My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 546: Li Yang's Tomb
Great Peng’s speed was indeed fast. In just one day, Qin Feng and his group had arrived back in Jinyang City in the Southern Domain.
Today’s Jinyang City had officially become Heavenly City, and both its size and defensive strength had changed significantly.
And long ago, Qin Feng knew that Shi Zheng, who liked to visit brothels, had already entered the fourth level of Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage under Master Zhou’s strict teachings, and had become the head of the Demon Slaying Department here, which could be considered a great leap forward for him.
When he arrived at the Demon Slaying Department and asked some of the demon slayers, he learned that Yang He and Zhang Tiannan were out on a mission and were not in the department at the moment.
Looking at Si Zheng buried under piles of documents in the hall, Qin Feng smiled silently and left.
However, before he left, he left behind several jars of Immortal Drunkenness.
The Qin family’s old mansion was being looked after, but Sister Mo and Xiao Bai were no longer there.
The Moon Viewing Pavilion’s business was still thriving, and the plan to open branches in the Heavenly City in the southern domain was fully entrusted to Manager Peng.
Today’s Manager Peng was considered a prominent figure in Jinyang City.
Arriving at the street where the Listen To Rain Pavilion once stood, Master Baili, who liked to lie on a wicker chair with a pot of wine beside him, was long gone.
The son of the middle-aged candy apple vendor was still sitting by the stall, holding the book in his hand and reading diligently.
Qin Feng’s eyes revealed relief, yet he couldn’t help but let out a sigh. He felt that life was just like this— the departed pass away swiftly, never separating from day and night.
Finally, he arrived at Senior Li Yang’s grave with his two wives.
The tombstone was regularly cleaned by the servants of the Qin family, free of weeds, clean and tidy, and the inscription on it was clearly visible.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was actually a wine jug next to the tombstone.
The wine pot was very familiar. It was clearly Master Baili’s wine pot!
There are still faint wine stains on the ground in front of the tomb, which are still wet. This shows that Master Baili has just been here not long ago!
Qin Feng glanced around hastily, but apart from the unbroken mountain ranges and the rustling trees rustling in the breeze, there was no sign of anyone.
‘I must have missed it.’ He shook his head with some regret, then walked to the front of the tomb and muttered to himself, “Senior Li, why did you bring me here? What do you want to tell me?”
His right hand brushed over the gravestone, and to his surprise, a golden light emanated from the inscription on the gravestone. Then, a clear qi descended from the sky and poured into Qin Feng’s head.
Everything happened too suddenly, and Qin Feng felt his vision darken as his head seemed to explode.
Amidst the confusion and chaos, fragmented images flashed through his mind. Among them, a voice sounded very familiar – it was Senior Li Yang!
Intermittent words echoed in his ears, conveying some kind of message to Qin Feng.
“Five thousand years ago, the Netherworld was invaded.”
“This existence destroyed the laws of the Netherworld, rendering it incapable of attracting departed souls.”
“Reincarnation was impossible. The former Ghost Lord perished, and the Four Ghost Kings struggled.”
“The Ghost Lord left behind a soul seed. A thousand years to return, a thousand years to incarnate, a thousand years to enlighten, a thousand years to descend.”
“Now the Netherworld welcomes a new Ghost Lord, but that existence is still wreaking havoc.”
“The cracks in the Netherworld realm have opened. I may have closed them, but what’s done is done. They will surely find a way to reopen them.”
“Be careful, be careful.”
“The Immortal Realm is already…”
Intense pain tore through Qin Feng’s every nerve. It seemed as if Heaven and Earth were preventing Li Yang from transmitting information from the Netherworld to the mortal realm.
Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan were extremely worried and rushed forward to check on Qin Feng’s condition.
This scene happened suddenly. The two of them obviously only saw their husband touching the tombstone, and then he looked like this.
The chaotic information continued to swirl in his mind, as if it wanted to split Qin Feng’s brain open.
Qin Feng could have chosen to stabilise his mind and ignore these messages.
But he had a feeling that if he didn’t try desperately to remember, these messages would be like illusions, instantly forgotten.
So he clenched his teeth and held on.
It wasn’t until the time it takes for an incense stick to burn that the storm in his mind finally subsided.
Qin Feng was kneeling on the ground, with veins popping out on his forehead and breathing heavily.
He managed to sort out a few clues from the jumble of information.
Su Tianyue’s assumption was correct. There had indeed been some kind of anomaly in the Netherworld Realm, with a terrifying presence descending upon it, not only killing the previous Ghost Lord, but also destroying the laws of the Netherworld.
However, whenever Senior Li Yang mentioned this presence, his voice seemed to be eliminated, making it impossible to hear!
Senior Xuan Yi had been in Qin Feng’s Divine Sea all along and had witnessed all these sporadic scenes.
When Qin Feng regained his senses, he said in a deep voice, “An existence beyond transcendence, beyond the laws of heaven and earth.”
“Unless you can reach the same level as them, no one can comprehend their existence, nor can anyone hide their name.”
“The reason you cannot hear their names is because of this.”
“They, the realm of transcendence.”
To be able to invade the Netherworld, the power of such an entity must be astounding.
But what worried Xuan Yi and Qin Feng the most was what Senior Li Yang was trying to say, and what exactly happened in the Immortal Realm?
Could it be that something similar to what happened in the Netherworld happened in the Immortal Realm, or even worse?
“Husband, are you all right?”
With his wife’s worried cries echoing in his ears, Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes and shook his head, “I’m fine, just a bit dizzy.”
“What happened to you just now?” Liu Jianli asked worriedly.
With Cang Feilan’s support, Qin Feng slowly stood up, glanced at Senior Li’s tombstone, and said seriously, “Let’s go back to the Imperial City now, and I’ll explain in detail on the way.”
With such important news, he must inform the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower!
The Golden-winged Great Peng soared into the wind, carrying Qin Feng and his party towards the Imperial City.
After the dust settled, the wine pot placed next to the tombstone unexpectedly shattered into pieces and turned into powder.
Soon, an old man slowly walked up to the tombstone and gently touched the inscription.
If Qin Feng were here, he would surely be extremely excited, as this old man was his Master Baili – Mr Baili!
“When that boy carved this epitaph for you, it became a treasure of literature.”
“I tried to activate it with the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect that it would actually open a gap between the Netherworld and the mortal world.”
“And you, along with a hundred thousand heroic spirits, were able to enter the sealed Netherworld for five thousand years.”
“Incarnations capable of killing even the Lord of Ghosts. It seems that the anomaly between the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld has far exceeded my expectations.”
“Will the mortal realm be able to continue amidst this catastrophe?”
There was a deep weariness in the dark eyes of Old Bai Li.
Suddenly, a corner of the tombstone cracked open.
At the same time, the dust on the ground gathered to form a line of characters – “Protect that boy”.
A gust of wind blew away the dust.
Old Man Baili raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “My disciple, of course I will protect him well. Why do you have to tell me? Besides, that kid may be a variable in this catastrophe.”
