Becoming a true immortal through my descendents praying

The Danai Decree Bureau… even the ordinary citizens of Qingshi County knew a thing or two about this agency.

It was a law enforcement agency of the Danai Dynasty, supervising both lawless cultivators and martial cultivators who broke weapon bans.

This pivotal department maintained the stability of the Danai Dynasty’s foundation and secured the peaceful lives of most mortals.

Otherwise, in a world of immortal cultivation where the gap in personal martial power is vast, mortals would have been treated no better than pigs and dogs.

And they had gone to the Xiang Mansion…

After pondering for a moment, Yang Genshuo found it rather odd.

“Xiang Pichi is dead, but what does that have to do with mortals? Why would the Decree Bureau get involved?”

“Something isn’t right…”

Conflicts between cultivators or fierce duels among martial cultivators were commonplace, with casualties an inevitable outcome – usually deemed as fate, beyond the concern of the Decree Bureau.

However, Yang Shi’s decision to send Jiang Xiaobai and Yang Fu away in hiding posed no issue.

After all, it’s always wise to be cautious, as the insurance company says.

After they took the back roads, Yang Shi was somewhat relieved.

“Ancestor, how should we respond? Should we bring Hu Zi back first?”

“Don’t rush, they may not be here for you.”

With too little information, making uncalculated moves might backfire terribly.

But sending Yang Shi to eavesdrop in the tavern at this time would be too conspicuous and easily detected.

Tap tap tap~

A dense sound of horse hooves approached from afar, and moments later, a platoon of fully armed soldiers arrived outside the Yang family mansion.

“Danai Decree Bureau! Open up!”

Yang Genshuo: “….”

Yang Shi: “…”

Alright, now they could openly listen in.

Yang Shi ordered the servants to open the doors, and outside the mansion was a line of about 500 soldiers, each brimming with vigorous essence blood and a focused aura, clearly not ordinary soldiers.

Yang Genshuo casually looked over a few character cards and found that they all were martial cultivators with body refining from the third to fifth levels.

Gathered together, their congealed blood qi surged to the skies, formidable without even entering battle.

“Are you Yang Shi?”

The leader of this military force was a cultivator in the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, unlike other cultivators in pursuit of an immortal aura, he wore armor with bulging, powerful muscles resembling a fierce beast.

As soon as he spoke, Yang Shi felt an immense pressure.

In a blur, he found himself in a battlefield surrounded by a sea of corpses and blood!

Blood mist filled the air, with ghosts swarming!

An army risen from hell raised their long spears, pointing their tips at him!

It seemed as though he could be torn to shreds in the next second.

Suddenly!

A refreshing coolness passed through his mind, all illusions vanished, and he stood again in the Yang family mansion, facing that leader from the Decree Bureau.

Mingxin Technique!

Yang Shi was slightly startled, he had unknowingly fallen into an illusion.

Fortunately, his mental method was exceptional, allowing him to escape in time.

“I am Yang Shi. May I ask… what does the officer from the Decree Bureau want with Yang?”

Seeing that the young martial cultivator, Yang Shi, was only confused for a moment under the pressure of his Military Soul before escaping the illusion, Commander Wu Hengyu was slightly surprised.

“Do you know why I’m looking for you?” he asked from atop his horse, looking down at Yang Shi.

“I don’t.”

“Xiang Pichi of the Xiang Family is dead. What do you have to say about that?”

“Xiang Pichi? My Yang Family has no dealings with the Xiang Mansion, nor have I ever heard of this person. Why ask me about his death?”

Yang Shi replied calmly, with a hint of incomprehension.

“Qingshi County, your Yang Family is the most powerful, and you don’t know? Do you think I would believe that? Take him down!”

“Ha!”

The soldiers behind him took a step forward.

A tremendous aura surged forth, like a ferocious tiger of blood lunging at Yang Shi.

“I am a walker for Xuan Stone! Should I call my fellow senior brothers and sisters to explain?”

Yang Shi took out his identity token from his pocket, which brightly stated his identity. By rubbing it hard, it could spontaneously combust to send out a distress signal.

Wu Hengyu furrowed his brows, about to get angry.

Standing beside him, a white-robed cultivator who had been silent spoke lightly:

“Enough. I know the Xiang Family is the military general’s backing, but there’s no need to trouble a mortal.”

“He’s not even an innate master. Killing Xiang Pichi? Hah~”

Yang Genshuo had already noticed this Qi Refining Stage cultivator of the Xuan Stone Sect: Lu Zai.

So he was quite relieved, at least he wouldn’t be coerced into confessing.

The Xuan Stone Sect had a good reputation, and the cultivators he had met, Murong Ziyuan and Bai Heyu, were all upstanding individuals from the Righteous Sect.

Wu Hengyu’s imposing aura slightly retracted, his expression unchanged.

“Oh, I was just probing a bit, occupational habit, Walker Yang need not worry.”

“Hmph.”

Yang Shi snorted coldly and said no more.

“By the way, I heard people in the town say that Walker Yang’s wife is a cultivator. Why not call her out for a chat?”

“She has gone home to visit her parents.”

“Oh, that’s quite unfortunate.”

Next, they questioned Yang Shi about various issues, but his replies were seamless, and they found no inconsistencies.

Yang Genshuo also learned that these people knew little about the death of Xiang Pichi, and to this day, did not know exactly where he had died, only that he had once headed towards the Devil Wind Forest to the east of the town.

“But… how could they be so sure of Xiang Pichi’s death?”

“Could the Xiang Family have some other means to ascertain whether their people are dead or not?”

“Strange…”

Yang Genshuo felt that the secrecy work in the Immortal Cultivation World… was not so simple.

It would be bad if someone who could calculate and delve into metaphysics appeared.”

“Let’s go!”

The people from the Decree Bureau set off, leaving the Yang family.

Yang Shi caught up with Lu Zai and bowed: “Thank you, Brother Lu, for your help! I will remember this favor forever! If you ever need me, just say the word.”

Lu Zai chuckled softly.

“No worries, you are the great senior sister’s appointed walker, and we Xuan Stone disciples naturally look after each other when abroad.”

“Thank Brother Lu!” After bowing again, Yang Shi curiously asked, “Brother Lu… the death of one person from the Xiang Family warranted such a massive deployment?”

“Oh! The matter with the Xiang Family… We were just passing by to take a look. This time, it’s mainly because of a demon cultivator… Over 2000 people were slaughtered in Heqing Town, and we are ordered to capture the demon cultivator.”

“Sss~ Such heartlessness in a demon cultivator!”

“Hmph~ If I catch him, I will make sure he has no grave to be buried in! Recently, demon cultivator activities have been frequent, it’s hardly peaceful, you’d best be careful and avoid going out.”

“Thank Brother Lu for the advice! When I am capable, I will surely repay you.”

Lu Zai left with Wu Hengyu, not really caring about the offer of repayment from this mere mortal. To him, Yang Shi’s highest achievement might only be that of an innate master—what assistance could he possibly provide?

Forming a good relationship with the great senior sister was the biggest value he could offer.

The people from the Decree Bureau roamed around for one day without any leads and left Qingshi County the next day.

Before leaving, Wu Hengyu left an innate master in Qingshi County.

“You keep an eye on the Yang family. This Yang Shi… is not simple.”
