Chapter 146: Chapter 85 Problematic Youth and Dog

Containing hundreds of Evil Spirits inside him that even Chen Yindou with his high cultivation couldn’t detect, discussing the level of each Evil Spirit has become meaningless!

Viewing them as a whole, then what level of Evil Spirit would Chen Shi be?

Demon Level?

Calamity Level?

Or even a Calamity Level?

Moreover, Chen Shi now seemed like a conduit and container connecting the Yin Yang Two Realms, with even more Evil Spirits crawling into his body and hiding once they were inside!

Thinking about it, Chao Feng felt a shudder recalling his suggestion to enter Chen Shi’s dreams to investigate the source of the Evil Spirits.

Had they truly intruded, they would now be three cold corpses!

The Evil Spirits that climbed from the arm of the ghostly hand’s owner into Chen Shi’s body were incomparable to those of Qianyang Mountain. The Evil Spirits of Qianyang Mountain were already extremely terrifying and evil, but those from the underworld were even more vicious!

"Old Chen, since Little Ten hasn’t fully developed his powers, why not sacrifice family for the greater good?"

Granny Sha sighed, suggesting, "Once he becomes powerful, he’ll be a disaster! By then, even if you were resurrected, you wouldn’t stand a chance against him."

Chao Feng and the whiskered giant nodded repeatedly.

The whiskered giant said, "Now, sacrificing family for the greater good is the only way to ensure the safety of the mortal world. Who knows when the Evil Spirits inside Chen Shi might burst forth? If one day he opens his mouth and an Evil Spirit crawls out, it would be a disaster not inferior to an Evil Bodhisattva! And he has hundreds of such Evil Spirits inside him!"

Chao Feng added, "Old Chen, you wouldn’t want to ruin a lifetime of glorious reputation in an instant, would you? By sacrificing family for the greater good, your honorable name will be celebrated forever."

Chen Yindou glanced at them and said indifferently, "Whoever touches my grandson, I’ll fight them with my life!"

Chao Feng and the whiskered giant fell silent.

Now Chen Yindou had become an Evil Spirit, but luckily he was in the underworld; the moonlight couldn’t affect him. If he were to return to the mortal world, he’d likely demonize instantly!

No one wanted to encounter a demonized Chen Yindou!

Angering him might lead him to wreak havoc in the mortal world alongside Chen Shi!

Then there would be two troubles, big and small.

Of course, Chen Yindou was the smaller trouble.

Granny Sha pondered, "There’s another way, which is to take things as they come. First, let’s see what these Evil Spirits inside Little Ten plan to do. They won’t stay inside him forever; surely some will eventually come out. Those that do, we’ll eliminate first. With our strength, plus Xiao Wangsun, we should be able to handle them. But before that, we need to plug the source."

She looked toward the arm of the blue ghost god, which had already reached into the mortal world, with only the wrist visible.

Chao Feng said, "If it’s just one-on-one, I’m not afraid of any Evil Spirit. The key issue is so many Evil Spirits are crawling into Chen Shi’s body; we can’t kill them all."

The whiskered giant suggested, "Therefore, perhaps sacrificing family for the greater good is the best choice!"

Chen Yindou glared at him and scoffed, "Hu Xiaoliang, if you dare mention sacrificing family for the greater good again, I’ll sacrifice you for the greater good."

The whiskered giant shuddered and said no more.

Chen Yindou spoke gravely, "I’ll take care of stopping the source; the mortal realm is up to you guys. If..."

He hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and said, "If you really can’t handle it, notify me. I’ll bring Little Ten to the underworld, and we’ll fend for ourselves."

Granny Sha, the whiskered giant, and Chao Feng’s faces grew stern, knowing how hard it was for him to say this.

Chen Yindou was always domineering, chasing his own ideals and neglecting his family until he realized how empty and lonely his heart was in his old age after someone harvested the Divine Embryo from his grandson, feeling that no amount of friends or accomplishments could fill that void.

Sadly, his favorite grandson had already become a cold corpse.

The subsequent eight years were spent doing everything he could to make amends, pulling in all his contacts, calling on all his friends to save Chen Shi.

A feat deemed impossible was accomplished by him.

Two years ago, Chen Shi’s soul returned.

A resurrection after eight years of death, a bizarre and terrifying event for others, but for Chen Yindou, it was the happiest thing in his life.

Living with Chen Shi for those two years was the happiest time of his life, as Chen Shi was a sensible yet mischievous child. Seeing the child grow up like a normal person day by day was his greatest joy.

He hoped Chen Shi could live forever in the sunlight.

Expressing his readiness to bring Chen Shi to the underworld and depend on each other, one can only imagine the internal struggle and pain.

"Old Chen, take good care of yourself!"

Granny Sha and the others turned and left.

"There’s one more thing."

Chen Yindou suddenly said, "I’ve been in the underworld for so long and haven’t heard any news of King Yan."

The three were taken aback, Granny Sha released a murky breath, "You haven’t found King Yan, maybe because you haven’t explored enough places. How could there be no King Yan with so many enforcers on the River of Oblivion?"

Chen Yindou nodded slightly, watching them leave, then moved himself towards the right arm of the blue ghost god.

The closer he got, the more gigantic the blue ghost god appeared; standing before this ghost god, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

Now he was an Evil Spirit, and these Evil Spirits didn’t directly attack him.

However, if he blocked the passage, these Evil Spirits would probably attack him ferociously!

"Being an Evil Spirit myself, who would I be afraid of?"

The whiskered giant’s keen nose could smell the fragrance coming from the mortal world, and Chao Feng’s bright eyes could see the red glow of incense from afar, making it impossible for them to lose their way.

They walked for half a day, and Granny Sha’s expression changed slightly. She whispered, "Hurry, something has set its sights on us!"

The whiskered giant’s three heads looked around, only to see the gloomy, dim clouds around them, with something seemingly lurking within.

They felt a chill in their hearts, indeed something had set its sights on them.

Green Sheep asked, "Granny, you’ve offended many bigwigs in the underworld, are they the ones seeking revenge?"

Granny Sha shook her head and said, "My Spell is still effective, hiding our identities; our enemies should not be able to know. The ones targeting us, it might not be a coincidence. We went to find Chen Yindou, someone was monitoring him, and saw us contacting him, that’s why they targeted us."

The three of them hurriedly quickened their pace towards the Chao Feng incense burner.

The incense burner stood towering, larger than the mountains, with an incense stick on top, its flame as red as the setting sun.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly plummeted to the ground, turning into a blanket of thick fog as they hit.

As they flew forward, they saw the white fog surge toward them, heavy with moisture, drowning out their figures.

The fog was extremely strange; its height unknown, its breadth indefinable. As they navigated through the fog, unable to distinguish up from down, left from right, eerie laughter echoed from all around in the darkness.

The muscular man and Green Sheep each revealed their six arms without a word, brandishing their weapons.

The weapons in their hands, given by Granny Sha—bows, arrows, swords, halberds, cords, seals—were no ordinary items but ghostly weapons that had endured grinding and slaughter, steeped in rich blood and Demonic Nature. It was unknown where Granny Sha had acquired them.

"Keep your eyes on the incense head!"

Granny Sha said solemnly, "Follow the incense head, and you won’t get lost!"

"Is that so?"

A light laugh echoed through the fog, and the fog in front seemed to float like white sand in the air, dispersing to the sides, revealing a woman in white holding an incense stick, smiling at them.

Green Sheep was about to rush over and kill the woman, but suddenly the fog surged, and the woman disappeared.

In the fog, individual red spots emerged, resembling the heads of incense sticks.

Suddenly, a colossal figure emerged from the fog, charging at them!

Outside Huangpo Village, Chen Shi hurried from the county town, seeing from afar that the ritual altar at Granny Sha’s place was still there, with the Five Ghost Kings still guarding it, while one Ghost King ascended to the third platform to change the incense for the Chao Feng incense burner.

"What on earth is Granny up to?" he wondered curiously.

"Have the brothers eaten yet?" Chen Shi approached and inquired.

The four Ghost Kings seated beneath did not respond to him, each sitting cross-legged, focusing on the incense sticks in the soil before them, inhaling the fragrance.

Sitting there, they were bigger than black bears, with thick hands, large feet, protruding tusks, bristling eyebrows, indigo-blue faces, and flame-like hair; enough to frighten any ordinary person half to death.

Chen Shi approached them, took out new incense he had bought from his book box, handed several sticks to each Ghost King, and said with a smile, "This is the new Premium Descent Incense from the County Town’s Hundred Fragrances Shop, try the taste."

The Ghost Kings lit the incense, each showing a look of intoxication, and praised, "Indeed it’s premium!"

Chen Shi said hesitantly, "My esteemed brothers, I’ve always been tactless, eager to befriend you all, but unsure how to close our gap. Fortunately, I have some money to afford more sticks of incense for you brothers."

Seeing his learned and polite demeanor, the Five Ghost Kings felt embarrassed to send him away.

Chen Shi lit several more incense sticks and said, "I am closer to Granny than her own son, but my understanding is shallow and I lack insight. I don’t know what Granny is arranging. Could any of you elder brothers enlighten me?"

Among the quartet, the Four Ghost Kings were naturally inclined to gossip; thus, they ended up spilling everything about Granny Sha, the green sheep, and the whiskered burly man entering the underworld. The biggest Ghost King wanted to shut it up, but it was already too late.

Chen Shi’s eyes sparkled as he smiled and said, "Could Little Ten go up and take a look?"

The Five Ghost Kings felt quite troubled and gathered to discuss, "Granny indeed treats him like her own son. It wouldn’t be right to not let him take a look. If he complains to Granny later and causes trouble for us, wouldn’t we be wronged?"

Thus, the biggest Ghost King reluctantly said, "You can go up and have a look, but you must not disturb any of the arrangements on the altar. If you do, Granny might get trapped in the underworld and can’t return."

Chen Shi was overjoyed, hastily agreed, and carefully climbed onto the altar, inspecting the peculiar banners that adorned it. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Big brother, the pup has gone up!" The second Ghost King saw Black Pot following Chen Shi onto the altar, and also climbed up, becoming anxious.

"The pup shouldn’t go up!"

The group of Ghost Kings was startled and quickly said, "Come down quickly! The black dog’s Yang energy is too strong—it will disrupt these Netherworld Lamps!"

By the time Chen Shi reached the second level and was looking around, upon hearing this, he quickly turned around, intending to make Black Pot come down. However, he saw Black Pot had already reached the third level, pressing its nostrils to the ground, curiously sniffing all around.

"Black Pot, come down quickly!" Chen Shi was also becoming panicked and hurriedly hastened to the third level, fearing that Black Pot would disrupt the layout there.

He had just reached the third level when he noticed that Black Pot’s head had disappeared.

Looking carefully, he saw a delicate incense burner in the middle of the altar, with one stick of incense, its fragrance wafting and forming a thin mist of smoke. Black Pot’s head was inserted into the mist, but at the other end of the smoke, no dog’s head emerged!

"Black Pot, come out quickly!"

Chen Shi stepped forward, about to grab the big dog, but saw Black Pot’s limbs suddenly exert force and leap into the smoke, disappearing without a trace!

Chen Shi rushed forward, his head passing through the smoke, suddenly a different world appeared before his eyes. He saw his own head, immensely large, hovering in mid-air, with the vast Chao Feng copper sculpture below, spewing smoke and fire.

Ahead, in the dense fog, a massive beast moved through the fog, fighting, striking in all directions, biting to death some unknown terrifying demons or smashing their heads.

Chen Shi was dumbstruck. After a moment, he saw the immensely enlarged beast carrying the oddly shaped Granny Sha, the green sheep, and the whiskered burly man charging towards him.

Chen Shi quickly ducked his head, only to hear a whoosh as Black Pot leaped out from the smoke!

Granny Sha, the green sheep, and the whiskered burly man tumbled off the altar, rolling down covered in blood and bristling with injuries.

"There’s something wrong with this dog!"

The green sheep jumped up, stood upright on its hind legs, and pointed its forepaws at Black Pot, shouting.

The whiskered burly man hurried to cover his mouth, but it was already too late.

Granny Sha quickly got up, brushed the dust off herself, and said, "It’s a normal dog, normal. It’s a problem with my spell. Green Sheep, don’t spout nonsense. See, didn’t Little Ten’s head also look very big just now?"

The green sheep hesitated and said, "But didn’t Little Ten also have..."

The whiskered burly man clamped his mouth shut, trapping the word "problem" in his throat.

"You’re a sheep, don’t you have issues too? Just stop talking!" The whiskered burly man said, frustrated and annoyed.
