I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 529: Information Sharing and Preparedness

"So, you guys don't know who appeared this time?"

"No idea!"

Duan Jiang and Zhan Yue shook their heads repeatedly, "Although the Darkness Dharma King possesses profound Dao Practice, he hasn't built his own forces, just a few maids and ghost servants who usually serve him, and they're not strong either."

"So, it means this should be another ghost interested in the 'Seven Obscure Classics,' learning that the Black Wheel King hid in the mortal world after acquiring the 'Refining Yang Chapter,' and chased after him."

Duan Jiang and Zhan Yue nodded continuously, indicating that should be the case.

Judging from the fact that they were sending people to hunt him down, the ghost's strength must be above the Black Wheel King, but how much stronger is debatable.

After all, wasn't the Black Wheel King easily suppressed by Daoist Mingzhang?

So, should we call for reinforcements?

"We still don't know if that ghost knows his subordinates are dead. We can't let the seniors stay at Taohua Village indefinitely," Shen Ying said helplessly.

Lu Zheng nodded. The opponent cast a curse on his subordinate's divine soul, and they had no clue who the opponent was. It's impossible to directly attack the lair in the Netherworld.

Fan Boyu shook his head on the side, "Others' cultivation techniques are for reference at best. How can one be so eager for someone else's Fundamental Skill? How unconfident must they be in their own cultivation? So, how capable is this ghost exactly?"

Lu Zheng glanced at him, thinking it's easy to talk without standing in his shoes. The Primordial Saint Sect's inheritance from the Upper Realm Su Nu is deep, and more importantly...

Who was the one grinning like an idiot when Du Yueyao said that Su Nu helped perfect the 'Su Nu's Prayer Method'?

"Alright, at least we know the opponent's intention," Lu Zheng said, "We can narrow down the suspects. Maybe the City God Temple will have some clues?"

Two old ghosts greedy for credit inadvertently revealed their purpose during a chat, truly lacking in confidentiality awareness.

"Let's go find Brother Xin and tell him about this, so he can report to the State City God."

After sending Du Yueyao back to sleep and Fan Boyu back to his room, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying went all the way to the City God Temple.

...

"Young Master Lu! Peach Blossom Fairy!"

It was Lu Zheng's old friend, the City Patrol Envoy Duan Zhong, who came up to greet them.

Upon learning that the two had business with Xin Zhanting, Duan Zhong opened the Yin-Yang Road and sent them into the Netherworld.

As they stepped into the Netherworld, Shen Ying asked Lu Zheng, "General Xin has always overseen the army in the Netherworld. With our power, we could enter the Netherworld ourselves, so why use the Yin-Yang Road?"

Lu Zheng blinked, "Because it's convenient, you see? Doing it myself is exhausting."

He wouldn't admit it was because he forgot and habitually took the Yin-Yang Road.

Shen Ying was speechless. How much magical power does it consume to approach the Netherworld via the Yin-Yang Road?

Back then, even the Ye Lan King could do it, and they both surpassed the Ye Lan King, so how could they not do it?

But since Lu Zheng didn't want to, Shen Ying naturally followed him, floating lightly along with him, and then said with a smile, "Lu Lang is right!"

Lu Zheng, "..."

They arrived at Yelan Mountain to find Xin Zhanting and conveyed the information they had obtained.

"What? The Darkness Dharma King is dead?"

"Brother Xin knows of this person?"

"Of course! He was a big shot in the Netherworld; how could I not know," Xin Zhanting said, "Through countless dynasties, I didn't expect him to die in this era."

"Then, Brother Xin, do you know how many other ghosts are currently searching for the 'Seven Obscure Classics' of the Darkness Dharma King?" Lu Zheng asked.

"I don't know about that," Xin Zhanting shook his head, "The secrets of the depths of the Netherworld, Lord Lu might know a few."

"Lord Lu?" Lu Zheng blinked, surprised that it was a relative of his own.

Xin Zhanting nodded, "The City God of the Yizhou Prefecture City God Temple, surnamed Lu, named Yuxing. In life, he was a circuit inspector and was canonized as Yizhou City God by the Court after his death."

"I'll report this to Lord Lu, so don't worry," Xin Zhanting said. "Since we know a clue, we naturally won't let the opponent run rampant.

The Great Jing Dynasty has a vast foundation, and many covet it. Though we can't strike everywhere, once an enemy is identified, they won't have an easy time."

Lu Zheng nodded, "I believe that."

Xin Zhanting continued, "Madam Shen, if the opponent comes, just send someone to me. Since it's a ghost from the Netherworld, this General can mobilize troops. Even two thousand ghost soldiers in a great formation would make it hard for an ordinary Ghost King to escape."

Shen Ying smiled, bowing to express her gratitude, "Thank you, General Xin, I will."

Xin Zhanting pondered, "Speaking of, didn't Broken Blade Mountain and the Chaotic Corpse Pool go quiet a while ago? Could it be that the leading ghost went to fight for the Darkness Dharma King's inheritance? I wonder if they got it?"

"Oh?" Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "Wasn't it Broken Blade Mountain and the Chaotic Corpse Pool then?"

Xin Zhanting shook his head, "Definitely not. I know the ghosts of Broken Blade Mountain and the Chaotic Corpse Pool. I've dealt with them recently, and they haven't sneaked into the mortal world."

After a pause, Xin Zhanting said, "But it must be a major force in the Netherworld to send more than twenty century-old ghosts."

Lu Zheng nodded, "That's indeed the case."

...

After chatting a bit more with Xin Zhanting and politely declining his invitation, the two took their leave.

Descending Yelan Mountain and returning to the mortal world, they returned to Taohua Village once more as the day brightened, and the Eighteen Celestial Maidens had already come back.

They briefly recounted the events of the previous night and instructed the Eighteen Celestial Maidens not to go out anymore, only to cultivate diligently at Taohua Village and stay on guard.

Lu Zheng had breakfast at the village, spent a little time with Shen Ying, and then left, returning to Tonglin County.

"Lu Lang, has someone else set their eyes on us?"

When he arrived home, he found Liu Qingyan hadn't gone to the medical shop but was waiting with Du Yueyao at the Lu Residence for him.

"Yes, but it's no big deal. From the two foolish ghosts and Zhan Yue's information last night, I've already identified the origin of the adversary and informed Brother Xin. The City God Temple will handle it."

Lu Zheng explained the whole affair to everyone present.

Fan Boyu pursed his lips, "The City God Temple is good at maintaining, not attacking. If the opponent truly resides deep in the Netherworld, how will the City God Temple deal with them? Headbutt them?"

Lu Zheng was speechless; Fan Boyu had learned the wrong things! Headbutting—who taught him that?

"What if the City God Temple can't deal with them and they come to trouble sister?" Liu Qingyan asked worriedly.

"It's alright if they come," Lu Zheng replied nonchalantly, "What are they after?"

"The 'Refining Yang Chapter,' one of the 'Seven Obscure Classics,' right?" Du Yueyao said.

Lu Zheng nodded, "That thing is with me. I've already given it to Shen Ying. If we can't beat them, just hand it over."

Liu Qingyan, "..."

Du Yueyao, "..."

Fan Boyu, "..."
