Chapter 101: The Unreconciled Yang Feiyun

The previous chapter was posted incorrectly, apologies!

That night, Yu Dahai learned that Yang Feiyun had already resolved the hidden danger, and feeling relieved, he drank a little wine and fell asleep.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Yu Dahai heard someone calling him by his ear.

Feeling a trace of drowsiness, Yu Dahai said impatiently, "Who is it, calling like a soul-summoner!"

He cursed and grumbled, intending to teach this person who disturbed his sleep a lesson.

As soon as Yu Dahai opened his eyes, he saw three detectives before him.

Yu Dahai did not react for a moment, and instead shouted loudly, "Who are you few? Don't you know Inspector Ke is my friend!"

Chen Zheng's voice was somewhat ethereal, sounding rather drawn-out to Yu Dahai.

"Yu Dahai, regarding the death of Chen Guixiang, please come with us to assist in the investigation."

Upon hearing the name Chen Guixiang, Yu Dahai was instantly jolted.

He forced himself to stay calm and said, "What Chen Guixiang? I don't know her. How did you get into my house?"

"I'm telling you, leave quickly, or I will file a complaint against you to Inspector Ke."

Chen Zheng immediately said, "Yu Dahai, stop quibbling. Come with us now, otherwise, we will arrest you for obstructing official business."

Yu Dahai panicked a little now and hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I'll call Inspector Ke to ask."

Chen Zheng immediately waved his hand, and the two Yin Messengers behind him instantly threw out Soul-Binding Chains, the iron chains directly trapping Yu Dahai's hands.

Chen Zheng immediately took Yu Dahai away from the villa and headed toward Lengjiao Mountain on Lamma Island.

It was the passing of the Yin Soldiers; nearby ghosts and monsters hid in the ground one after another, not daring to show their heads.

Yang Feiyun was just thinking about taking the Demon Blade to find Mao Xiaofang for revenge when he heard the sound of Yu Dahai's commotion from afar.

Yang Feiyun, whose anger had originally surged to his heart, was somewhat surprised, and he hurriedly searched for the source of the sound.

Very quickly, he saw Yu Dahai's soul being dragged away by three people dressed in detective uniforms.

Yang Feiyun felt a massive amount of Yin energy, but this Yin energy also carried a strand of righteous energy.

"Underworld Yin Messengers?"

Yang Feiyun was somewhat surprised; it was his first time seeing Underworld Yin Messengers.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Court and the Underworld truly exist, and the Heavenly Dao truly cannot be defied?"

Yang Feiyun murmured, yet the unwillingness in his heart kept surging up.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Yang Feiyun was furious, and he took the Demon Blade again to find trouble with Mao Xiaofang.

But the wind and clouds in the sky changed instantly, with lightning and thunder.

The thought that he would die appeared in Yang Feiyun's heart instantly.

The Night-Roaming God watched as Yang Feiyun put away his blade and left the Xiangdao Daoist Hall, only then withdrawing his magic.

Yu Dahai was quickly brought to the Underworld to confront Chen Guixiang and Zhang Guoquan.

Zhang Sheng was currently in the appearance of a fierce and menacing City God; as soon as Yu Dahai was dragged in, Zhang Guoquan gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Dahai, it was you who caused my death!"

Yu Dahai's face turned pale instantly, and he said in a panic, "Impossible, didn't you die a long time ago?"

Seeing Yu Dahai's fearful appearance, Zhang Guoquan felt incredibly satisfied and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you didn't expect this, did you? This is the Underworld, and I am reporting your crimes before the City God!"

Yu Dahai was terrified and hurriedly shook his head, saying, "Impossible, there is no such thing as an Underworld, it's impossible!"

Zhang Sheng immediately slapped the gavel and shouted, "Silence!"

The Yin Messengers in the hall looked at Yu Dahai, Zhang Guoquan, and Chen Guixiang one after another, and a massive pressure washed over them.

The overjoyed Zhang Guoquan and the panicked Yu Dahai both quieted down.

Only then did Zhang Sheng continue, "Yu Dahai, bringing you here today is to verify two matters: first, the matter of you betraying your compatriot Zhang Guoquan, and second, the matter of you instigating others to murder Chen Guixiang."

Yu Dahai looked at Zhang Sheng, his terrified eyes containing a trace of stubbornness, and he hurriedly shouted, "I didn't! Don't frame me!"

At this moment, Yu Dahai did not believe he was in any Underworld; he thought he must be dreaming, or that someone had set a trap.

Yes, that was it; Yu Dahai was hypnotizing himself this way, as he dared not face the reality that he was in the Underworld.

It was precisely this avoidance that made him somewhat insane.

Upon hearing Yu Dahai's denial, Zhang Guoquan instantly went berserk and screamed, "Yu Dahai, you're lying! That day, it was you who brought the Japanese invaders to capture me!"

If not for the Yin Messengers stopping him, the enraged Zhang Guoquan would have wanted to pounce and tear Yu Dahai to shreds.

"Silence!"

Zhang Sheng once again made Zhang Guoquan calm down.

He picked up the Book of Life and Death and read, "July 9th, 32nd year of the Republic: Zhang Guoquan died. Cause of death: Due to the tip-off from Xiangdao resident Yu Dahai, he was captured by Japanese invaders and beaten to death in a Japanese concentration camp."

Zhang Guoquan shouted excitedly, "City God, that is exactly it! It was this traitor Yu Dahai who caused my death."

Yu Dahai, however, shouted, "Just reading two lines like that, who would believe it? Produce the evidence! Where are the witnesses!"

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Since you want to see evidence, then I shall show you."

"Come, bring the Mirror of Life and Death over."

Very quickly, Yin Messengers brought over a bronze mirror.

Zhang Sheng immediately cast a spell, and the bronze mirror instantly glowed, projecting a segment of imagery.

One could see that in the imagery, it was indeed Yu Dahai bringing the Japanese invaders to the door to capture Zhang Guoquan.

Yu Dahai said in terror, "Impossible, it's impossible, how could this exist!"

Zhang Sheng slapped the table and shouted, "Silence! Now that the matter is clear, what else do you have to say, Yu Dahai?"

Yu Dahai hurriedly kowtowed and said, "City God, I was wrong, I confess my crimes!"

Zhang Guoquan said joyfully, "Hahaha, Yu Dahai, you have your day too! Wait for your death!"

Zhang Sheng immediately raised his hand and wrote: Yu Dahai has confessed without reservation, but his attitude is atrocious, adding one degree to his crimes.

Originally, this punishment did not exist in the Book of Life and Death, but as Zhang Sheng added a stroke, it appeared on the Book of Life and Death as well.

Zhang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Bring Chen Guixiang over."

The excited Zhang Guoquan was immediately taken away.

And Chen Guixiang, who had been brought over, screamed as soon as she saw Yu Dahai lying on the ground, "Yu Dahai, it was you who sent people to kill me, you beast, you deserve a miserable death!"

Yu Dahai's face turned even paler, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

Zhang Sheng asked, "Yu Dahai, did you order people to kill Chen Guixiang?"

Yu Dahai dared not quibble anymore at this moment and hurriedly confessed, "It was Yang Feiyun who told me to kill Chen Guixiang to end it once and for all; I was confused for a moment and agreed."

Zhang Sheng gave a cold snort and said, "The facts are conclusive. Chen Guixiang, your grievance has been cleared; wait to be reincarnated."

Chen Guixiang hurriedly asked, "Lord City God, how will this Yu Dahai be dealt with?"

Zhang Sheng stared at Chen Guixiang, and Chen Guixiang immediately felt the pressure, hurriedly bowing her head, not daring to act presumptuously.

Zhang Sheng said coldly, "Go be reincarnated in peace; the matters of your previous life have been decided, do not dwell on them anymore."

Chen Guixiang was immediately sent away by the Yin Messenger.

Zhang Sheng looked at Yu Dahai and said, "Your lifespan has not yet ended; when you die, there will be a judgment."

"Go and bring Yang Feiyun here."

Chen Zheng stepped forward to pull up the dead-pig-like Yu Dahai and took him away.

He sent Yu Dahai back into his physical shell, and Yu Dahai only felt that he had had a nightmare, with the specific details becoming somewhat blurry.

After settling Yu Dahai, Chen Zheng arrived at Yang Feiyun's secret chamber.

Yang Feiyun was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and the arrival of the Yin Messenger made him instantly aware.

He saw Chen Zheng in his detective attire and only then remembered, saying in surprise, "You are that captain!"

Chen Zheng was somewhat surprised, then nodded and said, "Correct. Let's go, follow me to the Underworld for a trip."

Yang Feiyun pinched a talisman in his hand and asked with curiosity, "Is there really a King of Hell in the Underworld?"

Chen Zheng said coldly, "I cannot disclose this matter. Yang Feiyun, don't force me to take action."

Yang Feiyun saw Chen Zheng's high-and-mighty attitude, and his inner rage surged, but he wore a smile on his face and stepped forward quickly, saying, "I was just curious earlier; since you won't say, then I won't ask."

The moment he got close to Chen Zheng, he instantly took out a divine talisman and struck at Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Yang Feiyun, you have some nerve!"

Yang Feiyun said in a great rage, "Hmph, you want me, Yang Feiyun, to go to the Underworld? Dream on!"

Chen Zheng immediately sent out a signal and then drew his Soul-Binding Chain and Ghost-Beating Rod, while Yang Feiyun also immediately drew his Demonic Blade.

The two sides clashed for several moves, and the collision of Yin energy and Demonic energy made a mess of Yang Feiyun's secret chamber.

The next second, the Night Wanderer Liu Yunxiang appeared from the void and shouted, "Audacious Yang Feiyun, surrender at once!"

Yang Feiyun was shocked and said, "Who are you?"

Liu Yunxiang shouted, "I am the Night Wanderer personally enfeoffed by the Lord City God!"

Immediately following, a gust of Yin energy struck, and it was the two generals, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, who appeared.

Facing the four Yin deities, Yang Feiyun did not put down his Demonic Blade; he attacked in anger, saying, "My fate is determined by me, not by Heaven!"

"Boom!"

The four Yin deities attacked together, and Yang Feiyun was directly knocked to the ground.

Immediately after, Yang Feiyun's soul was escorted to the Underworld.

Yang Feiyun arrived at the Underworld, and it was indeed filled with Yin energy, but unlike the eeriness of the mass grave, this place only made one feel majesty and awe.

Zhang Sheng looked at the unruly Yang Feiyun and asked, "Yang Feiyun, was it you who killed Chen Guixiang?"

Yang Feiyun raised his head and said, "Correct, it was indeed I who killed her."

Yang Feiyun sneered, "You gods, since you are so powerful, why didn't you stop this from happening?"

"You let the human world be full of suffering; is it because you want these people to keep worshipping you to show your status, huh?"

Zhang Sheng asked in return, "Yang Feiyun, do you think that in a world where one doesn't need to struggle and everything is easily obtained, how long could such people live? And how long could such a world last?"

Yang Feiyun said with dissatisfaction, "Then why is the world so unjust!"

Zhang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "Survival of the fittest; even immortals are like this. Those cultivators who use unscrupulous means will eventually be backlashed by karma."

"Survival of the fittest means that there is no absolute fairness in the world."

Yang Feiyun immediately questioned, "Then why can people like Yu Dahai live comfortably in this world?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "The fruit of this life is the cause of the previous life. The cause of this life is the fruit of the next life. Life after life, karma continues, and reincarnation never ends."

Yang Feiyun still refused to submit to karma; he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it, I can definitely change my fate!"

Zhang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "Send him back. The matter of Yang Feiyun killing Chen Guixiang is confirmed to be true."

Yang Feiyun looked up and laughed loudly, "I am not afraid! As long as I don't die, I will definitely change my fate!"

Zhang Sheng, however, flipped to the last page of Yang Feiyun's file and shook his head slightly, "What a pity, your karma ends in this life."

Yang Feiyun, who was sent back to the secret chamber, instantly woke up; he was somewhat surprised in his heart, "I didn't expect the entrance to the Ghost Gate Pass to actually be at Lengjiao Mountain."

The next day, Yu Dahai hurriedly found Yang Feiyun and asked, "Feiyun, I had a nightmare last night, but I can't quite remember it; anyway, it was very scary. Can you see what is wrong with me lately?"

Yang Feiyun hurriedly comforted Yu Dahai and said, "Boss, I have taken a look and discovered that you have some wandering souls."

Yu Dahai asked in surprise, "Wandering souls? What is that?"

Yang Feiyun explained, "It means your soul is unstable, Boss. At night, during the Yin hour and Yin moment, it will leave your body and run toward the place with the most Yin energy."

Yu Dahai was panicked and hurriedly asked, "Feiyun, then you must resolve this matter."

Yang Feiyun said with some difficulty, "I am not very skilled at this matter, but Master Mao should have no problem. I will go find Master Mao and ask."

Yu Dahai said anxiously, "Then hurry and go."

"Yes, Boss."

Yang Feiyun immediately found Mao Xiaofang, and upon seeing Yang Feiyun, Mao Xiaofang happily said, "Feiyun, why haven't I seen you these past few days?"

Yang Feiyun's complexion was somewhat ashen as he said, "Some things have come up recently."

Mao Xiaofang also noticed that Yang Feiyun's complexion was not right; he took a closer look and discovered a trace of Yin energy and demonic energy on Yang Feiyun's body.

He hurriedly asked, "Feiyun, if there is anything, you must tell me."

Yang Feiyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Recently, Yu Dahai's soul left his body. I originally intended to resolve this matter, but when I arrived at Lengjiao Mountain, I was wounded."

Mao Xiaofang immediately recalled, isn't that the place guarded by Daoist Master Zhang?

He hurriedly said, "That's impossible, isn't Lengjiao Mountain guarded by Daoist Master Zhang?"

Yang Feiyun immediately asked, "Could it be Daoist Master Zhang Sheng, the martial uncle of Master Chen?"

Mao Xiaofang nodded and said, "Correct. Previously, Cheng Cheng saw many ghosts there, so I went for a trip. Seeing that Daoist Master Zhang was there, I came back."

Yang Feiyun hurriedly said, "Could it be that Daoist Master Zhang was unable to handle it alone, allowing some demon to escape?"

Mao Xiaofang said with some hesitation, "That's impossible, Daoist Master Zhang can fly on a sword and summon wind and rain with ease."

Yang Feiyun said anxiously, "Master Mao, Daoist Master Zhang has been guarding it alone for so long without anyone to help; perhaps he was exhausted for a moment and something went wrong?"

"For the sake of the people of Xiangdao, I think it would be better for us to go and take a look."

Mao Xiaofang felt this made sense, so he said, "Then I will call Master Chen to go together."

Yang Feiyun smiled to himself and hurriedly followed.

Mao Xiaofang invited Chen Jiang to Lengjiao Mountain, and Chen Jiang hesitated for a moment before deciding to go on the trip with Mao Xiaofang.

The three of them immediately arrived at Lengjiao Mountain on Lamma Island, and Zhang Sheng had already put away his puppet, appearing before them in his true form.

Zhang Sheng asked with an indifferent expression, "Why have you come?"

Just as Mao Xiaofang was about to speak, Yang Feiyun immediately said, "Daoist Master Zhang, we just came to see if you need our help."

"For a great figure of the Profound Sect like yourself to personally supervise the building is a bit of a waste of time; why not leave this task to us juniors?"

Zhang Sheng sneered inwardly; Yang Feiyun was trying to stir up trouble.
