The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 177 Meeting with Nguyen Van Ho and Wesley

The Mahjong Ghost disappeared from the High Priest's side and reappeared standing between the High Priest and the mortar position. It flashed a few times and appeared next to the vehicle.

Most of the men brought by Nguyen Van Biu had already died from gunfire, many were wounded and lay on the ground groaning in pain, and a few fled in panic into the surrounding woods.

It is nighttime, and the little ghosts and mahjong ghosts are free to move about. No matter how those people try to escape, they cannot escape the pursuit of the little ghosts and mahjong ghosts.

Li Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked at his own body.

Perhaps because his body has not fully grown, he experiences mild pain all over his body whenever he moves, as if his joints are still being worked together.

In addition, his body also experiences pain when it rubs against the ground.

This slight pain did not affect his activities; on the contrary, it allowed Li Zhen to experience the pain that a normal body should have once again.

This body has no problems with movement, but it has changed compared to the original body, at least in terms of strength, it is much stronger than before.

Li Zhen noticed the change when he casually tossed Ruan Wenbiao into the air.

Arriving before the high priest, who lay lifeless on the ground, Li Zhen, who had been observing his own body, shifted his gaze and looked down at the high priest, who lay stiffly on the ground.

The high priest, his face filled with terror and trembling all over, managed to open his mouth and utter a dry, hoarse voice: "Don't... kill me..."

Li Zhen raised his hand and dripped the sticky fluid, stained with his blood, from his own body onto the wound on the high priest's face.

The high priest's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a painful "hoarse" sound.

The maggots in the wound on his face were stimulated, wriggled violently, and grew larger and more numerous at a visible speed.

The wound on the high priest's face continued to widen and deepen.

After the newly born maggots finished eating the surface layer of rotten flesh on the wound, they began to gnaw on the new flesh and blood on the high priest's face, turning the wound from a rotten color to a scarlet red.

These maggots were far more vigorous and destructive than ordinary maggots. In a short time, they gnawed away half of the high priest's face, leaving his teeth exposed to the air.

The high priest's screams grew increasingly hoarse.

Yuan Zhenxia and Bazhu watched this cruel scene from afar.

Seeing Li Zhen raise his head, Yuan Zhenxia asked, "Your body... doesn't seem to have fully recovered?"

Li Zhen nodded: "Being born prematurely will take some time to fully recover."

Yuan Zhenxia looked at the corpses on the ground and frowned, "These are the helpers the High Priest invited?"

“Yes.” Li Zhen looked at Yuan Zhenxia. “Do you know Wesley?”

After asking the question, Li Zhen suddenly realized something.

According to the plot of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley", Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley have met before and have a very close relationship, being both teacher and friend.

This is Yuan Zhenxia's first time visiting Southeast Asia.

If Li Zhen hadn't appeared, Yuan Zhenxia would have returned to Southeast Asia a few years later.

At that time, Wesley, who was both his mentor and friend, would come to Southeast Asia to help him.

However, Yuan Zhenxia is not mentioned at all in "The Wesley's Unholy Alliance".

So, in this mutated mission world that merges two movie worlds, what is the relationship between Wesley and Yuan Zhenxia?
Upon hearing this name, Yuan Zhenxia was taken aback: "I have long admired that gentleman, but I have never met him in person."

Li Zhen was somewhat surprised.

The world has changed a lot; even the original relationships between people have changed.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

However, this will not have a significant impact on his ability to complete the mission.

Li Zhen glanced at the high priest, whose face had been completely devoured and who had become powerless to struggle or scream, and walked towards the direction where the little devil was.

The boy told him that Ruan Wenbiao had some interesting people in his car.

Yuan Zhenxia followed behind Li Zhen and asked curiously, "Is this matter related to that gentleman?"

Li Zhen replied, "I heard that Wesley came to Southeast Asia and has some connections with these people."

Yuan Zhenxia said happily, "I have heard a lot about that gentleman's deeds. If I have the chance, I must meet that gentleman in person."

Arriving at the car that the little ghost had reported about having strange people, Li Zhen saw four figures who looked like feng shui masters sitting in the back of the car.

The group was terrified by the previous carnage, and then they were trapped in the car by the little devil, with no chance to escape. After the little devil left, they didn't dare to run away and could only hide in the car, trembling.

Upon seeing the terrifying-looking Li Zhen, one of the men immediately said, "We have no connection with Ruan Wenbiao. We are all... all feng shui masters. We only got on the bus because he threatened us."

"Are you all feng shui masters?" Li Zhen sized up the group.

The men nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, we are feng shui masters!"

“If this gentleman doesn’t believe us, he can ask Nguyen Van Biu.”

"It was Nguyen Van Biu who forced us to get into the car at gunpoint..."

Li Zhen withdrew his gaze and said to the group, "You all stay here for now and do not move, or you will bear the consequences."

He turned around and thoughtfully walked back to the side of the high priest, who was already on the verge of death.

Upon hearing that these people were feng shui masters, Li Zhen suddenly remembered the Mountain-Suppressing Mysterious Seal recorded in the second volume of the magic scroll he obtained from Changshan.

Regardless of whether what was suppressed there was a so-called "demon of fate," the fact that it had an impact on him indicates that there was a problem with that mysterious seal.

Before entering the mission world, Li Zhen was heading towards the location of those five mountains.

However, he himself was not very proficient in feng shui and formations, and the little knowledge he gained from those memories was only a superficial understanding of feng shui and formations.

If he were to reach the location of those five mountains, he would have to rely on his own strength to investigate and resolve any unforeseen events.

After meeting these feng shui masters, Li Zhen had a new idea—

Could you let these feng shui masters take a look at that "mountain-suppressing seal" and come up with a way to completely destroy what's suppressed inside?
Knowing that those people were feng shui masters, Li Zhen guessed how far the plot of "Wesley's Unholy Armor" had progressed.

In the movie, before seizing power, Ruan Wenhu hired a large number of feng shui masters to help him solve the problem that the Bawang Xiejia acupoint only had a 24-year lifespan. In the end, he killed all the feng shui masters to silence them.

Right now, Nguyen Van Ho is probably in the middle of recruiting feng shui masters everywhere.

As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. With so many famous feng shui masters and the upcoming arrival of Wesley, they're sure to give Li Zhen some surprises.

After dealing with the High Priest and the Gu Clan, I'll go see Ruan Wenhu and Wesley...

Suddenly, Li Zhen noticed something resembling an infant's hand beside the high priest. He bent down and turned towards it. The moment he touched it, his fingers recoiled as if he had been electrocuted.

This thing is definitely not simple...

Li Zhen didn't touch the thing for the time being, but instead summoned back the ghost fetus and the female demon who had just crawled out of the ruins.

Following Li Zhen's orders, the ghost fetus killed the high priest, who was barely clinging to life, and dragged the high priest's corpse behind Li Zhen, heading into the dense forest nearby.

The red-eyed bat, which was feeding, raised its head and stared at Nguyen Van Biu with its eerie eyes.

Ruan Wenbiao's face turned even paler as he wondered how much longer he would live.

Less than an hour later, Li Zhen emerged from the dense forest, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

Using the method of sacrifice, borrowing the power of evil spirits to strip away the soul, is much faster than using the original method of creating little ghosts to create ghosts.

The ghost fetus excitedly darted out of the dense forest behind Li Zhen and ran towards a prey.

The succubus followed Li Zhen at a leisurely pace.

Li Zhen raised his head and looked around.

The little devil and the mahjong devil haven't returned yet.

Yuan Zhenxia and Bazhu had disappeared without a trace; all he could see were ruins and corpses scattered on the ground.

The only survivor was Nguyen Van Biu, who didn't even dare to run away.

The red-eyed bat silently circled above Li Zhen's head and landed on a mutilated corpse not far from him.

Li Zhen subconsciously reached out and pressed his hand to his forehead. Only when he touched his forehead did he realize that his skin had not fully recovered.

With his arms hanging down, Li Zhen stood there for a long time without moving.

The high priest's memories contained a lot of information about the witchcraft of the Gu clan, but Li Zhen hadn't had time to digest the details of the witchcraft.

Based on the memories he had already reviewed, Li Zhen discovered that the witchcraft of the Gu Clan was extremely complex, including methods of raising Gu that were closer to Gu magic, as well as some forms of black magic and some witchcraft in the strict sense.

Unlike ordinary sorcerers, the Gu clan does not worship evil spirits. In other words, the evil spirits they worship are not the evil spirits described by ordinary sorcerers, but their ancestors, whom the Gu clan regards as evil gods.

The ancestors they feed with blood every year are the source of the power for the high priest's magic.

This kind of witchcraft is certainly not as powerful as the witchcraft that Li Zhen himself has practiced, but it is not without its advantages. The biggest advantage is that using this kind of witchcraft does not require paying too high a price.

After Li Zhenyi obtained the High Priest's memories, he thought to himself that in terms of evil and power, he was no less than the Gu Clan's ancestor. So, could he establish a new witchcraft based on himself, following the Gu Clan's witchcraft model?
If successful, it would not only reduce the backlash from the evil spirits, but also decrease his own dependence on them.

This requires careful consideration...

Now that the High Priest is dead, the mission is half complete; the remaining half is to annihilate the Gu Clan.

Li Zhen looked at his bloodied and mangled right arm, where the runes that had disappeared had reappeared.

Li Zhen felt the runes urging him on immediately after the high priest died.

He's already been in this world long enough; if he stays any longer, something bad might happen...

This was the meaning that the runes were vaguely conveying to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen had always been curious about what would happen if he had the opportunity to stay in a mission world for a long time, or even if he didn't choose to return.

It now seems unlikely that he won't return, because once the time is right, the runes will urge him to return.

What do bad things mean?
Putting that thought aside, Li Zhen began to consider the matter of annihilating the Gu clan.

Of course, destroying the Gu clan does not require wiping out the entire clan; it is sufficient to make the Gu clan cease to exist.

The goal can be achieved by killing all adult males of the Gu clan, taking away the Gu clan's ancestor, and erasing all records of witchcraft among the remaining members of the Gu clan.

Even if some people still identify themselves as members of the Gu clan in the future, the entire Gu clan will exist in name only.

This is Li Zhen's opinion.

If doing all this doesn't count as annihilating the Gu clan, then he'll have no choice but to adjust his methods and expand his killing targets.

In the storyline he remembered, the Gu clan had committed many atrocities, and killing a few more would not result in any wrongful deaths.

The problem is that Li Zhen wants to set aside some time to meet Ruan Wenhu and Wesley.

How to handle the time issues in between is the most important problem for Li Zhen to consider.

Yuan Zhenxia appeared from the direction of the Gu Clan's gathering place, ran to Li Zhen's side, and said to Li Zhen, "Bazhu is trying to appease the Gu Clan's families. The situation there is very chaotic. Do you have any suggestions?"

"The Gu Clan can no longer exist. I won't interfere with the others." Li Zhen used the palm leaf whip in his hand to pick up the thing that looked like a baby's hand.

Yuan Zhenxia breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Bazhu has to stay here to clean up this mess. Where are you going? Stay with the Gu Clan to see how things develop? Or..."

"I'm going to see Wesley and his elder brother, General Ruan." Li Zhen looked at Ruan Wenbiao, not hiding his plans.

Yuan Zhenxia's eyes lit up: "I'll go with you. I also want to meet that gentleman."

He scratched his head: "However, you killed so many of them here, they definitely won't let it go. It'll be quite troublesome once we get to their territory."

A faint smile appeared on Li Zhen's terrifying face: "I will be prepared."

As an important figure, General Ruan had many opportunities to appear in public, so getting his photo was a simple matter.

With Ruan Wenbiao in hand, it wouldn't be difficult to find out his birth date and time.

With Li Zhen's abilities, dealing with General Ruan wouldn't be difficult.

After making some preparations and leaving some backup plans, Li Zhen left the little ghost behind and, along with the Gu clan ancestor pulled from the ruins and the vampires, left the Gu clan's territory overnight.

The car he was driving was the same car that the feng shui masters were in.

At this point, the feng shui masters were all herded into the back of the car, where they stayed with the blood-soaked vampire.

The driver was Wesley, who left with Li Zhen.

The half-dead Ruan Wenbiao was also shoved into the car.

Li Zhen still needed him to guide him, so he didn't kill him for the time being.

As the car moved further and further away from the Gu Clan, Li Zhen, who was sitting alone in the back seat, closed his eyes and sensed his connection with the little ghost.

Only after realizing that his connection with the little ghost had always existed did Li Zhen feel relieved.

Of all the ghosts he kept, only the little ghost was the most intelligent and had the closest connection with him, making it the most suitable for assigning some of the more complex tasks...
