[Mature Content - Reincarnation/ Cultivation/ Past Lives] Can death be a new beginning? Xie Bian wakes up in the Underworld being interrogated by King Yanluo, who tells him he has a job for him, and to stop calling him King! He's going to join the mysterious Fan Wujiu in bringing errant souls to the Underworld so that they can follow the cycle of life and death as intended. Something is keeping the souls of the dead in the human realm, and it's Xie Bian's and Fan Wujiu's task to find out what. But there's more than meets the eye to his fellow Underworld General. Fan Wujiu is cold and distant, and keeps Xie Bian at arms length -- almost as if they've met before. And what is going on with the odd book Yanluo gave Xie Bian, who tells the life story of the mysterious Fu Shulin, in his quest to become an extraordinary cultivator despite his humble background? Something tells Xie Bian that these events are all connected, and that somehow he's in the middle of it all. --- Xie Bian: Was I not supposed to forget my past life after dying? I thought everyone had to drink Meng Po's soup! Yanluo: ... Xie Bian: Why does it feel like you hate me even though we just met? Fan Wujiu: ....

Careless rage

There was no doubt in Fu Shulin's mind that Tao Yuanming would kill him if given half a chance, and perhaps he would truly suffer no repercussions from it. Fu Shulin had issued his challenge and if he died as a consequence of it then he would have no one to blame but himself.

So he needed to win.

If he unleashed the full potential of his spiritual energy as he had done at the inn, he might succeed, the problem would be exposing himself. If any of the surviving Soaring Crane cultivators from that day were in the crowd they would recognize the destruction, if not him.

They stood on opposing sides of the stage, Tao Yuanming unsheathed his sword, but didn't offer Fu Shulin the use of a weapon as well. It wouldn't make much of a difference anyway, he hadn't trained much outside the bamboo sword Yao Yan had given him, and was middling with it at best.

He wondered if Yao Yan was watching from the crowd, and what he was thinking.
