The crowd continued to bombard Xiao Jie with several questions, all of which he answered patiently. Ultimately, no one chose to stay as a ghost. They had deeply understood the suffering of the Nether River and the weakness of ghosts, and all longed to regain a substantial body and a hopeful future.
"Good! Since everyone unanimously agrees, then I will..." Xiao Jie was about to instruct the Ghost Officials to begin arrangements, but a voice interrupted him.
