" Day Wandering God?"
Beiyu and the others were stunned. They hadn't expected that the place Murong had left clues for them to find was actually the home of a Underworld official).
"Does such a thing really exist?" This time, it was Wutu Yun who asked the question. He had initially completely disbelieved the so-called Underworld in Liuzhou!
At first, they also found it strange. They had seen Murong's body with their own eyes; he was definitely dead. How could he have left them any clues under such circumstances?
But now this woman is telling them that the one who arrived yesterday was Murong's spirit?
What clues did Murong's ghost leave for them?
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Although the woman spoke with great conviction, it was hard to believe.
"Does Madam mean that my younger brother is dead?" Beiyu asked again to confirm.
Looking at Beiyu's anxious expression, the woman sighed, "It is indeed a pity at that age. You are outsiders, aren't you? If you were locals from Jiangnan, you wouldn't have this question. But although it is unfortunate, it is also fortunate. He suffered an accident at such a young age, but fortunately, it happened in Jiangnan, so he won't lose the chance to see his family again. In Jiangnan, people have a good place after they die. According to my deceased husband, the difference between life in the Underworld and the mortal world is not that big. Children like your brother will receive priority care, so you don't need to be too sad."
The group was stunned for a moment, but Beiyu finally spoke up, "Madam, it's not that we don't believe you, but we've never seen it before. Since you just said that people can meet again in Liuzhou after they've died, could you please let us see my brother?"
"This..." Sister-in-law Chen hesitated, "I'm afraid it won't work. According to the rules of the Underworld, family members can only see each other through dreams. Normally, the only way to see each other is for the City God to appear in the underworld, but that was supposedly two years ago. Now, people in Liuzhou trust the Underworld a lot and wouldn't make such an unreasonable request."
"But we want to know the cause of my brother's death!" Beiyu hurriedly said, "Madam, my brother's death is shrouded in mystery, there must be an explanation!"
"It's no use telling me. We can only wait for my deadbeat husband to come back."
"Madam," Beiyu asked anxiously, "When will your master be back?"
"That's hard to say," the woman said hesitantly. "The Day Wandering God, who has to be on duty all day. The Underworld has been extremely busy lately, and he often helps out at night as well. If we're unlucky, you might have to wait until late at night. Hmm, how about we arrange a room for you to rest first, and we'll talk about it when the head of the household returns?"
How could Beiyu and the others dare to linger until late at night?
Given the current situation in Liuzhou, it's hard to say whether they can even hold out until the afternoon, let alone late at night.
"Madam, we must find out the cause of my brother's death as soon as possible. Could you please help us find your husband?"
Seeing the three anxious people, Sister-in-law Chen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse. "Come with me."
With that, he led the group out of the government office gate.
The moment they stepped out of the government office, Ziyue and the strange straw figure fixed their gazes on them.
"He came out on his own initiative?"
"A trap?" Even the scarecrow was puzzled.
"Using family as a trap?" Ziyue chuckled. "Is Chen Qing really that ruthless? If it wasn't Chen Qing who orchestrated it, do you think Wei Gongcheng would have done such a thing?"
"That's hard to say." The straw figure shook its head. "According to intelligence, Wei Gongcheng had an excellent reputation when he was in the Yuchi Household. He was a loyal and reliable person. Chen Qing had shown him great favor, so theoretically he wouldn't do such a thing. But people's hearts are unpredictable, aren't they?"
"Then let's keep an eye on it." Ziyue glanced back.
The next instant, a person who looked exactly like Shen Qi appeared—it was the Yin Devourer that had devoured Shen Qi!
The man opened his palm, and a huge eye appeared before the two of them. Meanwhile, the eyes that covered Liuzhou quietly opened, seeing clearly the whereabouts of Sister-in-law Chen and the others.
"Oh?" The straw man was taken aback. "Can the Yin Devourer inherit the Devourer's techniques?"
"That's none of your business," Ziyue laughed. "Didn't you say that everyone has their own secrets? If we find out too much, how can we remain friends?"
"You rascal." The straw man rolled his eyes at the other person but didn't take it to heart. Instead, he stared intently at Beiyu and the others.
By reading their lips, they quickly understood the situation!
This group of people went to the City God to find the Day Wandering God!
Murong was taken to the Underworld!!
"What should we do?" The straw man was stunned.
Underworld
It knew from the first day it arrived in Liuzhou that the thing definitely existed, but despite its abilities, it could never find the entrance to the Underworld. If Murong was isolated by the Underworld, even if it caused chaos in the entire Liuzhou, it would still be unable to find Murong!
"Let's take a look first," Ziyue said calmly.
At this moment, she seemed less panicked.
In about fifteen minutes, Sister-in-law Chen led Beiyu and the others to the nearest City God.
"Why is the street in such a mess?" Sister-in-law Chen asked, puzzled.
"It's said that Dean Chen Ying froze the restaurant where the celebration banquet was held, trapping all the new students inside. My brother died there too!"
"How could that be?" Sister-in-law Chen immediately retorted, "Dean Chen wouldn't do such a thing!"
Dean Chen is a daughter-in-law highly valued by her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law talks about her marriage every Heavenly Capital. She has also dated the girl a few times and knows her character very well. She has an excellent reputation throughout Liuzhou. How could she possibly do such a thing?
"Whether it is or not, we can ask my younger brother when we see him. After all, no one can get close to that frozen restaurant or see Dean Chen right now!"
"This..." Sister-in-law Chen suddenly realized that she seemed to be in trouble.
A sudden unease rose in her heart. Was it really a good idea to call her husband over now?
But in her anxiety, she lost her composure. Urged on by the other party, she finally called out to him at the City God using the things her husband had left behind.
It was a talisman; when lit, it produced no smoke, yet in less than two breaths, a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the City God.
Beiyu and the others cautiously took a step back. Sister-in-law Chen looked at her husband, finally feeling a little relieved, and quickly said, "Honey, the child's family came yesterday."
"Oh?" Chen Ye's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. He had been struggling to get any information about the child, and he hadn't expected the family to come knocking on his door so soon.
"Are you the child's family members?" Chen Ye asked, looking at Beiyu and the Human Dao.
"Yes," Beiyu quickly replied, "Are you the Day Wandering God that Madam spoke of? My younger brother was taken in by you, wasn't he? May we meet him?"
"That won't do," Chen Ye said, scratching his head. " The Underworld is a sacred place; people from the mortal realm cannot enter lightly!"
"Please, my lord!" Beiyu led the way in kneeling, pleading urgently, "Didn't Madam say before that we could see my brother through a dream? He died so tragically at such a young age. At least let us know the cause of his death, so we can have some closure."
"A dream message won't work for now," Chen Ye honestly replied. "It seems something major has happened in Liuzhou, the Underworld. All the day Night Wandering God and civil and military judges in the City God to help. I'm the only one left in the Underworld now. I don't have the authority to send dreams messages, so I can't help you!"
"This"
While the temple was embroiled in a dilemma, the straw figure outside, who had been observing the conversation through the Thousand-Eye Technique, suddenly brightened up. "Did you hear that?"
Ziyue frowned. She had heard clearly that not only was Wei Gongcheng absent from the entire Underworld, but all the other clergy were also absent. It was indeed an opportunity!
"Summon A Li!" the straw man gasped. "I must have Murong. I promise you, if you help me capture Murong Bingyun, the Dragon Palace elixir will be given to you and A Li first!"
"Are you sure?" Ziyue's expression shifted, clearly showing some interest in the suggestion.
"A contract can be formed using a spell!"
"Alright!" Ziyue raised her hand, and in broad daylight, a starlight descended, and from its location, a beautiful woman in red quickly emerged—none other than A Li.
"Oh, you finally decided to let me come over?" A Li looked at Ziyue and smiled.
Ziyue didn't speak, but pointed at the temple. Starlight fell, instantly turning the people in the temple gray and white, making them as still as statues!
" A Li, let's see if what that guy is saying is true."
A Li rolled her eyes at the other person, swayed slowly as she walked over, and with just one glance, she read all of Chen Ye's memories.
"Yes, that's right." A Li nodded slightly. "The other party wasn't lying; those divine messengers from the Underworld were all temporarily mobilized."
"Then it's up to you!"
Upon hearing this, A Li whispered a few words in Chen Ye's ear. Chen Ye's eyes immediately became utterly confused, but when he regained his senses the next second, he seemed incredibly familiar with A Li.
"Open the passage to the Underworld!"
"Yes!"
I'm late again today. I've been really busy these past two days. I'll make up for the last missed chapter tomorrow, and I'll also catch up on the list of those who gave me rewards tomorrow.
