Chapter 552: Chapter 393: Fengdu City’s “Demon” Legend!
“? ? ?”
Xu Yang felt somewhat inexplicable.
Last time in Fengdu City, he indeed harvested a wave of merit points due to the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman”. However, that was limited to the ghosts who received his “death warrants”. He had no connections with these underworld soldiers, so why were they so afraid of him?
“Ding!”
“Underworld soldiers are frightened, merit points +100.”
“Ding!”
“Underworld soldiers are frightened, merit points +10.”
“Ding…”
A series of system prompts sounded. Xu Yang couldn’t help but ask: “Old sir… why are you afraid of me?”
“Ding!”
“Underworld soldiers are frightened, merit points +100.”
The elderly underworld soldier shivered and quickly shook his head: “Not afraid… We’re not afraid… Celestial Master Xu is so approachable and kind to ghosts; how could we be scared?”
“Wait!”
Xu Yang reacted and wondered: “How do you know I am Celestial Master Xu?”
He only became a Celestial Master after returning from Fengdu City last time.
Moreover…
This is the Underworld Palace!
Fengdu City!
Even if he has inherited the position of Celestial Master… could this reputation have spread to Fengdu City?
The old underworld soldier saw Xu Yang’s contemplative expression and felt a touch of panic in his eyes… In Fengdu City, there are countless legends about Celestial Master Xu. Ranging from the Northwest Hammer King to the Soul-binding Demon!
It is said that he is a psychopath who likes to torment ghosts.
The ghosts who received his “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” would be tormented by “Celestial Master Xu” every few days. Even some of the handsome ghosts were xxxed by “Celestial Master Xu”!
This is not a fabricated story!
Some ghosts claim to have witnessed “Celestial Master Xu” carrying a large iron hammer in one hand and holding his pants in the other as he walked out of a ghost’s house…
There was also a female ghost who couldn’t withstand the torment of “Celestial Master Xu”. She became insane and mentally unstable, ultimately committing suicide on the streets of Fengdu City.
These “evil deeds” were actually done by Lord Cui personally, or by experts he arranged… Xu Yang himself was unaware!
With a puzzled face, he stepped into Fengdu City.
Niu Mang was as curious as Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden, looking around with a fascinated expression. Chris Smith, however, stayed close to Xu Yang and Niu Mang’s side, not even daring to breathe loudly!
“Is this the legendary Fengdu City, the great city of the Underworld Emperor?”
Niu Mang couldn’t help but exclaim: “Such a huge city, such an impressive city… this Fengdu City is probably larger than an entire province in the mortal world!”
“It’s not just one province!”
Xu Yang said: “Fengdu City has four cities, east, west, south, and north, with the Underworld at its center. It is so vast that even a small country like Paocai Kingdom is smaller… Moreover, Fengdu City also has underground dungeons, as well as various exotic spaces. The legendary eighteen layers of hell are also built under the Underworld Palace… If you really want to measure it, one Fengdu City is even bigger than Earth itself!”
Niu Mang’s eyes widened, his mouth shaped like an “O”.
Xu Yang smiled again and said: “Come on, I’ll take you guys to eat… This Fengdu City is the most prosperous city in the Underworld Palace, with numerous restaurants and various delicious cuisines that you can’t find in the mortal world.”
Leading Niu Mang and Chris, Xu Yang entered a restaurant.
He carelessly placed a large denomination netherworld currency bill on the table. The waiter’s eyes lit up, and he immediately led Xu Yang to the best private room on the second floor of the restaurant.
This private room had a perfect view of the first floor hall.
At this moment, a storyteller in the first-floor hall was telling a story.
The storyteller took a sip of tea, hit the wooden clapper, and said, “Guess what happened then… Hehe, that Northwest Hammer King, holding a 12,000 kg iron hammer, chased the female ghost from the east side of the city to the south, then from the south to the north of the city!”
“Eventually, under broad daylight, he stripped the female ghost’s pants and hammered her like crazy!”
“Hiss!”
A ghost gasped in amazement: “Is it true that he stripped her pants?”
Another ghost yelled: “Of course, it’s true! Everyone is talking about it, nose and eyes, how could it be fake?”
“So, after he took off the female ghost’s pants, what did he use to hammer her?”
“Of course, it was a big iron hammer. What else could it be?”
“But I heard he exposed her in public, * the female ghost… Then the female ghost went mad, became mentally unstable, and finally committed suicide on the street!”
Xu Yang: “…”
In the first-floor hall, a ghost asked suspiciously: “Isn’t the Northwest Hammer King a mortal world Daoist Celestial Master? How could he become a ghost as a Celestial Master?”
“Heh!”
The storyteller slapped the table and said: “Ladies and gentlemen, you may not know that the Northwest Hammer King is a psychopath, not to be understood by common sense. It is said that in his harem, there are sixty or seventy female ghosts alone, as well as various rabbit spirits, cat spirits, flood dragons, zombies, and even cow spirits.”
Xu Yang: “…”
Hearing the word “cow spirit,” Xu Yang glanced unconsciously at Niu Mang.
Niu Mang: “…”
Chris’ gaze wandered between Xu Yang and Niu Mang, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
“What the fuck!”
Niu Mang stood up abruptly, grabbed Chris’s head, and slammed it into the vegetable bowl. He angrily said: “You bastard, what kind of look is that? My relationship with the master is innocent! I am just his mount, and he only rides me occasionally!”
Chris pleaded for mercy.
Niu Mang continued to hold him down, and they started fighting, with Chris crying out in pain.
Luckily, the private room upstairs had a soundproofing method. Otherwise, the commotion would have attracted the attention of other ghosts outside.
Xu Yang did not stop Niu Mang.
At this moment, he felt as if a buzzing sound filled his brain, like a swarm of bees flying around.
Listening to the conversation on the first floor of the restaurant, his mind went blank. Three questions about life arose in his mind-
Who am I?
Where am I?
What the hell is going on here?
I, Xu Yang, just got a “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” in Fengdu City… how did it escalate to this situation?
Lord Cui!
Upon regaining his composure, Xu Yang immediately realizes that the instigator behind all this… must be Lord Cui!
Before leaving Fengdu City and returning to the mortal world, he had asked Lord Cui to scare those unfortunate souls who had been selected by him to receive the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman”… And Lord Cui did exactly that!
Upon returning to the mortal world, he was constantly receiving “merit points” and various “divine power +1,” which allowed him to quickly master so many divine powers.
At the time, Xu Yang had wondered…
What exactly did Lord Cui do to make those ghosts so afraid?
In his heart, he even…
Felt grateful to Lord Cui, planning to wholeheartedly thank him in the future when he had the chance!
But now…
Xu Yang clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, slammed the table, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, angrily saying, “Lord Cui… I fuck your mother!”
Just then, a sudden commotion came from outside the restaurant.
“Ding!”
“A ghost was frightened, merit points +100.”
“Ding!”
“A ghost was frightened, merit points +1000, swordsmanship +1.”
“Ding…”
Along with the commotion, Xu Yang discovered that the system prompt in his mind suddenly went on endlessly.
Xu Yang was puzzled and peeked outside, only to hear a ghost shouting in the first-floor hall, “Everyone, hurry and see, the demonic Northwest Hammer King is out again…”
Xu Yang: “???”
He and Niu Mang exchanged glances and immediately got up, put down their wine glasses, and walked outside the restaurant.
As he stepped out of the private room, the muscles on Xu Yang’s face twisted, transforming into another appearance.
Coming outside the restaurant, following the gaze of the crowd of ghosts, Xu Yang saw…
A man dressed in a Daoist Robe, looking exactly like himself, holding a large iron hammer, madly chasing a female ghost. The female ghost was in the realm of “Soul Differentiation, Manifest Form and Possession,” with strength comparable to a Daoist Refining Deity and the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Yet at this moment, she was so terrified that her beautiful face turned pale, and she kept screaming and begging for mercy while running away.
“Spare my life!”
“Celestial Master Xu, spare my life…”
“Hahahaha!”
The “Xu Yang” with the big iron hammer had a crazy look on his face and sneered, “Madam, didn’t you have quite a temper back in the day?”
“If you had surrendered earlier, would we still be in this mess now?”
“Now you’re begging for mercy… it’s too late!”
As one of the unfortunate ghosts who received the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman,” the female ghost had endured a great deal of torment during this period.
She knew how powerful “Northwest Hammer King” was and that she couldn’t resist him. And she couldn’t escape either… So she gritted her teeth, stopped running, and looked at “Xu Yang” with tender affection, saying, “Celestial Master Xu… I realize my mistake. I am willing to fulfill all your requests.”
“…….”
The “Xu Yang” who had been chasing her froze for about half a second.
And then he raised his big iron hammer and smashed it down on her head!
Bang!
The female ghost burst into a ball of Yin energy under one strike.
“Xu Yang” didn’t pursue her. Instead, he sneered and stood next to her as the ball of Yin energy reconstituted itself into the form of a female ghost.
It was then that “Xu Yang” coldly said, “You mongrel, with your beauty, you tried to seduce me? Well, let me tell you the truth… I prefer male ghosts!”
“Aaaaaah!!!”
The female ghost screamed and turned to run away again!
“Xu Yang” laughed loudly and chased after her.
Xu Yang was left at the door of the restaurant with a pitch-black face.
That “Xu Yang” who chased the female ghost out suddenly made a turn in midair and swooshed back to the entrance of the restaurant.
At the entrance of the restaurant, many ghosts were scared and fled to the sides while only Xu Yang, Niu Mang, and Chris Smith remained standing there.
“Xu Yang” said to Xu Yang, “You’re here?”
Xu Yang, with his changed appearance, nodded with a dark face.
The “Xu Yang” holding the big iron hammer was surprised by Xu Yang’s angry face and immediately exploded into a ball of Yin energy, disappearing into the street.
…
Fengdu City.
Underworld, back courtyard of the residence.
Lord Cui, dressed in a bright red Judge uniform and slouching lazily under a pavilion, watched a few beautiful female ghosts dancing, looking very content.
“This is so great!”
“No wonder Xu… Xu Yang likes doing this in the mortal world… It turns out that doing this can release the pent-up negative emotions deep within a person and effectively relieve them!”
What kind of person is Lord Cui?
With his main body in the Underworld, it was easy for him to manifest an avatar to go out and play and fulfill Xu Yang’s request.
Suddenly.
Lord Cui’s face changed slightly, and he sat up abruptly.
“Xu Yang?”
“He’s in Fengdu City… huh? His expression doesn’t seem very happy?”
Lord Cui’s face changed drastically!
