Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 147 - 147 147 The Fog

147: Chapter 147: The Fog 147: Chapter 147: The Fog This was a land of green mountains and clear waters, with towering continuous peaks and lush vegetation, a breeze blew bringing bursts of the refreshing aroma of grass and trees.

Atop the mountain summit, wrapped in a sea of clouds, Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly observing the churning clouds ahead, unknown thoughts filling his mind.

“Life is like a dream, also like an illusion, morning as dew, evening as a sunset.”

Ye Xuan muttered softly, slowly turning to look at the young boy behind him, his eyes opening and closing in mere indifference.

“Hatred can change a person, it can also drive one mad, have you truly decided to deviate from your sister’s will and become a villain despised by the world?” Ye Xuan whispered.

At that moment,

The boy clung to Gu Xiaoxiao’s corpse, a tragic smile on his face, his voice faltered, “My sister was very kind, but what was the outcome?”

“She’s dead, she has left me forever.”

“Since this world is full of sin, I am willing to be the chief of all evils, to end these sins.” He said resoundingly, decisively, this was the attitude the boy displayed.

“Heh!”

Ye Xuan laughed, but his smile carried a weight of world-weariness that left Gu Beichen unsure why Ye Xuan laughed.

“To become the chief of all evils, you must pay a certain price, and that price might be death.

Are you willing?” Ye Xuan said profoundly, looking straight into the boy’s eyes.

“Absolutely, I’m willing,” said the boy without a hint of hesitation.

“I’m not called Wooden Head, my real name is Ye Xuan, you can call me Mr.

Ye.”

“Right now, you can sleep soundly, when you wake up, you will face an extremely harsh trial.” Ye Xuan flicked his fingers and a stream of blood shot towards the boy, causing him to instantly fall unconscious.

Buzz!

The blood light was hazy, space congealed, Gu Xiaoxiao’s corpse hovered in the void, her kind smile at the moment of death also reflected in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

“Gu Xiaoxiao, you used your own life to help me find my true self, to help me emerge from confusion, I owe you a favor,” Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

Boom!

The Light of Six Paths of Reincarnation rotated, a gate leading to Yama Hell opened, and Ye Xuan’s expression gradually darkened, a deep voice emanating from him.

“Yin Crow!”

“At your service, may I know what Lord Yama commands?” Yin Crow’s voice came from within the gates of Yama Hell.

“Help me check with the Life and Death Book for a person, her name is Gu Xiaoxiao, I need to know if her spirit has entered Fengdu City.”

“I strictly comply with Lord Yama’s Dharma Decree.”

In Fengdu City, Yin Crow rapidly flipped through the Life and Death Book, rows of ancient script fluttering before his eyes until after several moments, Yin Crow’s expression turned startled, and through the open gates of Yama Hell, his shaky voice said, “Report… Reporting to Lord Yama… The person… The person you’re looking for isn’t in Fengdu City.”

“Hmm?”

Back in the Mortal World, Ye Xuan’s expression twitched, his eyes slightly narrowing, a sinister streak crossing his gaze, he stated gravely, “Impossible, the souls of mortals after death enter Yama Hell, it’s the law of Heavenly Dao, how can this person not exist?”

Through the gates of Yama Hell, Yin Crow could distinctly feel Ye Xuan’s discontent, which made him extremely nervous, he said, “Lord Yama, the Life and Death Book records all the souls in Fengdu City, but the person you’re looking for truly isn’t in there.”

Ye Xuan’s expression darkened extremely, his eyes flickered continuously.

He believed Yin Crow wouldn’t dare to deceive him, having implanted a Blood Soul Mark within him, if there was any betrayal, he would definitely be aware of it.

Gu Xiaoxiao had clearly died, so why hadn’t her soul entered Yama Hell?

“Lord Yama, although the souls of mortals are indeed pulled into Yama Hell after death, if someone interferes and detains the soul after death, I fear…” Yin Crow hesitated to speak further.

“You mean to say, someone has detained Gu Xiaoxiao’s soul, which is why she hasn’t entered Yama Hell and isn’t listed in the Life and Death Book?” Ye Xuan’s voice was cold, and he vaguely had a suspicion.

“I dare not say for certain, but it is very likely,” Yin Crow respectfully voiced.

“You may leave now!”

Ye Xuan’s chilling voice rang out as the gates of Yama Hell slowly closed.

At the summit, Ye Xuan gazed in the direction of Duanchang Mountain, his eyes deep and terrifying.

“Primordial Spirit, is it you?” Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

Ye Xuan questioned himself; there was only one person who could possess such means and pay such attention to him—Primordial Spirit.

Ye Xuan also knew that Primordial Spirit had always harbored significant schemes against him, and a shocking battle between them was inevitable, but for now, they hadn’t torn off their masks yet.

Perhaps some might question why Ye Xuan didn’t directly confront Primordial Spirit.

But the fact was, Ye Xuan wasn’t confident—yes, he wasn’t confident.

Why did Ye Xuan want to become an immortal in the Mortal World?

It was because only by becoming immortal could he utilize some of the Forbidden Techniques in the Undying Immortal Scripture.

By then, he would also be confident enough to suppress Primordial Spirit and unveil his schemes.

Ye Xuan was also well aware that Primordial Spirit was wary of him, this wariness stemming from the Heavenly Punishment Halberd.

Unless absolutely necessary, Primordial Spirit also definitely didn’t want to openly conflict with him, which was one of the reasons for their uneasy truce.

“If you truly have detained this girl’s soul, then what do you intend to do?”

“Have you become impatient, finally ready to make your move?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a cruel cold smile emerged from the corners of his mouth.

He gazed in the direction of Duanchang Mountain, a hint of sternness subtly flashing across!

…

A grave mound, piled up with yellow earth,

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, while the young Gu Beichen continuously kowtowed before the grave, his face stained with tears, a profound sadness spreading over the young boy.

“If you’ve cried enough, follow me.”

Ye Xuan walked ahead, letting the young boy take one deep look at his sister’s tomb before he got up and resolutely followed Ye Xuan.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A thousand-foot waterfall, a massive green stone, the huge flow of water fell, continuously beating on the green stone, the thunderous sound of the water vibrating people’s eardrums, causing dizziness and blurred vision.

“I want to cultivate martial arts to avenge my sister.

You just need to impart the cultivation techniques to me, why bring me here?” Looking at the waterfall ahead, Gu Beichen said with a puzzled expression.

Slap!

Suddenly, a loud slap was heard, and the young Gu Beichen’s face showed the red imprint of five fingers, which made him hold his cheek and stare at Ye Xuan in stunned disbelief, unable to believe he had just been harshly slapped.

“You hit me?

How dare you hit me?

You caused my sister’s death, and now you dare to hit me?”

Although Gu Beichen had matured considerably from the death of a loved one, he was still just a teenager at heart, and he had long harbored dissatisfaction with Ye Xuan for not saving his sister.

This slap fully unleashed his pent-up emotions.
