I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 534: Chasing All the Way into the Netherworld
Another Taiyi Five Thunder Curse was cast down.
However, the Grand Hall Master was quite adapted to the state of his Divine Soul after death. With a wave of his hands, he blocked twenty-some girl souls between himself and the thunder.
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with killing intent.
"Boom!"
The Taiyi Five-Thunder Strike descended, and a dozen girl souls were transcended by the thunder, while the Grand Hall Master enveloped with the aura of Qingwei Divine Thunder vanished with the remaining eight girl souls.
"Entered the Netherworld, did he?"
Lu Zheng frowned, not expecting that annihilating Golden Extinction Hall could go sideways.
No wonder the ordinary officials and businessmen of this world are relatively mild.
But...
"Things have come to this point, just short of the final blow, can I let you continue to roam freely in the Netherworld?"
The Grand Hall Master can act as a Summoner with girl souls, evidently possessing Ghost Cultivation Techniques. Letting him into the Netherworld, unharmed, is not unlike releasing a tiger back to the mountain.
With the Cultivation Technique he practices, wouldn’t he have to frequently plunder girls from the mortal world?
Lu Zheng glanced around. At this point, Golden Extinction Hall was already in chaos. In the courtyard behind, two shocked members gaped in disbelief, unable to close their mouths, and Old Man You was hugging two unconscious girls, trembling.
With a cold laugh, Lu Zheng sensed the atmosphere around him, squeezing his right hand, causing the Cloud Qi permeating the entire estate to rush into the bodies of the gang members.
Within just two breaths, all the gang members in the estate were dead, leaving only a few servants brought in to handle chores and cooking, who were likely ordinary folks from nearby villages.
"Pft!"
Old Man You spat blood, forcing out the Cloud Qi within, hurriedly knelt begging for mercy, "Spare me, Senior! Old Man You is just a physician, forced to work for Golden Extinction Hall!"
"Physician?"
"That’s right! That’s right!"
Lu Zheng sneered, "You’ve been with Golden Extinction Hall for so many years, doing all kinds of evil, already tied to them, and now still pleading...."
"Senior, allow me to explain, I was captured only a month ago!"
"Heh, who made the Corpse-Dissolving Powder? Didn’t expect you were a talent."
"Ah!?"
Lu Zheng spoke no further, merely a stroke of Golden Palace Heart Sword, and Old Man You, who learned a bit of the Nameless Qi Cultivation Technique, instantly met his end.
Looking at the ten or so girls in the courtyard, Lu Zheng originally thought they would be afraid, yet to his surprise, each of them gazed at him with expectation.
Indeed, girls mature early, having already understood their situation. Such behavior is not surprising.
"I’ll take you to the Government Office, where they can send you home, okay?"
"Okay—"
Lu Zheng first swiftly searched the bodies and residences of the three Hall Masters, obtaining some unusual spells, including the methodology for refining girl souls.
The next moment, with a wave of his hand, Lu Zheng levitated the dozen or so girls along with the two unconscious ones, ascending the clouds, heading straight to the County Government Office.
Golden Extinction Hall had operated in Qingyao County for years, but now it has been uprooted. If Qingyao County doesn’t want to be implicated, they will put extra effort in returning the girls. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Directly revealing his form above the County Government Office, landing inside, informing the Chief Constable, then Lu Zheng waved his hand and left, tearing a connection between the mortal world and the Netherworld with magical power near the City God Temple, into which he stepped.
...
Netherworld.
Ever dark, permeated with Nether Qi.
Lu Zheng barely entered the Netherworld when he saw two figures not far away.
No, two ghosts.
A hanged ghost and a starved ghost.
"Human!?"
"So much Yang Qi! Smells good!"
"Devour him?"
"Attack!"
Entering the Netherworld like this has its drawbacks; you only know you are somewhere near the weak spots of Yin-Yang Road, but can’t control the precise location of your entry, and might crash into a pack of ghosts.
Hearing the ghosts speak, Lu Zheng reacted instantly, applied Breath Concealment Technique upon himself, then with a reverse hand, sent two strokes of Golden Palace Heart Sword, slashing the two ghostly figures to death.
Who knows where these ghosts came from, not knowing those who can casually enter the Netherworld are not to be trifled with?
With formed seals in hand, executing Qi Observation Technique, Lu Zheng found the remaining thunder injury in the Grand Hall Master’s Divine Soul, only thirty to fifty miles away, having not fled far.
Or perhaps... he didn’t expect that I’d chase into the Netherworld.
Since you haven’t dispelled it right away, then it’s only right that you face death.
Lu Zheng didn’t ascend the clouds, but transformed into a black light, darting out in the blink of an eye.
...
Elsewhere.
The Grand Hall Master, while driving the eight girl souls in flight, focused fully on dispelling the Qingwei Divine Thunder inside.
However, how could the Qingwei Yu Chen Divine Thunder be so easily removed?
And the thunder aura, in the Netherworld, seemed like an 800-watt bulb. He already noticed several sinister glances at him, but they vanished quickly, merging into the dark Netherworld.
"Move!"
"Not sure if that Daoist from Qingwei Palace would chase after me, I must find a safe place quickly to remove the thunder within."
The Grand Hall Master fled into the depths of the Netherworld, never stopping, spotted a forest enveloped in black mist afar, his eyes gleaming, ready to enter, when a sudden palpitation gripped him.
"This is..."
Turning abruptly, the Grand Hall Master saw a black light closing in behind.
Even as a ghost, the Grand Hall Master’s eyesight had improved, seeing clearly that the person had a fully concealed aura, but was the same one who killed him in the mortal world!
"To kill is no more than a nod to the ground! You follow me into the Netherworld to scatter my soul, truly too cruel!"
The Grand Hall Master, eyes bulging, couldn’t resist yelling angrily, then wrapping up the eight girl souls, rushed into the forest.
Lu Zheng pursued relentlessly, nearly reaching the forest with the Grand Hall Master when a sudden palpitation struck him. Upon closer look, the mist-covered forest appeared like a prison.
"Is this... an array?"
The next moment, the Grand Hall Master had already charged into the forest, then thunderbolts erupted from his body.
Lu Zheng frowned, "Is this the reaction triggered by the residual Thunder Technique on him?"
"Which little ghost dares to break my array?"
A rebuke echoed, followed by a voice filled with relief.
"Hahaha, truly heaven spares me! Hidden scoundrel, failing to stop me entirely, once I return to Qian Jun Cave, would you dare to visit again? Hahaha!"
As the words faded, dense black mist tore open a small gap due to the thunder on the Grand Hall Master, and a white bone skeleton rushed out of the forest.
Lu Zheng observed from afar, witnessing the white bone skeleton crystal-clear like jade but covered in cracks, its aura fluctuating oddly, severely injured.
"Thanks to you little ghost for saving me from peril, as thanks, go die for me!"
Then, the white bone skeleton swung backhand, sending the Grand Hall Master into the forest, Lu Zheng clearly saw the thunder on him extinguished in an instant, and his Divine Soul ghost body, along with the eight girls’, was devoured, scattered.
The white bone skeleton dared not slow down, rushing directly toward Lu Zheng as fast as possible.
"Die, little ghost!"
Merely a humanoid little ghost, whose breath cannot be detected, despite my injuries, easily can be crushed.
Lu Zheng shook his head, looked at the figure soaring from the forest, thinking about how familiar the previous voice seemed.
Since that’s the case...
Lu Zheng flashed a smile, "Qingwei Yu Chen, Taiyi Five Thunders, strike!"
