Caught between two attackers, the tall, thin man was on the verge of collapse: “What do you mean by this?”
For the first time, Wei Tianyi felt a little ashamed. Fortunately, although he didn’t remember, Steward Zhou had a record of it: “Sir, please wait a moment. I remember that the young master’s birth record is kept in the study.”
As he spoke, he quickly went upstairs and took out a file book. He pulled out a piece of paper from it, and just as Wei Tianyi was about to take a look, the tall, thin man next to him quickly approached and snatched it away.
Wei Tianyi was a little annoyed by his offense: “Master Qing, what are you trying to do?”
But the tall, thin man, contrary to his usual self, had a wildly joyful and ferocious expression: “Ha! I finally got it!”
Wei Tianyi began to realize something was wrong: “Master Qing, what do you mean by this?”
The tall, thin man, no longer pretending, coldly glanced at him, his hand reaching for what he wanted. This guy had been leading him around since the hospital that morning, and Wei Xi, this mediocre fellow, had even colluded with the Liandu Temple, actively provoking their Cultivation Sect, causing his master to suffer severe backlash and remain bedridden to this day.
But thankfully, his forbearance and tireless efforts finally paid off! This birth certificate was Wei Xi’s death warrant!
He grinned maliciously, gripped the thin piece of paper tightly, and quickly unfolded it under the astonished and slightly panicked gazes of Wei Tianyi and Shu Wanrong!
“……………………”
The chubby boy peeked over and took a look, then calmly concluded, “Senior brother, it seems like they’re playing a trick on you.”
….
Wei Xi led Black Impermanence and a group of underworld messengers back to Taicang Sect. Before they even got close to their house, they heard a commotion. They paused for a moment, then took a few more steps forward and saw Wei Chengshu standing at the gate, staring coldly into the house.
Wei Xi peeked inside and saw a chaotic fight breaking out. He could also hear Wei Tianyi’s roar, which he hadn’t heard for several days: “What’s going on?”
Wei Chengshu glanced at him from behind his bangs, his expression blank: “My parents brought a group of Taoist priests home to perform rituals, saying they were introduced by Xing Kai.”
Wei Xi: “Huh? And then?”
Wei Chengshu said indifferently, “Then they started fighting with them.”
When Tuan Tuanyi saw that the fight was quite fierce, and could vaguely hear someone shouting “How dare you play me!” and Wei Tianyi yelling “Crazy!”, he was a little stunned. What was going on?
It was strange that Wei Tianyi invited people back to his own sect to perform a ritual. How could they end up fighting? Could it be that they got into a dispute over the ritual fee?
He asked Wei Chengshu, “Aren’t you going to help?”
Shu Wanrong had already hidden outside. Wei Chengshu snorted coldly, threw away the iron bucket, and leaned against the courtyard wall, looking completely indifferent.
Wei Xi was a little annoyed. These outsiders came to his sect to perform a ritual and even got into a fight with his own disciples. What were they up to? “Are they here to cause trouble?”
Wei Chengshu thought of the group of serious-looking Taoist priests and sneered, “I think they’re more like lunatics.”
After he finished speaking, he noticed the unfamiliar elite man following behind Wei Xi. He glanced at him up and down, frowned, and asked, “Who is this person? Your new apprentice?”
Black Impermanence was so focused on the fight inside the room that he didn’t notice. Wei Xi, remembering that Wei Chengshu was an advanced disciple of his sect, patiently answered him, “No.”
Wei Chengshu’s expression relaxed a little. The next second, Wei Xi introduced, “This is Black Impermanence, the deputy minister of the City God Department of the Underworld. He has come to our sect today for an inspection. Go and inform Steward Zhou to prepare for his reception.”
Damn it, there isn’t a single normal one. Wei Chengshu’s expression instantly turned cold: “……………………Oh.”
As they were talking, the chaotic scene inside suddenly changed. A tall, thin man in a Taoist robe struggled to break free from Wei Tianyi’s angry shouts and punches, roaring furiously, “You really are asking for trouble!!!”
Wei Xi saw his second apprentice raise one eyebrow after seeing the other’s appearance.
Wei Xi asked, “What’s wrong?”
His second apprentice looked down at him and said, “We couldn’t find anything anywhere. We didn’t expect them to come to us on their own initiative. You’re going to make a contribution.”
Wei Xi: “What contribution?”
Second disciple: “Cultivation cult.”
Tuan Tuanyi immediately realized: “It’s the Cultivation Cult?! The group that had the underworld messengers steal Master Kuang’s soul?!”
Black Impermanence, however, was quite perceptive to this term and immediately came to his senses: “Underworld Messenger?”
Tuan Tuanyi quickly explained, “This is a cult from Xinnan that has a secret relationship with the underworld officials and can command them to take people’s souls at will.”
Black Impermanence’s expression immediately turned serious. His gaze swept over the group of underworld messengers behind him. The messengers beside him immediately changed their expressions and began to refute him: “Young brother, don’t talk nonsense! We grassroots soul-collecting messengers have rules and regulations, and we absolutely do not take a single needle or thread from the underworld people!”
As soon as they finished speaking, a sharp, angry roar came from inside the house: “You dare to smash me! I see you won’t give up until you see the Yellow River! Believe me or not, I’ll immediately summon the Underworld Messenger to take your soul away!”
The numerous underworld messengers outside the courtyard: “…………”
As the tall, thin man spoke, Wei Tianyi kicked him several more times: “You damn liar!!! You are calling a messenger of the underworld? Messenger of the underworld my ass! You’re acting crazy in my house. I’ll beat you to death today!!”
The tall, thin man was weak and no match for him; so he could only cover his head and hide. Seemingly enraged, he finally pulled a token from his pocket and roared at the sky: “Thunderous command, swift as a shooting star, invoking the spirits of the earth! Hear my command, arrive at full speed! Report your business, as swiftly as the supreme law of the highest heavens!!”
Then he shouted to a chubby boy nearby, “Start a fire! Burn paper money for the Underworld Messenger!!”
Wei Xi heard a commotion behind him and turned around to see a group of underworld officials shouting, “This is a summons from the Xinnan City God, it has nothing to do with our local area!”
Sure enough, the chubby boy quickly started a fire, and then endless smoke and dust flew into the sky. Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the flat ground, and a ghost messenger appeared in front of the tall, thin man, dragging a long chain.
The underworld messenger, with a gloomy expression, had barely appeared and hadn’t even settled in when he received a handful of gold ingots. He stuffed them into his sleeve while asking in a sinister voice, “Were you calling me?”
The tall, thin man was overjoyed and was about to tell the underworld messenger his request when the messenger suddenly stopped stuffing gold ingots into his sleeve.
Then it slowly turned its head to look at the certificate hanging on the wall of Taicang Sect.
As if sensing something, it slowly turned its head to look at the main entrance.
“……………………”
The tall, thin man suddenly exclaimed, “Underworld Messenger! Underworld Messenger!”
Unfortunately, no one responded, leaving only scattered paper ingots on the ground.
The chubby boy said with a long face, “Senior brother, how come you’re getting worse and worse? Last time you couldn’t even summon a soul, but this time you can’t even summon a netherworld official.”
