Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 262 A Familiar Feeling (Part 2)
Sending them to the underworld? Xie Weiqi stared at Yang Nianqing in shock. This Miss Yang could actually open the entrance to the underworld and send souls there?

He's lived to such an old age and has never seen a cultivator with this ability. Is the Celestial Master realm really that powerful?
Yang Nianqing then set up a formation nearby to summon the Black and White Impermanence.

Xie Weiqi watched from the side, clicking his tongue in amazement. These talismans would be worth a fortune in the cultivation world, and they just used them like that? The Celestial Master realm is indeed rich and powerful!

With everything prepared, Yang Nianqing sat cross-legged and placed his hand on a spirit stone in front of him. He released his spiritual power, and several spirit stones were connected. The formation slowly lit up, and the ghost-catching bag in the middle of the formation was opened. One lucky star after another jumped out, and one after another, magical birds flew out from the cracked lucky stars.

"Chirp!!!" The artifact birds were both surprised and furious when they came out. They flapped their wings to create a violent wind, but it had no effect. No matter how they launched wind blades, they could not damage the formation.

The birds were trapped in the formation and flew around erratically.

Yang Nianqing, with a clear mind and devout heart, began reciting the *Supreme Mysterious Treasure Sutra of Salvation from Suffering* for the Bird Clan: "The ten directions of heavenly venerables, their number like sands of dust, manifest in the ten directions, universally saving heavenly beings and humans. They gather merit and virtue, their voices united in saving sinful souls. Sinful souls are truly pitiful; I now speak this wondrous sutra. Recite without rest, return without pause. Enjoy great blessings in heaven, hear no cries of suffering in hell. The fiery darkness becomes a clear sky, the sword tree transforms into a soaring dragon. Ascend to the Vermilion Mausoleum, descend to the Gate of Opening Light. Transcend the suffering of the Three Realms, ascend directly to the Primordial Heaven…"

Every word she uttered transformed into golden incantations, merging into the array. The bird clan, initially struggling, gradually quieted down. Each bird folded its wings and crouched quietly within the array. Gradually, the bloodstains on the birds faded, revealing their originally beautiful blue feathers.

After reciting it three times, Yang Nianqing stopped. The malevolent aura and ferocity of the Qi Bird Clan in front of him had been purified one by one. Yang Nianqing smiled and prepared to send the Qi Bird Clan into the underworld to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Lianye took a step forward, stunned, her face filled with disbelief. The Weapon Bird Clan had been purified so easily! What about all their years of perseverance? If only she had let go of her prejudice against humans sooner, and sought out a reliable human cultivator sooner, would the Weapon Bird Clan have been saved sooner? Would their demon race not have ended up like this? Wouldn't so many lives have been lost? Wouldn't she and Lianduo not be separated by life and death like this today?

But how can everything in this world go as you wish?

Yang Nianqing activated the summoning array, which lit up. Before long, a chilling mist dissipated, revealing the Yin energy of the Underworld.

Gu Tangtang and Fan Meini rubbed their arms. Why did they suddenly feel so cold?
The others were seeing this for the first time, but Xu Anyu was no stranger to this scene. He nervously swallowed, thinking that the Black and White Impermanence must be about to appear.

Sure enough, not long after, two figures suddenly appeared in the fog. When the fog dissipated, everyone saw that one was tall and slender, dressed in white, with a tall hat on his head that read "May you see wealth in your lifetime," and the other was short and stout, dressed in black, with a tall hat on his head that read "Peace Under Heaven."

It is clearly the image of the Black and White Impermanence from Chinese mythology.

She actually summoned the Black and White Impermanence! Xie Weiqi originally thought that Yang Nianqing would only summon ordinary ghost messengers when she opened the Underworld, but he never expected to summon the Black and White Impermanence! This is too amazing. Just who is this Qingqing who just joined the group?
The moment the Black and White Impermanence appeared in the magic circle, they sensed a familiar aura. They wondered who else could summon them besides that girl, and who else could summon them in return? Who else could it be but that little genius from the Gu family?
Everyone else was speechless with shock; this was the Black and White Impermanence, something only seen in mythology!
"Little girl from the Gu family! Long time no see! What brings you here?" Black Impermanence patted his belly and said casually.

Yang Nianqing bowed to the two men with the respect due to an elder and said, "Seventh Master and Eighth Master, it's been a long time. My ancestor asked me to convey his greetings to you."

Bai Wuchang stepped forward and said, "It's been many years since I've seen him. Isn't it time for your ancestor to come out of seclusion?"

Yang Nianqing nodded. "It'll be soon. I invited Seventh Master and Eighth Master here this time because I need your help with something." Yang Nianqing straightened up and led the Black and White Impermanence's gaze toward the bird-like creatures within the formation.

What came into view was a beautiful blue bird, but the bird's thick, human-like eyes looked somewhat terrifying.

Black Impermanence and White Impermanence exchanged a glance. These are Vessel Birds? It has been a long time since they have seen the souls of the Vessel Bird clan. The last time was more than three hundred years ago. At that time, that Vessel Bird was the last one of the Vessel Bird clan. They thought that the Vessel Bird clan had long since disappeared from the world and all their souls had been scattered. They never expected to see so many Vessel Bird souls here!

What's going on? This time, Black and White Impermanence carefully observed their surroundings. Why are there traces of a broken seal in this place? Was this seal left by the demon race? Black and White Impermanence glanced towards the edge of the town.

There was even a barrier that was clearly set up by the demon race! The Black and White Impermanence keenly sensed that something was wrong. The White Impermanence took out the record book of the underworld and looked at it. The pages fluttered like flowers. The White Impermanence snapped the book shut. In nearly a thousand years, not a single ghost had been led away from Huaiqing City.

This is equivalent to someone erasing Huaiqing City from the records of the underworld!
"Who dares to be so bold? Where does this leave the underworld?!" Bai Wuchang said coldly. Although the underworld cannot govern the vast human world, this behavior shows a great disregard for the underworld.

There was a reason for this, and so many years have passed. The demons who participated back then have paid the price they deserved. Now, only Lianye and Lianduo remain. They are doing their best to protect the people of this town. Although some people are still killed by those evil spirits, Lianye and Lianduo have not suffered any good results either. Moreover, the sin is not entirely theirs. Lianye and Lianduo will naturally atone for the karma they have to repay in the future. There is no need to blame them too much now.

Yang Nianqing briefly explained the cause and effect: "Their original intention was only to save the Weapon Birds that had been kind to them. They did not expect to attract so many evil spirits that eat flesh and blood and devour souls. It was fate that played a trick on them. They have already paid the price they should pay. Now, please ask Seventh Master and Eighth Master to take the Weapon Bird clan back to the Underworld. Their current situation should allow them to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, right?"

The Black and White Impermanence glanced at the lotus leaf. Erasing Huaiqing City from the Underworld was definitely not something that one or two demons could do. Now, all those demons had left was this one twin flower spirit. The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a look and decided to turn a blind eye and not pursue the matter further.

Bai Wuchang nodded and said, "Since it was the many demons who brought this life to the Weapon Bird Clan, and they are currently free of resentment and hostility, they can certainly enter the cycle of reincarnation. As for that thing, remove the seal and barrier here. Considering the matter of Huaiqing City, and the fact that the Gu family's little girl and your original intention was to save the Weapon Bird Clan, we will turn a blind eye to it today. We hope that you will do good deeds and accumulate merit in the future to atone for your actions."

I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. Although the demons who sealed Huaiqing City did not kill anyone with their own hands, it is undeniable that if they had not sealed Huaiqing City, so many evil spirits would not have gathered here, and so many people would not have been killed by the evil spirits. They also bear some responsibility for the deaths of those innocent people.

Lianye nodded earnestly, "I will, thank you both for your magnanimity." The Black and White Impermanence stared at her for a while, and seeing that the twin flowers were serious and didn't seem to be faking it, they responded and stopped looking at her.

At this moment, Bai Wuchang's nostrils twitched twice, and he looked in a certain direction with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" Black Impermanence asked in confusion.

White Impermanence sniffed the air twice more. "Can you sense it? An unusual ghostly aura?"

Black Impermanence looked around with a head full of question marks. Although the evil spirits here had been eliminated by Yang Nianqing and the others, there was still ghostly energy that had not yet dissipated. Wasn't it normal to feel ghostly energy?
“They’re everywhere, what’s unusual about them?”

No, that's not right! It's not from those ghosts that have already turned to ashes. This aura is so powerful. Although he sensed it for a moment, this aura is definitely not from those ghosts. Could it be that some powerful evil spirit has returned to Huaiqing City?

"Are you exhausted from handling official business? Don't worry, I'll help you with it when we get back!" Black Impermanence patted White Impermanence on the shoulder to comfort him.

White Impermanence glanced at him, wondering why he was tired. It was because Black Impermanence, this simple-minded but physically strong guy, had dumped all the paperwork he needed to handle onto him.

Bai Wuchang sniffed the air around him again, and was surprised—the aura was gone! Was it really just his imagination? Was he misled by the ghostly aura of these ghosts who had already turned to ashes?

Without thinking any further, Yang Nianqing took two more bags and handed them to the Black and White Impermanence: "Seventh Master and Eighth Master, please take the ghosts in these bags back to the Underworld as well."

Black Impermanence took the bag, somewhat puzzled. Why were there more ghosts asking them to take back to the underworld? Black Impermanence opened it and looked inside. "Wow, quite a few. What's going on?"

"They were found in an abandoned hospital. They were all evil spirits transformed from wandering ghosts. If left unattended, they would surely cause great disaster in the future, so we took them all in. Some of them have already committed murder. Seventh Master and Eighth Master, take them to the underworld to be dealt with according to the law." Yang Nianqing looked at the two bags. In the end, these ghosts still had a chance to be saved. After being punished in hell for a period of time, they could be reincarnated.

Distracted by Yang Nianqing, Bai Wuchang forgot to continue investigating the ghostly aura and, together with Hei Wuchang, released all the ghosts from the lucky stars. Hei Wuchang then used the Soul-Locking Chains to bind them one by one.

The Black and White Impermanence also noticed Xu Nuofei, who looked exactly like Yang Nianqing. They briefly greeted the Xu family and decided to leave. The sun was about to rise, and the Weapon Bird Clan had just regained their senses and were very fragile. They could not withstand the first rays of sunlight.

Bai Wuchang's gaze swept past Fan Ruichen, then shifted back to him. This man was Gu Jia's little girl's boyfriend, and it wasn't the first time they'd met. In fact, Gu Jia's little girl had even charged them an extra spirit-nurturing stone to help her boyfriend stabilize his supernatural abilities. But this man's ability was growing in a strange way. He seemed perfectly normal the last time they met, so why did he feel something odd about this man's ability now? And why did he feel a sense of familiarity about this man?

"What familiar feeling?" Black Impermanence asked in confusion.

Unbeknownst to him, he had blurted out what was on his mind: "It's nothing..."

"Then let's hurry up and go, time waits for no one." Black Impermanence said, looking at the orange light on the distant horizon. As he spoke, he tugged at the Soul-Locking Chain, telling the ghosts on the chain that he had embarked on his journey to the Underworld.

Bai Wuchang looked back at Fan Ruichen one last time, then said nothing and led the ghosts of the Qi Niao clan back to the underworld.

The birds all made a gesture towards Yang Nianqing, Lianye, and the others. They spread their wings and extended their left wing forward, as if in salute.

The next instant, they all disappeared into the formation. At that moment, the first rays of the morning sun shone in. It was a beautiful day, and Yang Nianqing was in a good mood. She looked at the lotus leaves that were suddenly bursting into tears of joy and asked, "What are they saying?"

Lianye wiped away her tears. She had been so rude today, crying several times in front of so many people. Lianye looked in the direction where the Black and White Impermanence Bird Clan had disappeared and smiled, "They said, thank you!"

At least their persistence paid off, and the Bird Clan was saved after all. That's enough. For the rest of their lives, they will do more good deeds and accumulate merit. No matter what, it is their demon race that has wronged those who died unjustly.

"Thank you..." Yang Nianqing murmured, then smiled happily. The bird was indeed grateful; the rescue was worthwhile.

Fan Ruichen stared darkly in the direction where the Black and White Impermanence had disappeared. A familiar feeling? Was it familiarity with the evil spirits of the eighteen levels of hell?
He didn't know the Black and White Impermanence much in this life, but he was very familiar with them. After all, during the years he spent in the eighteenth level of hell, the people he had the most contact with besides the ghost messengers under his command were the Black and White Impermanence.

He wasn't directly reborn in this life, but it was almost like one. His past self subtly influenced his present self. Otherwise, given his personality at 21, he would have truly lost Yang Nianqing. He is now incredibly grateful for this extraordinary encounter. In his current state, it can be said that his past self and his present self have merged.

While regaining his memories, his superpower also carried some characteristics from his previous life. In this life, his superpower carried a bit of yin energy. The unusual ghostly energy that Bai Wuchang sensed should have been emanating from him. As his superpower advanced, it seemed that some of his abilities from his previous life had returned.

Fan Ruichen looked at his hand and gripped it tightly. No matter what, nothing and no one in this life could separate him and Qingqing—not death, and certainly not the underworld!
