Chapter 570 Skills are not as good as others

Li Ze scoffed, interrupting his subordinate, while Yun Xi merely curled her lips and said:
"If you're not as skilled as others, you have to admit it!"

The ghost soldier was so angry his face turned black. Before he could say anything, the Black and White Impermanence stepped forward and said:

"Ranxi, don't be angry. It was indeed our oversight that led us to target you. We never expected that the person behind the scenes would set their sights on you."

Judge Cui already knows about what happened here. He sent us brothers here to take you to the court for the trial.

Yunxi was still giving them face, and immediately softened her tone, saying:

"Then I'll have to trouble you four ghost messengers."

Afterwards, Yunxi and the other three followed Hei Bai Wuchang and left the ruined Wanyuanzhai.

After they left, the ghost soldier who had been scolded earlier finally spoke:

"Captain, they're so arrogant! How dare they say we're inferior!"

Li Ze frowned and said:
"They have the right to be arrogant. They are the only ones to have escaped the Soul Absorption Array so far. We are indeed inferior to them in skill."

Her attack struck directly at the heart of the matter, likely injuring the person behind it all. You yourself mentioned that her ultimate move injured ordinary ghost cultivators, preventing even us from getting close. She did this to prevent any ghost cultivators from launching a sneak attack from behind.

At this point, his eyes flashed, and he immediately gave the order:
“Go and lock up all the ghost cultivators who were attacked near Wanyuanzhai. There must be a backup plan set up by the mastermind behind this. I almost overlooked it.”

"Yes, Captain!"

The ghost soldier immediately took his two companions to carry out the task.

"Captain, what do you think of this? Will the Underworld really use them as bait?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it's just a coincidence. But to go to such lengths to set up a soul-absorbing array just for these four people feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It's a bit of a surprise to me."

It's important to know that setting up and activating a formation both take time.

"Let's first check when the formation was set up?"

"Yes!"

The subordinates received the order and went to search for clues.

On the other side, Yunxi and her group walked silently on their way to the court, while Yunxi's consciousness had already entered the space and logged into the space chat group.

Among her group members is a "Ox-Head and Horse-Face" (a derogatory term for a ghost), who must be a ghost messenger from the underworld. This person gave her the "Soul Refining Technique," and she wants to contact him to see if she can get some help.

The chat group's screen flickered and showed that "Fleeting Clouds" was online. She first sent a private message to "Ox-Head and Horse-Face" to ask if the other party was free.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: Little Yunyan, you're lucky. I just logged in and you were already online.

Yunxi: I am currently in the Ghost Realm.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: You've switched to the path of ghosts? Who drove you to this point?

The other side was clearly very curious about Yunxi's experience. Everyone in the group knew that the newly joined Xiaoyunyan was a cultivator in the cultivation world.

Yunxi: My companion and I were ambushed and had to enter the Ghost Realm to return to the Cultivation World via the Underworld. However, we were ambushed again here, and my companion had a wisp of his soul extracted. I don't know what the person behind this is planning, so I went online to ask a senior.

The other party remained silent for quite a while this time, probably to investigate. Yunxi didn't urge them, but waited silently, guessing the other party's identity in the Ghost Realm.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: Where are you now?
Yunxi: On the way to the court hearing.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: You go first, I will send my men to meet you.

Yunxi: Thank you for your trouble.

She then decisively withdrew her consciousness, because they had successfully arrived at the Judge's Court.

Judge Cui received the news earlier. Looking at the four people with grim expressions, he was also somewhat troubled. It seemed like one problem after another was arising. He was practically splitting himself in two to handle his current affairs, yet unexpected events kept happening. "Judge Cui, according to our previous agreement, we'll help you clean up the mess on Weilan Star. In return, you'll allow us to travel through the Underworld back to the Weiyu Realm."

We have done everything we were supposed to do. We understand you are busy and have waited a few days.

But it seems we are not being taken seriously and have been ambushed one after another. Now, one of my companions has even had a wisp of his soul forcibly extracted. You should understand the seriousness of the situation.

"We are not ghosts waiting to be reincarnated. This time, the enemy has gathered the soul power of Tao, Demon, and Buddha. What do you think the person behind this is going to such lengths to do?"

Although Yunxi was angry, she still expressed her suspicions in a reasonable and well-founded manner. Sometimes, those involved are confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Moreover, based on her experience of dealing with evil cultivators for so long, the other party would definitely not do anything in vain.

Judge Cui's expression changed upon hearing Yun Xi's words. He looked at Yun Xi and said:

"All four of you have had a wisp of your soul power extracted?"

"Except for me, they all got infected."

Yunxi replied coldly, explaining that she had escaped because of the golden immortal armor.

"This"

Judge Cui was not able to make a judgment immediately, but he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

At that moment, Judge Cui paused, immediately stood up from his chair, and respectfully looked towards the door.

The next instant, a tall figure appeared in the hall, taking only two breaths to materialize from nothingness, and Judge Cui had already begun to bow:

"This humble official greets the Chief Yama."

Upon seeing that a powerful figure had arrived, Yunxi also stood up and, together with her companion, bowed respectfully.
"Junior Ranxi (Hanlian, Yunchen, Xunkun) greets Lord Yama."

The First Lord of the Underworld's large, bell-like eyes swept over the four people, finally fixing his gaze on Yun Xi, and then he said in a loud voice:
"Are you cultivators who intend to use the Netherworld as a route back to the Weiyu Realm?"

"Yes."

Judge Cui, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and said:

"Lord Yama, I am already handling this matter."

The First King of Hell, with a cold expression, said:
"Hmph! You've already dealt with it? And you even let them lose a wisp of their soul. What kind of work are you doing? They are living souls. Do you know what the consequences are if their souls are lost?"

Cold sweat instantly beaded on Judge Cui's forehead, and he lowered his head even further, but dared not utter a word.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, the First King Yama swept Yunxi and the other three into his sleeve, then said with a dark face:

"You guys are really something, making me clean up your mess. Once you've found out the truth, report the results to me immediately."

After saying that, he disappeared into the lobby.

After a long while, Judge Cui straightened up and slowly walked back to his seat, looking as if all his strength had been drained. Then he gave orders to Black and White Impermanence and Ox-Head and Horse-Face to assist the City Patrol Division in investigating the matter of the Soul-Absorbing Array being set up at Wanyuanzhai.

Half a day later, Li Ze came to the judge's office to report back.

"Judge Cui, the Soul Absorption Array of Wanyuanzhai was not set up in advance. Instead, it was set up by a master in the air above Wanyuanzhai. After confirming that Ranxi and the other three had stayed in Wanyuanzhai for a long time, the Soul Absorption Array was activated unexpectedly."

"It was only because Fellow Daoist Ranxi's natal magic weapon was of the lightning attribute that the Soul-Absorbing Array was able to be destroyed in time. However, this also destroyed Wanyuanzhai and even affected innocent ghost cultivators."

Judge Cui waved his hand and said:

"None of that matters. What I want to know is, have you captured the person who activated the formation?"

"Not yet."

"Do you have a target?"

"The Melody of Qianbaoge!"
