Xie Bangui paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a while, then suddenly pointed at Xiao Jiu and Xiao Qi. By the time Xie Bangui retracted his hand, the two had already fainted on the ground.

Xie Bangui said in a deep voice, "Ye Yang's identity involves secrets of the netherworld, so the fewer people who know, the better. I don't care about the people from your Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall), but it's best if the people from the Thief Sect don't get involved."

Xie Bangui said solemnly, "Ye Yang has three identities."

"You are the reincarnation of Jiu Guan Daoren (Nine Coffin Daoist), the founder of the Coffin Sect. You are also Ma, the Deputy Commander of the Yin Division's Embroidered Uniform Guard, known as the Embroidered Uniform Young Commander. Although his position is slightly lower than the Ten Yama Kings, he is directly responsible to Yama, holding the power of life and death."

"However, very few people know your identity. Apart from Yama, no more than ten people know Ye Yang's true identity."

Before I could recover from the shock, I heard Xie Bangui say, "His third identity is that of Li Chunfeng's disciple, Li Po's senior brother."

I said in shock, "Then my dad is..."

Xie Bangui looked at me and said, "Embroidered Uniform Secret Commander, Li Chunfeng. Li Chunfeng's identity is an open secret among the higher-ups in the netherworld. Many people know about him!"

I was immediately stunned, "Ghost King Xie, you've got it wrong, right? My dad is a living person! How did he become a Secret Guard Commander?"

The name of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy originated in the Western Han Dynasty. They were directly under Emperor Wu of Han, and their power and strength were so great that they could be called a secret army. Later generations, Wu Zetian's Inner Guard and the Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard would all respectfully call them "Old Ancestor."

Xie Bangui said, "I'm not very clear about the internal arrangements of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, I can tell you this."

"Ye Yang and Li Chunfeng are both carrying out Yama's secret orders. The two of them will not stay in the netherworld at the same time. One of them will be reincarnated, and the other must stay in the netherworld to command the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Moreover, Yama has granted the Embroidered Uniform Guard a special permission not to drink Meng Po Soup (Soup of Oblivion) after reincarnation, precisely to facilitate the execution of secret orders."

"More than twenty years ago, Li Chunfeng should have returned, but he didn't. Ye Yang was also reincarnated at that time."

"No one knows what secrets were involved. Perhaps some of you know."

As Xie Bangui spoke, he looked at Chen Shuyu. The latter hesitated for a moment before saying, "When the Lord Official was reincarnated, something went wrong somewhere, causing him to drink Meng Po Soup. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married and had children in the Yang world."

Later, I learned that Embroidered Uniform Grand Commander was what outsiders called the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; inside the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they called him "Lord Official."

Chen Shuyu continued, "According to the internal orders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, regardless of whether the Lord Official returns within the prescribed time, the Young Commander must be reincarnated."

"The Young Commander arranged for me to be reincarnated with him at the time, but we were separated after reincarnation and have never had contact since."

"Later, I met the Young Commander's personal guard. However, at that time, he had not only changed his identity to become a red-robed ghost soldier, but his memory had also been erased, and he couldn't even remember that he had once been an Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"That's when I made a deduction, that the Young Commander himself had also drunk Meng Po Soup."

"Later, based on the time of Li Po's birth, I deduced that the Lord Official should have met the Young Commander once around the time of the blood moon. Not long after that, the Lord Official returned to the netherworld."

I suddenly stood up when I heard this, "Are you saying that my dad is gone?"

Chen Shuyu comforted, "Don't get excited! I didn't say that the Lord Official is dead. The Embroidered Uniform Guard's return to the netherworld can be a return of the person or a return of the soul."

"The return of the person naturally means that his lifespan in the Yang world has ended, and he has completely returned to the netherworld."

"The return of the soul is to use a secret method similar to true soul separation to allow the soul to return to the netherworld for a short time. This secret method is also a unique secret technique of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"The Lord Official made many arrangements on that return, and then disappeared again."

"According to reliable information, the Lord Official went to the Yin Yang Inn."

Chen Shuyu took a deep breath and said, "I think that at that time, the Lord Official and the Young Commander must have exchanged some kind of secret. After the Young Commander met you again, he may have also sensed the coming crisis. In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, he drank Meng Po Soup himself."

"Of course, it is also possible that a certain force poisoned the Young Commander, causing him to forget everything."

I was dumbfounded!

I've lived for so long, and I've never been shocked so many times in one day!

I just felt my head buzzing.

Xie Bangui said, "Wang Hun believes that Li Chunfeng's acceptance of Ye Yang as a disciple was likely to protect the soul of the Ancestor Master. However, Li Chunfeng went to the Yin Yang Inn, and we can't find him for the time being, so we can only look for clues in other directions."

I asked, "What about my master? He wouldn't also be some big shot in the netherworld, would he?"

"Qu Mo is not!" Xie Bangui said, "However, Qu Mo has an extraordinary relationship with Hei Bai Wuchang (Black and White Impermanence). Hei Bai Wuchang's protection of you is also partly due to Qu Mo."

Speaking of this, Xie Bangui waved his hand and said, "I've already said too much about the secrets of the netherworld. You don't need to ask any more questions about the rest."

Xie Bangui looked at Chen Shuyu and said, "I think you should leave Ye Yang for the time being!"
