After that, Li Cheng stood motionless beside the two, holding his gun like a stone pillar, protecting Madam Ning and the others.

Master Jiang and their young master are not here, for fear that the person behind the scenes will make a move.

His presence here can also prevent accidents from happening.

Inside the underworld.

Jiang Yuan looked around, and a sense of familiarity returned.

The surrounding air was filled with turbid air and clouds, obscuring the view. All that could be seen was a bright moon, conjured by magic, hanging high in the sky.

In the past, there was no moon in the underworld, and it was all dark and gloomy. There were wailing souls everywhere, or souls that had died at the hands of other souls. Even the lake in the Yellow Springs was turbid, black, and smelly, emitting foul air. Patches of spider lilies around it withered.

During the three years she took office, she never saw the red spider lilies bloom.

Later, she gradually made the underworld behave like the underworld, allowing the souls to live together peacefully and no longer find pleasure in eating souls. She punished vengeful ghosts or those who disobeyed orders, sending them to hell.

She rewarded and appointed those who made contributions.

There is no sun in the underworld, nor can a sun be created, so she used magic to conjure up a moon.

Throughout the year, the moon's light shines on every corner of the underworld, just like the real bright moon.

The red spider lilies gradually bloom, becoming more vibrant and abundant year by year.

She assumed they, like her, wanted to make the underworld a better place.

But unexpectedly, some people still harbored ulterior motives, wanting to turn the underworld back to what it used to be.

She absolutely will not allow it!

Jiang Yuan came to her senses and released a power that repelled the turbid air surrounding her.

Her black hair billowed as she coldly gazed at the ghosts who had just dragged her into the underworld.

Only a small door was opened, so all we could see were their outstretched hands.

After seeing their appearance, she thought they were ugly and resembled fierce ghosts.

Those ghosts were all rational; when they saw Jiang Yuan staring at them, they retreated in fear.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were icy cold as she raised her hand and grabbed at the void.

A sharp scream suddenly rang in my ears.

The ghosts not far away vanished in an instant, as if they had never been there.

The old man who had accompanied Jiang Yuan back to the underworld was filled with astonishment upon seeing this scene.

Where is Jiang Yuan weak?

She's even stronger than before!

He can open the gates of the underworld and also destroy the ghosts he carefully nurtured with one hand. Where is he weak?

The old man was thinking to himself, and struggled frantically to free himself from the white silk binding him.

Jiang Yuan glanced coldly at the bound old man and stepped closer.

Every time Jiang Yuan got a little closer, the old man's heart pounded violently, and he even found it difficult to breathe.

"Please forgive me, sir..." the old man said.

However, Jiang Yuan interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"I rather you were spouting those arrogant words just now, Day Tour." Jiang Yuan parted her thin lips slightly, looking down at the old man with disdain, her eyes reflecting his terrified expression.

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, she waved the hand holding the Yama's Pen, and the old man's face immediately peeled off and fell to the ground.

A strikingly handsome and familiar face came into Jiang Yuan's view.

Unlike the Night Wanderer, who appears gentle and refined, or the other underworld messengers, who are burly and strong, the Day Wanderer before her looks slender and petite, with fair and delicate skin, like a young girl.

In her eyes, although Riyu had experienced the fighting back then, he was a coward.

He's the kind of person who'd be terrified if a mouse just walked by.

Although Riyu was older than her, sometimes his appearance and personality made her feel like he was a younger brother who needed protection.

Unexpectedly...

He was actually on the Ghost King's side, a traitor who attempted to resurrect the Ghost King.

My previous weakness and timidity were all an act.

Disappointment clouded Jiang Yuan's eyes.

“I used real human skin, not illusion, how could you…” Riyou’s eyes were filled with surprise, and even his voice returned to its original tone, no longer hoarse.

He was afraid of being recognized, and he was especially wary of Jiang Yuan's eyes, so he didn't use illusion magic to change his face, but instead used someone else's face.

Even if she met Jiang Yuan and broke his spell, what her eyes could see was the life of the person whose face it was, not his life.

How did Jiang Yuan figure it out?

“Besides Night Wanderer and Grandpa Judge, only you have seen me open the Gates of the Underworld,” Jiang Yuan said, her voice as cold as the dead of winter.

“Night Wanderer’s magic is weak. Even if he sacrifices himself, he can’t open even the slightest crack in the Yellow Springs. Grandpa Judge is injured and recuperating, so it can’t be him.”

"If you eliminate them, then it's just you left."

“You saw me open the Gate of the Underworld before. The formation and movements you used to open the gate were exactly the same as when I opened it.”

Jiang Yuan spoke up.

If he hadn't used the formation, she would have suspected others but not him.

Surprisingly, the least likely person turned out to be the instigator.

She was very disappointed with the Japanese tour.

"You arranged for the person who shattered the lamp spirit, and you were also the one who caused the vengeful ghost to escape from the underworld."

“You also killed Yi Changsheng. You were afraid that his soul would contact me after death, confess everything to me, and expose you. So when Shouxin was chasing him, you took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and directly destroyed his soul, eliminating the future threat.”

"When the Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night, the wandering spirits suddenly riot, and that was also your doing. The purpose was not to let those wandering spirits run rampant in the human world, but to concentrate them in H City, to make them nourish the Ghost King, and to give the Ghost King the opportunity to come out of the lamp spirit."

Jiang Yuan said coldly.

It's not a question, it's a statement of certainty.

"However, before I performed the prayer dance, you had no idea about my identity in the real world, and you overlooked the fact that I live in H City."
