Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 443 - 440

Chapter 443: 440

Reclaiming his seat beside Huang Wu, Wang Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Although the plan was set, he still needed to carefully select a suitable reincarnation target for his second disciple, Gao Jisheng.

Having him start anew from an infant, even though the "poisoning plan" had been maintained for at least a thousand years and was not in hurry, seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Fortunately, by cultivating the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique," Gao Jisheng could directly retain his memories and freely transmigrate between the six paths of good and evil without going through the Yin Department.

He could reincarnate not only into an infant’s body but also into the body of a dying adult (Chapter 362).

Wang Yuan planned to send Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals to closely monitor the Ghost Peach Forest once he took over the fifth hall.

He had to ensure a top-quality body was found for his prized disciple amidst a group of well-rounded female Asuras, a find that would surely meet his satisfaction!

With extraordinary talent, a soul traversing another world, and the addition of the "Golden Wheel of the Six Paths" akin to a "Golden Finger."

This disciple had a bit of the flavor of a novel’s protagonist.

Before he knew it, Wang Yuan had grown to the point where he could arrange fortuitous encounters for others, a feeling akin to another world.

"This world is full of masters who treat disciples as living elixirs, ready to be sacrificed at any time.

Like me, a master who has painstakingly cultivated and grown for the sake of my disciple’s wellbeing, is indeed a rare sight.

Bo’an and Jisheng must have saved the world in their past lives to have the chance to be my disciples in this one.

Just thinking about it, I can’t help but want to give myself thirty-two likes!"

A nudge from the weary Huang Wu at his ribs with her elbow brought him back to modesty.

"Bo’an is in Chuyun Country, Jisheng will soon be stationed at the Ghost Peach Forest. Having gone through this experience, as long as they can survive safely to the end, they will certainly surpass their peers.

However, as optimal as this cultivation model is, it’s just a bit costly on disciples.

While the Yin Mountain Taoism has hundreds of Yin Officials under its command, having only two disciples really isn’t enough.

’One life begets two, two beget three, and three beget all things.’ The ’Yin Mountain Taoism’ must have three strong pillars to form the most stable structure.

So it would not become a laughing stock when said out loud, as if it’s just three or four cats, big and small.

Just one more, plus me makes four, plus my sister makes five, which, rounded up, is nearly ten—a great faction!"

Yin Officials and disciples serve different roles.

The former is an essential part of the force, while disciples inherit the teachings, expand the Dharma veins, and can incidentally lay the groundwork.

After several months, Wang Yuan finally had the thought of taking another free labor... cough, disciple, once more.

At that moment.

"Xiao Yuan, look quickly, Fengdu City and the Naihe Bridge have finally arrived!"

Following Huang Wu’s voice, he looked out the window.

Below the carriage, on one side was Fengdu City, where the administration such as the ten Yama Palaces and seventy-two departments were located.

On the other side was Naihe Bridge, the last stop for Yin Souls with exhausted Ghost Lives journeying to reincarnation.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

"I don’t want to forget my memory, nobody knows where the three hundred silver I buried in my lifetime are, I still want to retrieve them!"

"I want my revenge! Let me remember the enemy who killed me in my last life, I want revenge!"

Ghostly sobs and wails were heard, the stench was pungent, and the ominous aura soared to the heavens.

It was a place where ghostly cries and divine howls could be heard, with bloody waves churning a thousand zhang high.

Fierce Minotaur and Horse-Face spirits guarded the Naihe Bridge relentlessly!

At the head of the bridge stood a black, red, and white Three-Life Stone, carved and chiseled, as if it had witnessed a battle that nearly shook the foundations of the Yin Department.

The Naihe Bridge was divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower, each made of gold, silver, and iron respectively.

Righteous souls could safely cross the upper gold bridge; those with mixed karma crossed the middle silver bridge; and evil ones could only cross the lower iron bridge that was almost submerged in bloody waters.

A single slip could lead to being dragged under the bridge by the wailing Evil Ghosts, then ferociously bitten by Copper Snakes and Iron Dogs.

The Evil Ghost that had been soaking in the water would then take their place in the cycle of reincarnation.

Across the bridge were six circular pathways, each emitting different colored lights, representing the true "Six Paths of Reincarnation."

A yin-yang whirlwind swept up those Yin Souls.

Whether they were willing or not, they were forcibly taken to the corresponding paths of the three goods and three evils.

Compared to the "Yama Palace Branch" where beautiful female Asuras assisted in reincarnation transactions for a fee.

This place was indeed the true Righteous Path of Heaven and Earth, where good and evil received their recompense!

However.

This scene, no matter how heart-shaking, was not as compelling as the sight of the old lady with a head full of white hair at the head of the bridge.

Every ghost who crossed the bridge had to drink a bowl of Meng Po Soup from her hands first.

Legends say the soup held the flavors of sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, and salty, and drinking a bowl would lead to forgetting one’s past life.

But Wang Yuan knew that this "Meng Po" was also a renowned position among the Heavenly Department Divine Positions.

However, now that the "Yin Department Ghost" had just started, no Immortal Official was able to receive this Divine Position.

Thus, Meng Po was still one of the avatars of the native Heavenly Dao, without self-consciousness, without preferences or dislikes.

She could be seen as a natural phenomenon within the Underworld.

Two sturdy Maids with square faces and half armor stood beside her, obviously strong and hearty.

With fists like pots and arms like old trees, their entire beings radiated a terrifying martial aura.

If there were reluctant ghosts who refused the soup, they would be swiftly grabbed, their mouths pried open, and through a funnel the soup was poured down forcefully.

No matter how ferocious the ghost within their grasp, they were easily subdued like little chicks.

Clearly, they were not ordinary Ghost objects, but two Ghost Officers responsible for assisting Meng Po.

However, after merely a glance, Wang Yuan had just been about to turn the carriage around towards Fengdu City.

When suddenly, from the bridge, came an exclamation of surprise, deep and resonant, like a heavy cannon:

"Could it be Yama’s esteemed presence?"

Looking down, the two Ghost Officers, brimming with masculine vigor, saluted towards the carriage with clasped fists and fervently said:

"Yama, you’ve finally come. This subordinate has an urgent report of life-and-death importance for the Yin Department!"

As the voice spread far and wide.

The Yen Department was boiling with activity in an instant.

Countless Ghost Officers, holding documents and books, swarmed out:

"Where is Yama? I’ll report first!"

"Move aside, it’s my turn!"

"Yama, it’s an emergency..."

...

In the Mortal World, in Jiangzhou near the coast, lay a station on a wild mountain ridge, close to an official road.

The place sprawled widely, exquisitely built, with plenty of food and water and kept very clean.

Yet, it recently acquired a most terrifying name—Lujin Inn!

Because lately people who stayed at the inn often vanished mysteriously in just one night, leaving only their skeletal remains exposed.

This bred its sinister reputation.

Although the number of victims wasn’t high, over time, even travelers who missed their lodging opportunity chose not to stay here.

Only those from out of town, unaware of the circumstances, would stay the night.

Besides its grim and horrifying nature, the only advantage was probably being very cheap.

For Shen Xiaoyu, who was adventuring alone through Jianghu, the appeal of a big tile room, warm bedding, and possibly a hot bath was irresistible.

Having eaten her fill, she fell into a deep sleep soon after nightfall.

She left several empty bowls and plates on the table, and a wine pot appeared to be drunk dry.

At midnight, a delicate sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the bedroom.

Lying in bed with her clothes on, Shen Xiaoyu, next to a short sword in its scabbard, decorated with an angry bronze Buddha, suddenly emitted a humming sound that only she could hear.

Barely opening her eyes, she saw the door being silently pushed open, and a foot stealthily stepping into the room.

Then.

A shadow with blood-red eyes and a grotesquely long mouth, exuding a rotten smell, approached the bedside slowly, one cubit, eight feet, six feet...

The moment it stepped within three feet of the bed’s edge.

The girl, whose face had gained more color in the past few days, suddenly rolled over, grasped the short sword in her hand and shouted low:

"This creature is a Mosquito Poison, bloodthirsty and gluttonous, its obsession is ’Greed,’ Taboo: It must not drink alcohol.

Buddha opens his eyes—please, Sword, suppress the demon!"

Clang——!

The eyes of the Buddha on the sword sheath abruptly opened.

Immediately, a flash of golden sword light, and the shadow was sliced into two parts in an instant.

[Deceit Object·DemonSuppression Sword]:

Ability: Has no requirements of the owner herself, just meet certain conditions to instantly slay corresponding "Weird" creatures.

The origin of all "Weird" creatures are sentient beings.

In this world, there is not a single pure "Weird" entity without a trace of humanity or obsession, only deceit remaining.

And that trace of obsession is their Achilles’ heel.

You just need to find the other’s "Body," "Obsession," and "Murder Taboo" as three preconditions.

Speak them out loud, and you can draw the DemonSuppression Sword to kill in one strike!

Taboos:

"First, effective only on ’Weird’ entities, it can’t kill even a rabbit.

Second, fail just once, and your body and mind will be contaminated by the DemonSuppression Sword. You will become a Sword Slave controlled by it, then bit by bit be consumed by it in the process of slaying Weird entities and suppressing demons."

After leaving the "Cloud Tower Ghost Market" and picking up a piece of Broken Silver, Shen Xiaoyu clearly had another adventure.

It might be because her bond with her "Heavenly Yi’s Noble" was too shallow and her Qi Fortune insufficient.

The nature of this serendipity as either an opportunity or a crisis is still uncertain.

A single misstep could result in death.

Of course, Shen Xiaoyu, who possessed the [Heavenly Yi’s Noble] quality yet severely lacked knowledge of cultivation customs, was completely unaware of this.

Although she felt it was always best to have the help of a noble person, she would not sit around waiting for pie to fall from the sky.

She didn’t care whether her fortunes were good or bad.

To shed one’s own sweat and eat one’s own food, to not rely on heaven, earth, or ancestors is to be a real hero.

To live, one must rely on oneself!

Treading over the bloody corpse of the Mosquito Poison, the bold girl nodded to herself:

"Yes, I, Shen Xiaoyu, must rely on myself!"
