Another Supreme Unity Five Thunders incantation descended.
However, the chief hall master adapted remarkably to his divine soul state after death, raising his hands, the souls of over twenty girls were blocked between him and the thunder.
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, killing intent spreading.
“Boom!”
The Supreme Unity Five Thunders struck down, over ten girls’ souls were transcended by the thunder, while the chief hall master carried the other eight girls’ souls, his body enveloped in the aura of Qingwei divine thunder, suddenly vanishing.
“Entered the underworld?”
Lu Zheng could not help but frown, he did not expect that wiping out Jin Jue Hall could go awry like this.
No wonder the ordinary officials and merchants in this world were relatively mild.
However…
“Things have reached this point, just one last twitch away, and you think I will let you continue to roam freely in the underworld?”
The chief hall master could control the girls’ souls, clearly possessing ghost cultivation techniques, letting him enter the underworld intact would be releasing the tiger back to the mountain.
With the techniques he cultivated, would he not still need to enter the mortal realm daily to abduct girls?
Lu Zheng glanced around, at this moment Jin Jue Hall was in chaos, behind in the courtyard, two gang members gaped in shock, unable to close their mouths for a long time, while that Old You hugged the two unconscious girls, trembling.
With a cold laugh, Lu Zheng sensed the entire area, pinched with his right hand, the cloud qi permeating the estate surged into each gang member’s body.
In just two breaths, all the gang members in the estate were dead, only leaving some abducted servants responsible for cleaning and cooking, probably locals from nearby villages.
“Puff!”
Old You spat out blood, forcing out the cloud qi in his body, hurriedly kneeling to beg for mercy, “Senior spare my life! Old You is a physician, working for Jin Jue Hall was also out of helplessness!”
“Physician?”
“Exactly! Exactly!”
Lu Zheng sneered, “You have been in Jin Jue Hall for so many years, done countless evils, long tied to Jin Jue Hall, still forced…”
“Senior please hear me out, this old man was only captured a little over a month ago!”
“Heh, then who made the corpse dissolving powder? Did not expect you to be a talent.”
“Ah!?”
Lu Zheng said no more, just one Golden Vault Heart Sword, and Old You who had slightly practised an unnamed qi nurturing method immediately perished.
Looking at the over ten girls in the courtyard, Lu Zheng thought they would be afraid, but unexpectedly every one of them gazed at him intently, full of expectation.
Of course, girls mature early, they had long understood their current situation, so this reaction was not strange.
“I will take you to the yamen, let them send you home, alright?”
“Yes,”
Lu Zheng first swiftly searched the three hall masters’ corpses and residences, obtaining some side-door spells, among them the method to refine girls’ souls.
In the next moment, with a wave of his hand, Lu Zheng lifted these over ten girls along with the two unconscious ones, soared into the clouds, flying straight to the county yamen.
Jin Jue Hall had operated in Qingyao County for many years, but now Jin Jue Hall was uprooted, if Qingyao County did not want to be implicated, they would only redouble efforts on sending back the girls.
He manifested his figure directly above the county yamen, landing inside, told the county’s constables about the matter, then Lu Zheng waved and left, near the City God Temple he reached out and tore, using mana to connect the mortal realm and the underworld, with one step entering the underworld.
…
The underworld.
Dark without sunlight, underworld qi permeating.
As soon as Lu Zheng stepped into the underworld, he saw two figures not far away.
No, two ghosts.
One hanged ghost, one starved ghost.
“A human!?”
“So much yang qi! Smells good!”
“Eat him?”
“Go!”
Randomly entering the underworld had this drawback, you only knew it would be near the yellow spring road where space was thin, but could not control the exact entry point, might just crash into a group of ghosts.
Hearing the two ghosts speak, Lu Zheng immediately reacted, waved to cast a breath-concealing spell on himself, then countered with two Golden Vault Heart Swords, cleaving the two ghosts dead.
Who knew where these ghosts came from, did they not know that people who could casually enter the underworld were not to be provoked?
Pinching a seal with his hands, casting the qi-observing technique, Lu Zheng located the thunder dark injury remaining in the chief hall master’s divine soul, only thirty or fifty li from him, not run far.
Or rather… he did not expect Lu Zheng would chase into the underworld.
Since you did not remove it at the first moment, then you are fated to die utterly.
Lu Zheng did not ride clouds, but turned into a black light, in the blink of an eye darting out.
…
On the other side.
The chief hall master drove the eight girls’ souls to flee while fully expelling the Qingwei thunder in his body.
However, how could the Qingwei Jade Vault divine thunder be so easy to remove?
And this thunder aura in the underworld was like an eight-hundred-watt bulb, he had already noticed several gloomy gazes from the surroundings locking on him, but they quickly vanished, hiding into the dark underworld.
“Go!”
“I wonder if that Qingwei Palace Daoist will catch up, I must quickly find a safe place to expel the thunder in my body.”
The chief hall master flew towards the depths of the underworld, nonstop, just spotting a black mist-shrouded forest in the distance, his eyes lit up, about to enter, but suddenly felt a palpitation.
“This is…”
The chief hall master abruptly turned back, seeing a black light approaching from behind.
Having become a ghost, the chief hall master’s vision improved, he saw clearly, the comer had fully concealed his aura, but it was precisely the person who killed him in the mortal realm just now!
“Killing is just a nod of the head! You actually chase to the underworld to scatter my soul, that is really too vicious!”
The chief hall master glared furiously, could not help roaring, then wrapped the eight girls’ souls and rushed into the forest.
Lu Zheng pursued relentlessly, about to follow the chief hall master into the forest, but suddenly felt a palpitation, looking up to find the black mist forest seemed like a cage.
“This is… a formation?”
In the next moment, the chief hall master had rushed into the forest, then lightning surged on his body.
Lu Zheng could not help frowning, “This is the thunder spell I left on him, triggering this formation’s reaction?”
“What little ghost from where! Breaking my formation?”
A rebuke sounded, then a delighted voice rang out.
“Hahaha, truly heaven does not abandon me! You this sneaky filthy little person, in the end could not keep me, wait for me to return to Qianjun Cave, see if you dare come knocking! Hahaha!”
As the words fell, the thick black mist was torn open a small gap by the thunder on the chief hall master, then a white bone skeleton rushed out from the forest.
Lu Zheng watched from afar, seeing the white bone skeleton’s body crystalline like jade, but covered in cracks, and its aura wilted, fluctuating up and down unstably, clearly with extremely heavy injuries.
“Thanks to you this little ghost saving me from fire and water, as gratitude, go die in my stead!”
Then, this white bone skeleton smoothly backhanded a slap, sending the chief hall master into the forest, Lu Zheng saw clearly, the thunder on the chief hall master’s body was quickly ground away, then his own divine soul ghost body and the eight girls were swallowed together, soul scattered and dispersed.
While the white bone skeleton did not stop, not even daring to take a curve, charging straight towards Lu Zheng.
“Little ghost, die!”
A mere humanoid little ghost whose aura could not be sensed, even with his injuries, could be extinguished with a flip of the hand.
Lu Zheng shook his head, looking at the figure rising from the forest, thinking no wonder the voice sounded familiar just now.
Since that is so…
Lu Zheng’s mouth curved, “Qingwei Jade Vault, Supreme Unity Five Thunders, strike!”
