Since arriving in the Underworld, Lingfeng certainly would not settle here and had to find a way back to the Underworld.
The ghost thought for a moment and said, "We all came here through Yellow Springs Road after we died, but there are many Yin Soldiers guarding it. I don't think you can get back!"
"That may not be the case!" Lingfeng was quite confident in his abilities, but he wasn't in a hurry to return to the Underworld. He thought it would be better to enjoy himself since he had come all this way.
The other ghosts drifted away, leaving Lingfeng standing alone, and then the Underworld Abyss disappeared.
Having made plans to explore the Underworld, Lingfeng decided to first meet some of the Underworld Officials to see what they were doing and why they allowed these ghosts to come and go freely.
He walked along a path ahead.
The entire road felt desolate and eerie, devoid of any warmth. The Underworld was originally a place for ghosts, without sunlight, which made it seem somewhat lifeless.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed a group of ghosts rushing toward him in panic.
Lingfeng was puzzled and quickly stepped forward to stop them, asking, "Why are you all so frantic?"
The ghosts looked at Lingfeng with curiosity, sniffed the air, and asked, "You’re human? How did you end up here?"
Lingfeng didn't have time to chat with them and asked again, "What are you so panicked about?"
"Oh no!" one of the ghosts sighed and said, "There’s a Yasha coming from behind, looking for wild ghosts!"
Yasha feeds on wild ghosts and living people and is a figure that wild ghosts fear.
Upon hearing this, Lingfeng hurriedly looked back but saw no sign of the Yasha, feeling somewhat disappointed.
As one of the ghosts wanted to continue fleeing, they turned back to remind him, "You should run quickly! This Yasha hasn't eaten a living person in years; if it sees you, it will definitely eat you!"
"If I weren't here, you might get eaten by Yasha, but since I'm here, you don't need to run. Just watch how I kill this Yasha!" Lingfeng said fearlessly.
"Stop boasting. Yasha is incredibly powerful, looking fierce and menacing, and is a Yin Soldier by the side of the King of Hell. How can you possibly fight against him?"
Suddenly, a shout echoed from afar, shaking the ground.
"Is that Yasha?" Lingfeng asked as he saw a werewolf-like creature running from a distance, with a green face and sharp fangs, covered in green fur, holding a trident and charging towards Lingfeng. The Yasha stood about three meters tall, its mouth wide open like a bottomless pit, kicking up dust with every step it took.
Behind it, an Old Ghost was slowly running, stumbling and moving very slowly. Before long, it was caught up by Yasha. Seeing no hope, the Old Ghost fell to the ground in fear, not daring to breathe.
Yasha grinned proudly and made a face at the ghosts but inadvertently noticed Lingfeng.
Yasha paused for a moment, then revealed a surprised smile and ignored the Old Ghost, charging directly towards Lingfeng.
"Yasha has spotted you; you're in trouble now! We should run!" said one of the ghosts nearby, before quickly fleeing.
Lingfeng did not heed its warning; he raised his eyebrows and casually grabbed the Connecting Rod. With a light push of his feet, his entire body transformed into a shadow and flew towards Yasha.
Lingfeng did not intend to attack Yasha directly; he feigned an attack with the Connecting Rod, swinging it towards Yasha's head. The Yasha stepped back, tilting its head back to dodge Lingfeng's strike. It then picked up the trident and lunged at Lingfeng.
Despite its massive size and clumsiness, Yasha could not match Lingfeng's speed. After several exchanges, it had yet to touch even a hair on Lingfeng.
"You damn thing, just let me eat you so you won't suffer!" Yasha panted heavily, cursing in frustration.
Lingfeng made a face at Yasha, shouting loudly, "Can't catch me? You're just making me laugh!"
The Yasha stomped its foot in anger, quickly raising the trident high above its head. Its veins bulged as it clearly exerted great effort. Then with a shout, it hurled the trident towards Lingfeng.
The strength of Yasha was not to be underestimated by Lingfeng, who dared not take his attack head-on. Instead, he leaped aside and transformed the Connecting Rod into a three-meter length. As the three prongs flew towards Lingfeng, he merely flicked the Connecting Rod lightly, causing Yasha to change direction. Lingfeng then stepped back a few paces, waiting for the inertia of the prongs to dissipate before swinging his hand to send them back towards Yasha.
Yasha had no idea of Lingfeng's abilities. Seeing the iron rod in his hand could change length left him stunned, and he didn't even notice the prongs flying towards him.
Lingfeng did not intend to let it end so easily. He casually took out a pebble and flicked it, knocking the three prongs to the ground, embedding them at Yasha's feet.
"Who are you? Why do you have the Golden Staff?" Yasha exclaimed, thinking that the iron rod's ability to stretch meant that Sun Wukong, the troublemaker of the Underworld, had returned.
Lingfeng rolled his eyes and mimicked Sun Wukong's posture, curling his legs and feet awkwardly while speaking in a high-pitched voice, "I am your grandpa Sun Wukong!"
Upon hearing Lingfeng introduce himself, Yasha immediately knelt down without thinking and began to bow repeatedly, his large head creating dents in the ground with each bow. He shouted, "Grandpa Sun, spare my life! I didn't know you were here! Please have mercy!"
Lingfeng was laughing internally but maintained a serious expression as he said, "Since you know your mistake, grandpa will spare you! Get up!"
Yasha complied and hurried over to Lingfeng's side, lowering his head and softly asking, "Grandpa Sun has already attained enlightenment; why have you come to the Underworld?"
"Although I have attained enlightenment, I have grown accustomed to being carefree and came to play in the Underworld. Unfortunately, I ran into you, this gluttonous Yasha, and thought I would intervene!" Lingfeng intentionally released his Spiritual Energy to mask his human presence.
"But why has Grandpa Sun transformed into this appearance? I can hardly recognize you!" Yasha chuckled awkwardly.
Lingfeng pondered for a moment and replied, "I, Old Sun, left the Spirit Mountain without permission. To avoid drawing attention, I transformed into this form!"
"Avoid drawing attention?" Yasha scrutinized Lingfeng and felt something was off. In the past, Sun Wukong loved to show off. Although he had attained enlightenment, his nature remained unchanged; how could he possibly dislike being ostentatious? Moreover, since he had already entered the realm of King Yan, why not reveal his true form?
Thinking this through, Yasha found Lingfeng's demeanor increasingly contrived; it was clearly an act with none of the imposing presence of the Great Sage who once caused havoc in the palace.
"Great Sage, since you are already in King Yan's domain, why not reveal your true form? When you came to the Underworld before, I never got to see your true appearance. May I have a glimpse?" Yasha felt something was amiss and made this request.
"This is nothing difficult!" Lingfeng waved his hand and readily agreed to Yasha's request.
"Pay close attention!" Lingfeng said, then took the Connecting Rod in his hand, striking a pose as if it were a top. He began to mumble an Incantation randomly.
Yasha stared intently at Lingfeng, not taking his eyes off him, wanting to see the true form of Sun Wukong and whether this was really Sun Wukong, but he forgot to be on guard.
Lingfeng half-opened one eye, mumbling something indistinctly. Seeing Yasha's unwavering gaze on him, Lingfeng sneered inwardly and suddenly shouted loudly, abruptly changing from a top pose to a dog-beating stance.
The Connecting Rod was already held high by Lingfeng, and with Yasha right in front of him, there was no way for Yasha to dodge the attack from the Connecting Rod.
Yasha, who was already tall, was startled by Lingfeng's sudden shout and had not reacted yet when the Connecting Rod struck his chest with a muffled thud.
Yasha felt a dull pain in his chest, and soon he could not withstand the pressure exerted by the Connecting Rod and sat down on the ground.
Lingfeng stepped back a bit, listening to Yasha groaning in pain, and cheered, "My grandson, do you recognize your grandfather?"
"I recognize, I recognize!" Yasha had not yet recognized Lingfeng's true identity; he only thought that Sun Wukong was angry and had hit him.
Lingfeng sneered and walked up to Yasha with the Connecting Rod. "Do you really recognize your grandfather?"
Yasha kept saying he recognized him but did not dare to look directly at Lingfeng and did not stand up.
"Then who am I?" Lingfeng asked again.
"You are Grandpa Sun, Grandpa Sun..." Yasha called out repeatedly.
Lingfeng impatiently glanced at Yasha, grabbed his black ear, leaned close to it, and shouted, "Let me tell you, I am your Grandpa Lingfeng!"
Yasha was stunned and still nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, Grandpa Lingfeng..." maintaining a fearful demeanor.
"He must be scared of me. I'll hold back my Spiritual Energy!" Lingfeng thought to himself, and then he restrained his Spiritual Energy, revealing the presence of a living person.
Upon sensing the presence of a living person, Yasha trembled violently and hesitated to glance at Lingfeng. After staring at Lingfeng for a moment, he realized that Lingfeng was a mortal. Suddenly, his eyes ignited with rage as he let out a roar, grabbing three prongs and struggling to stand up, charging toward Lingfeng.
Lingfeng was eager to have a good fight with him and deliberately said, "My grandson, do you think I look young?"
"Ah~~!" Yasha was infuriated, pounding his chest like an angry gorilla.
Seeing this, Lingfeng made a face at Yasha and then, using his agile body, easily dodged many of Yasha's attacks.
The ghosts watching couldn't help but cheer for Lingfeng from the sidelines.
After several exchanges, Yasha was already panting heavily.
"Hey, are we done playing?" Lingfeng asked nonchalantly, standing proudly in front of Yasha with a smug expression.
Yasha glared at Lingfeng but remained silent. After a while, he slowly stood up and coldly said to Lingfeng, "You've released your Yang energy; it will attract many Evil Spirits. I'm not going to fight you anymore. Just wait to become food for those Evil Spirits!"
