Chapter 456: Chapter 218: The Strongest Enforcer in the Underworld_2

Two demonic gods suddenly dispersed into one stream of black smoke and one of white, then reappeared around the crowd, wielding sticks and striking whenever they showed themselves, sometimes hiding in the underworld and sometimes setting foot in the mortal world, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making it impossible for the bystanders to keep their distance.

Their death-dealing sticks flew up and down, just as elusive, leaving onlookers unable to guard against them.

The Lord of Wuwang City smirked, discerning the tactic of the two demonic gods. He stepped forward, and the city of Wuwang emerged behind him, displaying limitless mana as he reached out to grab Black Impermanence, chuckling, "Fellow friends, we mean no harm..."

Black Impermanence backed away as White Impermanence’s stick struck his arm with a thunderous bang.

The smile on the Lord of Wuwang City’s face froze as unimaginable pain surged through him.

Black Impermanence moved forward, his stick thudding against the Lord’s other hand. The smile vanished from the Lord’s face as White Impermanence approached, joining Black Impermanence in beating him repeatedly with the stick, thump after thump, at least a dozen times.

It wasn’t that Black and White Impermanence had wounded him, but rather the pain was unbearable.

The power of the death-dealing stick wasn’t formidable, but it hurt too much when it hit!

So painful that he longed for death.

So painful that his soul felt like it was leaving his body, his Primordial Spirit on the verge of Soul Emergence!

Beaten by Black and White Impermanence, the Lord’s Primordial Spirit quaked ceaselessly, and he felt his physical body might not hold up, his Primordial Spirit about to fly away from his body. He hurriedly turned and fled into Wuwang City, which burrowed into the underworld and vanished without a trace.

After Black and White Impermanence chased away the Lord of Wuwang City, they saw Granny Sha still busy pulling out people’s Primordial Spirits, and they promptly charged at her.

Granny Sha bowed her head and spun around, already clutching a Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp in her hand. With a cold laugh, she said, "Others may fear your death-dealing sticks, but I certainly don’t!"

The light from the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp shined forth, blasting White Impermanence away into the underworld, throwing him hundreds of miles afar.

Black Impermanence seized the opportunity to draw near and strike Granny Sha with his stick.

Granny Sha had thought her Primordial Spirit was strong enough to withstand the blow, but as soon as the stick hit her, tears streamed down her face.

Black Impermanence swung again, knocking her Divine Soul out of her body while Granny Sha’s physical form trembled in agony on the ground!

At this point, everyone’s Primordial Spirits and divine forms had been battered and scattered, all except for the Qianyang Mountain Lord.

Qianyang Mountain Lord stepped forward and said, "Fellow friends, do you still recognize an old acquaintance from Huaxia Divine Continent?"

Before his words had ended, Black and White Impermanence turned their gaze upon him—as the saying goes, enemies are especially vicious upon encountering each other—and the two demonic gods were bristling with rage.

Black Impermanence sneered, "How many times have you rescued felons from our grasp! We’ve been waiting for this moment to beat you!"

Seeing them charge at him, Qianyang Mountain Lord hastily mounted Huang Hu, his hands gathering Yang Thunder, as Nine Yang Thunder Fire surged and rolled incessantly in the air above him, he commanded, "Halt!"

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, a potential explosion at any moment.

Sensing the boundless terror of the Thunder Fire about to erupt, and fearing they might get hurt, Black and White Impermanence dared not act recklessly. They backed off but remained hidden at Nannan’s side, watching him vigilantly.

Qianyang Mountain Lord heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Although I am a renowned healer, my mastery of Thunder Law and Fire Law is no less remarkable, so please don’t force me to get rough."

Black and White Impermanence hid in the underworld, their voices chillingly echoing, "We carry out our duties, and you, Sir, shouldn’t make our task difficult."

"In the past, you’ve saved many lives from our hands. Today, as merely an aspect of yourself, you are no match for us!"

Qianyang Mountain Lord replied, "You two are also nothing more than nascent incarnations from the West Bull New Continent; how capable can you really be?"

Despite his words, he too feared their death-dealing sticks and dared not threaten them further. Turning to Granny Sha and the Black-Clothed Senior Xuan Shan, he said, "This cannot be accomplished. If I exert my full strength, I may attract the True God." With that, he rode the tiger away.

Black and White Impermanence did not hinder his departure.

Chen Shi arrived at the outskirts of Huangpo Village, only to find everyone sprawled on the ground in disarray, convulsing, leaving him utterly baffled.

They appeared to be badly injured, yet strangely enough, were not harmed at all; they were just howling in pain, unclear where their injuries lay.

"This scene is rather similar to when Stone Rock Lady was beaten," thought Chen Shi.

On checking Nannan, he found the little girl had only been frightened and not injured, which reassured him.

When the pain subsided, people like Granny Sha and Black-Clothed Senior Xuan Shan no longer pressed the issue of Nannan’s origins, seemingly coming to accept the little girl.

When Chen Shi and Nannan visited Granny Sha, she needed to hold the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp before daring to speak with them.

When paying respects to Uncle Green Sheep, Green Sheep avoided them instead.

Chen Shi then made another trip to the Mountain Lord Temple, where Qianyang Mountain Lord showed up and said, "I have mostly figured out Nannan’s origins. This person judged humans during the day and ghosts at night; she comes from the Huaxia Divine Continent and is a righteous True God, though it’s unclear why she has fallen on hard times."

Chen Shi asked for advice, "How can one judge humans during the day and ghosts at night?"

Qianyang Mountain Lord explained, "A person’s Divine Soul resides in the Yuan Chen Palace, rumored to be in the underworld. Nannan’s past life was a highly meritorious individual, hailed in the Huaxia Divine Continent as an impartial judge. Her merits were so great that while she was alive, her Divine Soul already held a position in the underworld, known as Yama, responsible for judging ghosts. That’s why there is talk of judging humans by day and ghosts by night."

Chen Shi inquisitively asked, "Could I become a Yama in the underworld too?"

"That won’t do; your merits are insufficient," Qianyang Mountain Lord stated.

Chen Shi was rather disappointed and after a moment said, "Please tell Granny, Senior Xuan Shan, and the others about this, lest they keep worrying."

Qianyang Mountain Lord responded, "Nannan has not awakened her memories as Yama, so their concerns are natural. After all, receiving her blessing would shorten their lifespan. Now that the Little Yama listens to only you, you must take her everywhere you go. Otherwise, allowing such a highly meritorious being who has not yet awakened her memories to wander the mortal world might not be a good thing."

Chen Shi too was somewhat troubled.

During the days that the little girl had followed him, she learnt to offer incense everywhere. But how many in Qianyang Mountain could withstand her incense offerings? Should she inadvertently cause the death of someone he knew, that would indeed be unfortunate.
