I felt that something was wrong the moment I received the secret manual. Just as I was about to refuse, I heard Ye Yang say, "There is only Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) in this world, not Yin-Yang lineage. There is only Ye Yang, not Ye Qianyang."

Wang Hun smiled faintly, not responding to Ye Yang's words.

But I knew that they had reached an agreement.

No matter what, Ye Yang was the reincarnation of the Jiu Guan Dao Ren (Nine Coffin Taoist), and his involvement with the art world also connected him to the Coffin Gate.

From a Warlock’s perspective, if Ye Yang brought up his identity as the Patriarch of the Coffin Gate, Xie Ban Gui and Wang Hun would have to defer to him.

No one would feel comfortable having an extra patriarch out of nowhere in the martial world.

In the martial world, brothers and even fathers could turn against each other with swords drawn for the sake of power and profit. How much more so for a reincarnated patriarch?

Ye Yang's active abandonment of his identity as the Jiu Guan Dao Ren was good for everyone!

Wang Hun didn't say anything, and Ye Yang directly helped me put away the sword manual.

Overall, our Liangjie Tang owed the Coffin Gate a favor this time.

Seeing that Ye Yang had accepted the sword manual, Wang Hun said, "There's probably nothing else here, so I'll take my leave."

As Wang Hun spoke, he made a grasping motion with one hand in the air, facing the duan long shi (stone gate), and closed his five fingers. Five finger marks immediately appeared on the iron-hard stone gate.

With only a slight upward lift of Wang Hun's arm, the massive stone was pushed up into the gate with a rumbling sound.

Before the stone gate was fully opened, I heard Wang Hun say, "That ghost-god who cried for help earlier almost exhausted her source to open the passage between the two realms. Whose mother is she?"

I also said in confusion, "None of us are her children. On the contrary, we killed her child."

Wang Hun paused his arm, "What do you mean?"

I briefly explained what I had experienced in Erlin Town.

Wang Hun suddenly understood, "No wonder the Reincarnation Division is against you! In the Reincarnation Division's philosophy, Sha Po Lang (star of the god of slaughter) is the root of chaos in the world."

"When the three stars align, the world will be in chaos. That's why the Reincarnation Division has been trying every possible way to hunt down Tan Lang (Greedy Wolf)."

"One of you three must have the Tan Lang fate, or rather, your souls carry a remnant soul of Tan Lang."

"At that time, one of you must have swallowed the remnant soul of Tan Lang without even knowing it."

Wang Hun explained, "Ghost-gods are different from humans. Humans identify their own children by bloodline, which is what people now call genes. Ghost-gods only recognize the soul."

"In the eyes of ghost-gods, the physical body is not much different from clothing. It can be changed at any time, or even reshaped. Only the soul is eternal."

"Strictly speaking, one of you didn't swallow the remnant soul of Tan Lang, but merged with it."

"Yemei regarded that person as her child. Although it's a bit morbid, it's not entirely unreasonable."

Feng Ruoxing sighed, "Actually, Yemei is a pitiful person."

"She was originally a ghost-god who lived away from the world and practiced diligently, but she was forcibly drawn into the struggles of the art world, used as a pawn, as a tool, and received no sympathy from anyone."

"The Reincarnation Division is too cruel."

Wang Hun laughed, "The most poisonous and difficult to cure poison in this world is the human heart. If you want to cure the poison of the human heart, don't give him a chance to poison you."

Wang Hun had fully opened the duan long shi (stone gate) while talking and laughing. But when he saw the scene behind the stone gate, his expression suddenly changed.

Yemei was no longer behind the duan long shi (stone gate), and only a white dress nailed to the ground by a long sword remained.

Yemei had been killed!

I was shocked.

Wang Hun also roared, "How dare they! To kill someone right in front of me."

Ye Yang, Feng Ruoxing, and I rushed back to the temple at the same time. Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing looked at the white dress, while I went straight to the coffin where Xiaokui was staying, and banged hard on the coffin lid: "Xiaokui, Xiaokui... are you in there?"

"I'm here..." Xiaokui pushed open the coffin herself and poked her head out, looking at me sleepily, "What's wrong?"

The ghost that she had dragged into the coffin had already been eaten by Xiaokui for most of its body. The remaining corpses that had not been eaten were slowly turning into phosphorescent fire.

It seemed that Xiaokui really couldn't eat anymore, so she gave up most of her food and fell asleep in the coffin.

I picked up Xiaokui and handed her to Feng Ruoxing. Xiaokui didn't even say a word and fell asleep again, snoring on Feng Ruoxing's body.

Then I turned around and looked at the white dress on the ground.

At this moment, a line of blood flowed from the hilt of the sword for some unknown reason.

This was clearly a provocation to Wang Hun.

Wang Hun pulled out the long sword with a calm expression, curled up two fingers and flicked it lightly on the sword. A tremor like a dragon's roar instantly reached beyond the sky, traversing Yin and Yang.

After killing Yemei, the opponent left the sword to provoke.

Wang Hun responded with a vibrating sword.

This was a declaration of war between ghost-gods, and it also represented the beginning of a game.

Wang Hun raised his hand and threw the long sword towards the giant coffin floating in the air: "On the Snow Mountain, except for those related to Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall), kill the rest without mercy."

After the coffin-carrying ghosts echoed in unison, they went down the mountain, and eight temples were destroyed in succession. The Reincarnation Division personnel who were still on the mountain were inexplicably attacked by the ghosts, and suffered heavy casualties for a time.

Wang Hun said in a deep voice, "I killed the people of the Reincarnation Division. Do you think I'm too tyrannical and unreasonable?"
