"Zheng Bingbing was captured by bad guys and it's hard to rescue her. I was thinking, as a Yin messenger, she shouldn't die that easily, right?"
"...Dreaming again. Her martial arts are so weak... Okay, she doesn't seem to have any martial arts, she just borrowed your light to become a Yin messenger."
"Could she die?" My heart sank. If the condition of 'immortality' couldn't be met, then our plan would have to be scrapped and redone.
"Of course, whether it's a living person or a living demon, as long as they lose vital signs, they will die."
"...Oh, is that so." I said dejectedly.
"The reason why living people are called living Yin messengers is simply because you two are alive, and we are ghosts. If you die, we will send you back." The Little Yama King said calmly.
"Sent back, reincarnated, right?" I said with a bitter smile. What's the difference from ordinary people? Maybe I could get lucky and be born into a good family?
"No, directly sent back."
"Huh?" I didn't understand.
"Dying is certainly dying, but you will come back to life. However, there is a prerequisite, and that is that your physiological state can recover to more than fifty percent of the living state."
"Huh?" I still didn't understand. "What do you mean by fifty percent?"
"...For example," the Little Yama King might have been thinking and was a bit impatient, so she cut to the chase. "Suppose someone slit your throat and you bled to death. You die, we send you back, or you can go back yourself. But your body is in a state of blood loss, and someone needs to help your body transfuse blood. If it's more than fifty percent, you can re-combine with your body and be resurrected. If after you die, your body is eaten by dogs, then you can't be resurrected. You can only remain in the living world in the form of a ghost. If you want to be like that Zhang... Zhang what's-her-name?"
"Xiao Miao," I said. I was also bringing her along, and she was squatting in the nearby woods.
"Right, like Zhang Xiao Miao, cultivate to the Yellow Qi level or above, and then you can materialize. Then you'll be similar to humans, and similar to us, just a bit colder."
Ah, with the Little Yama King's explanation, I understood. It means my deduction wasn't wrong, so it's still equivalent to immortality! I was relieved!
"Okay, thank you, Shu Yao. You carry on with your work."
"Do you need my help?" The Little Yama King, as Bingbing's direct supervisor, still asked. But her tone sounded more like politeness, so I said no, we could handle it.
After hanging up the phone, I began to re-strategize. Since it was confirmed that both Bingbing and I were immortal, I didn't need her to take the risk alone. I would go with her, becoming the 'point' in the middle, perhaps having a greater effect. Moreover, besides the bug status of being a living Yin messenger, I also had the recognized identity of a 'reincarnated Bai Ze'. They probably wouldn't easily try to kill me.
But for safety's sake, I still temporarily handed the Soul Requisition Order to Chen Ke, who wasn't participating in combat, for safekeeping. She had seen me use it many times and already knew how.
"Ke, if Bingbing and I are both killed, after the fight, use this to contact the Little Yama King... No, find Xie Bi'an. Have her come to collect our bodies, and we'll come back to life." I instructed.
Chen Ke frowned, "Are you sure this method is feasible?"
"Absolutely feasible, don't worry!" I stuffed the Soul Requisition Order into her hand. She tried pressing the button, and perhaps because I had personally authorized it, it still connected. The person on the other end asked, "Lord Wu, what is it again?"
"It's not who, I'm letting someone else hold my token. I'm going to fight. If I win, the villa is by the sea. If I lose, have people from our Yin Messenger's Mansion pull me back." I said with a smile. It was still the same young lady. Perhaps it was the weekend for their underworld today, and only one person was on duty.
After arranging my own affairs, I divided the entire team into four parts.
The first attack group was composed of Ya Nan and Diana. Although Diana was very powerful and at the peak of combat effectiveness, she lacked Qi sensing techniques, so she couldn't detect all hidden enemies in an ambush. She needed Ya Nan to guide her from the air. I had Yao Yao relay the specific instructions to Ya Nan, who was still in the air, via telepathic transmission.
Diana would flank to the mountain opposite Han Yin Temple and clear out the enemies on the ridge line from a counter-attack.
