looked around. This driver seemed to have crawled out of the river. There were disfigured, jet-black thighs and arms scattered below him."‘Mmm…’"With a soft sound, a large bulge suddenly appeared on...Too late to see where the chain came from, can't miss this opportunity —

Behind stood the Ghost Gate, where any specter could be dragged out. All it took was to force the great snake out of its physical form.

If I had used Lei Fa directly, Liu Feifei should still be alive now. However, the damage to the house would have been immense. So, I hurriedly reached into my small handbag and fumbled for Shen's exorcism talismans.

While she was bound by chains around her neck, I rushed two steps forward, ready to strike her head.

Who knew that Zhang Fatty, who had been unconscious on his side the whole time, suddenly sat up. He reached out and grabbed my small satchel that was hanging from my shoulder.

With a snap, the strap of my bag was ripped apart and I stumbled to the ground.

Luckily, the jacket sleeves were long enough to cover my hands, or else I would have gotten a mouthful of glass shards from holding onto the ground.

"Zhang Fatty, I was saving her!" I pressed down on the anger in my chest and growled at Zhang Fatty.

Zhang Fatty was covered in blood, his huge and stout figure resembling a bear in the darkness. He gasped for breath heavily, it was unclear if he was conscious.

He jerked his body a few times, bending down to shake all the contents of my small handbag out onto the floor.

Shen Jia's secret talismans, a small wallet with a few cards and some change, were all scattered on the ground by him. He fiercely stomped on the talisman with his foot, and angrily cursed: "You bunch of charlatans, you're all charlatans! What masters, what families, are all brainwashing charlatans!!"

The silver chain was still fastening Liu Feifei, and I followed the direction of the chain upward, seeking help.

From the hem of his sleeves, an inky garment that shimmered faintly with silver light, a chain trailed. Jiang Qiyun stood before the gate of hell, eyes lowered as he stared at me.

At this moment, he caught my gaze and raised his hand to his mouth, making a "shh" gesture.

What does this mean

I have some doubts.

He cast a slight glance at Zhang Fatty, who was raving mad.

I suddenly realized, this guy must know a lot. I might as well take the opportunity to ask him some more questions!

“Zhang Fatty, you walked down the wrong path, using this method to make money, inviting karmic retribution upon yourselves. You will surely meet a bad end sooner or later. I was trying to save you, but you repay kindness with malice—” I quickly got up and put some distance between myself and the two of them.

Liu Feifei was suspended by a chain around her neck, looking like a small animal with its neck clamped and floating in the water. Her hands and feet hung limply, only her toes touching the ground. This... this wouldn't strangle her...

"What do you know...you're going to save us You want to get rid of the snake, don't you That snake if it's removed, FeiFei will become a vegetable! You think I don't know, none of you charlatans are any good!" Zhang Fatty bent over and picked up something from the ground out of my bag, smashing whatever he found.

"This snake is a spirit, and if it isn't removed, it will eventually kill Liu Feifei."

"I know! I know!!" Zhang Fatty cried, pounding the ground frantically: "What kind of devil stuff did that old master put on her! That damn bastard's what, some Ghost Flower Academy sect, brainwashed her like this—" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

What is esoteric Buddhism

My eyelid twitched again, it's the secret sect.

If the Great Dao is divided into Yin and Yang, then Esoteric Buddhism can be considered a practice different from the orthodox path.

"Mystery, this single character can feel the extraordinary practice concepts."

There may be good, but there is also evil.

"…Zhang Fatty, I'm giving you one last chance," I said seriously. "I want to save her, not hurt her. She won't die if I catch that snake."

Zhang Fatty was stunned, as if hesitating.

"What's the difference between her now and a vegetable" I pressed on.

"No, no.... I just need to take her back! Just take her back to her master! Then everything will be normal! It happened before—" Zhang Fatty blurted out.

When Jiang Qiyun heard this, his brows rose slightly, and the chain in his sleeve disappeared.

Liu Feifei collapsed in the mud like a deflated ball.

I glanced at Jiang Qiyun, and he nodded slightly.

"Alright, take her." I said firmly. "If you can't save her, come back to me."

Zhang Fatzi was somewhat taken aback, looking at me in disbelief.

"The barrier here has been broken. I'll handle the aftermath myself, you all go, don't get in my way anymore." I waved my hand.

Zhang Fatty immediately pounced beside Liu Feifei, putting Liu Feifei on his back.

He seemed a little afraid I'd change my mind, glancing back at me as he took a step.

Liu Feifei softened against my back, her head suddenly moving slightly, turning her face towards me.

Her eyes were all white, but she squeezed them shut and cracked her mouth open, revealing a terrifying smile.

That shouldn't be a laugh, it's a snake spitting its fangs at me.

"...Zhang Fatty," I couldn't help but whisper.

Zhang Fatzi trembled all over and looked at me warily.

“Let me warn you one last time,” I couldn't help but say. “You, her… tethering yourself to a demon… won’t end well.”

Zhang Fatty let out a ghastly grin: “If anything were to happen to her, I wouldn’t live either. Even if I die, I want to die in front of her.”

"Well, with such twisted infatuation, I won't say much more. Just watch as they crawl out of the hole."

》》》

"Qiyun, isn't the Underworld quite busy" I muttered softly when Jiang Qiyun pulled me up. "There are already seven Ye helping out."

"Do you think I came here especially to save you" Jiang Qiyun glanced at me. "I just happened to arrive at the right time."

Is it time to get off work already It's so late.

"There's also something on the second floor…" I pointed upwards.

Zheng Daozhang didn't know if it was a vengeful spirit or a corpse demon, still hiding in the secret barrier on the upper floor.

Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "Why are you dragging your feet again"

"Um, because the one upstairs gave me some information and didn't harm me, I think I can wait a bit." I answered quietly. "It's an old acquaintance of my mother's, who kept calling out for my mother's name."

Jiang Qiyun's eyes revealed a hint of understanding, and the corner of his lips also curled into a slight smile: "Well, make your own decision."

His laissez-faire attitude was a bit strange, I couldn't quite put my finger on why. It felt like he was just standing there arms crossed watching the students take their test, like a proctor.

I set up a purification altar on the first floor of this underground building, cleansing the centuries-old resentment and blood qi that permeated it. However, Zheng Daochang's hidden barrier on the second floor seemed to remain unaffected. The entire structure still held a strange and secretive aura.

"Father!" You Nan, being escorted by Bai Wu Chang through the floors, saw Jiang Qi Yun and became a little excited.

Jiang Qiyun pulled him off Bai Wu Chang's body, holding him in one hand and asking, "Was it fun"

"Fun!" Younan blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth with both hands and changed her words: "No, no, it's not fun. My mother almost got hurt! These demons are so fierce, they're not afraid of the mage at all."

Jiang Qiyun playfully tapped Bai Wu Chang's forehead, and Bai Wu Chang patted his shoulder and complained to me, "Your Majesty~ Your Highness has eaten too much! I almost can't carry him anymore~."

This… I can hug. How come you, Seventh Uncle, can’t

“Sigh~~~” Bai Wu Chang sighed, “Although Little Emperor is the Son of God, he’s only just officially ascended to the Immortal List. He’s fine now, but what about when he grows up How can he possibly fly around with that much weight~~~~ Why not come cultivate in the Underworld instead Hee hee hee.”

"No." I immediately refused. then said in a low voice, "Perhaps some things are destined. I checked your family background and found that your family had dealt with many cases of 'hysteria' patients. So I guided you to this hosp...
