Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Since he had a reputation of being a mystery solver among the gods, the whole meeting came to a conclusion to assigne him in this case, along with a martial and civil god.

The martial god who volunteered was Pei Ming, and the civil god who volunteered was Lin Yue.

Xie Lian wanted to strangle the woman right then and there when she had volunteered. Since she was fairly popular among the mortals, they agreed, presuming she had the knowledge to help them.

Truth be told, the other gods just wanted Xie Lian to handle the danger while they sat back and relaxed. He knew this very well. He didn't mind, but Feng Xin and Mu Qing did. They were very much against this idea. But they were just two against many others. So of course majority won.

Pei Ming had a good opinion of Xie Lian and wanted to help him, since he was the second strongest martial god. This was a devastation they were dealing with, so they had to be as careful as possible.

Assigning their junior officials to answer prayers, the three of them came down. Xie Lian didn't have any junior officials as he was worshipped alongside Hua Cheng in many places, which was rather pretty frowned upon by the other officials, but he didn't mind. His name had spread quite a bit by now and more people were worshiping him. Many ghosts also helped him fulfill the wishes of the common people, much to their dismay, but they trusted Xie Lian as much as they trusted Hua Cheng.

They walked through the central plains, and ended up in a forest on the way to the central capital.

Lin Yue spoke, "TaiZi DianXia, it has been a while since there has been such a big problem in the mortal realm. Do you have any idea of who this new devastation could be? Any guesses?"

'Shut you hole, assface.' Xie Lian wanted to say that really bad to this bitch that was walking beside him, but obviously he didn't show it. Instead, he spoke, "Much ashamed. I have no guesses. How about General Pei? Do you have any?"

Pei Ming shook his head, "No idea. Who knows who this guy is."

Lin Yue sighed, "Looks like it's going to be a tough mission. We know nothing of our enemy."

"Ling Wen is investigating as much as she can. She will give us information in a short while I believe." Xie Lian spoke.

Lin Yue smirked, "Hmph. The palace of worn out shoes is always worn out after all. How much information can she collect?"

'More than you can afford to hold in that ant sized brain of yours.' That was Xie Lian's head slandering her. Pei Ming spoke, "Hey. Noble Jie is very good at collecting information. She will surely give us some good information."
