The old geezer took out a gourd after he finished speaking and mumbled something that Yusheng couldn't understand.
Only the last word was particularly clear.
"Seize!"
Yusheng remained unmoved.
The old man:???
He looked at Yusheng suspiciously, then examined his gourd carefully. Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, he let out another roar, "Seize!"
Still, nothing happened.
"Seize! Seize! Seize!"
The old geezer stomped his foot every time he shouted. Yusheng was afraid that his old arms and legs would break.
Yusheng just stood in front of him boldly. It was not until the old man was out of breath that he showed a malicious smile. "Keep going! Come on! Aren't you capable? If you have the guts, kill me!"
This annoying look made the old man fly into a rage.
He trembled as he stretched out his finger and pointed at Yusheng's nose. "You just wait for me! You just wait! I must kill you today. I'll seize your soul! I'll make sure you'll never be reincarnated. I'll make you my ghost slave!"
The old geezer exhausted all his strength, but Yusheng remained as firm as a rock.
Out of the corner of his eye, he had been paying attention to his surroundings, waiting for Xiaotuanzi's figure to appear at any moment.
He just didn't believe it.
Could his own younger sister really leave him here and forget about him forever?
As time passed, the old geezer also noticed something was wrong.
No matter what he did, Yusheng just stood there safely.
Not to mention seizing his soul, the old man was about to exhaust himself to death.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the old man wanted to run away.
His eyes rolled around, and he made a false move as if he was seizing a ghost. Then he turned around and was about to run away with his stuff.
How could Yusheng give him a chance?
After all, he was a young lad with first - class reaction speed and physical strength.
He grabbed the old man's arm at the fastest speed and refused to let go.
Just then, Xiaotuanzi's figure appeared not far away.
The black and white figures followed behind her. She was looking around as if she was searching for something.
What else could she be looking for?
Of course, she was looking for her second elder brother who had accidentally got lost.
The old man finally realized something was wrong. The moment Yusheng's hand grabbed his arm, the warmth that came through the fabric clearly showed that he was a living person.
How could a soul have temperature?
He had been tricked, completely and utterly.
The old man struggled more and more desperately.
He knew that Yusheng was just an ordinary person. It was impossible for a living person to come to the underworld and arrive safely at the ghost market.
Without even thinking, he knew that there must be a master helping Yusheng.
But after all, he was just an old man in his seventies or eighties. How could he be a match for the young and energetic Yusheng in terms of physical strength?
No matter how hard he tugged, he just couldn't break free from those big hands.
"Sister, I'm here! Look what I've caught!"
Yusheng still had the energy to wave at Niannian. All his strength had not been in vain.
Xiaotuanzi's eyes lit up when she saw Yusheng.
This was the first time he saw his younger sister looking at him with such a look.
Wasn't he supposed to be touched to tears?
Finally, he had received his younger sister's shining eyes!
This life was worth living!
Xiaotuan ran over to him in a hurry, looking like an old - fashioned person.
"Second elder brother, why didn't you listen to me? I told you not to run around. What if you got lost? There are no policemen here. If you got lost, I wouldn't be able to find you!"
"I didn't run around. I've been waiting for you here. Look what I've caught. This stinky old man just admitted himself that it was him who harmed me!"
Yusheng excitedly pointed at the old man beside him. If he had a tail behind him, it would probably be wagging like a propeller now.
The meaning of seeking credit was too obvious.
One of his eyes seemed to be written with a big "praise" and the other with a big "me".
Niannian looked at the old man beside her curiously and walked around him, as if she was sizing up a rare animal.
She knew what her second senior brother had come here for.
So she was very curious about this person whom even she and her second senior brother couldn't catch together.
Logically speaking, this person's Taoist magic should be above hers and her second senior brother's.
But from his appearance, he looked very ordinary.
"Is it you who wanted to harm my second elder brother?"
The old man suddenly stopped struggling when he saw Niannian.
The eagerness in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
The excitement was beyond words.
He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reached out his hand to grab Niannian. But before his hand even touched a corner of Xiaotuanzi's clothes, the hand he had stretched out was pierced through by an iron hook.
"Ah!!!"
A shrill scream echoed throughout the ghost market.
Countless ghosts looked in this direction one after another.
Gossiping was human nature. Even after turning into ghosts after death, they couldn't escape it.
"How dare you touch her again?"
Black Impermanence walked over slowly from behind Xiaotuanzi with a straight face.
His eyes were cold and emotionless.
There was an iron chain in his hand, and at the other end of the chain was the iron hook that had pierced through the old Taoist priest's palm.
"Bl... Black Impermanence?!"
The old Taoist priest was greatly shocked and covered his hand while backing away continuously.
But he couldn't escape now.
The Soul - Seizing Chain, a magical weapon of Black Impermanence, had hooked not only his body but also his soul.
Unless he wanted to be more miserable than the broken souls in Wild Dog Ridge, with his soul incomplete and his body disabled while still alive.
Otherwise, he couldn't act rashly.
"What do you want to do to her?"
White Impermanence also stepped forward at this time. There was a gentle smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.
His extremely handsome face, which looked as harmless as a gentle scholar, made people not dare to underestimate him at all.
Just a glance at him would make people shiver all over, as if falling into an ice cellar.
Especially since he had already taken out his Mourning Stick.
"Wh... White Impermanence?!"
The old Taoist priest didn't dare to have any bad thoughts now.
Not to mention anything else.
All he wanted to do now was to be a turtle.
The kind that didn't move at all.
"Niannian, does this person have a feud with you? Do you want me to check the Book of Life and Death for you?"
White Impermanence saw that the old Taoist priest had shut up and knew that it must be a difficult thing for Niannian to get information from his mouth.
Within his ability, he didn't mind giving Xiaotuanzi a favor.
Black and White Impermanence were different from other ghost messengers.
They had been in the underworld for thousands of years and were the leaders of all ghost messengers. Naturally, their power was much greater than that of other ghost messengers.
Their status was not much different from that of the judge.
When necessary, they could check the Book of Life and Death at any time to know a person's past.
Due to their duties, although they couldn't really kill this old Taoist priest, it was not difficult for them to do something to a living person.
"Um... I want to know why he wanted to harm my second elder brother."
Niannian shook her head slightly.
What could be seen in the Book of Life and Death were the good and evil deeds a person had done in his lifetime, but it couldn't record every detail of this person's life.
If they checked the Book of Life and Death, all they could find was that the old Taoist priest had harmed someone in a certain year and month.
But they couldn't find out why he had done it from the Book of Life and Death.
Black and White Impermanence glanced at each other and both showed a sinister smile.
"Let's go to the Soul - Confusing Hall."
