You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 137 Solving the Misty Spirit Realm!

The turbid tide flows in a different direction!

The previous mountain god of Helan Mountain must have been a remnant soul that fell into the turbid tide and mist, and was corrupted and transformed by heretical paths, which is why he became an evil god!

If so...

What about the evil god in Qukou Village, Wucheng?

"wrong!"

"If they were corrupted by heretical paths, then they should have the same turbid mist emanating from their bodies as Zhong Kui's clones... Could it be that the turbid mist heretical paths at that time had not yet fully awakened?"

Chen Yang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on!
Standing to the side, Gu Jinghui asked with some concern, "Old Chen... what do we do now?"

Chen Yang picked up the Zhong Kui statue and said, "What can we do? Even Zhong Kui's clone couldn't eliminate the source of the heretical pollution, so what can a mere patrol captain like me do?"

“That’s not what I’m worried about.”

Gu Jinghui said, "Although the source of the pollution from the Turbid Tide can not be eliminated, as the mountain god of Helan Mountain, I can temporarily suppress it and prevent it from spreading further."

"What I'm worried about are the demons and souls in the turbid mist who have been corrupted and mutated by the heretical path. They have completely lost their minds under the influence of the heretical path. They were alright before... but they are all sleeping in the turbid mist."

"But now we have been alarmed by Zhong Kui Zhenjun, and we may break out of the turbid tide and fog at any moment!"

Chen Yang: "Just kill them, what's there to be afraid of? You are the mountain god of Helan Mountain, ruling over every blade of grass, every tree, and every living being on Helan Mountain. Killing a few heretical demons and wandering souls that are polluting the area shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Killing them is naturally not difficult."

Gu Jinghui smiled wryly, "But this heretical path is too disgusting. It's like a highly contagious virus. I'm afraid that if those corrupted demons and ghosts escape, it will cause the heretical path to spread everywhere."

This is indeed a difficult problem.

Chen Yang pondered for a few seconds and said, "You don't need to worry, I will arrange for Cat Master, Yang Shuai and Ruyi to come to Helan Mountain to support you."

He gave me some more instructions.

Chen Yang then took the Zhong Kui statue and left.

He returned to the funeral home at 1 a.m.

Chen Yang contacted Ruyi and arranged for her and Cat Master to go to Helan Mountain overnight.

Li Ali and Ruyi came to the shop together. She volunteered to go to Helan Mountain to help out.

"You are the strongest ghost messenger under my command. Killing a few demons and souls corrupted by heretical practices is nothing. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Chen Yang said, "I plan to go out for a while to deal with the other eight places of demonic mist in the Great Xia and find a way to open the Yin-Yang Path. You have to stay and help me watch the shop."

Ali accepted the order and stayed at the shop.

After Ruyi and Cat Master left, Chen Yang, who was sitting behind the glass counter on the first floor, flicked his finger, and a gust of cold wind flew out to lower the roller shutter. Then he patted his thigh and laughed, "Ah Li... come on, let me tell you about the prices of the items in the store."

Ali walked gracefully over and sat in Chen Yang's lap.

Chen Yang naturally put his arm around Ali, explaining the prices of the goods in the store to her while simultaneously touching her all over.

After a while, Ali slowly squatted down.

She looked up at Chen Yang, a blush rising on her cheeks, and said alluringly with her red lips, "My lord, let me serve you."

She lowered her head.

Feeling the coolness from Ali's red lips, Chen Yang felt as if he had been electrocuted.

After enjoying himself for a few minutes, Chen Yang picked Li Ali up by the waist and, with a swift movement, transformed into a gust of wind and went up to the second floor.

...............

July 12, 2025, the 7th day of the sixth lunar month, Saturday.

Chen Yang finally got a good night's sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he found Ali already busy in the kitchen.

Chen Yang exclaimed in surprise, "You can actually cook?"

Ali laughed and said, "When I was alive, I was bored in the palace and learned to make pastries from the nanny. After I died, I came to the human world with Ruyi and learned cooking for a while... Ruyi's biggest dream was to open a restaurant in the human world and be her own boss."

Chen Yang asked curiously, "Then why isn't it open? With Ruyi's wealth, opening a shop in the mortal realm would be a piece of cake, right?"

That little money-grubber accumulated gold and silver jewelry by the box!
Ali: "Ruyi did try, but the procedures for opening a shop are too complicated now. You need to get a health certificate and have your blood drawn for tests... Although the Yin body that Ruyi and I condensed using secret methods can take shape in the human world and look no different from ordinary people, it cannot draw blood."

"........."

Chen Yang found it inexplicably funny for a moment.

A fierce female ghost dreams of opening a restaurant and becoming a restaurant owner in the human world, but her dream is thwarted by her inability to provide a health certificate...

Ali quickly prepared breakfast.

Breakfast was simple.

Millet porridge, steamed buns, and a side of pickled vegetables.

Chen Yang took a bite and said, "Did you make this pickled vegetable too?"

Ali: "I bought it at the morning market... Is it not pickled properly?"

"It's a bit too salty." After finishing breakfast, Chen Yang called Jiang He.

"Minister Jiang!"

"Master Chen!"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang He joked, "Master Chen, what brings you to call me today? Is there something you need?"

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "What right do I have to order Minister Jiang around?"

This is true.

Although Jiang He is ostensibly only the minister of the Great Xia "Special Administration Bureau" headquarters, in reality, given the current situation in Great Xia, his status, position, and influence are absolutely number one!
In ancient times, he would be the supreme ruler of the world, the so-called divine right of kings. In terms of status, the ancient emperors would only be higher than Chen Yang, the "Yangshi Inspector"!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yang got straight to the point, talking about Zhong Kui's incarnation descending to earth and his failure to deal with the "turbid tide and strange path" of Helan Mountain.

Jiang He fell silent for a moment.

"Even a powerful being like Zhong Kui struggled to refine the source of the turbid tide's strange path?"

Chen Yang said, "Zhong Kui is only a clone, and because the Yin-Yang path is severed, he only sent a thought to the human world, so his power is not very strong."

Jiang He: "Since Zhong Kui can send his clones into the human world, does that mean other powerful beings in the underworld can do the same?"

"I'm afraid not."

Chen Yang truthfully said, "Zhong Kui paid a considerable price to send this thought to the human world... Moreover, I heard from Lord Cui that after the 'severing of the connection between heaven and earth' was achieved, there is a limit to the power that can descend to the human world, whether it is from heaven or earth. Even though the path between yin and yang is open, I'm afraid we still have to deal with many problems in the human world ourselves."

"we?"

"Minister Jiang, do you perhaps think I came from the bottom?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "First of all, I am a commoner of Great Xia, and only secondly did I become a ghost official of the underworld... Minister Jiang, I plan to deal with the other eight places of demonic mist in Great Xia. If you have time, please lead the way and help me keep things under control."

Rivers and streams cannot obtain what they desire.

"so."

"I'll send you the locations of the other eight places shrouded in ghostly mist. Let me know which one you want to start with, and I'll head over there to wait for you."

Jiang He laughed and said, "It just so happens that I had the local branches find some laws, ghost messengers, and magical artifacts from gods and spirits these days, and I was just planning to send them to you in Wucheng."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was overjoyed!
The underworld officials and deities in the human realm were not all able to withdraw to the underworld in time. The remaining underworld officials and ghost officers died or were injured, and their souls were scattered, because the path between the living and the dead was cut off and their spiritual energy dissipated.

but……

Their laws and magical artifacts will not disappear.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang He quickly sent his location.

Nine places of mysterious spirits were born in the Great Xia Dynasty. The spirit in Wulong Mountain has been dealt with by Chen Yang. The remaining eight places are located in Qiandao Lake in Jiangzhe Prefecture, Shennongjia in Beihu Prefecture, Baiyun Mountain in Guangyue Prefecture, Funiu Mountain in Zhongyu Prefecture, Wuxing Mountain in Beihe Prefecture, Yanshan Mountain in Kyoto Prefecture, the Ili River Valley Plain in Xijiang Prefecture, and Yulong Snow Mountain in Yundian Prefecture.

After a moment's thought, Chen Yang made his choice and sent a message to Jiang He.

"Since Minister Jiang is stationed in Kyoto, shall we head to Yanshan first?"

Jiang He only replied with a single word: "Okay".

...............

The Yanshan Mountains are one of the northern mountain ranges of the Great Xia Dynasty. Its main peak is Wuling Mountain, which is about 2118 meters above sea level. It stretches from Badaling in the west to Shanhaiguan in the east, running in an east-west direction.

Chen Yang rode the wind and arrived at Yanshan before 11 a.m.

He entered the Yanshan Mountains from the territory of Beihe Prefecture, flew over the Chengde Mountain Resort, and soon arrived at the foot of Wuling Mountain, the main peak of the Yanshan Mountains.

This mountain, which was designated as a "nature reserve," is now, as its name suggests, completely shrouded in gray fog.

The area around the mountain has been cordoned off and completely sealed off.

The deep roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the mountains, and there were also some huge animal carcasses and signs of battle at the edge of the mist.

Just as Chen Yang landed, Jiang He, who had arrived at the foot of Wuling Mountain ahead of time, flew over.

"Master Chen!"

"Minister Jiang!"

After exchanging greetings, Jiang He got straight to the point, saying, "Master Chen, I have already ordered people to prepare the altar offerings. When will you begin the ritual to refine the Misty Spirit Realm?"

When Chen Yang was at Wulong Mountain, he set up an altar and offered sacrifices to perform the "Exorcism and Shattering Technique" to communicate the power of the Yin and Yang realms and refine the Misty Spirit Realm.

Jiang He had seen it all before, so he was prepared.

Upon hearing what Jiang He said, Chen Yang wanted to say, "With my current strength, there is no need for such trouble." But since everything was prepared, he couldn't just let Jiang He withdraw it, could he?

Chen Yang said, "I'd like to trouble Minister Jiang to lead the way."

Jiang He said, "Please!"

The two walked north along the foot of the mountain, and soon a small altar came into Chen Yang's view. The altar was extremely exquisite, and it was also engraved with dense Dao patterns and restrictions.

"Master Chen, what do you think of this altar?"

Jiang He laughed and said, "I specially borrowed this from the Master of Lushan Dao!"
