Chapter 20


    Chapter 20 Yuniang, the Vengeful Spirit


    The remnant souls in the courtyard were too weak to interest Zhou Yi. ording to his guess about


    ghosts in his previous life, there was definitely a ce where real ghosts existed.


    Sky Prison.


    There were many people who were imprisoned and tortured to death all year round, which fit the


    conditions of vengeful spirits.


    “The reason why prison guards’ lifespans are short might be because they are apanied by ghosts


    day and night, and their lifespans are damaged by yin energy. I’ve been in the Sky Prison for more than


    twenty years, but I’ve never heard of malicious ghosts harming anyone, so they’re not powerful people.


    “I’ll draw another House Suppresion Talisman and try it tomorrow in the Sky Prison.”


    Zhou Yi nned to stay in the mortal world for a few hundred years until his cultivation could no longer


    improve. Then, he would think of a way toe into contact with the cultivation world.


    During this period, the Sky Prison was considered a base. He had to clean up the ghosts hiding in the


    dark. Firstly, it was to prevent the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life from being leaked. Secondly, no one was


    willing to let ghosts spy on them.


    After drawing the first House Suppression Talisman, Zhou Yi started drawing again. It was much


    smoother. After destroying more than ten talismans in a row, he finally seeded in drawing them


    again.


    “It doesn’t seem that difficult to learn the basics of talismans. Yu Jie has someone guiding him for


    several years without seeding. Could it be that I have some talent in talisman crafting?”


    Zhou Yi was quite proud of himself. Although making talismans was not as rich as refining pills, it would


    also be a skill to make a living in the cultivation world in the future.


    The next day.


    When he arrived at the Sky Prison early in the morning, Zhou Yi was not sure about the effect range of


    the House Suppression Talisman, so he specially found a central position to activate it. An invisible


    wave swept across the cell, causing a cold wind to blow. The wind was mixed with faint cries and wails.


    The cold air brushed past his ears like someone whispering.


    “There are indeed many ghosts!”


    Zhou Yi looked around the prison. It could be said to be their of ghosts.


    A humanoid shadow hung from the roof, like a bat hanging upside down in a cave. Pairs of red eyes


    looked at Zhou Yi in unison. Most of them were cold and heartless, while some were filled with hatred.


    They should have died at Zhou Yi’s hands when they were alive.


    There were more of them in the cells. There were those squatting in the corners, those lying on the


    walls, and those lying on the straw mats in various postures. Prisoners slept with ghosts every day.

    Even if there was no torture, they would not live long after being corroded by the yin energy day and


    night.


    A shadow emerged from the ground and silentlyy on Zhou Yi’s back. The arm condensed by the fog


    was wrapped around his neck.


    “Hmph!” Zhou Yi’s true essence seeped out of his body, and the shadow melted into nothingness


    amidst his screams. “I’m merciful, so I’ll send you to reincarnate!”


    His true essence turned into sword energy and swept over as fast as lightning. The remnant soul did


    not even have time to escape before it was shattered.


    “Senior, please spare me…”


    The woman’s cry came from the roof. A shadow slowly changed, and a human face appeared above


    her head. A misty fog condensed into an emerald-green gauze robe.


    “A female ghost!”


    Zhou Yi’s figure shed andnded in front of the woman. He sized her up with interest. “You look


    familiar?”


    The woman said, “Senior, I’m Huang Yuniang, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Huang Heng. I was


    imprisoned a year ago, and you took good care of me…”


    “You’re Huang’s daughter?”


    Zhou Yi quickly recalled Huang Heng. A year ago, he was wrongly used of embezzlement.


    A mere fifth-grade official was charged with embezzling 3,000 taels of silver. He was originally not


    qualified to enter the Sky Prison, let alone his wife and daughter.


    The reason for this was very simple. The famous old pervert in the Divine Capital, Duke Wei, had


    identally seen Huang Yuniang’s beauty. Ignoring his reputation as a duke and the jokes of the


    world, he had actually sent someone to the Huang family to propose marriage.


    He said that he would take Huang Yuniang as his concubine and protect Huang Heng’s promotion and


    wealth in the future!


    Huang Heng prided himself on being from a schrly family. How could he ept such humiliation?


    So he scolds Duke Wei for being shameless. Within a few days, he was reported by his colleagues that


    he had received 3,000 taels of silver from the merchants during the renovation of the Imperial College.


    Duke Wei’s original intention was to lock the family of three in a prison to sober up and continue to be


    inws in the future. Who would have thought that Huang Heng would die in just a short month? His


    wife also left in depression. In order to avoid being bullied by Duke Wei, Huang Yuniangmitted


    suicide in prison.


    Zhou Yi pitied the Huang family. When he delivered food, he would always scoop a few spoonfuls of


    thick porridge.


    “At that time, you were disheveled. I was wondering why Duke Wei was so anxious and actually liked


    you.”


    “Father said that many women in the Sky Prison were humiliated and asked me to dirty my face so


    that…” Huang Yuniang corrected herself. “You’re different. You only know how to punish bad people


    and evil people. You have never mistreated anyone.”


    “You saw everything?”


    Zhou Yi’s voice was calm as he shed out with his True Essence.


    After Huang Yuniang turned into a vengeful spirit, she was extremely sensitive to auras and hurriedly


    exined.


    “I know that you are a Connate Grandmaster and like to drink. You like to listen to prisoners tell stories


    and secretly kill evil people who try to escape from prison. You turn a blind eye to those who escape


    with grievances…”


    “Yeah.”


    After Zhou Yi had mastered the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique in the past two years, he could


    not increase his True Essence by devouring inner Qi, so he did not expose anything abnormal. The


    only w was probably that his appearance would never change!


    “Why are you different from those remnant souls?”


    There were more than a hundred ghosts in the Sky Prison. Apart from Huang Yuniang, they were all


    muddle-headed remnant souls.


    Huang Yuniang answered obediently, “Senior, after my death, my soul was attached to the jade hairpin.


    I was nurtured by the jade hairpin to preserve my spiritual memory.”


    Zhou Yi asked again, “Do you know any divine powers or spells after bing a ghost?”


    “I can absorb human essence and strengthen my ghost body. I can also possess and disturb people’s


    souls.” Huang Yuniang said, “However, I can only possess ordinary people who are weak. It’s difficult


    for me to approach those who have strong Yang energy in their bodies. Those martial arts experts who


    have cultivated well have dense and powerful blood qi. If I get close, it’ll be like a fire burning


    me.”

    Zhou Yi nodded slightly. “Are you nning to hide in the Sky Prison and not reincarnate?”


    The vengeful spirit was far worse than expected, but it made sense. After all, it had only been a new


    ghost for a year.


    “The hatred of my parents is irreconcble!” Huang Yuniang knelt on the ground and begged, “Senior,


    please help me. After avenging my parents, I’m willing to offer my life, which is the jade hairpin, and


    serve you every night!”


    Zhou Yi was stunned and said angrily, “What are you talking about?”.


    Huang Yunan muttered, “I hid in the dark and heard you and your colleagues talking about Spring


    Breeze Tower and Flower Queen every day, so I thought you were a yboy.”


    After her entire family died in vain and she turned into a ghost, Huang Yuniang thought it through. What


    bullsh*t etiquette? As long as she could avenge her parents, she was willing to be a ve.


    “My surname isn’t Ning!” Zhou Yi was not interested in riding a ghost and said, “There are many people


    in the prison who are worse off than you. Just relying on a jade hairpin is not enough to transform into a


    ghost. Is there any other reason?”


    Huang Yuniang was silent for a moment before saying, “I was good at reading ancient books when I


    was alive, so Father specially collected some ancient books. One of them is the Dao Scripture. I read it


    day and night.”


    Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up. “Read it out loud!”


    “The Daoist scripture is called ‘Rejuvenation Theory of Perfected Qingwei.” Huang Yuniang recited,


    “Human beings are born with yin and yang… Any mind-nourishing technique, the heart is like a baby,


    and the heart is quiet…”


    After memorizing it, Zhou Yi recited it a few times. As expected, he felt refreshed and could vaguely


    sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more clearly.


    “Didn’t your father read such profound scripture?”


    Huang Yuniang muttered, “Father could have been a ghost, but he only had one jade hairpin as a


    possession. Before he died, he told me not to do anything evil, so he chose to dissipate his soul.”


    “Old Huang is a little stupid, but his personality is unyielding.” Zhou Yi asked, “How can I help you


    avenge Duke Wei?”


    It was difficult for anyone below the same level to track down the assassination attempt of a Connate


    Master. A wisp of true essence was attached to the target’s body, and it would explode on its own when


    it was far away. If he waited slowly for an opportunity, when the other party identally fell and


    bumped into him, he would take the opportunity to stir up a few things in his mind.


    The world would only think that Duke Wei had done all the bad things and identally fell to his death.


    This was a method that Zhou Yi had thought of in a short period of time. How could there be any


    Connate Grandmaster who would go through such trouble? There was a high chance that they would


    attack the Wei Family and kill him in front of everyone.


    A chuunibyou said, “A grandmaster cannot be humiliated.” How domineering!


    “I must avenge my parents with my own hands.” Huang Yuniang said, “I’m weak and can’t leave within


    a hundred feet of the jade hairpin. Senior, please help me ce the jade hairpin under Duke Wei’s


    bed.”


    “That’s easy.” Zhou Yi said, “After you take revenge, you can either change ces or reincarnate.


    Anyway, don’t stay in the Sky Prison anymore.”


    “Senior, can we go to the Imperial Prison?” Seeing Zhou Yi’s expression darken, Huang Yuniang


    hurriedly said, “I’ll have to trouble you to send me out of the Divine Capital and find a shady ce.”


    Zhou Yi asked, “Why are you unwilling to reincarnate?”


    Huang Yuniang said, “Even ants try to survive. I don’t know if there is reincarnation in this world. Even if


    there is, the reincarnated body is not the same person.”


    Zhou Yi nodded in agreement. “Remember Old Huang’sst words.”


    Huang Yuniang kowtowed and knelt, then pointed to the sky and swore. “I will remember Father’s


    teachings and will never do anything to harm others. If I vite it, the world will punish me!”


    Duke Wei’s Mansion.


    Backhouse.


    The 62-year-old Wei Kang was old and strong. He spent half a night with his new concubine, Wanyu,


    before he rested.


    In his sleep, he saw endless white fog rolling, hazy like a paradise. In the mist was a woman in green.


    She was as beautiful as a flower and charming


    “Master,e here!”


    Her voice was ethereal and her figure was enchanting. Wei Kang was immediately stunned. “Beauty,


    wait for me…” He rushed forward but missed. The woman’s voice came from behind him again.


    “Master, I’m here!”


    Wei Kang only had eyes for the beautiful woman. No matter how many times he missed, he persevered


    and did not realize that his lower body was gradually bing transparent.


    At this moment


    The sky was already bright.


    The concubine did not dare to disturb Wei Kang and carefully got up to greet the Duchess.


    At noon, Wei Kang was still asleep. The Duchess thought that Wanyu had exhausted his body and sent


    someone to beat her up.


    Duke Wei had at least 80 concubines. Not to mention continuing the bloodline of the Duke’s mansion,


    there were not many who could live past a year. However, Wei Kang did not care about the life and


    death of his concubines.


    Even in the evening, Duke Wei was still unconscious, like a living dead. Only then did they know that


    something big had happened!


    When the Matriarch found out about this, she hurriedly invited Imperial Physician Ge to treat him.


    Imperial Physician Ge carefully took his pulse and shook his head. “The Duke’s pulse is normal. He’s


    only a little weak and unable to recover. He shouldn’t be unconscious.”


    The Matriarch asked carefully and sent Imperial Physician Ge back to the pce.


    Duke Wei’s eldest son, Wei Chang, took the initiative to volunteer and said that he would consult


    Imperial Physician Ge about his condition so that he could get a famous doctor to treat him.


    After leaving the door, Wei Chang lowered his voice and asked, “Will my father ever regain


    consciousness, Lord Ge? Is his life in danger if he remains unconscious for too long?”


    “My medical skills are not good. My lord, please invite someone else to take a look.”


    Imperial Physician Ge did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly got into the carriage.
