Chapter 184 Will Not Let You Die 4

After hearing Ye Shaoyang’s explanation, Xiao Ma still did not understand what he said, neither did Xie Yuqing. Even though she learned a lot of her past, she did not have knowledge of other people’s secrets, let alone the secrets of a powerful Spirit Commissioner. Both of them were stunned, looked at Ye Shaoyang, and waited for him to explain more.

Ye Shaoyang looked at the Spirit Commissioner and said, “Well?”

The Spirit Commissioner looked at Ye Shaoyang with killing intent and said, “My badge and chain were both taken away from me. I’m curious as to where you got that chain from.”

“You want to frame me?” Ye Shaoyang laughed and said, “I got this from an underworld midwife. Are you saying that she took it from you? Even if she did, how could you not have investigated it?”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head and pointed at the Spirit Commissioner, “If I’m not wrong, I think you’re the fifth spirit in the Five Spirit Moving Mountain Formation and the servant of Madam Chee!”

As soon as he said that, the Spirit Commissioner was surprised and looked at Ye Shaoyang in disbelief.

Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, “Well, don’t look at me like that. Hear my complete explanation, and you’ll understand. In the beginning, I encountered three spirits who had all been dead for more than a year and no Spirit Commissioner ever came for them. At that time, I wondered where the commissioner for this area could have gone. As I continued to investigate, I discovered the Five Spirit Moving Mountain Formation, and one of them was located around Madam Chee’s temple. The spirit’s used had to have come from the underworld.

“Then, I encountered the underworld midwife, I killed her and found that she was carrying a Spirit Badge and a Spirit Binding Chain. As she carried the badge, I thought that after killing her someone from the netherworld council would come for me, but nobody came. There’s could have only been one explanation for it: the underworld midwife never stole anything. The badge and chain had to be given to her by you!

“You don’t have your badge or chain, so I can only conclude that you’re the servant of Madam Chee and the one who set up everything.”

After the Spirit Commissioner heard Ye Shaoyang’s explanation, it became calm and put its hand around Xie Yuqing’s neck.

The Spirit Commissioner looked at Ye Shaoyang with a hint of respect, sighed and said, “I have to give it to you, Ye Shaoyang. Even after I covered my tracks, you still figured it out. You’re indeed a Maoshan Heavenly Master.”

Ye Shaoyang looked at him and said, “I’ve figured out everything except one thing. You’re a Spirit Commissioner, an agent of the underworld. How could you serve a demon and kill so many innocent people? If the netherworld council finds out about this, you’ll be punished--”

“Trapped in a pool of blood and waste for eternity.” The Spirit Commissioner sighed and continued, “From the day I started to help her, I knew my fate was sealed.”

“Why would you still help her then?” Ye Shaoyang was happy that the Spirit Commissioner was talking, so he decided to try to convince it to let go of Xie Yuqing. Ye Shaoyang knew it wasn’t wise to anger it. If it wanted to end Xie Yuqing, it would be very easy.

Ye Shaoyang did not want to risk escalating the issue if he had a chance to resolve it peacefully.

The Spirit Commissioner smiled at Ye Shaoyang.

“Because I love her.”

Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma looked at each other speechless. It was yet another love story. Worse yet, it was between a spirit and a demon.

Ye Shaoyang scratched his head and asked, “Can you tell me more?”

“Nope,” the Spirit Commissioner smiled coldly, “I told you this much because I was impressed that you figured everything out, but do not forget Master Ye: we’re enemies. If you let me go, then I’ll give this woman back to you. If you want to fight,...let’s just say that I’m confident of killing at least one of you.”

Ye Shaoyang was very nervous, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he laughed and said, “You think I’m that dumb? If I let you go, why would you give her back? Don’t you dare tell me that you have integrity. You’re a spirit, not human. If you really want to live, then give her back to me first. I promise you can go if you do so.”

The Spirit Commissioner burst out in laughter, “To be honest, I don’t trust you humans either. Well, if you want to do it this way, then let’s just wait until her corpse rots.”

Ye Shaoyang was taken aback. Under the hot sun, her corpse would deteriorate more every moment they wasted. Even if her corpse didn’t rot completely, some part of her organs would sustain damage. It had been two hours already since she died, so it could not wait anymore.

Ye Shaoyang thought for a while and knew there was no way this could end peacefully. Even though the Spirit Commissioner seemed calm, it was not going to let Xie Yuqing go. Time to end this?

After thinking for some time, Ye Shaoyang made his decision. Physical force was the only way. He scratched his head and acted as though he was thinking about something before suddenly leaping into the air and drew his sword. Within seconds, Ye Shaoyang was in front of the Spirit Commissioner, inches away from cutting it down. It was now left with only two options: block his attack or run.

“Xiao Ma!” Ye Shaoyang yelled.

Xiao Ma knew what that meant. He immediately bit his tongue and spat blood on the ‘doll’. He shut his eyes and chanted, “Come now your soul as I activate this doll. Come now for nothing can hinder your way!”

A ray of gold light shot out from the talisman paper and struck Xie Yuqing

Xie Yuqing yelled and was immediately pulled from the hands of the Spirit Commissioner. Before the Spirit Commissioner knew what had happened, Xie Yuqing’s soul was already gone. Since Ye Shaoyang was already at a striking distance, the Spirit Commissioner gave up on Xie Yuqing and raised its hands to block the sword.

Instantly, Spirit Qi gathered around its hands and formed a ‘sword’ to collide with the Qixing Dragon Sword.

“Eradicate evil in all directions! Align now the seven stars in heaven and punish all evil!” Ye Shaoyang commanded. Within seconds, the purple ray of his sword intensified and cut through the Spirit Commissioner’s hands and, ultimately, through its body.

Immediately, the Spirit Commissioner began to fade away.

“I have still been killed, ” the Spirit Commissioner sighed and muttered, “But the formation is almost ready. You will not be able to kill Madam Chee, you won’t win.”

Its voice faded away as it disappeared, and the wind blew away its Spirit Qi.

Ye Shaoyang let out a breath and sat on the ground. He looked back at Xiao Ma and said, “Good thing you didn’t mess up.”

“Of course, I didn't. Who do you think I am? This is child's play.”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and wanted to give him a kick. Then, out of nowhere, a gust of Yin Qi blew pass them. Ye Shaoyang looked up and watched a thick black cloud approach them. It seemed very ominous.

Then, a woman’s sob came from the dark clouds. Her cries also seemed to be angry.

Xiao Ma was shocked, “Little Ye, this is…”

“It’s Madam Chee!”
