Business?
What official business is it?
Everyone perked up their ears, ready to hear Li Yang's explanation.
Even Wang Ai herself was stunned, a look of reminiscence appearing on her face as she recalled the bad thing she had done that had gotten her caught.
Li Yang took out his phone and dialed Zhao Li's number.
"Hey, Brother Li, there's something I'd like to ask you about."
"Spit it out! I'm catching seafood in Shichahai right now!"
"Nonsense, Shichahai is a freshwater lake, okay... You're not in a seafood market, are you? I can hear the vendors' voices!"
"If you have something important to say, just say it. If you don't have anything else to say, I need to take seafood to the underworld... The King of the Underworld somehow got hold of a blessed land with a huge sea, and she wants me to build a super-sized aquarium!"
The phone rang with Zhao Li's voice, sounding like he was about to cry but had no tears.
Li Yang smiled, then his expression turned serious. "It's like this: while participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, I discovered that the Wang family, one of the four great families of extraordinary individuals, possesses a method of 'spirit absorption,' which allows one to enhance their strength by devouring souls!"
Zhao Li exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, devouring souls? Are they tired of living?"
According to the laws of the underworld, any act of privately controlling a soul is a heinous crime!
How much did he eat?
Li Yang's eyes shone with a clear light as he looked at the hundreds of wronged souls on Wang Ai's soul, so numerous and densely packed that they were difficult to count at a moment.
"There are probably over three hundred..."
"what!"
Zhao Li's voice carried a hint of sharpness, "That guy ate over three hundred souls?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"The disappearance of over three hundred souls in a region is a major case. The local soul ferryman must investigate thoroughly, unless..."
Zhao Li's voice turned low, "Unless the local soul ferryman is corrupt and protects that person!"
"By the way, you just said it was the Wang family, one of the four great families of supernatural beings, right?"
"No wonder. For a cultivation family with such a deep foundation, it's quite easy to manipulate a mere soul ferryman!"
"Alright, I'll report this to Hades, and she can decide what to do next!"
"Hey, over three hundred souls have gone missing. It's been a long time since the underworld has seen such a major case!"
This is true.
In the original story of Soul Ferry, the soul ferryman Murong hunted souls in order to refine ghost pills, but he was discovered by the underworld after only a few attempts!
This shows how strict the underworld is in managing souls!
Thousands of years ago, King Xian trapped 100,000 souls in the Yunnan Insect Valley, and it took hundreds of soul ferrymen over a hundred years to find them!
aside.
Feng Zhenghao suddenly walked over and shouted into Li Yang's phone:
"Brother Li, this is Feng Zhenghao. I want to report someone!"
"The Wang family devoured far more than three hundred souls; that was just the amount consumed by Wang Ai alone!"
"In fact, all of Wang's direct descendants have also devoured souls, and the total number may have reached several thousand!"
Wang Ai's expression changed drastically.
He finally realized who was on the other end of Li Yang's phone.
Soul Ferryman!
The messengers of the underworld, specifically responsible for guiding the souls of the dead!
The Wang family's unauthorized consumption of souls is intolerable to the underworld!
Can be biased.
Feng Zhenghao jumped out at this moment to kick someone when they're down!
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
"Feng Zhenghao, how dare you treat me like this! And the Wang family like this!"
Wang Ai stared at Feng Zhenghao with an extremely ferocious and terrifying gaze, "Don't forget, if it weren't for the protection of your grandfather Feng Tianyang by our Wang family, you wouldn't be where you are today!"
"You knelt before me in that little hut, begging for my forgiveness, and said you were willing to follow my lead. Have you forgotten all that?"
Feng Zhenghao grinned, "Of course I haven't forgotten!"
"Even now, I would kneel before you!"
talking.
Feng Zhenghao actually knelt down in front of Wang Ai.
This scene once again shocked a wave of onlookers.
The dignified president of the World Society, one of the Ten Elders, actually knelt down to another of the Ten Elders?
Big melon!
Shocking big melon!
I had a great time eating!
This is much more interesting than the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony!
[Happiness percentage +1%]
[Happiness percentage +1%]
...
Li Yang is ecstatic! His happiness score is already over halfway through, and he's not far from receiving another big gift!
Wang Ai was completely bewildered by Feng Zhenghao's move.
But then Feng Zhenghao suddenly kowtowed to Wang Ai.
"Feng Zhenghao respectfully invites Elder Wang to his death!"
At this moment, Feng Zhenghao's persona as a ruthless and powerful figure has been firmly established.
He perfectly exemplified what it means to be a man who can bend and stretch!
And at this time.
He saw an opportunity to destroy the Wang family with one blow, and seized it without hesitation!
puff~
Wang Ai's face was filled with shock and anger. Overcome by anger, she spat out blood, which covered Feng Zhenghao.
"Feng Zhenghao, you son of a bitch..."
Feng Zhenghao disagreed and turned to face Li Yang's phone.
"Brother Li, the Wang family got their so-called complete version of the Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique from my grandfather. The most important part is the Spirit Consumption Method, which can enhance cultivation by devouring souls!"
Zhao Li's exclamation came through the phone.
"Damn it, your grandpa Feng Tianyang is such a damn old bastard. When I saw him off back then, he grabbed my hand with a fawning look on his face and said he needed my help with something in the future."
"I thought he wanted me to pull some strings for him so he could be born into a better family, but it turns out that's what he was after?"
"That damn Feng Tianyang, he dug a pit for the Wang family, came up with some bullshit spirit-summoning method, just to trick the Wang family!"
"And he expects me to clean up his ass!"
Hearing Zhao Li cursing his grandfather, Feng Zhenghao could only chuckle awkwardly, unable to find any other emotion.
After all, Zhao Li and his grandfather Feng Tianyang were once good friends.
Grandpa's trick did indeed slightly trick Zhao Li!
After a frantic outburst, Zhao Li managed to calm down. "Li Yang, since this matter concerns me, I'll ask the King of the Underworld for permission to take charge of this major case!"
"You take control of everyone who knows about the case, especially that damned head of the Wang family. We absolutely cannot let him escape punishment!"
The phone hangs up.
Wang Ai's face was ashen, as if shrouded in a deathly aura.
He knew that the Wang family was finished, completely finished!
Devouring souls is unacceptable in the underworld!
The underworld will surely drag all the royal family members who have devoured souls to hell for punishment!
The Wang family, one of the four great families in the world of supernatural beings, is about to be wiped out by him!
"This shouldn't be happening! We absolutely cannot let the Wang family fall from grace in my hands!"
0 ···Requesting flowers···· ···
Wang Ai suddenly looked at Li Yang with pleading eyes.
"Li Yang, please, I beg you, spare the Wang family!"
"If you're willing to let me go, I'll give you anything you want!"
At this moment, Wang Ai genuinely wanted to kneel down before Li Yang and beg him to spare the Wang family!
This scene once again left the onlookers sighing with disbelief.
In just over ten minutes, they actually saw two of the Ten Elders kneel down!
This scene is truly breathtaking!
Faced with Wang Ai's pleading, Li Yang smiled slightly, "All I want are three things... fairness! Fairness! And it has to be fair!"
Beside him, Zhang Chulan muttered under his breath, "Isn't Yang-ge's line plagiarism from Zhang Mazi?"
Feng Baobao immediately matched the brainwaves.
"Hey, how can you call this plagiarism when it involves a righteous official? It's called paying homage!"
Feng Zhenghao had become Li Yang's assistant, volunteering to seal the Qi in Wang Ai's dantian and personally guarding it.
Watching Wang Ai's staggering figure as she left, Zhang Zhiwei sighed, "Why did it have to come to this!"
Lu Jin, standing to the side, was quite philosophical about it, saying, "It's all because of the Wang family's greed and their excessive obsession with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"
"Back then, the Wang family produced a group of courageous men when they fought against the Japanese. Although Wang Ai was a bit simple-minded when he was young, he was not a bad person!"
"But ever since he obtained the ability to control spirits and generals by any means necessary, Wang Ai—no, his entire Wang family—has changed and gone astray!"
Li Yang walked over.
Zhang Zhiwei looked him over curiously. "Li Yang, who exactly are you? How can you contact the Soul Ferryman?"
Soul ferrymen are messengers of the underworld. They conceal their identities when they move among humans, so few people know their true identities.
....... ....
After all, yin and yang are distinct and do not interfere with each other!
But Li Yang was able to easily contact a soul ferryman!
Oh, right.
Feng Zhenghao also seemed to know the soul ferryman.
However, considering that the Feng family are the inheritors of the art of capturing and commanding spirits, and have dealt with various spirits, it is not surprising that they know soul ferrymen.
Li Yang smiled slightly and did not hide his identity. "I am a part-time soul ferryman, you could say I'm a temporary worker."
what?
Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin were taken aback.
"Are you a soul ferryman?"
"Then what's standing in front of us, is it a human or a ghost?"
Li Yang rolled his eyes. "Gentlemen, stop joking. Of course I'm alive. I'm just a part-time soul ferryman!"
