The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

The Heavenly Court convened a grand meeting, the largest of its kind in millions of years, to discuss this matter.

However, the story of Liang Shanbo was not over yet, and chaos broke out again.

The will of heaven and earth in the mortal realm was surprisingly beyond the control of the immortal realm, and it did things that surpassed the will of the immortal realm, which was unimaginable.

The will of the mortal realm has experienced a rare reversal, shaking the will of the immortal realm. Recently, a large number of wronged souls from the mortal realm have flooded into the underworld. Something extraordinary must have happened in the human world.

Furthermore, after Liang Shanbo's death, his soul neither ascended to heaven nor descended to earth, existing in a state between life and death, leaving the underworld's soul-collecting officials powerless to do anything about it. Moreover, because Liang Shanbo had performed so many good deeds, he was beloved by the people and gained their faith, making it impossible for the soul-collecting officials to even approach him, let alone collect his soul.

This matter alarmed the underworld.

Liang Shanbo obtained the power of faith and light, which even the Soul Reaper could not approach. That was an extraordinary matter. This matter had exceeded the jurisdiction of the Underworld and had to be handed over to the Immortal Palace of Zhongzhou or reported to the Heavenly Court.

To investigate what exactly happened in the mortal realm, Liang Shanbo's current situation, and whether the tremors were related to events in the mortal realm, the Underworld directly dispatched the five great ghost generals, led by Ox-Head and Horse-Face:

Ox-head, Horse-face, Daytime Traveler, Nighttime Traveler, Leopard-tail.

Ghost cultivators who can be called Ghost Generals must hold official positions in the Central Continent Immortal Palace.

Regarding the relationship between the Underworld and the Immortal Abode of the Central Plains, the Underworld still has to show deference to the Immortal Abode of the Central Plains.

The Central Continent Immortal Abode is not only a local power among cultivators in the mortal realm, but also has a close relationship with the immortal realm.

If the underworld wants peace, it is essential to maintain a good relationship with the Immortal Abode of the Central Plains.

Although the Netherworld could destroy the Central Continent Immortal Palace, the Immortal Realm forces behind the Central Continent Immortal Palace could easily annihilate the Netherworld.

Not to mention that the people from Zhongzhou Immortal Mansion will mostly stay in the Immortal Realm after they leave.

Offending such a group of powerful figures who will later thrive in the immortal realm is unwise and not worth it.

Although the Underworld is strong and the Central Plains Immortal Palace is weak, the Underworld has no choice but to act inferior to the Central Plains Immortal Palace.

The five ghost generals dispatched by the underworld this time are celestial generals and officials in the Central Continent Immortal Palace.

In other words, they can not only move freely in the underworld, but also in the mortal world. Cultivators in the mortal world must not offend or kill these ghost cultivators who have dual identities.

Otherwise, it would offend the Underworld and the Celestial Palace of the Central Plains.

The appearance of the Five Great Ghost Generals in the mortal realm is an extraordinary event.

In the Central Continent Immortal Palace, there are only a dozen or so ghost cultivators in the entire Underworld who can be appointed as god-level officials. But now, five of them have arrived at once, which has to alarm the Central Continent Immortal Palace.

In the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, a god-level official is practically the highest rank, equivalent to a regional lord. With five such lords appearing all at once, it's hard for the Central Continent Immortal Mansion not to take notice.

Of course, in the underworld, although the Ghost General was appointed as a divine official by the Central Continent Immortal Palace, he was not the strongest in the underworld.

The strongest beings in the underworld are the kings of the various palaces, the ghost emperors of the eight directions of ghost realms, and the rogue ghost emperors and ghost lords of the underworld.

Even the Central Continent Immortal Mansion wouldn't want to cause trouble for these people.

In particular, the kings of the various palaces and the eight ghost emperors possessed extraordinary cultivation. Although they valued the Central Plains Immortal Mansion, they did not take it seriously.

The kings of each palace and the eight ghost emperors are almost at the top of the underworld pyramid. In their eyes, the Central Plains Immortal Palace is not qualified to talk to them. Only the power behind the Central Plains Immortal Palace—the Immortal Realm.

Just after the five Ghost Generals arrived at Kowloon Ruins, they were shocked to see the following scene:

There was a strange woman in the human world who was eighteen or nineteen years old. She could control the will of heaven and earth and use it for her own purposes. She originally had nearly a hundred years of life left, but in that instant, it all vanished, and she became a ghost.

Upon seeing this, Niu Tou was greatly alarmed: "We cannot let her enter Liang Shanbo's tomb, otherwise, we will all suffer the consequences of destroying a person who has ascended to immortality through faith in the light."

Riyou was both anxious and helpless: "But Liang Shanbo's power of faith in light is too strong, and we simply cannot get close."

Gritting his teeth, Niu Tou turned to the other four commanders: "We can't worry about that now. We all understand that if Liang Shanbo suffers any mishap, it won't just be us who suffer. Let's join forces and fight our way in. We must capture that audacious demoness."

According to the Soul Collector's report, Liang Shanbo has gained the faith of many people, and the power of this faith prevents them from getting close. Initially, they didn't think much of it, but now, their expressions changed.

This isn't just numerous; it's an enormous number, so numerous that even their dignified Ghost Commander couldn't get close.

Niu Tou reacted the fastest; he immediately recognized Liang Shanbo's current state:

He made tremendous contributions to the human world, received the faith and worship of tens of thousands of people, and ascended to heaven by gathering the power of faith in light.

This is absolutely an unimaginable event. In the celestial realm, which person who ascends to immortality through the power of faith in light is not a figure of importance?

The Heavenly Court has long stipulated that once a person of faith in the Light is discovered in the mortal realm and ascends to immortality, they must be protected at all costs. The Jade Emperor and the Buddha have both issued decrees in the Central Plains Immortal Palace and the Underworld:

Those who can gather the power of faith and ascend to immortality are bestowed the title of "Holy Son of Faith" by the Great Thunderclap Temple and "Immortal Prince of Faith" by the Heavenly Court.

Not only these two terrifying giants, but Ksitigarbha, the King of the Underworld, also made a statement:

Those who ascend to immortality through faith are the sons of the Buddha of the Underworld.

Perhaps the Jade Emperor and the Buddha are far away and the emperor is high up in the mountains, so they don't have much to fear. But Ksitigarbha is a truly virtuous, respected, and revered figure in the underworld.

Even the kings of various palaces and the ghost emperors of all directions treat Ksitigarbha with respect and deference.

How dare they be so disrespectful?

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's compassionate vow: I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty; I will not attain Bodhi until all sentient beings are liberated.

It can be said that, in the eyes of the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is no less than the Buddha of the Western Paradise.

Or rather, Ksitigarbha is the underworld version of Buddha, whose power surpasses that of the kings of the various palaces and the ghost emperors of all directions. However, the respect that people from all walks of life in the underworld have for him is not because of his power.

The five great ghost generals, including Ox-Head and Horse-Face, reside in the underworld and also hold official positions in the Central Plains Immortal Palace, so they naturally understand the importance of those who ascend to immortality through faith in the light.

That was someone who, even before becoming an immortal, was already being fought over by the three giants of the world.

How could they dare to be negligent or make the slightest mistake?

After Zhu Yingtai entered the tomb, Ox-Head and Horse-Face couldn't sit still any longer. The five ghost generals joined forces to enter Liang Shanbo's tomb and drag Zhu Yingtai out.

All of this was happening under Liang Shanbo's divine sense. However, because Liang Shanbo had used his Heavenly Eye of Ten Thousand Years supernatural power, he had exhausted all his energy and didn't even have the strength to speak or open his eyes. He could only worry helplessly.

"This foolish girl, who exactly is she? And what is her relationship with me? She's like a moth drawn to a flame, wanting to die with me, little does she know that I am not dead."

Although Liang Shanbo didn't know who Zhu Yingtai was, he was moved by her willingness to die with him. He became even more certain that this woman was probably his girlfriend, or even his wife.

"Who...who are you?"

Zhu Yingtai was stunned and even terrified when the five great demon generals, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, dragged her out of her grave.

These five people look so scary and terrifying. I don't think I've ever seen them before. Who are they? And why did they pull me out of my grave?

Do I have a grudge against them?

But looking at these five people, they looked so frightening that I didn't seem to have seen them before.

Is there really someone in this world who looks so frightening?

Are they human or ghost?

Zhu Yingtai was completely stunned.
