Zhou Lao was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuan Muye with some surprise. He hadn't expected him to ask that.

"He went out this morning and won't be back until noon."

Yuan Muye checked the time. It would still be a while. Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Muye told Zhou Yike about Zhou Lao and Zhou Lao's son.

After listening, Zhou Yike was a little surprised because Yuan Muye wanted her to temporarily study with Zhou Lao's son.

She looked at Yuan Muye in confusion and asked, "Shifu, can't you teach me personally?"

"Your Shifu has a very tricky matter to deal with recently and doesn't have time to teach you. Zhou Lao's son is strong, and I believe he can help you." Yuan Muye looked at Zhou Yike with a calm expression.

Zhou Yike frowned slightly and said, "Alright then!"

Zhou Lao's son was also a member of the Lingyi Ju (Supernatural Affairs Bureau) before, but some things happened and he had to leave.

Although he was no longer in the Lingyi Ju, he was still working.

As for why Yuan Muye sought out Zhou Lao's son, it was because he had saved Zhou Lao's son's life, and Zhou Lao's son was relatively honest. He could be considered someone he trusted.

In the current situation, it was still difficult to find someone to trust.

After waiting for about two hours, Zhou Lao's son, Zhou Changsheng, finally returned.

When Zhou Changsheng saw Yuan Muye, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He looked at Yuan Muye with a smile and said, "Deputy Director Yuan, why do you have time to come over today?"

"It's like this, I've been quite busy recently, and I just happened to take in a disciple. I really don't have time to teach her, but I don't want to waste her time, so I wanted you to help me teach her." Yuan Muye looked at Zhou Changsheng with a smile.

Zhou Changsheng agreed without even thinking.

"Don't worry, I will definitely teach her well."

Zhou Changsheng responded and then looked at Zhou Yike.

Zhou Yike smiled and said in a calm tone, "Shifu, should I also call him Shifu?"

"It's up to you." Yuan Muye said casually.

Zhou Changsheng smiled and said, "You can call me whatever you want."

Zhou Yike pursed her lips. She couldn't just call him by his name, as that would make her seem impolite.

But if she called him Shifu, she felt it wasn't appropriate since she hadn't officially become Zhou Changsheng's disciple.

After thinking it over, Zhou Yike looked at Zhou Changsheng and said, "I'll call you Zhou-dage (Brother Zhou)."

"Alright."

After settling things, Yuan Muye got up to say goodbye, and he also gave Zhou Yike a few words of advice before leaving.

Leaving Zhou Changsheng's house, Yuan Muye didn't return to the Lingyi Ju, but went to the hotel to find Jiang Yicheng.

At this point, Jiang Yicheng's opinion of Yuan Muye was different from the beginning.

At first, Jiang Yicheng looked down on Yuan Muye somewhat, but after experiencing the abandoned house incident, he knew that Yuan Muye wasn't as simple as he appeared.

Jiang Yicheng was still a little surprised by Yuan Muye's sudden arrival, but he quickly realized something.

"Did something happen?" Jiang Yicheng asked straightforwardly.

Yuan Muye looked at Jiang Yicheng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile and said, "Captain Jiang, I don't know how to say some things to you, but I have to tell you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yicheng was also a little confused, feeling that something was strange.

"Just say what you want to say."

Yuan Muye hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone told me that Yuncheng cannot be defended, so I came to discuss countermeasures with you."

Jiang Yicheng looked at Yuan Muye with some surprise and asked in astonishment, "Who told you that?"

"I can't tell you who said it for the time being, but I think he shouldn't lie to me." Yuan Muye spoke vaguely. Currently, he couldn't reveal the Yama King's matter.

The human world was already chaotic enough. If those evil ghosts knew that the Yama King was not in the underworld, they would definitely cause trouble there.

At that time, both the human world and the underworld would be in turmoil.

Jiang Yicheng was even more puzzled, pursing his lips and asking doubtfully, "How does that person know that Yuncheng cannot be defended?"

Faced with his question, Yuan Muye didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't possibly say that the Yama King told him not to defend Yuncheng, could he?

In fact, Yuan Muye was also very curious as to why the Yama King would do this.

With the Yama King's status, not to mention the heavens, but just in terms of the human world and the underworld, he was already a king. How could he possibly care about a mere Yuncheng? So there must be other reasons involved.

But the Yama King didn't say, and he had no way of knowing.

"He... I can only tell you that his identity is extraordinary. Even ten of you and me combined wouldn't be his match." Yuan Muye said seriously.

Jiang Yicheng was stunned. Ten of him and Yuan Muye weren't that person's match? How terrifying was that person's strength?

If it was really as Yuan Muye said, even if they were completely wiped out, it would be impossible to stop that person from destroying Yuncheng.

This... was simply too terrifying.

Jiang Yicheng looked at Yuan Muye seriously and said, "Deputy Director Yuan, what are your thoughts now?"

"I'm a little lost and don't know how to face this matter."

Yuan Muye replied in a low voice. He was indeed a bit at a loss right now. If the result of his efforts was still the same, he didn't know if it was necessary to continue.

He was afraid that the people of Yuncheng would die one by one in front of him.

This feeling was simply too uncomfortable.

But if he gave up directly, then Yuncheng would be one hundred percent doomed.

Jiang Yicheng was also a little confused by what he said, but thinking about it, their purpose in coming here was to protect Yuncheng. If they gave up on Yuncheng and left directly, even if they returned to the First Capital City, it wouldn't be honorable.

Dying here was more honorable than being a deserter.

Although they were arrogant, they also knew about honor and disgrace.

"Are you planning to give up?" Jiang Yicheng asked tentatively.

Yuan Muye glanced at Jiang Yicheng and said with a serious expression, "I'm not planning to."

His original intention in joining the Lingyi Ju was to protect humans. If he gave up just like that, he would feel sorry for himself.

"Then that's fine. No matter what the result is, as long as we've tried our best, we won't regret it." Jiang Yicheng said seriously.

Yuan Muye was stunned, not expecting Jiang Yicheng's attitude to be so firm.

Jiang Yicheng wasn't from Yuncheng, but he was still like this. He had left Yuncheng, so how could he talk about giving up?

"I understand. Do you have time now? Let's go to the Lingyi Ju and call everyone together for a meeting to discuss this matter."

"Okay."

After Jiang Yicheng prepared himself, he went to the Lingyi Ju with Yuan Muye.

Arriving at the Lingyi Ju, Yuan Muye immediately gathered everyone and held a meeting.

In the meeting room, everyone was waiting for Yuan Muye to speak.
