Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 111 Silencing
The tiny grains of incense burner sand embedded themselves into Shi Jian's flesh. He felt the chilling aura contained within the sand and was horrified by its power. Instinctively, he channeled all his magical power, made hand seals, leaped up, and slammed his feet heavily on the ground, unleashing his thunder magic to its fullest extent. He roared, "Get out here!"

Because of his practice of the Lightning Thunder Fist, his magical power carries a trace of lightning attribute.

With a series of whooshing sounds, dense sand gushed out from his skin and flesh, leaving numerous small, bloody holes in the walls, pillars, tables, and chairs of the mortuary.

Shi Jian knew he had met a tough opponent, and only by opening the altar could he increase his chances of winning.

Lin Jiu loved setting up altars, so Shi Jian rushed to the side room to find the altar. He searched only two rooms before finding the altar that Lin Jiu usually used for his rituals.

He suddenly grabbed the two triangular command flags on the altar, spun around like a windmill, and chanted: "The Yin River cracks, the Yellow Springs open, the withered bones for miles around are at my command, so be it!"

In the early years of the Republic of China, disasters were frequent, and corpses were hidden in many places.

As soon as Shi Jian issued his decree, wailing and howling filled the air outside Liu Family Town. The mass graves and cemeteries, with corpses still bearing some flesh and blood, all stood up and surged into the gates of Liu Family Town in a mighty torrent...

Li Xuan, who was standing on the street opening the altar, heard the sound and turned around. He saw a group of mutilated and swaying corpses coming towards him, roughly three or four hundred in number.

Needless to say, this was definitely Shi Jian's doing, because there was a similar scene in the movie.

In "The Ultimate Zombie," Shi Jian tolerates his apprentice Shi Shaojian's criminal activities without intervening. Later, his son is murdered, and filled with resentment, he transforms Shi Shaojian into a zombie to seek revenge. However, Lin Jiu kills him instead. Enraged, Shi Jian opens an altar, awakening a large number of corpses to attack the mortuary in an attempt to avenge his family. But all of this only happens after Shi Shaojian has already been killed…

But given the current plot progression, it's clear that Shi Shaojian isn't dead yet. Why is Shi Shaojian suddenly going crazy?
Did he have a premonition that he was going to get him?
At this moment, the black-clad ghost guards, who were lying on the ground trembling, saw so many corpses pouring in and hurriedly raised their hands: "Your Honor, I have a mourning stick that can deal with these corpses."

It was first murdered by Shi Jian to silence it, and thought its fate was sealed. But then it was inexplicably dragged here by the Fengdu judge. It was truly caught between a rock and a hard place. Now, seeing these corpses attacking the altar, it suddenly felt a chance to redeem itself.

Lu Jian snorted coldly, turned around and slashed out with his sword, cutting the corpses in half at the waist. They were just walking corpses forcibly awakened by magic and were not worth worrying about.

He turned to look at Li Xuan, giving the judge due respect and dignity as required by procedure, and then slowly said, "The one who attacked the altar is of unfathomable cultivation. Wang An and I are merely messengers and envoys, and it is difficult for us to contend with him. We should do our best to buy you time and quickly invite the gods to come and help you in the battle."

Li Xuan thought the same thing and immediately began to search through the Black Law to find out which person should be invited to take the field.

Black law stipulates specific conditions for invoking spirits and deities. For example: [Judges may not use the spirits of Ma and Song unless they are capturing spirits capable of transformation into flying, water, or fire, or demons that communicate with the lower realms.] [Judges may not use the talismanic messengers Aiji, Heida, and Yingziyang unless they are pursuing and capturing ghosts that have fled far away.]

He thought for a moment, then opened the Taoist classics bestowed by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak and the Great Emperor of the Northern Purple Palace. Remembering that Shi Jian mainly practiced thunder magic, he began to search for relevant content.

The judges of Fengdu are under the jurisdiction of the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, who in turn is an incarnation of the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei.

Ziwei governs the Four Saints of the North Pole, one of whom is Marshal Tianpeng. Tianpeng is in charge of the North Pole Exorcism Institute, which is the judicial department. According to the Tianpeng Law, it supervises and judges criminal ghosts and gods, governs the underworld and the human world, commands troops to enforce the law, saves the evil spirits, prohibits all killings, promotes the Yang and spreads the culture, and protects the mountains and rivers.

Many Taoist scriptures contain content related to thunder magic practices.

However, there is no mention of directly summoning the Thunder Gods, suggesting that the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court is a rather special and independent entity.

Although the Great Emperor of the North Pole is the master of all stars, the second ruler of the Three Realms, and the core of power, he is in charge of the order of stars and the investigation of gods and spirits. Although he includes the sun, moon, stars, wind, thunder, rain and lightning, this is still part of the order of star operation and does not mean that he has the authority to directly control the Thunder Department.

Snapped! ! !
clap clap clap!
Blue lightning flashed at the end of the street, and Shi Jian's clothes billowed like sails without wind. His eyes were gloomy, and he strode toward the altar, his right hand holding lightning energy.

He knew the corpses couldn't defeat the Fengdu Judge, so he only used them to buy time while he personally raised his Thunder Magic to its peak and came to attack! Lu Jian and Wang An saw that the main figures had arrived, and the two crossed their swords before the altar, saying in unison, "Before the Fengdu altar, the Chief Clerk is in charge; you must not be presumptuous!"

Shi Jian's gaze first fell on Lin Jiu, who was holding Qiu Sheng, then on the foolish Wen Cai, and finally on Lu Jian and Wang An. He said coldly, "The mortal world is in chaos. People are being slaughtered day and night, with tens of thousands dead and injured. Your so-called laws cannot bring peace to the world, yet they are so harsh on us cultivators. You are simply ignorant of the consequences and make a laughing stock of yourselves..."

He looked down on these two clerks.

At this moment, he only wanted to finish the battle quickly, so he immediately activated his thunder magic. In an instant, dark clouds rolled in the sky, lightning snakes danced wildly, and thunder roared deafeningly!
"Master Uncle, you look so impressive!"

When Wen Cai saw Shi Jian summon heavenly thunder, a terrifying scene, he couldn't help but praise it regardless of the occasion.

"Fool, you're just wasting food by living."

Shi Jian already disliked Lin Jiu's two disciples, especially this Wen Cai! He really didn't know what Lin Jiu was thinking, to choose such a stupid idiot as a disciple, and even begged the sect leader to record his name in the Maoshan register! If he were to choose a disciple, this guy wouldn't even be qualified to cook or tend the fire at Maoshan!

With a casual wave of his hand, a bolt of lightning as thick as a finger struck Wen Cai's skull! Boom!! With a deafening roar, Wen Cai's head exploded like a watermelon.

We've already killed the ghost messengers, so what's killing a fool?

However, this move completely baffled Li Xuan and Lin Jiu.

Li Xuan quickly realized that Shi Jian was just throwing caution to the wind and, seeing Wen Cai's foolish behavior, suddenly developed a "dislike for stupidity" and killed him without thinking...

Qiu Sheng in Lin Jiu's arms had already died, but in front of the Fengdu altar, his soul was imprisoned in place and unable to move, tormented by the blurred line between life and death.

Before his grief had subsided, he saw Shi Jian appear and kill his only disciple, Wen Cai. Instantly, his throat tasted blood, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes widened in horror as he roared, "Shi Jian, what are you doing!"

Shi Jian coldly said, "Lin Fengjiao, you think you're so high and mighty, but you're actually a blockhead! Do you know that the Ghost Parade on the 15th of the seventh month is a trap set by underworld ghost messengers who covet your position as a bank manager, to lure your two stupid apprentices into it!"
I never imagined that after decades of cultivation, you wouldn't be able to see through this trick... Your calamity wasn't mine, but rather the fault of your two disciples!

The events of the night of July 15th flashed through Lin Jiu's mind.

The mysterious appearance of the female ghost Xiaoli, the bewitching of Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, the easy defeat of the ghost messengers by a single talisman, the night parade of a hundred ghosts, the ghost messengers demanding bribes and questioning the authorities...

His hands trembled as he said, "Now that things have come to this, why did you still kill Wencai?"

Shi Jian chuckled and said, "Lin Fengjiao, you knew that the judges of Fengdu were watching you, yet you still gathered your fellow disciples to take the blame for you. Do you know how many people this has implicated! Especially me..."

I cannot have any stain on my record, nor can I go to Iron Mountain, so everyone present today must be utterly terrified! Whether you're the judge of Fengdu or the clerk, you'll have to endure the Lightning Bolt Fist first!

　I'm posting one now, this is the third update. There will be two more tonight.
