My Master Disconnected Yet Again

"Brother Feng, there"s something important that I need your help with . " The person who appeared out of thin air was Zhu Ming, and he was looking at Feng San with a panicked expression on his face .

"Brother Zhu? This is…" Feng San stared blankly back at him . He had not expected Zhu Ming to suddenly appear, and in this fas.h.i.+on no less . Although teleportation would allow one to travel hundreds of thousands of miles in a second, it required a huge amount of energy . Unless it was a matter of life and death, ghost immortals would not teleport .

Zhu Ming was obviously extremely anxious . "Brother Feng, can I ask where the three people who came to the Divine Underworld earlier…" He stopped mid-sentence on seeing Shen Ying next to him . His eyes brightened and he cupped his fists immediately . "That"s great, you all are still here . Mother Feng… Mother Feng is in trouble . "

"What"s the matter with her?" Lonemoon walked up, shocked .

"I don"t know what"s happened to her either . Her soul suddenly became extremely unstable," Zhu Ming said anxiously . He scanned the room and rested his gaze on Shen Ying . "May I please ask this Exalted G.o.ddess to come back with me and save Mother Feng?" He had observed her when she broke the array earlier . This Exalted G.o.ddess whose surname was Shen had a cultivation level higher than what it appeared as . If anyone could save Mother Feng, it would be them . He had no other choice but to come and look for them here .

Shen Ying and Lonemoon exchanged a look and decided to go and check things out . Afterall, this whole matter about missing remnant souls probably had something to do with Mother Feng as well .

"The few of us will go and check in on Mother Feng first," Lonemoon said as he addressed Feng San and Long Zhen . "May I trouble both divinities to go to Ling Tai Mountain first to ask about the missing remnant souls?"

The two of them scanned the group worriedly . "But you all…" Feng San"s expression reflected confusion . He could not understand why Zhu Ming came here not to ask him for help, but to ask his son"s weak-looking master for help . He was just about to persuade Zhu Ming to change his mind when he caught Long Zhen glaring at him . He swallowed his words .

"Thank you, friends . " Zhu Ming quickly thanked the three of them upon hearing that they would follow him back . He urged the few of them to teleport with him .

Everything went dark for a second, then they found that they had arrived in the Divine Underworld . They were surrounded by ghost Qi and travelling souls . In front of them was a foreign temple that was covered in thick Yin Qi . It was obvious that this was where Zhu Ming lived .

Half of the originally tall temple had crumbled into pieces . From inside, they heard intermittent screaming and could faintly see the red glow of an array .

"Mother Feng is right here," Zhu Ming exclaimed . He led the group into the temple .

The inside of the temple was in ruins . Everywhere, the walls were shattered . All that remained was the st.u.r.dy glowing array in the middle of the hall . In the middle of the array was Mother Feng, who looked as crazy as when they first saw her . She was attacking the array that trapped her . Both her eyes were bloodshot and she looked like to be in extreme pain .

The key thing was that there were nine Mother Feng"s in the array . Each was taking turns to scream, wail and groan in pain . Each one crashed into the walls of the array with greater and greater force, until cracks began to appear on the array .

"Mother Feng!" Zhu Ming shouted, rus.h.i.+ng forward to conjure a seal to hold the array in place .

"Her soul has been split!" Lonemoon shouted, turning to face Zhu Ming . "What happened?" The different parts of her soul should have been connected to one another . As long as they were not in the soul-splitting array, they should gather back as one . Why was Mother Feng"s soul splitting into more parts?

"I don"t know either . She just became like this all of a sudden . No matter what I did, her soul would not gather back together . I had no choice but to trap her in this array," Zhu Ming explained as he mended the array . He turned to Shen Ying pleadingly . "I had no choice but to trouble the few of you . The last time, you were able to break the Soul-Splitting Array . This time, can you please help me find out what"s wrong with Mother Feng?"

Lonemoon frowned . "We can"t tell what"s wrong with her either . " Mother Feng was different from Chef . She was missing her primary soul, not her remnant soul .

Zhu Ming"s face fell . He was beginning to panic again .

Mother Feng"s movements in the array became weaker and weaker . It seemed like she was getting tired . Or perhaps her split souls could no longer withstand the torture . Yet, her screams and wails were getting louder and louder . Each word overflowed with indignation so that it seemed like the entire Divine Underworld echoed with her hatred .

"I hate what you did to me! Why?"

"Every mountain and valley, staying together for eternity, hahaha… liar, all lies!"

"I will not die, I won"t die! Even if I become a ghost forever, and am not allowed to reincarnate, I will drag you all down into h.e.l.l with me forever!"

"Great justice, cutting off your emotions to achieve enlightenment… it was all a lie! Return my life to me! Return it to me!"

Her voice was becoming more and more ear-piercing and each sentence became louder than the last . Black Qi began to appear on Mother Feng"s originally transparent souls . It did not look like the Yin Qi of ghost immortals and neither did it look like demonic Qi . Her outraged energy rushed toward the sky, threatening to fill up the entire atmosphere . "

"Grievance aura!" Zhu Ming"s eyes widened in disbelief . "How… how can this be?" Although everyone who became a ghost immortal had died with huge grievances, this was the Divine Underworld . The Divine Underworld"s Yin River could remove all the grievous energy so that ghost immortals would not be forced to descend into insanity . That was why it was not easy for ghost immortals to leave the Underworld . Yet, Mother Feng had so much grievous energy despite her soul having split .

Zhu Ming"s eyes remained wide as he realised something . His face drained of all color as he muttered, "Could it be… she still can"t let go . "

"There is one soul missing in the array," Xuan Tong cried out .

Everyone jumped back in shock and turned to look . Indeed, of the nine Mother Feng"s that they saw in the array, only eight were left . And each of them had a huge amount of grievance around them . A moment later, five of the souls became surrounded by grievances and began to gather, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force .

"Spirit Convening in Grievance," Bai Ze muttered, his jaw hanging open . All that grievance was helping her parted souls to gather back into one .

"No, this would cause Mother Feng to be swallowed by the grievances . " Zhu Ming became even more worried as he conjured a seal hurriedly . Yet, he could not produce anything .

The different parts of Mother Feng"s soul had already more or less gathered into one . The wailing and screaming stopped . Mother Feng"s black robes and messy hair blew about in the middle of the array . Two trails of blood remained on her face .

Suddenly, she quietened down and lost her craziness . For some reason, those two blood eyes seemed to brighten . Her gaze fixed on where the group was . All of a sudden, she broke into a cold toe-curling grin .

"Mother Feng…" Zhu Ming took a step forward .

Mother Feng"s grin widened from ear to ear . Her eyes were almost bulging out of her sockets when she suddenly laughed . "Heh heh heh… you were an accomplice . You all deserve to die . Return me my life, will you… Junior Brother?"

"You… remember?" Zhu Ming"s eyes widened as he stiffened .

Mother Feng raised her arms and screaming, causing a gust of grievous aura to charge toward Zhu Ming . All around them, the Yin Qi retreated to make way for the grievances which looked like they was about to swallow him whole .

"Zhu Ming!" Lonemoon screamed, throwing a ball of sword Qi toward Zhu Ming so that he was pushed out of the way of the grievous aura . The ground began to shake and the temple which was already half-destroyed, fell to the ground in a heap of rubble .
