. After all, the Yue family was merely a lineage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; when arranging for Bai Jing to work in the Ministry of Health back then, Old Yue had gone through great...Chapter 86 The Original Reason

Argh, telecom is so trash, I just fixed the network

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the black-clothed ghost sat dejectedly on the ground with no spirit left in his eyes, and his figure began to rapidly dissipate.

The little ghosts saw the black-clothed ghost starting to disintegrate and all started calling out, with streams of primordial essence flowing down their eyes. Seeing this scene deeply moved Xiao Yu; suddenly a sharp pain shot through his right eye, and that white line in his right eye uncontrollably flew into the black-clothed ghost's body following the gaze of his Yin-Yang Life-Death Eyes.

Xiao Yu's heart raced wildly. 'What is happening Why are my Yin-Yang Life-Death Eyes not under my control Could it be that Zhong Kui hasn't disappeared'

Under the influence of Xiao Yu’s Yin-Yang Life-Death Eyes, the black-clothed ghost's disintegrating body gradually stopped breaking down and even began to reconsolidate.

Xiao Yu’s body could no longer bear the consumption from his Yin-Yang Life-Death Eyes until he turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, before the eyes cut off their connection with the black-clothed ghost.

At this moment, not only had the black-clothed ghost stopped disintegrating, but some primordial essence had even gathered together, resembling how Xiao Yu first saw him.

The group of little ghosts, upon seeing the black-clothed ghost's retreating figure, gradually began to gather together and cheer. The black-clothed ghost looked at them in confusion; he recalled that his own spirit was already dispersing completely, even his consciousness had become hazy, so why did it suddenly recover

Shao Yu’s heart raced wildly—could his Yin-Yang Life-Death Eyes actually heal ghosts

Suddenly, the little ghosts surrounding the black-clothed ghost floated over to Shao Yu and knelt down in unison. Wan Jiayi and an old ghost dressed in modern attire bowed deeply instead of kneeling, perhaps due to their modern backgrounds.

The black-clothed ghost saw how the other ghost souls acted and immediately understood what was happening. But he couldn't fathom how Shao Yu managed it In his memories, Zhong Kui, when Shao Yu was so weak, could not save a ghost on the verge of vanishing.

It was perfectly normal for the black-clothed ghost to be unaware of Shao Yu’s existence; when Zhong Kui became an immortal judge, he had already been a spirit and naturally didn't receive the ability of Yin-Yang Eyes like Shao Yu did, nor did he experience any mutation.

The black-clothed ghost pondered for a moment before approaching Shao Yu, who was pale as a sheet. He knelt down in front of Shao Yu with a thud and called out, "Young Master, the Earth Elemental Ghost is at your service whenever you need me!"

"Sigh..." A sigh suddenly echoed in Shao Yu’s mind! Then came a light sound like thunder cracking inside his head. The three enchanted artifacts in his sea of consciousness lit up momentarily before calming down again. Suddenly, Shao Yu felt that he had a closer connection with the three artifacts than ever before, as if they were fused into one with his soul; there was no longer any awkwardness.

"It's gone—Zhong Kui’s last remaining true essence has vanished completely from this world!" As Shao Yu’s link to the three engraved enchanted artifacts grew stronger, he understood everything that had happened.

"Ah, get up! It wasn't me who saved you; it was Zhong Kui!" Xiao Yu glanced at the black-clothed ghost, the Wu Xing Earth Ghost kneeling before him and sighed, saying with a sorrowful expression.

"Heavenly Master Grandpa Where is Heavenly Master Grandpa" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the black-clothed ghost was stunned for a moment, then asked with an elated look.

Xiao Yu pondered for a while before deciding to tell him. No matter what, he had the right to know: "Just now, Zhong Kui's last bit of true spirit has completely dissipated!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the black-clothed ghost displayed an expression of heartbreak and sorrow, silent all along, with tears formed by yin energy continuously flowing from his eyes. His body’s original yin energy was in turmoil again, showing signs of disintegration once more.

"Earth Ghost, how can you do this Can you justify completely dissipating Zhong Kui who saved your life" Xiao Yu saw the state of the Wu Xing Earth Ghost and his expression changed dramatically. He shouted out loud.

If the black-clothed ghost disintegrated again, in his current physical condition, he wouldn’t be able to save him. Since he had inherited Zhong Kui’s legacy, one could say that Zhong Kui was like his master. Xiao Yu did not want his master to dissipate for nothing.

Upon hearing this, the black-clothed ghost froze in shock and a sense of frustration and resentment appeared on his face. However, yin energy no longer flowed from his eyes, and the agitation of yin energy within his body gradually subsided. He just knelt on the ground with a look of agony on his face, emitting陣陣哀嚎from his mouth.

The little ghosts beside him didn’t know why the black-clothed ghost was like this either, but they could feel the bone-deep pain in his heart, so they couldn't help but let out cries of grief as well. Especially Wan Jiayi, who had been interacting with the black-clothed ghost for more than half a year; he treated her like an older brother, making her feel a different kind of care beyond parental love. So when she saw how heartbroken the black-clothed ghost was, she glared at Xiao Yu with hatred; in her mind, it was Xiao Yu who made the black-clothed ghost so sad.

Seeing that the black-clothed ghost's body no longer showed signs of disintegration, Xiao Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. He really feared that the black-clothed ghost would lose his reason and then he wouldn’t be able to save him in his current state.

As time passed, the Black Robe Ghost's wailing gradually stopped. The Black Robe Ghost stood up and looked at Xiao Yu with determination on his face: "Young Master, from now on, I'll follow you. I think this is also what Grandpa Celestial Judge would want to see!"

"No, absolutely not! I can't keep carrying you like this forever! If you follow me, you'll eventually fade away. Wouldn't it be better if I sent you back into the cycle of reincarnation" When Xiao Yu heard that the Black Robe Ghost wanted to follow him, he shook his head vigorously, as if he were a rattle-drum. It was no joke; he didn’t want a ghost following him everywhere he went in the future, especially not a ghost's head. Besides, there was nowhere for him to house it!

Seeming to understand Xiao Yu's thoughts, the Black Robe Ghost gave a smile uglier than tears and pointed at the middle of the foundation trench: "Young Master, you can rest assured that I have somewhere to live. Down here is where Grandpa Celestial Judge’s Sun-Shielding Umbrella was buried."

The Sun-Shielding Umbrella Through Zhong Kui's memories, Xiao Yu knew that it was an abode Zhong Kui made for his brothers the Five Elements Ghosts, with the ability to shield from sunlight and gather Yin energy. No wonder a place like this could form a convergence site of three Yin energies! At the same time, Xiao Yu understood why the Black Robe Ghost could treat losing their source essence as commonplace; when Zhong Kui was creating the Sun-Shielding Umbrella, he had connected the Five Elements Ghosts' source essences to it. As long as they didn't consume more Yin energy than the umbrella's capacity, nothing would happen.

Xiao Yu gave a wry smile and realized that he couldn’t get rid of the Black Robe Ghost anymore. Zhong Kui’s last wish before completely dissipating was for him to take care of the Five Elements Ghosts. At first, Xiao Yu could refuse on the grounds that there wasn't enough space to accommodate them, but now that he knew about the Sun-Shielding Umbrella, he understood that he couldn’t refuse anymore.

"Why is it just you Where are the other four ghosts" Suddenly remembering that the Five Elements Ghosts were always together, Xiao Yu wondered why he hadn't seen the others. He looked at the Earth Ghost and asked.

"I don't know either. Back then, when we faced the heavenly calamity with Grandpa Celestial Judge, it was too powerful for us; the Sun-Shielding Umbrella suffered serious damage, so all of us fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, they were gone. But I believe they’re fine because their source essences are connected to the umbrella. If anything happened to them, I would feel it!" The Black Robe Ghost shook his head in response to Xiao Yu's question.

After hearing what the Earth Ghost had to say, Xiao Yu nodded and asked another question: "What about that old ghost earlier Is there still a City God How did you become an Earth Deity"t of Xiao Yu; how could his pride remain unscathed"Old sir, let me have a look!" Upon hearing the family’s thanks, Xiao Yu nodded and addressed the elderly man.Hearing this, the elder's family looked...
