Xu Yang thought of the wisp of gray mist that flew away from the sky and asked, “Mengxi, did you notice anything unusual when you killed him?”
“No!”
Yun Mengxi shook her head and said, “I killed him too quickly and didn’t pay much attention.”
Xu Yang: ”???? ”
Alright.
That unlucky thing entered the room and was indeed quickly killed.
Xu Yang could almost be sure that this matter must be related to the so-called “Xuanshan Temple Grandmaster.”
Thinking about the situation at the “Silver City Institute of Technology,” Xu Yang faintly felt that the “Xuanshan Temple Grandmaster” might not be human!
Liu Shishi’s corpse bones were still in the hands of that group of “tomb robbers.” Xu Yang asked, “Are there any other members’ locations in the old man’s memory?”
“Yes!”
Yun Mengxi said, “They live in Lintong Yue Chun Hot Springs Hotel.”
Xu Yang knew Lintong was a county under the jurisdiction of “Changan City,” about 30 kilometers away from the urban area and about 120 kilometers away from Zhouzhi County. It was known as the “Da Xia Hot Spring Capital.”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and the Terracotta Warriors were in Lintong.
Located about 5 kilometers east of Li Mountain.
And Liu Shishi also said that her tomb was buried at the foot of a mountain near Li Mountain, so it was normal for the group of “tomb robbers” to stay in Lintong.
“Let’s go!”
“We’re going to Lintong!”
Xu Yang immediately stood up and headed for Lintong. As soon as he left the room, Zhou Jie and the Spirits Management Bureau arrived.
Looking at the woman’s body outside, Zhou Jie’s eyes flickered, and he asked, “Master Xu, did you just kill this person?”
“Yeah.”
Xu Yang told the truth, “From her death to now, it should have been about 15 minutes.”
“Strange!”
Zhou Jie squatted next to the body, looked carefully, and said, “How come this corpse began to rot so quickly?”
Xu Yang stepped forward and saw the truth.
The woman’s corpse had begun to rot, and some pus sores had grown on her skin. The stinking pus seeped out, very disgusting. It didn’t seem like she had been dead for 15 minutes; it was more like 15 days.
And the degree of rot was worsening visibly.
Xu Yang moved and brought the two corpses from the room outside, throwing them into the sunlight.
As expected, the young man’s body immediately changed when exposed to the sun; it showed signs of decay in just a few minutes.
About fifteen minutes later, pus sores appeared on his body, and the degree of decay was the same as that of the woman’s corpse. The old man’s corpse, however, was normal.
Zhou Jie’s face was solemn, and he said, “Unusual events must be caused by monsters… Master Xu, you are a Daoist cultivator and an expert in this field, and you killed these people. Do you know the reason?”
By the rules.
When martial artists kill people in public, even if they don’t hurt ordinary people, the Spiritual Management Bureau will still take them in for questioning.
But Xu Yang had a special relationship with the Spiritual Management Bureau and was considered one of them. Furthermore, almost all the guests in this inn were martial artists, so Zhou Jie didn’t bother with formalities.
Staff members were dealing with the bodies, and their identities were quickly determined based on the database.
According to the investigation, they were not from Shanxi Province, but wandering martial artists from other regions who had committed murder… These murders were not related to martial world grudges, but meant that they had killed ordinary people for wealth or other reasons, and they were on the Spiritual Management Bureau’s wanted list.
The bodies were quickly taken away.
Zhou Jie and Xu Yang entered the room.
After all, Zhou Jie was a peak martial grandmaster with the Unity of Heaven and Man. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately sensed something unusual. The rich Yin energy and evil aura made even Zhou Jie feel a little frightened.
He glanced at the stone coffin on the ground.
At this moment, Yun Mengxi, Yue Yukio, and Yang Yin were all inside the stone coffin.
Zhou Jie was also aware of the several female ghosts and a zombie around Xu Yang. He didn’t ask further but inquired about the reasons for Xu Yang’s conflict with the three deceased people.
Xu Yang told the truth: “They dug up my friend’s corpse bones, captured my friend, injured one of my employees, and followed us all the way here… I had no choice but to fight them.”
Without mentioning the details, Xu Yang said, “Director Zhou, when I fought with them, I heard them mention the Grandmaster of Xuan Mountain Temple… Do you know where this Xuan Mountain Temple is?”
“Xuan Mountain Temple?”
Zhou Jie thought for a moment and shook his head, “I’ve never heard of it. But there is a Xuan Mountain Temple in the Qinling Mountains, which was abandoned decades ago on a steep mountain peak.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang’s eyes flickered and he continued, “The two rotting corpses had a wisp of special gray mist attached to them. They claimed that it was a protective divine power bestowed by the Grandmaster of Xuan Mountain Temple. I have seen the same gray mist on a Yin deity at Silver City Institute of Technology.”
“What?”
Zhou Jie’s face changed dramatically.
He had heard about the incident at Silver City Institute of Technology. A City God Temple site had turned into an immoral shrine where the City God and various Yin spirits had all become evil gods. Even Wang Hou had personally inspected it and said that the trouble there could not be resolved for the time being!
Now, a trace of a “Yin deity” had appeared in the territory of “Shanxi Province” under his jurisdiction. The severity of the situation could be imagined.
He paced back and forth in the room for a long time before stopping and asking, “Master Xu, can you be sure it’s a Yin deity?”
“Eight or nine out of ten.”
Xu Yang said, “Their minds were a bit abnormal at the time, perhaps due to the influence of the Yin deity’s breath. They have several accomplices who live in a hotel in Lintong County. Director Zhou, time is of the essence. You should send someone to Xuan Mountain Temple to investigate and see if that Xuan Mountain Temple is really Xuan Mountain Temple!”
“I’m going to Lintong. If I can capture those people, I might be able to find some clues.”
He paused and continued, “Now that the Daoist Conference is being held, and experts from various Daoist sects have gathered in Zhouzhi County, if it is really a Yin deity causing trouble, we might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to find a way to deal with it!”
“Alright!”
“Keep in touch by phone!”
Zhou Jie hurriedly left with his men.
Xu Yang then patted the stone coffin.
The coffin lid opened, and Yun Mengxi, Yue Yukio, and Yang Yin all flew out together.
Yang Yin was injured and her aura weakened, so Xu Yang let her stay behind to guard… Of course, this was mainly due to Yang Yin’s combat abilities. She wasn’t even at the level of a Red Robe, and it was broad daylight, so she wouldn’t be very effective in battle.
Xu Yang went out with Yun Mengxi and Yue Yukio.
“Husband, aren’t we driving?”
Yue Yuluo was a bit puzzled.
Xu Yang’s car was parked in the guesthouse’s parking lot.
Xu Yang shook his head and said, ” I’m not familiar with the roads here, so driving would be a hassle… Let’s take a taxi instead. On the way, I can also cultivate for a while and enhance my strength.”
Outside the guesthouse, Xu Yang flagged down a private car.
When the driver heard they were going to Lintong, he said he was working an extra shift while on duty and still had to pick up his child from kindergarten later. Xu Yang didn’t bother to engage in small talk, and directly got in the car, pulling out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, saying, “Master, please help me, I have an urgent matter!”
The driver immediately replied earnestly, “Is it a big deal? If you’re really in a hurry, I don’t mind speeding a bit… Alright, sit tight. We’ll set off right away!”
With a step on the gas, he managed to start the second-hand Buick with a strong feeling of acceleration!
On the passenger seat,
Xu Yang silently opened the system attribute panel.
[Name]:Xu Yang
[Age]:22
[Daoist Arts]:Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]:Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill, Wulei Rules, Paper Cutting Skill
[Martial Arts]:Land Flight Skill
[Cultivation]:Qi Refining Realm Level 9
[Daoist Artifact]:Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist Artifact)
[Merit Points]: 5880 points
[Storage Space]:io cubic yards
Before coming to the “Daoist Skill Conference,” Xu Yang had worked hard to improve his Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill, and Wulei Rules, leaving him with only 1080 merit points.
However, after telling Yun Mengxi ghost stories for two hours last night, his merit points had risen back to over 5000.
It had to be said…
Earning merit points was really easy!
“It’s a pity… there’s not much time now, otherwise I could tell Yun Mengxi a few more ghost stories and earn another wave of merit points,” thought Xu Yang. “With so many merit points, I could raise my cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm Level 9 with some to spare… However, my current strength won’t improve much just by enhancing my cultivation unless I break through to the Entering Dao Realm.”
He recalled the situation when the “gray mist” was hit by “Wulei Rules.”
Obviously,
Wulei Rules were very effective against this gray mist.
And it made sense.
Although the “Yin deity” was a “righteous deity” sealed by the Heaven and Earth, when it transformed into an “immoral shrine” and turned into a “wicked deity,” it was no longer acknowledged by the Heaven and Earth and became indistinguishable from evil spirits, demons, and monsters.
On the other hand, thunder rules belonged to yang, with extreme power and extreme yang, with the greatest ability to restrain yin and evil!
“Therefore, I just need to improve my Wulei Rules now!”
“The stronger my Wulei Rules are, the greater the threat they pose to the Yin deity… Also, even when fighting against martial artists, Wulei Rules have a natural advantage. Firstly, they allow long-range attacks, releasing thunder at will, and secondly, regular martial artists wouldn’t even stand a chance to dodge their attacks due to their speed!”
Xu Yang made up his mind.
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -500, Wulei Rules +1.”
He had already consumed quite a few merit points on Wulei Rules, and his accomplishments were already profound. Even the rules of thunder cast by Lin Chaosheng, the Entering Dao Realm grandmaster from the Lu Shan Sect, were comparable to Xu Yang’s.
At this moment, as Xu Yang improved his Wulei Rules again, he sensed a surge of innate Qi brewing inside his internal organs, which then transformed into a strand of thunderous power.
He could vaguely feel that his mastery of Wulei Rules had deepened a bit, as if he had been cultivating Wulei Rules for a very long time.
“Ding!”
“The female ghost was scared, Merit Points +50, Paper Cutting Skill +1.”
Meanwhile,
Yue Yuluo, who was seated in the back of the car, shivered and glanced at Xu Yang in the passenger seat. She sensed a strange aura around him that made her feel frightened deep inside and whispered to Yun Mengxi, “Sister Mengxi… What’s happened to our husband?”
Yun Mengxi also noticed something different. She stretched out her fingertip and gently touched Xu Yang’s body.
ZiLa!
Immediately, an electric current spread throughout Yun Mengxi’s body.
“Ding!”
“The zombie was scared, Merit Points +100, Physique +1.”
She jumped in surprise and exclaimed, “Such a strong thunder technique… Yuluo, don’t speak. Your man is cultivating his thunder technique!”
Xu Yang ignored the girls and his thoughts swirled around.
“Merit Points -500, Wulei Rules +1.”
“Merit Points -500, Wulei Rules +1.”
“Merit Points -500, Wulei Rules +1.”
“Merit Points -500, Wulei Rules +1.”
He improved his Wulei Rules four more times in a row, and suddenly inspiration hit. An epiphany arose in his mind, and he murmured, “Thunder… Thunder moves with the wind and startles the hibernating. Heaven opens, and the earth is formed, giving rise to the great Pangu.”
“It turns out that thunder doesn’t just represent destruction, but also rebirth. As they say, a single spring thunder brings life to everything… Thunder represents rejuvenation and creativity, capable of subduing demons and monsters as well as praying for rain, and alleviating droughts and floods…”
Xu Yang slowly closed his eyes.
An elusive aura of Dao emerged from his body!
