Chapter 936: Underworld Inspection Envoy

"Good, I understand. I will resolve this matter for you tonight." Chen Yu glanced at Yinxian and said, "It is time for this body of yours to be promoted to a Ghost General."

"Thank you, Immortal," Yinxian said, overjoyed. In the Underworld, there are five grades of bodies: Immortal, Underworld, King, General, and Official. The higher the grade of the body, the higher the authority and the greater the strength.

Those of the Immortal grade are only possessed by figures at the level of Underworld King, but he was only at the lowest, the Official grade. Although he was much stronger than ordinary Yin Officials, he was still the weakest existence in the Underworld.

To be promoted to a Ghost General requires countless merits, but now that Chen Yu had agreed to promote him directly to a Ghost General, this was a tremendous stroke of fortune.

Yinxian transformed into a wisp of black smoke and left. Chen Yu glanced at Lu Jin, sneered, and turned to leave.

The Xianyang Lu Clan? Since you are endlessly courting death, then I shall fulfill your wish.

Not until Chen Yu had left did the tiger, who had been staying in the room, collapse onto the floor with a thud. His legs trembled incessantly, and a yellow liquid flowed from between them.

He had seen clearly when Yinxian appeared just now; he even saw Lu Jin's soul being pierced through by a spear, and Yinxian had locked him with an iron chain and vanished instantly.

So, ghosts really do exist in this world, and people who commit many evil deeds really will have their souls detained.

In the city, at a luxurious villa, a middle-aged man stood up in a rage. He looked at the tiger, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and roared, "What did you say? Say it again! The young master's soul was detained?"

This man was Lu Jin's father, Lu Ye. Upon learning that his son had met with a mishap, he was filled with fury.

"Yes, yes, Head of Family Lu, I saw it with my own eyes," the tiger wept, trembling. "It was a Soul Detaining Envoy summoned by Chen Yu."

"Where is Xiao Jin? How is he now?" Lu Ye roared in anger.

"Young master... he is already dead," the tiger stammered. He could not withstand Lu Ye's wrath; after all, this master was the most powerful person in Xianyang City, and the great-grandmother behind his family was not someone to be trifled with.

"Who harmed him? Men, search the whole city immediately. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the person who harmed the young master for me," Lu Ye roared.

"It was Chen Yu..." The tiger trembled in fear. The scene Chen Yu had displayed before his eyes remained in his heart like a nightmare.

"Who is Chen Yu?" Lu Ye was stunned, unable to recall for a moment who this sacred personage Chen Yu was.

"Sir, yesterday the old man from the Zhou Family came over, saying he wanted to mediate the conflict with the young master. He also said this person is not simple and that our Lu Family cannot afford to offend him. You were angry and even fell out with him," a butler stepped forward and reminded him quietly.

"It's him? Men, immediately use all the power of the Lu Family, find that brat for me, and kill him," Lu Ye roared.

"No need for you to search, I have come myself." A faint voice drifted over, and immediately following a flash of a figure, a young man appeared in the room.

It was Chen Yu who had arrived. He stared at Lu Ye and said, "You are the person in charge of the Lu Family?"

"You are Chen Yu?" Lu Ye looked at Chen Yu, already feeling a secret shock in his heart.

Truth be told, although the Lu Family was not some top-tier great household, in Xianyang, they were a prominent family that few dared to provoke, and the bodyguards of their Lu Family were not pushovers either.

The Lu Family's large compound was heavily guarded, and for an ordinary person to want to get in would be harder than ascending to heaven. Yet, the Chen Yu before him had charged in without any obstruction; this level of strength was definitely not simple.

"That is indeed me," Chen Yu smiled. "Is there anything you would like to ask?"

"My son Lu Jin, did you kill him?" Lu Ye said in a cold voice.

"That's right, it was me," Chen Yu nodded.

"Why? What deep hatred did my son have with you?" Lu Ye roared. "If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about walking out of the Lu Family's gate."

"Your son brought disaster to the region, causing heaven's anger and people's resentment. I already taught him a lesson yesterday, but today he wanted to poison me. I am a person who dislikes trouble, so I took action directly."

Chen Yu said coldly, "Don't blame me for not giving him a chance; I did give him a chance, but unfortunately, he did not cherish it." As Chen Yu spoke, he stepped forward, his voice becoming icy in that instant: "Besides, do I need a reason to want someone's life?"

"Chen Yu, you are too arrogant. Do not think that just because you have some ability you can do whatever you want. Our Lu Family is not to be trifled with," Lu Ye clamored. "Men, take him down for me, dead or alive."

A group of bodyguards surged out, surrounding Chen Yu. Several bodyguards were armed; this matter would be difficult to end today.

"Your family's great-grandmother is not here?" Chen Yu's divine sense scanned the Lu Family's compound, but he did not find any traces, and he could not help but feel a little disappointed.

"My great-grandmother is in the countryside at the Lu Family Mansion receiving incense offerings. What kind of thing are you to be qualified to see our Lu Family's offerings? I will kill you today to avenge my son," Lu Ye roared in grief and indignation. "Men, take him down."

"Take him down." Following a deep shout, the Lu Family's people moved. Although these bodyguards were extraordinary in skill, they were ultimately ordinary people; in front of Chen Yu, they were truly weak.

As these people rushed toward Chen Yu, Chen Yu's figure vanished from the scene, and at the same time, a white aura suddenly surged out, enveloping everyone within it.

A cold, emotionless word came from the white mist: "Break."

With a boom, a dozen screams rang out. The dozen bodyguards who had rushed toward Chen Yu were sent flying by an invisible air wave. They were severely injured and had no power to fight back.

"You..." Lu Ye was startled; he had not expected Chen Yu to possess such powerful abilities. He had just spat out one word when he saw Chen Yu make a grabbing motion in the void with his right hand.

Lu Ye let out a muffled groan, his body stiffened, and an invisible force gripped his throat, lifting him directly into the air.

"Where is your great-grandmother? Why doesn't she come out to save you?" Chen Yu stared coldly at Lu Ye.

"Chen Yu... don't be too smug. You have offended the Lu Family; you will certainly not have an easy life," Lu Ye hissed through gritted teeth.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu smiled. He tightened his hand, and Lu Ye's body stiffened; he was almost suffocating.

Lu Ye struggled desperately, wanting to break free from the shackles of this invisible giant hand, but he could not struggle free no matter what. His vision gradually turned black; if Chen Yu squeezed for one more second, he would likely die.

Just at this moment, he felt his throat loosen. At this near-death juncture, Chen Yu let go.

He collapsed onto the ground, gasping for fresh air in large gulps. Just now, he had almost walked out of the Ghost Gate.
