Xu Shu calmly switched his account nickna, pondering the information conveyed by Tailed Ksitigarbha. After careful consideration, he began typing and soon completed sending the ssage.
[As the night shrouds the stars, that wisp of mist approaches the earth once more, and the shackles of forbidden existence are opened... The Sea of Death is not an opportunity, but a calamity. Fellow Daoists, tread with caution, be wary of the gods’ folly!]——Tai Chu
A post with an unusually long title, clearly out of place compared to others like [Anyone up for corpse scavenging at Sea of Death and finding a pretty sister boatman] appeared on the world channel.
In fact, Xu Shu was sowhat worried about doing this.
After all, these words were almost verbatim borrowed from "Tailed Ksitigarbha." If "It" were to see, then his cover as ’Tai Chu’ would be exposed.
Yet after careful consideration, Xu Shu felt it necessary to issue a warning. On one hand, he believed the likelihood of "Tailed Ksitigarbha" advancing onto the web was almost null; on the other hand... well, "so things are just more important than others."
Shortly after the post was sent out, it received nurous replies, steadily climbing to the top of the screen, becoming the current most popular.
"Front row worship for Tai Chu boss!"
"Thanks for dropping the demigod beast last ti, politely asking when the next one will co."
"Hiss—Encountering the Pri Power comnt section, a senior riddle master of monstrous power, fighting with full force but unable to win!"——Wang Feng also wishes to make headlines, Second-tier prisoner
"Brave up there, daring to be witty with anyone."——Anonymous
"Tai Chu appeared quite skillfully, but what exactly was it saying? Sowhat curious."——Chen Huang, First-tier Divine Skill.
" 1"
Upon clicking in, a variety of newbie comnts took over the comnt section.
Then in less than three minutes, many demigod-level existences cautiously approached Xu Shu to inquire about the unfolding events.
These included the perennially active online presence from the Astronomy Association, Dongxuan True Monarch lanie.
Naturally, there were acquaintances of Xu Shu, like Shui Longyin, who sent greetings, saying things like "Senior, senior, long ti no see."
This made Xu Shu very disdainful.
Ha, the pretentious Earthly List powerhouses!
Hm, the humble demigods who look at the context before acting!
Besides, those present on the Heavenly List who had exchanged ssages and established friendships also sent a series of question marks.
Clearly, they sharply sensed the significance in "Tai Chu’s" words, eagerly probing for the truth!
But faced with the plethora of inquiries, Xu Shu chose to ignore them all.
The reason is simple because he too had no idea what was happening.
In such situations, not replying is the best response.
After all, he had almost openly stated in the post that there were issues with the Sea of Death’s upheaval, advising against involvent, even soone like himself, who is almost openly a "Fifth Realm expert," found it troubleso and was urging caution.
If anyone still insists on walking into danger, Xu Shu can only say, kind words can’t convince stubborn ghosts.
He’s done his part, now it’s up to them to see their own destiny.
But today, unexpectedly the replies keep pouring in, as if it’s going to last for quite so ti.
Well, since my mood is so-so, why not... indulge a little?
Xu Shu’s eyes shifted, securely holding back the erging Alice, adjusted the buzzing ascension drive to another position, feeling the snug fit, he then smoothly lay back in the washroom, starting his daily cultivation with sit-ups.
It’s worth ntioning, on the last day of the lunar calendar year 2142, at 178 No.88B Lanling Company, Zone 2 Lower District, that "haunted mansion," once again acquired new occupants.
They were seemingly joyful, reportedly a young couple working as doctors.
Enjoying the fusion beauty of nature, the young couple unknowingly, on this bustling, lively, and passionate New Year’s night, is observed by a Third-tier Middle Stage Transcendent from a discreet location across the hotel at Heavenly Street.
Quietly, observing...

At dawn, Xu Shu once again woke up to the sound of firecrackers.
First, he grabbed the groggy orange cat Alice crawling towards the toilet and tossed it outside to avoid slling the first whiff of cat dung in the morning.
After washing up, he let Alice into the washroom.
Xu Shu glanced at the refreshed greeting speech of Tai Chu on the void count, began seriously contemplating today’s dayti plan.
"New Year’s Day, this should be a day of rest but I cannot slack! Should I visit the little bride? It’s been a while since we t."
Of course, it’ll be through the [Continuing the Legend] thod.
As he considered this, the underwear, silent for most of the night, vibrated again.
He opened it with so speculation, finding the ssage was from Xiao Ya.
"Co quickly! There’s a situation, there’s evidence of Annihilation Association’s key figures activity in Lower District!" Xiao Ya’s ssage.
"Um..."
Seeing the ssage, Xu Shu’s expression instantly froze.
Evidence of Annihilation Association’s key figures in Lower District... are they referring to Annihilation Association’s Yu Mingluan?
How am I going to explain that person is ?
No, if it’s Yu Mingluan’s information, Xiao Ya should know the insider facts...
Xu Shu quickly got up, grabbing the cat and putting it in a backpack, tentatively inquiring: "Where did you get this information from? Is there an inside source from Butterfly Lovers Departnt for you?"
If so, no need to hurry~ he thought.
Xiao Ya suspiciously: "Butterfly Lovers Departnt? Why do you say that?"
"Never mind that, just tell if it’s true or not."
"Yes and no. Received a public report this morning, a murder case. The deceased was indeed from Butterfly Lovers Departnt, I suspect the Annihilation Association was at work, though the scene blas Blood and Fire Platform." Xiao Ya said.
"Huh?"
What do you an yes and no... and what’s with Blood and Fire Platform? Why is the culprits suspected to be from Annihilation Association?
Xu Shu was utterly confused, simultaneously worrying the deceased might be Yun Jinxi?
Could it be yesterday’s "Yu Mingluan’s encounter with Yun Jinxi" was spotted, and they killed him to fra ?
Xu Shu frowned, hurrying to the site based on Xiao Ya’s coordinates.
This was an alley in District 12 Lower District, no more than two hundred ters from a nearby subway exit.
The scene had already been cordoned off by the Judgent Departnt, Xiao Ya seemingly directing with her backpack, yet the people present acted as if she wasn’t there, though upon Xu Shu’s arrival, they seed reconciled.
Xu Shu checked inside, discovering the deceased was a young man.
He was nailed to the wall brutally, tongue excised with mouth agape, limbs twisted in a symbolic pose, innards extracted, sewn into a large "X."
"Phew, thankfully it’s not Yun Jinxi, otherwise Yu Mingluan couldn’t wash it clean jumping into the Yellow River." Xu Shu let out a breath, offering apologies to the deceased brother.
Xiao Ya approached with docunts, whispering: "Xu Shu brother, how did you know this is connected to Butterfly Lovers Departnt?"
"Um, I..." Xu Shu stamred, thinking this might be tricky to explain, veered off topic, "Calling over, any leads?"
Xiao Ya nodded: "Yes. As you know, yesterday Blood and Fire Platform and Where Is Grass on Horizon suddenly went to war openly, so despite Butterfly Lovers Departnt obtaining intelligence of Annihilation Association appearances, there was no chance to address it. And this deceased, Liu Yan, though a garrison officer from a town under Butterfly Lovers Departnt, holds a rather peculiar status... hehe, I’m suspecting Voodoo did it."
"...Why?" Xu Shu puzzled asked.
"A few words won’t clarify. I think you need to accompany out of town, to Luling Platform for a while, you’ll protect ." Xiao Ya said.
Xu Shu was taken aback: "Where to?"
Xiao Ya gestured her little head: "Luling Platform."
