After approaching the Dead Soul City, Gan Jue did not fly in from the above Dead Soul City. However, he remembered that Su Jiuer once said that there was a defensive formation above the Dead Soul City. If you flew in rashly, you would definitely not have a good end, so Gan Jue chose to go around the main gate of the Dead Soul City from the sky from afar and landed on the vast platform in front of the towering giant gate.

Watching Gan Jue fall from afar, the two big men who were originally busy guarding outside the Jumen immediately released their martial souls and stared at him vigilantly.

"It seems that nothing really happened..."

Seeing this, Gan Jue was completely relieved and walked towards the two giants.

"Who is coming? Sign up!"

Seeing Gan Jue approaching, the two strong men immediately shouted in a deep voice. The figure of the Martial Bull and the Giant Horse Martial Souls flashed slightly, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"It's me, Uncle Fan and Uncle Xie."

Gan Jue said, slowly walked to the two big men and looked at them with a faint smile. When the two big men saw Gan Jue, they immediately widened their eyes and looked at him in shock:

"You... are you the candidate for the young city lord back then?!! Are you back?! Aren't you trapped in the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea? How did you come back! Now isn't the time for the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea to be opened!"

"Haha, this is a long story... How is the city lord? Take me to see her quickly. By the way, how long has it been since I set out to the Secret Realm of the Underworld?"

The two big men stared at Gan Jue for a long time before looking at each other and said in a deep voice:

"The city lord was closed three years ago after entering the secret realm of the Dark Sea God Light Year, and he has not appeared again. You may not see her now."

"Three years ago? Huh... Then count it like this... I've been in the Secret Realm of the Underworld for almost four years. This is really... But fortunately, there are almost half a year left before the five-year agreement... Fortunately, I didn't miss it."

After hearing the two of them, Gan Jue calculated a little in his mind and finally put down the big stone in his heart. Although it wasted nearly three years for him to accept the inheritance of the God of Death in the God Realm, fortunately, he had already increased his soul power to level 60 because of hunting the Soul-Suiting Souls. In terms of strength, he should not be able to lose.

only...

"You said the city lord is in custody...? What about the three palace lords? And the city lord is in custody. Who will handle the affairs in the city now?"

"Of the three hall masters, Lord Bai went to Douluo Continent, and only Lord Su and Lord Zang were still in the city. As for the affairs in the city, most of the matters in the city are now represented by Lord Long Shao and assisted by Lord Su.

"Okay... Then let me go in first. Then... please inform the two hall masters for me, and I will wait for them in the city lord's hall."

Gan Jue thought for a while and spoke to the two of them.

"...Okay, let's go, let's go in through the side door."

Fan Jiu, the man with a martial soul similar to a man with a man of bull, just pondered for a moment, then nodded and walked towards the side door with Gan Jue.

No matter what Gan Jue is in the current situation, since he wants to meet the two hall masters, he should not be able to make any tricks.

"You wait for me and I will ask someone to inform the two palace masters."

Fan Jiu took Gan Jue into the side gate of Dead Soul City, and after saying something to Gan Jue, he immediately greeted two patrol personnel not far away, walked over and whispered to them.

"Okay, let's go, I'll go to the city lord's hall with you."

"good."

Gan Jue had no objection. After responding, he smiled and went to Heizhu with Fan Jiu. He knew that he suddenly appeared a few years later, and the other party was just worried about him.

When he arrived in front of the Black Pillar, Gan Jue took out the Death Soul Ring given to him by Su Jiuer from the storage ring, and waved in front of a door of the Black Pillar. The door rose up, revealing the movable room inside.

It seems that my Death Soul Ring has not lost its effectiveness yet...

Gan Jue murmured in his heart, and walked in with Fan Jiu.

Although the mobile space Gan Jue is using now is much smaller than the room where Su Jiuer was at the time, it also looks like more than 50 square meters. It has all kinds of food and wine. It is only a lower level than the mobile space of Su Jiuer and the three hall masters. It is a space that can be used at the level of the guardian.

Although the moving space in this black column did not rise slowly, it took nearly ten minutes to reach the top floor where the city lord hall was located.

Walking out of the elevator and passing through the corridor, Gan Jue looked at the familiar place and couldn't help but smile.

Although I have not really left for four years, I have been around for almost a year. I still feel like I am returning after a long time of separation.

"Young Master, you are back..."

Just as Gan Jue sighed in his heart, a crisp exclaim suddenly rang in Gan Jue's ears. Gan Jue turned his head and saw his original maid Xiao Xiu holding a pot of tea, standing at the exit of a corridor in shock and looking at him.

"Yes, Xiaoxiu, how are you doing after so long?"

"Fortunately... Young Master, you are finally back! I was sad for a long time when I heard that you had sacrificed in the Secret Realm of the Underworld..."

After saying a few words, Xiaoxiu finally reacted from the shock and expressed her thoughts to Gan Jue in surprise.

Of course, I stopped there. Xiaoxiu did not cry and couldn't help herself when she saw her young master coming back like in some novels. Although the relationship between the two was good, it was just the relationship between Zhongyifu. So after Gan Jue and Xiaoxiu chatted for a few words, they waved to her:

"Okay, Xiaoxiu, I still have something to do. I'll chat with you after I'm done."

"Okay young master..."

After hearing Gan Jue's words, Xiaoxiu nodded and left with a brisk pace. Gan Jue and Fan Jiu soon arrived at the city lord's hall, which is where Su Jiuer once worked.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Shan, long time no see!"

Looking at the two people guarding at the entrance of the city lord's hall, Gan Jue greeted them with a smile.

These two are guards in the city lord's hall. In the past, Su Jiuer wanted to notify someone, which was their mission, so Gan Jue was very familiar with them.

"Young Master...you are back!!"

When the two saw Gan Jue, they were also shocked like Xiao Xiu.

"Yes, I'm back. Is it... Lord Long City?"

"Yes...ah...what's wrong."

"It's nothing. I'll go in and see him. You don't have to worry about me."

Gan Jue said, then he staggered the two of them and walked into the hall.

“Hey…”

The two of them were about to stop them, but Fan Jiu stopped them.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it."

As he said that, Fan Jiu followed him in.

In fact, the relationship between these two people and Gan Jue is quite good, but after all, the people in the city lord's hall have changed now, and Gan Jue has not come back for so many years, so they still have to stop him. However, since Fan Jiu is in charge, there is no problem, so after the two agreed, they still stood at the door with peace of mind.

Although Fan Jiu and Xie An are two guarding the gate, their strength and power are not weak compared to those guardians of Dead Soul City. After all, if you don’t have any strength and power, you can’t do the position of guarding the gate.

Gan Jue walked all the way into the city lord's hall, and the arrangement here basically did not change much, and it was still the same, but the person who handled the affairs was no longer the indifferent figure at the time.

"What's up...?"

When Long Xiao heard someone coming in, he asked without raising his head. Obviously, he thought the two old men who came in were the two outside the door, so he had something to report to him.

However, Long Xiao waited for a long time, but he didn't hear the response. He naturally looked up and took a look. Just one glance made him settle down immediately and widen his eyes.

"Long time no see, Brother Xiao."

Gan Jue stood there, looking at Long Xiao with a faint smile.

"Ajue...you are back!"

Long Xiao said, immediately stood up from his seat, quickly came to Gan Jue's side, and looked at him carefully from beginning to end.

"How did you... come out of the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea?"

Long Xiao thought about it and couldn't figure out how Gan Jue came out. Now is not the time for the secret realm of the Nether Sea to be opened. Moreover, when Su Jiuer entered the secret realm to look for Gan Jue, he really found the cave of Gan Jue and saw Gan Jue's message. But unfortunately, at that time, Gan Jue had already reached the inside of the secret realm of the Nether Sea, and Su Jiuer also chased the inside for a distance, but unfortunately, he did not find Gan Jue in the end.

Su Jiuer cannot stay in the Secret Realm of the Underworld like Gan Jue, because the Divine Light of the Underworld Sea will only appear once every ten years, so if Su Jiuer had not gone out that year, she would have to wait until the Divine Light of the Underworld Sea appears again ten years later before she could leave.

So in the end, Su Jiuer chose to leave the secret realm and return to the Dead Soul City, hoping that the secret realm team entering the secret realm could find Gan Jue in the next few years.

"After the city lord came back, I and Thorne and others entered the Secret Realm of the Underworld to find you every year, but you never returned to the cave on the cliff. You left a message saying that you went inside the Secret Realm, and said that the gray light could protect you from the Secret Realm. But when we entered the Secret Realm again, there was no such situation where Secret Realm gathered together, and we could not verify your statement. So...what is going on??"

"This... I'm talking a long story. Uncle Fan has sent someone to inform Lord Su and Lord Zang. When they arrive, I will explain to you together."

Faced with Long Xiao's series of problems, Gan Jue was also a little helpless. But he didn't want to say it several times, so he had to let him wait a moment.

"By the way, I heard from Uncle Fan that the city lord was shut down and could he notify her of leaving the prison?"

"Well..., this, I need to ask the teacher and the others. By the way, Uncle Fan, you go back, don't worry, it's all right here."

Long Xiao was originally answering Gan Jue's question, but as he spoke, he suddenly turned to Fan Jiu.

"Well... OK, then I'll leave first."

After pondering for a while, Fan Jiu nodded and turned around and left the city lord's hall. After his figure disappeared in the hall, Long Xiao waved to Gan Jue, and the two of them came to two adjacent chairs and sat down.

"Ah... Actually, the closure of death is just a name for the outside world. The real situation is that the city lord's situation is getting worse and worse, and he can no longer handle the affairs of the Dead Soul City, so he retreated after entering the Secret Realm of the Underworld that year. The three palace lords finally chose me to handle affairs for the city lord for the time being after discussion. Now, since Ajue, you are back, this position should be given to you. You don't know how many things I have to deal with in a day, really, my head is big! Or are the two guys Thoren and Mu Yun comfortable, you can ignore everything every day, just practice. By the way, Ajue, how strong are you now?"

"Level 60, where are you? You are afraid you have become soul saints, right?"

"Fortunately, because I have to deal with affairs, I have lost a lot of cultivation in this area. I only went to the Mitsukoku Canyon to obtain my seventh soul ring. Now the soul power is only level 71."

"Awesome..."

After hearing Long Xiao's words, Gan Jue sincerely praised him.

"What's so amazing about this? Thoren and Mu Yun have become Soul Saints early last year. Now their soul power is probably almost level 73. Alas... Ajue, you should take over the position of this young city lord as soon as possible. Your ability and strength are the best among the four of us, and this position should also be yours."

This was the second time Long Xiao said this in just a few minutes. It can be seen that he wanted to hand over the burden on his body to Gan Jue.

"Haha, Brother Xiao, you should take this burden firmly first. I have a lot to do next."

"What's the matter?"

"Well... I want to leave first and go back to Douluo Continent."
