"Indeed, it is the Emperor! Officer, we received a report from the Celestial Officials that the Emperor has sent a squad of Yin Gods, who are currently waiting outside the Southern Celestial Gate to escort the Officer," the immortal official replied with his hands clasped and bowing.
"So that's how it is. The Emperor has been gracious to me, and his summons cannot be ignored. I will go at once. Immortal official, please fetch the Heavenly Horse and wait outside the hall; I will proceed to the Southern Celestial Gate shortly," Yibai said with no hint of arrogance.
