All Heavens: Starting with Panlong's Transcendence, Devouring All Heavens

Chapter 149 Visiting Yan Chixia, the Evil Ghost Comes Knocking

The faceless man slowly floated to A-Qiang's side, and then he placed one hand on A-Qiang's head.

An invisible wave flowed from his hand into Ah Qiang's body, causing Ah Qiang to roar in pain. But the Faceless General remained unmoved, continuing to perform his soul-searching technique.

For a moment, only Ah Qiang's painful wails echoed throughout the palace, and the many ghost messengers remained silent as if trembling in fear.

They knew how vicious the method of soul searching was; it was almost like slowly torturing the soul, and the pain was unimaginable.

Time slowly passed, and a smile gradually appeared on the faceless general's face: "So you really killed the Soul Reaper, and you had accomplices too... Yan Chixia... Lin En... Zhi Qiu Yiye..."

Ah Qiang was laid down like a slaughtered wild dog. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, everyone who saw him would probably have thought he was dead.

"Lock him up. Once the other three are captured, take them all back to the underworld for Lord Black Mountain to deal with!" The Faceless General calmly ordered, "You nine, go now and capture all three!"

"Yes, Lord Ghost General!" The nine ghostly figures, each with a different appearance, answered in unison.

……

"My friend should still be nearby!" Lynn said with a smile, meeting the longing in the Empty Prince's eyes. "Let's go find him now!"

Yan Chixia said he would take Ning Caichen as his disciple and then leave with him, so they probably wouldn't go too far from Qiantang. With the help of government intelligence, they could find each other quickly.

The Empty Prince immediately nodded: "Good! With the help of the Xuanyuan Sword, we'll have a much better chance of killing that centipede demon!"

To their surprise, after they left the restaurant, Lynn looked up and saw a bearded swordsman and a pale-faced scholar, none other than Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen. He hadn't expected that these two would also come to Qiantang.

The four of them immediately found a restaurant and continued their conversation.

Lin En then learned the reason why Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen came to Qiantang. It turned out that the money exchange that Ning Caichen had entrusted to collect debts in Jinhua was in Qiantang. Now that Ning Caichen had finished collecting the debts, he naturally had to return to Qiantang to return the money to the money exchange.

Ning Caichen's eyes gleamed with longing: "After that, I'll prepare to follow my master into the Daoist path!"

Lynn nodded, then looked at Yan Chixia and said, "Hero Yan, do you still remember the centipede demon that Daoist Zhi Qiu mentioned, the one that devoured the dynasty's fortune and wreaked havoc on the world?"

Yan Chixia nodded, his eyes filled with resentment: "It's a pity my strength is too weak to rid the world of this demon!"

Lynn chuckled and pointed to the Void Prince beside him, saying, "Hero Yan, let me introduce you. This is the exorcist known as the 'Void Prince,' the greatest swordsman in the world. His Void Sword Technique is unparalleled!"

"Ahem... Being the best in the world is just an empty title... Being number one is very empty and lonely..." The Empty Prince shook his fan and put on an act again.

Lynn was already used to it: "The Empty Prince and I have decided to head north and eliminate this demon!"

"In that case, it would be the best possible outcome!" Yan Chixia's face showed admiration upon hearing Lin En's words.

"However, we suspect that the centipede demon may have already mastered the 'Void Dharma Form.' To kill this demon, we must first break its Dharma Form!" Lynn continued, "I hope to borrow Master Yan's Xuanyuan Sword, or perhaps ask Master Yan to join us in killing this demon!"

"Alright, no problem!" Yan Chixia readily took out the Demon-Slaying Sword from his back: "This sword is the Emperor's personal sword, meant to protect the human race. How could I, Yan, refuse to rid the world of a demon!"

Although he already knew that Yan Chixia wouldn't refuse to lend the sword given his personality, Lin En was still overjoyed to see that Yan Chixia had actually lent out the Xuanyuan Sword: "Excellent! Hero Yan truly lives up to his reputation as a legitimate successor of the Xuanmen sect!"

The borrowed Xuanyuan Sword was naturally intended for the use of the Empty Void Prince. Lynn would not touch it; as a zombie, he would likely be killed if he tried to touch the Emperor's sword.

After finalizing the matter of borrowing the sword, the group chatted about other interesting things. When they heard that Lynn had also gone out to sea and killed a dragon during this time, Yan Chixia and the other man were slightly surprised.

They didn't experience that many things; they simply traveled from Jinhua back to Qiantang.

"Hey! Brother Ning! Long time no see, where have you been? Hahaha..." Just as the group was chatting, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a scholar in a green robe walked over.

Ning Caichen turned around and recognized the person, and couldn't help but smile: "So it's Brother Xu! I have a long story to tell..."

This "Brother Xu" chatted with Ning Caichen for a few moments, then pointed to a young woman in white and a young girl in blue sitting smiling to the side and said, "This is my roommate, and also my sister!"

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, this is Brother Ning Caichen, we've been classmates and friends for many years!"

"Oh?" Lynn looked up at the two women and saw Xiaobai sitting quietly to one side, while Xiaoqing was whispering something in her ear, occasionally letting out a silvery smile.

He looked at the scholar chatting enthusiastically with Ning Caichen with a strange expression. It seemed that this was the famous "Snake Charmer" Xu Xian.

But now that Fahai has been beaten to death by him, no one will interfere with his happy life with Bai Suzhen anymore. Perhaps he can even have both sisters and enjoy boundless happiness!

"What? Brother Ning, you're not taking the imperial examinations anymore? You're going to become a Taoist priest?" Xu Xian exclaimed in shock. "With your literary talent, passing the examinations is only a matter of time. Why are you going to become a Taoist priest?!"

……

Ning Caichen and Xu Xian talked for a long time before taking their leave.

Lynn watched the three figures disappear, his expression complex. Both snake demons were powerful demons at the Nascent Soul stage; if he could kill them, he would gain 20 Origin Points, bringing him close to leveling up.

"Never mind!" He shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

After all, these two snake demons hadn't done anything evil or harmful to humans, so for him to kill them for no reason was a bit too unreasonable.

……

There was no rush to kill the centipede demon. That evening, the four of them, guided by Ning Caichen, rented a boat and went boating on the lake.

The moonlight spilled onto the lake, like countless golden threads.

"Such a scene!" The Empty Prince waved his fan and swayed his head slightly, about to recite a poem, when he saw several ghostly figures land on the boat one after another.

He was taken aback: "This minotaur brother, you...?"

Before the Empty Prince could finish speaking, screams erupted from inside the cabin. Then, a figure shrouded in black robes emerged, carrying a horse-faced demon in his hand. *Thud!*

Lynn crushed the horse-faced demon in his hand, gaining 10 Source Points. He looked at the remaining four demons: "Are you subordinates of the Black Mountain Demon?"

It sounded like a question, but the tone was extremely certain!

When they saw Lynn smash the horse-faced demon who had boarded the ship first, the remaining four evil spirits immediately became serious. Before they came, they had no idea that Lynn had broken through to become a Nascent Soul cultivator in such a short time.

"You killed the Soul-Snatcher, and now you've killed the Horse-Face Envoy! No one in heaven or on earth can save you!" the Ox-Head Envoy said sinisterly. "You'd better bind your hands and come with us to the underworld to be dealt with by Lord Black Mountain! Otherwise, your death will be more cruel than you can imagine!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Lynn looked at him. "I think the hatred between us isn't insurmountable."

The bull-headed envoy was taken aback: "How do we resolve this?"

"That means I'll kill you all!" Lynn said, and pounced on you instantly.

After adding points again, his cultivation level has reached Green Zombie Bronze Corpse (82/100). He's only one step away from leveling up, and his strength is far beyond what these ghost messengers in front of him can match.

Even though these ghost messengers used all their skills, they still couldn't escape being beaten to a pulp by his copper fist!

"Oh, so it was you who captured Ah Qiang!" Lynn nodded and smashed the only surviving Minotaur to pieces.

Add 40 to the source point!

"If I'd known these guys were coming to deliver food, I wouldn't have wasted my breath on Young Master Void!" Lynn stared speechlessly at the semi-transparent panel. "Let's not upgrade yet. Let's team up with Young Master Void to kill that 'Faceless General' and get enough Origin Points before upgrading 'Golden-Winged Moon Corpse'! The further we go, the harder it is to get Origin Points!"

Realm: Green Zombie Bronze Corpse (99/100). Origin Points: 23.

……

"Brother Lin, what's going on?" Yan Chixia walked out of the cabin with a solemn expression.

Lynn shook his head helplessly: "Our killing of the Soul-Stealing Envoy has been exposed. These evil spirits have come to take us to the underworld! Ah Qiang has already been captured by them, and four more evil spirits have gone to capture Zhi Qiu Yi Ye!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia's expression darkened, and he sighed, "Alas! We've offended the Black Mountain Demon; I'm afraid we won't survive."

The Void Prince remained silent. He had some confidence in dealing with a powerful demon like the Centipede Demon, a Void Returning Realm cultivator, with the Demon-Slaying Sword in hand. But against a Dao Integration Realm demon king like the Black Mountain Demon, no matter how much he liked to pretend, he knew he was no match for the Black Mountain Demon.

What does it mean to be in harmony with the Dao?

That person had comprehended the laws and was just one step away from transcending the tribulation and becoming an immortal!

These little guys can't pull off a scam!

"Don't worry! With me here, that Black Mountain Demon doesn't have the right to be arrogant!" Lynn didn't take the Black Mountain Demon seriously at all. "I've already found out the location of the Faceless General from that Minotaur! Let's go kill the Faceless General now and rescue Ah Qiang while we're at it!"

Having said that, Lynn looked at the Empty Prince: "Empty Prince, would you be willing to come along?"

The Void Prince didn't care at all: "Go, of course I'll go! I haven't killed a demon in the Returning Void Realm yet, and I'm going to use this demon as a sacrifice for my sword!"

"Alright! Let's meet this evil spirit from the Void Return Realm together!"

……

Inside the eerie temple, besides the dying Ah Qiang, there was now Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, bound hand and foot, yet still cursing, "You demons and monsters! What kind of skill is a sneak attack? Do you dare to fight me fair and square!"

"demon!"

……

Annoyed by what he heard, the Faceless General ordered his evil minions, "Go and gag him!"

"yes!"

"Why haven't the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guards I sent to capture Yan Chixia returned yet?" The Faceless General felt a strange sense of irritation rising within him.

At that very moment—

"Buzz~~"

The entire world seemed to tremble as a flying sword pierced through the palace gate, heading straight for the Faceless General!

"Hmm?" The faceless general slightly turned his body to dodge the flying sword. His eyeless face calmly looked out of the palace and saw four maids carrying a sedan chair from a distance.

A young man with dark circles under his eyes, dressed in a white shirt, sat in the sedan chair!

Seeing that the Faceless General had easily dodged the flying sword, the Void Prince flicked his right hand, and a small sword that looked like a toy flew out of the sword box in his hand. It grew in the air and transformed into a huge flying sword, carrying a terrifying shriek, and slashed fiercely at the Faceless General!

"Hmph! A mere Nascent Soul cultivator!" The Faceless General's voice was filled with disdain. With a casual flick of his hand, he easily swept the flying sword away.

Soon, dozens of flying swords flew out of the Void Prince's sword box one after another, roaring as they slashed towards the Faceless General!

The Faceless General remained unconcerned, his voice chilling: "Youngster, once I capture you, I'll show you what happens to those who provoke me!"

He neither dodged nor evaded; instead, his sleeves inflated like balloons, and he charged straight at the dozens of flying swords. The swords, upon hitting his inflated sleeves, bounced off as if they had struck an impenetrable wall.

Just as the Faceless One was about to approach the Void Prince, the Void Prince took a deep breath and then flicked out the last flying sword from the sword box. It was the Emperor's sword that Yan Chixia had temporarily lent him—the Xuanyuan Sword!

The dozens of flying swords he had previously unleashed were actually a feint. He knew that with his own strength, he was absolutely incapable of harming the Faceless General. So he attacked first with his own flying swords to lull the Faceless General into a false sense of security. Once the Faceless General was close enough to him that he could no longer dodge, he would then unleash the Xuanyuan Sword!

"boom!"

The Xuanyuan Sword whistled through the air, transforming into a giant sword three feet three inches and three fen long. In the blink of an eye, it struck the swollen Faceless General directly!

The Faceless General didn't care at all; he could almost see the Void Prince wailing under his clutches.

To his surprise, the sword pierced his swollen robe and then tore it through!

"How is this possible..." Before the Faceless General could react, the Xuanyuan Sword had already pierced his ghostly body, and the aura of the Human Emperor who slays demons attached to it was frantically destroying his body.

"Ah!" Faceless roared in pain as his once swollen body deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon.

Faceless reached out to try to pull out the Xuanyuan Sword that was stuck in his body, but at that moment, a dark shadow emerged from the soil beneath his feet, grabbed his feet, and pulled him to the ground!

then--

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The giant fist, carrying the power to break magic, slammed into the Faceless General's body like a meteor falling to earth!
