Chapter 368 You've Encountered Now
"What could be different? It's just a small world that suddenly gave birth to the Netherworld and sprouted branches and leaves for us."

The magistrate looked sullen.

Born from the underworld, the Ghost River arrived, and they had no choice but to manage it.

"Isn't the underworld all under your control?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him.

The envoy was about to ask how he knew, but then he shut up.

"You are engulfed in flames, yet you too do not belong to this world."

The magistrate muttered a protest in a low voice.

"I can control the flames, but what about you, the Netherworld?"

Liu Chengfeng said it casually.

The Skin-Peeling Wraith resides within the Heavenly Kingdom, and her power is naturally under his control.

“Some of you took the Ring of the Underworld God, sacrificed it to the Underworld, and created the River of Ghosts.”

The envoy muttered to himself, "Nothing could be more depressing than being reborn into this world."

"The Ring of the Underworld God".

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed; in the Peeling Skin Resentful Woman's knowledge, such a thing existed.

"If it weren't for the vast distance between the universes, it would have been taken back long ago, and this place would have been closed long ago."

The magistrate was dissatisfied.

It's no use saying anything now; Huangcheng has been wiped out in one fell swoop.

"What else is in the Book of Accumulated Ghosts besides the normal records?"

Liu Chengfeng felt this was abnormal. Why would an old man like him need to look at the Book of the Dead? It didn't make sense.

"Does Black Claw count?"

"What Black Claw?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed for an answer.

"I don't know. Perhaps you have some malevolent creatures that have been tainted by the spirits of the underworld or other ominous influences, and they've been recorded in the Book of the Dead."

The palace guards didn't care, because it wasn't their duty, and besides, they didn't belong to this world.

Are there any other special cases?

Liu Chengfeng pressed for an answer.

"It's just a black claw, we're not going to investigate it."

The magistrate told the truth that it was not their business and they didn't care at all.

"Is that all it takes to warrant the destruction of your entire city?"

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, disagreeing.

"There is still one."

The envoy felt it was impossible and thought about it carefully.

"what?"

"There must be a cause and effect. It came into this world, but it only passed through our Book of Life and Death, leaving a trace. Later, it disappeared for some unknown reason."

"Can cause and effect disappear?"

Liu Chengfeng was startled.

"Is this some kind of Dao fruit?"

Liu Chengfeng realized the purpose of Yi Ersan's visit.

"I don't know. At the time, the city lord guessed that some incredibly terrifying being had perished and didn't want to be recorded, so the traces were erased."

"Is it reincarnation or death?"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed.

"I don't know, we're only responsible for extraditing the shadow puppeteers."

The envoys really didn't care. They had long wanted to leave this world, but their duties forced them to stay.

Unexpectedly, this led to utter destruction.

"Cause and effect, the fruit of rebirth?"

A thousand thoughts flashed through Liu Chengfeng's mind.

Liu Chengfeng asked the magistrate other questions, but he knew nothing about most of them.

Despite his immense power here, in their world he's just a beast of burden, unwillingly assigned here.

Just like the cattle and horses assigned to small villages on the frontier, they couldn't wait to go back.

"It's nothing, I'm leaving now. I don't want to get caught by bad guys."

The magistrate, unwilling to linger, was eager to leave, changed his appearance, and hid away.

"In terms of evil, haven't you done enough? What have you done? How did the skinless ghost come about? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Liu Chengfeng gave a cold laugh.

"This is not something your little world has the right to judge!"

The magistrate was immediately displeased, his eyes flashing with a cold light, as if he were destroying hundreds of worlds, which was extremely terrifying.

"What, you want to fight? Go ahead and try."

Liu Chengfeng sneered, his killing intent surging, and flames erupted.

The blazing flames rushed towards him, causing the palace eunuch to feel a sudden tightness in his chest and a sense of unease. He took several steps back.

"We're just doing business; there's no grudge or hatred between us."

The envoy immediately issued a statement to prevent Liu Chengfeng from overturning the table.

"Don't worry, one thing at a time."

Liu Chengfeng did not make things difficult for the palace attendant and let him go.

After the envoy left, he peeled off the human skin and reintegrated into the shadow puppet, and no one could find his whereabouts.

Just as Liu Chengfeng stepped out of the courtyard, Yi Ersan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Shedding Skin Clan wishes to see you."

Yi Ersan was all smiles.

"Aren't you a human trafficker? Why are you running errands for the Skin-Shedding Man's clan?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him.

"Living is not easy. Even cattle and horses have to make a living and earn money. It's not shameful, sir, don't you think?"

Yi Ersan, shameless and with a broad smile, continued.

"Why are you meeting me?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty. With me as the intermediary to guarantee it, there will definitely be no trouble."

Yi Ersan made a solemn vow, patting his chest as a guarantee.

"Is it possible to make money without a conscience?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him.

"Sir, that's a misrepresentation. I don't make money through dishonest means."

Yi Ersan exuded an aura of grandeur.

Liu Chengfeng chuckled. Who would believe such nonsense?

"Sir, would you like to go and meet the sect leader of the Skin-Shedding Man Sect? He possesses a Netherworld God Ring."

"The Ring of Hades?"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed as he stared at Yi Ersan.

"Yes, the Ring of Hades."

Yi Ersan blinked, saying nothing, everything was understood without words.

“Okay, I’ll go see him.” Liu Chengfeng’s eyes shone brightly.

Yi Ersan was busy leading him to the residence of the Skin-Shedding People.

The Shedding People's Mansion is the tallest and largest building in the city, and it is like a city in itself.

The entire Human Clan Mansion is made of black stone, as heavy as a mountain, solemn and dark, making people afraid to approach.

The Peeling People's Clan is said to be even older than the Shadow Puppet Kingdom, having been established after the Peeling Realm appeared.

Why the Shedding People's Clan was established here, and who established it, remains a mystery.

The well-known rumor is that some shadow puppeteers, unwilling to embark on the path to the underworld, shed their human skin and stayed here, establishing the Shrine of the Skin-Shedding People.

The Shedding People Sect has tens of thousands of Shedding People, but no one knows its full strength.

No one who comes here dares to provoke the Skin-Peeling Clan, and the Skin-Peeling Clan has no dealings or interactions with outsiders.

For some reason, the arrival of these important figures from the Heavenly Emperor and the Golden Heaven led them to collude with the Skin-Shedding Man Clan.

The Shedding People's Clan's residence was extremely secure, with every post and sentry post guarded by a Shedding People.

The sight of one skinless person after another, exposing muscles and fascia, would send chills down the spine of anyone who entered this place.

Yi Ersan led Liu Chengfeng into a large hall and then left.

In the dimly lit hall, at the head of the table sat a man whose skin had shed its skin. He was tall and imposing, and his heart was pounding.

In the dim light, the red and shiny heart stood out, making one's heart tremble with unease.

"So you're the head of the White Crane Realm? I heard you're going to rebuild the Mad Dragon Realm."

The voice of the molting man clan leader was low, yet powerful and resonant.

Even if he sits there motionless, concealing his aura, it is as if worlds are pressing down, capable of crushing the entire starry sky.

He was powerful and terrifying; no god in the lower three heavens was worth mentioning in front of him.

“If you’re just here to chat, I don’t need to stay.”

Liu Chengfeng remained unmoved.

The molting human sect leader leaned forward, creating a sense of the sky and earth tilting and shattering, a terrifying sight.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like that."

The voice of the molting man sect leader was terrifyingly cold.

"You've encountered it now."

Liu Chengfeng sneered, unconvinced.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

A chill rises, sealing the heavens and earth, freezing the Milky Way.

"You summoned me here only to kill me?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at it, then turned and left.

“Smart man, I have a deal I’d like to make with you.”

The head of the Shedding Man Sect laughed loudly and invited Liu Chengfeng to come back and sit down. His laughter was more terrifying than crying.

“You have the energy of the underworld, and so do my brothers and I. We are family, don’t you think?”

"Don't try to get close to me. Even if we're family, if you want to do business with me, you'll have to pay up."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

What price are you asking for?

The head of the Shedding Human Clan got straight to the point.

"Then it depends on what kind of deal you want to make!"

“Kill people, kill those who are not ordained by Heaven, those who are above the law.”

The head of the Shedding Human Clan didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Aren't you cooperating?"

Liu Chengfeng found it interesting.

"I won't kill you now, I'll kill you when the Underworld Sea opens. Do you dare?"

"It's not a matter of whether you dare or not. If you want to kill the other party, you can do it yourself. Why do you need me?"

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

"We need your help. Open the Nether Sea and kill them."

"Since you are partners, why kill them?"

"How about we monopolize the Underworld Sea and share it together?"

The shaved-skin man's clan leader spoke in a low voice.

Liu Chengfeng burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

"why are you laughing?"

The head of the molting clan was displeased.

"I laugh at your wild and nonsensical talk. You can fool others, but you think you can fool me? Do you really think I don't know?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered.

"What did you say--"

The shaved-skin man's sect master's eyes blazed brightly, like the sun, enveloping Liu Chengfeng. His killing intent was terrifyingly powerful; a single wisp of killing intent could annihilate the sun, moon, and stars.

"I say you're full of wild and nonsensical nonsense."

Liu Chengfeng gave a cold laugh.

"You've probably mistaken me for someone else. There's no Mad God in my Human Sect."

The molting man sect master stood up, and Liu Chengfeng was enveloped in a dark aura.

"Mad God, if you insist on pretending, then you should find someone else to do it."

Liu Chengfeng gave a cold smile and got straight to the point.

The molting man clan leader stared intently at Liu Chengfeng, as if trying to pierce through him.

Liu Chengfeng looked at him calmly and fearlessly.

"What makes you think I'm the Mad God?"

A moment later, the head of the Peeling Man Sect slowly sat down.

"If you're not the Mad God, then who are you?"

"Anyone could be involved."

"The Netherworld Path is impassable to outsiders. Even if your Mad God lineage were to skin you and transform your bodies, you would not be allowed to pass. If you cannot cross the Netherworld Path, you cannot leave the Skin-Skinning Realm."

"If you're neither a skinner nor a shadow puppeteer, then what are you?"

"Only by shedding his human skin can he find his former self again, but unfortunately, it's too late."

Liu Chengfeng stared at the other party, his imposing manner intimidating.

"You know quite a lot."

Mad God stared at Liu Chengfeng, astonished.

Liu Chengfeng knows far more than just a lot; at this moment, the Heavenly Observer's Eye is right in front of the Mad God. Can he escape his eyes?

"So if you are sincere in doing business with me, then be open and honest."

Liu Chengfeng gave a cold laugh.

"It's still the same deal: open the Underworld Sea, and you help me kill the two ancestors, Huang Jintian and Buyoutian."

"The Mad God said in a deep voice."

"You really think highly of me. What kind of strength do they have? What kind of strength do I have? I'm a two-way celestial being, I can't kill them."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.
