"Thank you, Immortal Master Shen. I'll go first. Sigh, my surname is Wang and I live in the Iron Hat Alley of Yongding Square. Although my life is tough, it's still stable. The night before yesterday, I was fishing in the Golden Light River in the city when I met a few men in black. I don't know what they were doing. When they saw me, one of them waved his hand and I died. "The old man sighed.
"Men in black? Do they have any special characteristics? "Shen Luo did not expect the first person he asked to know the key point.
"At that time, I didn't see anything clearly. I didn't find anything." The old man shook his head.
Shen Luo's eyes flashed with a trace of regret. He looked at the others.
"Immortal Master, my name is Wang Dakui. I'm a cook in Chang 'an City's Qizhen Square. I was killed by a Fox Demon during the celebration. I didn't see any men in black." Another burly man said.
"Immortal Master, my name is Li Yong …"
The other souls also reported their names and what they saw last night. It was a bit messy and there was no useful information. Shen Luo frowned.
"Immortal Master Shen, I'm Ma Xianhe. I saw a strange situation before the celebration. It was related to the demons at the celebration. It should be useful to you. However, I have a small request that I hope you can agree to." The merchant waited for the others to finish before he spoke.
"Oh, if you have any wishes, please feel free to tell me." Shen Luo already knew that the merchant's soul knew about this matter. When he heard the merchant's words, he was moved and did not care about the merchant's bargaining.
"I've always envied those who cultivate the Way of Immortality. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet Immortal Master. After I saw the situation, I want my son to be your disciple. I hope Immortal Master can agree." The merchant's soul bowed to Shen Luo.
"I'm used to being alone. I've never thought of accepting disciples." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and then shook his head.
The merchant's soul was stunned.
"Although I don't accept disciples, I know many cultivators. As long as your son's talent is good, it won't be difficult to arrange for him to join other sects." Shen Luo changed the topic.
"Thank you, Immortal Master Shen." The disappointment on the merchant's soul's face disappeared as he thanked Shen Tian with joy.
"I've fulfilled your conditions. You can tell me now," Shen Luo said.
"Of course, of course. Reporting to Immortal Master, this junior also saw many black-clothed men before the celebration. They were at a hidden place near Yong Ding Lane and had inserted many thick iron nails into the ground. Moreover, there was a lot of blood flowing out from the places where the iron nails were inserted …" The soul of the merchant said quickly and described the situation in detail.
"Thick iron nails? Fresh blood? Where exactly is that place? "Shen Luo became excited and raised his hand to conjure up a map of Chang 'an.
"It's here." The merchant's soul looked at the map carefully and pointed at a location.
Shen Luo's eyes flashed when he saw this. That place was where a crack in the ground was located.
"This matter is indeed very important to me. I will keep my promise and do my best to guide your noble son onto the path of immortality," he said with a nod.
"Thank you, Immortal Master Shen." The merchant's soul hurriedly thanked him again.
Shen Luo saw that he had asked most of the questions and was about to leave with these souls when a beam of light shot over from afar. It was Soul Hooking Horse-Face.
He looked a little disheveled and had many injuries on his body. Fortunately, they weren't serious.
"Fellow Daoist Horse-Face, are you alright?" Shen Luo asked.
"I'm alright. Those ghosts chased me for a while and suddenly fled in all directions. Shen Daoyou, you killed the leader of those ghosts, right?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face looked at Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo's eyes moved when he heard this. Those ghosts fled most likely because the Ghost Controlling Flute had fallen into his hands.
The power of the Ghost Controlling Flute was above his expectations. It could actually control so many ghosts from a distance. He hoped that the Dragon Burying Flute refined by the Fire Spirit could maintain this power.
"These are the souls of the citizens of Chang 'an? Why are there only a dozen of them? "Soul Hooking Horse-Face didn't wait for Shen Luo to speak. He turned to the dozen or so souls and asked curiously.
The citizens of Chang 'an were frightened by Horse-Face's ferocious and strange appearance. They subconsciously hid behind Shen Luo.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. This is the Yin God of the Netherworld, Soul Hooking Horse-Face. Although you are not cultivators, you should have heard of his name." Shen Luo hurriedly comforted them.
The ordinary citizens were also familiar with the legends of Ox-Head and Horse-Face. The souls of the citizens were slightly relieved. However, they subconsciously maintained a distance between them and Horse-Face.
"When I arrived here, there was a Grand Sorcerer Formation here. These souls happened to be standing within the formation and were protected by the formation. The other souls were killed by a True Immortal Stage ghost," Shen Luo said to the Soul Hooking Horse-Face.
"Perfected Immortal ghost? What's the name of that person? Shen Daoyou, did you see his face clearly? "Soul Hooking Horse-Face hurriedly asked.
Shen Luo nodded. He didn't cast any spells. A blue light flashed in the void beside him. A figure appeared. It was the figure of the nameless ghost.
"This person looks very unfamiliar. I have never seen him before. What kind of supernatural power did he use?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face looked carefully and shook his head.
"This ghost can activate ancient witchcraft. Most of the magic treasures he uses are also witchcraft weapons. He has a three-headed python as a ghost pet. He also used a lotus supernatural power," Shen Luo said.
He felt that the black lotus supernatural power was quite extraordinary. It was also very different from the witchcraft that the nameless ghost used. Therefore, he described the black lotus supernatural power in detail.
"This is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Six Paths of Reincarnation!" Soul Hooking Horse-Face didn't care about other supernatural powers. However, when he heard Shen Luo describe the black lotus supernatural power, his expression changed. He cried out involuntarily.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's supernatural power? That person is from the Netherworld Kingdom? "Shen Luo also frowned.
The founder of the Netherworld Kingdom was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This person was very powerful. He wasn't inferior to Guanyin, Zhen Yuanzi, Patriarch Bodhi, and the other Immortal Dao giants. He oversaw the Netherworld Kingdom.
This Bodhisattva wasn't very famous in the past. He only established a sect in the Netherworld Kingdom. That was why his name spread throughout the three realms.
"I don't know. The supernatural powers of the Netherworld Kingdom are very widespread. Perhaps someone from another sect secretly learned it," Soul Hooking Horse-Face said.
"That's also possible," Shen Luo grunted.
"Shen Daoyou, this nameless ghost city has many implications. Many people have witnessed my arrival here. What happened here, as well as the nameless ghost, can I report to Lord Zhong Kui?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face hesitated for a moment before asking.
"It's fine to report this to Zhong Kui," Shen Luo said.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face saw Shen Luo agree and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his sleeve at the dozen or so souls.
A black light wrapped around them and collected them into his sleeve.
"I'll take these souls back to the Netherworld Kingdom and arrange for them to be reincarnated," Soul Hooking Horse-Face said.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Fellow Daoist Horse-Face." Shen Luo nodded.
Chapter 1460: Being Sought After by the Masses
After the matter was settled, Shen Luo and Soul Hooking Horse-Face didn't stay any longer. Just as they were about to leave.
Shen Luo suddenly turned around at lightning speed and raised his fist in the direction of the altar.
A golden fist the size of a palace appeared above the altar out of thin air and hit the surface of the altar.
Without the protection of the restriction, the altar shattered and turned into countless large rocks that scattered in all directions. There was nothing unusual about it.
"Shen Daoyou, what's wrong?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face was startled by Shen Luo's sudden action. He looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, my fist is a little itchy," Shen Luo's eyes flashed and he said slowly.
After saying this, he didn't wait for Horse-Face to reply and shot towards the ground.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face was stunned by Shen Luo's actions. He hurriedly chased after him after seeing him leave.
A long time after the two left, the underground space was still silent. There wasn't any movement.
After a while, a black light flashed where Shen Luo had been standing before. A black vertical pupil appeared and silently disintegrated, turning into black gas that drifted away.
The black vertical pupil disappeared and the space beside the collapsed altar fluctuated. Two figures appeared.
One of them wore a dragon robe and a golden crown, but his face was in the shape of a dragon.
If Shen Luo was here, he would definitely recognize this person as the Jinghe Dragon King. He had actually come back to life.
The other figure was enveloped in a layer of gray light. He was the mysterious person who had appeared by the underworld river back then.
"Heavenly Demon Eye? I didn't expect this Shen Luo to be proficient in this Demons Divine Ability. Strange, where did he learn it from? "Jinghe Dragon King muttered to himself.
"Aren't you going to make a move? Then has Shen Luo already investigated the truth of the Chang 'an unrest? "the gray light figure asked.
"So what? He can investigate this matter as he pleases. On the other hand, the nameless ghost that you have been secretly nurturing was killed, and a strand of your soul was destroyed. Even the Great Formation of Divine Refinement here was taken away by that person with the surname Shen. Can you tolerate this? "Jinghe Dragon King was unmoved and asked in return.
"That nameless ghost was just an abandoned pawn. As for this Great Formation of Cultivation, I have already thoroughly studied it. Why would I be reluctant to part with it? What I am interested in now is the Sorcerer Tribe's Great Formation of Soul Devouring. It is said that it can strip all the spiritual imprints on the soul and refine them into a ball of pure spiritual origin. It is the best method to increase the power of the soul. If I can obtain it, it will be greatly beneficial for me to take the final step. Unfortunately, this formation has already been destroyed. "The gray light figure sighed.
"Hmph, what a nice way to put it. If you don't feel sorry for it, why did you rush over at this time?" Jinghe Dragon King sneered.
"I don't have time to bicker with you. I have already done what I have to do for you. What you do next has nothing to do with me. I will only say one thing in advance. If something happens to you, don't blame me for not showing mercy." The gray light figure snorted coldly and then disappeared in a flash.
Jinghe Dragon King stood in silence. After a while, his figure also disappeared silently.
…
Shen Luo and Soul Hooking Horse-Face soon arrived at the surface. At this moment, many disciples of the Netherworld had gathered here. One of them caught Shen Luo's attention.
"Fellow Gu." Shen Luo looked at a black-clothed girl in surprise.
This person had a slender figure. She had a head of purple hair and a pair of purple bone wings on her back. It was Gu Hualing, who had not been seen for a long time.
Her aura was as majestic as mountains and seas. Apparently, she had also reached the True Immortal Realm.
"Shen Luo, why are you here?" Gu Hualing also recognized Shen Luo and was surprised.
Many male disciples of the Netherworld Palace were following Gu Hualing. When they saw Gu Hualing talking to Shen Luo and how they seemed to be very familiar with each other, many of them looked at Shen Luo with hostility.
"Fellow Taoist Horse-Face and I are here to investigate something. But why are you here, Fellow Taoist Gu? When did you join the Netherworld? "Shen Luo looked at Gu Hualing's clothes. It was the uniform of a disciple of the Netherworld.
"I'm a demon, and it's not very appropriate for me to stay in the Tang government, where it's our duty to slay demons and devils. I joined the Netherworld many years ago, but I've been staying there in order to deepen my relationship with the Tang government," Gu Hualing said indifferently.
Shen Luo nodded. With Gu Hualing's background and character, it was indeed inappropriate for him to stay in the Tang Empire.
"You two seem to have just come out from below. How is the situation down there?" Gu Hualing changed the topic and asked.
Shen Luo didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at Soul Haunting Horse-Face.
"Everything is settled. Shen Daoyou and I have found the souls of the people in Chang 'an City. You don't have to search for them anymore." Soul Haunting Horse-Face took out a small black bag. There were more than a dozen souls in it.
This was what they had discussed before they came up. They wouldn't spread the news about the nameless ghost to avoid unnecessary disturbances. They would investigate secretly.
"Why are there only a dozen souls? At least thousands of people were killed in the chaos in Chang 'an City. "Gu Hualing frowned.
"The other souls have been destroyed. I can't tell you the details now. Fellow Taoist Gu, you can ask Fellow Taoist Horse-Face later," Shen Luo said.
Hearing this, Gu Hualing glanced at Soul Haunting Horse-Face. Soul Haunting Horse-Face nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Gu Hualing didn't ask any more questions.
"Since it's over, let's leave quickly. This place is full of bad luck. Junior Sister Gu, it's not good for you to stay here for too long," a young disciple of the Underworld said fawningly. He also glanced at Shen Luo slightly.
Shen Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He thought to himself, Could it be that I've been having trouble with girls recently? I'm always in this kind of strange situation.
"Shen Daoyou, Fellow Taoist Horse-Face, see you later," Gu Hualing didn't even look at that person. He said goodbye to Shen Luo and Soul Haunting Horse-Face before turning around and flying away.
"Hey, Junior Sister Gu, where are you going?"
"Junior Sister, slow down!"
A group of male disciples of the Underworld hurriedly followed her. The surrounding people instantly decreased by half.
"Hehe, it seems that Fellow Taoist Gu is very popular in the Underworld," Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Of course, there are very few female disciples in the Underworld. Fellow Taoist Gu is very talented and has already become the disciple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Her future is limitless, and she's so beautiful. It's normal for many male disciples to pursue her. However, Fellow Taoist Gu is as cold as a winter plum. I haven't heard of her speaking to anyone. I see that Fellow Taoist Gu seems to treat Shen Daoyou differently? "Soul Haunting Horse-Face winked.
"Fellow Taoist Horse-Face, please don't joke around. Fellow Taoist Gu and I are only ordinary friends who have met a few times. I don't want to become the public enemy of the male disciples of the Underworld," Shen Luo said with a wave of his hand.
Soul Haunting Horse-Face heard this and only laughed dryly. He didn't say anything else.
The two didn't stay here for long. Soul Haunting Horse-Face explained the situation to the person in charge here and left with Shen Luo.
Soul Haunting Horse-Face stopped in a place where there was no one.
"Shen Daoyou, I'll send you back to the world of the living first. It won't do you any good to stay here for too long." Horse-Face took out the Mourning Staff and waved it in the air. A spatial tunnel quickly opened.
"Notify me immediately if there's any news." Shen Luo warned Soul Haunting Horse-Face and flew into the tunnel. The surrounding space was constantly being torn apart, but this little bit of power had no effect on him.
