Chapter 730: Chapter 324: Invading the Underworld_2

Lady Lingsu said, "The master does not allow you to enter Yuan Chen Palace, you cannot go in. Only useless ghost creatures like Yaksha can come and go."

Chen Shi stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I am Little Ten, I’ve come to see you!"

There was no response from inside, only those beautiful women made of paper looked over one after another. One of the women said, "The master here has never returned. If you have business..."

Lady Lingsu took out a Prohibition Talisman, pasted it on the door, and stepped into this Yuan Chen Palace.

Chen Shi examined this Prohibition Talisman; besides the talismanic script, there was also a seal, it was ghost script. Chen Shi, now in the form of a Ghost God, found viewing the ghost script overwhelming and could not make out what was written on it.

He followed Black Pot into Yuan Chen Palace; the palace was full of girls, although knowing they were paper people, it was still dizzying.

Among them were also some kind-looking old ladies, who were very warm to Chen Shi, who thought to himself, "I also burned these."

On Grandpa’s Treasure Tree, golden ingots had already been hung, evidently Chen Shi, Chen Tang, and Chen Wu all burned much paper money.

As for the pavilions and towers within Yuan Chen Palace, they were all burned for Chen Yindou by Chen Shi and others, and when they arrived at Yuan Chen Palace, they turned into real pavilions and towers.

Lady Lingsu saw that Yuan Chen Palace was filled with beauties, young, middle-aged, and old, and couldn’t help but angrily ask, "Chen Shi, did you burn these for him?"

Chen Shi blushed, "My dad also burned some, and so did my fifth uncle, so not all of it was burned by me..."

"You all are just indulging him!"

Lady Lingsu came to the Treasure Tree, looked carefully, and said, "He hasn’t returned. There’s no sign of the paper money being used. Strange, where did the dead ghost run off to?"

She couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, thinking that since Chen Yindou had died, they could be a pair of mandarin ducks, unexpectedly still alone.

Chen Shi muttered, "Why hasn’t Grandpa returned to Yuan Chen Palace?"

He couldn’t help but start worrying that his grandpa, being old and having many enemies, might have encountered danger in the underworld?

He was anxious, fearing Grandpa’s past misdeeds might lead to him being bullied and beaten by ghosts and gods in the underworld.

Perhaps the old man is right now held captive by a certain Ghost God, being tortured!

"Chen Shi, return, the underworld is dangerous; you, a living person, are not suitable to stay long."

Lady Lingsu, unable to find Chen Yindou, sighed and said, "The Young Master already knows you’ve arrived at Immortal City, prepared with Heaven and Earth Net, if you insist on going, you will only be captured by him."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "My mother is trapped, can I stand by idly as her son? Even if it means risking my life, I have to try!"

Lady Lingsu slightly frowned, and said, "You do not realize how powerful the Young Master is; going rashly is just courting death."

Chen Shi asked for advice, "Could Lady Lingsu tell me about the Young Master’s background?"

Lady Lingsu hesitated for a moment and said, "It might be best to make you give up. The Young Master is surnamed Wei, named Yue. His father is called Wei Ling, a Judge in the underworld, with a high position.

"Wei Ling was a deity of incense, unable to have children, no descendants; once a female cultivator surnamed Yan ventured into the underworld and faced danger, just as Wei Ling was patrolling and saved that woman. The two thus fell in love, becoming husband and wife.

"However, the woman was a living person, unable to survive in the underworld, had to part with him. After returning to the mortal world, the woman gave birth to a son, named Wei Yue.

"Wei Yue, being a son of a Ghost God, can traverse the Yin Yang Two Realms. He has considerable influence in the underworld, has become a Yin Commander, and coupled with his father’s connections, is therefore called the Young Master."

Chen Shi slightly hesitated and asked, "Is the Young Master’s mother a Yan? Is she related to the Yan Family among the Thirteen Families?"

Lady Lingsu laughed and said, "There are many with the surname Yan in the world; not every Yan is related to the Yan Family. However, there is indeed rumor that the Young Master’s mother comes from the Yan Family."

Chen Shi was slightly shaken in his heart and said, "Could it be possible that the peril the woman surnamed Yan faced and the serendipitous encounter with Wei Ling Judge, leading to their affection, was all orchestrated by the Yan Family? Could the Yan Family’s purpose have been to connect with Wei Ling Judge, and let Wei Yue become the Yin Commander?"

Lady Lingsu said, "You are overthinking things too much! Why would the Yan Family orchestrate such matters? The underworld is not like the mortal world, what good would that do?"

Chen Shi contemplated and said, "With the Young Master’s status, the Yan Family could have its power in the underworld, gather its masters after death, and have its own domain..."

Lady Lingsu laughed and said, "Even without the Young Master’s status, masters of the Yan Family after death are still masters in the underworld. As for needing the Young Master’s status? The Thirteen Families, are major clans both in the mortal world and the underworld! In their clan, those who have cultivated the Primordial Spirit are countless, there’s no need to painstakingly scheme for a Young Master’s status."

Chen Shi pondered for a moment, indeed this made sense.

But the story of a woman surnamed Yan entering the underworld, falling for an underworld judge, and bearing a son seemed too legendary, legendary to the point of disbelief.

Chen Shi set aside the matter first, and laughed, "Then what is Lady Lingsu’s identity in the underworld?"

Lady Lingsu hesitated, sighed, and said, "I held some position in the Heavenly Master Mansion, and after death possessed divinity, therefore I hold a high status in the underworld, even Ghost Gods must show respect. But in this matter, I cannot help you. Chen Shi, return early."

She left Yuan Chen Palace, got onto the Bone Dragon Treasure Chariot, glanced at the door side, and ordered the driver to depart.

After she rode far, a boat woman manifested at the door side, watching her leave.
