The atmosphere in the ward fell silent.
Everyone felt a lump in their throat.
"Why are you so depressed?"
Qu Jingming was a little unhappy." Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the natural cycle of life. Who can avoid it?"”
"Besides, I'm already so old. I've lived long enough.”
"All these years, I've been holding on with one breath. I just want to take a few more glances at Great Chang.”
His aura had already weakened to the extreme.
Now that he was lying on the sickbed, he did not even have the strength to wave his hand.
No one spoke.
In the end, it was the A-class ghost tamer who spoke up,""Zhang Ying has been notified.”
"He should be here soon."
The distance between Dachang and Jinling wasn't too far.
If it was a car, they could arrive in about two hours.
Qu Jingming nodded.”
"At least we can hold on during the day.”
Everyone's eyes were filled with worry.
However, even in their final moments, no one dared to disobey the old man's words.
Not long after, the room became quiet.
They didn't have to wait for long.
At the staircase, Zhang Ying's travel-worn figure quickly walked over.""Where's Elder Qu?"
"Inside."
The vice-captain stood up and lowered his voice."Captain Qu specifically wants to see you."
"I know."
Zhang Ying looked at the Ghost Commanders that filled the corridor.
Suddenly, he waved his hand and said,"Everyone, disperse."”
"Old Fang, take some people and clear the corridor. Guard every place and don't allow anyone to approach.”
Hearing this.
Everyone's eyes were wide open, and they were excited.
"Zhang Ying!"
"What do you mean?" the vice-captain said angrily.”
"We are from Great Chang, you are from Jinling.”
"If you want to clear it, you should clear your people!”
Facing everyone's anger.
Zhang Ying also looked helpless.
"Please forgive me," he said with a bitter smile."It involves some things.”
"This is what Elder Qu ordered over the phone.”
Just as everyone was about to ask.
An old voice suddenly came from the ward."Do as Vice-Captain Zhang says!”
After Lin Yu arrived in Jinling, Zhang Ying naturally had to retreat.
As for Fang Anson, he had fallen to the level of a secretary.
He heard Qu Jingming's voice.
Everyone instantly calmed down.
There was a long silence.
The A-class vice-captain waved his hand hatefully."Let's leave for now."
"Don't make Captain Qu angry."
Not long after, the corridor became quiet.
"Guard the corridor. No one is allowed to approach the ward.”
Zhang Ying whispered to Fang Anxu.
He pushed open the door.
"Elder Qu."
Looking at Qu Jingming's current appearance, Zhang Ying could not help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.
At this moment, the old man's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with murkiness.
The oil is gone, the lamp is dead.
These four words could describe the old man's current state.
"You're here."
Qu Jingming reluctantly turned his head and looked at Zhang Ying."Actually, Lin Yu should be in charge of this matter personally.”
"However, breaking through to [S] class is also a major event that cannot be delayed.”
"How's the investigation going?”
Speaking of work.
Zhang Ying also put away the sorrow in his heart.
Pulling a stool to sit beside the bed, he opened the document in his hand."Our people have been watching."
"Those old people are all healthy now. There's no obvious difference from before.”
Qu Jingming nodded.
A complicated expression appeared on his face.
It seemed to be gratified and happy.
"Looks like I passed the exam." he murmured.”
"What did you pass?" Zhang Ying caught this sentence and asked subconsciously.
Qu Jingming did not answer.
He only continued,"My time is about up."”
"When the time comes, everything will be simple."
"After this body turned into ashes, it was buried behind the back of my old house.”
"No extravagance, no waste, and no publicity.”
"I'll just inform my old friends and let them come over to take a look.”
Zhang Ying lowered his head and kept recording.
In fact, he really wanted to ask what Qu Jingming encountered when he traveled to the underworld that day.
It was as if he had sensed Zhang Ying's thoughts.
Qu Jingming suddenly looked at him.”
"Elder Qu, you're here." Zhang Ying quickly raised his head.
In the end, she met Qu Jingming's eyes.
At this moment.
Qu Jingming's pupils were no longer cloudy and confused.
Instead, he became energetic, as if he had suddenly become decades younger.
"If you want to know something."
"Tomorrow morning, we can go to the City God Temple to burn incense.”
"The Shing Wong Temple outside Jinling City?" Zhang Ying was stunned.”
"No." "The Shing Wong Temple in Great Chang City!" Qu Jingming corrected.”
Zhang Ying's heart skipped a beat.
He vaguely felt as if he had grasped onto something.
However, he couldn't understand.
Qu Jingming turned his head and looked at the ceiling again.
He slowly closed his eyes.
"I still have some money in my bank card. The password is my number in the Ghost Control Bureau.”
"Look, I don't need Great Xia to reimburse all the expenses for this funeral. I'll use my own money.”
"If you haven't used it up, invest it in a few nursing homes and welfare homes in the city.”
The old man had no children in his life.
Perhaps he had treated the millions of residents in Great Chang as his own children.
Zhang Ying sighed in his heart, but still replied,""I understand."
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
There was no response from the front.
Zhang Ying raised his head.
He found Qu Jingming lying peacefully on the sickbed with his eyes closed. He looked like he was sleeping soundly.
However, a thick aura of death emanated from his body.
"Elder Qu?"
Zhang Ying called out tentatively.
No one answered.
After a long time.
He let out a long sigh.”
Two minutes later.
The sound of wailing came from outside the ward.
Qu Jingming's body was taken away by several ghost tamers, ready to be burned to ashes.
Zhang Ying followed closely behind, intending to personally kill the ghost that was about to break free.
This was the tragedy of a ghost tamer.
When he was alive, he had to suffer the pain of being corroded by ghosts.
After death, they couldn't even protect themselves.
After everything was settled.
The sky had already darkened.
The moon had just risen.
Lin Yu also appeared in Dachang City.
After all, leveling up as a ghost tamer was not like cultivation in fantasy novels.
Once he entered seclusion, he would never appear again.
The so-called closed-door cultivation was nothing more than to avoid being disturbed by others as much as possible in the short term.
He focused on increasing the power of the ghost he had contracted.
However, Qu Jingming's death was definitely a major event.
The Imperial Capital sent a letter of complaint.
Downstairs of Ghost Commander Hospital.
Countless ghost riders lined up in two neat rows, some from Great Chang, and some from Jinling.
Everyone was wearing the special clothes of the Ghost Control Bureau.
Including Zhang Ying and Lin Yu.
Qu Jingming had made countless contributions in his life.
After death, he should naturally leave with endless glory.
Not long after.
A black box was brought out.
There was a black-and-white photo of Qu Jingming on the box.
Everyone looked at Lin Yu.
After all, as long as she was present, she would automatically become the leader of all the Ghost Commanders.
Lin Yu glanced at the bright moon in the sky.
"Elder Qu, it's time to go home!”
At this moment.
Hundreds of Ghost Commanders walked in an orderly fashion towards a certain spot in Great Chang City.
A few old people rushed over. They were all Qu Jingming's close friends.
No one cried.
The atmosphere was even more sorrowful than crying.
Along the way, everyone was silent. Only the sound of orderly footsteps echoed in the night sky.
The news of Qu Jingming's death was not notified to the ordinary people of Great Chang.
This was also what the old man had instructed before he died.
However, as the team moved forward.
However, ordinary people continued to join in.
Although they did not understand the identity of this group of people wearing special black clothes and emitting a cold aura.
However, the person at the front was holding Elder Qu's box.
Just like that, the team walked quietly.
However, a long queue had already formed behind him.
Everyone consciously lined up. There was no noise, only low sobs.
He never rode in a car.
After walking for more than 20 minutes.
An old house appeared in front of them.
The mansion had long been cleaned up.
The two Ghost Commanders stood at the door and saluted the team.
The team passed through the door.
The courtyard was rather narrow, so many people were blocked at the door.
After a long period of persuasion from a few Ghost Commanders.
Most of the people opened the car in groups of two or three.
Indeed, with so many people gathered together, it was easy for accidents to happen.
In the backyard of the mansion.
Hundreds of Ghost Commanders and hundreds of ordinary people who had been selected formed a circle.
In the middle of the circle was a mud pit.
Lin Yu took the box and slowly placed it into the mud pit.
A special badge was placed on the box.
This was sent over by the Imperial Capital's Ghost Commanders Headquarters and was placed in the mourning letter.
It represented the highest honor a ghost tamer could receive.
If Lin Yu could break through to S class, she would also be able to obtain such a badge.
Qu Jingming, on the other hand, was only a C-class ghost tamer.
The atmosphere of sorrow was spreading.
Everyone looked at the black box, which was gradually covered by soil.
However, no one could see it.
A translucent figure stood beside the box.
He was wearing old clothes and had a complicated and emotional expression on his face.
It was Qu Jingming's soul!
However, at this moment, his soul emitted specks of golden light.
This was the power of virtue that the old man had accumulated his entire life.
It was also because of this layer of power of virtue that his soul did not have any ghost qi at all.
Therefore, none of the Ghost Commanders could sense his presence.
"Duke Qu."
White Impermanence suddenly appeared beside him.
With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands at Qu Jingming and said,"Congratulations."
"Thank you, sir!"
Qu Jingming quickly responded.
"Hehe, your conferment document will be sent over soon. At that time, the two of us will be colleagues and will work together in the underworld. There's no need to be so distant.”
"Duke Qu, please call me Xie Wuchang." Xie Bi 'an smiled.”
The Black and White Ghosts were the official positions of the Netherworld, not just two individuals.
However, Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian were the most famous Wuchangs.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries.
The rest of the Ghost Commanders recalled the memories of Qu Jingming's time, and they were so sad that they could not extricate themselves.
Only Lin Yu.
From time to time, he would glance at a corner from the corner of his eyes.
Although he was shocked, he tried his best to keep a straight face.
Naturally, she saw White Impermanence!
As the ghost was about to enter S-class, her perception had risen to a new level.
In addition, White Impermanence didn't hide himself.
It was normal to be sensed.
The White Impermanence smiled and said something to the side.
Lin Yu couldn't see it.
However, he could roughly guess.
Qu Jingming!
The two of them did not chat for long.
Thick fog suddenly spread from all directions.
Soon, the entire mansion was covered in fog.
Many ghost tamers and ordinary people were confused.
Why was there so much fog at night?
It almost blocked his entire line of sight.
Zhang Ying frowned as well, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.
After all, he was still a peak A class ghost tamer.
However, although he could vaguely sense it.
However, it was still impossible for him to sense anything more detailed.
Only Lin Yu.
At this moment, he was standing at the front of the crowd, staring blankly at a certain place in front of him.
He didn't even bother to hide.
Hundreds of reapers dressed in ancient bailiffs with long sabers on their waists appeared in the fog.
If these were to be classified according to the level of the ghost tamers.
Even the weakest of them had the strength of an [A] class!
As for the peak A class, there were at least fifty of them.
Even if the Great Xia Kingdom used all of its resources, it would be difficult to gather so many peak A-class peaks!
Moreover, he had to be careful.
There were also ten figures in ancient bronze armor and holding sabers.
Every single one of them gave off a terrifying aura.
The netherworld's ghost soldiers, ten S-class!
At the very front of this group of figures.
There was a black-robed man with a black face and a tall hat standing there.
There was a chain around his waist, and the mournful staff was casually hung on the chain.
Hell's Black Impermanence!
According to the S-class malicious spirit that walked out of the cursed door that day, the S-class malicious spirit was still alive.
His and White Impermanence's strength had already surpassed S-class and reached General-class.
Lin Yu felt her body stiffen.
If this group of figures were to go crazy, they would probably be able to destroy the current human world!
At this moment.
Black Impermanence was holding a golden scroll in his hand. Strands of purple light seeped through the cracks of the scroll.
A majestic aura was emitted.
In the courtyard, all the ghost controllers felt an inexplicable pressure, which made them very upset.
However, he could not find the source of the pressure.
"Duke Qu."
White Impermanence looked at the old man beside him and said with a smile,""Hurry up and prepare to receive the edict."
"This is a decree personally written by Son of Heaven Yin.”
Qu Jingming was shocked.
He managed to catch a piece of information from White Impermanence's words.
Son of Heaven Yin really existed in this world!
He ruled the underworld and ruled the underworld.
However, he was stunned for a few breaths.
Qu Jingming came back to his senses and did not dare to delay any longer. He walked in front of Black Impermanence.
"Qu Jingming greets Lord Wuchang!"”
"Yes."
Black Impermanence nodded slightly and opened the golden decree in his hand.
In an instant, a purple light soared into the sky!
An endless majestic aura filled the courtyard.
At this moment, the ordinary people in the courtyard were not affected.
However, all the Ghost Commanders knelt down!
Including Lin Yu!
"What happened?"
A ghost tamer's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he cried out in fear.
Because he could not speak at all.
Including Zhang Ying.
He wanted to see Lin Yu and ask her what had happened.
However, his head was stuck to the ground.
It was as if her throat was blocked.
A great sense of fear came from his soul.
That was the fear and trembling of the ghost he had contracted!
Lin Yu closed her eyes slightly, her pretty face pressed against the ground.
At this moment, her heart was filled with bitterness.
So what if it was an [S] class?
He was already considered a half-step S class. In a few months at the latest, he would be able to truly step into that realm.
But now.
It was just a trace of aura that flowed out of the golden scroll.
He pressed her down on her knees and she couldn't even make a sound.
The two contracted ghosts were also panicking.
In fact, it wasn't just the ghost masters in the mansion who were suppressed.
At this moment.
The entire Great Chang.
All the ordinary people raised their heads and looked at the sky.
Some people even took out their phones to take pictures.
Because the originally dark sky had now turned light purple!
A luxurious light covered the entire sky.
Specks of purple light fell from the nine heavens like fireflies, scattering into the human world.
Ordinary people thought that this was a miraculous phenomenon and praised it in all sorts of ways.
However, to the ghost tamers and ghosts in Great Chang City…
It was as if a mountain was pressing down on his head!
No matter what realm the ghost was at, no matter what level the ghost tamer was at.
At this moment, they all knelt down and pressed their faces to the ground!
In a house.
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground.
A black human face appeared in his heart, full of fear.
What was it?
It couldn't even lift its head to take a look!
It was as if the boundless sky was falling on top of their heads. As long as they raised their heads, they would be crushed to death!
Could it be the Netherworld again?
Jinling's soul-face automatically dispersed its consciousness.
He shared his memories with the other six clones.
Therefore, as one of the clones, this soul face naturally knew the existence of the Netherworld.
However, ghosts like them could only be considered at the bottom of the Burial Earth.
Therefore, although he knew some legends about the underworld, he was still a little confused.
However, he did not understand the details.
In the direction of Jin Ling City.
Su Hen, who was dressed in a Red-robed Judge's robe, stood in the night sky and looked in the direction of the Great Chang from afar.
Feeling the faint pressure coming from afar, he muttered softly,"It seems that the coronation has already begun.”
At this moment, in the courtyard of Great Chang City.
The terrifying pressure did not seem to exist for Qu Jingming.
He lowered his head respectfully and stood in front of Black Impermanence.
He listened to the other party read the contents of the decree.
"Qu Jingming, you've been conscientious and conscientious all your life. You've saved more than ten thousand people and received endless merit.”
"Now that you have passed away, the Underworld remembers your good fate and cannot bear to let your soul suffer the pain of reincarnation again.”
" Therefore, Son of Heaven Yin has issued an edict to bestow upon you the title of Great Chang City God. You will protect the people and enjoy incense offerings. After you enter the netherworld to register, you must go to your post before dawn. There must be no mistakes.”
Black Impermanence's deep and solemn voice echoed in the courtyard.
Of course, no one else could hear it.
Even Lin Yu could only hear a strange wind.
Although he was mentally prepared.
However, when he heard his own name, he was still stunned for a long time.
"Duke Qu?"
Until White Impermanence urged him.
Qu Jingming finally came back to his senses. He quickly took a few steps forward and took the edict of Son of Heaven Yin from Black Impermanence.
Purple light bloomed.
As soon as the edict was in Qu Jingming's hand, it turned into a dazzling purple light and surrounded him.
This light lasted for about ten breaths of time.
When the light gradually dimmed, Qu Jingming's appearance also changed.
The old clothes were gone.
What replaced it was a luxurious robe.
The long robe flickered with golden light and was embroidered with many auspicious patterns. It was exquisite, beautiful, and lifelike.
The clouds on the pattern seemed to float up in the next moment.
A pale golden jade crown hung on her head, and seven beaded curtains hung down to cover her face.
The belt, black boots, ceremonial sword, seal, and cloak were all complete.
The power of virtue finally had an effect.
Countless golden lights surrounded Qu Jingming.
Other than the golden light, there was also the wish power of millions of people.
Qu Jingming closed his eyes slightly and experienced the power he could use at the moment.
It was as majestic as a mountain and sea!
At least, that was what he felt.
He was almost on par with Black Impermanence!
The peak of the general level.
This was only a power that he could control as soon as he became a City God.
As time passed, the merit would be refined.
It could be said that Qu Jingming was almost 100% sure that he could step into the King realm.
"Duke Qu?"
White Impermanence also came over and said with a smile,""Congratulations."
"Congratulations, congratulations." Qu Jingming quickly responded.
He also bowed to Black Impermanence."Fan Wuchang, you've worked hard."
"It's my duty."
Black Impermanence had always been stern.
Thus, after completing his work, he looked at White Impermanence and said,""Xie Bi 'an."
"I'll leave the rest to you.”
"I'll go back and report."
"Alright." White Impermanence nodded.
Black Impermanence looked at the two of them again, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
However, the hundreds of reapers and the ten [S] class ghostly soldiers…
However, he still stayed where he was and did not leave with him.
"Xie Wuchang, they…" Qu Jingming was a little confused.
"You have to thank Lord Judge for this.”
"The judge thought that you had just become a city god and had no one under you to use," Xie Bian explained.”
"Thus, I specially ordered to send you 500 reapers and 10 ghost soldiers.”
Qu Jingming was shocked.
After all, he had just become a Shing Wong and had yet to adjust his mentality.
The thought of such a huge power in his hands…
He could not help but feel a little excited.
If this force guarded the borders of Great Xia…
Then which foreign ghost tamer would dare to provoke him?
It was as if he could read Qu Jingming's mind.
"Duke Qu, how are you adapting?" Xie Bian reminded.”
"Ah?"
Qu Jingming came back to his senses and quickly nodded."It's almost done."
"So this is the power of virtue."
"No wonder I was corroded by ghosts in my early years, but I was able to endure it for another few decades.”
"It wasn't until I was heavily injured in front of the cursed door that I couldn't hold on.”
"It seems that this is all the help of the power of virtue.”
When he was alive, he could not use the power of virtue.
However, he still received some protection benefits.
Xie Bian could understand his excitement.
Therefore, he didn't blame him. He just smiled and said,"Now, let's open up the City God's Space for you.”
"After the house is settled, I still have to go back and report to the judge to officially write your name on the list of the gods in the underworld.”
Back then, Su Hen had only obtained the City God Dharma Idol and had not truly transformed into a City God.
That was why it was so troublesome.
For things like the Netherworld Space, he still had to rely on the system's rewards.
And Qu Jingming was the City God officially conferred by Son of Heaven Yin.
The power contained in the imperial edict would help him set up all the facilities.
Thus, under the leadership of Bai Wuchang and Qu Jingming.
Hundreds of reapers left the courtyard.
At this moment, the purple light in the sky had disappeared.
Many ghosts desperately fled outside the Great Chang City, afraid that they would experience the fear of the sky collapsing again.
The fog in the courtyard also slowly dissipated.
The bright moonlight shone down again.
Only then did everyone feel the pressure on their backs lighten.
They stood up one by one.
The noise was surging, and the ghost masters all had anxious expressions on their faces.
Zhang Ying was also sweating profusely. He looked at Lin Yu and said,""Captain Lin."
"What happened just now?"
Lin Yu's face was still pale.
She glanced at Zhang Ying and shook her head with a bitter smile.""I'm not too sure either."
"However, remember one thing. The pressure just now was not directed at us.”
"It's just a trace of aura that's emitted!”
Hearing this.
Zhang Ying was stunned on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Just a trace of aura was enough to suppress all of them.
What kind of terrifying existence was that?
Lin Yu sighed and glanced at Zhang Ying, deciding not to tell him the truth.
Because the source of the aura was only a few words on the golden edict!
Who was the writer?
Ten Yama Kings? Emperor of Feng Du?
It was the legendary Son of Heaven Yin who ruled the entire Netherworld, the supreme Son of Heaven Yin!
