Chapter 233: Chapter 230: Young Master Xue Dies Again, Old Almanac Goes Mad

The quality of the chef’s knife proved to be superior, skilled in chopping melons, slicing meat, crushing garlic, and chopping bones... it was as easy as playing to sever the old fox’s neck bone.

This sudden, unforeseen accident also left the crowd of demons stunned on the spot.

Even Young Master Huadie and Lady Huaiyu, two beings of the "Yin God" realm, were unable to intervene in time to save him.

By the time the head, soaring up with the spray of blood, dropped back to the ground, the old fox’s face still held an expression of unbelievable shock.

Could he truly not accept that his wonderful life as a demon had just come to an abrupt end?

"Excellent!"

Wang Yuan, using the "Exorcism and Disaster" seal for the first time, nodded in satisfaction.

County Magistrate Hu of Yunhe County was a greedy official who indulged his son’s every vice. Together with a group of ruthless officials, they oppressed the people and extorted the people’s wealth.

In Yunhe County, tragedies of broken families and lost lives occurred almost every moment, and the people had long harbored deep hatred for him.

Now, after the execution of his only son, he even dared to capture living people for his son’s marriage, a crime deserving of death a thousand times over!

The more the people hated him, the stronger the Wishing Power they generated became, and the better the effect of "Calamity" was, without consuming any of Wang Yuan’s own energy.

A living Yama? No, it’s the people too!

The fact that immediate karmic tribulation followed proved that this man’s evil deeds were full, deserving the wrath he faced!

Zeng Wentai, the "Black Law Judge" at Wang Yuan’s side, also showed a trace of relief on his face. His soul body became clearer, and his Taoist ability notably increased.

According to the "Yin Department Black Law," Zeng Wentai, as the lowest level judge, had no jurisdiction over county magistrates, officials of the "Yang" level.

That’s why at the beginning he had used his hand to execute, in dreams, three animals including Young Master Hu, so he could also experience the pain of losing a son.

Today was finally a conclusion.

The case judges stationed in Shanyang City who were in charge of arresting and investigating cases performed the "divine seal," opening a convenient door for Wang Yuan.

After the death of County Magistrate Hu, they immediately sent troops to Xue Mansion to apprehend the ghost criminals.

To him, death was far from the end.

Next, Wang Yuan, with a brush in hand, crossed off the names of those "clothes and crowned beasts" one by one.

In the mirror, the county governor of Yunhe, who had turned into a giant gray-furred rat, was originally eating fish.

But when he saw the dreadful state of County Magistrate Hu beside him, he choked on a sharp fishbone in shock.

As he tried to swallow, the fishbone slid down, slicing open his entire esophagus in a bloody mess.

Then came the chief clerks of Ninghai State, the county magistrate of Huaiyuan County...

In only a few breaths’ time, the entire hall was a scene of sorrow and despair.

No matter how small the chance of an accident occurring was, once these "clothes and crowned beasts" were afflicted by "Calamity," accidents always seemed to happen to them.

Quite a few fell dead on the spot.

Indeed: corrupt officials are like tigers, ruthless officials are like wolves, when evil deeds are full, evil will be repaid!

Both those officials who had not yet experienced accidents and the evil followers of the No-Life Dao were terrified by this strange sight.

Some even cried out in alarm:

"Cursed to death! All of these people have been cursed to death! Too quickly, they died too quickly!"

"That’s wrong, the ’Taboo’ in the ’Old Almanac’ now is: dancing and singing, and no one has violated any prohibitions.

It must be the ’Deceit Object’ that’s out of control! It’s going to kill us all!"

"Master Qianxing! It’s all because of you scoundrels!"

Indeed, they couldn’t be blamed for thinking this.

The string of misfortunes was just too consistent with the style of the "Old Almanac."

And this group of "clothes and crowned beasts" had just looked at the "Old Almanac," right before the accidents happened, so no one believed it was unrelated to the "Old Almanac."

But even if they were expendable, death should not have come in such a manner.

Slap!

Young Master Huadie, the one with the highest Taoist skill, suddenly clapped his hands, and, in the hall, those "clothes and crowned beasts" still alive simultaneously had a vacant look in their eyes.

They had been dragged into a dream realm by the "Great Dream Butterfly Technique" and suddenly became motionless.

The best way to reduce the probability of an accident happening was to do nothing!

But this was merely a temporary solution; unless they forever refrained from eating, drinking, walking... disaster was bound to befall them sooner or later.

As the "Upper Corpse" Peng Ju’s power hunger was struck down, Young Master Xue, who had just been full of pride, immediately flew into a rage:

"Damn it! It must be that bastard!

Master Qianxing, quickly curse him to death for me! Curse him to death!

If he doesn’t die soon, activate the ’Killing Dragon’ formation ahead of time, reverse the flow of Mirror Lake, and mobilize all the City Guard soldiers to attack directly! Kill them all with swords and spears!"

At this moment, they didn’t even know where their enemy was, foolishly fighting against thin air as if waging a battle of wits.

Let alone others, even the naturally noble-born Young Master Xue was on the verge of a breakdown.

In contrast,

In the side hall where Wang Yuan was, a myriad of voices in the "Merit Golden Wheel" cried out together:

Living Yama! Living Yama! Living Yama!...

For the "Yin Official" system, enforcing the law was refining the law.

The grievances of the people were released, their desires fulfilled.

The vast power of the people’s wishes suddenly turned Wang Yuan’s Taoist skills into rolling rivers, propelling the "Earthly Que True Qi" to surge turbulently within his body.

With each cycle of circulation, the divine soul wearing a prince’s crown robe in the "Jade City Golden Que Communication Talisman" became clearer, taking Wang Yuan one step closer to the realm of the "Yin God."

Not only that.

The good fortune stolen from over a hundred "clothes and crowned beasts" was now swarming towards him.

His Qi fortune, which originally only had two "Red Light Shining," instantly surged. 3, 4, 5... In the blink of an eye, it reached the limit of "Green Cloud Ascending" and even faintly carried a hint of purple aura.

Wang Yuan listened thoughtfully to Xue Donglou’s roar.

"The ’Deceit Object: Old Almanac’, huh? The troublemaking thing has been found, but it’s quite a good treasure.

And... using the ’Killing Dragon’ to rush against the Mirror Lake Dharma Domain would break the Water Dragon Cultivation Formation.

No wonder they wanted to stop me from going to Mirror Lake. As long as I am there, the power of "Exorcism" would probably detect something fishy right away.

Now it doesn’t matter. All I need is to deal with the ringleader of the disaster; there’s no need to care about any formation arrangements.

Ascending fortune is always good; you get what you wish for."

When the time comes, heaven and earth lend their strength; Wang Yuan’s condition had reached its peak since he began cultivation.

His mind was crisp and clear, his eyes were sparkling, looking at the last two "Lord Yama Decrees" on the table.

Two names were written on them, one was Xue Dongjun and the other Xue Donglou.

Only missing were the two individuals’ birth dates and times.

After the switch from public to private, the records of privileged families’ destinies have also been incorporated into family temples; City God Temples don’t keep files, hence there are no birth details of related people.

But as long as Young Master Xue is still a mortal, Wang Yuan has a way to kill him.

Zhu Bo’an had once reported to him, revealing that he had detected an inharmonious presence within Xue Dongjun’s body, as if two people were dwelling in one body.

Quite some time has passed.

Adoption, name change, Stone Buddha Temple fasting... All the events that happened to Xue Dongjun had long since been conveyed to Wang Yuan through the mouths of local officials.

To common people, these might seem insignificant, but to a Magician, they clearly indicated a certain type of ritual.

As a result, Wang Yuan had long harbored suspicions; even though he had truly received a considerable amount of "Yin Morality" originally, the malicious Xue Donglou might not have died at all.

The act of "Feasting Guests with a Slain Wife" also provided circumstantial evidence.

Although currently unaware of what kind of ability or treasure allowed him to revive after his entire body was shattered by the "Rashamon Bone,"

But no matter who he really was, wouldn’t multiple attempts resolve it?

Wang Yuan reached out and grabbed fiercely toward the mirror, yelling lowly:

"Capture Shape!"

The form of Xue Dongjun was instantly plucked out of the mirror by Wang Yuan, slapped onto the two "Lord Yama Decrees" in place of the birth details to lock in the target for the ritual.

"Calamity!"

The paper bearing Xue Dongjun’s name just trembled and then fell silent.

Young Master Xue in the mirror was unaffected.

This meant the target was wrong.

Roar——!

However, the "Water Virtue Flood Dragon" above his head burst into scales, sending out a silent roar into the void, seemingly aware of imminent danger.

Meanwhile, a massive sense of doom also struck Xue Donglou’s heart.

He felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, where one misstep would lead to a bone-shattering fall.

Even with Young Master Huadie and Lady Huaiyu guarding him on both sides, they couldn’t bring him any sense of security.

His face dramatically changing, he instinctively cried for help:

"Save..."

The next moment, Wang Yuan, already extremely disgusted with this person, simultaneously slapped the "Exorcism and Disaster Seal" and "Evil Punishment Seal" onto the "Lord Yama Decree" bearing Xue Donglou’s name.

Bang!

Xue Donglou plunged to the ground, overturning countless bowls and dishes.

However.

Before Wang Yuan could even take a breather, his gaze was captivated by that volume of the "Old Almanac" that Master Qianxing had taken out once more in the mirror.

Originally, the "Old Almanac" was like a balance, with Wang Yuan on one side and the horde of evil on the other, killing each other with fate and Qi fortune.

However, when Wang Yuan used the Stealing Fortune Technique to steal the fortunes of others on the other side of the balance,

A paradox arose: How can one be on the left and right sides of the balance at the same time? Am I to thwart myself?

The "Old Almanac" itself didn’t know the answer.

Thus, the "Old Almanac," already on the verge of being activated, was truly driven mad by the difficult question posed by Wang Yuan!

Rustle rustle...

The "Deceit Object: Old Almanac" leapt up from Master Qianxing’s hands, flipping rapidly in mid-air on its own, all the way to today’s page.

Then, an extremely dense smell of blood instantly filled the hall.

Dark red bloodstains like splashed ink quickly spread over the surface of the calendar, staining page after page into black and red, simultaneously erasing all the original text.

In the end, only the names of the "Daily Evil Gods" were left: Moon Evil, Death God, He Kui, Moon Void, Five Graves, White Tiger...

Circling around a line of blood-soaked words—Nothing is Suitable!!!
