After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"I've lived half my life and this is the first time I've ever seen such heavy rain."

Yang Lingnan nodded almost imperceptibly in agreement.

The underworld is filled with deep yin energy, and the sky is cloudless. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for it to rain. But now, not only is it raining, but the rain is also so heavy.

Strange phenomena must be unusual celestial phenomena.

Moreover, this strange phenomenon does not seem to be an auspicious sign.

Yang Lingnan was taking a nap in his room when he had a dream. In the dream, he returned to the time when Jiu Feng was still alive. He and the Imperial Advisor planned to assassinate Jiu Feng as a pledge of allegiance to the Emperor of Fengdu.

As a result, the Nine Phoenixes in the dream led a group of people who exposed his plan. Among them was actually the Central Ghost Emperor.

In the end of the dream, the bad guys get their just desserts and the good guys get their just rewards.

They, the bad guys, were suppressed in the Avici Hell, while the innocent Chu people who suffered were all subdued and converted by the Central Ghost Emperor.

Yang Lingnan was then awakened by the sound of the torrential rain.

When Yang Lingnan woke up, he was covered in cold sweat, and his body was constantly alternating between hot and cold.

It's impossible for Yang Lingnan not to feel guilty and remorseful for harming his own people and causing the death of Jiufeng. However, he has always suppressed his guilt and remorse very well, and comforted and convinced himself with various excuses.

But the person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

Those who commit evil also know just how wicked they are. (Note: The remaining text appears to be promotional material and unrelated to the main topic.)

So, I couldn't hold back any longer?

Are the scenes in your dreams the things you fear and dread about happening?

Yang Lingnan felt he should go find the Imperial Advisor and ask him for psychological counseling, otherwise just thinking about the scene in his dream made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Dezi..."

Yang Lingnan spoke.

The eunuch beside Yang Lingnan walked up to his emperor and bowed.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Go and summon the Imperial Advisor; I have something to discuss with him."

Without saying a word, the young eunuch went to get an umbrella and went out again in the pouring rain.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the young eunuch brought an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, whose face was so aged that he looked like he had one foot in the grave, to the eaves of the small courtyard where Yang Lingnan was staying.

Yang Lingnan glanced at the young eunuch who was leading the way, and the young eunuch tactfully withdrew.

After the eunuch had completely disappeared, Yang Lingnan didn't invite the old Taoist priest into the house to talk further. Instead, he smiled wryly at his own national teacher.

"Teacher, I had a nightmare while I was taking a short nap just now."

A glint of light flashed in the Grand Preceptor's cloudy eyes.

"Your Majesty, did you dream that our conspiracy failed, and that Jiufeng and the Central Ghost Emperor joined forces to suppress us in purgatory, so that we would never be able to be reborn?"

8∩←＝鑥糤◆「4兒觉′♀溜☆裙：杨凌南说。

"Grand Preceptor, did you also have the same dream as me?"

The Imperial Advisor nodded slightly. The old man, who looked so old that it was no surprise he would die any second, was about to explain in detail when he suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the underworld sky behind him, where raindrops were falling continuously.

Yang Lingnan curiously followed the direction the Imperial Advisor was looking.

The scene in the sky was similar to what Yang Lingnan had looked up at before: torrential rain and a vast expanse of desolation.

But in this vast expanse, a small black dot gradually appeared.

Yang Lingnan and the Imperial Preceptor narrowed their eyes. Both of them were cultivators, and although their cultivation was not deep, they were enough to see things from a high place.

Therefore, the two saw a royal carriage traveling through the wind and rain on the sky, running rampant without restraint.

Yang Lingnan and the Imperial Preceptor slightly opened their mouths.

As someone who aspires to become a god of the underworld, Yang Lingnan is all too familiar with what the Siyou Xunlan (a type of imperial carriage) represents. He even made one himself, but due to insufficient magical power, the Siyou Xunlan he made did not possess the true supernatural powers of the Siyou Xunlan.

For example, the ability to fly in the sky like this.

"Is this... the Five Ghost Emperors coming to inspect?"

Yang Lingnan murmured.

As soon as King Yang Lingnan of Chu finished speaking, the dragon horse being pulled by the Heavenly Curtain's commander You Xun suddenly lowered its head and dismounted towards the Daming Palace.

The Imperial Advisor asked in surprise.

"Has the Great Emperor of Fengdu heard our offerings?" Lin

After killing Jiufeng, the Imperial Preceptor and Yang Lingnan offered sacrifices to the Emperor of Fengdu, but the Emperor completely ignored them. In fact, from the beginning to the end of the plan, the two of them never received any promises from the Emperor of Fengdu.

But the imperial edict has been burned, and the offerings have been made. What if the Emperor of Fengdu was simply resting and didn't see it before, but now that he has, he might summon a powerful figure of the Five Ghost Emperors level to bestow rewards upon him?

"I once heard a Taoist priest say..."

As the Imperial Chariot of Siyou grew clearer, Yang Lingnan's voice trembled with excitement.

The Imperial Advisor looked at Yang Lingnan.

Yang Lingnan simply stared at the Siyou Imperial Carriage that was descending.

"Dreams are always the opposite."

In the dream, his actions were discovered, and he was suppressed by the Central Ghost Emperor, condemned to eternal damnation. In reality, however, his conspiracy succeeded, the Fengdu Emperor heard his decree, and now he has even summoned powerful deities of the Five Ghost Emperor level to bestow rewards upon him.

They made a fortune.

The imperial carriage stopped five meters above the courtyard where Yang Lingnan was located.

Facing the rain, Yang Lingnan walked out and clasped his hands in greeting to the Siyou Imperial Carriage.

"The ruler of Chu, Yang Changmao, courtesy name Lingnan, pays homage to the Five Ghost Emperors."

Although he didn't know how high a divine position the Fengdu Emperor had bestowed upon him, Yang Lingnan estimated that since the Five Ghost Emperors had to deliver the decree instead of the Fengdu Emperor himself, the divine position was at most at the level of the Six Heavens of Luofeng.

Luo Feng, the sixth-ranking ghost emperor of the five directions, is of the highest rank. The ghost emperor above him, who knows which side, will likely become his superior in the future.

You should treat your superiors with respect and make a good impression. This will help them value and support you in the future.

So later, he would bring out all the fine wines and delicacies he had treasured, invite the most beautiful girls to dance, and have the best musicians play music. After the Ghost Emperor from who-knows-which side came out, he would hold a grand banquet, drink with this superior, and at the same time ask if this superior could help him save Xiao Jun'an.

As the second-in-command of the underworld, the Five Ghost Emperors should have no trouble saving a person, right?

The coachman of the Imperial Guard opened the curtain.

A young girl dressed in casual clothes stepped out of Si You Xun Lan's carriage.

Yang Lingnan and the Imperial Advisor both changed their expressions.

They all instinctively felt that this little girl looked somewhat familiar.

The little girl in the car walked to the side of the car and looked down at the Chu national teacher and Yang Lingnan below.

"The one below..."

"Bai Ze asked me to pass on a message to you..."

"He hates it when bad people get rewarded."

"...Me too."

Chapter Two: Zhu Jiuyin's Perverse Pleasures

Inside a campervan in Dahuang Village.

Zhou Yan sat at a dining table. Zhu Jiuyin, dressed in a white lotus cheongsam, held a steak frying pan. After lighting the stove in front of Zhou Yan, she placed the steak pan on it and then used chopsticks to take out a piece of butter and gently slide it on the steak pan.

The aroma of fat wafted out.

Zhu Jiuyin looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.

How well-done would you like your steak?

"Five points, I'd say."

"Mushroom sauce, blueberry sauce, or black pepper sauce?"

Zhou Yan was shocked.

"Steak with blueberry sauce?"

In the past, when Zhou Yan ate steak, he had only heard of mushroom sauce and black pepper sauce.

"If you haven't tried it before, you can give it a try."

Zhu Jiuyin suggested.

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"Fine, fine, I don't like food that exceeds my expectations. Just give me some black pepper sauce, okay?"

Zhu Jiuyin tore open the packaging of a frozen steak from the side of the table and put the steak into a frying pan with melted butter.

The sizzling sound of the oil frying filled the air, and the rich aroma of butter began to waft out.

Zhou Yan took a sip and praised.

"good."

This beef is rich and flavorful; with the omniscient explanation, you can tell it's good quality just by looking at it and smelling it.

"This is a treasure I carefully selected. It's a piece of meat that could be a main dish in any high-end restaurant."

Zhu Jiuyin gently rotated the pan to prevent the beef from sticking and to ensure the steak was heated evenly.

"So...you woke up and didn't leave."

Zhu Jiuyin started by putting some aromatic powder into the pot, mainly to enhance the flavor of the beef itself.

"You don't just want to eat my steak, do you?"

Zhou Yan asked with a smile.

"Can't I? I just really want some."

Zhu Jiuyin smiled as he stared at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan and Zhu Jiuyin stared at each other for three minutes before Zhou Yan shrugged.

"I want to go to the Bodhisattva Guanyin's sacred site, find the holy water of merit in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and revive the peach trees in the Jade Pool."

Zhu Jiuyin flipped the steak over.

"So? You want me to come with you? Is there any danger at Guanyin's temple?"

Zhou Yan looked at the steak that Zhu Jiuyin was grilling.

The group ≥′: 倛柶一〔¨玖∧『｀起¤'琳烛九阴 started to seal the edges of the steak.

Looking at the beef sealed by Zhujiuyin, Zhou Yan inexplicably thought of the Queen Mother of the West, whose mythical form was somewhat similar to his own.

The matter concerning the Queen Mother of the West must be done.

"It's the Third Prince..."

Zhou Yan looked somewhat distressed.

"The Third Prince is recuperating in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. I don't know if the Third Prince has any grudge against me..."

Zhou Yan didn't know if he had offended the Third Prince in the past, but judging from Guanyin's deliberate reminder, Zhou Yan felt that he probably had, and quite seriously.

Yes.

Zhu Jiuyin suddenly interrupted Zhou Yan.

“You have a great grudge against the Third Prince, and he has a very bad temper.”

Zhu Jiuyin's face was full of disgust.

In Zhujiuyin's eyes, Nezha was just a brat. Back then, Nezha was playing by the sea and caused a huge disturbance in the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Prince didn't even bother to go up and see what was going on. As the instigator, Nezha not only didn't apologize, but also killed the dragon and skinned him.

Afterwards, the Dragon King, whose son had been killed, went to Chentang Pass to demand an explanation. Knowing he was in the wrong, Li Jing asked Nezha to come out and apologize. However, Nezha cut off his bones to return to his father and his flesh to return to his mother, stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake.

There's a reason Li Jing dislikes Nezha: the kid is too unruly and has a terrible temper.

Later, Shiji Si Niangniang's son was also killed by Nezha. Shiji Qi Niangniang also demanded an explanation and an apology from Nezha, but Nezha refused and even stole Li Jing's magic weapon to kill Shiji Niangniang.

Zhu Jiuyin was aware of all these things, but since Nezha had a strong backing and had never offended him, Zhu Jiuyin didn't bother to care.
