After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 217 Sanqing Palace Wuchenzi
The middle-aged Taoist priest choked for a moment, and after a long while he said helplessly: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. We are from Sanqing Palace. I am Wuchenzi, passing by here, and saw the abnormal fluctuation of Yin energy here, so I came to check it out."
"Not here to grab the spoils?"
Huo Qinghuang frowned and said, "I have nothing to do with your Sanqing Palace. What is your purpose in intervening in this matter?"
Wu Chenzi smiled slightly and said, "You are very powerful and are subduing evil spirits. As disciples of the Taoist sect, we naturally cannot stand idly by."
After these words came out, the people behind him looked at each other, seeming to want to talk but stopping themselves.
One of the young Taoist priests couldn't help but whispered, "Second Elder, could this person be Huo Qinghuang, the one who specializes in hunting down evil spirits?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Another person bumped his arm and whispered, "Didn't you see the photo? That's her."
The young Taoist's eyes widened instantly and he kept looking at Huo Qinghuang.
This little girl is probably not even older than him, how could she be so powerful?
Normally, even if he saw the evil ghost, he would retreat away, but this little girl beat the evil ghost so hard that it screamed with just her fists.
It's true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away!
Huo Qinghuang had very sharp hearing. Although the young Taoist lowered his voice, she could still hear it clearly.
She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Wu Chenzi and the Taoist priests behind him, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Oh? It seems that you Sanqing Palace know me quite well. You even have my photo?"
Wu Chenzi's face turned slightly red. He obviously didn't expect that his disciples would be caught talking behind his back by the master, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
He coughed dryly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. We in Sanqing Palace have no ill will towards the young lady. It's just that I have heard that you have been subduing evil spirits in various places and doing justice. I admire you in my heart, so I came here to get to know you."
"Get acquainted?"
Huo Qinghuang sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Aren't you here to call for punishment? It's a pity that you, the Sanqing Palace, were a step too slow. The people from Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Sect were sent away by me. Do you want to try too?"
"Are there people from Tianshi Mansion and Maoshan as well?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chenzi's expression changed instantly.
Those two companies were quite fast, but no matter how hard they tried they still fell behind.
However, judging from the other party's tone, it was obvious that the meeting with the two families was not very pleasant.
Fortunately, they came here for different purposes, so they shouldn’t offend this young Taoist friend...right?
Wu Chenzi thought uncertainly.
But he was the second elder of Sanqing Palace after all, and he was very cunning. Even though Huo Qinghuang retorted, he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile:
"You are joking, fellow Taoist. We at Sanqing Palace have always taken it as our responsibility to maintain the order of yin and yang. Since fellow Taoist is also eliminating harm in the world, we naturally hope to cooperate with fellow Taoist to seek welfare for the people of the world."
"cooperate?"
Huo Qinghuang crossed his arms and spoke with a hint of amusement: "Don't you sects always claim to be orthodox and look down on independent practitioners? Why are you willing to cooperate with me, a person of unknown origin?"
Wu Chenzi was choked by Huo Qinghuang's words and was speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Daoyou, you are wrong. Although there are different sects in Taoism, the righteous ways in the world are all one family.
Since you have such strength and justice in your heart, we at Sanqing Palace are naturally willing to join hands with you."
Huo Qinghuang sneered, not wanting to beat around the bush with him anymore: "Alright, stop talking to me about these high-sounding words. Just tell me what you, Sanqing Palace, want to do."
Seeing Huo Qinghuang being so direct, Wu Chenzi stopped beating around the bush and said in all seriousness, "Since that's the case, I'll just be frank. We at Sanqing Palace recently discovered that there is a place with extremely heavy yin energy, and it is suspected that a ghost king has appeared.
We wanted to go and investigate, but the yin energy in that place was too dense and seemed to be unusual, so ordinary disciples could not get close at all.
I heard that you are very powerful, so I would like to invite you to go with us to eliminate the Ghost King together."
"Ghost King?" Huo Qinghuang's eyes flashed with interest. "Don't you have a special heritage in Sanqing Palace and many hidden cards? How come you can't even deal with a Ghost King?"
Wu Chenzi smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, you don't know that I have fought with it before. That ghost king is very powerful. Not only is he extremely evil, he is also proficient in illusion. He doesn't seem to be the so-called ghost king in the human world, but rather the orthodox ghost king of the underworld, with extremely powerful strength.
Several of the disciples we sent were tricked and nearly died, and I almost couldn't come back. If it weren't for the last resort, we wouldn't bother the young lady."
If their Sanqing Palace had not experienced several major changes, and a lot of inheritance and magic weapons had not been lost, why would they need to find others to cooperate in dealing with a Ghost King?
As for why the blame was placed on Huo Qinghuang, it all started when she was doing a live broadcast on a variety show.
When Huo Qinghuang first appeared on the live broadcast show, his series of outrageous moves not only alarmed the 749 bureaus, but also alarmed many Taoist disciples.
However, many of these Taoist disciples sneered at Huo Qinghuang, especially when they saw her drawing talismans, they mocked her loudly.
They thought that she might have some skills in Taoism, or some connections in the underworld, so she could invite the King of the Wheel to come.
At that time, a little Taoist child from Sanqing Palace was also watching the live broadcast. The little Taoist child was only seven or eight years old, and was very cute. He took his mobile phone and went to find his own leader.
The head of Sanqing Palace is called Wu Yunzi. He is a man with a quick mind. With the attitude of "it is better to believe it than not to believe it", he actually burned incense to ask the ancestor about Huo Qinghuang's origins.
As a result, the three incense sticks burned out in an instant, and the smoke went straight into the sky.
Wu Yunzi realized it on the spot, and from then on he paid special attention to Huo Qinghuang's news.
When the incident of the Ghost King occurred, the elders of the sect suggested cooperating with other sects to defeat the Ghost King together.
But it was refuted by Wu Yunzi.
In Wu Yunzi's opinion, the appearance of the Ghost King in the mortal world might have other hidden secrets, and there seemed to be rare treasures appearing in the place where he was, so how could it be given to outsiders?
Just at this moment Huo Qinghuang made some noise again, and Wu Yunzi's active mind immediately started to work.
Rather than giving advantage to other sects, it is better to cooperate with Huo Qinghuang, a casual cultivator.
He had already found out clearly that this person without any school or sect seemed to have acquired all these skills out of thin air, which just proved the theory of reincarnation of heaven.
If both parties cooperate well, maybe they can even make friends with a big boss, which is the best of both worlds.
Therefore, Sanqing Palace directly sent three elders out of the mountain and headed straight to the imperial capital.
It’s a long story, but in reality it’s just a short moment.
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly when she heard this.
The ghost king of the underworld actually came to the human world to cause trouble?
I haven't heard of any turmoil in the underworld. Could it be that the spiritual energy is about to revive?
However, the orthodox ghost king of the underworld is of this level and is a great tonic to her. If she can devour it, it will surely be a huge merit.
However, Niu Bizi has always been cunning, and she doesn't want to be used as a gun.
