Chapter 616: Summoning the Yin Official

"Mr. Chen, can you find out the reason for this?" Shi Chengye's breathing became rapid.

"I'll try. Tell me your sister's birth date, time, and name. Also, tell me the exact year, month, day, and time she died," Chen Yu nodded.

Without a second word, Shi Chengye gave Chen Yu his sister's birth date, time, name, and the exact time of her death.

"Shi Ying." Chen Yu looked at the name, then took out several Talismans and wrote the name and birth date on them.

"I need to go to a crossroads at midnight to ask if there is someone named Shi Ying who died on this date," Chen Yu said as he stood up.

"Ask who?" Chen Biao and Shi Chengye were both slightly stunned, not knowing who Chen Yu was going to ask.

"A Yin Official," Chen Yu spat out the two words. "Also, Mr. Shi, you need to prepare a chicken. The chicken must be drowned in water, not bled. A sacrificial table, and a basin of raw ox blood."

"Alright, I'll have someone prepare it immediately," Shi Chengye nodded and hurriedly called his bodyguards to prepare these items.

At midnight, Chen Yu had already set up the sacrificial table in front of a crossroads.

"Mr. Chen, are you going to summon a Yin Official?" Shi Chengye watched from the side, feeling it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Yes, a Yin Official is an Underworld messenger. Mr. Shi, do you want to broaden your horizons?" Chen Yu asked.

"Can I see it?" Shi Chengye asked.

"Of course you can." Chen Yu casually plucked a few leaves from the nearby green belt, pointed at them, recited a spell, and handed them to Shi Chengye: "Stick these on your eyes."

Shi Chengye followed instructions and stuck them on his eyes. Chen Yu then patted two more leaves and handed them to Chen Biao, then continued his work.

When he finished, he saw the time was exactly when the Yin Gate was wide open. Chen Yu took a deep breath, formed a Dao Formula with his hands, and began to summon the Yin Official.

Chen Yu's previous strength certainly couldn't summon a Yin Official directly, but having broken through his realm this time, he could summon some minor Underworld officials to ask questions.

Once the Dao Formula was formed, the yellow paper in front of the sacrificial table suddenly ignited on its own. Chen Yu chanted: "Respectfully invite the Yin of Heaven and the Yin of Earth, let the Yin Officials of the Five Directions arrive, the order is complete."

Chen Yu pointed his right hand, and that mass of yellow flame roared into the sky, forming a fire vortex that swirled incessantly overhead.

As the fire vortex slowly extinguished, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared from within the flames.

This Yin Official was twelve feet tall, draped in a black robe, and held a heavy chain. However, his appearance was hideous, and at first glance, he gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

This was indeed an Underworld messenger, and Chen Yu was surprised to find that this guy was none other than Yinxian, the Yin Official who had tried to claim the lives of Ye Xinyu and his daughter last time.

Chen Biao and Shi Chengye, with the leaves stuck to their eyes, couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Yinxian. Especially Chen Biao, who truly regretted wanting to see this thing.

Seeing a life-claiming Underworld messenger as a living person was by no means a good thing, but since things had reached this point, his regret was too late, so he had to bite the bullet and watch Chen Yu's next move.

"Up... Upper Immortal." Yinxian had originally been fierce and malevolent; anyone would be in a bad mood if they were suddenly summoned.

But as soon as he saw Chen Yu, the ferocity on his face vanished without a trace. Under the gaze of Li Chengye and Chen Biao, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Chen Yu.

Li Chengye and Chen Biao were stunned this time. Yinxian was twelve feet tall, held a chain, and had a fierce face; he looked extremely powerful, and he was a Yin Official after all.

Shouldn't this kind of Yin Official be a ghost god serving in the Underworld? This kind of ruthless character held the power of life and death over people, so why was he so respectful when he saw Chen Yu?

"It's you?" Chen Yu nodded. "I want to ask you about something. Check where this person is now."

As Chen Yu spoke, he burned the Talisman with Shi Ying's birth date on it, and Yinxian caught it in his hand.

"Upper Immortal, please wait a moment. I will ask an acquaintance among the Yin Officials; I will return shortly." Yinxian bowed slightly, not daring to get too close to Chen Yu.

Because he discovered that this time, the Purple Star Emperor Fate aura on Chen Yu was even sharper than last time; clearly, his realm had advanced significantly.

This secretly shocked Yinxian. It had only been half a year since he last saw Chen Yu, yet in this half-year, he had actually advanced so much. He was truly worthy of the Purple Star Emperor Fate.

"Wait a moment, there will be results soon," Chen Yu said to Shi Chengye.

After about ten minutes, Yinxian returned. He bowed to Chen Yu and said respectfully: "Upper Immortal, I have asked someone. There is no record of Shi Ying's passing on the Yellow Springs Road; she may be lingering in the human world."

"Someone who died three years ago, how could she still be lingering in the human world now?" Chen Yu was also shocked. If she were truly lingering in the human world, there was only one possibility: she had turned into a Ghost.

But according to Shi Chengye, his sister hadn't encountered anything special other than appearing in his dreams over the past year, which was strange.

"I am not clear on that. In fact, the number of Yin Souls going to the Underworld every day is too large, and occasionally some do not enter the Underworld after death. No one can explain these things clearly," Yinxian said.

"Alright, I understand. You may return now," Chen Yu nodded.

Yinxian bowed and turned to disappear.

"She isn't in the Underworld, so where is she now?" Shi Chengye said anxiously. "Mr. Chen, I beg you, you must help me. My sister has suffered too much."

"Let's go back first, I'll think of a way," Chen Yu pondered for a moment.

Back in the villa, Chen Yu asked: "Mr. Shi, what does your brother-in-law do? How was the relationship between the couple? Did he remarry after your sister passed away?"

"My brother-in-law was just an ordinary wage earner before, in the IT industry, but my sister liked him very much," Shi Chengye sighed and said. "I was originally against it at the time, but my sister's attitude was firm; she insisted on marrying him."

"And I saw that my brother-in-law was an honest person, someone worth entrusting her life to, so I agreed to the matter. When she got married, I gave her a house in Ning City and a BMW 7 Series as a dowry."

"What about him now?" Chen Yu asked.

"After my sister passed away, he was very grief-stricken and couldn't pull himself out of it for a time," Shi Chengye said. "He hasn't remarried yet, but he opened an IT company and is now fully devoted to the company."

"What is his name? I think I need to see him," Chen Yu said. "I don't have any leads right now, so I can only slowly investigate the problem. Your brother-in-law was the person closest to her while she was alive, so I can only start with him."

"Zhou Kai, founder of Kexing Network," Shi Chengye said. "I will go with you to see him."

"Alright, let's do it tomorrow; it's too late today. Also, after your sister passed away, did she receive any compensation? Has he done anything for the three of them?" Chen Yu asked another question.
