Chapter 458: Chapter 322: If I leave this time and never return, then let it be a departure without return!
White Impermanence frowned.
If it were at ordinary times, and this wicked child dared to act like this in front of him, he would probably have already pulled out his Soul-binding Chain and whipped him.
However, now he was an “inspector”, a high-ranking official in the Underworld, and it would be inappropriate to fight him at every disagreement.
He pondered for a moment and said, “After all, it’s against the rules. I, Xie Bian, am not ungrateful, but if this matter is reported to the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, our whole family will have to go to the eighteen layers of hell… Xu Yang may have a good relationship with Lord Cui, but if such a thing happens, even Lord Cui would not dare to protect us.”
Xie Xun rolled his eyes and said, “Dad, I’ve already said that we’re doing this for my Uncle Xu. No one in the world dares to touch my Uncle Xu… Don’t you know about my Uncle Xu’s background?”
“If it’s just a good relationship with Lord Cui, could he just have me become an inspector with a word?”
“Oh?”
White Impermanence’s face changed slightly, and he asked in surprise, “Could it be that Supreme Sage Xu has some connection with the heavens?”
“Dad, Uncle Fan, sit down and don’t be shocked!”
Xie Xun was leisurely and confidently said, “My Uncle Xu is the son of the Great Emperor, the Crown Prince of Fengdu City, and the future heir of the Underworld… Is this identity enough?”
Both Black and White Impermanence were stunned.
They looked at each other for a good ten seconds before reacting.
White Impermanence Xie Bian earnestly asked, “Is this… really true?”
Xie Xun: “Of course, I heard it with my own ears. Lord Cui even relayed the words of the Great Emperor, telling Uncle Xu that he owes Uncle Xu too much, and after sweeping through the netherworld, he will definitely compensate Uncle Xu well.”
Swipe!
White Impermanence stood up abruptly, looking around, and called out, “Old Fan, where’s my phone?”
Fan Wujiu took out White Impermanence’s phone from under his buttocks and asked in surprise, “Lao Xie, what do you want your phone for?”
“To call Wang Lin, to get the information of the Lu Shan Sect… Supreme Sage Xu treats his nephew as his own, calls him a Xie Xun, and gives him great favor. How can he not repay it?”
White Impermanence was determined and said, “The Lu Shan Sect is killing innocents for the sake of the inheritance, it’s simply intolerable…”
He called Wang Lin, asked for a detailed information on the Lu Shan Sect, studied it carefully, and said, “Old Fan, notify all Yincha in the human world, saying that the Underworld Inspector has arrived in the human world and asked them to come to Wu City to welcome him…”
…
Wu City.
Martial Arts Academy, headmaster’s office.
Xu Yang’s breath fluctuated, and he slowly exhaled, sighing, “Another divine skill has been accomplished… I have now practiced twenty kinds of divine skills, greatly advanced in mana, and in terms of cultivation, I probably won’t be weaker than some ordinary Spirit Refining Realm.”
“My primordial spirit has also grown a lot.”

“In a head-on battle, I should be no weaker than a top-level Spirit Refining Realm.”
He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the school playground outside.
On the playground, the students were wearing neat martial arts uniforms, practicing basic boxing under the guidance of the boxing teacher, with well-organized movements, shouting and fighting, and Xu Yang couldn’t help but feel a little blood boiling.
In his mind, the system prompt tone came intermittently.
Xu Yang understood…
It should be Lord Cui bringing misfortune to some “unlucky ghost” again.
At this time, a knock on the door sounded.
Xu Yang looked out the window with his back to the door, without turning his head, and said, “Come in.”
The door of the office was pushed open, and Feng Zhaoqing walked in.
His face was full of smiles, and he said, “Director Xu, you were looking for me?”
Xu Yang said, “Director Feng, I’d like to know more about the Silver City City God Temple site.”
“Director Xu, do you intend to deal with the City God Temple site?”
Feng Zhaoqing’s face changed slightly, and he quickly advised, “Director Xu, absolutely not… According to our judgment, the City God in the Silver City City God Temple site has already awakened, and with his ability, he can control the entire geomantic omen of Silver City…In his domain, his strength is absolutely no weaker than a Land Immortal.”
“He is strong, but what does it have to do with me?”
Xu Yang smiled, “I want to go to the City God Temple site for a trip, but it’s not for fighting, just to talk to the City God…”
After hearing this, Feng Zhaoqing told Xu Yang in detail all the information he knew about the City God Temple site and said, “Director Xu, if you go to Silver City, it’s best to meet with Director Chen. He and Master Luan are stationed at the City God Temple site and know more than I do.”
After talking about the Silver City City God Temple site, Feng Zhaoqing also mentioned the matter of “Mr. Luo”.
“The fact that you gave Mr. Luo a villa has spread among the teachers and students in the school… Our teachers are now all motivated, and they all want to break through to the martial grandmaster realm.”
Feng Zhaoqing fully agreed with Xu Yang’s move.
Although martial arts and Daoist skills have become widely popular, martial grandmasters are still considered top-tier experts. It is important to know that the directors of each provincial Spirits Management Bureau are typically at the martial grandmaster realm.
In a popular way.
This is talent!
Xu Yang’s move was to keep this talent in the school, in Wu City!
Feng Zhaoqing even planned to let the Spirits Management Bureau allocate a sum of money, and Wu City would also contribute some money as a fund, specifically for the welfare of these “talents”.
“There’s no need for all that trouble.”
Xu Yang smiled, “I have the ability to turn stones into gold, control two Ghost Markets, and have wealth equal to a country; I can afford this.”
Soon.
It was lunchtime.
Wan Qian got her lunch at the school’s small cafeteria and brought it to Xu Yang’s office.
After eating, Xu Yang said, “I’m off work, I’m going to Silver City… By the way, I have something to do tomorrow, so I may not come to work. If there’s anything in the academy, just contact me by phone.”
Xu Yang had made up his mind.
After the ghost market disperses tonight, he will gather his men tomorrow and confront the Lu Shan Sect.
He summoned a cloud and flew leisurely towards Silver City.
On the way, he received a call from his grandpa, who said he had started refining the City God’s decree last night. Now he could control the power of mountain and water within a radius of three kilometers centered around Wanshou Palace in West Mountain, greatly enhancing his strength.
“I will build my City God Temple next to the Wanshou Palace.”
“By that time, the entire West Mountain will be my territory… Even if a land immortal comes, they will be no match for me.”
Grandpa felt elated and full of vigor.
Becoming the City God not only gave him face; he could also protect Wanshou Palace and most importantly, rekindle his love with Xiao Fang.
Xu Yang feigned congratulations and said, “Grandpa, hurry up and refine it. After tomorrow morning, you should go back to Wu City… It’s time to settle the grudge between our Jingming Sect and the Lu Shan Sect!”
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
After a while, Xu Zhiyuan finally said solemnly, “It’s time to settle the score… Don’t worry, Grandson, I will be on time tomorrow!”
…
Silver City.
Former University of Science and Technology.
By now, the University of Science and Technology was completely shrouded in gray fog, which had expanded to engulf all buildings within a kilometer radius during the past half a month.
Some ordinary people living in a few residential buildings hadn’t even had a chance to evacuate, and their fate was unknown.
Outside the remains of the City God Temple, in a cleared-out residential community.
Chen Jingzhou, Luan Haiping, and several Silver City Spiritual Management Bureau staff temporarily occupied a small western-style building in the community as a temporary office.
From this small western-style building, they could observe the “Ghost Realm” ahead.
With his sharp eyes, Chen Jingzhou stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the ghosts lurking in the rolling gray fog of the “Ghost Realm.”
For a while.
Chen Jingzhou turned around and asked, “How’s the situation?”
A staff member from the Silver City branch had a trace of sadness in his eyes and said solemnly, “Director Chen, we can’t send any more people in… The Ghost Realm is too dangerous, and none of them have been able to return!”
Chen Jingzhou didn’t say anything. He just silently looked at the young staff member and said, “Get ready, I’ll go in personally after 20 minutes.”
The man known as “Smiling Tiger” in the martial world showed no smile on his face at the moment.
Uncertain about the life and death of the people living in the residential buildings.
His brothers who entered the “Ghost Realm” to investigate had all perished inside.
This made his mood very heavy.
He knew that his chances of returning were slim… But the lives of nearly a thousand people in those residential buildings were still in the Ghost Realm. As a member of the Spirits Management Bureau, he had to bear this responsibility.
“Director!”
“Director… you can’t go!”
“You’re the backbone of our Xi Xia branch. What would we do without you?”
“Let me go instead. I’m good at body techniques and can run fast…”
One staff member after another tried to dissuade him.
Luan Haiping on the side said, “Director Chen, let me go… I’m a Daoist, and I’m better at dealing with these malevolent beings than a martial artist like you.”
“There’s nothing wrong with being a martial artist!”
Chen Jingzhou glared and said jokingly, “You Daoists always look down on us martial artists… What? Can’t we martial artists stand up? Can’t we catch ghosts?”
“Alright…”
“Don’t be so melancholy.”
“I’m just going to investigate the situation, not give up my life.”
He put on a smile that made him look like a “Smiling Tiger” once again.
In the end, Chen Jingzhou left the small western-style building and headed to the “Ghost Realm” with determination, under the watch of Luan Haiping and his subordinates.
He didn’t look back.
He waved casually, singing off-key lyrics about something like “If I don’t return with this one trip, I won’t return,” making the scene look tragic.
Just before stepping into the Ghost Realm, he stopped, took a deep breath, and pulled out his phone. He opened the photo album, looked at the family picture inside, and then took a big step into the gray fog.
The next moment…
A large hand grabbed Chen Jingzhou’s collar and yanked him out of the gray fog.
Chen Jingzhou: “…”
Xu Yang: “Director Chen, what are you doing?”
“…”
Chen Jingzhou was stunned for a good seven or eight seconds.
Damn it!
I’ve built the atmosphere to this point, and now you’re pulling me back?
While complaining inwardly, he asked with a smile on his face, “Supreme Sage Xu, what brings you to our Xi Xia today?”
