Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

"After this battle, the Ghost King will probably be able to break through soon."

"Above the Great Celestial Throne..."

Upon hearing this, a dangerous glint flashed in Zhu Yougui's eyes.

His father, Zhu Wen, already favored Zhu Youwen, and if Zhu Youwen made any further breakthroughs, he would probably kill him.

How could he just sit and wait to die?

"Indeed, once I break through, defeating you will be a piece of cake!"

Zhu Youwen regained his confidence and couldn't wait to go into seclusion for spiritual practice.

“The Five Kings of Hell have come to report that Black and White Impermanence are about to return to their positions. Second brother, why don’t you come with me to witness this?”

Zhu Yougui suddenly spoke up and started talking about something else.

"They're just two good-for-nothings, what's so interesting about them?"

Zhu Youwen snorted and stormed off, showing no respect to Zhu Yougui whatsoever.

Zhu Yougui trembled slightly, clearly very angry.

He originally intended for Zhu Youwen to take the soon-to-be-returned Black and White Impermanence as his disciples, and then to plot against Zhu Youwen in collusion with them.

But Zhu Youwen was only focused on breaking through at the moment, so his plan was essentially stillborn.

Therefore, there is only one way to deal with Zhu Youwen.

Zhu Yougui looked at Qin Chuan, a sinister smile creeping onto his doll-like face:

"Young Master Qin possesses extraordinary strength, truly a peerless talent. I would like to invite you to assume the position of Yin Emperor of the Xuanming Sect, a position equivalent to that of the Ghost King. What do you say?"

"The Emperor of the Underworld!"

Yang Miao and Yang Yan gasped in surprise; they never expected Zhu Yougui to treat Qin Chuan so well.

Even Shi Yao looked surprised.

This is practically equivalent to the vice leader of the Xuanming Sect!

"Since the Underworld Emperor shows me such great favor, I will follow his lead without question."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly. How could he not see that Zhu Yougui was trying to win him over to deal with Zhu Youwen?

This is exactly the result he wanted to see.

Zhu Yougui burst into laughter.

He had never been as happy as he was now since the four Corpse Ancestors left the sect.

With a master like Qin Chuan, taking down Zhu Youwen would be a piece of cake.

"We pay our respects to the Emperor of the Underworld!"

The judges of water and fire knelt on one knee, while Meng Po bowed her head, and together they paid their respects to Qin Chuan, the new and first King of the Underworld of the Xuanming Sect.

"Brother Qin, would you be willing to accompany me to meet the Black and White Impermanence?"

Zhu Yougui immediately addressed Qin Chuan as a brother, seemingly wanting to further strengthen their relationship.

"It's impossible."

Qin Chuan knew the answer perfectly well.

Although Zhu Yougui appeared to be close to him, he had not actually let his guard down.

Inviting him to see the Black and White Impermanence was simply an attempt to plant someone around Zhu Youwen, just as in the original timeline.

So he deliberately fell into the trap, thus helping Zhu Yougui.

"You all come along too."

Zhu Yougui invited Shi Yao and the Water and Fire Judges to join him, attempting to conceal his true purpose, unaware that Qin Chuan had already figured out his intentions.

The group left the Xuanming Sect headquarters and arrived at the top of a desolate mountain on the outskirts of Luoyang.

The barren mountain is surrounded by countless deep pits.

In each deep pit, there are a dozen or so orphans captured from the martial arts world by the Xuanming Sect.

Every day, members of the Xuanming Cult would provide each pit with a single serving of food, which the orphans would fight tooth and nail for.

Ten days later, those who survived in the pit would engage in a final battle.

Only the two people who survive this kind of torment can become the Black and White Impermanence of the Xuanming Sect.

At this moment, dozens of orphans covered in blood crawled out of the deep pit, daggers in hand, and charged at the nearest person without hesitation.

Qin Chuan and Zhu Yougui stood side by side atop the desolate mountain, overlooking this tragic scene.

Besides Shi Yao and the Water and Fire Judges, there were five strange-looking people standing respectfully behind the two.

They are the five Yama Kings of the Xuanming Sect, responsible for selecting the Black and White Impermanence.

"Brother Qin, which two do you think will survive to the end?"

Zhu Yougui asked casually, completely unconcerned about the fighting beneath his feet.

In his eyes, these people were no different from ants.

Qin Chuan frowned slightly. He had grown up in a society governed by the rule of law and could not possibly be as cold-blooded as Zhu Yougui.

When Zhu Yougui asked him a question, he did not speak, but simply pointed to a young man and woman fighting side by side.

All the other orphans were lone wolves, but this young couple were the only ones who crawled out of the same deep pit.

They turned their backs to each other and took one life after another with daggers.

In the end, the two fought until they were exhausted, and the other orphans were all turned into cold corpses.

Even a member of the Xuanming Cult responsible for surveillance died at their hands.

"Well done!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yougui burst into laughter:

"Brother Qin has a discerning eye; I admire him greatly."

His shrill laughter immediately drew the attention of the young couple.

“A vengeful ghost snatches away souls; it is the will of the unpredictable.”

Zhu Yougui casually tossed them two sets of black and white clothes, coldly saying:

"From this day forward, you will be the Black and White Impermanence of the Xuanming Sect, living in endless cycles of birth and death, forever torment."

Chapter 8: The Pledge of Allegiance, Wang Yanzhang!

"Brother Qin, how about you train these two from now on?"

As Qin Chuan expected, Zhu Yougui indeed handed him the Black and White Impermanence.

"I will certainly live up to the trust placed in me by the Underworld Emperor."

Qin Chuan was prepared and agreed with a slight smile.

He's not Zhu Youwen; he wouldn't be so foolish as to be betrayed by mere Black and White Impermanence.

After accepting the Black and White Impermanence as his followers, the first thing Qin Chuan did was take them out for a hearty meal.

They then arrived at a courtyard located near the headquarters of the Xuanming Sect.

In an effort to win over Qin Chuan, Zhu Yougui was incredibly generous, gifting him this magnificent courtyard along with a large number of servants.

Qin Chuan didn't care how many spies were involved; he accepted them all.

In the hall, Qin Chuan sat at the head of the table, leisurely sipping fragrant tea.

The Black and White Impermanence stood stiffly, both of them somewhat trembling with fear.

The person in front of them was only a few years older than them, but he was the Yin Emperor of the Xuanming Sect, whose status was second only to the Underworld Emperor.

To them, they were like big shots from another dimension.

Qin Chuan put down his teacup, looked up at the two of them, and asked:

What are your names?

"Haoling..."

"Summon the spirit..."

Black and White Impermanence trembled and said in unison:

"We are all orphans, we only have given names, but no surnames."

"Since you are impermanent, then you shall be named Chang (Permanent)."

Qin Chuan glanced at the two of them again.

They are naturally the siblings Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling, who are practically invincible in the original timeline.

Unfortunately, the Chinese animation "The Bad Guys" seems to be heading towards a bad ending, so it's estimated that they won't have many more opportunities to appear.

"Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling pay their respects to Master!"

The two exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, performed the apprenticeship ceremony for Qin Chuan.

In such a cruel world, people as lowly as them would find it extremely difficult to survive without a powerful backer.

"You are far from being my apprentices."

With a casual flick of his wrist, Qin Chuan unleashed an invisible force that made it impossible for Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling to kneel down.

"Then you mean..."

The two could only stand up straight with trepidation.

"Let's master this technique before discussing anything else."

Qin Chuan spoke softly, teaching them the basic breathing techniques.

This can be considered his test of the Black and White Impermanence.

If the Black and White Impermanence betray him and join Zhu Yougui, just as they originally did.
