Chapter 161: Guest Consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor

In an instant, the entire arena fell silent.

The burly man was instantly covered in cold sweat all over his body.

"Immortal... Immortal Lord! You..."

The burly man stepped back a few paces, just about to flee, but was blocked by the Qianyan Guards who had caught up behind him.

"Burning the corpses is to prevent plagues arising from the corpses due to the evil god's resentment."

"Therefore, the cremation funeral rites of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor are not acts that defile the corpses."

"On the contrary, those of you who cause trouble at funeral rites..."

"... this behavior that denies the deceased their peace..."

"... are you not afraid of retribution?"

Jiang Yan walked over leisurely, his tone carrying indifference.

And with every step Jiang Yan took, his words struck like A Heavy Strike upon the hearts of these troublemakers.

Their faces turned pale.

But the burly man still roared in unwillingness:

"Immortal Lord! What benefits did these people give you that you would personally intervene!"

Jiang Yan's footsteps paused.

And the common people around all turned to look at him.

Jiang Yan suddenly wanted to laugh.

"You also know I am an Immortal Lord..."

"Do you think if I wanted something, I would need to obtain it through bribery?"

The common people around whispered among themselves, but their expressions all carried looks of approval.

"Yes, that is the Immortal Lord!"

"The Immortal Lord is a being beneath only one person and above ten thousand; half of Liyue was won by his hand. Whatever he wants, would my lord not grant it?"

"Damn! I actually doubted the Immortal Lord just now! I truly deserve to die!"

"But why would the Immortal Lord personally intervene in such a trivial matter?"

Jiang Yan gazed indifferently at the surroundings; he also wanted to see the reaction of the common people around to this.

However, looking at it this way, his reputation among the common people is not bad, is it?

"As for why you ask me why I came back to personally intervene in this matter..."

Jiang Yan suddenly spoke, also to explain their doubts to the common people around.

"The establishment of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was something I personally observed their entire process for, and I approved them to carry out such rituals."

This statement was not false; during the week of preparation for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Jiang Yan had indeed watched the entire process in detail.

This was also the reason why Jiang Yan issued a bill immediately after the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was established.

"The cremation ritual of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor can effectively stop the spread of plagues within corpses; of course, to accommodate your sentiments for earth burial, you may bury them in the earth after cremation."

"But the result you have all seen."

"Now that people are causing constant trouble here, I consider it a problem on my part as Liyue's Tianquan, as Liyue's Grand Steward."

"Perhaps it was my personally intervening in this project that aroused some of your dissatisfaction."

"So I came."

As Jiang Yan finished speaking, almost all the troublemakers turned pale individually.

Moreover, the looks the common people around cast at these troublemakers also changed.
