"Buzz buzz!"
At that moment, a bronze mirror in the room started to move without any wind and let out a long cry.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Guan's expression changed. He stepped forward and cast a spell into the bronze mirror. Black gas flashed and a figure appeared.
This person's face was sinister and his eyes were green. Half of his face was covered with black tattoos, making him look mysterious and terrifying.
"Greetings, Envoy!"
Seeing this person, Jiang Guan's expression changed. He knelt down with his son and Bai Cui.
"Hmm, remember, the Black Mountain Envoy is here to capture a Daoist. If you find any traces of him, report it immediately and you will be rewarded. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble!"
As the person spoke, his body emitted a powerful wave of magical power, causing Bai Cui's body to tremble.
"Yes, Sir!"
Jiang Guan lowered his head without hesitation and kowtowed.
"Good! Also... the two women you offered last time are not bad. They suit my taste. Send four more! "
The 'envoy' nodded with satisfaction. His gaze landed on Bai Cui before disappearing.
"Father, what should we do?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man became anxious. "Why are you protecting that person?"
"Who said I want to protect that Daoist?"
Jiang Guan smiled mysteriously. "This is the blessing of the heavens! We can borrow the power of the Black Mountain Envoy to get that item. When the time comes, the envoy will capture the person and we will collect the item. Isn't that perfect? We are only delaying it for now because we need to have a perfect plan! "
"Father is wise!"
The middle-aged man was stunned, but he was immediately convinced.
"Bai Cui!"
Jiang Guan's gaze turned and stared at Bai Cui.
"Ancestor, I am here!"
As a descendant who was separated by many generations, Bai Cui was only a servant and did not receive much care. Her body trembled and she replied respectfully.
"You can leave now. Serve that Daoist well. Report his every move to me!"
Jiang Guan's expression softened. "After this matter is over, you can serve the envoy. Your parents can also enjoy a good life!"
"Yes!"
Bai Cui trembled but could only agree.
...
"As expected, this family is located within the Black Mountain Ghost Kingdom. How is it possible that they aren't related to the Lord Kurosan?"
Within the room, Wu Ming, who had been meditating cross-legged all this time, suddenly opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if everything that had just happened was still vivid in his mind.
"It's an item of great importance to protect the clan …"
At this moment, the expression on his face became a little strange. "Could it be that you're talking about the Earth God's Edict? You have a good eye. If I have this, I can indeed open up a spiritual land and receive incense offerings from all over the world. I don't have to worry about the sacrifices of a single family …"
In fact, Wu Ming found that the structure of the underworld here was quite different from that of the living world. It was very similar to the aristocracy of the Western feudal system in his previous life.
Monarchs, princes, dukes, marquises, earls, sons, men, and even ferocious ghosts and hairy deities all had their own territories and private armies. They held real power.
The nobles in the West were so powerful that they could even band together to hang the king who wanted to confiscate the nobles' fief!
Although a marquis could deal with a viscount, suppressing him multiple times and making him disappear over a long period of time, it was basically impossible for them to turn against him and deprive him of his fief. They could even attack the castle and hang the lord.
Therefore, a Earth God's Edict was also a small fief under the situation of the feudal lords in the underworld.
If he managed it well, it would not be difficult for him to protect his own family. He could even take advantage of the chaos to advance further.
"It's a good idea, but they shouldn't have targeted me …"
"Also … why is the messenger of Black Mountain here to capture me? Is it because of the matter with the Black Wind General? "
Through a little trick previously, he had long understood the Jiang family's plans. Moreover, the underworld purely valued strength, and the other party was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
What Wu Ming was more concerned about was this.
"I didn't expect that … I was previously treated as a messenger of Black Mountain, and this time, I will be pursued by the real messenger of Black Mountain. Is everything really predestined? I might have to fight with that emissary after all … "
Wu Ming lowered his eyelids, and there was a faint light in his eyes.
…
The next day.
"Even if you send a gentleman for a thousand miles, you still have to say goodbye. Please don't send me off anymore!"
The two groups of people, each with their own ulterior motives, humbly gave way to each other. Under the leadership of Jiang Guan, they sent Wu Ming a few miles away.
"Daoist priest, you are elegant and charming. I really wish that I could keep you for a few more days, so that the future generations can improve …" Jiang Guan chuckled.
There was no sign of the sinister scene from before. There were many Yin soldiers following him, and they were somewhat organized. Suddenly, he slapped his head, "There's one more thing, I'm confused. There's a Yin spring not far from here, and there's a trace of Yang energy in the center. It's quite rare, and it might even implicate the world of the living!"
"If that's the case, I have to go and take a look!"
Wu Ming pretended to take the bait, and his eyes lit up.
"Haha … let's go together!"
Jiang Guan and his son looked at each other, and a trace of joy appeared in their eyes. They led the way and arrived at a valley.
"Eh … there's really a Yin spring?"
Standing at the entrance of the valley, Wu Ming smiled, and said in amazement, "You've put in a lot of effort, haven't you?"
"What did you say, Young Master?"
Jiang Guan's son laughed dryly and said bitterly.
Wu Ming didn't want to trouble him, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Jiang Guan, you want to kill me for money, but you really gave me some advice. For the sake of this, if you survive my palm strike, I'll let it go!"
"What?"
Jiang Guan was shocked, and then he saw a circle of brighter flames suddenly burst out from Wu Ming's body.
Whoosh!
The wind and clouds surged, and the thunder and fire were monstrous. In an instant, an extremely bright electric light lit up from Wu Ming's palm.
Five Thunder Palm Technique!
This technique had five stages. The first stage was the Fighting Thunder Technique, which was still at the level of the mortal world, but the second stage was the Water Thunder Technique, which combined wind and thunder, and could injure the Divine Soul!
After reaching the third stage of the Cloud Thunder Realm, one could form the Cloud Thunder Talisman in the Sea of Consciousness, and enter the Dao through martial arts!
Although Wu Ming had not reached the third stage of the Cloud Thunder Realm, he had mastered the Water Thunder Technique, so it was easy for him to use wind and thunder to injure the Divine Soul and Yin Spirit!
"Thunder Spell!"
As soon as this masculine aura appeared, Jiang Guan was scared out of his wits, "Taoist, please spare my life!"
The Thunder Spell controlled the changes of the five elements in the world, and controlled the Yin and Yang. It was not only the most powerful Taoist technique, but it was also the most effective against ghosts!
Wu Ming's face was cold. Like a god in charge of the Nine Heavens, he struck with his palm, and the electric light formed a circle, which continued to spread out.
Whoosh!
The Jiang Clan's Ghost Soldiers in the surroundings were all reduced to dust before they could even cry out in alarm.
The electric light turned into blue snakes, which spread out continuously. Even the gray fog was swept away, and a large open space was cleared.
"Ah!"
A short scream was heard, but it came from the edge of the electric light. A layer of flame appeared on Jiang Guan's body, and he grabbed his son and ran quickly. Eventually, he was hit by the electric light and lost a piece of his body. He gritted his teeth and ran out of the circle.
Since Wu Ming had struck with his palm, he kept his promise and did not chase after him.
Such a villain was just an ant. It did not matter whether he killed or let go. The real enemies were the ghosts and deities that came out of the valley!
"Father!"
In the distance, the middle-aged man saw Jiang Guan's body was scattered and screamed.
"I've used up a lot of the Noble Spirit that I've accumulated in my life. Now that it's gone, I can't use it anymore!"
Jiang Guan murmured and looked around, "The seeds that the Jiang family painstakingly cultivated, a group of ghost soldiers, are gone just like that. I hate it! I regret it so much! "
"Regret?!"
The middle-aged man asked while crying.
"I've been living in the world for a long time, but I've forgotten that in the underworld, only strength is the foundation of everything … Now that I've recovered, I feel that I've put the cart before the horse all these years …"
Jiang Guan smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's not just the underworld, isn't it the same in the world of the living? If I had understood this earlier … Sigh … After I die, you'll be the next master of the family. Remember not to avenge me! "
At the end of his words, the flames on his body were completely extinguished, and his body became more and more scattered. In the end, it turned into wisps of grayish-white gas and dissipated.
"Father!"
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then looked at the battlefield again.
Regardless of whether he took revenge in the future, there was one thing that he was sure of. The figure of the young man whose palms were surrounded by wind and thunder, like the Thunder God of the Nine Heavens, would never fade from his mind …
…
"Audacious Daoist, how dare you violate the laws of the Black Mountain and recklessly expiate the wronged souls? The Black Mountain Messenger is also rushing over, quickly surrender!"
There were three ghosts and deities in front of Wu Ming.
One of them was dressed in an official's robe, and he had a sinister face. He had the aura of a combination of the Yamen's Old Constable's authority and cunning. Half of his face was covered with a circle of black dharmic patterns, mysterious and terrifying.
The two ghosts next to him had green faces and sharp fangs. They did not look like humans, but their auras were inferior to this person.
Looking at the flames, this standard appeared in the underworld, and it was almost synonymous with strength.
The Old Constable's head was filled with black and red gas, which was three feet high. The two ferocious ghosts next to him had black gas soaring into the sky, which was one to two feet high.
Wu Ming himself had a foot of clear light protecting his body, and the red energy on his body was also three feet high, which was like a fire that soared into the sky.
Their strength was almost the same. It was no wonder that the Old Constable was not confident enough to prepare an ambush.
"Expiate the souls of the dead is not allowed?"
Wu Ming was stunned. He did not expect that to be the case. Then, he laughed coldly, "How arrogant. Who are you? And who is the Black Mountain Messenger? "
"I am under the Black Mountain King, directly under the Five Path General, Evil God Messenger!"
The Evil God Messenger shouted, and his body was indeed filled with evil energy. But then, a palm wind that was filled with the strength of Thunder slammed onto his face.
"Idiot! I think you have been a ghost for too long, and your brain has become rusty. You don't even know how to seize the opportunity … "
Seeing that there were only three people lying in ambush, how could Wu Ming give them a chance? He immediately sneaked up on them, and hit the Evil God Messenger's face. Lightning flashed, and the Evil God Messenger was sent flying.
When the two ferocious ghosts saw this, they were enraged, and pounced forward.
"Kill!"
It was a pity that Wu Ming was a martial artist, and he was decisive. He was not scared by the appearance of the two ghosts. He struck out with his palms again, and thick lightning struck the two ghosts' chests, causing them to turn into ashes.
