Xie Wuyou struggled inwardly. He was a little unsure whether he should agree to this Sword Lineage leader's request.
In fact, if this Sword Cultivator had asked him for the whereabouts of all his deceased friends and relatives in the Netherworld, he would have told him without hesitation. Such a request was reasonable and would not burden him with too much karma. It fell within the bounds of ordinary human feeling, which even the Heavenly Dao had to respect.
But this foremost figure of the Sword Dao had made a request that took him quite by surprise. Clearly, the four people named were neither relatives nor friends of his. Since he was asking, he must have killed them in the world of the living and now wanted to know their status in the Book of Life and Death...
What he was really asking was whether these four beings had gone through the normal process, or had been intercepted along the way.
If even the Book of Life and Death showed no response, if they could evade the Great Way of Reincarnation's control within the Netherworld, the implications behind this made him shudder. Who in this universe could possibly accomplish that?
He did not even dare think about it.
As he weighed the pros and cons, he looked up and caught the Sword Cultivator's half-smiling gaze, and something stirred in his mind. Though his position was not high, he occasionally had opportunities to receive instruction before the King of Chujiang. In the king's drunken ramblings, he had also vaguely heard of the role a certain figure had once played in the great upheaval of the Netherworld in the New Era.
Without betraying anything, he brought the Sub-register against the Main Book of Life and Death. This was a very discreet operation.
