Chapter 281 The t.i.tle of Heavenly Master

Mr . Zhang smiled, About this matter, I hope you can forgive me . I have been busy with my work in the Netherworld Council . I couldnt even leave for a second . Perhaps, I cant help you with anything even if I returned to the mortal world . Im quite certain that I wouldnt have known much about the situation .

His reply stunned Ye Shaoyang for a moment before he asked, There are things that you dont know about in this area?

No one knows everything, even the G.o.d, let alone myself . Frankly speaking, the spirit commissioner was too powerful; I couldnt get near the formation . Thats why I learned nothing about the situation .

After listening to his words, Ye Shaoyang decided not to press the matter further . He asked, By the way, did you hear the conversation between that lady and me, just before you entered?

I heard it from outside . The only thing I know is that the spirit is new here . It doesnt have a nest . Thats all .

A new spirit .

Ye Shaoyang thought for some time, What are its usual activities?

I dont know, answered Mr . Zhang as he shrugged at Ye Shaoyang, Heavenly Master Ye, we both know that informant spirits are not universal . We dont dare to investigate the background of certain evil beings, so far as to hide from them when we sensed their existence around us . Thats how I survive till today .

Ye Shaoyang nodded . That was true . When evil beings chose to cultivate in evil ways, they would kill anyone who got in their way, especially the informant spirits who acted like a reporter in the underworld; the evil beings would be more cautious to prevent them from knowing their present situation . Therefore, an informant spirit could only get the details of an evil being within certain limits .

Alright . I guess I should stick to my plan and continue investigating, said Ye Shaoyang politely, Is there anything urgent you came here for?

Yup . Two important things . First, I represent the Netherworld Council to grant a soul binding chain to Heavenly Master Ye . Bingo, the one that you are holding right now .

Funny . He had the chain for quite some time already . Now, the Netherworld Council had just decided to grant him the chain . n.o.body could take the chain away from him, not even Cui Fujun . What a laugh . However, he had a second thought . At least he could rightfully keep the chain in his possession . So, he nodded stiffly, Thanks .

Secondly, the Netherworld Council humbly requests for Heavenly Master Ye to register and receive your Heavenly Master Tablet at the council .

Ye Shaoyang fell into deep thought and replied flatly, I am not going .

Mr . Zhang seemed to expect his answer . He replied with a laugh, Heavenly Master, this is the third time you have refused to receive your tablet; this is unprecedented . But why?

Not clear with my Daoism, not receiving the tablet . Ye Shaoyang replied in short .

May I know what Daoism you are referring to?

My Daoism . Not related to anybody . Whats the problem with not receiving it?

Mr . Zhang shrugged and said with embarra.s.sment, Heavenly Master Ye, you are much more powerful than a typical Heavenly Master, but you refuse to receive it . Although this wont affect your power, you cant collect more virtue of second life .

Ye Shaoyang laughed, I am not planning to become an officer in the Netherworld Council after I die . Whats the purpose of collecting so much virtue of second life?

Mr . Zhang gaped, looking from Ye Shaoyang to Xiao Ma . He began to speak but hesitated . Go on . You can ignore my presence, said Xiao Ma as he shook his hands .

With a wave, a structureless aura spread from Mr . Zhang and hit Xiao Ma, freezing the latter .

Only then did he speak, Heavenly Master Ye, Cui Fujun wanted me to pa.s.s on this message; the Qi around the mortal world has begun to be thrown into disorder . Wed better be prepared as soon as possible .

Ye Shaoyang repeated the sentence in his mind, trying to understand . His eyebrows frowned heavily, What does that mean?

I am not sure either . But Cui Fujun wants you to be well prepared for an important mission .

What mission?

Mr . Zhang extended his arms, I dont know .

Ye Shaoyang paused for a while, and said, Fine . I will ask him personally when I go to the Netherworld Council . By the way, since when did an informant spirit like you work for Cui Fujun?

Mr . Zhang shrugged again, No choice . You killed the spirit commissioner who worked in this area, so they asked me to take over the job temporarily . Well, I have to go . Heavenly Master Ye, if you are free, please do burn some candles for me . Goodbye then . As he said this, he bent and transformed into green smokes and disappeared through the window .

Xiao Ma regained consciousness at once . Looking left and right, he asked with confusion on his face, What happened? Where is Mr . Zhang?

He had left . He sealed your conscious just now .

What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He did it without asking for my permission!

He is more powerful than you . So, you cant stop him from doing that .

What?! Do you simply bully people if youre better? He has infringed upon my human rights!

Ye Shaoyang shrugged, He is not even a human, so he need not follow the human laws . If you are unhappy, you can punch his face next time .

Hmph! He will taste my fist next time! Xiao Ma snorted angrily .

Alright . Lets pay Teng Yongqing a visit .

When Ye Shaoyang turned his back to the door, a flash of golden light emerged from his chest . He blanked momentarily before he reached out; he felt a hard object and took it out . It was a Heavenly Master Tablet, which emitted a dazzling gold light for a few moments before it gradually cooled down .

Mr . Zhangs voice appeared outside the window, Heavenly Master Ye, Cui Fujun has just given the order that he wants you to register a tablet . Since you refused, he had no choice but to activate the Heavenly Master Tablet that you are holding . You cant reject this time . Haha . Haha . Done my job . See you, Heavenly Master Ye .

His voice trailed off . He was gone for real this time .

d.a.m.n! He set a trap for me! Ye Shaoyang looked at the tablet as he angrily spoke .

But, is this bad for you? Xiao Ma asked curiously .

Ye Shaoyang weighed the tablet as he heaved a sigh, No . Many Daoists fight for a tablet for whole life .

But why do you not seem happy to own one? Xiao Ma asked, feeling even more curious .

No . I want it, but not now, said Ye Shaoyang, No one can take my tablet away if I register late . It is sort of my possession . I dont want to register that early because that will mean a confer of t.i.tle from the Netherworld Council . In the future, they will ask for your help with lots of stuff . I will lose my freedom .

Xiao Ma scratched his head, What help will they ask for?

The matters that the Netherworld Council cannot handle in the mortal world . Lets say, an Undead King appears in one area, the Netherworld Council will push it to you . You cant just reject them if you have accepted the t.i.tle .

Ye Shaoyang heaved again, I was too careless to wear the tablet on me, so they got the chance to activate it . That would equal to registering with the council . A Heavenly Master will only get one tablet in a lifetime . The council will not give out another one to the same Daoist if he or she loses it . I have no choice but to take this tablet as mine now .

Ye Shaoyang had no choice but kept the tablet . Then, Xiao Ma and Ye Shaoyang packed their stuff and went out . As they were walking, Xiao Ma frowned and asked, Little Ye, if the tablet once belonged to your ancestor and you owned the tablet now, dont you think it is a coincidence?

Ye Shaoyang stood upright abruptly . A chill ran down his spine like an electric current shock:

Thats true . He had almost forgotten about this if Xiao Ma had not reminded him . If it was true, this coincidence was spooky . At first, he had obtained this tablet accidentally . Then, by coincidence, he found the way to read the lost chapters of the Heavenly Manual, and now, he owned the tablet . What a coincidence!

Besides, the tablet had the Chinese character Ye carved onto it . It was as if the tablet was specially made for him . However, was this a coincidence, fate, or was there something going on behind if deep into this matter?
