Chapter 227: Chapter 183: The Book of Life and Death, Master Xu Returns to Life!
Xu Yang naturally didn’t trust the words of the underworld soldier completely!
Although the Yin-Yang Path hasn’t resumed fully today, it’s not entirely impassable!
The facts that his grandfather’s soul entered the Underworld Palace, the path and gate he saw when he crossed over the souls of the dead himself, and everything that happened today are enough to prove it.
If he could come in, how could he not get out?
There must be a way!
There must be, or else what would happen to his five beautiful brides?
“Soldier bro…”
As Xu Yang was about to speak again, the underworld soldier interrupted, “Enough, don’t try to be friendly… Our city has imposed a curfew for hundreds of years. Although you’re a first-time offender, disciplinary action is still necessary. Take them away!”
With a wave of his hand, the other underworld soldiers stepped forward, wielding their weapons and escorting the old soldier and Xu Yang forward.
Xu Yang wanted to resist, but the old soldier whispered, “Young man, don’t fight… Fengdu City is the territory of Emperor Beiyin of Fcngdu. He rules the underworld and controls the gods and ghosts of the six realms of Fengdu. Even the Ghost Emperors of five directions and the Ten Halls of Yama are under him. If you fight here, even if you still have a mortal lifespan left, it will be forfeited!”
Xu Yang could only stop.
He looked at the faint ghostly shadows in the gray mist on the streets and couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t you say curfew? Why did you only arrest us and not them?”
A group of underworld soldiers looked at Xu Yang with a strange expression.
As they entered the gray mist, Xu Yang realized that those ghostly shadows were not real. They seemed to be… projections, images, or illusions.
Visible but untouchable.
Passing through the gray mist, one would directly pass through those ghostly shadows.
Xu Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Brother soldier, what is this?”
The underworld soldier replied, “Since you still have a mortal lifespan, you shouldn’t ask about the affairs of the underworld.”
Shortly after, Xu Yang and the old soldier were escorted into a prison cell.
Xu Yang grabbed the prison bars and shouted, “Come here, I want to see the person in charge… My mortal lifespan isn’t over, why am I locked up here?”
“Shut up!”
The jailer scolded, “Everyone who comes here claims their mortal lifespan isn’t over, but if it’s not over, how did you get here?”
Xu Yang slumped on the ground, the light in his eyes gone.
He didn’t know how much time had passed…
Finally, two jailers came to the cell door, and they opened it and asked, “Are you Xu Yang?”
“Get up, come with us. Someone wants to see you!”
Meanwhile.
In the mortal world.
It was now 3 pm, and Xu Yang was lying motionless on the bed in the funeral shop’s second-floor bedroom, as if dead!
By the bedside were Liu Shishi and the other four women.
Since they couldn’t contact Xu Yang today, they came to the store to check, only to find this scene!
The five women were initially panicked, but under Liu Shishi’s leadership, they quickly calmed down. She examined Xu Yang’s body and concluded, “Xu Yang isn’t really dead, but he has lost his soul and is in a state of suspended animation!”
“Xu Yang is in the mid-phase of the Entering Dao Realm. With his level of cultivation, his soul should be much stronger than ordinary people, so how did he lose it?”
Yun Mengxi furrowed her brows.
Ordinary people often lose their souls.
Some people become dull and unresponsive after being shocked, others go mad, and some even fall into a coma and never wake up. These are all manifestations of “losing one’s soul.”
At this time, one needs someone who can perform the Summoning the Soul ritual.
“I know a secret technique that can sense his soul. Sisters, don’t panic. Xu Yang has great luck and won’t die this easily. We won’t be widowed!”
Bloodlight shimmered deep in Yun Mengxi’s pupils.
Her cute fangs peeked out from her lips as she placed her right palm on Xu Yang’s chest.
A powerful evil aura erupted from her body. Then, her eyes flickered and showed everything Xu Yang had “seen” earlier.
The murky sky and earth.
An endless barren forest.
The towering city, and the three big characters “Fengdu City” on the gates.
She “saw” Xu Yang being taken into Fengdu City, escorted into the prison by a group of underworld soldiers, witnessed Xu Yang shouting and yelling as he tried to leave, and finally collapsing to the ground in despair.
The scene shifted.
Xu Yang was taken to a long, narrow corridor, which led to a dimly lit hall. Yun Mengxi’s eyes flashed brilliantly as she tried to discern the details of the hall, but suddenly, a mighty power exploded…
“How audacious, demon! How dare you spy on this seat?”
Boom!
Yun Mengxi reeled back, as if struck by lightning!
The blood light in her eyes and the reflected images disappeared. As the evil aura surrounding her dissipated, her face turned pale, and she gasped, “So strong… Xu Yang’s soul has fallen into the Underworld Palace and is now inside Fengdu City!”
“What?”
“Xu Yang entered the underworld?”
“How could this happen?”
“Could it be that his mortal lifespan has been depleted?”
The faces of Yue Yuluo, Yue Qiluo, and Yang Yin became even more alarmed. Even Liu Shishi, who had always been calm, had a flash of viciousness in her eyes as she clenched her teeth and said, “How could Xu Yang’s mortal lifespan be over at his age?”
“No!”
She couldn’t accept this outcome. Immediately, a powerful, sinister aura erupted from her body. Behind her, a bloody river emerged, and she solemnly declared, “I’ll enter the underworld and bring Xu Yang back!”
“Don’t be impulsive!”
Yun Mengxi hurriedly stopped Liu Shishi and said, “Things haven’t reached that point yet. I saw Xu Yang going to meet a big shot in Fengdu City.. Since he still has a mortal lifespan left, he may still come back!”
