Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 222 The White Bone Demon's "Goodwill"

In less than half a day, Yun Yang returned to the Daluo Palace with a dead tiger.

"A tiger demon who cultivated in the deep mountains, once he succeeded, came out and acted recklessly. He thought he could do whatever he wanted after eating a few people." Yun Yang snorted, holding the tiger corpse that was even larger than an ordinary tiger in his hand. "Now I'm done with it."

Gu Zhao circled the tiger twice. "No wounds, right?"

"Don't worry, I was very careful," Yun Yang said with a smile. "I didn't even use my sword; I just slapped the tiger's soul away."

Gu Zhao gave a thumbs up, "Give it to Li Erping. He's a hunter in the village and knows how to process furs."

Yun Yang nodded. "I'll use the tiger meat to supplement the palace's meals, and I'll put the tiger bones in the warehouse. I'll make some wine with them later, and I'll take a portion too."

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle and Auntie will definitely get their share."

The modern Taoist priests are fighting desperately in another world, so Gu Zhao naturally has to ensure their logistical support.

Yunyang's parents had already started wearing golden bracelets and drinking lemon wine. The other Taoist priests with relatives and children were doing the same, treating illnesses and strengthening their bodies, while also ensuring their safety and preventing accidents.

Yun Yang carried the dead tiger to find Li Erping, while Hu Yufei stayed behind with the girl.

"Sect Leader, my sister and I also want to join the Great Luo Palace."

Joining the Great Luo Palace is a serious matter. Hu Yufei didn't joke around. Pointing at the girl, she said, "Her name is He Cailian. She is also a Spirit Lord. Although her cultivation is not high, she has a keen sense of smell and is good at collecting and refining herbs. She can assist Uncle Ming Chong."

The embroiderer sized up He Cailian from behind Gu Zhao, never expecting that this rabbit spirit was actually from the same clan as her.

The Great Luo Palace is now on the right track, and it is not easy for ordinary people or even martial arts masters to join. However, it is naturally different for extraordinary people, but the necessary tests and vetting still need to be done.

Gu Zhao nodded, "Let's start as a nominal disciple and serve in the Alchemy Hall. Let Uncle Ming Chong mentor you."

"Okay!" Hu Yufei nodded repeatedly in agreement.

He Cailian also gave a graceful bow, and then carefully followed Hu Yufei towards the alchemy hall on the back mountain.

……

In the days that followed, the Daluo Palace continued to operate normally. Apart from serving as a tool for the interdimensional gate, Gu Zhao spent his time either in the modern world with Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi or in the other world with Zhuo Qingyan studying the "Dongzhen Huanglu".

Gu Zhao didn't take any of the Wenhuang Dan herself, but she still used up four of them.

Gu Qi could accept that his parents seemed to have become more than ten years younger, but Li Man's favorite thing to do now was to drag her best friends out shopping and enjoy their envious and jealous looks.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi were the same. Although the yellow lemon wine was effective, it was a bit slow to take effect. However, after taking one Wenhuangdan pill, their skin seemed to become so tender that it was almost dripping with moisture, which Gu Zhao also enjoyed.

But while the Daluo Palace was on track, the atmosphere in the White Bone Cave was not good.

"Has the Yellow Heaven Altar of Baishi Mansion been transformed into the Great Luo Temple?"

Inside the Cave of White Bones, eerie green flames flickered, and a chilling wind blew. The flickering lights cast shimmering shadows that appeared ghostly in the dim light.

Lady White Bone sat in the hall, listening to a report from a maid in a green dress.

“This servant went to Baishi Mansion to search for Yangsheng boys. I happened to pass by Baishi Mansion and wanted to ask Huangtiantan if they had any in stock, but I found that Huangtiantan had changed its gate and become Daluo Temple.”

The maid knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "This servant dared not come to the door, so I inquired among the mortals nearby and learned that a battle took place at Huangtian Altar half a month ago. The next day, the prefect ordered Huangtian Altar to change hands and be rebuilt as Daluo Temple. The current abbot of Daluo Temple is a Taoist priest named Daoist Yanling. I heard he is eighty or ninety years old, but his specific level of cultivation is unknown. In addition to some mortals remaining in the temple, there are a few unfamiliar faces. They are said to be disciples of the inner and outer sects of Daluo Palace."

Lady White Bone narrowed her eyes. "Haven't you heard of the Yellow Heaven Ancestor and his wife?"

The maid shook her head. "I haven't heard of it!"

Lady White Bone remained silent, indicating that they had not heard of it, which naturally meant that they had not participated in the battle that night.

However, it's understandable. Madam Huang came to borrow the White Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp not for defense. Now that even the White Stone Mansion's main Huangtian Altar has changed hands, the fate of the couple is predictable.

"I'm afraid my sister has already died in Changping Prefecture."

Lady White Bone, reflecting on her friendship with Lady Yellow, sighed, gently wiping her eyes with her sleeve, denying any tears. "What a pity..."

Lady White Bone shook her head and said softly, "My White Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp!"

The maid knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

Lady White Bone narrowed her eyes slightly, then stood up and paced slowly in the hall. "I'm afraid my White Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp has also fallen into the hands of the Great Luo Palace."

At this point, she looked back into the depths of the Bone Cave, where unstable magical fluctuations still emanated.

Lady White Bone returned to her seat, reached into a skull container on the table beside her, took out three small bone arrows, and handed them to the maid.

“This is the White Bone Soul-Chasing Arrow. Go to the Great Luo Temple and give it to the Abbot of the Yanling Temple. Tell him that the White Bone Cave is willing to be friends with the Great Luo Palace,” said Lady White Bone. “If the Great Luo Palace is also willing to be friends with the White Bone God, then ask them to return the White Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp and send ten boys born in the Yang month, on the Yang day, and at the Yang hour.”

The maid was actually a little guilty.

Because she heard that the Daluo Palace acted differently from Huangtiantan. During the night battle, some people in Huangtiantan surrendered, but they were all killed by the Daluo Palace's sorcerers under the pretext of doing evil.

Huang Tiantan's actions were more drastic than those of the Golden Wind Divine Cult. He frequently abducted children and devoured their souls. The people of Baishi Prefecture knew this, but they simply dared not resist. Now that Huang Tiantan had been destroyed, they no longer needed to endure it.

However, the maid dared not disobey Lady White Bone. Moreover, the White Bone God was a formidable figure in the White Stone Mansion, and his cultivation was even higher than that of the Yellow Heaven Ancestor and his wife, which gave her the confidence to face the Great Luo Palace.

"Yes!" The maid respectfully replied, took the three white bone soul-chasing arrows, and put them into her sleeve. "This servant will go to the Great Luo Temple to deliver the message."

Lady White Bone nodded, thought for a moment, and then added, "If the abbot of the Great Luo Temple doesn't know what's good for him, don't provoke him. Once my husband comes out of seclusion, he will have a plan."

"Yes! This servant wouldn't dare!" the maid hurriedly replied.

……

Carrying three White Bone Soul-Chasing Arrows, the maid in green descended White Bone Mountain and headed towards White Stone Mansion. Soon she arrived at the manor and reached the location of the Great Luo Temple.

At this time, Da Luo Temple was still under renovation, but it was already open to worshippers.

The maid in green slowly stepped into the gate of the Daluo Temple. The first thing she saw was a statue standing at the gate, with feet on wind and fire, three eyes on its eyebrows, and holding a divine whip.

She took a slow breath and looked at a Taoist priest in a blue robe beside her. "Li Cuicui from White Bone Mountain requests an audience with the Abbot of the Daluo Temple."
