Chapter 564 First Entry into the Ghost Realm 2
Xun Kun pursed his lips in anger, about to summon the Soul Bell within his body to break the formation, but Yun Xi's Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella reacted immediately. Without its master's summoning, it automatically detached from the body and slowly opened above the four people's heads.

Without hesitation, the black dragon on the umbrella swam towards the formation beneath the four people's feet. With just a flick of its tail, it shattered the formation, allowing the four to escape safely.

Yunxi also raised her hand and grasped the handle of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella. She watched the black dragon disappear into the ground, and after a moment, she rolled up the old ghost who had just plotted against them and threw him at the feet of the four of them. Then she stared at the old ghost with a predatory look.

The old ghost was no longer as composed as before; his entire body seemed to have paled slightly, and he knelt trembling before the four people, saying:
"My lord, spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I have offended you greatly. Please forgive this old devil. I will never dare to do it again."

Xun Kun said coldly:
"You don't seem to be the owner of this shop. We don't want to dirty our hands by having your master come and talk to us."

Yunxi is currently communicating with the spirit of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella:
"Obsidian, why are you being so proactive this time? And your attack just now didn't drain my soul power, which makes me very curious."

Obsidian replied calmly:

“Master, you’ve forgotten that I am the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella. I originated from the Nine Netherworld and was made from the dragon bones and scales of a Netherworld Dragon. You will have a greater advantage in battle if you use me in the Ghost Realm.”

"Of course I remember, but your appearance in the cultivation world, and the fact that you are a wind-attribute treasure, makes it easy for me to overlook your origin and the materials used to refine you."

"All dragons in the world can summon wind and rain. Wind is just one of my attributes. The weapon refiner enhanced my wind attribute ability, so the Nine Nether Dragon Umbrella was classified as a wind attribute magic weapon."

Obsidian explained, neither humble nor arrogant.

After hearing this, Yunxi asked:

"Hei Yao, since you come from the Nine Netherworlds, do you wish to revisit your old haunts? Or do you have any wishes? Although I do not know why your original body was captured or why you left the Ghost Realm, if you did not voluntarily become a spirit, there must be a reason. Perhaps I can help you find the answer."

Obsidian was silent for a moment before speaking:
"After I regained consciousness as a spirit, I didn't remember anything before that. I only have memories of when I was a spirit."

You cultivators have said that the past cannot be retrieved. The good and bad of the past are not experiences my spirit, Obsidian, has had. There's no need to pursue them, nor to add unnecessary trouble and worries. The present is good enough.”

After hearing this, Yunxi wanted to give Heiyao a thumbs up. Heiyao's thinking was even more insightful than hers. She was still thinking about returning to the world before she transmigrated after she had achieved success in her cultivation.

"Alright! Since you put it that way, I'll do as you say."

After the old ghost sent a message talisman to the shop owner, Yunxi recalled the black dragon and retrieved the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella into her body.

Without the Black Dragon's intimidation, Old Ghost no longer trembled like a leaf, but he secretly glanced at Yunxi with his three-white eyes.

Han Lian snorted coldly:

"Stop looking, or I'll gouge your eyes out."

The old ghost was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

A moment later, a gaunt man covered in soul artifacts appeared in the shop. He was visibly taken aback when he saw Yun Xi and the other three, then frowned as he glanced at the old ghost lying on the ground pretending to be a quail. Nevertheless, he still politely cupped his hands and said:
"Gentlemen, I wonder if the old ghost in the shop has done something wrong to displease your four distinguished guests?"

Xun Kun said in a deep voice:
"Your men tricked us into going up to the second floor and then activated an evil array to absorb our soul power. Were you aware of this?"

"Isn't there some misunderstanding? Old Ghost has been at 'Thousand Treasures Pavilion' for quite a few years, and this is the first time he's heard of this."

The shop owner clearly trusted Lao Gui more.

Upon seeing this, the old ghost immediately cried out that he was innocent:
"Young master, you must save Old Ghost! They forced their way into the 'Thousand Treasures Pavilion,' and I was no match for them, which is why I contacted you. They're trying to extort money from me."

Before he could finish speaking, Xun Kun silenced him by sealing his mouth.

The thin man frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

Yunxi subtly pursed her lips and said:

"What's your name, shop owner?"

"My name is Rong Le."

"Rong Le shop owner, is it possible that the old ghosts target new ghosts without any backing, so that they can seize the soul power without arousing suspicion? After all, 'Qianbaoge' is a well-known shop that can be relied upon by him."

He's the one who benefits, and 'Qianbaoge' will be the one to take the blame in the end. This approach is entirely beneficial to him." Old Ghost's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he immediately started whimpering, clearly denying Yunxi's words.

Rong Le said calmly:
"If what you say can be proven true, I will naturally deal with this old devil and apologize to everyone."

Yunxi continued with a smile:

"Actually, all it takes to prove whether what I said is right or not is a soul search."

Rong Le frowned and refused:
"This method is forbidden in the Ghost Realm."

"Oh! That's easy. My friend can just say it himself. Shopkeeper Rong Le will want to hear it."

Rong Le's eyes flashed, and he nodded, saying:
"Alright, I'd like to hear what this old devil has been doing behind my back. But if the old devil is innocent, how do the four of you intend to compensate for the shops you've damaged?"

Rong Le countered with a question.

Yunxi thought for a moment and then held the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella in her palm, saying:
"Having just entered the Ghost Realm, I haven't had time to exchange for Soul Stones yet. If I cannot prove what the old ghost did, I will compensate you with this magic artifact."

After the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella appeared, Rong Le's eyes were glued to it. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he asked again:

"you sure?"

"nature."

"Okay, let's get started!"

"Wait a minute!"

Han Lian stopped her with a cold face.

Rong Le then looked at Han Lian and asked impatiently:

"Aren't you two together? How come you have different opinions?"

Han Lian slapped the counter beside her and snorted coldly:

"Are you the only clever ghost in this ghost realm? We've placed a huge bet, and if we lose to you, you'll be the one who benefits the most. And what about you? If we're not wrong, what compensation will you offer? You're not just going to try and fool us with some nonsense, are you?"

“Amitabha! Young Master Rong Le, you are being rather unethical.”

Rong Le, annoyed by Han Lian and Yun Chen's teasing, said:
"Qianbaoge operates with integrity. If that old ghost really did such a despicable thing and ruined the reputation of Qianbaoge, you can take whatever you want from this store."

"Young Master Rongle is magnanimous."

Xun Kun said something indifferently, then summoned the Soul Bell into his hand and shook it in front of the old ghost.

A series of inaudible bell sounds emanated from the Soul Bell, rippling outwards like waves, pushing towards the old ghost.

After the old ghost's initial resistance turned into calm, Xun Kun finally said in a deep voice:

"Old Ghost, tell me what happened when you met those four distinguished guests today."

"Yes, four new ghosts who recently entered the Ghost Realm came to visit today. Moreover, their soul power is very solid. The old ghost was very envious, so he invited them up to the second floor and activated the 'Soul Absorption Array'."

As Lao Gui recounted the story, Rong Le's face turned incredibly ugly, and he almost lost his composure.

After Xun Kun collected the soul bell, the old ghost immediately realized what was happening. He said with a long face:
"Young master, Old Ghost has been controlled; what he said just now wasn't true."

Rong Le coughed lightly, still trying to salvage the situation, but Yun Xi smiled and said:

“Young Master Rong Le, don’t rush to deny it for him. I still have evidence.”
