My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 823 - 511: You Took Away What’s Mine (Three-in-One) (Part 2)

"Who?"

"No need to ask too much, my colleague. The matter last night has concluded. This person has been escorted to Yama Hall and will be dealt with by King Yan."

......…

"Hurry up and escort him, don't delay on the way."

"Why is the City God so anxious?"

"I encountered a mysterious Taoist of unknown origin, an unexpected living Yin Official. I thought he was from the other side and went up to inquire, but this person was cunning and cautious, not revealing even a hint of a fox's tail..."

"But this is too rushed, fearing improper preparations on the way might let such a strongman escape."

"I don't care, anyway, this person absolutely cannot be kept; if he runs, let it be elsewhere."

City God Liu snorted coldly, waved his sleeve.

After meeting that living Yin Official, Liu Zheng pondered for a long time before realizing he was overly paranoid, even appearing personally to probe his origins. Reflecting now, the best method would have been not to appear from beginning to end, assuming once he left, he would naturally overlook the existence of the City God Temple.

But it's too late for regret now, the only option is to send away this hot potato immediately, lest night turns into dreams.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take me over there." City God Liu roared when he saw the Night Patrol Deity still stagnant.

The Night Patrol Deity quickly led the way ahead.

In the thick darkness, two shadows flicked by, quickly turning the alley corner and disappearing without a trace. Mortals who saw it only felt a trick of the eye. When City God Liu stopped, they had arrived at a courtyard.

"How is it?" City God Liu asked the Night Patrol Deity.

The Night Patrol Deity shook his head and said, "His temper is more stubborn than a ghost, ignoring good words. We applied some torture, yet his bones are too hard; there's still no way."

"Don't worry about it, hurry up and send him away; once he's with King Yan, it's out of our hands. If anyone intercepts on the way, kill without mercy." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Saying this, City God Liu paused and glanced towards the deep courtyard.

In the pitch-black night, heavy cold chains clinked with faint sounds, as if sensing City God's gaze, a head slowly lifted, suddenly opening fiercely sharp eyes that could make even ghosts shiver.

Despite being tormented, utterly exhausted, the person inside remained physically mighty, showing not the slightest defeat or dejection.

City God Liu hurriedly averted his gaze, saying, "Hurry up and prepare the things, put him on the carriage."

Soon, the carriage was ready, ghost messengers packed the cage onto the carriage, covering it with pitch-black cloth. City God Liu sat on the driver's seat, pointed faintly, and black mist covered the horse's eyes, which then moved out of the courtyard without needing reins.

The entire alley was empty and desolate, hardly a sound, reaching the main street they could see distantly the patrolling constables; they merely scattered to the sides, seeming not to see, bypassing.

The carriage stably passed through the street to the city gate. City God Liu silently exhaled in relief.

Finally sending off this hot potato.

Phew.

Suddenly a sinister wind brushed the neck, before City God Liu could turn back, he saw a blood hole appear on the head of the black horse, its legs collapsed, lying flat on the ground.

He was about to rise when suddenly fell back, at the city gate, a person approached with a lantern.

"Colleague... Why have you come here..." City God Liu's voice trembled.

"Just thought to come and send City God off."

Chen Yi slowly moved forward, the Night Patrol Deity and numerous City God minions' hairs stood on end, difficult to muster the thought for resistance; they watched that person reach out and uncover upward.

The lantern light came suddenly, illuminating the fierce face that did not retreat or avoid, instead confronting head-on.

Chen Yi examined carefully,

turns out it was the He Taixiong whom he had briefly encountered before.

"You're not afraid?"

"A clear conscience fears not ghosts knocking at the door."

He Taixiong's voice rasped, quickly scrutinizing Chen Yi, his brow furrowed slightly, seemingly because this man looked familiar.

Then he immediately clenched his fists, alert because behind Chen Yi, the City God led a group of ghost messengers surrounding.

Liu Zheng's face was solemn, clasping his hands, "Colleague, a City God manages the matters of one place; do not make things difficult for me."

Chen Yi turned and remarked,

"City God Liu repeatedly claims Yin Officials only manage underworld affairs, but how come... this is a living person under arrest?"

City God Liu's eyelid twitched, face becoming ugly, just this statement revealing Chen Yi's ill intentions; he responded:

"Though it's spoken so, this thief colluded with the White Lotus Sect, causing chaos among mortals, not to mention recklessly entering the underworld, slaughtering Yin Cao officials at will, a person of pure evil and chaos between yin and yang, we must intervene..."

"Bullshit!"

Before City God Liu finished, He Taixiong angrily interrupted with a roar:

"Clearly, it was you obeying orders from who knows whom, blocking my way south! You bold Yin Officials, not recognizing good people is one thing, but daring to abuse and deceive me!"

Once said, He Taixiong took a deep breath, quickly whispered to Chen Yi:

"I carry a letter from Hu-Guang Inspector Mr. Han."

Hu-Guang Inspector... Han Xiu? Chen Yi had heard of the name. This person belonged to Prince Jing's Ding'an Party, with a clean record, upright disposition, possessing literary prestige even while in Capital City awaiting appointment. If not for the sudden White Lotus Sect turmoil, his future seemed bright, returning to the Capital for a governmental position soon.

About the Inspector role, overseeing the province's legal prosecution, notably dealing with corruption, violence, litigation, and injustices, being a Third Rank of the senior officials; yet He Taixiong, merely a Jianghu person, had Inspector's letter, the intrigue within was truly thought-provoking.

At this time Liu Zheng hurriedly said, "Colleague, don't be deceived by him, he keeps saying it's a letter, yet no seal is on it, just afraid it's forged by someone unknown."
