Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

"It seems that after I injured Feng Changxi last time, they sensed the danger and sped up their pace, intending to use other methods to lure out the Azure Dragon ahead of time."

Almost instantly, Chen Yushu understood.

This is because the Earth God Xu Qing and Feng Changxi sensed his threat. They knew that if he interfered, their years of planning would be in vain.

That's when they came up with the idea of ​​using this method to pollute the waters of Dragonfall Abyss and lure the Azure Dragon out.

After all, dragons are known for their fastidiousness and have extremely high requirements for their environment.

It is absolutely intolerable to have a polluted living environment.

And this provided them with an opportunity.

An opportunity to steal the dragon eggs.

"not good!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yushu seemed to remember something, and in a flash, he disappeared.

appearing again.

Chen Yushu had already arrived outside the temple of the Earth God.

At this moment, the temple of the Earth God had not changed much in appearance. The power of faith was strong. In his eyes, it was as if a red crown was covering the entire temple, slowly rotating to form a vortex.

Faith in red light.

Moreover, the surrounding red light of faith was almost outwardly visible, truly extremely strong.

But this is normal.

With the City God not daring to show himself, the Earth God naturally became more prominent, attracting more and more believers.

Over the years, the accumulated red light of faith has indeed become quite terrifying, resembling a red cloud covering the sky, an extremely auspicious sign.

In this kind of environment, if a battle were to break out, it is estimated that the Earth God Xu Qing would be able to unleash power at least one or two levels higher than his own.

In other words, with its mid-stage level of the Demonic Rank, it can at least unleash power comparable to the late-stage or peak level of the Demonic Rank.

It even touches on the level of disaster.

But at this moment.

The entire earth god temple was not entirely empty, but it was truly devoid of any deity.

Even the little devils who served him were gone.

With Chen Yushu using his aura-gazing technique, only a few odd-job workers and fanatical believers who prayed year-round remained inside the entire local temple.

Neither the local earth god Xu Qing nor the temple keeper Feng Changxi, whose strength had reached the level of entering the Dao Night Wandering realm, were present.

"Sure enough, their operation was brought forward."

Chen Yushu understood almost instantly.

at the same time.

Chen Yushu suddenly sensed a slight movement in his soul, and another telepathic message followed.

"Owner.

We discovered that the Earth God Xu Qing and his companions went out one after another after nightfall, and we don't yet know which direction they went.

Zhuge Xun's voice then came over.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu nodded, becoming even more convinced of this.

Then, a thought struck him, and his gaze fell in the direction of the Zhenyin Division.

"really.

Chen He must have also received the news and was starting to get restless.

As Chen Yushu pondered this, he saw from afar that someone from the Zhenyin Division was rushing towards his home. Knowing that Chen He had sent someone to inform him, he abandoned his plan to wander at night. With a thought, he quickly turned back to where his physical body was.

soon.

Chen Yushu slowly opened his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He needs to prepare for the worst.

Since Xu Qing and Feng Changxi have already taken action and should be heading directly towards the Fallen Dragon Abyss, it's clear that the Azure Dragon has succumbed to the illusion's interference and left...

At least, they left in the short term.

This is the best time for them to steal the eggs.

However, this also fueled the Azure Dragon's already pent-up anger, which only intensified his fury upon returning to find the dragon eggs gone.

Then the damage it causes will be even greater.

Jianghuan Town is the first to be affected!

"My master is alright, at least he still has martial arts skills."

But my parents were completely defenseless…

Chen Yushu's expression turned serious.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Previously, he had already instructed the Liu family pharmacy to send someone to pick up his parents.

Two or three days have passed, but the parents have still not been seen, which means something must have happened.

Previously, he wasn't in a hurry.

After all, according to his estimation, destroying the formation would at least delay the situation for ten to fifteen days.

During this period, Jianghuan Town was safe.

Who knew that because of him, the Earth God Xu Qing and Feng Changxi suddenly became anxious and actually did something evil, directly using human blood to attract the Azure Dragon.

Boom boom boom!
And it was at this very moment.

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Yushu knew that the people from the Zhenyin Division had arrived.

He then calmly got up and walked out of the room. When he saw the servant Xiaoyun also hurriedly getting up, he simply said, "You don't need to get up."

After saying that, he walked directly towards the gate.

Xiao Hong followed closely behind, waving and laughing at Xiao Yun.

Because of what happened last time, Xiaoyun actually knew about Xiaohong's existence, and the two had contact in private, and even chatted together occasionally.

Xiaoyun gradually lost her fear and also learned that Xiaohong was Chen Yushu's ghost and would never harm anyone.

……

Open the door.

Sure enough, a middle-aged cultivator was standing outside the door. He was Xu Zhen, one of the members of the Zhenyin Division who had come with Chen He earlier.

"Senior Chen, the situation has changed."

The Earth God Xu Qing acted ahead of schedule.

Upon seeing Chen Yushu, Xu Zheng quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Oh?"

Chen Yushu asked a question, feigning confusion.

"Yes, according to the information we received, it should have used a blood sacrifice method."

This is the way of evil gods. As spirits and deities, using the way of evil gods is something that our Zhenyin Division cannot tolerate.

Therefore, our Commander Chen He immediately summoned us and we set off together to capture the evil god.

However, the evil god is powerful, and according to our knowledge, there is also a powerful being who appears to be a Daoist Night Wanderer by its side, making it difficult to deal with.

That's why the commander sent me here to invite the senior to go together to capture the evil god.

If successful, the Zhenyin Division will surely reward you with at least five great merits.

Xu Zhen nodded first, then said in a serious tone.

"Oh?

I have no hesitation in capturing the evil god.

Lead the way!

Chen Yushu raised an eyebrow, knowing that although the other party's words sounded grand, they were indeed a very legitimate reason to use.

The local earth god Xu Qing abandoned his proper duties of bestowing titles upon gods and spirits, instead killing over a hundred believers to obtain their heart's blood. This was indeed the act of an evil god, and when the Zhenyin Division discovered it, they naturally had to arrest and execute him.

This applies to any underworld office, regardless of its location.

Once such a thing happens, it will be considered a great achievement after it is reported. Being able to kill and resolve the matter will naturally bring rewards.

A solid foundation is essential.

Chen He generously promised Chen Yushu five major merits right off the bat.

It's worth noting that his previous killings of members of the Evil God Cult and slaying of several divine spirits only amounted to five major merits. However, considering the risks of this journey, including the possibility of facing a divine dragon directly, these five merits seem insignificant.

However, Chen Yushu did not have many thoughts of upholding justice on this trip.

Most importantly, it is to ensure the safety of one's parents, relatives, and mentor.

"Excellent! Senior, you are truly virtuous."

"The comrade-in-chief is already waiting at the ferry. This time we'll take a fast boat and must get there as quickly as possible to stop them from committing their crimes."

Xu Zhen nodded quickly, then led Chen Yushu and hurried toward the ferry.

The reason for going to the ferry crossing instead of the dock is that the ferry crossing is closer and mostly berths small boats, making it easier to travel.

Chen Yushu did not hesitate and followed immediately.

After a stick of incense had burned, he and the other person appeared at a slightly spacious river mouth.

And in the middle of the river mouth, stood a group of people and a group of ghosts...

Leading the group was Chen He, the chief commander of the Zhenyin Division.

Besides him, there were two skilled members of the Zhenyin Division and a cultivator with a powerful aura.

A major Yin-Yang journey at the entry level.

If he wasn't mistaken, this person should be Qian Wang, another cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage in Qinghe County besides himself and Chen He.

However, it was not him who truly caught Chen Yushu's attention.

Instead, there were several deities and spirits standing to the side.

The leader among them possessed a powerful and imposing aura, almost as strong as the King of Yelang among his spirit companions.

The other two are also at the level of the "Spirit" (祟).

Although he was only at the early stage of the Demon level, he could still be considered a strong person.

“Fellow Daoist, Spirit Communicator.”

Let me introduce it to you.

This one is Qian Wang, another cultivator from our Qinghe County who has entered the Dao and exited the Nascent Soul stage.

When Chen He saw Chen Yushu, he quickly came forward and first pointed to the old man next to him, explaining.

"Qian had long heard that another cultivator who had entered the Dao and left the body had appeared in our Qinghe County, and he was greatly excited."

I had originally intended to visit him, but I was injured in Zhou County and had to recuperate for a while, which delayed my visit.

Now that I see you, fellow Daoist, you are indeed extraordinary."

Qian Wang looked at Chen Yushu and said politely.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, you're too kind."

Actually, I should be the one visiting my fellow Daoists.

"It's just that I've been having some problems with my cultivation lately, which is why I haven't been able to go."

Chen Yushu also politely replied.

Both of them were just being polite.

One said he was injured, while the other said he had been delayed by his cultivation.

As for whether he was injured, whether his cultivation had been delayed, and whether he was sincere, only he himself knows.

As long as everyone can save face, that's fine.

"This is Zhou Jin, the City God, who is the strongest deity in our Qinghe County."

Then, Chen He spoke again, pointing to the leader of the Fengshen Ghost Spirits standing to the side.

"I have long admired my name."

Chen Yushu's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands in greeting.

He had already guessed that the late-stage Demon-level ghost spirit possessed such a powerful aura.

This was only confirmed by Chen He's words.

Deep down, however, he knew that it was perfectly normal for Chen He to join forces with the other party.

Xu Qing, the Earth God, actually surpasses Zhou Jin in absolute strength because of the presence of a Daoist cultivator like Feng Changxi, who is at the Night Wanderer Realm.

There is even a possibility that they ambushed and killed Zhou Jin when he was away.

It failed, but it was frightened so much that it hid in its own temple and dared not come out.

Perhaps that's why they discovered Xu Qing and the others' scheme regarding the dragon egg.

Now that Xu Qing and his group have set off, it naturally can't sit still any longer.

As for the two ghost spirits beside it, one of them is the God-Sealing Ghost Spirit, Jiang Shen Liu Kong. In the God-Sealing of Qinghe Town, he is among the top three. Although his strength is at the early stage of the Ghost level, he has already reached the peak of the early stage of the Ghost level and can break through to the middle stage of the Ghost level at any time.

Another one is Hongxi, the Night Wanderer, who is generally responsible for maintaining public order in Qinghe County and preventing the invasion of ghosts and gods.

At least, the fact that no evil spirits can freely enter Qinghe County is thanks to him.

Even when Chen Yushu went out at night, he would occasionally run into him.

However, he had already cultivated his Hidden Fragrance Technique to perfection, so even it couldn't detect it.

"Alright, let's get on the boat first."

I have already reported this matter to the Zhenyin Division of Tianling County. The Commander of the Zhenyin Division has given instructions to stop the evil god Xu Qing and prevent him from continuing to do evil.

If all else fails, we can only try our best to minimize the spread of the disaster.

And once it's done, everyone in our line of work will receive a major reward.

After Chen He finished speaking, he took the lead and boarded the small boat next to him.

Although it's called a small boat, it's actually quite big; it can accommodate about ten people.

Their group consisted of five people plus three spirits and deities.

Three of the deified spirits can fly in the void on their own and do not need to occupy space, so the space still seems spacious.

"and many more.

"There are still some who haven't arrived."

Chen Yushu said it in one sentence.

Then the group turned around and were shocked to see two ghostly spirits rushing towards them.

"A supernatural ghost spirit."

two?

"It's Zhuge Xun, and who's the other one?"

Among them, the river god Liu Kong looked at it with surprise.

"The newly promoted General, Zhu Jiuzhi."

Hong Xi, the Night Wanderer, quickly spoke up.

As a night-wandering god, he naturally knew Zhu Jiuzhi and had met him several times.

What surprised it was the aura emanating from Zhu Jiuzhi.

If it remembered correctly, Zhu Jiuzhi should only be a ghost spirit at the peak of the evil spirit level, right? It was only because of good luck and following the right person that he was able to obtain the title of general who was deified.

So now, it has already reached the level of the Demon?

Of course, upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

The peak of the evil spirit is only one step away from the level of the monstrous.

Given the abundant red light of faith within the General of Gods, achieving a breakthrough is quite normal.

"Zhu Jiuzhi greets his master."

"Zhuge Xun greets his master."

Upon arriving, the two immediately bowed to Chen Yushu.

As soon as these words came out.

Whether they were other cultivators or spirits of gods and demons, all of them showed expressions of shock.

Owner?

In other words.

Have these two evil spirits recognized Chen Yushu as their master?

Even though they had suspected it beforehand, they were still shocked when they actually saw it.

After all, this is not an ordinary evil spirit, but two deities who have been granted divine status.

Without sufficient means, how could this be accomplished? (End of Chapter)
