[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: Did I insult your mother when I was alive, or something?

[BL] I Became a General in Hell after Dying

Xie Bian drank his tea to hide his reaction the name, and to having Xin Rufei branded a traitor by the very man who had so doted on him. He couldn't shake the feeling that Tao Yuanming's mention of Xin Rufei wasn't casual, he could feel his gaze shifting between him and Fan Wujiu as if waiting for a reaction.


For his part, Old Master Wei didn't notice anything out of the usual, he hummed deeply, "It's confusing for me as well, and I'm afraid that Dancing Carp hasn't been helpful in addressing the matter."


"I'm afraid they might be completely out of their depth in a situation like this," Tao Yuanming said, his tone haughty. "Not to discount the good that they do, but minor sects aren't equipped to resolve every kind of supernatural matter."


Fan Wujiu's clear laugh cut through the conversation like a spear. "Forgive me, but sect leader Tao and Master Wei are leaving me much too curious. What matter is this?"
