Chapter 820 [t.i.tle below]
Liu Yi is slightly surprised. He did not expect that the moment he says that he will return the soul value this scarface would be so proactive!
Indeed even after dying, these brothers are all greedy ghosts.
People die for money, birds die for food. The ancients did not lie to me!
Scarface rolls up his sleeve and says solemnly, "Say it, little brother. Who do you want to meet and I shall drag him out!"
"He is called Qing Yise."
The moment Liu Yi says the name, Scarface nearly kneels down.
"Big brother, are you for real? You want to look for Qing Yise!"
Scarface says with a bitter face, "Why don"t you take away my casino!"
"What"s the matter? Qing Yise has a very huge background?"
Liu Yi sensed something.
"More than just big? Qing Yise is my boss!"
Scarface nearly cries, "Big brother if you have any matter just look for my boss and discuss it with him. Why must you find trouble for me! Have you seen a little brother go and capture his own boss?"
[TL: too many times in other novels…]
"So that is the case…"
Liu Yi suddenly comprehends. Looks like this Qing Yise indeed has some influence in Fengdu City. No wonder Yang Mianmian wants me to look for him.
"Help me find him. Tell him that I came from Kunlun and he will come and meet me."
Liu Yi sits down on the chair by the table and waves his hand, sending him off.
"Can…I"ll go find him!"
Scarface sees that there are no other options and can only go and help Liu Yi look for his boss. As for his little brothers, they start to expel the rest of the people.
"Today we are no longer open. Everyone go back. Tomorrow, come back to gamble!"
After all, it is a discussion between big bosses, naturally, it is not convenient to have outsiders around.
One must say that they are rather efficient. The casino was very full but they had chased all of them away within a few minutes, leaving behind Liu Yi and those little brothers in the casino.
Liu Yi looks around. These little brothers of the casino are all Hungry Ghosts with malnourished and sickly in appearance, which makes Liu Yi reminisce of his own Red Scarf Army. They are a well-trained and powerful army which are called a real underworld power!
Just as Liu Yi is getting bored of waiting. A door in the back of the casino was finally pushed open.
An old man wearing Chinese tunic walks out with a swagger as he strokes his goatee.
This old man is not that short but is slightly stooped. As he strokes his goatee this other hand is holding a large opium pipe. Those who did not know would have thought that this old man is a local ruffian in the early beginning of the Republic of China.
After he had entered, he gazes at Liu Yi up and down.
"It is you who ran over to smash my venue?"
"Yes."
After all, this is the person that Yang Mianmian introduced, thus Liu Yi is very polite as he replied, "I am sorry for disturbing senior"s venue. As for those soul value that I had won earlier, junior will return all of it to senior."
"That"s more like it."
Qing Yise"s expression turns relaxed, "You say that you are from Kunlun? What"s your proof?"
"It"s this."
Liu Yi takes out the jade tablet that Yang Mianmian pa.s.ses to him and shows it to Qing Yise.
"Kunlun Precious Jade? "
Qing Yise takes a long puff of opium and breathed out a smoke ring.
After becoming a ghost and still smoking.
There are really too many things that make Liu Yi unable to understand in this Fengdu City.
Other than being unable to die another time, the people in this Fengdu City seem to be no different from normal people.
Earlier the manager also said to Huang Ziyin that they can eat good food. How is it something that a ghost can do?
But thinking about seems to be reasonable. offering to ancestors or people who died will use some delicious food. The people of the current era would also burn money, house, and the likes.
Looks like netherworld has netherworld"s own life. Especially given to people who are unable to reincarnate.
Qing Yise taps the opium pipe against his leg as he asks, "Why did you run over to Fengdu City, instead of staying in your Kunlun Mountain?"
"Actually junior is only a guest of Kunlun Mountain."
Liu Yi says the reason why he came, "I came to Fengdu City to send a letter to the cultivators of Fengdu City to invite them to take part in the 5 Spirit Gathering that is hosted by our external pavilion…."
Liu Yi says a whole bunch of things while Qing Yise listens while half-understanding.
"It also means that you are here to deliver a letter? You wish to meet the inner pavilion sect in Fengdu City?"
Liu Yi nods his head, "That"s right!"
"This way…"
Qing Yise seems to be considering something before giving a look to a little brother by the side when Liu Yi is not paying attention to him.
This little brother nods his head before leaving silently.
"But after this junior arrived in Fengdu City, this junior realized that it is very weird…the lifestyle here is too weird and is not like the lifestyle of a normal netherworld! Furthermore, this junior has not seen any cultivators…"
"Hahaha, the reason why there are no cultivators is because they are sealed up."
Qing Yise finally said something that shocked Liu Yi. Seeing Liu Yi"s expression, Qing Yise smiles and continue and says, "Seeing that you have some relationship with Kunlun, there is no harm in me telling you. A thousand years ago, Fengdu City was indeed a world controlled by cultivators! At that time, Fengdu City also did not have so many ghosts, only those few cultivators with the ghosts that they reared. The remaining ones are those former residences of Fengdu County those ghosts who are unwilling to reincarnate. Only Fengdu City would accept them."
"Then what happened afterward? Why were the cultivators trapped and why did Fengdu City turn into this? Why is it that the moment Fengdu County people die they would be captured to this place to do labor?"
"I do not know."
Qing Yise puffs his opium pipe, "Also do not know when did Fengdu City change its sky. As for the specific matters I am not clear. If you want to ask, you can only ask those cultivators who were sealed!"
The cultivators…
Liu Yi suddenly recalls the largest Martial G.o.d Image!
Looks like something bad happened to this Fengdu City. While the cultivators were all sealed there! d.a.m.n it, why am I so unlucky to meet with such a rotten matter!
"Right now the current Fengdu City is no longer the same as in the past. Even the cultivators were trapped. Perhaps you will also not have a good time."
Qing Yise breathed out the smoke and says, "Seeing that you come from Kunlun Mountain, I can help you leave Fengdu City and you shall never come back. What do you think? This muddy water is not something that you should enter!"
"Thank you for your kind intention."
Liu Yi shrugs his shoulders, "Delivering the letter is my task. If I did not deliver it to the client, I will not be able to account to my boss! So Senior Qing Yise, if you can help, just tell me just where that d.a.m.n mastermind is! He is delaying my job of delivering the letters so I can only make a trip to handle him."
"You really don"t want your life!"
Qing Yise is startled, "You will risk for life for your job?"
Liu Yi insists, "It is not absolute that I will be throwing away my life. So can senior please help."
"Fine then. Since that is the case, there is no harm in telling you."
Qing Yise puffs some more before saying, "Right now the one in the highest position in Fengdu City is called Sea Ghost Emperor! He is staying in the Ghost Emperor Palace Hall which is located in the center of the city!"
Sea Ghost Emperor?
Sea Turtle? This name is rather d.a.m.ned!
[TL: Sea Ghost and Sea Turtle romanize is around the same. Haǐ Guī 海鬼 and Haǐ Guǐ 海龟]
"Then let me thank senior!"
After knowing all of this useful information, Liu Yi more or less has some understanding in his heart. At the very least, he knows what his next step will be.
"Hahaha, come, come, come. It has been a long time since I had to meet outsiders."
When an underling carries in a wine jar, Qing Yise laughs happily.
"Is is our first-rated Burn Knife! Let us have a few cups as you tell me the news outside and let me know what has changed!"
"Since senior have this request then junior shall fulfill."
Liu Yi nods his head as he takes a wine cup while a little brother by the side immediately filled it up with white wine for him.
A strong wine fragrance emits out as a few underlings cannot help but smell as their craving was aroused.
Liu Yi looks at a little brother who had just swallowed his saliva and raises his cup and ask, "Want a cup?"
That little brother"s expression immediately changes as he quickly shake his head and retreats.
By the side, Qing Yise hurriedly says, "They are all lowly people and do not deserve it! There is no need to care about them! Come, let"s drink!"
"Okay, then junior shall drink first to pay respect."
Liu Yi raises the wine cup and drank the whole cup.
"Hahaha, younger brother has good alcohol capacity!"
Qing Yise instantly smiles widely.
"Senior pr…pr…aise…"
Liu Yi collapsed onto the ground with a -plop- and smashed the wine cup in his hand.
"Hahaha, what an idiot!"
Qing Yise strokes his goatee and smiles in delight, "This wine has been laced with Soul Weakening Powder! After being poisoned by it you will become powerless for three days and nights allowing others to do anything they want to you! This fellow should be worth quite a bit of soul value right, carry him and follow me to the Ghost Emperor Palace Hall!"
A few little brothers immediately puff as they lift up Liu Yi and follow Qing Yise out.
Going out, Qing Yise takes a car as he escorts Liu Yi all the way into Ghost Emperor Palace Hall.
Seeing his car, the Ghost Messengers guarding the entrance to Ghost Emperor Palace Hall let them pa.s.s.
Finally, they drove in front of a palace. Those little brothers are unable to continue in thus Scarface lifted Liu Yi up like a dead pig and follows behind Qing Yise.
In the center of the palace hall stands two rows of Yin Messengers while a number of Ox-head creatures guard the door.
This main hall seems to also be renovated by the slaves, gold and jade in glorious splendor making people have an illusion that they had entered the Forbidden City.
"Hahaha, this fellow is unlucky today."
Scarface who is carrying Liu Yi is standing by the side of Qing Yise who is smoking, "To not know about boss and Sea Ghost Emperor"s relationship and deliver himself to you!"
"Hehehe…this time, wouldn"t Majesty Sea Ghost Emperor make me a big official!"

Chapter 821 [t.i.tle below]
Thinking about this, Qing Yise"s eyes became filled with delight.
Right now, Fengdu City is no longer that ghost city of the past. It is under the rule of Sea Ghost Emperor.
In the past Qing Yise could not imagine that there would come a day when he obtains the appreciation of Sea Ghost Emperor.
He takes the place of Sea Ghost Emperor to control the casinos, tricking the citizens to spend their soul values in the casino to reclaim the soul value.
Of course, Qing Yise did not earn everything. After all, who would enter this kind of casino?
He would always give out some small grace, small benefit at appropriate times, letting one or two citizens strike rich! From there, it attracts even more people to rush like ducks and bite the bait!
Thus, quite a number of citizens gamble their soul values in the casino and some have no choice but to attempt to become a citizen again.
Only those who have over 50k soul value can become a citizen. Anyone who has a value lower than this would be captured for the slave prison!
As for his friendship with Kunlun Mountain, Qing Yise had tossed it behind his head.
Right now the one who gives him ample food and clothing is Sea Ghost Emperor!
Very quickly, a guy wearing golden armor walks in escorted by a group of female ghosts and sits on the dragon throne.
He is wearing a crown that is embedded with numerous precious stones.
He sits there propping his cheek with his hand. His expression is calm as he looks at Qing Yise and Scarface who is kneeling below him.
"This is the fellow who barged into my territory?"
Sea Ghost Emperor"s voice carries a kind of unique magnetism. Although there is a bit of difference between the roaring voice from that night in the sky, it is not that hard to determine that the owner of the voice is the same person.
Qing Yise hurriedly takes the credit, "That"s right your majesty. This fellow ran into my hands on his own and was captured by me!"
Sea Ghost Emperor asks, "His strength is not bad. How did you capture him?"
Qing Yise smiles faintly as he cups his hands and says, "This fellow was drugged by me with Soul Scattering Powder. For the next three days and nights, he will not wake up! Being able to work for Your Majesty is this one"s honor! This one will naturally make an all-out effort!"
"Not bad."
Sea Ghost Emperor nods his head, "Lock him up. After three days, interrogate him. This Emperor wants to know what his background is."
Earlier during the fight over at the Martial G.o.d Images, Sea Ghost Emperor was slightly startled.
Although the strength that he had used was not his full strength, he could escape from right under his eyes, this made him angry as well as shocked at the same time.
I am unable to exit this Fengdu City for over a thousand years. Just how much has changed in the cultivation world outside?
Those that came in are just ordinary mortals who do not know about the matters regarding the cultivation world.
Thus Sea Ghost Emperor was very interested in this person. If I do not dig out everything he knows in his brain, wouldn"t I be letting myself down!
"Someone come! Detain him."
Sea Ghost Emperor orders and two Yin Messengers immediately walk over from the side attempting to grab Liu Yi.
At this moment, Liu Yi who was thrown on the ground suddenly stretches and stand up.
"Senior Qing Yise, have we reached Ghost Emperor Palace Hall?"
This unexpected scene causes the expression of everyone in the surroundings to change!
The surrounding Yin Messengers pull out blades surrounding him, Qing Yise and Scarface in the middle.
"Wow! We are really here!"
Liu Yi looks around the surrounding and claps his hands excitedly, "Thank you Senior Qing Yise, your task is complete. Leave the remaining matters to me."
"What, what are you saying! I, I didn"t….Your Majesty, I didn…"
Qing Yise was badly frightened not knowing how he should explain.
What startled him the most was that Liu Yi who was poisoned by Soul Scattering Powder was wide awake!
How is this possible! How is this f.u.c.king possible!
Sea Ghost Emperor who is sitting on the dragon throne snorts, "Hmph!"
This sound scared Qing Yise badly as his lets start trembling.
"Your Majesty, listen, listen to my explanation…this is a misunderstanding…"
He also did not expect that the moment Liu Yi woke up, he would say such stuff which instantly pushed him into the fire!
As for Sea Ghost Emperor who is sitting there, he raises his hand and aims at Qing Yise before squeezing.
-CRACK-
The sound of bones being crushed rings out but the rest of the people know that this is the sound of a ghost"s soul being destroyed.
Qing Yise"s soul was exterminated and disappears.
"This, this is not related to me…I am only a little brother…"
Scarface was also badly frightened as he subconsciously starts running to the outside.
A Yin Messenger suddenly steps forward as he slashes out with his great blade, beheading Scarface.
Liu Yi does not know what the material of the blade is which can affect a soul.
Scarface"s ending was also extermination. His head rolled very far away before turning into white smoke.
"Aiyah? I was just framing and you took action?" Liu Yi says in astonishment, "You took action too fast."
"You are mocking this Emperor? Foreigner?"
Sea Ghost Emperor"s gaze is cold as he stares at Liu Yi, "You think that with your capability, you can walk out of here alive?"
"This, I truly had not thought about it."
Liu Yi waves his hand as a golden chair appears behind him which he sits on.
"But this place of yours is not bad. If only I wasn"t busy. I would stay here for a few days! But letting ghost girls accompany me, it is too weird. Human kings have 3000 concubines. Is your harem 3000 ghost girls?"
"How dare you! To keep mocking our Majesty!"
A Yin Messenger instantly became angered and stepped forward as his blade chops at Liu Yi"s arm.
Liu Yi did not turn his head as he stretches out two fingers and easily captures the blade between them.
The Yin Messenger"s blade was stuck between Liu Yi"s fingers unable to be pulled out!
The Yin Messenger"s face turned red and at this moment Liu Yi pull with his fingers and that blade was pulled out from that Yin Messenger"s hand before flying out. The handle of the blade smacks against the Yin Messenger"s forehead blasting him away.
"To dare be impudent in the Royal Palace! Take him down!"
The surrounding tens of Yin Messengers immediately charge up as the blades in their hands chop down at Liu Yi impolitely!
While Liu Yi picks up the opium pipe that was dropped on the ground.
"Aiyah…smoking is really bad… affects the health and might also cause a person to die."
As he is speaking, a Yin Messenger had landed in front of him. Liu Yi"s arm transforms into a flash of shadow and stabs that opium pipe into that Yin Messenger"s mouth, piercing through his throat.
"You see, I said that it can cause death!"
Liu Yi kicks that fellow and at the same time, he stomps the ground.
A shockwave spread out and blasts the Yin Messengers in the surroundings away.
These Yin Messengers charged up very quickly and fly out even faster.
In a blink of an eye, these Yin Messengers all smashed into the pillars or walls as they cry out in pain.
"These underlings of yours are too dishonest. You don"t mind that I helped you teach them a lesson, right?"
Liu Yi sits on the chair as he asks Sea Ghost Emperor who is sitting opposite him.
"Little kid, don"t you think that you are too arrogant?"
"Arrogant? Hmm, nope."
Liu Yi shrugs his shoulders, "On the contrary, I feel that you are very interesting. Proclaiming yourself as king in this place that does not have any living people. What is it, could it be that Fengdu City crowns the king who is the most shameless?"
"The more high-sounding a person speaks, the faster he dies."
Sea Ghost Emperor is faintly starting to get angry and Liu Yi can hear the sound of him clenching his fist.
Liu Yi shrugs his shoulders and says, "Looks like we are unable to reach a common understanding regarding this point. I do feel that the more a person chases after influence and power the faster he dies."
"Today, only one person will die here."
Sea Ghost Emperor says with a trace of anger, "This Emperor has already experienced your strength and it is way beneath mine! If you do not wish to die, then say your objective! Who are you and why do you want to intrude into my Fengdu City!"
"This is not your Fengdu City."
Liu Yi laughs, "Fengdu City is a famous ghost town and never had an emperor. I shall come and go as I wish. You wish to control this place? Don"t joke."
"Looks like you do not wish to say anything?"
Sea Ghost Emperor snorts coldly.
"Since that is the case, there is no point in detaining you."
"Hahaha, don"t be so anxious."
Liu Yi waves his hand, "It is with great difficulty that I came here, let"s have a good chat ah. Although I cannot say anything, I have a lot of matters that I wish to ask our Sea Ghost Emperor! Come, Sea Ghost Emperor, don"t be polite. You can say anything that you want!"
"Hmph seeking death!"
Sea Ghost Emperor stretches out his hand and aims at Liu Yi before clenching it.
Liu Yi"s body suddenly appears in the air behind him as he stands on top of a dragon pillar.
As for the golden chair that Liu Yi was sitting on earlier, it disintegrates into wood shavings before disappearing.
Liu Yi immediately recognizes this technique.
"Moon Dream Sutra? So you are someone from Qin Imperial Palace!"
"You know about the Moon Dream Sutra!"
Sea Ghost Emperor trembles as he did not expect that someone would recognize his technique.
"Looks like I cannot let you live!"
He slowly stands up from his throne.
But Liu Yi does not have the urge to fight, "Apologies. Today I do not have the mood to accompany you. Let"s play next time!"
He opens his arms as his body releases an eye-catching golden light!
"Ahhh! So bright!"
"My eyes hurt!"
The surrounding Yin Messengers immediately cover their eyes as they cry out in pain.
As for Sea Ghost Emperor, he only wrinkled his brows as he narrows his eyes.
-boom-
Liu Yi"s entire body transforms into a golden light and dispersed in all directions.
"Sc.u.mbag!"
Sea Ghost Emperor roars in unwillingness!
He knows that this fellow did not self-implode but instead he is escaping!
"Even if This Emperor has to dig three feet under! This Emperor will find you!"
Sea Ghost Emperor roars of anger keep ringing out from within the Imperial Palace.
While at the same time, Liu Yi who is sitting in the prison secretly opens his mouth and swallows a golden bug.
He opens his eyes and looks around the prison.
Those dejected slaves are sitting is the surrounding. Sun Qingchen is also leaning against the wall half dead.
It seems like the situation is getting more and more interesting.
