The moment the Ten Kings of Hell finished speaking, Yunxi and the other three focused their gazes on this great figure, yet none of them spoke to ask a question.
After waiting quite a while without seeing the four take the initiative, the Ten Kings of Hell shook the folding fan in his hand and said,
"Why don't you ask how I intend to help you?"
A gleam settled over Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes as she answered politely,
"Spirit stones do not simply fall from the sky. We were only wondering what we possess that could serve as payment for Lord Yama's assistance."
His hand, which had been waving the folding fan, paused. A faint smile curled at his lips.
"Ha ha! Speaking with clever people is refreshing."
Now that everything had been laid bare, Yunxi replied frankly,
"We are all ears. Please explain in detail, my lord."
The Ten Kings of Hell waved the folding fan in his hand and shifted into a more comfortable reclining position in his chair.
"You must already know that the barrier of the Eighteen Levels of Hell was damaged, allowing a group of vicious souls and ferocious ghosts to escape. Although Eldest Brother repaired the barrier, before that happened, some of the most brutal souls and ghosts had already fled. They have yet to be captured and returned. We suspect they took advantage of the chaos to leave the Ghost Realm."
He paused before continuing.
"Although this was a dereliction of duty by the Underworld, those escaped souls and ghosts must be brought back. Thus, I would like to ask for your help."
"Amitabha. We are duty-bound to help with the matter Lord Yama has mentioned, but how can you determine that those vicious souls and ferocious ghosts will appear in the Weiyu Realm?"
