I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Rumble!

After the first bolt of lightning...

The second, the third, the fourth...

Nine bolts of lightning in total!

Each one is thicker and more powerful than the last!

Nine bolts of lightning struck the silver-armored corpse with pinpoint accuracy!

The silver-armored corpse didn't even have time to struggle before it was chopped into charcoal.

Then, the coke was chopped into fly ash.

Finally, even the ashes were shattered.

Completely annihilated.

Not even a trace was left.

After the nine bolts of lightning struck, the tomb returned to calm.

Only the lingering smell of burning in the air and the large hole blasted into the top of the tomb proved what had just happened.

The rest of the tomb, including the buried weapons, remained intact.

The lightning seemed to have eyes, striking only the silver-armored corpse and harming the others.

Such power stunned everyone.

Liu Zhenguo stared at Jin Hao with his mouth agape, then looked at the spot where the silver-armored corpse had just stood.

It was completely empty there.

Zhao Tieshan, Chen Jianguo, Aunt Hu...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The silver-armored corpse, which was so arrogant just moments ago, just like that...

That's all?

It was struck by a talisman and nine bolts of lightning, leaving not even ashes.

This……

What kind of power is that?!

Even immortal magic is nothing special, isn't it?!

Jin Hao was also stunned.

He looked at his hands, then at the empty tomb.

That talisman...

That's intense?

He had thought that at most, a lightning bolt would strike, and it would be good enough if it injured the silver-armored corpse.

It was cleaved in two and disappeared?

Not even ashes were left?

"Taoist...Taoist brother..."

Jin Hao muttered to himself.

"The talisman you drew... is just too amazing!"

At this moment, the shaman's eyes widened, and the way he looked at Jin Hao changed.

They had previously looked down on Jin Hao because he was just a newcomer, thinking that it was too frivolous for the Night's Watch to send such a greenhorn.

but now……

"That talisman just now..." A disciple of a shaman swallowed hard. "Was it thrown by this young man?"

"It seems so..."

"That power... even if my grandfather had an old spirit possess him, I'm afraid he couldn't withstand a single strike, right?"

"Let alone the entire route, it'd be tough even halfway there!"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Jin Hao.

Meanwhile, on the Night Watch side, Liu Zhenguo got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked over to Jin Hao.

A teammate ran over and helped Liu Zhenguo up.

"Boss, are you guys alright?"

Liu Zhenguo waved his hand, looking at Jin Hao with a complicated expression.

He walked up to Jin Hao and patted him on the shoulder.

"Jin Hao, that talisman from earlier... was it given to you by Master Li?"

Jin Hao nodded, still reeling from the shock.

"The Taoist priest said to use it when you encounter evil spirits."

Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath.

He glanced at the large hole in the ceiling of the tomb.

The first bolt of lightning blasted through a layer of soil and rock more than ten meters thick.

This power...

Let alone silver-armored corpses, even gold-armored corpses would have to kneel!

"What exactly is Master Li's level of cultivation?"

Liu Zhenguo muttered to himself.

He originally thought that he had already given Master Li a high enough evaluation.

But now it seems...

We underestimated it.

One talisman unleashed nine bolts of lightning, instantly annihilating the silver-armored corpse.

This method was completely beyond his comprehension.

"Old Liu, what do we do now?"

Zhao Tieshan walked over; he was badly injured, but he could still move.

Liu Zhenguo came to his senses.

"Go out first and report the situation here."

"Although the silver-armored corpse has been dealt with, there are still problems with this ancient tomb."

He looked at the corpse-raising array on the ground.

"This formation must be destroyed, otherwise it will breed evil spirits in the future."

Aunt Hu nodded.

"I'll handle it."

She instructed her disciple to take out a specially made medicinal powder and sprinkle it on the patterns of the array.

When the powder came into contact with the patterns, black smoke immediately rose, and the patterns were corroded and gradually disappeared.

The group left the tomb.

It was noon when we got back to the ground.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the trees, casting a warm glow.

But everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

What I just saw was so shocking.

"Jin Hao".

Liu Zhenguo pulled Jin Hao aside.

"Do you... still have any of those talismans?"

Jin Hao nodded and took out another Five Thunder Talisman from his pocket.

"The Taoist priest gave me two."

Liu Zhenguo's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.

"Keep this safe, and never use it lightly in the future."

He said seriously.

"This level of talisman is one less talisman available."

"Never waste time unless it's a matter of life and death."

Jin Hao nodded emphatically.

Of course he knew.

This powerful weapon must be kept to save one's life.

"By the way, those nine bolts of lightning just now made quite a commotion."

Liu Zhenguo looked up at the sky.

"It's likely that someone has already seen it."

……

indeed.

In Kitahara City, many people saw the nine bolts of lightning descending from the sky.

Although the distance was far, the sight of nine bolts of lightning striking down from a clear sky was so spectacular that it was impossible not to notice it.

Soon, the video was uploaded to the internet.

Nine bolts of lightning strike Kitahara City, suspected to be an immortal undergoing tribulation!

A bolt from the blue: a natural disaster or a miracle?

Paranormal Enthusiasts: This is a Sign of a Revitalization!

"..."

"Holy crap! What is this? Is it a tribulation?"

"Nine bolts of heavenly lightning—which fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation?"

"This is from Kitahara City. I saw it with my own eyes, it was absolutely stunning!"

"The revival of spiritual energy is confirmed!"

"..."

Various headlines and speculations are circulating wildly online.

The Night's Watch headquarters took notice immediately.

President Qin watched the video and remained silent for a full ten minutes.

Then, he dialed Liu Zhenguo's number.

"Zhenguo, those nine bolts of lightning... were they Master Li's talismans?"

"Yes." Liu Zhenguo reported truthfully, "Jin Hao used the Five Thunder Talisman given by Master Li to directly summon nine heavenly thunderbolts to kill the silver-armored corpse."

On the other end of the phone, President Qin gasped.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked when I heard the confirmation.

"How powerful exactly?"

"A silver-armored corpse, equivalent to a half-step Void Refinement cultivator, was instantly charred into a pile by the first of the nine lightning bolts! Then it was reduced to ashes!"

Liu Zhenguo paused.

"President Qin, I think... even an S-class evil spirit couldn't withstand this power."

President Qin remained silent.

S-class evil spirit...

Since the first wave of spiritual energy erupted, the number of S-class evil spirits appearing worldwide has been extremely limited, and each one has caused immense casualties and losses.

Now, Master Li can instantly kill an S-rank opponent with just one talisman...

"I see."

President Qin took a deep breath.

"You need to clean up the scene as quickly as possible and minimize the impact."

"We will handle the online videos."

"But this time... we don't need to delete everything."

Liu Zhenguo was taken aback: "Why?"

"The spiritual tide has already erupted, and it's time for ordinary people to gradually learn about some things."

President Qin said slowly.

"Instead of letting them speculate about these supernatural phenomena, we should guide them to think in the right direction."

"It will be beneficial for future public disclosure."

Liu Zhenguo understood.

This is to release information gradually so that ordinary people can be psychologically prepared.

"Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhenguo looked at Jin Hao.

"Kid, you've really done a great job this time..."

Jin Hao scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"It's all thanks to Brother Taoist."

"yes……"

Liu Zhenguo looked south.

The direction of Luxian County.

"Master Li... he is truly unfathomable."
