"Something has happened in the capital, and we would like to ask for your assistance!" Old Wang shook Zhang Tianle's hand and got straight to the point.
"A peculiar murder case has occurred in the capital. Within just one hour, an entire residential area was shrouded in mist, with occasional ghostly wails and howls. The mist is also showing signs of spreading outwards. We immediately dispatched people to investigate the mist."
Anyone who comes into contact with the mist will suffer anything from, at best, mental breakdown, and at worst, death—a gruesome one at that.
As Mr. Wang finished speaking, his assistant stepped forward and handed Zhang Tianle a tablet.
The person whose death was described as horribly mutilated by Old Wang appeared on the tablet.
Some people, resembling those burned on fire, ended up as charred remains.
Some of them, however, have animal hair growing on their bodies.
Some, however, seemed to have had their bones swallowed up, turning into a pile of meat patties.
...
There were all sorts of ways people died.
And those who are alive are also humming softly, experiencing all sorts of emotions, from joy and anger to sorrow and happiness.
"We also sent some masters from the Metaphysics Association, including direct disciples of Taoism. But they have all disappeared. That's all we know so far."
Old Wang also explained the seriousness of the matter to Zhang Tianle.
Whether Zhang Tianle goes or not is his business, but he needs to explain the pros and cons clearly.
"master."
Just then, Fang Tianci rubbed his hands together and said, "I want to beg you to help me. My crush is in there too."
Zhang Tianle: "..."
Old Wang: "..." This was something he hadn't expected there to be this connection.
Zhang Tianle did some calculations.
His expression turned serious.
"I'll go and take care of this first. You guys go back."
He stood up, not bothering with formalities, took out the Wheel King's token, infused it with spiritual energy, and shook it.
The next moment, a bronze door appeared in front of him.
King Yama looked at Zhang Tianle with a mournful expression.
Although he was happy to do things for this man with whom he had a close relationship, wasn't this happening too frequently?
He had barely returned to the Wheel of Reincarnation Palace when Zhang Tianle came looking for him again.
"King of the Wheel, take a look at this." Zhang Tianle handed the tablet in his hand to King of the Wheel and swiped it a couple of times.
After reading the contents of the tablet, King Yama muttered, "These people really love to court death. Fine, they'll court death, but they drag innocent bystanders into it. Let's go! I'll take you there."
If it's any slower, that stuff will spread and cause even more innocent people to suffer.
“Okay.” Zhang Tianle followed the Wheel King into the Gates of Hell and rushed to the scene of the incident through the underworld.
Old Wang watched as Zhang Tianle shook his hand, and then a gust of cold wind came. He then muttered a few words into the air while holding his tablet computer, and the next moment, he stepped into the air.
He was completely stunned.
At first, he thought Zhang Tianle was acting crazy, but the moment Zhang Tianle disappeared, he knew that this person was really very capable.
They might have just been communicating with some mysterious being.
"Old Wang, let's go back first," Fang Tianci said, asking Old Wang for permission.
"Your master, he just..." Old Wang pointed to the spot where Zhang Tianle had just disappeared.
Having witnessed everything, Fang Tianci said "Oh": "My master was just relaying what happened in the capital to King Zhuanlun, and then my master used the underworld's Yin Road to go to the capital to deal with the matter."
Old Wang's eyes widened slightly.
King of the Wheels?
Aren't those the legendary gods of the underworld?
Is Zhang Tianle able to have a direct dialogue with such an existence?
That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?
Is Fang Tianci trying to glorify his master?
He couldn't help but glance at his assistant.
His assistant is quite capable.
At that moment, his assistant stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the spot where Zhang Tianle had just disappeared.
His expression was as if he had witnessed something incredible.
Old Wang coughed.
The assistant snapped out of his daze and whispered the details of what had happened in Old Wang's ear.
After hearing this, Old Wang's cheeks twitched involuntarily twice.
He initially thought it was nonsense, but it turned out to be true.
Moreover, his assistant said that the Wheel King treated Zhang Tianle with great respect.
Normally, even if a Taoist priest were to invite a deity of the level of Yama, the king of hell, the priest would treat him with utmost respect. But Zhang Tianle's case was the opposite.
This indirectly leads to the conclusion that Zhang Tianle is very capable.
Old Master Wang stood up: "In that case, let's set off immediately and return to the capital. I'll call the capital and tell them that Master Zhang has gone there."
"Yes." Old Wang's assistant took out his phone and told the people in Beijing about the matter.
Because the neighborhood was shrouded in fog, the authorities immediately dispatched troops to garrison the area and used various pretexts to send the residents away.
After all, they will do everything in their power to protect and safeguard ordinary people's lives if something threatens their safety.
After making the call, Mr. Wang's assistant immediately began arranging his return to Beijing.
While Wang Lao and the others were arranging these things, Zhang Tianle and Zhuanlun Wang had already arrived at the Shuirun residential area in Beijing.
As for what Old Wang was worried about—that they would be stopped—there's really no need to worry at all.
The Wheel King set up the Gate of Hell directly inside the Shuirun residential area.
Having just escaped death, King Yama sensed the mist.
He narrowed his eyes: "There's no aura of annihilation in this fog; instead, it's teeming with demonic energy. And this stench..."
King Yama shook his head: "I could smell it from far away."
"Weren't these things sealed away back then? How come they've come out again?" Zhang Tianle asked, narrowing his eyes.
"So, humans are always masters of courting death! Back then, that being sealed away these demons and monsters, but it was a one-sided affair. After that battle, all the messy things in the country were purged."
It also enables humanity to rely on its own strength to stand up and not to cause trouble through these underhanded means.
It also saves a lot of trouble, but human desires can never be satisfied, and the original level of sealing could not possibly have any flaws.
Now it seems...
King Yama gave a cold laugh and said no more.
"Judging from this situation, this is probably one of the sealing points," Zhang Tianle said, looking at the mist in front of him.
"Hmm." King Yama nodded. "Since the problem here doesn't stem from the cycle of reincarnation, I won't get involved. I believe you can handle things here on your own. I'll head back to the Yama Palace now."
After saying goodbye to Zhang Tianle, King Yama left.
The underworld and the demon realm have never gotten along.
Now that the demon realm is about to be unleashed, they will try their best to cause them as much trouble as possible.
The problem is that the underworld's current capabilities are limited, so it's best to avoid making too many enemies.
