"Their Yin Qi is weak, so they haven't been ghosts for very long. And judging from their appearance, they don't seem like evil spirits."

Tianxi, who was standing to the side, looked at it carefully and then whispered something.

For some reason, seeing the two of them so loving even as ghosts made her feel a little envious.

As a fairy, she had never experienced the taste of mortal love.

The scene before her eyes somewhat satisfied her expectations of the emotions between mortals.

So when I spoke just now, there was a hint of bias in my tone.

Fang Zelin pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then formed a hand seal and lightly tapped his foot, saying, "Please invite the Night Wandering God of this place."

The Spiritual Power was released, and after a short while, the two Night Wandering God arrived in a hurry.

Upon sensing the unfathomable depth of Fang Zelin's cultivation, his expression changed slightly.

"The Night Wandering God of Lianyun City greets the Immortal Master!"

The two Night Wandering God arrived and immediately bowed to Fang Zelin with respectful expressions.

Seeing that the two Night Wandering God before him had amiable expressions, Fang Zelin cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "I summoned you two here because I have something I'd like to ask you. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."

"Please ask, Immortal Master, we will answer to the best of our knowledge."

They were polite to Fang Zelin, and even more so to the two Night Wandering God.

"I see two wandering spirits here, but they haven't been taken away by the Underworld Bureau. I wonder what's going on?"

Fang Zelin spoke, he pointed to the couple in front of him.

Upon hearing this, the Night Wandering God looked up at the tomb ahead and the wandering souls inside, and immediately understood.

He immediately recounted the whole story to Fang Zelin.

It turns out that the two of them used to run a small business in the city. Although the business wasn't very successful, they were childhood sweethearts and deeply in love.

Therefore, they lived a rather comfortable life.

However, a while ago, when his wife was buying some materials on the road, she encountered a young master riding a horse.

The young master, unable to dodge in time, knocked the man flying and fell hard himself.

Then, the young master who had gotten up saw that his beloved horse had been injured and its skin was broken, so he immediately drew his knife and stabbed the woman in the forehead.

The young master's disciple had already practiced martial arts, so this strike naturally killed him instantly.

When her husband arrived after hearing the commotion and saw his wife in such a terrible state, he wanted to seek revenge on the young man.

However, the result was that the other party was also beaten to death by his servants.

Subsequently, both of their souls were taken to the Underworld Bureau.

According to the City God's Yin Scroll, their love affair had not yet ended, and they could remain husband and wife for another fifty years, in addition to the many good deeds they had done in their daily lives.

Therefore, the City God originally intended to arrange for the two to continue their romance in the Underworld Bureau.

However, the two were deeply saddened by the thought of being harmed by villains in the city and the subsequent injustices suffered by their families.

Therefore, they did not want to stay in the city.

Moved by this, the City God arranged for the two to be placed in his own tomb outside the city.

The Night Wandering God Wanderer explained the whole story in just a few words.

But behind these seemingly innocuous words, Fang Zelin sensed a deep sense of injustice and the unbridled behavior of the young master's disciple.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but furrow his brow deeply.

"It seems this young master's son has become completely lawless in the city, and no one can control him?"

"Although the Great Qian Dynasty is currently extremely powerful, these officials have intricate networks of connections and are already of one mind. For ordinary people to try and touch them is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Upon hearing this, the Night Wandering God also spoke with feeling.

Before the other person dies, they have no say in what the other person does.

They can only make a move after the other party is dead.

Fang Zelin fell silent upon hearing this; the Great Qian Dynasty had been established for over eight hundred years.

Over the course of more than eight hundred years, the countless connections among these sons of officials had long since become an intricate network.

For over eight hundred years, the power and influence of these officials in their region were unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Alas, under such circumstances, how can the Human Race Karmic Fortune be consolidated and prosper?"

Fang Zelin sighed as he thought about this.

A glimpse of the leopard reveals its true nature.

The Human Race Karmic Fortune is about to dissipate, and there must be a reason for it.

Back when the Great Qian Dynasty was first established, how many powerful and influential Aristocratic Clan were eliminated?

And now, the descendants of those ministers have finally become these powerful and influential Aristocratic Clan, committing heinous acts.

If this were the case everywhere else, then such a dynasty deserved to perish.

Even if the other party is a descendant of Jiuchuan, that's still the case.

Under the pressure of public resentment, the Human Race Karmic Fortune simply cannot be consolidated.

At that time, it seems we'll be giving the Demon Race race another opening.

Are there many wrongful convictions in the city?

Fang Zelin thought for a moment, then asked another question.

There have been no shortage of wrongful convictions.

"In the early years, when the Great Qian Dynasty was first established, things were alright, but now..."

As Night Wandering God, he naturally knew a great deal.

They will not be deceived.

After all, the Lord of the Underworld possesses the Book of the Dead, and he can immediately know what the spirits who come to this place have done or what injustices they have suffered.

Fang Zelin felt even more helpless upon hearing this.

An increase in wrongful convictions will inevitably breed resentment.

These resentments have an even greater impact on the Human Race Karmic Fortune.

"Thank you for your help in clarifying my doubts."

Fang Zelin cupped his hands in thanks to the two Night Wandering God.

"If there's nothing else, we'll continue our inspection of the surrounding area."

The two Night Wandering God nodded, then bowed and left.

Fang Zelin looked back again and saw the two people in the grave, and felt a little sorry for them.

"Alas, they are truly pitiful."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zelin lit up his hand with a flame, then cast a spell to condense a ball of water and put the spirit rice into it.

After baking for a short while, the spirit rice is cooked.

"Condense!"

After condensing the rice ball in his hand into a ball, Fang Zelin then cast a spell.

Then he placed the spirit rice in front of their graves.

The next moment, a thin, fragrant aroma, like cooking smoke, rose from the rice ball.

The rising steam resembled a wisp of smoke, yet it was incredibly strange.

When Fang Zelin finished doing all this, the two people in the grave did not notice.

Only after Fang Zelin left did he realize that there was something extra in front of his grave.

"Wow, what's that? It smells so good!"

The woman, who had just eaten the offerings, was immediately invigorated by the aroma.

Peeking out, she immediately saw the object in front of the grave. The aroma was so enticing that she couldn't resist and went forward to eat it.

"Wait a minute, this thing appeared in front of our graves so inexplicably, it might be a trap!"

Upon seeing this, the man beside her quickly reached out to stop his wife, his expression showing a hint of wariness.

The woman standing nearby, however, remained unfazed. "What nonsense are you talking about? We're all ghosts, what are we afraid of? We can't be afraid that this thing is poisonous, can we?"

The man was stunned upon hearing this.

What my wife said seems to make some sense?

At that moment, the woman let out a loud cry and pounced on him. After the aroma filled her mouth, she lowered her head in disbelief and took out a little more, feeding it to her husband.

Then she smiled sweetly, looking expectantly at her husband's surprised face.
