Wan Jiao's memories of Ji Family Village are very vague, and a large part of them are missing. What exactly happened back then is known only to heaven, earth, and Ye Jin, who was directly involved.
Unfortunately, he died.
Thinking of Ye Jin's death, Wan Jiao stared at Feng Nanshan's handsome face, "Ancestor, I still can't understand why the Great Venerable Gu Yan, who should have been asleep, suddenly broke through the seal?"
"And the ghost servants of Ji Family Village, they were definitely not the work of Grand Venerable Gu Yan. The person behind those ghost servants..."
"Rong Xuan." Feng Nanshan uttered those two words as if possessed.
Wan Jiao was greatly surprised upon hearing this. "Ancestor, Ghost Servants cannot become powerful overnight. Although Rong Xuan has committed many evils, I can see that she is only after longevity and beauty. She may not really have such scheming intentions."
“I know her better than you do,” Feng Nanshan said confidently. “Once greed and desire take hold, both humans and gods will submit to evil and crooked paths.”
Wan Jiao agreed with Feng Nanshan's words.
The ancient gods, Rong Xuan, and all the evil cultivators in the world are like this.
"Ancestor, who exactly is Ye Jin? How could he have the ability to perish together with the Great Venerable Gu Yan, and how did he tamper with everyone's memories?"
Feng Nanshan wasn't sure about Ye Jin's identity either. However, he did have some guesses. Meeting Wan Jiao's gaze, he said uncertainly, "That night in Ji Family Village, although I was hiding in the ancestral tablet, I truly sensed the appearance of the ancient heavenly book."
"Ancient Heavenly Book?" Wan Jiao repeated these four words incredulously, then hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, do you suspect that Ye Jin is the owner of the Heavenly Book?"
Feng Nanshan nodded: "There are no gods in the world today. Apart from the owner of the Heavenly Book, I can't think of anyone else who could perish together with the 'fully-powered' Great Venerable Gu Yan."
…
Wan Jiao woke up from the Prajna Secret Realm in her dream, and four words echoed in her mind over and over again: Netherworld God Lord.
She remembered; in the ancient texts of metaphysics she had read as a child, it was recorded that the owner of the ancient celestial book was the God of the Underworld. He was the first god in the world, hailed as the ancestor of gods…
If Ye Jin is truly the reincarnation of the God of the Underworld, then Xiao Le Jin's statement that "he will definitely come back" is definitely not just to comfort her.
Maybe... a miracle really will happen?
Having made up her mind, Wan Jiao slightly parted her red lips and called out, "Xiao Jin."
After a brief blast of the suona horn, Xiao Lejin appeared beside Wan Jiao, calling out, "Auntie~"
Wan Jiao: "How is Xiao Yunmu doing?"
Xiao Lejin: "She's doing well. She'll be able to come out of the suona in about a month."
Although Xiao Yunmu is a half-demon, she is, after all, Yunluo's only child, and Wanjiao is determined to find her a good home. Hearing from Xiaolejin that Xiao Yunmu would be out in a month or so, Wanjiao didn't say much and immediately formed a hand seal to open the Ghost Gate.
The Black and White Impermanence arrived extremely quickly, and upon seeing that Wan Jiao was unharmed, they both breathed a sigh of relief. However, Wan Jiao's attention was not on this, so she didn't notice.
"Master Wan."
"My lords, I have a favor to ask of you, if that's alright..."
Before she could finish speaking, both Black and White Impermanence responded, "Master Wan, please speak freely."
After a moment's hesitation, Wan Jiao recounted Xiao Yunmu's situation to the Black and White Impermanence. After listening, the two—no, the two ghosts—exchanged glances for a couple of seconds before unanimously promising to find Xiao Yunmu an excellent family.
Wan Jiao had thought it would take some persuasion, but to her surprise, it went so smoothly. She quickly thanked the Black and White Impermanence.
"Master Wan, you're too kind. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
Wan Jiao bowed respectfully to the Black and White Impermanence, saying, "Please take care, my lords."
The long road to the underworld.
The Black and White Impermanence walked side by side.
Bai Wuchang said, "Old Fan, the God Lord sacrificed himself to save my master, but why isn't she sad at all?"
Black Impermanence retorted, "Xie Bi'an, are you senile? My lord's affections have long since..."
Halfway through his sentence, Black Impermanence realized something, quickly raised his hand to cover his face, and said with deep remorse, "Forgive me, forgive me, I almost revealed my master's secret."
Upon hearing the words "love threads," Bai Wuchang instantly realized everything.
He coughed twice, as if he hadn't heard what Black Impermanence had just said, and changed the subject on his own, "Old Fan, the day that Great Venerable Gu Yan suddenly appeared in the world and confronted our Lord in Ji Family Village, those old things in the Underworld have become suspicious and have submitted many memorials requesting to see our Lord. What should we do?"
Black Impermanence's eyes darkened, and after a long while, he said as if he had made up his mind, "Old Xie, contact Lord Li Wen."
Upon hearing the words "Lord Li Wen," Bai Wuchang immediately said, "No, this is very inappropriate."
Black Impermanence: "Apart from Lord Li Wen, who in the entire Underworld can deal with those old fogies?"
Even though Bai Wuchang thought Hei Wuchang's words made sense, he still disagreed. He said heavily, "Old Fan, don't you understand Lord Li Wen's feelings for our master? If he finds out that our master has entered reincarnation without permission, wouldn't he turn the entire underworld upside down? When our master returns to his position and holds us accountable, neither of us will escape..."
Black Impermanence punched White Impermanence hard. "Short-sighted. Xie Bi'an, things have come to this, you don't still think that you and I can keep the matter of the King of the Underworld's reincarnation a secret, do you?"
White Impermanence knew that Black Impermanence had a point, but...
"Old Fan, Lord Wen is still in seclusion, perhaps we can still stall for time..."
Before Bai Wuchang could finish speaking, a man in a black robe, exuding an air of nobility, descended from the sky.
Where did Ling'er go?
If this man isn't Lord Li Wen, whom the Black and White Impermanence mentioned, then who is he?
Black and White Impermanence never dreamed they would run into Li Wen on the boundless road to the underworld.
The two ghosts were so embarrassed they didn't know where to look.
My mind was filled with questions.
The Black and White Impermanence remained silent, which enraged Li Wen. He threw his folding fan, and a cage specifically designed to subdue ghost messengers appeared out of thin air, trapping the Black and White Impermanence inside.
"I'll ask one more time, where is Ling'er?"
