Chapter 1279: Where's Wrong

In the city.

The man the guards had just seen was weaving through the crowd. Just as the guards had seen, it was Ye Fusheng!

The guards patrolled along the river but did not venture into the boundless city, proving that manpower was insufficient. Therefore, diverting just a few men would create a gap, and the most dangerous place was also the safest.

The city gate fits the requirements perfectly.

But what he didn't expect was that the ghost messenger could actually be led away. It was truly a case of finding a needle in a haystack, effortless and unexpected.

"There is no bustling Changsheng Town here, but there is much more vitality."

As Ye Fusheng walked, he muttered to himself.

Both sides of the road were lined with vendors, behind them a variety of stalls. The street was filled with people in diverse clothing, young and old, male and female. All around, hawkers' cries rose and fell incessantly.

If it weren't for the gloomy sky and hazy air, one might forget that this was the underworld city of Fengdu after death. In a daze, one might even mistake it for a bustling commercial street.

“It’s actually understandable. Although Changsheng Town is bustling, it’s full of immortals who have lived for centuries. There are few newcomers to replenish the population, making it stagnant like a pond. However, there's a constant influx of people here, like streams flowing into a lake, bringing fresh energy and vitality.”

That's why many people see their loved ones smiling and welcoming them when they are dying. It's probably not just about reunion, but also the fact that life there is no less wonderful than life on earth.

Ye Fusheng's mood also improved a bit.

Previously, whether it was Changsheng Town or the Endless City, he felt too stifled, like being in prison. Here, it's much more joyful.

I just didn't have time to stroll around like a passerby, so I moved forward at the fastest pace that matched the flow of people.

It looks close, but it takes much longer to get there.

After half an hour of waiting, we finally arrived at the entrance of the judgment hall.

This timeless scene is of the queue waiting to enter the Judgement Hall. Most people bow their heads slightly, with forlorn expressions, still reeling from the sudden separation from the mortal world and their loved ones.

There are ghost guards watching the team, and you can't get too close.

Ye Fusheng walked a little further away, then turned to look back at the Hall of Judgment. From this angle, he could just see the people inside the hall. He took another step forward, and finally saw the judge sitting on the dais.

When I saw this person's face, my heart skipped a beat.

I don't know you!

He came here because the previous head of the hall was Wei Zheng, who was also Liu Hongji's best friend who shared life and death. And Liu Hongji is a disciple of the Jiuxuan Sect.

As long as you find Wei Zheng, through his power, you can instantly find Jiang Caini.

Last year, Liu Hongji was beaten to death while protecting the women. His soul dissipated and returned to the underworld. At that time, I went to find him in the netherworld. Later, many things happened, and he was even tricked by the insidious Wei Zheng. He used my hand to suppress his opponents and establish prestige.

Later, the Ten Halls of Hell arrived, and the Ghost Emperor himself appeared. As a result, Wei Zheng was promoted three levels.

"He isn't here, where could he have gone"

"According to his previous level, a promotion would be the Ten Kings of Hell, two levels would be the Five Ghost Emperors, and three levels would be the Emperor of Fengdu. He couldn't possibly be the Emperor of Fengdu."

This was also Ye Fusheng's initial calculation. The position in Fengdu has been around for thousands of years and it is impossible to move easily. There were also no vacant positions at the time. He thought that Wei Zheng's promotion was about treatment, salary, etc.

Now it seems, the person has left.

"In any case, I can only go all in here."

Ye Fusheng made up his mind, no longer hesitating, strode toward the rear of the Judgment Hall.

This is the first checkpoint for all who come to Fengdu. Everyone is recorded here, and it's more useful to oneself than even Yama's Book of Life and Death.

Although it cannot be directly found, at least the records show where it was sent.

It's troublesome, but it's a way to make things work.

We soon arrived at the back wall, which corresponded to the main street. It was crowded with people, so we walked to the left side instead. This was a back alley, much quieter. Looking around, I saw no one. First, I raised my eyes above the wall to check the environment inside.

Nothing had changed, it was exactly the same as when he and Liu Hongji had been drinking and talking happily together before.

Speaking of it, I was the one who went back to Yang, Liu Hongji was left here, and I haven't seen him for a long time.

See no one.

Leapt into the backyard.

This is a quadrangle courtyard. Facing south, the main building was used as a temporary resting place for officials and would not store records. There's only space left on either side. Judging by the closure of the left-side door, it hasn't been opened in a long time.

"Go to the right first."

Quickly enter the house on the right, as expected, there are bookshelves on all four sides, with countless records stacked on them.

"The master set the engagement date with her around twenty-three years ago, so we need to see if the earliest records here are older than twenty-three years."

He looked around and found that the bookshelf on his left was piled high, while the one on his right was still empty. It should be stacked from left to right.

Quickly go to the far left and pick up the top one, which looks like the first record.

After opening it, I found that it read.

“Not yet year……”

It was forty or so years ago, enough!

Ye Fusheng couldn't help but smile. Since arriving in Fengdu, he had encountered nothing but setbacks. First, the emperor told him that he couldn't return to life, and then he met the legendary demon. Even trying to enter Fengdu City was met with endless resistance.

Now that you've found the location, choose the house on both sides directly.

It went pretty smoothly.

He was smiling, but his eyes suddenly caught the name above: "Gao Xiwu, courtesy name Cailian..."

I don't know the name.

But forty years ago, it seems no one would take the "character" as their name, which is a tradition of ancient people from over a hundred years ago.

He looked back, and all the names listed at the back had a character after them. Some even wrote down their ancestral hometowns, which were completely different from what they are called now.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a record from five hundred years ago."

Ye Fusheng let out a black line, but quickly put it down.

From the back, there are records dating back hundreds of years, so I can only start from the front. I came to the rightmost side and picked up the newest one. Fortunately, it was about as expected. This is last year's.

And then I flipped back through a few more.

It wasn't until the twelfth book that it finally happened, the year before last.

Looking back twelve books, it was three years ago.

"Twelve books per year, one book per month."

It's convenient to find patterns. Shift a few steps to the left and you can accurately locate records from twenty-three years ago, starting from January.

January, no.

February, no.

March, no.

After looking through the entire year, I didn't find Jiang Caimeng's name.

"Could it be that she died before I was born"

Ye Fusheng immediately picked up the records from twenty-four years ago and flipped through them quickly. Within a short incense's time, he had finished searching but still found nothing.

"Maybe I'll die in a few years"

Again, I picked up the record from twenty-two years ago, and the answer was the same: no.

"Who died later"

Picking up the record from twenty-one years ago, it's still absent.

Finally, she decided to start looking from four years ago since the marriage certificate was given to her by the old fool when he left four years ago. She must have signed it before that.

Four years ago.

Five years ago.

Six years ago.

……

Even though Ye Fusheng is a soul body, he is not the kind of soul body that ordinary people understand. His energy is thick like the sea, and his mental power is abnormally strong, so he flips through pages very quickly.

Less than two hours.

He had flipped to thirty years ago...

"No, there must be a mistake. Thirty years ago I wasn't even born, how could a marriage contract have been made" against the Emperor of Fengdu...He talked about this back and forth battle, then shook his head. At that time, they didn't fight against the peak-powered Emperor of Hades. If it was at his full stren...
