Lao Liu's suggestion was similar to what I was thinking.

Although the ancestral master had ended our entanglement with the Coffin Gate, some things couldn't be simply written off with a single sentence.

They would still have some feelings or entanglements with the Coffin Gate. My proactively provoking the Coffin Gate would make things difficult for them. However, if the Coffin Gate came to provoke me, that would be a different story.

I was waiting for them.

On the second day after Lao Shang left, the two ancestral masters rushed over. I asked them about the lawsuit with the Wen Chen faction, and Hei Wuchang (Black Impermanence) simply said, "There won't be a result anytime soon."

I figured as much.

Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence) took out two silver-crafted inspector-general tokens: "You've successfully advanced. This is a fourth-rank inspector-general token. You did pretty well this time, didn't disgrace our brothers."

"Once you advance to the fourth rank, you have to be careful. Not many Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren above the fourth rank are simple characters. Lao Liu was able to take advantage once by surprise, but that doesn't mean he can do it every time."

"The struggles between Yin Division secret decrees and Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren above the fourth rank will be even more cruel. Many secret decrees come from certain forbidden areas, and the targets the secret decrees have to deal with are mostly Earth Souls who have cultivated into ghost-gods. You have to be extra careful."

"Don't become the shortest-lived fourth-rank Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren."

I picked up the token and couldn't help but ask, "Are all Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren above the fourth rank Transcendent Realm experts? Are there even more powerful experts?"

Bai Wuchang shook his head and said, "The advancement of Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren doesn't depend on cultivation, but only on merit. Even if you don't know anything, as long as a master takes you to accumulate merit, you can still advance."

"The strength of a fourth-rank Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren is not measured by cultivation. Many Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren have low cultivation, but are full of schemes and can even plot against ghost-gods."

"Don't be arrogant and look down on others just because of your cultivation. In the martial world, cultivation doesn't represent everything."

"If you don't have heaven-defying cultivation, it's best not to underestimate any opponent!"

I nodded and said, "Thank you for your teachings, ancestral master!"

Hei Wuchang said expressionlessly, "Insincere! Slippery!"

I even suspected that Ye Yang was taught by Hei Wuchang. How could the two of them be so similar?

However, I could only say this in my heart. I wouldn't dare to say it in front of Hei Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang thought for a while and said, "I sent those years of life force you had to Bai Hanfei's daughter for you. Consider it as us forcibly injecting the life force into her body! In short, we've already done what you wanted us to do for you. As for the result, it's good as long as you don't regret it."

I asked somewhat inexplicably, "What do you mean by forcibly injecting?"

Bai Wuchang said, "That girl said: 'I don't want anything from my father's killer.' We had no choice but to use force."

"Killer of her father? Where did that come from?" I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Bai Wuchang said, "It's all because you're being sentimental, wasting your life force for nothing."

The reason I asked Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang for help was actually to try to take a shortcut.

Life force issued directly from the Underworld wouldn't suffer any loss, but it had to be stated in advance whose life force it was. Once it was stated, it would be wasted if the other party didn't use it.

If the Underworld gave the life force to me first, and then I transferred it to someone else, half of it would be lost for no reason, which was too uneconomical.

Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang didn't expect this result either. Before taking action, they wrote Bai Hanfei's daughter's name on the life force. When the other party refused, they were dumbfounded and could only force it on her.

Bai Wuchang glanced at me coldly, "That girl said that you giving her life force is giving her a chance to kill you for revenge. After killing you, she will commit suicide to return your life force. Do you understand?"

"Damn it, she's a psychopath!" I couldn't help but curse.

In this world, sometimes you really can't be a good person. If you're a good person, you might not get a good reward!

I admired Bai Hanfei's dedication to the path of術道 (shù dào, the esoteric arts), so I wanted to do something for him, but I ended up making a fool of myself for no reason.

Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang left, and I was depressed for a day. Later, I simply told Feng Ruoxing: "Go find that forensic doctor, Mo Caiwei. Didn't we promise to take on a business deal for her? Let's take on the business first."

Feng Ruoxing went to the autopsy center, but couldn't find Mo Caiwei, so the matter was delayed.

After I rested in Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall) for half a month, Mo Caiwei took the initiative to come to my door.

That was the first time I saw Mo Caiwei's full appearance. She was just as I had judged, naturally carrying a kind of spiritual energy. I led her to the living room: "Miss Mo, I don't like to beat around the bush. Just tell me about the business! I'll quote a price, and you can bargain."

Mo Caiwei rubbed her hands and said, "I didn't expect Hall Master Li to have time so soon. I've been away for the past few days raising money. In my opinion, this business will definitely have a high commission. I don't know if the money I've raised is enough? Maybe I'll need a few more days..."

Lao Liu spoke up at this time: "If our Liangjie Tang doesn't have enough commission, you can pay with business."

I was just about to say: When did our Liangjie Tang have this rule? When Lao Liu stepped on my foot under the table. This old fox, is he planning something again to expand Liangjie Tang?
