You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"How dare you, a mere wild god, accept the incense offerings from the people?"

Xuan Shui Zhenjun stared at the statue, sneered, and said, "You wicked creature, why don't you show yourself? Now that I've encountered you, I will expose your charlatanry and prevent you from deceiving the people any longer!"

Inside the main hall, people were still offering incense and praying. Upon hearing this, they all looked over, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion...

Who is this person?

Is this how it's used?
Some worshippers, their faces contorted with anger, stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you yell at the mountain god?"

Song Jingxuan also noticed the commotion and quickly rushed over.

She looked at Xuan Shui Zhenjun and said in a deep voice, "Sir, if you are here to offer incense and pray, our mountain god temple welcomes you... but if you are here to cause trouble, please leave, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

"You're welcome?"

Xuan Shui Zhenjun was taken aback, then laughed and said, "It's one thing for a female ghost to have an affair with a wild god, deceive the people and cheat them out of incense offerings, but how dare you shout in front of me?"

boom!
A powerful aura erupted from Xuan Shui Zhenjun, and without any visible movement, a giant hand materialized in front of him and grabbed at Song Jingxuan!

He was a Taoist True Lord who had long since comprehended the realms of soul differentiation and soul manipulation. In an instant, his soul power erupted and directly transformed into a grappling technique!
"A Taoist True Lord!"

Song Jingxuan's expression changed drastically. As she retreated, a dark light flew out from her hand. It was the "Soul-Locking Chain" that Chen Yang had bestowed upon her after appointing her as a ghost messenger!
The Soul-Locking Chain is a standard magical artifact used by underworld officials and ghosts, and it is equally effective against ghosts and spirits!

Furthermore, Xuan Shui Zhenjun's attack was so casual that his large hand was shattered before it even touched Song Jingxuan. With a flash of dark light, the Soul-Locking Chain flew back and landed in Song Jingxuan's hand.

Xuan Shui Zhenjun's eyes flickered slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Soul-Locking Chains?"

A seemingly unreal thought suddenly popped into his mind!

This female ghost...

Could it be a messenger from the underworld?
impossible!
The path between Yin and Yang has been severed for a thousand years, so how can there be underworld messengers in the human world?

If she really is a messenger from the underworld, then... could this mountain god of Helan Mountain really be a deity who has been granted an imperial decree?

Without giving him any time to think, Song Jingxuan's gaze sharpened, and she said coldly, "You stinking Taoist priest, how dare you come to the Mountain God Temple to cause trouble?"

"Do you know who's protecting this place?"

Xuan Shui Zhenjun asked instinctively, "Who?"

"The backer of this place is Luo Feng, the Demon-Subduing Yin Marshal, who is highly regarded by the Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu and Lord Cui. He holds the Yin Marshal Tiger Tally, monitors the human world, maintains the order of Yin and Yang, and has the authority to confer titles on ghosts and gods. My grandmother and the mountain god were both conferred titles by Luo Feng, the Demon-Subduing Yin Marshal!"

Song Jingxuan was extremely fierce: "Who gave you the audacity to make a move at the Helan Mountain God Temple? Are you trying to challenge the authority of the Underworld?"

It's a long story, but in reality, it only took a dozen seconds from when Xuan Shui Zhenjun walked into the main hall and made his wild remarks to when he exchanged a single move with Song Jingxuan!

Xuan Shui Zhenjun was stunned by Song Jingxuan's words and was greatly shocked!

Luo Feng, the Demon-Subduing Yin General?

Is there really a Yin Marshal in the human world?
Could it be... that the path between the living and the dead has been opened?

next moment……

hum!
A dazzling divine light suddenly emanated from the statue of the mountain god!

However, Gu Jinghui sensed the change in the temple from the New City Gymnasium and sent down a wisp of divine thought!
As divine light emanated from the statue, the towering statue suddenly opened its eyes, its divine light shooting out several feet long. It spoke in human language, shouting, "True Lord Xuan Shui, how dare you!"

"This this……"

Xuan Shui Zhenjun was dumbfounded. He cursed Huang Zhenren's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. Damn it... Huang Zhenren, that bastard, came to Xixia Prefecture in person, and he didn't even find out such important information.

In fact, True Lord Xuanshui truly wronged True Man Huang.

When Master Huang returned to Qingwei Taoist Temple, he told the whole story of what happened at the hotel that day without any concealment. Naturally, he also mentioned the mountain god, the hanged ghost messenger, and Luo Feng the demon-subduing commander!

However, the experts of the Qingwei Sect had a preconceived notion that the path between Yin and Yang was not yet open, so there could never be "underworld officials" or ghosts in the human world!

on the other hand……

This is because almost all branches of the Qingwei School are people who have returned from overseas and have no roots in China, so it is naturally difficult for them to get useful information!

"The mountain god has appeared!"

"The mountain god has appeared..."

"Mountain God, please, save me..."

When the worshippers in the main hall saw the statue speak, they all knelt down. One disabled young man even burst into tears. He had been to many well-known hospitals and consulted many traditional Chinese medicine doctors across the country, but his condition had not improved.
Having lost hope in medicine, he was taken by his two brothers to Helan Mountain today to worship the mountain god, hoping to find hope for a cure through metaphysics!

The mountain god statue waved its hand—

Wow!

A beam of divine light descended, enveloping the disabled young man.

When the divine light dissipated, the young man felt that his legs had regained feeling, and he stood up unsteadily.

"Thank you, mountain god! Thank you, mountain god!"

He wanted to kneel down and kowtow in gratitude, but then he saw the mountain god statue wave its hand again, and a beam of divine light flew out, carrying all the worshippers in the hall to the outside!

hum!
Gu Jinghui's power descended fully from within the statue. He stepped out of the statue, holding the "Mountain-Suppressing Seal," and coldly said, "True Lord Xuanshui, why did you cause such a disturbance in my temple?"

"Why attack the temple keeper of this god?"

"Give me an explanation!"

In that instant, the power of the entire Helan Mountain was mobilized and bestowed upon Gu Jinghui. His aura surged wildly, and with the flourishing incense offerings during this period, his divine power instantly became as vast as an ocean!
His imposing presence caused Xuan Shui Zhenjun to break out in a sweat.

This is the real mountain god!
Xuan Shui Zhenjun's pupils contracted sharply. That vast divine power was mighty and unrestrained, without a trace of evil spirits or malevolent forces!

He remembered Huang Zhenren's words and quickly bowed, saying, "Xuan Shui of the Qingwei Sect pays respects to the Mountain God... Mountain God, please don't be angry. This is all a misunderstanding. I heard that the Mountain God once taught Wang Xuan the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method]. You must have been a disciple of my Qingwei Sect. According to seniority, perhaps I should call you senior!"

"Is it?"

Gu Jinghui coldly replied, "Indeed, I cultivated the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method] during my lifetime."

Master Xuanshui, starting with the question of seniority, quickly asked, "I wonder which patriarch of my Qingwei Sect the Mountain God studied under?"

Gu Jinghui: "Chen Huaiyi".

"Chen Huaiyi?" Xuan Shui Zhenjun racked his brains but could not recall that the Qingwei Sect had ever produced such a powerful figure.

Seeing his expression, Gu Jinghui did not hide anything and told him the truth: "My master has long since passed away and now works in the Underworld Law Department as a Soul Collector. Lord Cui intends to bestow upon him the title of Underworld God of Wealth, and a temple to the God of Wealth has already been built in the human world."

Yin Caishen (God of Wealth)?
Does such a divine position exist in the underworld?
Xuan Shui Zhenjun couldn't remember who "Chen Huaiyi" was, but that didn't stop him from trying to establish a connection with Gu Jinghui. He made up a story: "So you are a disciple of Patriarch Huaiyi. Senior Mountain God, we've really messed up the Dragon King Temple."

puff!
Chen Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xuan Shui Zhenjun's expression changed drastically. He looked to his side and exclaimed, "Who?"

hum!
Chen Yang materialized and walked out, laughing, "I never expected my father to become the founder of the Qingwei Sect... It's not surprising, since I am a disciple of the Qingwei Sect Master, making me a third-generation disciple of the Qingwei Sect. My father certainly deserves the title of founder of the Qingwei Sect."

"You...who are you?"

Xuan Shui Zhenjun's pupils contracted sharply again. He stared intently at Chen Yang, and the name that Huang Zhenren had mentioned came to mind—Chen Shuai!
Song Jingxuan was very sensible. She brought over a chair, bowed, and said, "Commander Chen, please sit down."

Chen Yang sat down with an air of grandeur, looked at Xuan Shui Zhenjun, and said with a faint smile: "My name is Chen Yang, I am the Demon Subduer of Luofeng, and I am valued by Lord Cui and the Great Emperor of Fengdu Beiyin to oversee the human world... At the same time, I am also the successor of the Qingwei Sect Master, a third-generation disciple of the Qingwei Sect, representing the orthodox Qingwei lineage!"

"........."

Xuan Shui Zhenjun was completely numb!
Luo Feng, the Demon-Subduing Yin General?

It turns out that "Chen Shuai" is not a name, but a title of respect!
His mind raced as he processed this news, which was hard for him to accept. He asked cautiously, "Commander Chen, you said you are a descendant of Ancestor Li Shaowei, but as far as I know, Ancestor Li Shaowei has never accepted any disciples."

Is the leader of the Qingwei Cult named Li Shaowei?
Chen Yang said, "The Qingwei Sect Leader once swept away the evil spirits and ghosts in the Northwest, and sealed and suppressed many of them in a ghost realm. It was at that time that she left behind a scroll of the Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Law in the Northwest."

"This secret technique, after many twists and turns, eventually ended up in my father's hands. Although my father had also practiced the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method], he didn't achieve much, so he passed it on to me... So, do you think I'm considered a successor of the Qingwei Sect Master?"

It's... my ass!
How could this be connected?
If that's the case, then everyone who cultivates the "Qingwei Yuanjiang Dafa" becomes a disciple of the Qingwei Ancestor?
But the situation was pressing, and at this time, how could True Lord Xuan Shui dare to say no?
He dared not say it...

Chen Yang pressed on, "Why aren't you answering my question?"

"Could I be considered a successor of the Qingwei Sect Master? Could I possibly represent the authentic Qingwei lineage?"

A terrifying aura emanated from Chen Yang, giving Xuan Shui Zhenjun the feeling that he would instantly perish if he dared to utter a single word of dissent. This was a feeling that Xuan Shui Zhenjun, who had spent his childhood in the chaotic region of Southeast Asia…

They have their own bottom line!

However, this bottom line is relatively flexible.

He quickly said, "After catching ghosts and subduing demons in the Northwest, Ancestor Li Shaowei left behind her legacy. She must have wanted to choose a suitable successor for herself. Now that her legacy has been obtained by you, Commander Chen, you are naturally considered the successor of the Qingwei Sect Master!"

"Grandmaster Li Shaowei was the founding disciple of our sect, and you, Commander Chen, are also a disciple of Grandmaster Li Shaowei, making you the third-generation grandmaster of our Qingwei Sect!"

"Nowadays, you are the most senior member of the Qingwei School, so you can naturally represent the true lineage of Qingwei."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

He turned to Song Jingxuan and asked, "Did you take the picture?"

Song Jingxuan, holding a tri-fold phone, nodded and said, "Chen Shuai, take pictures of everything."

Chen Yang: "Very good. Send this video to He Wanzhong and let him announce it to the world, to all my fellow martial arts practitioners, that I, Chen, am the true successor of the Qingwei lineage!"

Song Jingxuan: "Don't worry, Chen Shuai, I've already sent it."

"........."

Xuan Shui Zhenjun's eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly said, "No... Commander Chen, you absolutely mustn't!"

"Ok?"

Chen Yang's eyes turned cold as he said, "Why not? Could it be that what you just said was against your conscience? You don't acknowledge that I am a true descendant of the Qingwei lineage?"

Zheng!
A blood-patterned flying sword appeared above Chen Yang's head.

Xuan Shui Zhenjun felt a chill between his brows and said, “Commander Chen, that’s not what I meant… It’s just that the Qingwei Sect still has two patriarchs, one Chiyang Zhenjun and twelve True Men. They consider themselves Qingwei Sect’s founders and plan to hold the founding ceremony on September 8. If this video gets out now, I’m afraid those two patriarchs will hate me to the bone and want to get rid of me as soon as possible.”

"certainly……"

“I am but a lowly commoner, and my death is no big deal. But those two patriarchs will surely target you, Commander Chen, in order to maintain their status as the orthodox Qingwei Sect. How can I disregard your safety?”

Chen Yang: "..."

Good guy!
Fortunately, True Lord Xuan Shui cultivated Taoism; if he had entered officialdom, what would have happened?
Chen Yang: "What kind of strength do those two patriarchs possess that they dare to attack me?"

Xuan Shui Zhenjun said, "Those two patriarchs were both ghost immortals. They survived a great calamity back then, and some of their thoughts were preserved in slumber. Now, they have been reborn through possession, and their cultivation has returned to its peak."

Chen Yang: "Have you survived the tribulation?"

True Lord Xuan Shui: "No, that's not true... The soul is Yin, and it is extremely difficult to fly into the thundercloud with one's own thoughts to receive the baptism of thunder. Since ancient times, many ghost immortals have been stuck at this step, lacking the foundation and courage to overcome the tribulation of thunder."

Chen Yang said indifferently, "They're just two pieces of trash who haven't even survived the tribulation of lightning. They're not qualified to threaten my safety... Alright, Song Jingxuan, see them out!"

Song Jingxuan made a "please" gesture and said, "True Lord Xuan Shui, please!"

Left with no other choice, True Lord Xuan Shui had to leave the main hall.

He walked out of the mountain god temple, came to the foot of Helan Mountain, hailed a car and headed straight for Hedong Airport!

Upon arriving at the airport, he received the return ticket that his disciple had booked for him in advance. However, at the last minute before boarding, True Lord Xuanshui hesitated!

"no!"

"Once that short video is released, the two patriarchs will definitely be furious. They can't deal with Chen Yang... so they will inevitably vent their anger on me. At that time, I will surely die!"

There's no going back to Qingwei Taoist Temple!
To defect to Chen Yang?

"no!"

"I know nothing about the character of this Luo Feng Subduing Demon General, and it is unknown whether he can deal with the two patriarchs. If he fails, won't I die?"

After much deliberation, True Lord Xuan Shui finally bought another plane ticket!

He flew from Xixia Prefecture Hedong Airport to Xi'an, then transferred to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, and finally flew out of Xixia overnight!

"I am now a True Lord!"

"This level of strength is nothing in the Great Xia Dynasty, an era in which many patriarchs have emerged, but overseas... it's enough to live a very comfortable life!" (End of Chapter)
