The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 147 Evil Ghosts Change Fate and the Underworld Appears

The monk's heart tightened.

He is a person with magical powers.

Although he was almost killed by evil spirits and looked quite disheveled, he would still be considered a "master" in the eyes of ordinary people.

At this point, one can naturally see how terrifying this young man who has just appeared is.

This sense of terror and oppression was in no way inferior to that of the evil spirit.

The cobra sensed the man's arrival and seemed to feel fear as well. It didn't even dare to make an attacking gesture and lowered its head, trying to sneak away, but the man stepped on its head.

Blood spurted out.

The snake twisted and coiled around the man's foot, which he then casually grabbed.

The monk who witnessed this scene swallowed hard.

For some reason, the image of himself being trampled to death also appeared in his mind...

It was naturally Detective Li who caught the dead snake.

The unique aura emanating from his right arm had a strong suppressive effect on snakes, which naturally felt fear upon sensing it.

After glancing at the monk, Li Zhen calmly walked up the stairs.

The vampires and banshees behind him slowly followed him up the stairs.

Sensing the inhuman aura of these two beings, the monk trembled uncontrollably.

He tried to climb up, but found himself unable to muster any strength. He could only curl up in a ball on the narrow staircase, trying his best not to be trampled to death.

Li Zhen passed by the monk.

Vampires and banshees have also crossed over to monks.

The monk wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to make a sound.

Kong Zhaoming ran up the stairs and helped the trembling monk to his feet.

"Master, what's going on inside?"

Seeing that Kong Zhaoming was a normal person, the monk breathed a sigh of relief: "That evil spirit... the evil spirit is unwilling to resolve its grievances with that benefactor, the situation is very dangerous."

Kong Zhaoming asked worriedly, "Does Aunt Du have no way to deal with that evil spirit?"

The monk sighed, "That evil spirit is very powerful. Auntie San is definitely helpless. I am very worried about Auntie San's safety. I'm afraid... I'm afraid they can't deal with that evil spirit."

"Master, please rest here for a while. I'll go check on the situation."

Kong Zhaoming put down the monk and climbed upstairs.

Li Zhen threw the dead snake into the basket on the vampire's back, then pasted a talisman on the door, and then turned sideways to let the vampire push open the door.

……

After the monk was pulled out of the room, Du Sangu and the others rushed to the door, trying to open it to save him, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open the door.

The monk's screams outside the door stopped abruptly.

The people in the room felt heavy-hearted.

Realizing that the evil spirit had turned against them and there was no way to resolve the situation, Du Sangu and the others slowly retreated from the doorway, warily watching their surroundings.

Although no one spoke, everyone understood that the monk locked outside was likely in grave danger.

There's no need to worry about that monk now; what they need to worry about more is themselves.

A terrifying atmosphere enveloped the room.

Suddenly, the large cauldron in front of the altar overturned, spilling boiling oil all over the ground.

The tables, chairs, and benches in the room began to shake.

Du Sangu, holding the magic sword, looked even more vigilant.

The resentment of this evil spirit was terrifying; she had never encountered such a vengeful ghost in all her life of performing rituals.

The horror of the vengeful ghost is not the problem; the problem lies in the fact that this vengeful ghost completely rejects any possibility of resolving grudges and demonstrates its ferocity by killing people as soon as it appears.

If it weren't for the fact that the person had saved her junior brother's life, she would never have risked her life to get involved in this matter.

If not handled properly, everyone could die here today...

Master Chen's expression also became extremely vigilant.

Just then, the door they couldn't open was pushed open from the outside.

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the door, making everyone squint.

Du Sangu raised her hand to shield herself, and when she lowered it again, she saw Li Zhen leading the vampire and the banshee into the room.

Her hand holding the magic sword trembled involuntarily.

Master Chen, whose eyes were completely blind, reached out and wiped the sweat from his face.

Although nothing can be seen, the terrifying evil aura doesn't need to be seen with the eyes.

The moment he sensed that aura, he remembered the same aura he had detected from that note…

Kong Zhaoming, who entered the room from the back, saw that Du Sangu and the others looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and quickly said, "Master Chen, this is also a sorcerer. We invited him to help us!"

With his eyes stinging from the dust, Xiao Yulong kept rubbing them as he said to his aunt, "This is the monk downstairs that you and I told you about."

"A sorcerer?" Du Sangu glanced at Li Zhen, then looked at the vampire and banshee behind him, her expression showing no sign of relaxation.

Having worked in this industry for so many years, he had met many people, but he had never seen a "master" like this before.

Master Chen said with trembling lips, "It's good that they're our own people, they're our own people... maybe there's still hope for today's situation."

After glancing at Du Sangu and the others, Li Zhen turned to look at the covered four-faced Buddha statue on the altar.

Of all the things in the room, this four-faced Buddha was the only thing he couldn't understand.

Li Zhen raised his gaze to the ceiling, where the yin energy was most concentrated, and said to the evil spirit, "Since you're here, why don't you come out and talk?"

The evil spirit did not reply.

Li Zhen said to himself, "Didn't you want to kill someone? Why don't you dare come out now?"

Upon hearing this, Du Sangu thought to herself, "This is bad."

The evil spirit never wanted to resolve this grudge, and now that this person has said those things, it will definitely enrage the evil spirit, which is already angry.

Just as Du Sangu had thought.

An even greater resentment seeped into the house from outside, causing a layer of frost to form on the floor.

The tables and chairs that had been quiet started to shake again.

A muffled voice, brimming with malice, rang out: "You want to stop... me from taking revenge? I was tortured into confessing, so it's only natural for me to seek revenge! Everyone must die! Xiao Youtian must be childless!"

A chair flew up and slammed against the wall with a bang, startling Xiao Yuling into a scream.

A nervous Xiao Yulong put his arm around Xiao Yuling's shoulder, signaling her not to be afraid.

Li Zhen looked around: "Xiao Youtian tortured you and put all the blame on you. He is guilty."

“Your two sworn brothers are also guilty of robbery, murder, and bribing Xiao Youtian.”

“You killed your two sworn brothers, there’s nothing wrong with that, they deserved it.”

“Xiao You has been insane for over ten years. Although his body is still alive, his soul has long since left this world. This is the punishment he deserves.”

"You participated in robbery and murder, which is a crime punishable by death. Your hanging is what you deserve."

"Now that everyone has received their due punishment, why are you still so resentful?"

"I'm giving you one last chance. Leave now, or you'll be reduced to ashes."

Hearing Li Zhen's firm words, Du Sangu and the others were on tenterhooks.

Given the strength of this evil spirit's resentment, it certainly won't give in easily.

The shaking tables and chairs stopped, and the room fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone knew that this was the prelude to the demon's wrath.

Suddenly, a large hole appeared in the ceiling, and a huge brown arm reached into the room through the hole, roughly grabbing Xiao Yulong and his sister as if they were toys.

Seeing this, Du Sangu and the others were very anxious and tried to pull the brother and sister back.

A huge shadow swept over their heads and struck the massive brown arm before anyone could reach it.

A thick, pale blue liquid spilled down, and the arm abruptly retracted upwards.

Du Sangu and the others suddenly stopped and looked at the huge bat circling overhead.

The red-eyed bat landed on the sofa, its gaze fixed intently on the group.

Stared at by that gaze, Du Sangu and the others felt a chill run down their spines and stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

"have a finger in the pie!"

A ghostly figure appeared on the door.

The ghostly figure became clearer and closer, and when it stepped into the house, it transformed into a hideous demon with a rotting face and disheveled hair.

The demon was still wearing the clothes he was wearing when he was hanged.

Those who had seen Xiao Youtian's memories before immediately recognized that this was the evil spirit that Liang Xia had become after his death.

When this evil spirit appeared, the terrifying aura it displayed far exceeded Du Sangu's expectations.

If she were the one blocking the way at that moment, she would have no choice but to use her last life-saving trick.

She knew in her heart that even if she used all her tricks, she probably wouldn't be able to stop this evil spirit.

If this unknown sorcerer can't stop the evil spirits, the consequences will be dire...

She looked at Li Zhen and saw that he had taken out a hideous demon statue that exuded an evil aura.

Looking at the evil spirit again, Du Sangu's eyelids twitched violently.

Another evil spirit appeared in front of the first evil spirit, blocking its path.

That was the Mahjong Ghost who had fought that evil spirit once.

The mahjong demon's two white bone claws and the evil demon's hands simultaneously pierced into the other's body.

The Mahjong Ghost's abdomen was ripped open by the evil spirit, but its own bone claws only managed to pierce the evil spirit's body, clearly indicating it was no match for it. Throwing the Mahjong Ghost aside, the evil spirit floated towards Li Zhen.

The lurking demon finally found its chance, extending a tentacle from the vampire's body, which instantly pierced through the demon's body.

The evil spirit reached out and grabbed the tentacles of the demon fetus.

The red-eyed bats, which had been planning this all along, flew out, opened their scarlet mouths, and sucked the evil spirit into their mouths.

The evil spirit let out a terrible scream.

The red-eyed bat managed to close its mouth, the small black dots in its crimson eyes spinning continuously, and its aura became even more eerie.

The skin next to the ghost face on his back kept bulging upwards, as if a second ghost face was about to form.

However, the skin only formed bumps, not a complete ghost face.

Even though the red-eyed bat tried its best to close its mouth, yin energy still spewed out from its facial features.

The yin energy transformed into a fist-sized evil spirit, which vanished in a flash.

Then another faint scream rang out from outside.

The Mahjong Ghost, whose body had not yet healed, disappeared without a trace. When it reappeared, it was holding a struggling miniature demon in its hand.

Its palm slowly exerted force, crushing the evil spirit once.

A few specks of yin energy emanated from it and was inhaled into its nose.

The demon, now smaller, tried to escape, but he caught it again.

This action looks like revenge for almost being torn in two by the other party.

Li Zhen took the evil spirit with his right hand.

The once menacing demon now struggled weakly in his hand like a small pet.

From beginning to end, Li Zhen simply took out the demon mask without making any other moves, and the evil spirit fell into his hands.

Looking at the evil spirit in Li Zhen's hand, Du Sangu glanced at the mahjong ghost and the vampire out of the corner of her eye, her expression becoming even more tense.

With her discerning eye, she could easily tell what those things were at a glance.

This "master" is even more evil than that demon...

Master Chen reached out a hand and grasped Du Sangu's arm, seemingly conveying some message to her.

The door was pushed open again, startling Du Sangu and the others.

After recognizing the monk, Du Sangu breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted Master Chen's arm, indicating that she understood what he meant.

Looking at Li Zhen, Kong Zhaoming, standing next to Xiao Yulong, broke the tense atmosphere: "If the mage hadn't intervened at the crucial moment, things would have been troublesome."

Still shaken, Xiao Yulong forced a smile: "Thanks to the mage..."

Xiao Yuling hid behind Xiao Yulong, not daring to look at the Mahjong Ghost.

The red-eyed bat flew onto Li Zhen's shoulder, eyeing the evil spirit in his hand with predatory intent.

Du Sangu lowered her magic sword and said to Li Zhen, "Thank you for saving our lives. If it weren't for you, we would probably all have lost our lives to evil spirits today."

"Sigh, I just wanted to do my best and thought that if we couldn't reach an agreement, that would be the end of it. I didn't expect this vengeful ghost to be so vicious that it wanted to kill everyone present."

Li Zhen looked at Du Sangu and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid this isn't over yet."

Du Sangu was taken aback: "This... the evil spirit has been captured, could there still be unforeseen changes?"

"You'll have to ask it." Li Zhen exerted his strength, squeezing the evil spirit until it couldn't move.

The evil spirit let out a strange, shrill laugh: "Your deaths are destined, it's fate. If Yama wants you dead, you'll die at midnight. Why would he let you live until dawn?"

"You think...you think I wasn't prepared? I bribed the ghost messengers, if I couldn't...couldn't..."

The ground suddenly sank, and everything except the area where Li Zhen and the demon statue were located, and the area where the altar was located, fell downwards.

Beneath the ground was not a basement, but a gloomy, hellish space.

Countless hideous ghosts stretched out their hands from the pit formed by the sinkhole in the floor and grabbed Kong Zhaoming and the other two who had fallen into the pit.

Caught off guard, Du Sangu and her companions landed beside the pit, barely managing to grab the edge and struggle to climb out.

Arms grabbed their legs, preventing them from climbing out of the pit.

In desperation, Du Sangu picked up her magic sword and slashed downwards.

She severed several rotting arms, and several more arms grabbed her feet. Even her magic sword was bitten by a ghost with half its face missing, rendering her unable to wield it.

Kong Zhaoming and his companions were almost overwhelmed by evil spirits, and all they could see on all sides were all kinds of ferocious and evil spirits.

Wriggling maggots, exposed teeth, rotting skin...

This was a scene they could hardly even dream of; the real eighteen levels of hell were probably no better than this.

Amidst screams of agony, Kong Zhaoming, struggling desperately, was dragged into the horde of demons.

Countless evil spirits opened their mouths and lunged at him.

Kong Zhaoming let out a helpless howl, grabbing the demon's face with both hands without regard for anything else.

It felt like grasping at rotting flesh; the sensation from his hands sent shivers down his spine.

But he was only focused on surviving and couldn't possibly consider all that.

Just then, a sound, or perhaps a sharp needle of some physical nature, pierced his ear, causing his vision to go black and almost making him faint.

When his vision returned slightly, he saw that the heads of the demons had exploded, but their hands were still gripping his body.

All hearing has disappeared; the world has become like a silent film.

In a daze, Kong Zhaoming watched as the ghosts reached out to grab him, and watched as his body was pulled out of the ghosts, rising higher and higher until it landed in the pit, far away from the evil spirits.

Also landing with him were Xiao Yulong and his sister, covered in blood and with blank expressions.

He stared blankly behind him and saw a scarlet tentacle retracting from his body.

At the end of the tentacles was a bizarre creature with a face inside its mouth and vertical pupils.

Xiao Yulong and the other person were also rescued by the tentacles of this strange entity.

The eerie entity extended its tentacles again, pulling out the panicked Du Sangu and the others.

Several headless demons grabbed Du Sangu and the others by the feet and climbed up, only to be pierced one after another by the tentacles of that strange entity.

Feeling a slight itch in his ear, Kong Zhaoming touched it and felt some warm liquid.

He didn't even need to look; he knew it was blood.

After a while, his hearing gradually returned.

Du Sangu's voice gradually grew louder in his ears.

First there was a buzzing sound, then it gradually became a clearer sound.

"...Run...run! Run! The underworld..."

Kong Zhaoming quickly got up, grabbed Xiao Yulong and his sister, and followed Du Sangu to the door.

When they ran behind the door, they found that it could not be opened.

Kong Zhaoming glanced back and saw that the evil spirits had already climbed up the pit. Recalling the sensation he had just felt, a chill ran through him.

He subconsciously looked at Li Zhen and saw Li Zhen performing some kind of bloody magic in front of the hideous demon statue.

As if the spell had taken effect, several evil spirits wailed and turned into yin energy, which was then devoured by the demonic statue.

But more evil spirits have climbed up, and Kong Zhaoming doesn't know if Li Zhen, who is about to be submerged, can hold on.

Originally, just a few evil spirits nearly killed Du Sangu and the others; now there are so many...

Kong Zhaoming went berserk, grabbed a chair, and slammed it against the door.

……

Looking at the evil spirits climbing up the pit, Li Zhen was somewhat surprised.

He took out the demon statue not to deal with the evil spirit, but to deal with the current situation.

As soon as he entered the house, he sensed that the atmosphere here was a bit strange, which is why he spoke a few more words to the evil spirit.

But Li Zhen never expected that the evil spirit would be able to create such a terrifying situation.

Is that eerie, ghostly place really the underworld?
The ghost messenger mentioned by the evil spirit he casually fed to the red-eyed bat is also real.
Although there were many evil spirits, they posed little danger to Li Zhen. No matter how many came, they were just food for him to feed the demons.

Li Zhen's attention was focused on the depths of that crater.

Something seemed to be gushing out from inside.

Even after he sensed what was inside, he felt pressure.

Is what's below really the legendary underworld?

Li Zhen did not allow the demon to devour the evil spirit again.

He opened a jar beside him and used his finger to dab some of the slime, drawing incantations next to the demon statue.

The vampire standing behind Li Zhen slowly stepped forward, its malevolent aura erupting, causing the evil spirits to retreat continuously.

One of the evil spirits was a little too slow to retreat and was caught by the vampire, who casually put it into his mouth.

Each of these evil spirits is filled with intense resentment and carries the stench of blood. They have killed countless people, and any one of them would be a murderous vengeful ghost. However, they are still much weaker than the evil spirit from before, and they would definitely have no power to resist a vampire zombie.

Red-eyed bats hovered above the ghosts, emitting excited cries, and occasionally sucking a ghost into their mouths.

The succubus stepped forward and stood motionless beside Li Zhen.

The demon fetus had already reached the front of the vampire zombie, grabbing numerous evil spirits with its tentacles and continuously feeding them into its mouth.

The little ghost and the mahjong ghost stood on the other side of Li Zhen, watching the ghosts warily.

"This feeling is a bit scary. I think... I think I'm really afraid of what's inside..." the little devil muttered.

Even the mahjong ghost was a little scared, its body trembling uncontrollably.

The room was not spacious, and the ghostly creatures that crawled out were quickly driven back into the pit by the vampires, ghost fetuses, and red-eyed bats.
