Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Shangshang, you told me you slept all day!"

Su Chang replied:

"Ghost hunting is a nighttime job, so it makes perfect sense to sleep through the whole day, right?"

"How about this, you can pretend I'm possessed by a sleep demon, suppress me in bed, and let me sleep for another thirty or fifty hours. That will be how I report back to the Ten Kings' Division, how about that?"

Yan Huan said disdainfully:

“Su Chang, you remind me of an old friend from the Apostolic Palace.”

"Mm." Gui Naifen nodded slightly.

"It's very much like being possessed by that famous tarot card player."

Su Chang asked in confusion:

"A card player from the diviner's office? Aren't diviners all fortune tellers?"

Gui Naifen took out her phone, opened Luofu Zazu, and said to everyone:

"Stop talking nonsense and come take a look at this post. I suspect it's a clue about Suiyang."

Everyone looked at the post.

The poster is a person with the ID 'Playing with Cards for Life'.

Title: I was late for work as usual today, and everyone seemed a bit strange.

[#Ghost Encounters# The coordinates of the Ministry are difficult to verify.]

[It's really strange, everyone at work today seems a bit off.]

[His face was haggard with a dark complexion, his gaze was unfocused and his eyes were vacant; he walked slowly.]

I was just curious and asked everyone what was wrong, but no one said anything...

[The entire Tabuchadnechera was eerily quiet; it scared me so much that I lost all interest in playing cards.]

[What's even stranger is that I tried to slip away unnoticed, but I ran into the Grand Diviner. She didn't even ask about my attendance? She just let me be late as usual? Something must have happened within the department that I can't say!]

Chapter 494 What is Fate?

The comments section below is also quite interesting.

[Even the Grand Diviner, why can't the Ministry of Justice be mentioned explicitly?]

[Isn't the God of the Underworld responsible for exorcising ghosts?]

[Ghost hunting is the domain of the Ten Kings! Where did this ghost come from?]

[Everyone else got infected but you're fine; maybe you're the one who's possessed, and everyone else is normal.]

[Then go report it to the land surveyor's office.]

[I felt nothing after watching it.]

[Oh~ scary~~ (without emotion)]

After reading the entire post, Huo Huo pondered and said:

"The description in this message is so bizarre, it seems to fit the situation of the parasitic spirit of Suiyang causing trouble."

"If even a confidential department like the Grand Diviner's Office is taken over by Suiyang, then we'll be in trouble."

"Indeed." Su Chang quickly took out her phone:

"I think we should contact Miss Qingque first and remind her not to go to work."

"Does she even need a reminder?" Yan narrowed his eyes.

Huo Huo looked at Yan Huan:

"To prevent people from approaching dangerous areas out of curiosity, we still have to fulfill our obligation to inform them."

"..."

"Alright, let me do it."

Immediately, Yan took out his phone and sent a message to Qingque on behalf of the ghost-catching team.

[Yan: How's things going on your end?]

[Yan: Don't go into the Imperial Apostle's Office yet; there might be danger there.]

Soon, Qingque replied.

[Qingque: ?]

[Qingque: You're overthinking it. When I saw that situation, I turned left and went outside to post it.]

[Qingque: So what happened? Why does everyone seem a bit lethargic?]

[Yan: ...]

[Yan: I won't say any more. Just keep watch at the door. Don't let anyone in or out.]

[Yan: We'll be there soon.]

[Qingque: Oh, it seems something really serious has happened.]

[Qingque: I understand. Now I'm truly the sect leader.]

After sending the message to Qingque, Huohuo suggested:

"As usual, let's try to probe the situation by looking at the floating smoke first."

The group soon arrived at the square in Suiyuan, where the floating smoke was contained.

Upon seeing the group, Fu Yan pondered for a moment and said:

“You have bound Azhuo in the formation… I also heard other Suiyang humming and trembling… longing to leave this place.”

"The Ten Kings' Division is progressing smoothly. Now that you've come to see me, you must have another request, right?"

"I missed you." Yan spread his hands, speaking the truth.

"I admit you've successfully disgusted me!" Fu Yan said with a look of disdain.

Huo Huo said:

"According to the agreement you made with the general, a victory will be exchanged for a problem."

A mocking look appeared on Fu Yan's face:

"Don't be so sure about winning or losing before the battle begins, little sister! Without your tail to help you, isn't it a bit difficult to subdue Suiyang?"

"Haha, as long as you open your heart and accept me... I can take the place of the tail, I can help you!"

"...Really?" Huo Huo asked.

“Of course!” Fu Yan replied with a smile.

"That's good." Huo Huo smiled back.

"What's so good about it?" Fu Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Huo Huo replied:

"You're trying your best to mislead me; it seems you have no real confidence in winning or losing."

"If you still had any chance of winning, you would have bared your fangs at us long ago, wouldn't you? Am I right, Fuyan?"

"Tsk, you bastard!"

Fu Yan was furious after being seen through:

"If it weren't for that good-for-nothing Jingyuan last time, how could I have lost so badly?"

"Now, as you wish, go to battle, Jingyuan's pawns!"

This time, Fu Yan didn't inquire about Jing Yuan's affairs at all. Instead, she directly controlled a group of underworld messengers and celestial boat ingenuity and launched an attack on the group.

According to the agreement made last time, Yan Huan cannot participate in the battle; Huo Huo, Gui Naifen, Su Chang, and others must take the lead.

"Don't be gloating over the last victory...!" Fu Yan threatened, maneuvering the puppets forward.

"Because if you make even the slightest mistake, I will seize the opportunity!"

"Without that guy in the war, are we less confident?"

"I will keep testing and challenging myself!"

“You will get tired and lose your energy, but I won’t!”

Gui Naifen, Su Chang, and Huo Huo also picked up their weapons and fought against the group of puppets.

In the ensuing chaos, the puppets of Fuyan were no match for the enemy and fell one by one.

Watching the last puppet fall before her, Huo Huo, clutching the talisman, gasped for breath and said:

"This time... we won again."

"Tsk, I didn't expect you guys to be such good fighters." Fu Yan was somewhat disappointed after seeing the result of the battle.

Unwilling to accept defeat, she spoke directly:

"Sigh, just ask whatever you want to know."

Huo Huo continued:

"It seems that the Grand Diviner's office has been occupied by a certain 'Yearly Yang' (a type of celestial energy). Do you have any clues about it?"

The group told Fu Yan about the current situation of the Taibu Si.

Fu Yan thought for a moment and pondered:

"They will go to the place where the Immortal Ship people glimpse the future... Besides Rhinoceros Flame, there shouldn't be anyone else there."

"I know it loves to entangle those prophets and seers, enjoys debating fate with them, and watches them painfully waver between randomness and destiny."

"Fate?" Yan asked confidently.

"Fate is something that is born to be trampled underfoot!"
