Qinguang's forehead:
