Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 93 No Evil Is Inevitable

The old man turned to look at Li Xuan, his eyes bloodshot, and his tone became calm as he said, "The Qing Dynasty is now a mere shell. Yuan Shikai has seized power and become the president! You would never believe it, but the 'Qing Dynasty' still exists within the Forbidden City. However, that existence is limited to the high walls of the Forbidden City. Once the emperor steps out of that gate, he is no longer the emperor, and his orders are confined to the palace..."

He gripped his trousers tightly at his knees and laughed, “When a country is about to perish, monsters will surely appear. Look at the world, war is raging everywhere, warlords are fighting each other, bandits and brigands are rampant, and even foreigners are eyeing us covetously! Twenty years ago, I was still in my prime, ambitious and courageous, wanting to escape and make a name for myself, but I don’t have that anymore.”

Li Xuan was silent.

The old man seemed to be speaking to Li Xuan, but also to himself.

His gaze fell on his pitiful son, A'an, and his voice became hoarse as he said, "Whether it's fleeing, inciting a rebellion, or wreaking havoc on the world, it all comes down to the word 'people'! Those who unite the hearts of the people can achieve great things! The Ren family in Renjia Town has long since cultivated and gathered a large number of people through generations, firmly controlling the townspeople in their hands, turning them into hens that can't resist and can only keep laying eggs..."

Li Xuan said, "Ren Fa seems to be quite polite to Lin Jiu in town."

The old man laughed heartily: "Lin Jiu isn't some charlatan like me; he's a legitimate Maoshan Taoist priest, and his senior brother is said to be a formidable figure who masters thunder magic! Even if Lin Jiu is a good-for-nothing, Ren Fa wouldn't dare to act rashly, because he has countless Taoist priests from the vast Maoshan sect backing him up. Spells, curses, feng shui—you can dodge him on the first day of the month, but you can't dodge him on the fifteenth..."

Li Xuan was about to speak.

The old man raised his eyelids to look at him and said, "You want to ask me why I didn't ask Lin Jiu to stand up for me? Do you know how Maoshan views unaffiliated martial arts practitioners like us? A martial arts practitioner is someone who is ignorant and incompetent!"
I went to see Lin Jiu when he first arrived two years ago!

He refused, saying that he was merely a "person devoted to Taoist cultivation" who was good at exorcising evil spirits, but lacked the ability to deal with people...

Li Xuan: “…”

The old man suddenly burst into laughter, which made him cough violently. He said, "It's normal for reputable sects to look down on martial arts practitioners. But after I accidentally came into contact with his two disciples, I can't blame Lin Jiu anymore. He really 'can't handle people.' Otherwise, how could a reputable sect teach two rebellious disciples who are always jumping around?"

His gaze finally settled on the gourd at Li Xuan's waist, and he squinted as he said, "You look like you're also from the Xuanmen sect. May I ask which sect or school you belong to?"

Li Xuan replied, "The judge of Fengdu."

The old man, who hadn't been overly agitated when he saw his son A'an covered in blood, suddenly stood up from his chair upon hearing the words "Judge of Fengdu." He pointed at him, then quickly withdrew his finger, staggered back two steps, and bumped into the wall.

His voice became flustered as he said, "That Fengdu judge from the Fengyue faction?"

Li Xuan shook his head and corrected him, saying, "I directly worshipped the statues of the three great emperors of the North Pole, North Yin, and East Yue, and was guided into the sect by the gods, skipping the sect's procedures and becoming a judge directly."

"hiss……"

The old man gasped!
He was always a calm person, but when he heard "the gods lead the way," he was completely flustered. Although he was a feng shui master, he had always been unaware of the existence of gods.

If gods and Buddhas were here.

How could they not see this devastated land of China? How could they watch the Qing Dynasty decay? How could they watch foreign invaders slaughter indiscriminately?

how……

How can we tolerate someone like Ren Fa living without getting his comeuppance?
The old man's eyes were cloudy. He patted his old but clean robe with both hands, as if trying to brush off imaginary dust. Then, he clasped his hands together and looked directly at Li Xuan, respectfully saying, "May I ask... Fengdu sorcerers exorcise demons and uphold justice, eradicating all injustice. Ghosts, gods, and cultivators alike cannot escape their punishment. So, can an ordinary villain like Ren Fa also be punished...?"

Crash.

There was the sound of turning pages... Li Xuan held a black book in his hand and was flipping through it. The cover was printed with "The Northern Yin Fengdu Taixuan Demon-Suppressing Black Law Spirit Book". The direction he was turning the pages was a bit unusual.

The old man could only see the cover and not the contents, but when he glanced at the "Northern Yin Fengdu Taixuan Demon-Suppressing Black Law Spirit Book," he was so frightened that he hurriedly lay down on the ground and said, "No, don't take it out, please put it away! I have heard a little about the Fengdu Black Law. I heard that it is an extremely strict Fengdu law, which is extremely harsh on Fengdu judges and ghosts and gods!"

Li Xuan turned to the last page of "The Black Laws," stood up from his chair, and said, "You asked me if the judges of Fengdu can deal with ordinary people who commit evil deeds. I'm sorry, it only talks about ghosts and gods and the judges of Fengdu, and it doesn't mention how to deal with ordinary evildoers..."

He pushed open the door and walked out of the thatched hut.

The old man felt a chill in his heart.

Night had fallen outside, and a cold wind mixed with a light drizzle drifted into the thatched hut. Li Xuan's voice could be faintly heard: "It's alright, it's not written in the Black Law Book, but it's written on my knife..."

The old man suddenly looked up, got up from the ground, and, leaning against the wall, went to the door. In the darkness, Li Xuan's figure had already blended into the vast night and was barely visible...

Just then, Ah An, lying on the bed, spoke in a weak voice: "Father... this young... this Fengdu judge, if he doesn't have any powerful backing, if he's all alone... I'm worried he'll be in grave danger. Although I hope the Ren family will be punished, I don't really want this person to die."

The old man said with a hint of realization, "You can't imagine the background of the Fengdu Judge. So... if the Fengdu Judge catches and kills those cultivators from various sects who commit crimes, there's only one thing they'll do if they find out immediately."

Ah An pricked up his ears and asked, "What?"

The old man said, "Write a letter on yellow paper, severing all ties..."

Ah An: "..."

……

At the Ren residence, Ren Fa and Lin Jiu walked out of the main hall, chatting as they went.

Lin Jiu said, "I hope Master Ren won't take my two apprentices' matter to heart. I already gave them a good beating tonight."

Ren Fa was very satisfied with Lin Jiu's attitude in apologizing late at night. At least he had saved face as the "big brother" of Renjia Town, and Tingting also gave Lin Jiu, as an "elder," face.

He suddenly remembered the young man he had met at the Western restaurant and said, "Uncle Jiu, do you think there's such a thing as a nemesis between people?"

Lin Jiu's heart skipped a beat. He had just calculated the absurd thing about his fate clashing with Ziwei's star last night, and now Master Ren was asking him this kind of question...

He asked calmly, "What makes you say that?"

Ren Fa said, "A young man came to my Western restaurant. When I bumped into him today, everything was fine at first, but suddenly for a moment his whole aura became sharp, like a sword about to be drawn! Uncle Jiu, you don't know, I felt like I had difficulty breathing, as if I was lying on the guillotine waiting for the blade to fall on my neck..."

Lin Jiu was taken aback. He asked Ren Fa for his birth date and time, and began to calculate with his left hand. His expression changed. This Master Ren's calamity had arrived, and he would surely die within this month!
Died by a sharp blade, died by the death of a loved one?

Completely different ways of dying and their outcomes intertwine and shift...
