Qin Yu struggled to open his eyes and was relieved to hear the sounds of police sirens and footsteps as he knew that help had arrived.
However, a silhouette appeared from the dark and gripped his hair, pulling him along deeper into the darkness.
Despair filled Qin Yu’s heart when he realized that it was Wu Hao’s uncle. He wanted to resist and scream for help, but he had no strength to do so due to excessive blood loss. He could only watch helplessly as the man dragged him further into the abandoned hospital.
Qin Yu heard the man’s faint voice in the dark, “My lord, why didn’t the extradition ritual work on him? I was nearly affected, too.”
“Yes!”
“Understood!”
After mumbling to himself for some time, the man took out his dagger while making his way toward Qin Yu.
Right when he was about to stab Qin Yu’s neck, a silhouette appeared next to Qin Yu in an instant.
“Meow!”
The sound echoed throughout the abandoned hospital and Wu Hao’s uncle dropped to the floor with a horrified expression on his face.
He felt as though someone was choking his spirit, forcing air out of his lungs and suffocating him.
He struggled to look up and noticed that a cat was standing in front of him. It was as white as snow and had mesmerizing green eyes which made him feel like he would be sucked into them.
He was alarmed and tried to stand up when he noticed that the cat’s limbs were combusting with green flames.
“Meow!” with a growl, the cat jumped from its position and knocked its body against the man.
Thump!
A sharp noise was heard and to the man’s shock, he realized that his spirit had been knocked out of his body and his physical body was lying on the ground unconscious.
“I shall eat you!” Lu Wu stared at the man’s spirit which was floating mid-air and opened his mouth to suck him in.
A strong suction entwined with faint green energy was summoned, forming a whirlpool in Lu Wu’s mouth.
The goateed man could not resist the mysterious energy and was sucked into Lu Wu’s body in an instant.
“Burp!”
Throwing a glance at the unconscious Qin Yu, Lu Wu was exasperated. He contemplated for a while and took out a grain of spiritual rice from the artifact before dividing it into two halves with a pained expression. He then threw one half of it into his mouth and fed the other to Qin Yu.
After making sure that Qin Yu was fine, Lu Wu ran to where the blood ritual was drawn. He observed the pattern of the ritual closely before blowing out a gust of wind filled with green energy to ruin it. Lu Wu left immediately once it was all done.
……
Back home, Lu Wu looked at Bei Li who was munching on snacks and lifted his paw to greet her, “I’ve taken care of it!”
Bei Li nodded her head, “I saw it and I already knew what he was planning to do. He was a remarkable person, what a waste!”
Lu Wu jumped onto the sofa upon hearing that, “Tell me about his plan to rebel briefly.”
Bei Li nodded, “I have to say that he was a genius. He planned to collect human spirits and use them to create war puppets, hoping to fight against God with humans’ talent ability!”
“Isn’t that similar to our artifacts?” Lu Wu was astounded.
“That’s why I said that he was a genius to be able to think of this method. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any artifacts to help him so he could only rely on ritual sacrifice to collect human spirits which would take a whole lot longer. I bet that spirit extradition was only his experiment. He would definitely increase the number of extradition rituals if it worked!”
“There’s another important point, his methods were too wicked. The human world would be a huge mess if he succeeded, which is why we had to stop him.”
Listening to Bei Li’s explanation, Lu Wu was reminded of someone whose spirit failed to be extradited to the underworld.
“Could it be that the survivor is our player and his spirit could not be extradited because his spirit was bound to the artifact?”
“Yeah, he is our player and his spirit has been bound to the artifact. No one would be able to extradite his spirit, not even the man behind all this.”
Lu Wu started to realize the seriousness of this matter after listening to Bei Li’s explanation.
He would not be able to win against the man behind all this if he was really powerful.
“What should we do?” Lu Wu asked with a stern expression.
“Expose him and someone will finish him!” Bei Li smiled while squinting her eyes.
Lu Wu was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Bei Li giggled, “I’ve already jotted down the ritual pattern and it’ll be easy to find out where it leads to. I’m sure someone is desperate to stop him…”
……
His Excellency Cangxu’s large domain palace in the underworld.
Cangxu’s face was twisted with anger and his fists were tightened.
He deliberately looked for a newborn default soul so that he would not be noticed by others as he wanted to stay low. However, he never expected that someone would stop him when he’d barely even started.
Both rage and fear filled his heart.
He had been planning this for years. The blood ritual that was used for the spirit extradition was created solely for this.
He had no idea who was targeting him and how they knew about his plans.
Not many people knew about this matter and Cangxu was certain that they would never betray him. Besides that, the love of his life had been trapped in the dungeon for a long time, she could not have betrayed him!
Cangxu fell into deep thought. He felt as though an invisible hand was hovering above his head, looking for a chance to give him a fatal blow.
“Your Majesty, should we capture some more default souls to proceed with the plan?” a man with a long black sword on his back asked.
A hint of worry flashed across Cangxu’s face when he heard that.
“I chose a default soul to avoid trouble and attention from others, but now… I suspect that those who stopped our plan have already found out my identity!”
“What should we do now?” the man with the sword tightened his jaw.
“Continue with the plan. Contact Riying, Elong, and Fenshui… have them send their best men to me. There’s no need to stay hidden now that I’m exposed. There’s no way that I’ll terminate my plans, I’ve been planning this for more than 10,000 years!”
“Understood!”
Right when the man with the sword was about to leave, some blue light rays appeared on top of the residence out of nowhere.
The rays shone through the vault of heaven and blue lights were cast downward like swords.
Cangxu’s facial expression changed when he felt a sense of oppression from the outside. Fear was evident on the other man’s face, “De… Deities!”
Cangxu’s figure disappeared from his initial position and reappeared in the sky instantly. He threw his hands to the sky and waved his sleeve before a gigantic palm appeared mid-air and caught those blue lights within it.
Cangxu looked into the sky with a stern expression, “Those from heaven, why are you here at my large domain palace in the underworld?”
Eight unworldly silhouettes with divine aura appeared in the sky when Cangxu finished talking. Each of them was stepping on a cloud and they had the same indifferent and unconcerned expression.
“Cangxu, you’ve crossed the line. We are here to arrest you under the commands of Beidou Tianzun!”
“Crossed the line? Is there evidence of this?” Cangxu already guessed it but he still remained calm.
A blood ritual map appeared in the hands of the leader of the deities instantly.
“This map points to your palace and it is connected to your Yin Talisman. Are you still denying it?”
“I’m part of the underworld. Even if I am guilty, the Great Emperor of Feng Du should be the one arresting me!” Cangxu’s demeanor became more imposing as he waved his sleeves and his hair moved despite the absence of wind, “What does it have to do with you?”
