Chapter 214 - 213: Walking the Yin Road
Qingping Temple’s offering of a golden statue of the Grandmaster was a major event, yet the temple master had been away for many days. Qin Liuxi, without wasting any words, directly went to fetch him.
As for the distance from Li City to Qinglan Temple, it posed no problem for her. If the bright paths were impassable, there was still the Yin Road to travel.
Qin Liuxi performed a ritual in her private courtyard and opened a passage on the Yin Road, entering it.
To travel the Yin Road, it is not said that the road was only for people; yin souls also traversed it, borrowing the road as ghost soldiers do.
And therein lies a rule, called "humans walk in the middle, ghosts walk on both sides, do not block their path, and leave each other alone."
Those with weaker fortunes and lighter life-presences might see yin souls passing by on both sides of the Yin Road. If they cried out in alarm at this time, they would be dragged into it, their souls captured, and their ends would either be torn apart or fall eternally—resulting in death. Better off are those who exit the Yin Road, yet they lose a soul and a spirit, becoming insensible and mad henceforth.
Qin Liuxi walked in the middle of the road, never glancing sideways at the ferocious ghostly shadows.
"It’s a living soul, a living soul traversing the Yin Road."
"Such a fragrant living soul."
"Eating her, I could certainly become a Ghost King."
"Pah! Like you could be a Ghost King. Is the Five Ghost Kings just for show?"
