The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 134: Sequel and Return

The sorcerer who was fighting Chen Xiong was thrown into chaos when he saw Li Zhen kill him so easily. He abandoned Chen Xiong and tried to run away.

A white bone club suddenly appeared under his feet, tripping the panicked sorcerer and giving Chen Xiong a perfect opportunity.

Chen Xiong reacted swiftly and without hesitation, plunged the magic weapon in his hand into the sorcerer's chest.

The sorcerer struggled for a few moments before losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Chen Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.

In terms of magical power alone, he might not be a match for this sorcerer.

The problem is that he is not alone in facing these three sorcerers.

If he were to deal with these three sorcerers all by himself, he would definitely feel overwhelmed.

The last surviving sorcerer was killed by a group of evil spirits, including a red-eyed bat.

From the moment Li Zhen and his group entered the room, within just a few minutes, all three sorcerers had been killed.

Only the banshee, being choked by a vampire, remained, still struggling.

Li Zhen managed to suppress the vampire zombie; otherwise, the vampire zombie would have already torn the banshee to pieces by now.

Arriving before the captured female demon, Li Zhen chanted a few incantations and then used his right index finger to draw a few strokes on the demon's forehead.

The succubus stopped struggling and stared blankly at Li Zhen.

If its original owner were still alive, it would be quite troublesome to forcibly take her away from them.

Now that its original owner is dead, it has become a tool without anyone to control it, so it won't be difficult for Li Zhen to control it.

The method to control the banshee was in Nalong's memories.

Detective Li has already obtained some of the relevant memories.

I just used a spell I remembered to influence the banshee, and judging from the result, the spell was very effective.

Under Li Zhen's control, the vampire released the banshee.

Li Zhen looked the female demon up and down.

This banshee isn't weak. If she were to be fully refined, although she wouldn't be as powerful as a vampire, she would still be a formidable evil being, qualified to be a porter.

However, Li Zhen was extremely disgusted by the strange, foul odor emanating from the other person.

The succubus tilted her head and met Li Zhen's gaze.

Li Zhen extended his right hand and pierced the banshee's brow with his sharp fingernail that had pierced through her glove. He then took a strand of his own hair, burned it to ashes, and placed it on the wound in the banshee's brow, stirring it with his fingernail.

The banshee froze instantly.

At Li Zhen's command, she walked straight up to the vampire.

Li Zhen frowned slightly as he stripped a piece of clothing from the sorcerer and put it on the female demon.

The succubus appeared to obey his commands.

Li Zhen felt as if there was something between the succubus and himself, making it somewhat difficult for him to control her.

Seemingly having discerned something, Chen Xiong said, "Benefactor, you wish to keep this...this thing? Then why not send it to a temple first to cleanse it of its impurities and leave traces with those sorcerers? That way, it will be easier for you to control it later."

Is it because of the influence of those sorcerers mentioned earlier?

Li Zhen looked at Chen Xiong and asked in surprise, "Does your temple offer this kind of service?"

Chen Xiong said with a strange expression, "According to the temple's rules, such evil things are usually dealt with. However, since it belongs to you, benefactor... you have helped the abbot so much, the temple will definitely help you as well."

Li Zhen nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Temple."

He turned to look at Wong Kam-sing: "Bobby, you and Master Katie Barrow go back to the car first, I still have some things to take care of."

"Okay, be careful." Huang Jinshen didn't say anything more and walked out of the house with Chen Xiong, who was a little curious, closing the door behind him.

Li Zhen examined the three corpses of sorcerers and found that they wore symbols of centipedes, spiders, and lizards on their waists, respectively, suggesting that these people were sorcerers who worshipped these three evil creatures.

But Detective Li knew that wasn't the case.

The fact that these people worship bat-faced demons reveals that the three of them are essentially bat-sect sorcerers.

Although the evil creatures they cultivate may seem unrelated to bats and appear to be connected to other evil spirits, in reality, these evil creatures are used to communicate with the bat-faced evil spirits.

Before they began their plan, they didn't know which evil creature was best suited to carry the essence of evil, so they cultivated a variety of evil creatures. They found that the bat was the most suitable, so the other evil creatures were eliminated.

Seeing a row of opaque pottery jars on one side of the room, Li Zhen walked up to the jars and opened them one by one.

After seeing all sorts of disgusting things, he finally saw the three sorcerers take away three evil creatures: a spider, a lizard, and a centipede.

The giant spider looked a bit scary, but it was most obedient to Li Zhen, because Li Zhen not only had the aura of the bat-faced demon, but also the aura of the spider demon.

That lizard was the most unruly; as soon as it saw Li Zhen, it bared its teeth at him and made a threatening "hoho" sound.

Li Zhen picked up the lizard and fed it to the menacing red-eyed bat.

There's no point in raising too many of these things.

As for that centipede...

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhen did not use it to feed the bats.

He might need the centipede to perform his black magic, so keeping the centipede might still be useful.

After putting the lid on the jar, Li Zhen checked the remaining jars one by one. Seeing that they were full of disgusting things, he had no interest in them at all.

Even if you want to use black magic, you don't necessarily have to use such disgusting things.

After searching the house and finding little of interest, Li Zhen turned his attention to the three corpses.

Finally, we've got three people...

Li Zhen had the vampire and the ghost fetus each drain the blood from a corpse to appease the somewhat irritable vampire and the ghost fetus.

Afterwards, he instructed Xiao Gui to go out and bring back the things he had prepared, and to inform Chen Xiong and Huang Jinshen that he needed more time and asked them to drive the car to a safe place and wait patiently.

After obtaining what he needed, Li Zhen began to draw the strange runes of the "corpse lifting man" technique, which uses the soul to nourish the body, on the ground.

This was the second time Li Zhen had used this evil magic, and he was more skilled than the first time.

After sending the little ghost and the mahjong ghost out to keep watch, Li Zhen lay down among several corpses and slowly closed his eyes.

A strange aura, visible to the naked eye, flowed slowly from the corpse towards Li Zhen, following the talisman he had drawn.

Just over an hour later, Li Zhen opened his eyes.

He stood up and looked at the several corpses around him, noticing that their skin had lost its color and turned a deathly gray.

Bow down.

Li Zhen looked at the skin on his left hand and found that the dry skin caused by the backlash of witchcraft had improved a lot, turning from "dry mud" into a thin, soft shell.

Based on this rate of recovery, a few more such rituals should be enough to fully restore him to his original state.

Even now, it's still a significant improvement compared to before the evil magic was used.

Li Zhen pulled up the sleeve on his right hand and saw that the festering wounds that were almost healed had now been almost completely healed.

His entire arm was almost entirely covered with a layer of keratinous snake scales.

Li Zhen sensed it and found it was difficult to detect the aura of the curse on his arm anymore.

Without further delay, in a good mood, Li Zhen removed the head of the demon statue and led the banshee and vampire out of the house.

The little devil and the mahjong devil each carried some things and followed behind Li Zhen.

Fortunately, the car that came this time was big enough, otherwise it might not have been able to fit the banshee and the vampire.

When they saw Detective Li come out, Chen Xiong and Huang Jinshen, who had been waiting anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back near the temple, Li Zhen went to see the middle-aged monk that very night and asked him to use the temple's clean water to wash away the female demon.

The middle-aged monk hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and let Li Zhen lead the demoness to the front of the main hall.

At the instruction of the middle-aged monk, the remaining monks set up an altar in front of the main hall.

After placing the female demon in the center of the altar, the monks surrounded her, chanting scriptures while pouring water from copper bowls over her head.

The stench emanating from the banshee gradually weakened, and her eerie aura also diminished, as if she had returned to her original state as a corpse.

However, Li Zhen, who had made a faint connection with the female demon, knew that she had not turned into a corpse. Only the marks belonging to the three sorcerers on her body had been cleaned, and their resentment had also been removed from her.

As long as Li Zhen continues to refine the female demon, he will be able to control her even more easily than before.

This special ritual lasted for an hour and a half.

Before leaving, Li Zhen visited Master Wenma Damo one last time and chatted with him for a few minutes.

Before Li Zhen was about to leave, Master Wenda Mamo invited him again, saying, "I will soon achieve the Golden Body. At that time, the entire temple will hold a ceremony for me. Why don't you stay and watch the ceremony before you leave?"

Li Zhen asked curiously, "After the master achieves the Golden Cultivation, will his consciousness cease to exist?"

Master Wendama Mamo said, "Yes, once I achieve the golden body, my consciousness will cease to exist, leaving only the golden body in the temple."

“Master’s merits are immeasurable. This temple will surely become one of the most famous temples in Southeast Asia.” Li Zhen suddenly felt a little melancholy. “It’s a pity that I will never see the master again.” He had only met Master Wen Ma Da Mo a few times. His melancholy was not entirely because of the master’s passing, but more because he thought of the price he had paid to live a few more days.

Master Wenma Mamo sensed the melancholy in Li Zhen's tone: "If fate allows, perhaps we can meet again in the next life, benefactor and benefactor Huang."

Li Zhen smiled and shook his head: "It's better not to meet. Only in this way can the master truly escape from his suffering."

"I will be leaving tonight and will not be able to witness the grand ceremony of the master's attainment of the golden body. I can only wish the master a smooth path to enlightenment."

After a moment of silence, Master Wenma Mamo suddenly said, "You must stay true to your original intention and never forget your initial purpose."

Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat: "What did the master see?"

Master Wenma Mamo said, "The closer I get to the golden body, the more my consciousness can see, but there are some things that cannot be said, otherwise it will damage my cultivation."

Detective Li didn't ask any more questions.

He doesn't believe that Master Wendamamo is deliberately playing cryptic games.

Master Wenma Mamo is at a crucial moment in his cultivation of a golden body. If he says something he shouldn't, it will definitely affect his practice.

With a pensive look on his face, Li Zhen left Master Wen Ma Da Mo and headed straight to the airport with Huang Jin Shen and Song Cai, who had already packed their things.

His time is running out...

After parting ways with Somchai outside the airport, and having Somchai return the car on their behalf, Li Zhen, along with the vampire, the banshee, and others, flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with Huang Jinshen.

Their tickets were for Kathmandu as a transit point, with their final destination being Hong Kong Island after daybreak.

As for the purpose of going to Kathmandu, Li Zhen only told Huang Jinshen that he was going to find something, and Huang Jinshen did not ask any further questions.

When the plane arrived in Kathmandu, it was still dark.

Detective Li asked Melvin Wong to wait at the airport, and then left the airport alone.

He remembered that the relic was in the Lama Temple of Natuo Buddha, and it would only appear at the very last moment before dawn.

This temple is extremely famous in Kathmandu, and Li Zhen found it easily.

None of the things he feared happened, and Li Zhen successfully infiltrated the Lama Temple. However, he waited until dawn but did not see any relics.

Detective Li wasn't too disappointed.

It's good if we can get this, but it doesn't matter if we can't.

The current situation can only mean that he has no affinity with Buddhism.

It seems that Chen Xiong is the one with a deep affinity for Buddhism...

Without hesitation, Li Zhen took a taxi back to the airport and boarded the planned flight back to Hong Kong Island with Huang Jinshen.

In the novel "The Devil," there is a strange substance called "iron sulfide," which, when injected into the body, can make one immune to all evil.

But this thing is of no use to Li Zhen.

He himself is an "evil thing," and if that thing is injected into his body, it will definitely torture him to the point of wishing he were dead.

So Li Zhen didn't waste any time and tried to get that thing.

In the evening, the two returned to Hong Kong Island.

Upon exiting the airport, Wong Kam-sing heard that Detective Lee would be leaving soon, so he immediately took the money and bought the ebony he had contacted.

More than half the money was spent, and the piece of ebony that was bought was only the size of an adult's thigh. It was impossible to make a coffin, but it was more than enough to make a pillow.

Having obtained the ebony, Li Zhen bid farewell to Huang Jinshen.

Wong Kam-sing asked Detective Lee where he was going.

Li Zhen replied, "I'm going abroad to cultivate, and I won't be back in Hong Kong for a while. I don't know when I'll see you again. Here, take this."

He tossed a pamphlet to Wong Kam-sing.

On the plane, Wong Kam-sing watched Lee Chan write this booklet, so he naturally knew that it contained some esoteric knowledge written by Lee Chan.

After catching the booklet, Wong Kam-sing waved to Detective Lee and said with a smile, "Have a safe trip. Come find me when you get back to Hong Kong Island."

When he met Li Zhen at the hospital, his last words of farewell were "Have a safe journey."

Li Zhen smiled knowingly, waved to Huang Jinshen, and led the vampire and the banshee he could initially control towards the street.

He left the rest of the money at Wong Kam-sing's house, without Wong Kam-sing's knowledge.

Wong Kam-sing watched Lee Chan's figure disappear from sight before returning home.

As they walked under the shade of a tree, Li Zhen suddenly paused.

Seemingly sensing something, he frowned and looked in one direction, then suddenly smiled: "What a coincidence? Then I'll help you one last time..."

He closed his eyes and whispered a spell.

……

Walking alone on a small path, Su Yuanqiong glanced back with some fear.

There were low buildings on both sides, and they looked normal, but she always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her from the empty windows of those buildings.

After the cat corpse incident, she did not go to their door to cause trouble.

Having harbored such ruthless thoughts, even a moment of weakness couldn't dispel them; instead, it solidified her resolve to hold those thoughts.

However, after she found the right channels to contact the right people, she realized that things around her had become abnormal again.

The feeling of being watched was relatively weak yesterday, but it's stronger today...

The person following behind him seemed to be getting closer and closer.

But she couldn't find the person no matter what she did.

Taking a deep breath to suppress her fear, Su Yuanqiong grabbed the protective copper coin given to her by Master Fang with her left hand and took out a strange talisman given to her by Li Zhen with her right hand.

These two items are useful. After taking them out last night, the feeling of being spied on was greatly reduced.

But it happened again today.

Su Yuanqiong sensed that the person following behind her was also testing her.

If there really is such a person.

She took a few steps forward.

Suddenly, she noticed that the talisman in her right hand was emitting tremendous heat, causing her to instinctively shake it off and drop it to the ground.

Startled, Su Yuanqiong looked at the talisman that had quickly burned to ashes and discovered that the incantation on the talisman seemed to have come to life, wriggling on the ground.

A scream came from behind her.

Startled, Su Yuanqiong turned her head sharply and saw a middle-aged man screaming as he tumbled from the roof of a building to the ground.

The man struggled a few times, vomited a lot of blood, and then lay on the ground motionless, as if he were dead.

Su Yuanqiong turned her gaze away in a daze and looked at the talisman on the ground.

"Is the master helping me?"

……

In the void, lines of writing appeared before Li Zhen's eyes.

You saved Yu Changzheng's life, and in a short time, you investigated and uncovered the truth behind the matter, eradicating the root of the problem.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Demon Statue from the world of "Demon Embryo." This statue was created through sacrifice in the world of "Demon Embryo" and contains the will of the ancient demon Damasuru. Be careful of the backlash from this demonic will.]

[You freed Wong Kam-sing from his fear, investigated the cause of his fear within the allotted time, and completely resolved the root of the strange events that had befallen him.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a banshee from the world of "Demon". This banshee was created by three sorcerers using secret methods, making her extremely evil. However, due to time constraints, the three sorcerers only completed half of the creation process, and the banshee has not yet displayed her full power.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired a ghost cat from the world of "The Demon." This ghost cat was created by evil people using unorthodox methods. It is extremely ferocious and can destroy the luck of others, disrupt the feng shui of an area, and kill without shedding blood.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a piece of dark wood from the world of "The Demon," along with some miscellaneous items.]

Li Zhen's gaze lingered on the succubus for a moment.

Only half of the refining process is complete?

The memories he absorbed showed that the banshee had indeed not completed the refining process, but only half of it, which he had only just learned.

It seems that I will only be able to learn all the information about this banshee after I have fully absorbed those memories.

Looking down, Li Zhen glanced at the description of the cat.

The cat, which it saw as merely a little fierce, shouldn't be tossed around like a little devil...

According to this description, this cat can kill silently and has some potential for being bred.

When his vision cleared again, Li Zhen appeared inside the coffin.

The familiar environment and the strong yin energy made Li Zhen feel very comfortable.
