The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 156 The Conflict Between Master Ching Hai of the Yellow Sect of Esoteric Buddhism and Li Zhen

The female ghost overturned the table and chairs and pounced on Commander Xu.

Commander Xu dodged awkwardly, throwing all the messy things behind him at the female ghost.

After briefly delaying the female ghost, Xu Dashuai ran towards the door that the ghost fetus had pushed open.

The ghost fetus's eerie eyes looked at Commander Xu.

Xu Dashuai, who was blocked, took a step back, glanced at the female ghost who was chasing after him, his knees buckled, and he knelt down in front of Li Zhen, pleading, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you save me, I will not only give you all my money, but also build you a seven-story... eight-story or nine-story pagoda!"

The ghost fetus stretched out its tentacles, bound General Xu, and threw the terrified General Xu toward the female ghost.

The female ghost opened her abdomen and easily swallowed the front half of Xu Dashuai's body.

Commander Xu's shouts came to an abrupt halt.

He reached forward with both hands and grabbed the woman's body, her lower body struggling continuously.

Having received the offering of blood, the female ghost revealed an expression of ecstasy.

The tentacles of the ghost fetus silently passed through Marshal Xu's body and suddenly pierced into the female ghost's abdomen.

With a scream, the female ghost released Xu Dashuai and staggered back two steps, but she could not break free from the tentacles of the ghost fetus.

The ghost fetus's tentacles trembled, breaking Xu Dashuai's corpse into several pieces. It then pulled the female ghost backward, dragging her in front of Li Zhen.

With his right hand reaching into the woman's abdomen, Li Zhen calmly pulled out the demonic infant.

The female ghost's eyes lost their color, and she collapsed backward in despair.

After being possessed by an evil spirit, their souls are devoured by the evil spirit, leaving only an empty shell.

Now that the evil spirits have been exorcised, their bodies have become corpses.

Li Zhen picked up the struggling demonic infant and observed it for a while.

This demonic infant is neither a ghost nor a demon; it is a very special existence, just like a ghost fetus.

When Li Zhen first saw that woman, he sensed a strange aura emanating from her.

What was the purpose of the Five Ghosts Sect in the White Lotus Sect in refining this?
Simply to use it to kill?
It's definitely not that simple...

Li Zhen used his fingernails to cut open the demon baby's body.

The demonic infant's body was no different from that of an ordinary human; it was also made of flesh and blood, and blood flowed out after Li Zhen cut it open.

A malevolent aura mixed with resentment emanated from the demonic infant's body and flowed towards Li Zhen, but was suppressed by the evil aura emanating from Li Zhen.

After sacrificing the ghost messengers to Damasulu, Damasulu's will was further revived, allowing Li Zhen to use evil energy to protect himself, making it much easier to deal with these ghosts.

The demonic infant suddenly opened its mouth and let out a sharp, piercing scream.

Li Zhen slowly exerted force with his palm, crushing the demonic infant's body into a lump of flesh and blood.

Terrifying evil energy surged from his hands, wrapping around the surface of the demonic infant, causing it to emit even more miserable howls.

First, capture the five demonic infants...

Li Zhen casually tossed the demonic infant to the ghost fetus.

The demon fetus opened its mouth and grabbed the demon infant, its sharp teeth piercing into the infant's body, rendering it unable to move.

Stepping out of the room, Li Zhen saw a vampire tearing at the female ghost.

The female ghost did not sit idly by and wait for her death.

Tentacles extending from the female ghost's abdomen wrapped around the vampire's body, but they couldn't do anything to the vampire.

However, the vampire's black robe and hat were knocked to the ground, revealing its ferocious appearance.

Huang Bin and the others retreated to the wall in the distance, looking at the vampire and the female ghost with fear.

They were initially relieved to be saved when the vampire blocked the female ghost.

But upon seeing the vampire's appearance, these people suddenly realized that the vampire was no less terrifying than the female ghost, and perhaps even more so.

The fear that Huang Bin and Chu Liu felt after learning that they had traveled with this thing all the way was unimaginable.

What unsettled them even more was the person walking with Li Zhen, this sorcerer. Who was Li Zhen? Was he really the sorcerer they had imagined?
Seeing Li Zhen come out, Huang Bin and Chu Liu exchanged a glance, both seeing the unease in each other's eyes.

After glancing over Huang Bin and the others, Li Zhen looked at the vampire and the female ghost.

Newborn demon infants, who haven't eaten much blood, are no match for vampire zombies.

The reason it didn't die immediately was because Li Zhen didn't let the vampire kill it, but instead wanted to capture it alive.

At this moment, having received Li Zhen's order, the vampire did not delay any longer. It bit the female ghost's neck and pulled it outward, tearing off most of the female ghost's neck.

Amidst the female ghost's screams, the vampire's right hand reached into her abdomen and, just like Li Zhen, pulled the demonic infant out of her womb.

As the demonic infant struggled, the frenzied vampire bit off half of its head and slowly chewed it.

If Li Zhen hadn't stopped it, it definitely wouldn't have bitten off more than half of the demon infant's head this time.

Black blood continued to flow out, and the demonic infant became much weaker than before.

The demon fetus stretched out its tentacles and wrapped them around the demon infant, taking it from the vampire's hand.

The vampire zombie chewing on the flesh and bones of the demonic infant did not react.

After glancing at the corpse of Butler Li next to the vampire, Li Zhen remembered that he had originally planned to have this man return the money he had spent on pawning the golden Buddha.

Since the person was killed, naturally they can't go and repay the money...

Li Zhen led the ghost fetus and the mahjong ghost towards the room next door where strange blood-red light kept flashing.

The resentment emanating from the demonic infant in this room is the strongest.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Huang Bin cautiously asked, "Master... Master, what should we do now?"

"There are five evil spirits. Once I capture them all, you will be safe."

"Can we go out first? We..."

Li Zhen turned to look at Huang Bin.

Huang Bin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "We are just ordinary people and can't help the sorcerer. Staying here will only hinder the sorcerer's fight against the evil spirits. Why don't we just go outside and wait for the sorcerer?"

Li Zhen said, "It's not safe outside. Only by standing here can I guarantee your safety."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and led the ghost fetus and the vampire into the room.

What appeared before him were translucent, blood-red films.

The thin films covered the entire room, turning it into a bizarre lair.

……

Seeing the door closed, Huang Bin looked at Chu Liu with a helpless expression.

When the servants saw Li Zhen close the door, they all rushed to the wall and climbed up using their own methods.

The wall wasn't high; if no female ghost came out to stop them, they could climb it by placing some things under their feet.

Only Huang Bin, Chu Liu, and Xiao Yu remained in the backyard.

Chu Liu whispered, "Should we run?"

Huang Bin hesitated.

The little fish next to Chu Liu said, "Let's go outside first. It's not safe here. I'm scared..."

Her face was deathly pale with fright, and her body was trembling uncontrollably, making her look utterly pitiful.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, he simply couldn't refuse Xiaoyu's request.

He looked at Huang Bin and said to him, "There's no point in us waiting here."

Huang Bin hesitated and said, "The monk told us not to go out, so should we just wait here obediently?"

He glanced at the room Li Zhen had entered.

The screams and wails coming from inside terrified him.

A sound of a wall collapsing rang out, and it sounded like the Third Madam from the next room had also rushed into this room.

This made him a little worried.

If the two ladies... no, the two female ghosts ate the sorcerer inside, then they would definitely be doomed.

But what would happen if the sorcerer were to deal with all the evil spirits inside?
“The situation here is too strange. The sorcerer said he was going to perform a ritual, but... this situation is very wrong.” Chu Liu didn’t hesitate any longer and pulled Xiao Yu away. “Butler Li is dead, and the master is dead too. I can’t let Xiao Yu stay here.”

Looking around, Huang Bin realized he was all alone. He swallowed hard and quickly caught up with Chu Liu and Xiao Yu.

"Wait for me!"

Just as the three were about to run to the wall, they suddenly saw the little ghost holding a cat sitting on the top of the wall, which startled them quite a bit.

On the sixth day, Chu Liu forced a smile at the little ghost and said, "We'll go outside to wait for the sorcerer. Could you... please be merciful and let us through?" The little ghost, who was rubbing the cat's face, revealed a half-smile.

Seeing the maggots falling from the cat, Chu Liu almost vomited.

The little fish, who had been keeping her head down, looked up at the little ghost with a strange expression. But when she saw a huge bat suddenly appear next to the little ghost, her expression changed abruptly, and she lowered her head again, gripping Chu Liu's arm tightly as if she were afraid.

Although he was also very scared, on the sixth day of the lunar new year he patted the back of Xiaoyu's hand to comfort her.

Huang Bin forced a smile and said, "Ghost Bro, Bat Bro, those guys have all gone out. Can't we go out now?"

The red-eyed bat turned its head and shifted its eerie red eyes from the little fish to Huang Bin, causing Huang Bin to lose his composure for a moment.

The little devil also looked at Huang Bin and said crisply, "It's not that we can't go out."

Huang Bin's face lit up with joy.

The little devil chuckled and continued, "People can't go out, but souls can, as long as you..."

It licked its lips, a malicious expression appearing on its face.

Huang Bin was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

Returning to the spot they had just been, he said to Chu Liu, "It seems we really can't get out. We can only wait for that monk to come out."

"Then let's wait." Chu Liu hugged the trembling little fish into his arms.

The eerie red light in the room where Li Zhen was flickered for a while and then disappeared, and even the screams stopped.

Not long after, Li Zhen, who was covered in blood, came out.

The demonic infants bound to the tentacles of the demonic fetus multiplied to four.

The little fish hid behind Chu Liu in fear.

Huang Bin glanced at the ghost fetus and the demonic infant on its tentacles, then looked at Li Zhen and said in fear, "Master, has the evil spirit... has it been captured? Can we leave now?"

The "master" in front of him was even more evil than an evil spirit, and all he wanted to do now was leave this place as soon as possible.

Li Zhen shook his head: "There are five evil spirits, but I have only caught four so far. There is one left."

Huang Bin hurriedly said, "Master, hurry and catch it! Don't let the evil spirit escape! Wait, the master has four wives. If, according to the master, an evil spirit needs five hosts to be reincarnated, then there is still one evil spirit that hasn't been reincarnated?"

"It has already been reincarnated."

"Where is it? On one of the servants in the Xu household? The sorcerer must find it as soon as possible, before it escapes!"

"The evil spirit is very clever. It must have realized that if it were to be reincarnated in one place, there was a possibility of being wiped out. So it found a suitable opportunity to be reincarnated outside the Xu family."

"Does the sorcerer mean that the last evil spirit isn't here, but somewhere in the town?"

“No, it’s right here.” Li Zhen looked at the little fish hiding behind Chu Liu. “How long are you going to keep pretending?”

"Little Fish?" Huang Bin stared wide-eyed at Little Fish.

"The monk said that Xiaoyu is an evil spirit?" Chu Liu, his heart pounding, subconsciously shook his head. "How is that possible? Those ladies who were possessed by evil spirits turned into that, but Xiaoyu is still perfectly fine, without any change."

Huang Bin also said, "The sorcerer must have made a mistake. When Xiaoyu left, none of the ladies were pregnant yet, so the evil spirits definitely hadn't appeared yet."

“For an evil spirit to infest someone, it needs a suitable candidate. The four wives of the Xu family are perfect candidates, and the other one is definitely pregnant.” Li Zhen walked towards Huang Bin and the others. “The infestation of these four women was influenced by Marshal Xu, and you…”

On the sixth day of the lunar month, he retreated to the wall with the little fish.

Huang Bin was also backing away.

Wiping his sweat, he argued, "Yes, the monk is right, but how could Xiaoyu be pregnant? She doesn't even know... uh..."

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes wide as he looked at Chu Liu and Xiao Yu: "You...you can't be..."

Chu Liu shook his head in panic, saying, "Impossible! How could Xiaoyu be possessed by an evil spirit?! Look at Xiaoyu, how could she be possessed?"

Huang Bin said uneasily, "General Xu has brought evil spirits to the four ladies. You've been staying at the Xu residence the whole time. What if..."

“The object of the evil spirit’s parasitism will be transformed into a ghoul that only knows how to devour blood. It will devour any blood it can find, including you and everyone in the town,” Li Zhen said. “I only capture the demonic infant. As for her, her situation is a bit special. I will find a way to let her exist in the world as a ghost for a longer period of time.”

He suddenly stopped and looked at the back gate.

With a loud bang, the door was smashed open with something.

A dashing middle-aged man with a mustache and carrying a magic sword walked into the backyard.

“He’s right. Once the evil spirit gets away, the consequences will be unimaginable,” the middle-aged man said.

Upon seeing this person, Huang Bin and Chu Liu were immediately overjoyed.

"Master Qinghai, what brings you here?" Huang Bin ran up to the middle-aged man.

“I told you, don’t call me Master,” said the middle-aged man named Qinghai. “Just call me friend.”

"Why did I come here? Of course, it's because I sensed an overwhelming sense of resentment here, oh, especially that evil aura, which made me uneasy, so I came here to take a look."

Chu Liu, who had run over, hurriedly said, "That sorcerer said that Xiao Yu has been possessed by an evil spirit..."

Qinghai waved his hand: "I heard everything."

His gaze swept over the vampires and the like, and his expression turned serious.

Finally, his gaze settled on Li Zhen, and he introduced himself first: "I am Qinghai, the 28th generation successor of the Yellow Sect of Esoteric Buddhism. May I ask how you should address me, my friend?"

"Detective Li."

Li Zhen didn't expect to meet this master so soon.

After looking the other person up and down for a few moments, he simply said the other person's name.

The Yellow Sect is a very important branch of Tantric Buddhism.

In the weasel's memory, Li Zhen had seen some content about the Yellow Sect and had a basic understanding of it.

Qinghai looked at the demonic infant entangled by the ghost fetus and sighed, "Back then, these five evil spirits were sealed into the Five Demon Gu by my master. I searched for so many years... I never expected to see such a situation in the end."

“I know you are a powerful magician, and these demonic infants are powerless against you, but you may not be fully aware of how terrifying they are.”

“If they escape from their friends, it will be a bloodbath.”

"If they are fed a large amount of blood, they will become more terrifying than their friends can imagine, and their friends may not be able to control them."

"Friend, can you tell me what you're planning to do with these demonic infants?"

Li Zhen looked at Xiao Yu: "There's one last demonic infant left. Once we catch it, I'd really like to have a talk with the master."

Sweating profusely, Chu Liu gripped Qing Hai's arm tightly: "Master..."

Qinghai said regretfully, "He was right, this little girl is the host of the evil spirit."

Xiao Yu, who was standing behind Chu Liu, suddenly changed her expression. Her hands, which had grown sharp nails at some point, suddenly grabbed Chu Liu's neck.

Qinghai, who was prepared, drew his magic sword in an instant.

But the red-eyed bat, which had been preparing for a long time, was faster than him.

Just as Xiaoyu's hands touched Chu Liu's neck, a red-eyed bat that flew down from the wall silently crashed into Xiaoyu, sending her flying.

The little fish rolled several meters before finally coming to a stop.

Her abdomen suddenly split open, revealing a demonic infant in a crimson state.

Seeing this, Huang Bin and Chu Liu's faces became even more terrified.

The Mahjong Ghost appeared next to Xiaoyu and clamped its jaws around Xiaoyu's neck.

A red-eyed bat swooped past the little fish.

The others only heard a piercing, nauseatingly sharp sound, but Xiaoyu seemed to have suffered a great injury, clutching her head and letting out a scream.

Even the demonic infant in her womb let out a strange cry.

Black blood can be seen flowing from the demon infant's ears.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the vampire zombie, exuding a murderous aura, stepped forward and reached out to grab the demonic infant.

With a sharp screech, two tentacles pierced through the belly of the little fish, instantly penetrating the vampire's abdomen.

This demonic infant is even more ferocious than the previous ones.

None of the previous ones could pierce the vampire zombie, but this demonic infant did.

The vampire roared to the sky.

An even more terrifying aura surged from its body, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard.

It grabbed the two tentacles and roughly ripped them off by the roots.

The demonic infant let out an even more pitiful cry.

Without any warning, Qinghai suddenly took several steps forward and slashed fiercely at the demonic infant inside the little fish's belly with his unsheathed magic sword...
