Chapter 162: Chapter 138: Successfully Guarding the Corpse, Asura Sect Headquarters Location!

Translator: 549690339 |

Hei Meigui thought of the impression she had when she first saw Xu Yang’s photo when she took on the mission.

Innocent.

Handsome.

Youthful!

It was Xu Yang’s photo from his high school years. In the picture, Xu Yang was wearing his school uniform, standing in front of the school gate, and smiling very innocently.

According to the information provided by the Lu Shan Sect, Xu Yang had never revealed his own strength until a month ago, and had even once led their experts to believe that he was just an ordinary person!

This shows that he is wholeheartedly committed to Daoism and keeps a low profile.

After Xu Yang became famous, he did kill the disciple of the Lu Shan Sect in the Zongsheng Palace without a word… but in Hei Meigui’s view, given the relationship between the Lu Shan Sect and the Jingming Sect, anyone would have done the same.

Thinking about Xu Yang’s every move when he buried her, offering her incense, setting up a tombstone, and even wishing her to be a good person in her next life…

Such a behavior, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was an enlightened master, and he would never be guarding her corpse outside!

Upon thinking of this, Hei Meigui couldn’t help but strengthen her belief.

She activated the secret technique, absorbing the essence and blood from her own corpse, continuously strengthening her Yin spirit, and gradually… a hint of blood color began to spread over her body!

Red Robe!

After advancing to the level of Red Robe, her breath was still rising!

She was already a martial arts Grandmaster with great strength. She had been responsible for countless deaths in her lifetime, and her murderous intent and guilt were already immense. Now, using the secret technique to transform into a fierce ghost, her strength may not be as great as Yue Yuluo’s, but it was certainly not on par with a beginner at the level of Red Robe!

As soon as the transformation was complete, Hei Meigui laughed loudly and flew out of the ground.

Swish!

As soon as she flew into the outside world, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air… Though ghosts don’t need to breathe, at this moment, she still felt freedom and intoxication.

Opening her eyes.

She habitually observed her surroundings first… and then, she was stunned!

She saw a car parked 500 meters away.

As a ghost, her vision was excellent. Although she couldn’t clearly see the license plate number, she could judge from the color and model of the car that it was undoubtedly Xu Yang’s vehicle.

“Didn’t his car drive away? Why is it there?”

A thought flashed through her mind, making Hei Meigui’s heart skip a beat!

She quickly scanned the area around the grave, only to find that her grave was completely empty, not a single person in sight!

“Ding!”

“The female ghost was frightened, Merit Points +50.”

At the same time.

Xu Yang, who was using the “Invisibility Talisman” and standing just three meters away from Hei Meigui, couldn’t help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth… Good fellow, this dog thing really does know how to hold on; this old Daoist thought you weren’t going to come out!

As for Hei Meigui.

After seeing the car parked not far away, she was first shocked, then scanned the surroundings, and finally sighed with relief when she didn’t see Xu Yang’s figure. She immediately transformed into a Yin wind and was about to fly away.

Just then…

A large iron hammer appeared in front of her.

The hammer was shining with the brilliance of thunder and lightning, and forcefully slammed down. Although it didn’t hit the Yin wind that Hei Meigui had transformed into, it forced her to retreat.

Under the night sky.

Xu Yang revealed himself.

He held the iron hammer and said with a faint smile, “Miss Hei Meigui, I did dig your grave, set up your tombstone, and you just want to leave without a word. Isn’t that a bit impolite?”

“Ding!”

“The female ghost was frightened, Merit Points +50.”

A look of astonishment crossed Hei Meigui’s face, and she said sharply, “Xu Yang, I never thought that you, a moral person, would kill people and guard their corpses… I admit that it was my mistake to take the mission to assassinate you, but you also said that lives should be cherished, and life ends like extinguishing a lamp!”

“Now that I have already died once, my past life has nothing to do with me anymore. Are you not even going to let me, a ghost, go?”

Xu Yang was stunned.

Then he chuckled, “Good one, ‘your past life has nothing to do with you anymore’…The fact that you wanted to kill me in your lifetime still counts, doesn’t it?”

“As for the things like cherishing lives and life ending like a lamp, those were obviously for you to hear… Don’t you understand yet?”

As he said this, Xu Yang’s tone turned cold, and he said coldly, “If I had fallen into your hands, I would have certainly been killed… Now that you have fallen into mine, it is the same!”

With that said, he swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it down.

Thunder and lightning intertwined on the hammerhead, permeated by the Dao charm. Under Xu Yang’s powerful mana, its power was overwhelming.

Hei Meigui was greatly startled and quickly retreated, yelling, “But I’m already dead!”

“Ding!”

“The female ghost is frightened. Merit points +50.”

Hearing the system prompt in his ear, Xu Yang sneered, “As the saying goes, if the grass isn’t removed by the roots, it’ll grow again when the spring wind blows. When dealing with enemies, I like to save even their souls!”

He didn’t pursue after his hammer missed.

After Hei Meigui dodged, she turned and wanted to escape.

However, she had barely flown ten meters forward when a watermelon knife suddenly slashed out from the darkness. The knife emitted a cold silver light, and the evil aura on it was astonishing. Hei Meigui was greatly alarmed and changed the direction of her flight.

Splash!

Sounds like flowing water echoed, and Hei Meigui saw a blood river hanging in the air in front of her. A figure with immense Yin energy stood proudly in the river.

Though the figure was incredibly graceful, its imposing presence made it difficult for Hei Meigui to breathe!

“Ghost King!”

Hei Meigui changed her direction again but hadn’t flown far when a red silk ribbon flew out like a serpent and pulled her back.

Yue Yuluo appeared, surrounded by paper dolls. With a flick of her finger, she stepped on the red silk, and the dolls fell to the ground, forming a giant paper doll that was two meters tall. The paper doll stomped its foot, causing the ground to tremble. Following Yue Yuluo’s command, it roared—this path is blocked!

Hei Meigui had to change her direction once more.

However, this time, a bead flew out of the darkness.

The bead spun in mid-air, looking insignificant, but with a gentle hit, it nearly shattered Hei Meigui’s soul.

Yang Yin appeared, stretching out her hand and retrieving the “Soul Condensing Bead.” She sweetly said to Xu Yang, “Boss, mission accomplished!”

One person, three ghosts, and a zombie formed a circle, trapping Hei Meigui in the middle.

Hei Meigui’s Yin spirit seemed to have lost all its power. She slumped to the ground with despair in her eyes and muttered, “Xu Yang, just kill me… I, Hei Meigui, have lost this time!”

“Killing you so easily would be lettingyou off too lightly!”

Xu Yang took out a silver bottle and trapped Hei Meigui inside. After shaking it a few times, he cursed, “Damn, this bitch is such a survivor… making us guard a corpse for half a day… Well, let’s go back to Zhouzhi County to eat first, and then we’ll deal with her slowly. Maybe we can get some information.”

They immediately drove back to the city, found a restaurant to eat and drink their fill, before Xu Yang returned to the inn room.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Yang released the land deity and Hei Meigui from the silver bottle and said, “Hei Meigui, old deity… I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. If either of your answers can’t satisfy me, I’ll smash the one responsible with my hammer.”

Saying this, he took out the hammer, which crackled with a mixture of lightning and fire.

The land deity had already received a lesson from Xu Yang and knew his methods. He hurriedly said, “Master Xu, don’t worry, I’ll answer everything I know!”

Hei Meigui, however, was a little bolder, as if she wasn’t afraid. She yelled, “Xu Yang, if you dare, kill me now… or if I ever get a chance to escape, I’ll ask my master to come out and kill you personally!”

Crackle!

Xu Yang didn’t say anything but started wildly electrocuting Hei Meigui with the hammer.

“Ding!”

“The land deity is frightened. Merit points +50, Earth Escape Skill +1.”

Seeing this scene, the old land deity trembled with fear and hurriedly said, “Xu Yang, I know what you want to ask… you must be wondering where the Asura Sect’s headquarters is, right?”

“Huh?”

Xu Yang’s gaze shifted, and he unconsciously raised the hammer in his hand.

“Ding!”

“The land deity is frightened. Merit points +50, Earth Escape Skill +1.”

The land deity was extremely frightened.

He was different from Hei Meigui… Hei Meigui was just a young girl who had been alive for less than thirty years, so how could she understand the difficulties of living?

This land deity, however, had even transformed into an evil deity just to stay alive. Naturally, he didn’t want to suffer. Without waiting for Xu Yang to ask any questions, the deity immediately revealed everything he knew, saying, “The Asura Sect’s headquarters is on an island in Indonesia… That island was once one of the ’72 Blessed Havens’ in the ancient overseas. It contains a secret realm, and the upper echelons of the Asura Sect reside within it!”

“Damnit!”

Hei Meigui’s Yin spirit roared in anger, “You dare to betray the Asura Sect…”

Smack!

Xu Yang slammed down with his hammer.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations! You’ve gained merit for saving lost souls. Reward: Merit points +500.”

After killing Hei Meigui with a single strike, Xu Yang turned to the land deity and said, “Continue… I want to know everything about the Asura Sect!”
