Chapter 104: Asking Chen Jiang for Help

Zhong Bang arrived in front of the Pagoda Building. He saw many spirits wearing suits, cheongsams, and Western-style dresses, and the underworld officers maintaining order were dressed in detective uniforms, completely different from the ancient attire he had seen before.

He curiously stepped forward and asked, "Brother, I'd like to ask, has the Yinquan also started to align with the modern world?"

The underworld officer looked back, frowned, and said, "You are a person of the living world, what are you doing here?"

Zhong Bang hurriedly said, "It's like this, when I was a detective before, a woman named Chen Guixiang accused Yu Dahai of being a traitor."

"After I listened to her, I started looking for evidence, but she was murdered."

"I think the person who killed her must have a connection to Yu Dahai, so I learned magic and came here to ask Chen Guixiang."

The underworld officer said directly, "Chen Guixiang, I remember her. Her case has already been interrogated by the City God, and she is now over there in line for reincarnation."

Zhong Bang immediately thanked him and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask one more thing, this City God—"

The underworld officer interrupted him directly, "You must not stay long in the Yinquan. Finish your business and hurry back."

Zhong Bang could not continue to ask, so he hurriedly ran toward the right side of the Pagoda Building.

From a distance, he could see a group of spirits standing on the right side of the Pagoda Building.

He hurriedly took out Chen Guixiang's hairpin, stepped forward, and shouted, "Chen Guixiang!"

Chen Guixiang, among the spirits, heard the call, looked back, and happened to see Zhong Bang.

Chen Guixiang walked out and complained, "Why did you only just come? My case has already been judged by the City God."

Zhong Bang hurriedly asked, "Then do you know who your killer is?"

Chen Guixiang nodded and said, "Of course, the City God brought him here directly."

Zhong Bang said joyfully, "Then tell me quickly who it is."

"Audacious!"

A sharp shout interrupted their conversation, and several black shadows were seen rushing toward Zhong Bang and Chen Guixiang.

Nearby underworld officers immediately threw out soul-binding chains, which rushed toward the black shadows like long snakes.

Zhong Bang hurriedly pushed Chen Guixiang away, and a tall black shadow appeared before him, striking out with a palm.

He hurriedly raised his hand to block, but was knocked back by the black shadow's palm.

Subsequently, a bolt of underworld thunder struck down directly; the black shadow fled rapidly, leaving only the other shadows to block the underworld officers.

Zhong Bang glanced at the disappearing black shadow and wanted to go find Chen Guixiang again, but he felt a heat in his hand. The next second, he returned to his own body, and the hairpin in his hand had already burned to ash.

He hurried to the front, saw Mao Xiaofang drinking tea, and hurriedly asked, "Master, I just went to the Yinquan to find Chen Guixiang!"

Mao Xiaofang smiled and said, "Abang, your progress is very fast. How was it, did you gain anything?"

Zhong Bang said anxiously, "Just as I was about to ask who the killer was, several black shadows suddenly appeared and stopped me. Now Chen Guixiang's hairpin has also burned; it must be the killer trying to stop me."

"Eh, what are you two chatting about?"

Yang Feiyun walked in from outside, shaking the water off his hands.

Zhong Bang glanced at Yang Feiyun, secretly thinking that this person's build was very similar to the black shadow that attacked him.

Mao Xiaofang said directly, "It's like this, someone previously accused Yu Dahai of being a traitor. This matter was originally being investigated by Abang, but the person who reported it was murdered."

"That's why Abang learned magic and wanted to go to the Yinquan to ask who the killer was, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the killer."

Yang Feiyun smiled slightly, "Is that so? That's a difficult situation."

Zhong Bang looked at Yang Feiyun and said, "This matter must have a connection to Yu Dahai. You have been by Yu Dahai's side for a long time, surely you know if there is anyone else around him who knows magic?"

Yang Feiyun shook his head and said, "Really? I've been by Yu Dahai's side for many years and haven't heard of such a thing. Perhaps this matter has nothing to do with Yu Dahai?"

Zhong Bang felt even more suspicious of Yang Feiyun, but he had no evidence.

Mao Xiaofang said, "Then Feiyun, you must help Abang."

Yang Feiyun immediately stood up and said, "Then I will go investigate now."

Zhong Bang was somewhat anxious; he was very suspicious of Yang Feiyun now, but his master trusted him deeply.

He immediately went out and arrived at the Maoshan Daoist Hall.

Chen Jiang, who was receiving pilgrims, signaled for Zhong Bang to wait a moment. After sending the pilgrims away, he walked over and asked, "Abang, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've been reborn."

"If only you were my disciple; learning my Maoshan Daoist arts would allow you to fly through the heavens and enter the earth."

Zhong Bang hurriedly said, "Master Chen, I came to ask for your help."

Chen Jiang asked in confusion, "Master Mao is much more capable than I am, why did you come to me for help?"

Zhong Bang hurriedly explained, "It's like this, a woman previously accused Yu Dahai of being a traitor, but she was murdered."

"I learned some magic, so I went to the Yinquan to ask her who the killer was."

"But just as I was about to find out who the killer was, black shadows suddenly attacked me. One of the shadows I fought with was very similar to Yang Feiyun."

Chen Jiang understood now. Mao Xiaofang treated Yang Feiyun as a close friend, and he also had a good relationship with Yang Feiyun.

He said, "No wonder you came to me; you only suspect Yang Feiyun, right?"

Zhong Bang nodded and said, "If I had evidence, I would have told my master."

Chen Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "I won't comment on this matter. How about this, I will accompany you to the Yinquan."

Having said that, he began to perform magic to summon Daoist Simu from the Yinquan.

As soon as Daoist Simu saw Chen Jiang, he scolded, "You brat, what is it this time?"

Chen Jiang hurriedly flattered him, "Uncle, I'm just taking a friend to the Yinquan to find someone."

Daoist Simu said irritably, "You brat, you have to call me for such a small thing?"

Chen Jiang was afraid of being beaten and immediately said, "There is a mastermind behind this. That person actually sent people to the Yinquan to hunt down my friend; they are very bold."

Daoist Simu said in surprise, "That shouldn't be. Currently, everything in Xiangdao is managed by Ah Sheng."

Chen Jiang seemed to have discovered a key point and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what did you say? Master Uncle is in charge of..."

Daoist Simu realized he had let something slip and hurriedly said, "Shut up! Don't let this matter get out!"

Chen Jiang said excitedly, "Understood, Uncle. I'm going to find Master Uncle right now."

Daoist Master Simu glared and said, "Aiya, you brat, see if I don't beat you to death!"

Chen Jiang immediately took out some high-quality incense, candles, and gold ingots from the side to beg for mercy, saying, "Uncle, spare my life!"

Daoist Master Simu took the incense, candles, and gold ingots, pursed his lips, and said, "This little bit isn't enough, ha; burn some more later."

After saying this, he went straight back to the Yinquan.

Chen Jiang looked at Zhong Bang with a proud expression and said, "How about it, do you know the power of my Maoshan now?"

Zhong Bang did not have a good impression of Zhang Sheng; he nodded casually and said, "Hi, hi, hi, I know, Master Chen, hurry up and take me to find Chen Guixiang."

Chen Jiang laughed and said, "Don't be in such a rush, wait for me to burn some things first."
