The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 291 The Shock of the Wunu and the Wounded Spying Opponent

Li Zhen walked slowly down the road, lost in thought.

The demon fetus came running from a distance and hopped onto Li Zhen's shoulder.

It had just been struck by lightning, and although it had already recovered to its waist, its newly grown body was now charred black and emitted a foul burnt smell.

Although the lightning bolt did cause it some damage, it wasn't significant.

This demonic fetus no longer posed any danger to Li Zhen, but he had to admit that it was incredibly resilient.

It truly lives up to its reputation as an evil creation of a branch of the mysterious White Lotus Sect.

After jumping around for a while, the demonic fetus's voice rang in Li Zhen's ears: "Did you kill the guy who struck me with lightning? I didn't smell any blood. Did you feed that guy to the zombies, but not to these moths? The bats didn't seem to eat him either..."

Li Zhen shook his head: "That person was just testing me. Why would I kill him? His identity is extraordinary, and I will definitely have to deal with them in the future. In your eyes, am I such a ruthless person?"

The demonic fetus said, "That guy shocked me with electricity for no reason, isn't that going too far? You should at least help me get revenge, right?"

Li Zhen laughed and said, "He probably mistook you for a ghost in the fog, thinking you came out of the fog or were attracted here, which is why he struck you with electricity. After our fight, he was more seriously injured than you."

"That's good. That fat guy was terrified by the lightning. He said he was being punished by the heavens and almost fainted. I told him that someone was using magic to harm us, and his face turned even uglier. He said something about us becoming the big villains, and then he muttered a few more words and ran home."

"They were probably frightened by the lightning."

"I think so too. That kid is a coward. I'm not even scared of being struck by lightning, but he's terrified of not being struck by lightning."

How long will it take for your injuries to fully heal?

"At the original pace, it would have recovered in a day or two, but now... it might take three or four days. It's a bit strange. My original consciousness used to be bewitching me, but now it doesn't say a word to me. I don't know if it's gone or what happened."

Detective Li warned the demonic fetus to be careful.

He already knew that the original demonic fetus had always been conscious within this body.

Now that it's gone, it might have been abandoned, or it might be hidden even deeper, and it might emerge at a crucial moment to affect the demonic fetus.

He suddenly looked to his right.

A beautifully made-up woman, accompanied by a group of maids, appeared in that direction.

She didn't dare get too close to Li Zhen, but instead stood at a distance and watched from afar.

Li Zhen had no interest in Wu Nu and didn't linger, leaving her with only his back turned.

The Wu Nu, standing still, watched Li Zhen disappear, her expression growing increasingly grave.

The maids behind her noticed her change in mood and became trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.

"Let's go." After a long while, the woman turned and walked back the way she came.

A maid whispered, "This person is so rude. He didn't even stop to see Her Majesty. Her Majesty is..."

The maid glanced at the servant girl.

The maid suddenly let out a scream.

The lantern in her hand burst into red flames and instantly swallowed her up.

In the blink of an eye, only a burning lantern remained on the spot.

The other maids trembled at the sight.

The Wu woman said coldly, "Don't talk about this person casually in the future. We're going back to Wushui. Close the gates. No one is allowed to leave without my permission, and we won't receive any visitors."

The maids responded in unison.

Wu Nu glanced back at the direction where Li Zhen had disappeared, her emotions growing even heavier.

is it him?
……

"Wow, that aura... he's definitely not a righteous person! Is there really such an evil being in this world?"

On the rooftop, Chi Lihui peered through binoculars at Li Zhen, who was surrounded by ghost moths in the distance, and sighed with trepidation.

The elderly man surnamed Huang standing next to him became even more uneasy.

"It's incredibly impolite to stand here looking at that person. If we offend them, we'll have nowhere to run," the old man warned helplessly.

Chi Lihui said, "We're so far apart, how could we be discovered? Sigh, if you ask me, it's worth it even if we were discovered. Just being able to see such a being from afar makes the trip worthwhile!"

"I've really learned a lot on this trip; I've seen more than on my previous trips! Hey, why does that figure look so familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?"

Through the telescope, he could only vaguely see a hazy figure shrouded in an extremely eerie black mist.

Just now, when the lightning flashed and the sky was as bright as day on the top of the fog mountain, he was able to see quite a few things with the help of this special telescope.

After the lightning stopped flashing atop the misty mountain, he managed to pinpoint the direction of the eerie aura and, with the help of the telescope, located its source in the distance. However, what he could see was not as clear as before.

Even though he was still far away, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the figure.

"This thing is really hard to use at night." Chi Lihui put down the binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and complained, "The light over there is quite bright, and the atmosphere is so eerie, I still can't see clearly. I'll give them my feedback when I get back and ask them to improve it."

He held the binoculars up to his eyes again and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Huang, do you want to take a look? This kind of scene is rare."

Hearing his words, the elderly man surnamed Huang became even more uneasy: "You'd better say less. I want to live a few more years."

Chi Lihui said dismissively, "What's wrong with me saying a few more words? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have run to the top of the mountain to watch them fight."

Recalling the magnificent scene he witnessed here, he couldn't help but say, "Wasn't it really the old Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain who was there just now? That thunder was terrifying; it felt like the Thunder God had descended to earth."

The old man surnamed Huang shook his head: "Impossible. The old Celestial Master hasn't left Longhu Mountain for more than 20 years. He won't come down from the mountain easily."

Chi Lihui added, "Judging from his appearance, he seems to be unharmed. Could it be that Longhu Mountain lost? Will the Old Celestial Master show up to intimidate these villains?"

"Where did this petty scoundrel come from?" The old man surnamed Huang rolled his eyes. "Changshan is in such a state that few people dare to make a move. With the reputation of Longhu Mountain, who would dare to be disrespectful? These days, Longhu Mountain is the highest mountain in the circle. Except for... this guy who suddenly appeared, no one dares to provoke him."

"That's true, Longhu Mountain is, after all..."

Suddenly, the binoculars in Chi Lihui's hand exploded.

He was thrown backward as if he had been hit hard, crashing heavily into a metal pipe on a rooftop, denting the pipe.

The elderly man surnamed Huang was startled and quickly ran towards Chi Lihui.

After checking Chi Lihui's body, he found that Chi Lihui had only suffered some superficial injuries, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Lihui coughed up a mouthful of blood, a morbid excitement appearing on his face. He stammered, "This is the feeling...this is it...it's so exciting! Uncle Huang, this guy is so strong! Just one look at me and I can't take it! I...my body is trembling! So strong! This is what I've been pursuing...pursuing my goal! I declare, I've found my ultimate goal!"

"Don't say anything more, or you'll anger someone and they might just strangle us both." The old man surnamed Huang, speechless, covered Chi Lihui's mouth and dragged him downstairs.

He breathed a sigh of relief after running downstairs and finding no danger.

Young people are really a handful...

The elderly man surnamed Huang ignored Chi Lihui's weak protests, threw Chi Lihui into the car, and drove the car out of Dongyang City.

……

Li Zhen looked away.

Many people came to Dongyang City, and some even dared to spy on him.

Although the distance was far, he sensed a familiar aura from the person he had just met.

It seems to be that young man surnamed Chi whom he had met before, the one who could summon the White Crane Boy?

Thinking of this person, Li Zhen suddenly remembered a question: the white crane boy that the other party invited seemed to be a god, and a god belonging to the underworld.

So, what is the current state of the White Crane Boy?
When you see that armored ghost again, have it investigate.

Li Zhen doesn't actually want to think about too many things right now.

It won't be long before he's teleported to the mission world.

His method of sublimating evil spirits using the Five Elements is progressing towards perfection, and his focus is entirely on this direction.

If he can finally cross that threshold, all the secrets will be revealed to him; if he cannot, he will be reduced to ashes, and knowing the secrets will be of no use to him.

Therefore, even though he has become this strong, Li Zhen has no interest in showing off.

What he needs to do now is to transform everything into his own strength and begin preparing for the final tribulation.

The demon fetus suddenly said to Li Zhen, "Some of these guys are being naughty, shall I go and eat them?"

Li Zhen glanced at it but didn't say anything.

The demonic fetus circled around and said, "The mist has reappeared, and some ghosts have come from the side. Can I just eat those that are not behaving properly? That way, I'll definitely be able to recover sooner."

After a while, Li Zhen nodded: "Take the red-eyed bats with you. Any bats that smell of blood or have a grudge can be eaten. Try to clean up Dongyang City before dawn tomorrow. I don't want to see news reports of ghosts injuring people tomorrow."

The demon fetus agreed and was about to jump off Li Zhen's shoulder when it suddenly asked, "What should I do if those Taoist priests are doing the same thing?"

“Tell them that I told you to do it,” Li Zhen said. “They won’t fight with you, and you shouldn’t try to eat them.”

The demonic fetus disappeared from Li Zhen's shoulder.

The red-eyed bat circled above Li Zhen's head once before rushing towards Dongyang City.

Li Zhen continued walking forward.

He came down from the mountain, deliberately revealing his figure, in order to intimidate those restless creatures, declare that he was safe, and tell them that this was his territory.

The demonic fetuses he sent out probably didn't dare to target him.

After passing through a secluded spot, Li Zhen unleashed a powerful attack, severely injuring all the onlookers.

Sensing that no one dared to spy on him, he dispelled his evil aura and quickly headed home with his many ghost-faced moths.

It's nighttime now, and as long as he's careful, no one will be able to find him.

As Li Zhen returned to his doorstep, he heard Li Xiangwen's voice again in his mind.

After giving a few words of response, Li Zhen walked into the house, seemingly lost in thought.

After his primordial spirit underwent changes, it developed some special abilities.

Li Zhen hasn't had time to study this yet.

After returning to the real world, he tried to figure out how to deal with the effects of the anomaly.

Now is the time to examine the changes in your primordial spirit.

Before entering the mission world last time, Li Zhen had the idea of ​​creating his own Gu technique with himself as the core.

Once his primordial spirit becomes more powerful, this idea will certainly be more easily realized.

At his level, he also needs to create something of his own.

Li Zhen had a gut feeling that if he didn't have his own things and relied on others for everything, his future path might not be smooth.

Li Zhen also considered creating his own Gu technique as a necessary measure to deal with the great calamity to come.

He'd left that Gu clan patriarch in a corner of the basement for a while now; it was time to go check on his work…

After sending the swarm of ghost moths back to the basement, Li Zhen opened the door to his house.

Upon hearing the door open, Fatty Huang immediately ran out of the house.

Seeing that Li Zhen was unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Where did you go? There was such a big thunder just now, how did you get out? I didn't see you when I came here, it scared me half to death."

Li Zhen laughed and said, "The lightning just now was abnormal, so I went outside to take a look."

"Of course it's not normal!" Fatty Huang said, still shaken. "When did so many lightning bolts appear on the top of Fog Mountain? That was terrifying! Did you see it? One after another, it was no different from daytime up there. I think the lightning must have sheared off a layer of the mountain! I'll go up and take a look when I have time in a few days."

"That Ghost Brother didn't come back either? Let me tell you, just before, before there was any thunder on Fog Mountain, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck right next to me, hitting Ghost Brother pretty badly!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke: "I was terrified at the time. When I came to my senses, I thought Ghost Brother had been killed on the spot, but who knew he was still alive!"

"I said, aren't those kinds of beings most afraid of lightning? How come not a single bolt of lightning killed Ghost Bro?"

Looking around, Fatty Huang quickly added, "I'm not cursing Ghost Brother to die, I'm just genuinely curious, is Ghost Brother really that scary?"

Li Zhen nodded: "It's not that scary, but it has a strong ability to survive. Ordinary things can hardly kill it. Heavenly lightning does restrain it. If it were hit seven or eight times, it wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"That was too powerful!" Fatty Huang scratched his head. "I was terrified by that lightning, but then I thought, aren't lightning strikes only the most heinous villains? I almost got struck by lightning, so does that mean I'm considered a villain too?"

"The more I think about it, the more panicked I get, so I rushed here to see you. I've definitely been dragged into this! In my whole life... except for a few days ago... sigh, do you think what I did was wrong? You know about that incident, right?"

After exchanging a few words with Fatty Huang and telling him to go and rest, Li Zhen went into the basement.
