Chapter 481

"Xiao Jiu…… Xiao Jiu……"

After sinking into sleep, I actually heard Yu Nian calling me.

When I opened my eyes, everything before me was a hazy grey.

Yu Nian stood before me, raising her hand, she could even touch my hair.

"Senior sister, am I dreaming or not?"

"It is a dream, and also not a dream."

Yu Nian shook the thing pinched between her fingers; I looked closely and it was actually that entrusted netherworld notice.

Yu Nian said: "I established a connection between it and you through it, pulling you over, but my ability is shallow, only three minutes; to make a long story short, Xiao Jiu, you don't need to ask anything, just listen carefully to what I say, every word and sentence must be remembered clearly."

"Tomorrow night, bring the soul-guiding lamp and all cinnabar spirit bones, go to the entrance where you usually enter the ghost market, wait in front of that earth god's temple, someone will come to meet you, after that just follow the arranger's instructions; remember, time is short, we'll seize every second to complete this transaction."

As her words fell, before I could ask anything, Yu Nian lightly tapped my brow, and I suddenly jerked awake from sleep.

In the darkness, I stared at the canopy with my eyes open, somewhat unable to regain my senses.

I couldn't help but raise my hand to touch my brow; there seemed to still linger the warmth of Yu Nian's finger.

Just now…… was Yu Nian giving me a dream?

I hurriedly sat up and got out of bed, striding toward the Nan Shu Fang.

Pushing open the small door of the funeral shop on this side, sure enough, I saw the pawn ticket floating in mid-air, emitting a faint green light.

When my finger touched the pawn ticket, it disappeared and small characters appeared.

The small characters indicated the transaction time: tomorrow night!

Tomorrow night, who exactly will come to meet me?

How then can I successfully enter the Yin Dang Hang?

I have no idea at all.

But I understand, the pawn ticket has been received, so I only have one chance.

I must succeed.

Because only if I succeed can I retrieve all the abilities that Feng Wu Jiu originally pawned to the Yin Dang Hang; only then will Nirvana be secure.

This is equally important for me and for the Yin Dang Hang.

Strangely, after experiencing this, I actually slept exceptionally soundly in the second half of the night.

I slept until before lunch, and Li Qingying didn't wake me.

All day I felt somewhat uneasy, and I explained the situation to Li Qingying.

Li Qingying was very worried about me, but also knew I had to go: "Xiao Jiu, you must be careful, you must come back."

I nodded solemnly: "Trust me, also trust senior sister; she will surely arrange things well for me."

In the evening, I had just taken down the soul-guiding lamp from under the eaves when my phone rang.

I looked and saw it was a call from Fang Chuanzong; I hurriedly answered.

On the other end, Fang Chuanzong's voice was tense: "Xiao Jiu Zhanggui……"

He wanted to speak but stopped.

My heart sank sharply, intuition bad: "Old Fang, tell me any news, I can bear it."

"I've made contact with the Copper Coin Person, but……" Fang Chuanzong said with difficulty, "The Copper Coin Person also can't sense the existence of Liu Qiye."

Not being able to sense…… the hidden possibilities behind this are too many.

Perhaps the environment where Liu Junyan currently is, the Copper Coin Person cannot reach.

Or perhaps…… no, that won't happen.

Liu Junyan is not that fragile.

He won't lightly abandon this mess and ignore it.

"Since last night, the Special Affairs Handling Office has dispatched many people everywhere, yet they couldn't find any trace of Liu Qiye, including the Zàng Qū area."

Fang Chuanzong mentioned Zàng Qū, I immediately asked: "Besides Liu Junyan, have there been any traces of Di Luan, Feng Xianqiu, or things like the Black Python in Zàng Qū?"

Fang Chuanzong said firmly: "No, at least based on the information we currently have, everything is calm."

"Not going to Zàng Qū shows their purpose hasn't been achieved yet." I said: "Could it be that they've returned to the Feng Clan?"

After saying that, I immediately denied myself: "It's also impossible they returned to the Feng Clan, otherwise my aunt would definitely have sent news back to me."

Not in the human realm, not in the Feng Clan, even less likely to ascend to heaven; could it be…… they've gone to the underworld?!

Thinking of this, I immediately told Fang Chuanzong to have his people spread out in the Nether Realm, not missing any clue within reach.

I was heavy-hearted.

As the sky just darkened, I took all needed things and drove straight to the Earth God's Temple.

The car stopped far away in the darkness; I sat in the car, staring toward the land temple, waiting silently.

For several hours in the first half of the night, there was no movement whatsoever around the land temple.

In the dead of night, aside from that fifteenth day, who would be so bored as to come here and wander around aimlessly?

At midnight, I opened the car door, one hand holding the Soul-guiding Lamp, the other clutching the small red-wood coffin, and strode toward the land temple.

Strangely, just after I had taken a few steps, a thin mist rose up around the land temple, enveloping it entirely; even a little farther away I could not see clearly what was inside.

I kept moving forward, and just before the fog was about to block my view, I stepped into it with one foot, and suddenly my vision cleared.

I saw that black qi swirled around inside the land temple, and even the statue of the Earth God seemed to be draped in a layer of black gauze.

The temperature dropped several degrees, feeling a bit chilly.

At that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from inside the land temple and grabbed my arm.

I was frightened and let out a cry; I was about to struggle when I recalled Yu Nian's words.

She said time was limited and told me to cooperate fully.

The next moment, I was pulled in by that hand.

I only felt myself being pulled through a strong repelling force, stumbling a few steps underfoot; just as I steadied myself, a strip-shaped item emitting Golden Light was shoved into my hand.

Following that, there was also a black hooded cloak that wrapped my whole body.

"Shopkeeper, follow me, don't look around, hurry up."

Only then did I realize that the guy who had pulled me in, likewise wrapped in a black cloak and holding a golden item in his hand, was… Lao San!

As it turned out, the person Yu Nian said would come to meet me was Lao San.

Lao San is tall and big-built, and he acts decisively.

After giving his instructions, he stepped one foot into the gate of Gui Shi.

I followed closely behind.

After crossing the gate of Gui Shi and looking at the scene before me, I was utterly stunned.

Even for a moment, I wondered if I had come to the wrong place.

The area before me, filled with swirling black qi, rampant vengeful spirits, and flashing lightning and thunder, was actually Gui Shi?!

Every time we came before, it was definitely not like this!

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

Lao San shouted at me sternly; I quickly gathered my thoughts, pulled the cloak tighter, and followed him timidly.

Pa!

A bolt of thunder rang out; lightning struck the ground ahead, sending up sparks like a multitude of burning swords. I saw with my own eyes a soul pierced by one of those flying 'swords,' and instantly its spirit scattered……
