I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 594: The Destruction of Du Yu Mountain

A traditional opera performance, began at 1:00 p.m. and continued until late afternoon, culminating with Shen Ying crafting two pink butterflies using Peach Blossom Evil, fluttering freely in a virtual realm constructed within the illusion.

Beside her, Bai Ting'Er played the Butterfly Transformation Chapter from "Liang and Zhu" with the dongxiao.

The combination of the two created an auditory and visual treat, akin to live CGI!

Damn, Lu Zheng was speechless, who said ancient times didn't have high technology?

"How was it?"

Liu Qingyan emerged from backstage, smiling as she approached Lu Zheng.

"It was fantastic!"

Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, "Much better than the Silver Phoenix Troupe's performance!"

"Hee hee! Oh, they're the real professional performers, we're just having fun."

Despite saying that, Liu Qingyan was visibly delighted.

After having their fill of the performance, Bi Xinyu and Hu Cai Niang also came over, "Young Master Lu, the script you wrote makes staging it even more enjoyable."

"Indeed, indeed!" A chorus of banshees and ghost maidens around them agreed, "It's truly a wonderful script."

Lu Zheng, "Haha..."

"Lu Lang's 'A Chinese Ghost Story' is also very touching, but why doesn't this story include lyrics?" Liu Qingyan asked eagerly.

"Some stories are suitable for the stage, but others are better told in narrative." Lu Zheng could only explain, "Of course, if you have the interest, feel free to adapt it yourselves."

Liu Qingyan and the ladies behind her nodded.

They all loved watching operas, and this classic "Liang and Zhu" stirred their desire to perform.

Now having performed, their overwhelming urge to act was satiated, with no immediate desire to rehearse another.

Although "A Chinese Ghost Story" was good, it would be put aside for now.

Liu Qingyan hid her smile behind her hand, "Let's wait for Hongxia to return and have her play Yan Chixia then."

Lu Zheng, "..."

That's always the elephant in the room! This is indeed an old story of mine!

Lu Zheng surveyed the group, sighed, forget it, I'm exhausted, let it be destroyed.

...

After performing a play, night had fallen.

The women from Five Beauties Manor and Bi Xinyu each dispersed, and Lu Zheng called for Old Huang, taking Liu Qingyan and a few others back to Tonglin County by carriage.

In the following days, Liu Qingyan copied several volumes of "A Chinese Ghost Story" from Shen Ying, repeatedly reading them at home.

"Lu Lang's writing is truly wonderful, the stories are excellent, and the poetry is equally captivating. Even just a ghost manor running away with a bride can evoke such powerful emotions."

That evening, Liu Qingyan lay beside Lu Zheng, one person drawing circles with a finger, and the other gently caressing, as they conversed softly.

Lu Zheng, "..."

"Lu Lang, do you have more stories?"

"No more, not a single drop left."

Liu Qingyan's face blushed instantly, quickly changing the topic, "When I visited Taohua Village the day before yesterday, I saw Lu Lang play 'Liang and Zhu' with Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden in duet; a lively bamboo flute rhythm. Later, Tao Qing handed you the dongxiao, why didn't you accept it?"

Good change of topic!

Thus, Lu Zheng explained to Liu Qingyan how to properly play the dongxiao.

"Woo——"

...

"Jade Seal, enhance!"

"Buzz!"

Feeling the comprehensive enhancement of physical fitness and True Qi and Blood Qi, Lu Zheng slightly reduced the guilt of not cultivating properly lately.

He finished the oil tea before him, watched Liu Qingyan head towards Renxin Hall, and leisurely strolled off to Leping Building.

Just as he left Tongyi Lane, Chu Jin descended from the sky, blocking his path.

"Young Master Lu!"

"Lord Chu!"

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, eagerly approaching with a smile to greet, "Is there another vital...case that requires my assistance?"

Chu Jin shook his head with a smile, "Such talent should not be wasted on ordinary cases, we wouldn't usually need Young Master Lu to intervene."

Lu Zheng blinked; indeed, one should not be too forward about such matters, expressing eagerness might invite suspicion.

Slow and steady, occasionally assisting is quite sufficient to make up for usual deficits.

However, if it's not about a case...

"Then why did Lord Chu come looking for me?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"It's about the Northern Domain's Du Yu Mountain affair."

"Du Yu Mountain?" Lu Zheng's gaze shifted, "The Northern Domain Wolf Demon?"

"Correct." Chu Jin nodded, "The day we captured the old Beidao, I sent him to the Northern Huo Mountain Dao's Anomaly Suppression Bureau."

Lu Zheng nodded, this matter had been shared with him by Chu Jin before.

"We gathered substantial information regarding Du Yu Mountain from that old Beidao, later laying a trap to eradicate two more of Du Yu Mountain's four Vajra warriors along with a black wolf."

"Nicely done!" Lu Zheng praised.

"Following this, news of Du Yu Mountain's weakened state spread. We didn't even need to lift a finger; three rival forces from against Du Yu Mountain joined to storm and decisively annihilate it."

"That's great news!" Lu Zheng clapped with laughter, "Is Lord Chu here to share the good news?"

"No." Chu Jin shook his head, "It's quite the opposite, I'm here to remind you to be cautious."

"Huh?" Lu Zheng wore a confused expression, then his demeanor shifted abruptly, exclaiming, "No way?"

Du Yu Mountain's downfall, yet Chu Jin is here to caution him, that could only mean one thing.

"Leng Li didn't perish." Chu Jin stated, "He escaped in a blood escape under multi-directional assault, probably making his way into Great Jing."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "Why is it that any injured bigshot always flees to Great Jing! Isn't Great Jing the strongest? Aren't they afraid of being killed as soon as they cross the border?"

Chu Jin felt awkward, but still explained, "Great Jing is vast, and the Anomaly Suppression Bureau can monitor regions and track targets, yet cannot seal off the tens of thousands of miles of national borders. Whether it's dense forests or state capitals, if the other party is intent on hiding, it's challenging to discover."

Lu Zheng, "..."

"Don't look at me like that. Our Great Jing's evil cultivator demons sometimes escape to the Northern Domain or Southern Border to hide, it's quite similar."

"Alright, alright, carry on."

Chu Jin continued, "During Du Yu Mountain's battle, both of Leng Li's sons perished, and now that he's infiltrated Great Jing, it's assessed that he cannot retaliate northwards soon; instead, he might likely come to Yaozhou to inquire about Leng Jian."

Lu Zheng slapped his forehead, exasperated, "He hasn't learned of Leng Jian's demise yet?"

"It seems uncertain, since the last Tiger Demon and now the Wolf Demon duo eventually didn't return to Du Yu Mountain."

"Alright then..." Lu Zheng nodded, suddenly inquiring, "Did the old Beidao die?"

Chu Jin gave an approving look at Lu Zheng, nodding, "Yes, dead."

Lu Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

"However, Leng Li is brutally fierce with cunning and treacherous mind, far beyond comparison to this old Beidao."

Chu Jin cautioned, "The Huangfu Family may not deceive him, especially with the Tiger Demon, Wolf Demon, and Beidao all missing. He might suspect something is amiss with Huangfu Family."

"Indeed, that's true!"

Lu Zheng frowned, undoubtedly Leng Li wouldn't reveal his presence too early, but if he investigates secretly, much wouldn't really be confidential.
