Chapter 309: Chapter 309 Visitor from the Underworld_1

Following your sharp command, a semi-transparent bolt of thunder suddenly tore through the air!

"Zzt."

A sound akin to a muted fart rang out.

At this moment, an extremely eerie scene unfolded before your eyes.

Guan Xiong’s Human Soul, holding the frozen body of the fat man, emanated strange ripples from their center, spreading outwards. Soon, the fat man’s body and Guan Xiong’s Human Soul began to crack and crumble, turning into particles of light that intertwined with each other.

Seeing this, you once again bit your finger and quickly took out an orange talisman paper from your pocket, hurriedly drawing the Sen Luo Curse Mark on it.

The Sen Luo Curse Mark in your eyes rapidly spun as the orange talisman paper swiftly flew out, enlarging instantly two meters away from your body and hovering over the entwined particles of light, spinning rapidly.

As the Sen Luo Curse Mark revolved, those light particles began to congregate in a regular pattern.

When the light particles gradually coalesced into seven human shapes, the familiar sound of an iron chain reached your ears.

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but smile wryly, "These two brothers sure are fast."

Just as you expected, Kan Zihui and Kan Zihuang, the brothers, slowly emerged from the thick fog, each holding a ledger and an iron chain.

Kan Zihui greeted you with a fist and palm salute, "Master Li, it’s been a long time."

You smiled slightly and asked, "Did you receive the items?"

Kan Zihui nodded with a smile, "Thanks to Master Li, we two brothers now consider ourselves homeowners."

"How about the looks of those two maids?"

Before Kan Zihui could answer, Kan Zihuang chimed in, "Stunning and captivating."

You could tell that the brothers liked the gifts you sent.

Having taken your favors, negotiating the next topic would be much easier.

You said to them, "Gentlemen, you’re here to collect souls again, aren’t you?"

"Just as Master Li imagines, indeed we are," Kan Zihui said with a smile.

You laughed and said, "Then I have an overly bold request. I hope you can let me take away three people from among the seven human and earthbound souls."

Kan Zihui appeared somewhat troubled, "Master Li, we are aware of your relationship with those three, and among them, you have only met Lin Fang. As for the other two, let’s not worry about them, shall we?"

"That’s not quite right. Those two are still children, their lives have just begun, and they are in the prime of their youth. They died unjustly; their lives should not have ended, right?"

Kan Zihui immediately opened the ledger in his hand, flipped through it, and then fell into deep thought.

Seeing his brother silent, Kan Zihuang spoke up to you, "Two."

You smiled and shook your head. At this moment, you suddenly noticed that the light spots had already formed seven people, with Lin Fang among them.

Moreover, to your surprise, beyond the group of seven, there was another cluster of light particles that were slowly coalescing, quickly taking the form of a man somewhat resembling Guan Xiong. Compared to Guan Xiong, this man looked more refined, the same height but much slimmer.

You exchanged a glance with Xian Qianling by your side. Xian Qianling pondered, "Could this person be the previous Guan Xiong?"

You hadn’t expected that Guan Xiong’s Human Soul could still regroup. It seemed that the heavens also wished to prevent Guan Xiong and Lin Xiong from being eternally separated.

Then, you held out two fingers to Kan Zihui, "Two boxes of gold bars, plus two maids, and I take four people."

Upon hearing this, Kan Zihui immediately declined, "Master Li, you misunderstand us; we brothers are not greedy. It’s just that I’m afraid it’s hard to explain to Lord Chenghuang."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll go see Lord Chenghuang." You steeled yourself, and a sneer played across your thoughts, convinced as you were that they wouldn’t dare take you to see Lord Chenghuang. After all, once seen, their bribery would naturally be exposed.

At that moment, out of the mist strode a man with a slender figure, dressed in a white coat with cool, long hair, as handsome as Yun from the Fengyun novels.

As soon as the Kan Family Brothers saw the man, they immediately bowed in greeting, "Greetings, Master!"

The mysterious man smiled back at the Kan Family Brothers, "Rise."

"Why have you come, Master?" Kan Zi Hui asked with a smile.

The mysterious man’s gaze settled on you naturally, his smile broadening before he spoke with a small bow, "Master Li’s reputation truly precedes him. With a single move, he has eliminated the Ghost King with three hundred years of cultivation. Originally, I had thought I would need to assist you should you falter."

"Just a little trick, Master, you flatter me," you said with a smile to the mysterious man, then inquired, "May I ask if Master might be a spokesman for the Hangzhou Netherworld?"

The mysterious man smiled slightly, "Yes, and no."

His reply left you somewhat puzzled as you had thought he might be a figure like Chenghuang, but his current demeanor suggested otherwise.

Regardless, you were unconcerned with the specifics and directly asked the mysterious man, "In that case, Master, could you help me make a decision?"

The mysterious man nodded, "Speak, Young Master."

"I intend to take away three of these seven souls, and also that Human Soul. I plan to allow them to return to life."

He rubbed his chin with a fingertip and pondered, "That’s possible, and yet it’s not."

Damn it!

Upon hearing this, you almost cursed out loud; this guy’s manner of speaking truly made you feel like punching him.

"Could you give me a straight answer?"

Seeing your frustration, the mysterious man smiled and said, "It’s not that you can’t take away the four souls, but..."

"But what?"

"You’ll need to agree to a condition of mine."

"What condition?" You had somewhat anticipated that the mysterious man would say something like this, though you couldn’t fathom what he might ask of you.

"Hmm, what condition indeed? Let me think about that."

The mysterious man’s eyes flicked around before he smiled and said, "I haven’t thought of the condition yet. I’ll tell you next time we meet, Young Master."

With a wave of his hand, the souls of Guan Xiong and Lin Fang, with their layered Human and Earth souls, slowly started drifting toward you.

Seeing them approach, you didn’t hesitate. You bit your finger and took out three Orange Talisman Papers from your pocket, drawing a Magic Seal on each. Once the seals were complete, the bonded souls of Lin Fang and the others flew straight into the talismans.

Next, you stepped forward and pressed your bloodied fingertip to Guan Xiong’s Human Soul’s forehead. Soon Guan Xiong’s soul began to coalesce into a point of light, and you promptly pressed the light back into Guan Xiong’s body.

"Hmm?"

As the light merged into Guan Xiong’s forehead, he slowly shook his head in a daze. When his consciousness cleared, his first reaction was to ask you, "How is Lin Fang?"

"She’s fine and will awaken soon."
