Chapter 20 Yuniang, the Vengeful Spirit
The remnant souls in the courtyard were too weak to interest Zhou Yi. According to his guess about
ghosts in his previous life, there was definitely a place where real ghosts existed.
Sky Prison.
There were many people who were imprisoned and tortured to death all year round, which fit the
conditions of vengeful spirits.
“The reason why prison guards’ lifespans are short might be because they are accompanied by ghosts
day and night, and their lifespans are damaged by yin energy. I’ve been in the Sky Prison for more than
twenty years, but I’ve never heard of malicious ghosts harming anyone, so they’re not powerful people.
“I’ll draw another House Suppresion Talisman and try it tomorrow in the Sky Prison.”
Zhou Yi planned to stay in the mortal world for a few hundred years until his cultivation could no longer
improve. Then, he would think of a way to come into contact with the cultivation world.
During this period, the Sky Prison was considered a base. He had to clean up the ghosts hiding in the
dark. Firstly, it was to prevent the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life from being leaked. Secondly, no one was
willing to let ghosts spy on them.
After drawing the first House Suppression Talisman, Zhou Yi started drawing again. It was much
smoother. After destroying more than ten talismans in a row, he finally succeeded in drawing them
again.
“It doesn’t seem that difficult to learn the basics of talismans. Yu Jie has someone guiding him for
several years without succeeding. Could it be that I have some talent in talisman crafting?”
Zhou Yi was quite proud of himself. Although making talismans was not as rich as refining pills, it would
also be a skill to make a living in the cultivation world in the future.
The next day.
When he arrived at the Sky Prison early in the morning, Zhou Yi was not sure about the effect range of
the House Suppression Talisman, so he specially found a central position to activate it. An invisible
wave swept across the cell, causing a cold wind to blow. The wind was mixed with faint cries and wails.
The cold air brushed past his ears like someone whispering.
“There are indeed many ghosts!”
Zhou Yi looked around the prison. It could be said to be the lair of ghosts.
A humanoid shadow hung from the roof, like a bat hanging upside down in a cave. Pairs of red eyes
looked at Zhou Yi in unison. Most of them were cold and heartless, while some were filled with hatred.
They should have died at Zhou Yi’s hands when they were alive.
There were more of them in the cells. There were those squatting in the corners, those lying on the
walls, and those lying on the straw mats in various postures. Prisoners slept with ghosts every day.
Even if there was no torture, they would not live long after being corroded by the yin energy day and
night.
A shadow emerged from the ground and silently lay on Zhou Yi’s back. The arm condensed by the fog
was wrapped around his neck.
“Hmph!” Zhou Yi’s true essence seeped out of his body, and the shadow melted into nothingness
amidst his screams. “I’m merciful, so I’ll send you to reincarnate!”
His true essence turned into sword energy and swept over as fast as lightning. The remnant soul did
not even have time to escape before it was shattered.
“Senior, please spare me…”
The woman’s cry came from the roof. A shadow slowly changed, and a human face appeared above
her head. A misty fog condensed into an emerald-green gauze robe.
“A female ghost!”
Zhou Yi’s figure flashed and landed in front of the woman. He sized her up with interest. “You look
familiar?”
The woman said, “Senior, I’m Huang Yuniang, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Huang Heng. I was
imprisoned a year ago, and you took good care of me…”
“You’re Huang’s daughter?”
Zhou Yi quickly recalled Huang Heng. A year ago, he was wrongly accused of embezzlement.
A mere fifth-grade official was charged with embezzling 3,000 taels of silver. He was originally not
qualified to enter the Sky Prison, let alone his wife and daughter.
The reason for this was very simple. The famous old pervert in the Divine Capital, Duke Wei, had
accidentally seen Huang Yuniang’s beauty. Ignoring his reputation as a duke and the jokes of the
world, he had actually sent someone to the Huang family to propose marriage.
He said that he would take Huang Yuniang as his concubine and protect Huang Heng’s promotion and
wealth in the future!
Huang Heng prided himself on being from a scholarly family. How could he accept such humiliation?
So he scolds Duke Wei for being shameless. Within a few days, he was reported by his colleagues that
he had received 3,000 taels of silver from the merchants during the renovation of the Imperial College.
Duke Wei’s original intention was to lock the family of three in a prison to sober up and continue to be
in-laws in the future. Who would have thought that Huang Heng would die in just a short month? His
wife also left in depression. In order to avoid being bullied by Duke Wei, Huang Yuniang committed
suicide in prison.
Zhou Yi pitied the Huang family. When he delivered food, he would always scoop a few spoonfuls of
thick porridge.
“At that time, you were disheveled. I was wondering why Duke Wei was so anxious and actually liked
you.”
“Father said that many women in the Sky Prison were humiliated and asked me to dirty my face so
that…” Huang Yuniang corrected herself. “You’re different. You only know how to punish bad people
and evil people. You have never mistreated anyone.”
“You saw everything?”
Zhou Yi’s voice was calm as he slashed out with his True Essence.
After Huang Yuniang turned into a vengeful spirit, she was extremely sensitive to auras and hurriedly
explained.
“I know that you are a Connate Grandmaster and like to drink. You like to listen to prisoners tell stories
and secretly kill evil people who try to escape from prison. You turn a blind eye to those who escape
with grievances…”
“Yeah.”
After Zhou Yi had mastered the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique in the past two years, he could
not increase his True Essence by devouring inner Qi, so he did not expose anything abnormal. The
only flaw was probably that his appearance would never change!
“Why are you different from those remnant souls?”
There were more than a hundred ghosts in the Sky Prison. Apart from Huang Yuniang, they were all
muddle-headed remnant souls.
Huang Yuniang answered obediently, “Senior, after my death, my soul was attached to the jade hairpin.
I was nurtured by the jade hairpin to preserve my spiritual memory.”
Zhou Yi asked again, “Do you know any divine powers or spells after becoming a ghost?”
“I can absorb human essence and strengthen my ghost body. I can also possess and disturb people’s
souls.” Huang Yuniang said, “However, I can only possess ordinary people who are weak. It’s difficult
for me to approach those who have strong Yang energy in their bodies. Those martial arts experts who
have cultivated well have dense and powerful blood qi. If I get close, it’ll be like a fire burning
me.”

Zhou Yi nodded slightly. “Are you planning to hide in the Sky Prison and not reincarnate?”
The vengeful spirit was far worse than expected, but it made sense. After all, it had only been a new
ghost for a year.
“The hatred of my parents is irreconcilable!” Huang Yuniang knelt on the ground and begged, “Senior,
please help me. After avenging my parents, I’m willing to offer my life, which is the jade hairpin, and
serve you every night!”
Zhou Yi was stunned and said angrily, “What are you talking about?”.
Huang Yunan muttered, “I hid in the dark and heard you and your colleagues talking about Spring
Breeze Tower and Flower Queen every day, so I thought you were a playboy.”
After her entire family died in vain and she turned into a ghost, Huang Yuniang thought it through. What
bullsh*t etiquette? As long as she could avenge her parents, she was willing to be a slave.
“My surname isn’t Ning!” Zhou Yi was not interested in riding a ghost and said, “There are many people
in the prison who are worse off than you. Just relying on a jade hairpin is not enough to transform into a
ghost. Is there any other reason?”
Huang Yuniang was silent for a moment before saying, “I was good at reading ancient books when I
was alive, so Father specially collected some ancient books. One of them is the Dao Scripture. I read it
day and night.”
Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up. “Read it out loud!”
“The Daoist scripture is called ‘Rejuvenation Theory of Perfected Qingwei.” Huang Yuniang recited,
“Human beings are born with yin and yang… Any mind-nourishing technique, the heart is like a baby, Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
and the heart is quiet…”
After memorizing it, Zhou Yi recited it a few times. As expected, he felt refreshed and could vaguely
sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more clearly.
“Didn’t your father read such profound scripture?”
Huang Yuniang muttered, “Father could have been a ghost, but he only had one jade hairpin as a
possession. Before he died, he told me not to do anything evil, so he chose to dissipate his soul.”
“Old Huang is a little stupid, but his personality is unyielding.” Zhou Yi asked, “How can I help you
avenge Duke Wei?”
It was difficult for anyone below the same level to track down the assassination attempt of a Connate
Master. A wisp of true essence was attached to the target’s body, and it would explode on its own when
it was far away. If he waited slowly for an opportunity, when the other party accidentally fell and
bumped into him, he would take the opportunity to stir up a few things in his mind.
The world would only think that Duke Wei had done all the bad things and accidentally fell to his death.
This was a method that Zhou Yi had thought of in a short period of time. How could there be any
Connate Grandmaster who would go through such trouble? There was a high chance that they would
attack the Wei Family and kill him in front of everyone.
A chuunibyou said, “A grandmaster cannot be humiliated.” How domineering!
“I must avenge my parents with my own hands.” Huang Yuniang said, “I’m weak and can’t leave within
a hundred feet of the jade hairpin. Senior, please help me place the jade hairpin under Duke Wei’s
bed.”
“That’s easy.” Zhou Yi said, “After you take revenge, you can either change places or reincarnate.
Anyway, don’t stay in the Sky Prison anymore.”
“Senior, can we go to the Imperial Prison?” Seeing Zhou Yi’s expression darken, Huang Yuniang
hurriedly said, “I’ll have to trouble you to send me out of the Divine Capital and find a shady place.”
Zhou Yi asked, “Why are you unwilling to reincarnate?”
Huang Yuniang said, “Even ants try to survive. I don’t know if there is reincarnation in this world. Even if
there is, the reincarnated body is not the same person.”
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement. “Remember Old Huang’s last words.”
Huang Yuniang kowtowed and knelt, then pointed to the sky and swore. “I will remember Father’s
teachings and will never do anything to harm others. If I violate it, the world will punish me!”
Duke Wei’s Mansion.
Backhouse.
The 62-year-old Wei Kang was old and strong. He spent half a night with his new concubine, Wanyu,
before he rested.
In his sleep, he saw endless white fog rolling, hazy like a paradise. In the mist was a woman in green.
She was as beautiful as a flower and charming
“Master, come here!”
Her voice was ethereal and her figure was enchanting. Wei Kang was immediately stunned. “Beauty,
wait for me…” He rushed forward but missed. The woman’s voice came from behind him again.
“Master, I’m here!”
Wei Kang only had eyes for the beautiful woman. No matter how many times he missed, he persevered
and did not realize that his lower body was gradually becoming transparent.
At this moment
The sky was already bright.
The concubine did not dare to disturb Wei Kang and carefully got up to greet the Duchess.
At noon, Wei Kang was still asleep. The Duchess thought that Wanyu had exhausted his body and sent
someone to beat her up.
Duke Wei had at least 80 concubines. Not to mention continuing the bloodline of the Duke’s mansion,
there were not many who could live past a year. However, Wei Kang did not care about the life and
death of his concubines.
Even in the evening, Duke Wei was still unconscious, like a living dead. Only then did they know that
something big had happened!
When the Matriarch found out about this, she hurriedly invited Imperial Physician Ge to treat him.
Imperial Physician Ge carefully took his pulse and shook his head. “The Duke’s pulse is normal. He’s
only a little weak and unable to recover. He shouldn’t be unconscious.”
The Matriarch asked carefully and sent Imperial Physician Ge back to the palace.
Duke Wei’s eldest son, Wei Chang, took the initiative to volunteer and said that he would consult
Imperial Physician Ge about his condition so that he could get a famous doctor to treat him.
After leaving the door, Wei Chang lowered his voice and asked, “Will my father ever regain
consciousness, Lord Ge? Is his life in danger if he remains unconscious for too long?”
“My medical skills are not good. My lord, please invite someone else to take a look.”
Imperial Physician Ge did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly got into the carriage.
