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

Chapter 357 The Ritual in the Chemical Plant

Footsteps approached from afar, and the tengu knew it was Li Xuan coming. It resigned itself to its fate, closed its eyes, and awaited its death.

The elusive demon struggled to turn to look at Li Xuan's face and said, "We are also living beings. Eating people is simply following the natural cycle of the universe. Just like tigers eat sheep, sheep eat grass, and grass consumes all things in turn, in an endless cycle. What's wrong with that? We haven't done anything wrong at all..."

Having experienced these alternate worlds, Li Xuan had heard far too many similar comments.

He didn't want to argue with this guy, so he chanted the True Official Incantation, and two iron chains reached into the bodies of the tengu and the beautiful boy "Nurarihyon," extracting their souls...

Return to the altar.

Li Xuan collected all the souls of the hundred ghosts into the gourd, but temporarily left the soul of the slippery ghost.

The altar was open anyway, so he dipped his brush in cinnabar and mixed it with his magic to write a mantra on the brow of the elusive ghost's soul. This mantra required the endorsement of Fengdu and the position of a true official as a medium for the soul to utter the mantra, thus possessing a trace of the authority of the "Mirror of Karma".

The True Official Scripture states that True Officials, when walking among humans, are protected from being deceived by wandering ghosts and spirits, and thus they obtain the authority of "True Words and Incantations".

The sly-looking man asked blankly, "What do you want to ask?"

Li Xuan asked, "Where is this human head balloon curse ritual you set up located? And what is the relic that is the core of the ritual?"

The sly demon said, "The ritual isn't here. It's inside a dilapidated chemical plant in Okinawa, an artifact from the ruins... I don't know what it is. It looks like a round stone shaped like a balloon, and it possesses very strong spiritual power, which is why it was used as the energy source for the ritual..."

Li Xuan understood what was going on, but he hadn't expected the ceremony to be so far away, in Okinawa...

He collected the spirits of the Nurarihyon and planned to send them all to Fengdu for research.

The people of Fengdu seem quite interested in the demons and monsters of the various worlds. For example, in the world of "The Graveyard," Marshal Tianpeng showed curiosity towards Ruan Shiyin. And in the world of "Constantine," the angel Gabriel elicited the same reaction from the censors of the Fengdu Censorate as Marshal Tianpeng…

The crimson gourd absorbed the energy all night until dawn, when only a small portion of the balloons floating in the air remained.

This "small portion" of balloons numbered in the tens of thousands, and they were the ones that took lives. Because of the interference from the corpses, the crimson gourd prioritized absorbing the balloons that hadn't yet killed anyone...

It was completely light.

Li Xuan found a curse eruption vent in the woods.

In other words, Nurarihyon set up a ritual inside the Okinawa Chemical Plant, connecting it through an invisible "pipeline" to exert the power of the ritual on the city, which includes Kurozuchi Town and Shimokura Town.

He didn't rashly remove the vent, because its dissipation would cause the ceremony in Okinawa to erupt, creating even more human head balloons...

These balloons kill without regard to nationality; wherever they can reach, they will take lives regardless of skin color.

Reiko Yamano called and said, "Everything at school has been arranged. There are a lot fewer balloons with people's heads today. Did Lee Che-kun do that?"

There's no need to cover this up.

Li Xuan said, "Yes, we found the source of the curse and blocked it with a talisman. We're going to deal with the source now."

Reiko Yamano was surprised by Li Xuan's efficiency. The incident that happened just yesterday was already half resolved. Standing in the aisle outside the classroom, she said excitedly, "As expected of Li Xuan! Where is the source? I also want to contribute. I can't let you, a foreigner, do all the work..."

Li Xuan actually harbored some resentment towards the Japanese.

As he walked through this land, he felt inexplicably restless. The trials of the mortal world are what temper the heart, and what they temper is the ability to distinguish right from wrong!
Those who instigate wars and harbor ill intentions will be killed without hesitation once he discovers them, including Yamano Reiko, if she is only concerned with trivial matters and not with the greater good...

Reiko Yamano's voice came through the phone: "Hello, are you listening?" Li Xuan said, "It's best for me to handle this myself, so you don't need to come."

Turn off the phone.

It was already fully light. Apart from bloodstains and the messy traces of battle in the woods, Li Xuan had collected all the corpses of the hundred ghosts.

Rigang School is currently closed due to the presence of human-shaped balloons.

Li Xuan hailed a taxi and headed towards Okinawa. Perhaps because he was used to living in China, the journey of several hundred kilometers within a province, or even one or two thousand kilometers to other provinces, didn't seem like much.

The driver told him it was a long-distance trip, more than 200 kilometers away, and that he had to work overtime to get there, and that he had to report to the company before he could set off.

Taxi services are expensive in island nations; a 200-kilometer trip is a huge expense...

It's more comfortable and cost-effective for a driver to pick up passengers while driving around in towns than to take one long-distance fare at a time.

After reporting.

The taxi set off, and after nearly four hours of driving, we boarded a boat again before finally arriving at the remote area near the coastal town where the chemical plant, as mentioned by the cunning ghost, was located.

After receiving payment from Li Xuan, the driver looked out at the desolate factory area. Although it was nearly noon, a strange, chilling feeling crept into his heart...

He leaned out of the car window and said, "Sir, if I'm not mistaken, this is a long-abandoned chemical industrial plant. It's very dangerous for you to go in alone; there might be poisonous gas or something."

Li Xuan turned to look at the driver and smiled, "Thank you."

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't seem to be leaving, the driver shook his head, started the car, and drove away...

The factory area is very large, divided into several areas: A, B, C, D, and E. The area revealed by the slippery ghost is Factory 73 in area D. Li Xuan counted them one by one, and the moment he saw Factory 73, he felt a wave of malice wash over him.

This is not the malice of evil spirits or monsters, but the malice of nature.

Simply put, it is a toxic gas.

Li Xuan took out a gas mask and put it on. After thinking for a moment, he put on a full-body protective suit. Although he was immortal and his flesh and blood had the "tough life" bonus, being poisoned by chemicals would still burn his respiratory tract and lungs...

He walked inside.

Huge liquid tanks were everywhere, many of the pressure gauges showed zero pressure, and the ground was covered in a sticky, wet, black liquid...

Li Xuan heard voices coming from inside the factory.

He followed the sound and saw three gaunt monsters standing on several iron bridges. Their appearance was similar to that of the Nurarihyon, but they looked exceptionally old and sickly...

This is a slippery character with one woman and two men.

The female Nurarihyon looks like a woman in her seventies, with wrinkles on her face as if carved by a knife, and she could kill a fly with just a slight expression.

Looking at the bubbling pools beneath the iron bridge, she said, "What's going on? The power of the ritual is waning. Has something happened to them?"

The two cunning men, one very tall and one very short, picked up their phones and said, "With technology so advanced these days, why don't we just make a phone call and ask?"
