Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 483 Chapter 493: The Underworld Enters the World (Part )
"Zhong Kui?"

"Kuei, means to ward off evil and suppress evil spirits, it's a good name!" Ma Han praised with a smile.

He just saw Zhong Kui, who was so young, daring to charge at the headless evil spirit with an ordinary peach wood sword in his hand. In his heart, he already admired this child who looked only seven or eight years old.

Today, only one in a hundred people are still alive in Qili Mansion. The ghosts of the dead linger in the city, like a dark cloud pressing down on this once prosperous city.

However, even in this situation, there is still an amazing light appearing.

This is the case with Zhong Kui and his sister.

Although he is still young, the courage he shows makes people give him a thumbs up.

Ma Han turned his head and said to the white-faced messenger beside him, "Take them to a safe place and hide them."

"Yes!"

Bai Lian Yin almost nodded, walked out of the thick yin energy, and came in front of Zhong Kui and his sister.

"You two lucky little guys. My master rarely intervenes to care about the lives of you mortals, especially in the territory conquered by the Purple Goddess."

The white-faced evil messenger was smiling, with his long eyes curved like crescent moons. He did not give people a kind feeling, but rather a very weird one.

Zhong Kui held his sister's hand tightly, took a few steps back, and glanced at the tall and burly Ma Han.

Ma Han saw Zhong Kui's concerns and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just follow him. We are going to do something dangerous, it's not appropriate for you to follow us."

When Zhong Kui heard this, he bowed to the white-faced messenger with some embarrassment: "Thank you for your help, sir!"

The white-faced shaman kept smiling and whispered, "Just call me Old Xie. My family was poor before, and I became a soldier. But when I returned home the next year, my whole family was killed by the county lord. So I don't like others to call me lord."

Zhong Kui's expression froze upon hearing this, and he could only add obediently, "Old Xie!"

"Yeah, that's good."

Old Xie watched Ma Han and others slowly disappear into the alley, and made a gesture to Zhong Kui and his sister.

"Come on, I'll take you to a safe place to hide."

The three of them walked forward along the alley, and soon a long-tongued evil spirit appeared in front of them.

Zhong Kui and his sister were a little nervous at first, but after seeing Lao Xie wielding chains and long swords and easily defeating the opponent, they were no longer so nervous.

Zhong Kui even plucked up the courage to kick the evil corpse.

Then he looked at Lao Xie and said, "Lao Xie, you and that adult just now are both ghosts, right?"

Old Xie raised his eyebrows when he heard this and laughed: "Why? Are you afraid of me?"

Zhong Kui quickly shook his head: "No, I just didn't expect that ghosts would actually save people.

My parents told me that all evil spirits in the world are bad. They like to eat people's hearts and livers and drink blood. The most numerous type of evil spirits are evil ghosts transformed from resentful souls. "

Old Xie stared at Zhong Kui's sincere eyes and couldn't help but laughed while holding his stomach.

"Hahaha... Actually, what you said is not wrong. According to the rules of our underworld, we cannot just save living people like you."

"Because everyone has their own destiny, and everyone's destiny is recorded in the Book of Life and Death. When and how to die are all predetermined."

Old Xie was unable to take part in capturing the dead souls, so out of boredom he simply started chatting with the two little kids.

"Master Ma Han saved you this time, which has already broken the rules of our underworld, but fortunately, we killed the headless evil spirit, otherwise we would not be able to report to the authorities."

"Yinsi?"

It seemed that Zhong Kui had heard these two words somewhere before, and they felt inexplicably familiar.

Old Xie glanced back and said calmly, "We need to speed up. The adults are already making a fuss."

Zhong Kui turned his head and looked in the direction where Lao Xie was looking, and saw a large amount of Yin energy surging and gathering in the darkness in the distance, and above the Yin energy, a round of moonlight emitting a scarlet moonlight, pressing down towards the Yin energy.

This scene, which was far more horrifying than a natural disaster, caught Zhong Kui's eyes and made him tremble all over.

He murmured, "What is that?"

Old Xie felt the momentum coming at him like a tsunami, his body was bent over, all the injustices he had encountered in his life and other negative emotions poured out of his mind crazily, making his eyes red and he almost couldn't control himself.

He clenched his teeth, exhaled cold air, and the arc of his mouth was filled with deep fear.

"Zigu God!"

Zhong Kui tilted his head and looked at Lao Xie in astonishment. Although he did not understand the meaning of the three words "Zi Gu Shen", he could clearly sense the chill in Lao Xie's tone.

That night, he began to understand the horror and truth of this world from an ignorant child.

Just like the scarlet moonlight that enveloped the entire Qili Mansion, under the shining light, everyone seemed to be just ants who could never reach each other's heights in their entire lives.

……

Ma Han's expression was more serious than ever before. The moonlight shining on him penetrated into the new flesh and blood that had grown after he was promoted to a secular god. It was like densely packed living bloodworms biting his body.

Under the moonlight, a very beautiful and enchanting woman came over.

Behind the woman, there was a large group of powerful ghosts, some of whom were at least at the level of summoning gods.

Ma Han took a deep breath, remembered what Lin Beixuan had told him, and shouted loudly.

"The underworld is doing business, those who are not here should stay away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the armor of the large group of ghost soldiers behind Ma Han shook in unison and they drew their weapons from their waists.

In an instant, the black flags fluttered, and the rolling dark energy rushed forward against the blood.

The Zi Gu Goddess raised her head indifferently and looked at the ghost soldiers and generals who entered the Qili Mansion without saying hello to her.

She did not take action immediately, but frowned and looked at Ma Han, who was in the lead.

"Who asked you to come?"

Ma Han clasped his hands together, and there was no fear on his face when facing the Zi Gu God.

"According to the order of the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, the number of living people in Li Mansion has dropped sharply according to the Book of Life and Death, so I have come to take in the souls of the dead."

When Zi Gu Goddess heard this, a hint of surprise and doubt flashed in her eyes.

Just as Lin Beixuan expected, it was impossible for the Zi Gu Goddess to be unaware of the existence of the underworld, and she also knew the horror of the underworld.

She looked at Ma Han and others carefully, raised her chin slightly, and sniffed the unique smell of the underworld in the thick yin air.

It was indeed very similar to the smell of the underworld that she had smelled before, but there was also an indescribable weirdness to it.

The cold wind blew up the exquisite and gorgeous hem of Zi Gu Goddess's clothes. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a calm tone: "The underworld no longer exists. Where did you come from? How come you pretend to be from the underworld and come to me?" Hearing this, Ma Han's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and did not show any abnormality on his face.

"The more critical the situation, the calmer you should be, so that the enemy can't figure out your thoughts, let alone guess your true intentions..."

Lin Beixuan's words once again appeared in Ma Han's ears. Ma Han's brows frowned, and waves of red karma fire emerged from his body.

The karmic fire was blazing, and even the Yin horse under his crotch was placed in the karmic fire. The fire hooves stepped on the ground, and the karmic fire flew in all directions with the Yin horse's snorting.

Ma Han was like a judge bathed in flames, mighty and majestic. His aura was not diminished in the slightest by the Goddess Zi Gu.

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "The underworld no longer exists?"

"My underworld may have been away from the world for a while, but it has never disappeared. Now that my master has returned from the outside world, the underworld will naturally start to operate again and perform the duties of my underworld."

"And what do you mean by impersonation? I have never seen any ghost impersonating a ghost soldier of my underworld."

Ma Han's words were so decisive that even the Zi Gu Goddess couldn't help but frown.

The secular gods behind her were also somewhat confused and kept looking at each other.

It is true that the underworld has disappeared for a long time, but as the other party said, disappearance does not mean non-existence, and it may come back at any time.

In the past, when the underworld existed, there was indeed such a rule that when the underworld was doing business, no matter how big or small the secular gods were, or whether they were princes and nobles, even the secular masters had to retreat and not affect the work of the underworld.

Because the underworld represents the order of the cycle of heaven and earth, it is a supreme authority.

And such power lies in the hands of the Lord of the Underworld who overlooks all living things in the world.

You know, these secular gods have had contact with the underworld before, and they have been troubled for a long time by these guys who act strictly according to rules and regulations.

What they remember most vividly is that there was a newly promoted great secular god who thought that after becoming a great secular god he would be able to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and thus wanted to challenge the underworld.

In the end, he didn't even get to see the Lord of the Underworld, but was cut into pieces by a judge in one of the halls, and his soul was taken out and thrown into hell.

This incident caused a sensation in the secular god circle at the time, and it could not be resolved even after the secular leader stepped in.

From this point, we can see how powerful the underworld is.

At this moment, after hundreds of years, people from the underworld appeared in front of everyone again, and their past memories instantly reminded them of the horror of the underworld.

"My lady..."

A secular god whispered a reminder behind Zi Gu God: "I have seen secular gods in the underworld before. They need to be sealed in the Book of Life and Death to become gods. The underworld general in front of me is indeed carrying the aura of a secular god sealed in the Book of Life and Death. I am not wrong about this."

Upon hearing this, God Zi Gu turned her head and glanced at the secular god behind her. She didn't say anything, but just stared at Ma Han quietly.

After a moment, he said, "Even if you are from the underworld, you have not cared about the lives of the living in the world for so long. Why do you have to care about me?"

Zi Gu Goddess' eyes were cold. Although she had already admitted in her heart that the people in front of her were indeed people from the underworld, she had already made plans for the souls who died unjustly in Qili Mansion, and naturally did not want to hand them over just like that.

However, Ma Han had no intention of backing down and stared directly at the Goddess Zi Gu with a firm gaze.

Even though there was a huge gap in power between the two, the other party's performance constantly confirmed what Lin Beixuan had said to him, making him full of confidence at this moment.

He said in a deep voice: "Before I was ordered to come here, my Lord also asked me to bring you a message."

“The underworld has always followed the destiny of life and death. We in the underworld do not care about the affairs of the living world, but the sins of killing you have committed in Qili Mansion are too heavy and have seriously disrupted the order of yin and yang. We in the underworld will take these ghosts away and let them reincarnate.

If you have any objections, you can come to the underworld to find me in person."

After saying this, Ma Han stopped talking and just looked at Zi Gu Shen and his entourage.

The scarlet moonlight from the sky sprinkled down, making the whole scene even more bizarre. Both sides were silent, as if they were waiting for the decision of the Zi Gu Goddess.

Ma Han crossed his arms across his chest, looking calm on the surface, but in fact, cold sweat was oozing out of his palms. He secretly held the last trump card that Lin Beixuan gave him, the bronze mirror that could ensure the safety of all of them.

The goddess Zi Gu lowered her eyebrows, and it seemed that no matter what movements she made, she was stunningly beautiful from any angle, even when she was sneaking.

The wind lifted her black hair, and the ornaments on her head flickered with a faint light. Upon closer inspection, it looked like elves dancing.

After a long silence, the God Zi Gu turned around, walked past the secular gods under his command, and left without any reluctance.

In the end, she chose not to be an enemy of the underworld.

It won't be long before what happened tonight will be heard by all the major forces, whether it's the Evil Spirit Lord or the Lord Bei Mingfu who killed her subordinate, the Lord of Fengdu City, against the rules some time ago.

If the other party knew that she was on bad terms with the underworld, they would probably take this opportunity to join forces and devour her.

This is because when standing among the three forces, we have to take some issues into consideration.

Besides, she also knew the Lord of the Underworld. He was not an easy person to deal with. If she really offended him, there might be more trouble in the future.

However, the goddess Zi Gu was unwilling to see the dead souls that she had created with so much effort being taken away by the underworld.

Without even turning her head, she said to a secular god behind her: "Give orders. When we capture the souls of the dead in the underworld, we should also try our best to refine them into our evil spirits."

The common god was startled when he heard this, but then he quickly reacted and his body merged into the shadows.

Sitting in the residence of the city lord of Qili Prefecture, the goddess Zi Gu watched the people from the underworld in the city quickly capture the dead souls with a gloomy look in her eyes.

"Did the underworld feel that troubled times were approaching, so it re-entered the world?"

"That's fine. If we're going to cause chaos, let's make it even more chaotic. You collect your dead souls, and I'll destroy my city. At most, I can restrain the evil soldiers and make them kill fewer people."

"I'm determined to take over Xuanzhou!"

On the purple robe of Zi Gu Goddess, countless faces moved strangely, as if they felt her mood at the moment, and they all made seductive ghost sounds, and in these ghost sounds, there was piercing laughter.

This night is destined to be uneventful.

It didn't take long for Ma Han to notice the actions of the Goddess Zi Gu.

However, he did not go to blame him, but instead asked his ghost soldiers and servants to speed up the collection of the dead souls.

Countless soul-catching chains shuttled through the streets and alleys, entangled and dragged the confused souls floating above the corpses... and then threw them into the bag.

They are racing against time with the sneaky ghosts under the command of Zi Gu God. If these dead souls are taken away by them, at least they have a chance to reincarnate, but if they fall into the hands of Zi Gu God, they can only become sneaky soldiers controlled by the other party.

The blood moon was in the sky, and Zhong Kui and his little sister were standing in the second-floor attic.

The bodies of his parents had been found by Lao Xie and placed in front of Zhong Kui, but their souls were missing.

The little sister burst into tears, but there was not a single tear on Zhong Kui's little face.

He stared at the corpse for a long time, then looked up at Lao Xie.

"Can I join you in the underworld?"
