Chapter 938: Underworld Official Appears

~7 min read 1,395 words

This Yin Official was draped in red robes, wore a patterned crown on his head, stepped in black boots, and held a long whip in his hand; this fellow's tongue was three feet long, his face was sallow, and he looked extremely terrifying.

"Audacious Underworld official, how dare you enter the mortal world to form a contract with a living person? Why not return with me to the Underworld to accept Hell Fire Torture?" This Yin Official roared, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, looking awe-inspiring.

This fellow was a Rank Six official; both his attire and his aura were far stronger than Yinxian's. Although his rank was not much higher, he looked very powerful.

Yinxian was startled, not expecting this Patrol Division Commander to arrive so quickly. He retreated a few steps and subconsciously looked at Chen Yu. He had risked his life to lure this fellow up here, which was actually very dangerous; if Chen Yu had no way to resolve this matter today, then all that awaited him was being thrown into a boiling oil cauldron.

"Is this your Underworld's Patrol Division Commander?" Chen Yu looked at the Rank Six Commander before him with interest.

"He is an Earthly Immortal; he is mainly responsible for Underworld punishments, and he patrols the four directions to maintain order in the Underworld." Yinxian retreated behind Chen Yu.

He feared the Commander before him because the other party was a Rank Six official, one level higher than himself. Although they were both clerks, the aura on the Commander still made Yinxian afraid.

Chen Yu nodded. He walked forward, looked at the Commander, and said with interest, "You are the Underworld's Patrol Division Commander?"

"Audacious mortal, you do not kneel upon seeing this Commander? Do you believe that I will use the Ghost Beating Whip in my hand to strip your soul and destroy your physical body?" The Commander's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he raised the whip, which was heavy with black Qi.

He was also puzzled; normal people could not see him, and even if ordinary people did see him, most would be scared out of their wits. But now, this person before him was not only unafraid but dared to take the initiative to step forward. What kind of background did this fellow have?

"Heh, kneel?" Chen Yu laughed: "That doesn't exist. Yinxian is under contract with me; he listens to me. You want to take him away?"

"Hmph, a mere Ghost Clerk dares to privately form a contract with a mortal; this is disregarding Underworld laws." The Commander snorted coldly and said: "I am determined to take him back to the Underworld to suffer the punishment of fire and ensure he can never be reincarnated."

As he spoke, the fellow flicked the whip in his hand, and Underworld Fire manifested on the whip's body. With a *crack*, the whip lashed toward Chen Yu.

The Ghost Beating Whip in this fellow's hand was an item from the Underworld; if it lashed onto a person, it would inevitably damage their soul.

If the soul were damaged, the person would be paralyzed or mentally disabled at best, or die directly at worst. As an Underworld Commander, this fellow actually treated human life as nothing.

His rank was not high, but his official arrogance was quite large. Chen Yu sneered, and he suddenly grabbed the tip of the Soul Beating Whip with his right hand.

"You dare to resist?" The Patrol Division Commander looked at Chen Yu in disbelief. When he was in the Underworld, whether it was a local Ghost Clerk or a vicious evil ghost, they would all be obedient under his whip.

Because one lash of this whip did not hurt the body, but the depths of the soul. If this whip were used with force, it could directly beat a person until their soul scattered.

Therefore, this fellow's status in the Underworld was actually quite transcendent, and he was accustomed to being arrogant. But he did not expect that a mortal would not only not fear him but actually dare to resist?

"You hit me? Do you expect me to just stand here and let you hit me? In this world, I am afraid such a thing does not exist; at least, it will not happen to me." Chen Yu laughed, and he suddenly backhanded the Soul Beating Whip away.

He flicked it in his hand, and with a *crack*, the whip let out a sharp whistle in mid-air. Then, Chen Yu grabbed the whip and lashed it fiercely toward the Patrol Division Commander.

Although this Commander's outfit looked very imposing, in fact, he was a total amateur. If not for the suppression of rank and aura, Yinxian could have pinned him to the ground and rubbed him into the dirt.

So when Chen Yu's whip lashed out, the fellow let out a miserable shriek and hissed: "You mortal, how dare you whip a Commander! You wait, I am going to the Underworld now to find a Soul Detaining Envoy to drag your soul into the Underworld."

"And then cast you into the Eighteen Levels of Hell to let you suffer the pain of burning and frying for all eternity."

The fellow finished his threats, turned his body, and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, intending to disappear.

But after he turned and the green smoke flashed, he was shocked to find that his body was still on the spot, and Chen Yu was looking at him with a playful expression.

"What is going on? This, what is going on?" The Commander panicked. He hurriedly turned again, wanting to run, but the result this time was the same; he was still standing on the spot, his figure not moving an inch.

"Is it you playing tricks?" The Commander looked at Chen Yu angrily.

"That's right, it's me." Chen Yu sneered, grabbed the whip, stepped forward, and lashed down with a heavy blow.

The Patrol Division Commander let out a miserable shriek and turned to run, but on the ground around him, six Talismans suddenly lit up, and an invisible wall blocked him here; he could not escape at all.

"What are you doing? I am an Underworld Patrol Envoy; just try touching me." The Commander screamed, threatening him incessantly.

*Crack*... Chen Yu lashed out with the whip again. The fellow let out a miserable shriek. He wanted to escape, but he could not get out of this area no matter what. He was beaten until he could only hop on the ground, while Chen Yu lashed him whip after whip, beating him until he was half-dead.

Yinxian, on the side, watched everything before him in shock; he was both terrified and felt a sense of relief.

This kind of Patrol Division Commander was usually arrogant; a lowest-level Ghost Clerk like himself was like a grandson in front of them. Now, seeing this fellow being beaten up by Chen Yu here, his mood could not have been better.

After a fierce beating, the fellow finally caved. He lay on the ground trembling, his patterned crown and clothes in complete disarray; the majesty he had just now had vanished without a trace.

"Stop hitting, don't hit anymore, whatever conditions you have, just say them." The fellow lay on the ground, snot and tears running down his face, begging for mercy.

He himself was a pampered existence, and in the Underworld, he only dealt with minor clerks or evil ghosts who refused to be disciplined. In front of those people, he was a god; when had he ever been beaten like this?

"The condition is, spit out your Yin Pellet and hand it to me." Chen Yu smiled faintly.

"What did you say? This is impossible." The Commander was shocked and screamed: "This is where my rank resides; it is more important than my life. You want to snatch my Yin Pellet? You, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. Blame yourself; of all people to trouble, you had to trouble Yinxian. He works for me." Chen Yu said unhurriedly.

"I was wrong, Immortal. Let me go back, and I guarantee I will never trouble him again. I will even let him become a free soul, unrestricted wherever he goes." The Patrol Division Commander said, trembling.
