The Yin Umbrella was so angered by the Yang Umbrella that he almost vomited blood, and said in fury, “It’s not like you need your head to live, anyway? If it falls, I will put it back on for you! Get up quickly, don’t lie on the ground like a dog. Even if you are going to die, preserve a bit of your dignity; you can’t let them look down on you!

“No, I’m just an ant, I have no shame!” Yang Umbrella decisively chose the latter between image and life.

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Inexplicably, this conversation felt a bit joyful. If it weren’t for the fact that he was too nervous now, he would definitely laugh out loud right now.

Yin Umbrella was so angry that he wanted to slap the Yang Umbrella to death, but if the Yang Umbrella died, then he wouldn’t be able to live either.

Lin Xuanzhi’s 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》had already reached a certain realm. At this time, he had already developed a strong murderous intent. Lin Xuanzhi winked at Yan Tianhen and signaled the two to attack together. They glanced at each other and confirmed each other’s intent.

Nine teal lotus flowers in different directions flew towards the Yin Umbrella at the same time, trying to seal all the major acupoints in his body. Every move was fatal, closing in on him with every step. The Yin Umbrella showed a disdainful sneer, and the stick originally held in his hand shot up and turned into a huge umbrella. The lotus flowers crackled as they hit the umbrella surface but were all reflected back, cutting the surrounding windows and walls into a mess.

“Boy, you are not my match. There is no one who can oppose me in these Five Continents!” Yin Umbrella triumphantly watched Lin Xuanzhi use a backhand to send his own sword attacks flying.

Upon seeing this, Yan Tianhen tightened the whip on the neck of the Yang Umbrella a little bit. “Surrender, or I will kidnap him!”

“Go ahead; kidnap him. The hell does that have to do with me?” The Yin Umbrella was fed up with the Yang Umbrella’s cowardly manner, so he was not polite.

Yang Umbrella pouted and said aggrievedly, “How can you treat me like this?”

Yan Tianhen turned the whip into a rope and firmly tied up the Yang Umbrella, dragging him as they ran out of the ancestral temple.

When the Yin Umbrella saw this, he was stunned for a moment. He looked like he never expected Yan Tianhen to actually abduct the Yang Umbrella.

Lin Xuanzhi took this opportunity to suddenly stab at his heart. Although the Yin Umbrella held the umbrella’s handle and blocked in time, he was beaten back a few steps by the force. Just when he was about to fight back, there was a bright light outside the gate of the ancestral temple. The Yin Umbrella narrowed his eyes coldly, spoke some harsh words, and disappeared as soon as he turned around.

Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t track him either, so he could only take his sword and walk out of the ancestral temple.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Lin Runru and the others standing outside the ancestral temple.

You Ming glared at Yan Zhonghua in anger, obviously dissatisfied with his decision.

Yan Zhonghua looked indifferent. No matter how You Ming glared at him, his face remained unchanged.

“Is that the thing?” You Ming turned to stare at the young man in white who was pressed to the ground by Yan Tianhen.

Yan Tianhen nodded. “I was wondering what kind of thing was causing mischief, but it’s actually a Yin Yang Umbrella. They had somehow experienced a fortuitous encounter and cultivated into weapon spirits, and they even cultivated two weapon spirits at once –this Yang Umbrella still looks okay, but his brother, the Yin Umbrella, is not anything good. He goes around causing mischief and eating people. Those dried corpses were all done by him, and his cultivation is also very strong.”

Yin Xingli sighed and said, “The Yin Yang Umbrella actually appeared in the ancestral shrine of the Lin family. No wonder my brother and I couldn’t find the location no matter how we tried to divine it.”

Esteemed Lan Yue nodded. “The Ancestral Temple is the most sacred place in a family. The Lin Family Ancestral Temple has received incense and worship for thousands of years. Naturally, it has ways to hide items. Besides–”

He glanced at the Yang Umbrella lying on the ground, and said, “The Yin Yang Umbrella is a magic weapon that can deceive the sky and cover up the sun. Now that it has cultivated into weapon spirits, it is even more extraordinary. It’s just that this is the first time I’ve seen weapon spirits harming people.”

Yang Umbrella raised his hand to beg for mercy and said, “This doesn’t have anything to do with me ah. I’ve already tried to dissuade him, but he doesn’t listen to me, and I can’t win against him in a fight either. What can I do?”

“So that’s why you acted as accomplice?” Lin Xuanzhi walked over and asked with an unhappy expression, “Who was the one who led me to that space earlier?”

Yang Umbrella shrunk his neck and whispered, “He forced me to lead you all away. If I disagree, he will pull down my pants…”

Pull down pants?

Everyone’s expressions were a little weird.

Yan Tianhen rolled his eyes. “It looks like we can learn a lot of things from his mouth. Let’s lock him up first for interrogation.”

Since they seized the culprit, the Yin Yang Umbrella, this trip was not a waste of time. Yan Tianhen eagerly rushed towards the Lin family’s Law Enforcement Hall with the captured Yang Umbrella.

The Law Enforcement Hall still had a majestic and solemn atmosphere. The warning resonance column stood in the middle of the hall. The inscription on it seemed to remind these descendants to always follow the laws set by their ancestors.

After catching the culprit, Lin Bubai naturally returned to his original post.

Originally, Lin Bubai wanted to follow the normal procedure for a trial, but Lin Xuanzhi said, “No need.” and avoided all the extraneous steps.

The Yang Umbrella was tied to the warning resonance column. Because some people died in the Law Enforcement Hall, the gloomy and cold aura was too heavy, so he shivered from the cold.

A group of people surrounded the Yang Umbrella. Except for Yan Zhonghua, this powerhouse who had seen many big winds and waves, the others, especially Yan Tianhen, set out with punitive intentions.

Yan Tianhen walked up to the Yang Umbrella with a hand on his waist and said with a tense expression, “Be honest and explain everything you know. Otherwise, Hmm Hmm, the whip of the Law Enforcement Hall is not a mere decoration!”

The Yang Umbrella gave him plenty of face by trembling a few times. He looked scared and spoke like a little daughter-in-law, “I, I will explain everything clearly, so you must not beat me. My little heart is very fragile ah.”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

So dramatic.

You Ming took out a pill from his pocket, pried open the Yang Umbrella’s mouth, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yang Umbrella asked in horror, “What did you make me eat?”

You Ming said, “It’s just a pill that will make you tell the truth. From now on, if you dare to tell a single lie, you’ll feel the agony of having your heart pierced and your bones gouged out.”

Yang Umbrella swallowed and said, “I’m a weapon spirit, not a human. Your medicine is useless to me.”

“Really?” You Ming smiled mysteriously. “Then you might as well try to tell a lie?”

Yang Umbrella thought for a while, and tentatively said, “I’m the Yin Umbrella.”

In an instant, the Yang Umbrella felt like he was thrown into a meat grinder and stirred, and his whole body was in so much pain that he almost passed out. He quickly said, “I’m the Yang Umbrella, I’m the Yang Umbrella!”

Upon seeing this, You Ming said with satisfaction, “Why make life difficult for yourself?”

The Yang Umbrella almost cried — What the fuck is this cruel item?

Yang Umbrella also knew that he couldn’t let these ferocious humans feel like he was delaying for time, so he explained the matter from beginning to end.

It turned out that the Yin Yang Umbrella was created at the time of the creation of Heaven and Earth. At first, it was used to communicate between the Yin World and Yang World. However, after someone shut the gate of the Yin World completely, the Yin Yang Umbrella temporarily lost this function and only retained the functions of suppressing demons and spacial teleportation, etc.

The emergence of weapon spirits depended on luck. Even if weapons were formed at the time of creation, few could cultivate into weapon spirits.

The Yin Yang Umbrella originally didn’t have weapon spirits either, but thousands of years ago, they were enlightened by Crafting Monarch Bai Wen, touched the blood of Demon Venerable Radiant Sky and Emperor Xuan Lou simultaneously, and were also worshipped by the incense from the Lin family for thousands of years. In addition, the East Continent had outstanding geography and talented humans, and the Lin family also happened to be on the dragon’s head of a spiritual vein in the earth. Therefore, with the accumulation of time and the change of the celestial bodies, the Yin Yang Umbrella actually produced a pair of weapon spirits.

Yang Umbrella said very bitterly, “My younger brother and I were originally having a good time in the Lin family ancestral temple and didn’t want to come out. However, we didn’t know what kind of strange demonic things were locked away in the Lin family ancestral temple. Unexpectedly, they broke into the Great Demon-Sealing Array and tried to devour us. My younger brother’s temper had always been insidious, and he also didn’t want to see us suffer losses, so he swallowed all those invading demonic creatures.

Later, probably because of the aftereffects, my younger brother’s temperament got worse and worse. A few days ago, a hole suddenly appeared in the Great Demon-Sealing Array for some reason, and my Didi and I were finally able to see the light of day again. I had originally planned to travel the mountains and play in the rivers together with him, but unexpectedly, he actually ran out while I was sleeping at night to commit evil and endanger others.

After I found out about it, I sternly stopped him. However, my Didi did not listen to my advice at all, insisting on using this evil method to quickly improve his cultivation level. To be honest, even if you all didn’t take the initiative to find us today, I certainly would’ve found some time to look for you and ask for your help.”

You Ming narrowed his eyes and sized up the Yang Umbrella. Obviously, he didn’t really believe what the Yang Umbrella said. He sneered, “Look for us? Do you know who we are? Are you not afraid that we will kill the Yin Umbrella after we see him?”

Yang Umbrella said with a serious expression, “I know you guys are looking for the East Continent’s seal and want to open the Five Continents’ barrier. If either of us dies, the Yin Yang Umbrella will become completely useless. After that, there will be no possibility of opening the Five Continents’ barrier. You will not do this.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “You two are in the ancestral shrine every day, so how do you know these matters?”

Yang Umbrella answered, “During the day, I will also come out to inquire for information. My Didi is the Yin side, so he is very sensitive to Yang attribute things. In addition, he inhaled too much Yin Qi, so he can only move around at night. I am the Yang side and am very sensitive to Yin Qi, but I haven’t done anything bad, so the night has little effect on me…”

“You still dare to lie?!” Yan Tianhen raised his eyebrows and glared at the Yang Umbrella. “Those Yin constitution disciples who died unjustly — didn’t you disclose their information to the Yin Umbrella? That boy even led me to the Pagoda Ghost Market, but he still didn’t sense the Yin Qi on my body. It can be seen that he cannot sense Yin Qi at all. If it wasn’t for you–”

“You’re mistaken about me.” The Yang Umbrella looked at Yan Tianhen’s face, which looked more and more like he was about to eat people. He interrupted and explained, “Someone else told my Didi about all those Yin constitution people, but I’ve never met that person before. Although I can sense people with Yin constitutions, I don’t want my brother to improve his cultivation by harming others, so how can I tell him this? Besides, whose Yin Qi can match yours? If I truly helped him, then I would’ve told him about your constitution. If I had done that, how could he have let you go so easily?”

As soon as Yan Tianhen heard it, his heart thought, That’s true ah. The Yin Umbrella completely ignored me right after bringing me to the Pagoda Ghost Market. If the Yin Umbrella had already realized that I have a Mingyin constitution, then I’m afraid that his goal would not have been as simple as merely throwing me away.

TL’s corner:

Zaki: I was stumped and riddled with confusion in this chapter (and the previous one too). Translating without understanding anything and got so confused with the two umbrellas. Please thank our awesome Ea for fixing this chapter for you all. Without her, this chapter would have been unreadable and then Rose would definitely throw me out of the window. ????
