I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Zhou Yi said, “Clean up the room, tonight I shall stay for one night.”

The master of the Yu family quickly ordered his servants to open the room once occupied by the ancestors, to replace the straw mats and quilts, and to arrange fresh fruits.

At midnight.

A dark shadow drifted into the Yu mansion and landed, transforming into a robust middle-aged man.

“Hehehe, twenty years, and I have finally returned!”

The middle-aged man made no attempt to hide his figure, confidently walking towards the main hall of the Yu family; along the way, he encountered a group of night patrol servants, who shrieked in alarm upon seeing his face.

“Third Master!”

“To think that there are still people who recognize me, not bad, not bad.”

Third Master Yu cackled a few times, then spewed out black mist, circling the servants and leaving them all unconscious.

Whether due to insufficient mana or intentionally, he did not use magic on the servants he later encountered, allowing them to report in panic to the master of the Yu family.

The main hall.

By the time Third Master Yu arrived, it was already brightly lit.

The master of the Yu family sat at the head, flanked by middle-aged and young men, essentially the core clan members of the Yu family.

“Very good, all gathered together, saving me the trouble of visiting each one of you!”

Third Master Yu clapped his hands with a laugh, showing no regard for the Protectors wielding sticks and knives as he stepped forward, looking around with nostalgia, “I was born and raised here, twenty years have passed, but it remains the same.”

The master of the Yu family watched him for a long time before saying in a deep voice, “Old Third, since you’re not dead, why have you come back?”

“Of course, to seek revenge!”

Third Master Yu said coldly, “I was lucky to escape with my life, I’ve suffered so much outside, almost dying from cold and starvation, all thanks to you people!”

An elder clansman rebuked, “You were the one who stole the Spirit Pills and took lives afterward. All convictions followed the laws of the National Dynasty. What grudge does family have to do with this?”

“I only accidentally killed a few people, which could have been resolved with money,” Third Master Yu pointed at one of the men and said, “Seventh Uncle, you were also a profligate when you were young. I heard not only did you kill people, but also committed arson. Why weren’t you sent to be beheaded?”

Seventh Uncle angrily said, “Don’t spout nonsense, do you have any evidence?”

Nowadays, the Yu family’s influence was not as strong as it used to be, with several families in the county coveting their position. If this matter were admitted, it could very well end up before the County Government Office and lead to their downfall.

“Hehehe, evidence, of course I have…”

Third Master Yu conjured the spell, a swirl of black energy enveloping Seventh Uncle, extracting a semi-transparent soul from his body.

The night breeze blew as Seventh Uncle’s soul trembled incessantly, emitting a silent scream that penetrated the heart and spirit.

“I ask you, did you kill when you were young?”

Meeting the gaze of Third Master Yu, Seventh Uncle’s soul was clouded and confused, nodding involuntarily and saying, “When I was sixteen, I killed a man in a drunken brawl.”

Third Master Yu asked, “How was that matter resolved?”

“The family paid off with Silver, bribed the county magistrate, framed that family for false accusations, and had them lashed fifty times,” said Seventh Uncle’s soul, in a daze.

“Hehehe, truly remarkable, turning the criminal into the plaintiff!”

Third Master Yu continued, “Did you also commit arson and murder?”

“Yes.”

Seventh Uncle’s soul said, “That year, after losing Silver at the gambling house, I suspected them of cheating but couldn’t find evidence. After returning home and being beaten by my father, I, in a fit of rage, set fire to the gambling house…”

“What happened then?”

“Without evidence, the matter just faded away!”

“What an easy fade away. Seventh Uncle, you truly were a youthful hero, openly killing many, not to mention the uncounted filthy deeds in secret.”

Third Master Yu glanced at the Yu family master, whose face had turned iron blue, “Big brother, what do you think should be the verdict for Seventh Uncle’s actions?”

“Old Third, times have changed!” said the master of the Yu family. “When Seventh Uncle committed those acts, the family patriarch was still alive. When it was your turn, the patriarch had already passed away. To forcibly protect you would have incited public outrage!”

Heaving a sigh, Third Master Yu said, “So that’s it, I was born too late…”

With those words, he crushed Seventh Uncle’s soul to dust.

The body on the chair, devoid of its soul, twitched a few times and then was still.

Head of the Yu family paid no attention to Seventh Uncle and asked, “Third brother, what exactly do you want by coming back today?”

“Revenge!”

Yu San Ye’s face was fierce, and, forming a spell with his hands, several vicious ghosts hovered around and screeched as they pounced on the Yu family members in the hall.

As the Head of the Yu family saw the vicious ghosts coming, he prayed continuously in his heart for the ancestor to make a move, when suddenly a sharp shout rang in his ears.

“What demon dares to run wild on the territory of this deity!”

Before his words finished, a green-robed Daoist appeared in the hall, appearing to be in his thirties or forties, holding a Jade Ruyi in his hand.

Yu San Ye recognized the person and threatened, “Chongshan Land Deity, this is a matter within the Yu family; do not interfere. I am under the Wuji Ghost God, and if you provoke my master, you will surely be crushed to the point where your soul disperses!”

“Of course, it’s revenge!”

Yu San Ye said coldly, “I barely escaped with my life, suffered so much hardship outside, several times nearly froze to death or starved, all thanks to all of you!”

An elder of the clan scolded, “You stole the Spirit Pills first, and took lives later, all the judgments followed the laws of the National Dynasty, what grievances does that have with the family?”

“I just accidentally killed a few people, a problem that could be solved with Silver, but you all watched me die…”

Yu San Ye pointed at one person and said, “Seventh Uncle, you were also a profligate when you were young; I heard not only did you kill people, you even set fires and committed violent acts, why weren’t you sent to be beheaded?”

Seventh Uncle angrily said, “Don’t spout nonsense, do you have any evidence?”

Nowadays, the prestige of the Yu family is not as great as it once was; several families in the county are watching hungrily, and if this matter were admitted, it might get passed to the County Government Office and end with no good fate.

“Hee hee hee, evidence, of course there is…”

Yu San Ye formed a spell with his hand, and a wisp of black air enveloped Seventh Uncle, extracting a semi-transparent soul from his body.

The night breeze blew, and Seventh Uncle’s soul trembled incessantly, emitting silent yet soul-piercing screams.

“I ask you, did you kill someone when you were young?”

Seventh Uncle’s soul met Yu San Ye’s gaze, dim and blurred, and involuntarily nodded and said, “When I was sixteen, I killed someone in a drunken rage.”

Yu San Ye asked, “How was this matter settled?”

Seventh Uncle’s soul spoke in a daze, “The clan paid Silver, bribed the county magistrate, and had the victim’s family beaten for false accusations, sentenced to fifty lashes.”

“Hee hee hee, truly impressive, the criminal turned into the plaintiff!”

Yu San Ye continued to ask, “Was there an incident where you set a fire and committed violence?”

“Yes.”

Seventh Uncle’s soul said, “That year, I lost Silver at the Da Fa gambling den; I suspected they cheated but could not find evidence. I was beaten by my father when I got home, and in anger, I set the Da Fa gambling den on fire…”

“What was the outcome?”

“Without proof, the matter was dropped!”

“Well dropped indeed, Seventh Uncle is truly a young hero, openly killed quite a few people, who knows how many dirty deeds you’ve done in private.”

Yu San Ye glanced at the iron-faced Head of the Yu family, “Big brother, what do you think, how should Seventh Uncle be judged?”

The Head of the Yu family said gravely, “Old matters have passed, why bring them up again?”

Yu San Ye said hatefully, “Then why, when I made a mistake, didn’t the clan help smooth things over, but instead sent me to the government office to be beheaded? Am I not your own brother?”

“Third brother, times have changed!”

The Head of the Yu family said, “When Seventh Uncle made a mistake, the ancestor was still alive, but by your time, the ancestor had already passed away. If we had forcibly protected you, it would have been cause for a mass uprising!”

Yu San Ye sighed and said, “So that’s how it is, I was just born too late…”

As his words fell, he crushed Seventh Uncle’s soul to pieces.
