Chapter 146 Too Many Variables

Even more miraculously, no matter how fast or slow the fatty walked, he remained stationary relative to the headless ghost carrying the coffin. Thus, following behind the headless ghost, they passed through layers of mist.

The moment the mist broke, the fatty was pleasantly surprised to find himself back on the forest path, and the doctor... the doctor was standing perfectly fine in front of him!

Jiang Cheng's tense body relaxed, and Yao Shunyue and Li Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. But some were happy and some were sad. Luo Tianhe's pupils suddenly constricted. With his abilities, he could naturally see that these two had entered the path to the underworld.

But he couldn't understand how Wang Fugui could have overcome Lin Qianqian without that mirror. Although the latter's knowledge was not as good as his, she was by no means an ordinary person.

Could it be...fate again?

But he had clearly used the yin Bagua left by Master Wu to suppress Wang Fugui's fate chart. How much luck did this Wang Fugui possess to squander it like this?

No!

It couldn't just be fate!

There was something strange about this Wang Fugui. Either he was carrying some natural treasure with him, or... or this fate was not his own at all, and something else was helping him!

Thinking of this, Luo Tianhe finally understood the terror of the Jiang Cheng-Wang Fugui combination. One was a scheming, unscrupulous, high-IQ logic monster who specialized in underhanded tactics, and the other was a lucky fatty with a mysterious background who was blessed by fate. The two, one yin and one yang, one evil and one righteous, were like the Taiji yin-yang fish he had mentioned before. The two were interdependent, with each having the other within themselves. Together they lived, and apart they died.

He was wrong, he had chosen the wrong opponent. He couldn't keep targeting this Wang Fugui. There were too many strange things about him, and if he wasn't careful, his own cultivation might be lost.

First, kill Jiang Cheng, the underworld brat, break the Taiji yin-yang diagram, and see what Wang Fugui could do against him alone!

Appearing with the fatty was the coffin-carrying ghost, and the missing black coffin. But this time the coffin lid was closed, and traces of coffin nails hammered into it could be seen.

Low but mournful cries came from inside, sounding distant as if from another world.

The coffin containing Lin Qianqian was carried away, in the opposite direction of the Wu mansion. The headless ghost had completed its task and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shanyuan even looked at the fatty and said in a rather fortunate tone, "Little friend Wang is blessed with good fortune, which is truly enviable. To take a trip on the road to the underworld and come out unscathed." After a pause, he couldn't help but sigh, "Don't feel too guilty about Miss Lin's matter. Everyone has their own destiny, and wealth and status are determined by fate. It's just that she had bad luck."

"A scheme that ultimately came to nothing, indeed her fate wasn't very good," Yao Shunyue said with a sneer, hinting at something.

But Luo Tianhe seemed to hear nothing. Like Yuan Shanyuan, he smiled and expressed his concern and congratulations to the fatty. The fatty also thanked Yuan Shanyuan and Luo Tianhe respectively.

Everyone seemed to have selectively forgotten about the mask incident. In short, no one mentioned it again along the way.

No one mentioned Lin Qianqian either, as if this person had never existed.

In any case, the so-called three trials on this coffin-carrying journey were finally over. And the saying "A black cat and a dead coffin, fill it with a human head" had also been fulfilled, using Lin Qianqian's life to resolve this living funeral for the second young master.

After this trial, there were no more disturbances along the way, and the group arrived smoothly at Master Wu's tomb.

Following Luo Tianhe's guidance, everyone dug open Master Wu's tomb, unearthed the coffin that had been buried deep underground, and then buried the coffin they had carried.

This was a very heavy task, but fortunately everyone was in good physical condition. After completing all of this, everyone used the remaining incense and candles to pay their respects, and while it was still dark, the group hurried back.

Perhaps out of guilt, Luo Tianhe walked in the front, distancing himself from Jiang Cheng and the others.

Yuan Shanyuan, with Bai Yu, followed far behind the group.

After all, it was still early, and even if they walked back slowly, it wouldn't be dawn yet.

Taking this opportunity, the fatty told the others about the strange things that happened on the road to the underworld, especially mentioning that Lin Qianqian had lied to him, saying that she saw the doctor appear and then died to save him.

The fatty was furious when he mentioned this, thinking that Lin Qianqian was truly a snake, and had actually come up with such a way to disturb his mind.

Unexpectedly, the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it to heart. Yao Shunyue looked at the fatty, his face slightly nervous, "Brother Wang, you said...you said Brother Jiang pushed...pushed you?"

The fatty shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't say it, Lin Qianqian said it when she lied to me. She also said that she saw my brother appear and then died to save me. She deserves to die!"

Hearing this, Yao Shunyue's gaze towards the two of them became strange. His mouth was slightly open, as if a word was stuck in his throat, wanting to say it, but not daring to. But after seeing the wounds on the fatty's body from saving him, he couldn't help but open his mouth: "Brother Wang, I want to ask a question. Never mind what that short-lived ghost Lin Qianqian said, I just want to know, did you...did you encounter anything strange on the road to the underworld?"

"Before Lin Qianqian told you about this, think carefully and then answer." After a pause, Yao Shunyue added, "For example, strange things, or...or people."

Jiang Cheng keenly noticed that Yao Shunyue's expression and tone had changed when he said these words. Li Bai also showed a puzzled and strange expression, secretly sizing up Yao Shunyue. Only the fatty was seriously considering Yao Shunyue's words, looking very carefree.

"If you say so, there...there really is one thing." The fatty said as he recalled, his brows furrowing. "When I first entered the road to the underworld, I looked back, and in a daze I saw..."

Li Bai's scalp tightened when he heard this. "You...you looked back?"

"Yes, I...I guess so." The fatty was also made nervous by Li Bai's reaction.

"One must not look back on the road to the underworld. Once you look back, you will be dragged into their world by countless lonely souls and wild ghosts. How could you have come out alive?" Li Bai had enough trust in the fatty, but this didn't make sense.

"Ah? Is it that serious?"

Yao Shunyue frowned. "Don't interrupt, let him finish. Brother Wang, what did you see in a daze?" As he spoke, Yao Shunyue's voice became tense.

The fatty couldn't help but look at Jiang Cheng, and said in a recollective and somewhat uncertain voice, "I was about to take a step, but in a daze...in a daze I saw your face. Your face looked very bad, and you kept...kept talking. I could feel that you were very anxious. I subconsciously stopped, and then it seemed like someone touched me, or maybe...maybe someone pushed me. I can't remember clearly, maybe it was you, or maybe...maybe it was my illusion, and finally I woke up."

After saying these words, the fatty himself was stunned, and then quickly shook his head. "W...what am I saying? All of this is my illusion. How could you have appeared there? It's all Lin Qianqian's preconceived illusion!"
