Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Amidst joyous cheers, the panic caused by the "Blue and White Duo" came to an end.

With the news that the two evil spirits had been suppressed by the two palace masters, the Yin Yin Domain ushered in a long-awaited celebration.

Corrupt officials cheered with joy, while ordinary bureaucrats secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

People in officialdom like to follow the rules. Whether they are honest or corrupt officials, no one likes someone like the "Blue and White Duo" who doesn't follow the rules.

Even though everyone knows that the "Blue and White Duo" never attacked ordinary people, but only targeted those heartless and reckless officials, it doesn't change their fear and anger towards these two madmen.

A person who enjoys killing and burying corpses and completely disregards rules is destined to inspire fear.

Even among ordinary people who are the beneficiaries of the system, only a very small minority support the "Blue and White Duo," regarding them as heroes who rid the people of evil.

Most people follow the herd mentality and regard the Blue and White Duo as evil spirits.

Even though the two madmen had been "captured," the Yin Yin Domain remained shrouded in "blue and white terror" for a long time.

Because of the rampant and reckless behavior of the "Blue and White Duo," the Yin-Yang Domain has been terrified of the word "bandit" over the past year.

Whether they were officials of the Great Spirit Empire or ordinary people of the Yin Yin Domain, they all longed for stability and harbored deep resentment towards the bandits who occupied the mountains and rivers.

With the will of the people and the unity of purpose, the suppression of bandits has become an inevitable trend.

Riding this wave of momentum, Bai Ling, in the name of the Palace Master of the Five Spirits Academy, rallied all forces, large and small, in the Yin Extreme Domain to organize a massive anti-bandit operation.

With the two palace masters of the Five Spirits Academy taking the lead, various lords responded enthusiastically, and the people cheered in unison.

The momentum intensified, and it soon escalated into a sweeping operation that engulfed the entire Yin-Yang domain.

Even those feudal lords and warlords who originally harbored bandits in the Yin Yin Domain have transformed into the main force in suppressing bandits.

As the focus of Bai Ling and Li Yin's attention, these feudal lords and warlords suffered heavy casualties, and the older generation of rulers perished one after another.

Most of the newly appointed successors are busy with power struggles, and internal turmoil continues within their factions.

At this critical moment, with Bai Ling and Li Yin overseeing the Yin-Yang Domain, they had absolutely no desire to be associated with bandits.

These forces dared not be angry or speak out. They immediately distanced themselves from the bandits and took the initiative to act as the main force in suppressing the bandits, in order to prove their loyalty to the empire and their support for the two palace masters.

In just one year, more than 3,000 bandit strongholds and river bandit gathering places were wiped out, and the security level of Yinji region rose sharply.

In the years that followed, under the guidance of the Five Spirits Academy, the feudal lords and local warlords temporarily set aside their conflicts and turned their attention to bandits in various places.

The feudal lords organized armies to suppress bandits, and local forces set up post stations and checkpoints at various passages, with the common people responsible for reporting and observing.

As soon as any trace of bandits is discovered, it will be reported up the chain of command immediately, and local officials will organize nearby troops to suppress them.

For a time, the mountain bandits and river bandits of the Yin-Yang Domain were all in danger, and one after another large mountain strongholds disbanded on the spot, and the people became law-abiding citizens in the vicinity.

After several years of back and forth, the gloom that had shrouded the Yin-Yang Domain was finally swept away.

Mountain bandits and river bandits disappeared, people's lives gradually stabilized, and the vast Yin region once again returned to an era of peace and prosperity.

……

The year 295 in the Gregorian calendar.

In the eastern part of the Starfall Continent, lies Wangxing City.

The sky was exceptionally dark tonight, and by late afternoon, the road beneath one's feet was already obscured.

Dark, heavy clouds pressed almost directly over the city walls, threatening a downpour at any moment.

The people on the street hurried home, and even the patrol officers were dismissed early and rushed home.

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed across the inky sky, followed by the roar of thunder.

The world lit up for a moment, then dimmed again.

The raindrops fell from the sky with a pattering sound, as if a huge hole had appeared in the sky, and the rainwater was pouring down from the hole.

In a short while, two streams formed on both sides of the street.

At the end of the street are two old mansions.

Rainwater meandered down the green tiles of the roof, forming a dark white curtain of water at the eaves.

Between the two mansions is an alley about two meters wide.

The rain was getting heavier, hitting the ground and splashing up to knee-high water droplets.

The rushing water drowned out all other sounds in the world and even muffled the noise in the alley.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The arrow pierced the air, but the torrential rain affected its trajectory, causing it to fall into the puddles in the alley.

Eight figures arrived from different directions and stood on the courtyard walls on both sides of the alley.

"Missed."

"There's definitely something wrong with the target of this mission. This little kid, barely a few years old, is better at concealing his presence than any of us. He's as slippery as an eel!"

The leader of the men in black held a throwing knife in his hand, and licked the surface of the knife with a tongue three times longer than a normal person's.

Hearing his subordinates complain, he flicked his throwing knife and snorted coldly.

"A mission personally issued by the Pavilion Master is certainly not something that can be completed easily, and a reward of 300,000 taels of silver is not something that can be easily obtained."

Upon hearing his boss's words, a man in black who was squatting in a corner of the courtyard suddenly stood up and pointed to the two mansions at his feet.

"There are only these two houses on the whole street, that brat can't escape."

"These two mansions..." The speaker was a woman whose face was veiled in black, and whose voice carried a hint of allure.

"Is there some problem?" the leader of the men in black asked.

After thinking for a while in the heavy rain, the woman in black veil shook her head and spoke uncertainly.

"These two houses were here when I was a child. I vaguely remember that there were many stories about these two old houses back then."

"Could this mansion be some kind of haunted house, harboring vicious evil spirits?"

The woman in black veil shook her head, hesitatingly.

"It all happened 60 years ago. It's been so long that I don't remember it very well. I only remember that when I was a child, there were some other houses on this street."

For some reason, all of these houses disappeared later, leaving only two old houses that have remained here.

Something must have happened, but since these two old houses have always been here, they are unlikely to be haunted houses.

This Wangxing City is the Qing family's territory, not some desolate wilderness. If any ghosts or monsters were to be born there, they would have been wiped out by the Qing family long ago.

The leader of the men in black nodded and said decisively.

"Whether there are ghosts or not, there's absolutely no way we'll let that brat get away today!"

"The brat has hidden in the old house on the east side. Phantom and Old Dong will stay here to keep watch. The rest of you, come with me into the house. Let's finish this quickly and kill that brat!"

……

At the same time, in a room of the eastern mansion.

A little girl who looked only three or four years old poked her head out from under the bed, looking around curiously.

As she looked around, she kept muttering to herself.

"It's over! It's over! My entire family was wiped out just as my memories returned, and now I'm being hunted down. What kind of catastrophe is this?"

"You little brat! Get your ass out here right now! Stop playing dead! Explain yourself right now, what kind of crappy world did you choose this time?"
