"Immortal Official Taibai, convey my decree. Gather troops at the South Heavenly Gate and attack the underworld!"
Attack the underworld?
Taibai Jinxing was completely dumbfounded.
Once war broke out with the underworld, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If things went badly, it could even lead to a major disaster.
