The silver ring shrank into a black dot of no size and thickness in the air, and then expanded again to its original shape. Yama's head had already fallen from the black body.

There is no blood, no temperature, as if the figure floating in front of you is just a clay figurine and has never had life.

The King of Fengdu in mid-air lightly hooked his fingertips, and three rings flew lightly back into his palm, and then were put into the rotating silver sphere. All six silver rings returned and rotated around in a mysterious trajectory.

He turned his palm over, and the silver sphere disappeared.

The Emperor of Fengdu slowly stood up from the throne of gods, stepped from the air to the ground of the palace, his black imperial robe swaying gently with his footsteps, and walked towards the center of the hall.

His eyes swept over Lin Qiye and the other three calmly, no joy or anger could be seen between his brows, as if all emotions had left him, leaving only a faint imperial pressure and absolute calmness.

Suddenly, he stopped in the middle of the hall.

The Emperor of Fengdu seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head to look in the direction of the palace door, slowly turned around, and respectfully bowed to the nothingness in front of him.

"Head of the Underworld, I greet Yuanshi Tianzun."

Lin Qiye and the others were startled when they saw this, and at the same time turned to look at the empty palace gate.

In the void, a Taoist figure wearing a coarse Taoist robe slowly emerged, with his hair tied up and his eyes shining like stars. He put his hands behind his back, walked forward slowly, and spoke with a smile:

"I don't know if I should call you the Emperor of Fengdu, or... Li Deyang?"

The body of the Emperor of Fengdu trembled slightly, and he said with an unchanged expression: "The night watchman Li Deyang is dead. I am the head of the underworld under the Taoist seat, the Emperor of Fengdu of the North Yin."

The Taoist walked up to him, stared at the Emperor of Fengdu with his deep eyes for a moment, chuckled, and said with a flick of his sleeves:

"Whether it's the King of Fengdu or Li Deyang, anyway... welcome back."

The Emperor of Fengdu bowed deeply, then raised his body, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Yuanshi Tianzun came here, but is he worried that I can't defeat the Yama projection?"

The Taoist was startled, and smiled helplessly: "I haven't seen you for a hundred years, and you seem to be more straightforward than before... That's right, I thought that you had just awakened your memory, and even if you inherited some of the power of the original Fengdu Emperor, you might not be able to defeat the Outer God. Now it seems that I thought too much."

"Fortunately, the Six Paths of Reincarnation are here, so we are slightly better." The King of Fengdu said truthfully.

"It is not a problem for Daxia's second-ranked divine weapon to suppress a mere projection of an outer god. What I didn't expect is that you could use it right after waking up from reincarnation... It seems that your reincarnation body is also gifted."

The Taoist smiled, and his gaze shifted away from Emperor Fengdu, and finally fell on Lin Qiye and the other three standing aside.

Seeing the Taoist's gaze sweeping over, the four of them instantly became nervous. From the words of Fengdu Emperor, it was not difficult to know that the seemingly ordinary Taoist in front of them was actually one of the three great Taoist celestial masters. The legendary Yuanshi Tianzun stood in front of them, so they were naturally a little at a loss.

Lin Qiye had met Yuanshi Tianzun when he woke up from his own world. Of course, he didn't know the other party's identity at that time. Now seeing this Taoist again, he was naturally shocked.

"Night watchman Lin Qiye pays homage to Yuanshi Tianzun." Lin Qiye took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

The same was true for the three people behind him.

The Taoist looked at Lin Qiye in front of him, his lips curled up slightly, "You are much better than when I saw you before... You have already embarked on this path."

He stretched out his hand, gently patted Lin Qiye on the head, and then withdrew his palm into his sleeve.

"Keep going. There are people waiting for you in heaven...waiting for the day when they will fight alongside you."

When Lin Qiye heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Heaven?

Is someone waiting for him?

Who could that be?

When Lin Qiye was hesitating whether to continue asking, the Taoist's eyes swept over the other three people.

Suddenly, his figure paused slightly.

He looked at Baili Pangpang, who was bowing with his upper body almost bent to the ground, his brows slightly frowned, surprise first appeared in his eyes, then confusion, and finally, as if he had figured something out, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Little Fatty, raise your head." The Taoist opened his mouth and said calmly.

Baili Pangpang's body trembled, and he stood up straight. His eyes met the Taoist's deep eyes. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and excitement appeared in his eyes. He asked tentatively:

"Tianzun...are you going to accept me as your apprentice? I've always felt that I have quite good talent..."

"..." The Taoist fell silent.

He looked at Baili Pangpang carefully again for a moment, shook his head, "No, I will not accept you as my apprentice, just like that kid, you have your own path..."

Baili Pangpang sighed regretfully.

"However, I can give you something." The Taoist suddenly spoke, he reached into his wide sleeves and took out a jade ruyi.

He flicked his finger lightly, and the jade ruyi turned into a white light, which went straight into Baili Pangpang's belly and disappeared without a trace.

Baili Pangpang looked down at his stomach in astonishment, and reached out to touch it, but it didn't seem to have changed. As if he had thought of something, he raised his head and said with a hint of tears:

"Tianzun...you, you won't give me a child, right? I'm still young, I...my dad will beat me to death!"

Hearing this, the Taoist's mouth twitched slightly, and he directly ignored Baili Pangpang's words. He flicked his sleeves lightly, and Baili Pangpang's crying stopped abruptly, as if blocking his voice.

His eyes swept across Cao Yuan and Jia Lan, pausing for a moment on their faces and nodding slightly.

"The affairs of Fengdu must not be spread to outsiders."

Hearing this, several people were stunned at first, and then nodded heavily.

The Taoist raised his sleeves again, and just as he was about to swing them, the Emperor of Fengdu behind him suddenly spoke:

"Wait a minute, my Lord!"

The Taoist's movements stopped in mid-air.

The Emperor of Fengdu walked up to Lin Qiye, and a trace of confusion rarely appeared on his majestic and calm face. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Lin Qiye, when you go back to see Tingting and my father this time, remember to tell them...I am dead." Fengdu Emperor paused and added, "I died in battle."

Lin Qiye was stunned. He stared at the familiar face of Emperor Fengdu. After a long time, he slowly nodded.

"Also, tell Chen Han that after I'm gone, Team 332 will be handed over to him... Let him use the collection in my office cabinet for me."

"I understand. Don't worry."

The King of Fengdu nodded slightly and turned to look at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist stretched out his sleeves and waved them again. A white light flashed and the figures of Lin Qiye and the other four disappeared without a trace.

In the empty hall, only the Taoist priest and the Emperor of Fengdu were left.

The Taoist turned around and looked at the silent King Fengdu, and sighed helplessly, "You, since you care about them, why don't you go back and say goodbye to them?"

The King of Fengdu raised his head, looked through the open palace gate at the endless ghost town, and a bitter look appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"I'm afraid that after saying goodbye... I won't be able to come back."
