Pei Zi Yun's father was shocked as he stepped out to welcome him.
Pei Zi Yun landed on the ground, surrounded by spiritual light. With the protection of the Imperial Qi, he could not be seen clearly. Pei Zi Yun's father walked up to him, "I wonder which deity has arrived?"
"Father, it's me!" Pei Zi Yun nodded as the spiritual light dissipated, revealing his true appearance.
"Yun 'er, why are you here?" Pei Zi Yun's father stood at the entrance of the Pei family's ancestral hall. He could see the light from the incense burning in the air.
"Today is a joyous day, and I'm here to congratulate you, father." Pei Zi Yun smiled as he spoke to his father. At this point, the sound of a dragon's roar could be heard, as a ray of Imperial Qi descended.
"Imperial Qi?" Pei Zi Yun's father had been in the underworld for a long time. Although his Imperial Qi was not apparent, he was still very powerful in the underworld. Hearing the dragon's roar, he was shocked. He then saw a pale yellow Flood Dragon descending from the skies, holding the Imperial Edict in its mouth. Yin Lu's voice echoed throughout the underworld.
Pei Zi Yun's father knelt down, hesitating as he listened.
"Father, accept the Imperial Edict. This is a gift from the Imperial Court, and I have risked my life for it. It would be a waste not to accept it." Pei Zi Yun smiled as he spoke.
When Pei Zi Yun's father heard this, he looked at Pei Zi Yun and sobbed, "My son has suffered."
"It doesn't matter." Pei Zi Yun said as he looked at the Imperial Qi in the air. He felt a sense of relief, as though he had broken free of a shackle.
"Although the original owner has died, the karma of the inheritance is still there. The third rank Imperial Edict has been cut short."
"Your subject accepts the Imperial Edict!" Just as he was thinking, Pei Zi Yun's father knelt down to accept the Imperial Edict. The floating Imperial Qi descended and landed on his body, turning into spots of light that seeped into his body.
"Roar!" A dragon's roar could be heard as Pei Zi Yun's father's official robes changed into a third rank peacock robe.
The peacock was not only beautiful, it had a good character. The Amplification Sutra stated that the peacock had nine virtues. "First, it has a good appearance. Second, it has a clear voice. Third, it has an orderly gait. Fourth, it knows when to move. Fifth, it knows when to eat. Sixth, it knows when to eat. Sixth, it knows when to eat. Seventh, it knows when to eat. Sixth, it knows when to eat.
Hence, the peacock was considered a virtuous and virtuous bird. Hence, its status and status was different. Yun. The Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Qi did not stop.
Hiss! Pei Qian's father sucked in a deep breath. Seeing the changes, he knew that it was the Imperial Qi. He then said softly, "No wonder all these old officials are fighting for titles and positions. So there's a reward for them after they die."
"Father, you've been promoted to an official position, and yet you're now a Deity. I'm sure there will be Ghosts and Deities coming to celebrate. Father, you can return the favor when the time comes."
Pei Zi Yun waved his hand, and a large amount of delicacies and treasures appeared in the courtyard.
From afar, a beam of spiritual light could be seen. It was the celebratory spirit of the ghosts. Pei Zi Yun did not wish to meet with the ghosts and deities. He then excused himself and thought to himself, 'Now it's time for me to face this family.'
As this thought flashed through his mind, he felt his body lighten.
"Eh? Even the Floating Gold Island has changed?" Just as Pei Zi Yun was about to head back, he suddenly felt a change in the island. He turned around and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing into the underworld. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at an ocean.
The ocean and sky were vast, and the waves were boundless. From afar, he could see an island. The land on the island had not yet bloomed, and there were only a few signs of human habitation. After walking for a few miles, he could see a palace on the island, standing tall and majestic.
The palace was surrounded by walls, and there were lanterns on the walls. From afar, it looked like the stars in the sky. Although it looked magnificent, there wasn't a single person inside. There was only the sound of someone singing and playing.
When Pei Zi Yun landed on the ground, he felt a sense of intimacy. When he got closer, he saw that the door was filled with golden nails the size of bowls. It was thirty feet tall, and looked extremely dignified. When he got closer, he saw that the door had automatically opened, as though it was welcoming him.
There were many pavilions and pavilions inside, but it was extremely quiet. Not a single person could be seen. Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, 'So there's something special about this place?'
He then looked at the Floating Gold Island, and thought to himself, 'There's a trace of Imperial Qi on this island. This is a good place to store the souls of the Pei family members.'
He decided not to stay any longer. In a flash, he flew a thousand miles away. When he regained his senses, he heard someone reporting, "True Sovereign, I've found the tracks. They're in Taiyuan County!"
Pei Zi Yun's eyes lit up, "I'll go now!"
Taiyuan County
"Go, go!" The sound of horses galloping broke the silence of the county. Pei Zi Yun and his cavalry stopped right in front of the gates. At the gates, the magistrate looked left and right. He smiled and welcomed Pei Zi Yun, "This lowly official pays his respects to True Sovereign. It must have been hard on you."
Pei Zi Yun leapt off the horse and landed on the ground. He looked at the magistrate and asked, "Have you found anything?"
"I've found it, I've found it." The magistrate said as he glared at the Chief Patrol Officer. The Chief Patrol Officer had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and looked rather dull.
He then hurriedly walked up to Pei Zi Yun and said, "True Sovereign, we've found some clues. Li Cheng had once stayed in a wealthy merchant's house. This wealthy merchant has confessed. As for more details, we're still interrogating him."
"Mm." Pei Zi Yun listened and nodded his head, "Bring me there."
The magistrate hurriedly said, "True Sovereign, please follow me."
They walked all the way until they arrived at a mansion. There were many armored soldiers around, and the security was tight. Just from outside, they could hear screams and screams.
"True Sovereign, it's inside." The mansion looked ordinary on the outside, but was exquisite on the inside. There was a garden and a loft. After walking through several corridors, they saw a pond with twisted stone railings. Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but be surprised. He then turned around and smiled, "It's not too bad."
Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as he felt demonic energy.
"This used to be a wealthy merchant's mansion. Now that he's committed a crime, the mansion has been confiscated." The magistrate looked at Pei Zi Yun and explained, "You can stay here for a while."
"It's alright, I don't want people to accuse me of stealing the property of a commoner." Pei Zi Yun laughed. The magistrate paused and was slightly embarrassed. When the True Sovereign said this, he did indeed have the intention of offering the mansion to Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun smiled and didn't say anything. As his status rose, even if he didn't mean it, a word of praise would cause people to take it for themselves.
Regardless of whether it was the mansion, the treasures, or the women.
Therefore, those in power did not show their emotions. In fact, to a certain extent, there was no other way.
"Pa!" The sound of a whip cracking could be heard, followed by a cry of agony. Several bailiffs were holding onto whips as they whipped a fat man who was dressed in silk. They then shouted, "Are you going to speak or not? Are you going to speak or not? What relationship do you have with Li Cheng? "
"Your excellency, I really don't know. I really don't know." Cries of agony could be heard as the fat man's body was riddled with wounds. Blood dripped from his body and pooled on the ground, staining the ground red.
Seeing that the rich merchant was unwilling to speak, the constable's eyes were filled with anger, "Lu Bingzu, don't be unappreciative. This matter is being handled by the True Sovereign. If you resist, you will die."
"Your excellency, I really don't know. I really don't know." The rich merchant was crying out and begging for mercy. The constable's face fell, "Give him a heavy punishment!"
"Yes!" The bailiff replied. At this point, someone shouted, "The True Sovereign has arrived!"
Everyone in the courtyard was alerted. Several constables came forward to welcome him. When the magistrate saw the constables approaching, he asked, "Have you managed to interrogate Li Cheng's whereabouts?"
"Your excellency, this fellow is too stubborn. He insisted that Li Cheng stayed here for seven days. As for where he went, he refused to reveal anything. He said that he doesn't know."
The rich merchant's voice was hoarse as he panted heavily. He looked at Pei Zi Yun and knew that he was a high-ranking official. If he didn't beg for mercy now, he would definitely die here.
"Good citizen, I'm really a good citizen. Your excellency, I've been wronged." The fatty cried out loudly. Pei Zi Yun stared at the fatty, a playful smile on his face. This fatty had a deep-rooted demonic aura around him. It was obvious that he had spent a long period of time with the demonic beasts. It was clear to see.
"Your excellency, your excellency, I've been wronged. I was greedy and rented the house to others. I didn't know that they were traitors!" The fat man cried out in pain.
"Your excellency, this man is Lu Bing Zu. He owns a tea plantation and has opened up the port. He even trades tea leaves, silk and porcelain. He's really rich. Why would such a person rent out his house just for rent? This cannot be trusted. He must be related to the traitors. "When the constable heard the rich merchant's words, he was afraid that Pei Zi Yun would be deceived. He hurriedly explained.
"True Sovereign, I've heard of your name for a long time. Please differentiate between right and wrong." The rich merchant cried out in agony. Each cry was more pitiful than the last. Pei Zi Yun listened to his cries and stared at him.
The rich merchant felt as though he was being seen through. He couldn't help but look away.
"Hm!" Pei Zi Yun cleared his throat and said, "This man is lying. Torture him until he spits out his mouth!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the constable's eyes lit up. He had some reservations at first. But now that the True Sovereign had spoken, he could torture the rich merchant to death. Once he died, they could split his wealth. The constable was excited as he replied, "Yes!"
As soon as he replied, Pei Zi Yun felt the rich merchant's aura surrounding him. Since the superior had spoken, his subordinates didn't treat him as a human. As for evidence, there was no need for it.
"Your excellency, I've been wrongly accused. I've been wrongly accused." The rich merchant's face was pale as he cried out in agony. He had thought that Pei Zi Yun was his savior. He didn't expect him to be the God of Death. His entire body trembled violently as he shivered. The constable didn't care much about him and dragged him away.
When the magistrate heard the man's cries, his heart turned cold as well. At this point, a man rushed over. When he got closer, everyone's eyes lit up. This man was dressed in an official's robes. He was only a ninth ranked cultivator, but he was young. His eyes were bright, and his demeanor was calm. He looked like a young master, and not an ordinary official. When he got closer, he bowed, "Zheng Zheng Yuan pays his respects to the True Sovereign. I came here in a hurry, please forgive me."
"Eh?" When Pei Zi Yun heard these words, he paused. He felt a sense of familiarity. He was already an Earth Immortal, and his memories surfaced in his mind.
'So it's an old friend.' Pei Zi Yun thought for some time.
History had been altered beyond recognition, and he hadn't been bothered about the future for a long time. Now that he heard a familiar name, his heart was filled with emotions.
In his previous life, when he was a rogue cultivator, he had only met this person once. At that time, this person was already the official of the Dao, and was in charge of the Dao Records Department.
After that, he heard of this person. It was said that this person had become the next Dao Records Department. He was extremely talented, and was able to cultivate within the Imperial Qi, opening up a new path for himself.
Now that the Imperial Court had sent him here, it was clear that they valued him greatly. Even now, he was still a subordinate. He then replied, "Not bad. I've just issued the order and you're able to lead your men here so quickly. You're not bad at all."
