Yama Rising

Chapter 534: LSD

Things aren’t over. Just like what the Second King Yanluo mentioned, casting myths and fabricating miracles is a never-ending process.

Liu Yu might be relying on the strength of a foreign underworld, but he probably also understands that he cannot fully place his trust in a foreign entity. He’s wary of the possibility that Tsar Arturo might just be helping him out because their interests are aligned for now. And if that’s the case… does that mean that he’s trying to remove all traces of Arturo from the equation? To think that he wouldn’t even spare the passengers from Pusan.

These conjectures are far too arbitrary.

“Separately, I’d like you to notify Oda Nobutada as well. He’ll come along with us.”

“Got it…” Wang Chenghao was dismayed to learn of the fact that their destination this time was Daehan. His impression of Daehan was that there was hardly anything to do there. To make matters worse, there seemed to be some clues pointing to unrest in those parts…

“Have you finally made a decision?” Xu Yangyi wasn’t surprised to see Qin Ye’s appearance back here. But, on the other hand, Qin Ye was astonished to find Xu Yangyi… washing his dog…

With eyes gleaming with spiritual awareness and intelligence.

Xu Yangyi was somewhat baffled by Qin Ye’s silence. Thus, he turned back, only to notice how Qin Ye and the husky were staring at each other. Xu Yangyi coughed dryly, “You two… know each other?”

How did I end up being compared with a silly little dog?!

“I’ll be heading there unobtrusively.”

Qin Ye chuckled bitterly. Needless to say, the first thought to cross their mind would most certainly be along the lines of - Dayum… Are they really so poor and weak that they can’t afford a simple ceremonial procession? Why don’t we send some troops over to have fun in their territories?

“Separately, take a look at this.” Xu Yangyi made a grabbing motion, and at once, a document flew right over to Qin Ye’s side.

It’s an SOS…

Intended Recipient: Headquarters of the Special Investigations Department, Yan Capital, Cathay.

It’s Gyeonggi Province again… How can it be Gyeonggi Province again?!

Qin Ye nodded gravely.

Sure, a Prefect-class expert might only be in charge of a district in Cathay, but in Daehan, he could easily be in charge of the entire country! No wonder the Daehan LSD would react this way…

“They can run, and they can hide, but every victim cursed by the nameless god of death would still certainly die.”

Is that to say that the exchange student from Gyeonggi Province had died from the curse? Wouldn’t this explain how he ended up turning into a zombie?

Zombies!

“Why should I alert him to these things?” Xu Yangyi lay back down onto his bed lazily and shut his eyes, “As a King Yanluo, I’d expect him to have an extremely keen sense of smell. Just think about how many attempts were made at my life when I was first appointed the King Yanluo of Hell? They didn’t stop until they realized that they were no match for me. It’s only going to be a matter of time before Qin Ye faces the same hardships I did back then, so why not sooner rather than later? Besides, I’ve already warned him.”

Just then, the hundred pound husky suddenly pounced on his stomach and began jumping around as though he were a trampoline.

“I still remember the good old days when you were such a pure and innocent man. To think that your heart is this tainted now…”

Hanyang Underworld.

The surroundings were filled with dazzling colours, and ghastly citizens bustled about in a busy rhythm of footsteps. The prosperity of the Hanyang Underworld wasn’t in the least bit inferior to Ashmound City. After all, this was an underworld that had existed for a thousand years under the shelter of Hell’s wings, and it had never been ravaged by war.

The entire city was constructed with a distinct Ming Dynasty charm, and it was hardly influenced by the colours of Daehan at all. Streamers of scriptures and red ribbons decorated the eaves of the buildings, while the towering stores and restaurants emitted uproarious laughter and applause from time to time.

“Damn it! What the hell is this?!” “Do you even have respect for the citizens? How can we trust you to protect Hanyang?” “Sue him! Let’s go to the ministry of civil affairs and sue the hell out of these people! How dare they disrespect the law?!”

And it was precisely for that reason that none of the ghastly citizens noticed how the Yin soldiers were all wearing formal armor, replete with weapons hanging from their waists.

There was a completely different air about them. One exuded the aura of an Anitya Hellguard, while two others were clearly Soul Hunters. The Yin soldiers that had arrived were all only in the ranks of Netherworld Operatives.

Nobody said another word. The entire forest was filled with dead silence.

Where are the usual netherflames?

But the truth of the matter was that there was indeed none around these parts.

Urrrgggghhhh… Just then, a low, droning voice cut through the silence of the forest, as though a howl of a menacing beast. But… it was undoubtedly the voice of a Yin spirit.

They were all short and hoarse, just like the unintelligible sounds made by a man in his dying moments.

There’s something hiding in the forest…

Within moments, they noticed a stir in the distance, and they finally saw it - countless figures were emerging from the shadows of the forest.

It was an unforgettable sight, even for evil ghosts.

They moved slowly. However, the Yin soldiers could tell that there was a menacing grin on the faces of the zombies covered with hideous livor mortis spots.

“These are corpses that are entering the underworld with only their corpses! The only way to purge them is to cleave their heads from their bodies. Onward!”

These were the stuff of nightmares. Never in his wildest dreams would he imagine facing these things one day.

As he spoke, the chain in his hand slowly fell straight to the ground, slithering and spreading across the ground like a network of venomous vipers. Meanwhile, the zombies in the distance gradually moved quicker and quicker. At first, they were merely hobbling, and then walking… and several seconds later, every single one of them were screaming and snarling with drool dripping from their lips as they rushed over at speed!

Innumerable hands mottled with livor mortis spots reached forward, partially obscuring their contrived faces as they bared their yellowing teeth at the Yin soldiers. At once, the Yin soldiers found themselves completely engulfed by the tide of corpses.

Dong… Meanwhile, a bell rang from the top of a splendid mansion situated at the heart of Hanyang City. Liu Yu, dressed in a black robe, slowly raised his head.

Liu Yu ignored her. After a long time, he chortled softly, “Empress Catherine… you’ve never told me that these zombies would even devour Yin spirits.”

“Therefore… you’d best be clear about your lot in death.”

1. The author has actually written LSD and Lee’s Sharp Edge in English. Beats me why it isn’t LSE. Haha.

2. The Blue House is the executive office and official residence of the president of South Korea.

3. This refers to Catherine II, more often known as Catherine the Great, the longest ruling female leader of Russia.
