Nie Yingzhi was far more perceptive than ordinary cultivators. He viewed matters from the perspective of a senior leader of a great sect that governed an entire region, and clearly understood that the Netherworld Sect's actions would bring enormous turmoil to the whole world.
For ordinary cultivators, reversing yin and yang and controlling life and death might seem wonderful, but in reality, it was a violation of the mortal world's order.
Every use of such an ability carried an immense karmic burden.
These strands of karmic consequence would intertwine, producing even greater effects.
Over time, all manner of rules governing the Yang Realm would be rewritten.
The Heavenly Court soon learned of the news. By the time it sent people to the Continents below, the Incense Accumulation Sect had already dispatched disciples to local Market Wards to investigate multiple cases of people returning from the dead.
At the home involved in one case of a soul returning through another's corpse, two disciples heard what sounded like an argument before they even entered. The voices of a woman and several clan elders came spilling out.
"You foolish woman! The officials have already made it clear that these things possessing corpses are wandering ghosts. Yet you still protect him. What exactly are you plotting?"
"I should be asking what you're plotting! My husband finally survived a terrible ordeal, yet you insist on making trouble for him. You're trying to drive us to our deaths!"
"You insolent wretch! What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rough!"
"I will never let you in!"
"Sixth Brother, why waste your breath on her? Drag her aside, and we'll haul that corpse-possessing old ghost out!"
"I... I'll fight you!"
A moment later, a brawl broke out inside.
