The mature ghost fetus is as big as an adult's open palm, with necrotic meridians appearing on the purple-blue skin surface, which is uneven and smells foul.
What's more, this thing crawled out of the stomach alive. The visual impact and the crushing psychological endurance were enough to make Xiao Gao, who was on the verge of emotional collapse, almost faint.
In her trembling pupils, this scene was reflected:
The ghost fetus's pair of white sunken eye sockets followed the movement of its head, staring intently at the fresh flesh and blood that was only blocked by a layer of soft skin and flesh.
Its mother.
Without even the time to dodge, Xiao Gao watched helplessly as the hideous face enlarged, its sharp teeth close at hand. The strong stench of corpse gushed out of its rotten, empty throat and all over his face.
The next moment, the jagged teeth would tear apart her head and her warm but fragile neck.
Xiao Gao's chest roared and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
The pain of having her throat torn did not come. She only heard a dull 'bang' sound, like a piece of meat or a sandbag being smashed into the wall, accompanied by the sharp squeak of some beast, which echoed in the room.
She couldn't help but open her eyelids, and saw Gu Zhisang standing at the end of the bed with a cold look in his eyes, his arms half-raised, and his palms half-grasping.
It was like there was an invisible force or existence trapped in her hand, holding it tightly.
As for the palm-sized ghost fetus, it fell against the wall of the room ten meters away, screaming in pain and grimacing.
Half of its body was dented by the beating, and its thin arms, like bamboo sticks, were bent.
If it was really a baby, it would have been dead or disabled with such serious injuries. However, after this ghost fetus crawled up from the ground, it was still alive and kicking like a gecko, and pounced on Gu Zhisang from the wall.
The moment the ghost fetus jumped, Gu Zhisang raised his palm and pushed outwards.
Just as it jumped into the air, it was slammed back against the wall by an invisible force, pinning it down so hard that it couldn't move no matter how hard it struggled.
This time, the ghost fetus' arms were flattened and became soft and mushy.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Gao's emotions were like a roller coaster. Before he could recover from his fear of the ghost fetus, Gu Zhisang calmed the ghost fetus's turmoil with his powerful and overwhelming control.
The tears that welled up in her eyes were about to fall, and everyone was stunned.
Gu Zhisang took a tissue and handed it to Xiao Gao: "Wipe your sweat, it's over."
Xiao Gao looked dazed, wiping the sweat and tears from his face:
"It's over?"
"That's right. I'll draw a talisman for you to protect and remove evil later. You should keep it with you." Gu Zhisang looked calm. He walked to the corner with a storage bag with Sanskrit characters on it, put the dying ghost fetus in it, and continued:
"You ate filthy and dirty things, and there are some residues in your body. After wearing the talisman for removing filth, you will have vomiting and diarrhea in the first few days. The vomited things are quite foul, but you will be completely cured once you vomit them all out."
"Your reaction period should be longer than the other two. In about half a month, you will be able to take off the talisman and return to normal life."
She tightened the bag, opened the door, and handed it to the team members waiting outside, asking them to strangle the three beasts of different sizes:
"Put it directly into the formation and shred it. Don't leave any life behind."
After the three bulging and still squirming bags were carefully taken away by the team members, Gu Zhisang carefully wiped his slender white fingers with a tissue.
Fortunately, these things were exposed early and were discovered and dissected out by her when they were hidden in human stomachs.
If they were allowed to wake up, not only would Xiao Gao and the other two be killed, but the surrounding area would also fall into a bloody zone.
By then, the ghost fetus that grows up through overeating will not be as easy to deal with as it is now, and she will not be able to squeeze it as she pleases.
Gu Zhisang asked the team members on duty to fetch talisman paper and brushes, and drew several talismans with dark ink, which he then gave to Xiao Gao and the other two.
The moment they received the talisman, the three girls felt as if their anxious hearts had finally settled down and everything was back on track.
Xiao Gao's eyes suddenly turned red: "Thank you, Sangsang, thank you for saving us."
The live broadcast clip in the evening went viral, and their families, friends, classmates and lovers all sent a series of messages, asking about their situation.
But they didn't have time to feel wronged until the danger was over and safety was confirmed.
After all, these three girls were still in their early twenties, still in school, and had just started their lives, but they almost died tragically because of the selfish desires of others.
After discussion, the three girls were unwilling to return to Sun Yue's rental house, even though the crisis inside had been eliminated.
They planned to stay in the lounge of the spirit group branch tonight, and move immediately tomorrow morning after asking relatives and friends for help.
The case of cannibalism was thus completely settled.
Gu Zhisang left the rest area and personally watched the three excised ghost fetuses. After they were burned to black ashes in the Samadhi True Fire Array, he went to the office area.
Due to the particularity of the new system and the fact that it is still in the research and development stage, it is difficult to let outsiders know the relevant inside information. Yan Cheng took the stolen goods alone - the problematic electronic equipment, installed the program plug-in separately, and tried to decipher it.
By the time Gu Zhisang finished dealing with things here, there was new progress on his side.
After knocking on the door and entering, Gu Zhisang swept his eyes across the table.
In order to ensure that data would not be lost, the confiscated mobile phones and computers were not flashed. With the help of the police station's network security personnel, the passwords have been cracked.
At this time, Yan Cheng put on his silver-rimmed frameless glasses again due to his work habits. His narrow peach eyes were hidden behind the lenses, reflecting the constantly flashing blue light of the display screen.
Several devices were turned on in front of him, connected by multi-port data cables, and ultimately converged on his own work device.
His slender, bony fingers tapped quickly on the thin keyboard. Strings of code beyond Gu Zhisang's expertise were input accurately and quickly, and displayed on multiple devices at the same time.
A progress bar flickered gently.
When it runs to 100%, a string of letters pops up:
SUCCESS!
“It worked.”
Yan Cheng curled his lower lip, subconsciously used his index finger to push the frame stuck on his nose up again, and looked up at Gu Zhisang:
"One computer's system was produced overseas and was incompatible with our company's applications. Another device was seriously damaged. There must be something wrong with the chip motherboard inside. Even if it was successfully inserted, the machine would not work and would freeze."
"The other two mobile phones and one computer have all been successfully implanted with new programs and plug-ins and can operate normally."
The severely damaged equipment belonged to internet celebrity Xiao Wu.
As for Sun Yue's mobile phone and the computer found in Guan Qihong's home, the plug-in was successfully implanted in them.
Gu Zhisang: "It doesn't matter. The most important thing is to succeed. Thank you for your help."
She looked closer and found that the device pages that had successfully installed and were running the plug-in had an icon of ancient ink characters flashing.
On the page, a huge red exclamation mark rotates quietly;
This is a warning sign that the internal spell code detected evil energy during its operation.
Gu Zhisang was quite interested and said with emotion: "It actually worked. We can call them in now."
Combining Taoism with programming and scientific ghost hunting was just an idea that suddenly popped up in her mind at the time, but who knew that it was actually successfully implemented.
After the team members came in, Yan Cheng had copied and packaged all the information and evidence hidden under metaphysical means that he had found after deciphering into a file and sent it to Gu Zhisang and the person in charge.
The trace of He Zhaosheng, who had been hiding for so long, slowly surfaced.
"After the data on Guan Qihong's computer was repaired, it can be seen that before he started the live broadcast, someone used special abilities to put a warning on his display screen, reminding him not to start the broadcast."
Gu Zhisang pushed the lit computer forward and showed it to the other people present, including Master Xuan who was in the online conference live broadcast room.
Although it was late at night, the head of the Spirit Team headquarters, upon receiving the news and learning that there had been major breakthroughs and progress in the case, immediately notified important personnel from some departments and held a meeting at around 11 o'clock in the evening to sort out the information on these interconnected cases.
There was a line of bloody words frozen on the computer screen.
Prior to this, several cyber security personnel had checked this device and found no trace of the existence of this line of blood words.
"If Guan Qihong hadn't been so arrogant and stupid and hadn't listened to this advice, we probably wouldn't have been able to catch him." Gu Zhisang said coldly:
"Everyone knows how fast and easy modern networks can spread information. Maybe a month from now, the number of ordinary people who have been poisoned by him and whose luck has been drained by him will increase by millions."
This was the first time for a senior network security officer who had been organizing data to come into contact with the supernatural circle. Before he was called out of bed to attend the meeting, he had never thought that network data could be changed or repaired by supernatural means.
Although he was shocked, he quickly sorted out the secret information that surfaced despite the pressure of being watched by ministers, bureau chiefs, and even generals in the conference room.
After sorting everything out, he reported with horror and nervousness:
"Reporting to all captains and ministers, we have just re-analyzed the data on Sun Yue's phone and tracked down the trader behind her. The specific IP address has been locked, and the address trace left in Guan Qihong's computer is located in Lin City, less than 100 miles away.
We believe that the main plotting group can be roughly divided into the southern part of J Province."
"In addition, there are a lot of clues and traces that show that this mastermind group is not only involved in these cases that endanger social order, but also has connections with the various fraud and trafficking groups we have been investigating. These people are in the same group!"
The more you know, the more terrifying it becomes.
What kind of criminal gang is behind this? They do things as small as violating family ethics to commit murder for money, and as big as threatening the safety of the entire society and the country!
From the working people on the streets to the students in the school, and even the glamorous celebrities with millions of fans on the Internet, all have been eroded and infiltrated.
Countless conspiracies and intrigues are hidden under the hustle and bustle of the city, like a huge spider web, enveloping too many ordinary people.
Even the Internet police who are only responsible for network security and do not understand how powerful the supernatural power is know that once these people and group chats distributed in various levels, regions and fields explode at the same time, how much turmoil and unrest will be brought to the country and society.
During the video conference, the head of the spiritual group slammed the table in anger.
This general, who had no metaphysical abilities but had single-handedly promoted the development and growth of the Spirit Group, now had gray hair on his temples, and his temperament was intimidating without him getting angry:
"Listen! How arrogant! Metaphysics is definitely not a tool for committing crimes. Our Xia country must not be a lawless place for these criminals to cause chaos!"
He looked at Gu Zhisang who remained silent and asked in a deep voice:
"Coach Gu, you were the first to come up with the concept of 'black fog', and you are also the one who has confronted it the most. You know more about it than those of us who sit in the headquarters and read documents all year round.
In your opinion, what should we do to completely eliminate these shady rats from the root? "
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Listen to me?"
The old man stroked the handle of the chair, his tone firm and sincere:
"Based on ability and experience, I don't think anyone in the group can compare to you, Coach Gu. This is why I went against all odds and asked you to be the chief coach of the Spirit Group."
“I still think so now.”
He had the courage to set up the spiritual group twenty or thirty years ago to help and support those sorcerers who were driven out by the hidden Xuanmen, and he was not hesitant about being targeted everywhere by the Xuanmen. The mind and courage of this general manager far exceeded those of ordinary people.
It can be said that without him, there would not be the current situation of Xuanmen flourishing throughout the Xia Kingdom and balancing the situation.
Because of his broad vision, the general manager knows more clearly how dangerous the "black fog" is.
It belongs to the idealistic level and is an existence that cannot be defeated by theory or weapons.
For ordinary people, it has no solution.
Only metaphysics can fight metaphysics.
With this overall perspective, the general manager thought there was nothing wrong with delegating power to Gu Zhisang;
Even though she is young and her job is not serious enough.
After the general manager's voice fell, there was silence inside and outside the meeting, and everyone's eyes fell on Gu Zhisang.
Being pushed to a more important position, even to fight against the "black fog" and guide the actions of nearly a hundred departments of the entire spirit group, was not an easy job for Gu Zhisang, but she did not have too much resistance.
Because as early as eight hundred years ago, her battle with the 'Black Mist' began.
The fight continues until death.
Rather than fighting alone, the chances of success are indeed greater if the whole country joins forces.
After thinking for a while, Gu Zhisang slowly said, "I'll try my best."
"Even if you want to eradicate the root of the problem, you have to prune away the 'branches and leaves' that are in the way first, and then proceed step by step."
Just like now.
He Zhaosheng is a smart genius. He believes that no one can catch him or find his flaws in the field of the Internet, so most of the industrial chains related to the "Black Fog" have passed through his hands.
It was too confident and never thought that Gu Zhisang and Yan Cheng could develop programming spells and catch ghosts scientifically.
Those undisguised traces were connected together after being exposed, becoming clearer and clearer, and even the areas where it often stayed could be identified.
It is not difficult to catch He Zhaosheng.
After confirming that this meeting was absolutely safe and confidential, and that those who could participate were all insiders, Gu Zhisang slowly spoke and laid out the plans one by one...
——
Let’s not talk about the turmoil in the conference room for now.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The homepages and hot searches of major forums were all flooded with news about the final vote for "Spiritual Matters". Countless viewers who were watching the fun or fans who were anxiously waiting for the voting to begin were active in the hot posts.
With five minutes left before voting began, the number of people waiting online exceeded 10 million.
On a webpage with a poster of "The Competition for the Strongest Mystic Master" in large black and red letters, the names and photos of the top four contestants of the third season are arranged together.
As soon as midnight passed, the voting channel opened on time.
Ten minutes later, a new term quietly became a hot search.
#Gu Zhisang's stock price has gone crazy! #
All netizens who clicked on the voting webpage could see the progress bar behind Gu Zhisang's name, which was far ahead of the three contestants behind him.
While the votes of others were still slowly increasing to 600,000, 700,000 or less than one million, Gu Zhisang's votes had already exceeded five million!
And the growth rate has not slowed down at all, but is increasing rapidly.
The championship title of the third season will undoubtedly fall on Gu Zhisang.
Various hot topics frequently topped the list, and the search volume and discussion number of the three words "Gu Zhisang" reached an unimaginable height.
Tonight belongs to Gu Zhisang.
[Ahhhh, Sangsang is worth it!! We are the strongest mystics! The 'gods' of metaphysics! ]
[Haha, who could have thought half a year ago that the entire Internet would be bewitched by Gu Zhisang, and that the beauty really went crazy after not hiding her strength, and became a top star.]
[Sisters, don't let your guard down. The voting channel will close at 6pm today. Don't forget to vote if you haven't voted yet tomorrow morning. ]
[It is said that the third season of "Spiritual Matters" has made a lot of money. The overseas licenses of many countries have been sold and it has entered the translation and proofreading stage. My friends who studied abroad all said that Gu Zhisang is very popular overseas. The enthusiasm of fans on the foreign network is no less than that in China. Many fans make their own translations and some even read the raw content directly, and they are all praising her.
I saw a few comments in the voting channel just now from an unknown country. They must be fans from overseas who voted by climbing over the firewall (laughs)]
[Looking forward to Sangsang’s live broadcast to answer questions about Feng Shui metaphysics~]
Before one o'clock, Gu Zhisang's vote count exceeded ten million.
While the world of the living was hotly discussing the vote for the strongest mystic master, the heat in the underworld was no less intense.
Many fans of the underworld ghosts knew that even without their votes, Gu Zhisang's votes were far ahead and his victory was a foregone conclusion.
But since they could not take part in the voting, they lost their sense of participation. The dissatisfied ghosts caused quite a commotion and tried to persuade the programmer ghosts who were building the network project in the underworld to find a way to connect the voting channels between the Yin and Yang worlds.
"Ghost fans are also fans, why can't we participate?!"
However, this riot was bluntly rejected and forcefully suppressed by Yama Palace and the underworld officials.
It would be chaos if the ghosts were allowed to vote.
You should know that there are billions of ghosts in the underworld.
The number of Gu Zhisang's fans in the underworld has now exceeded 6 billion.
This number is even three or four times the number of living people in the world!
If we really let all these ghost fans go to vote, I'm afraid they will scare the living people in the world to death.
The ghosts were very dissatisfied that their demands were not met, but it was of no avail. Finally, they started a voting in the underworld on the online platform of the underworld.
This time, Gu Zhisang's votes soared even more outrageously, with the unit of counting being '100 million'.
As time went by, the Internet gradually quieted down until after two in the morning when most of the netizens, who had finished their activities and cast their votes, went to sleep.
But it's not just ordinary people who are paying attention to this referendum.
It can be said that every person outside the world, whether they are from the spiritual group or the Taoist magicians, are paying attention to Gu Zhisang's increase in value.
Even though everyone knew that Gu Zhisang's supporters would definitely not be small, many warlocks who knew the inside story couldn't help but feel jealous when they saw his support rate still rising.
The first two seasons were not large in scale, with the number of votes for the champion being only around one million at most.
Even so, the half-baked sorcerer still gained a lot of benefits from it and his skills improved a lot.
The audience's support and love, and their eagerness to put the person they support on the 'throne', will make their votes concrete, just like the power of incense being absorbed into the body of the person they support.
If a million supports can help you improve your cultivation, what about tens of millions?
What about tens of millions?
To be fair, there is no sorcerer who does not envy and jealous Gu Zhisang. They wish they could be the ones to receive such support.
A certain master in the internal group sighed:
"Is Gu Zhisang going to soar to the sky?"
'She is a big shot. She attacked the Qianqing Sect and even took away the mountain-guarding tree of the Qianqing Sect. Until now, the elders there have not troubled her. Doesn't that prove something? My master said that Gu Zhisang is at least a ground-level master, on the same level as the old predecessors of various sects, and has the ability to be arrogant.
Just kidding, I really doubt that after today, she will be able to break through the heavenly path and ascend to heaven on the spot after collecting so many beliefs.'
"Back then, many people in the sect looked down on her, thinking she was a nobody. Now she is almost a generation younger than us, and her attainments in metaphysics are far superior to ours."
"Daoist Master Zhenhe of the Qianqing Sect has come out of retreat. Have you heard about it? Will the current number one person in the metaphysical world who has one foot in the Tianmen Sect go to cause trouble for Gu Zhisang?"
"Senior Zhenhe has come out of retreat? It's hard to say if he's going to teach Gu Zhisang a lesson, after all, this guy is a great man who has lived for hundreds of years!"
"……"
Someone revealed that the old leader of the Qianqing Sect, who had been in seclusion for many years, happened to come out today, and the group immediately exploded.
Speaking of Taoist Zhenhe, he is the reason why the Qianqing Sect is so arrogant and yet can still firmly occupy the top position in the Xuanmen.
It is said that he has witnessed the rise and fall of two dynasties, and to this day, he is the sorcerer closest to being an "immortal".
I have been in seclusion for more than ten years, and I never thought that the time to come out would be so coincidental.
Gu Zhisang had never cared about the reputation of the Qianqing Sect before, and had embarrassed the number one sect of the Xuanmen many times.
The old strong man and the powerful up-and-coming star have already become enemies even though they have never met.
For a moment, the metaphysical world was shaken, and everyone was speculating whether the two sides would confront each other again.
Gu Zhisang, who was far away on the edge of City X, had no idea of the rapid changes taking place on the Internet and in the metaphysical world tonight.
While the meeting was still going on, she seemed to have sensed something.
The Taoism that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly began to ripple, and the fluctuations became stronger and stronger.
She checked the time on her phone and realized it was already past midnight.
There were already hundreds of messages, and the friends and colleagues she had met over the past year had all sent her private messages to celebrate for her in advance.
Yan Cheng: 'The voting has begun, and you are first.'
Daisy: "Sangsang, your votes are increasing very fast, it's amazing! I am convinced that I lost to you, and we will compete together in the future!"
Bai Ci: 'Congratulations.'
Ge Liaochan: "Sister Sang, awesome!"
Yu Qiutong: "Ah ...
Xi Haihong: "Pay attention to the Ganqing Sect! Their old leader is leaving the customs today!"
He Mi Tu: "Congratulations, and thank you for helping my sister."
"……"
It turned out that because the voting channel was opened, her votes soared, and everyone knew that she must be the strongest master.
He Mi Tu's instructions were accompanied by an expression of gratitude. It should be that under the arrangement of the Spirit Group, he had met his long-lost sister, who had practiced the Flying Head Magic.
The opening of the voting channel brought Gu Zhisang not only a large number of votes, but also countless power of faith.
She had thought it would be intense, but she had never imagined it would be so rich.
Even though the restraints on her were very heavy, she still moved under such a strong impact.
Gu Zhisang forcefully suppressed the surging power in his body, arranged the remaining key points clearly, and after giving a few instructions, he hurriedly left the branch and headed for a nearby barren mountain.
The moonlight shone all over her, making her look like a goddess as she ran through the forest.
"Boom!" A muffled sound broke through the sky.
The woman with clear features under the moon looked up and saw light purple electric traces spreading like a spider web slowly in the twilight. The remaining faint light illuminated her unparalleled beautiful face.
This is just the beginning.
A greater catastrophe was brewing in the distance, rapidly gathering in her direction.
Dark clouds covered the city, and the black color rolled in.
Hidden in the clouds are thunders that are constantly accumulating strength and colliding densely to produce lightning, making the dark clouds look like the sea, and the rolling and fluctuating lightning are like ripples in the sea.
In an instant, a silver-white crack like a strong light silently tore through the sky and illuminated half of the city.
Gu Zhisang stopped walking, looked up at the sky, his eyes calm.
The long-awaited thunder tribulation appeared above her head again.
The sound was so powerful, just like the one when she was going through the tribulation eight hundred years ago. It seemed as if it was accumulating enough thunder to split her into ashes before it slowly fell.
With the overlapping of light and shadow, Gu Zhisang's face was clearly light and dark.
She was in a quite calm mood. Perhaps it was because she had experienced a thunder tribulation once before, so she was not so nervous. She even had the mood and energy to think about whether there was still something hidden in this thunder tribulation that wanted to kill her.
Her mind moved and she felt a strange fluctuation in her brain.
The system wakes up.
But contrary to its usual noisy nature, it did not make a sound.
So Gu Zhisang didn't ask any questions, and waited quietly for the thunder to fall with the momentum and energy still surging around him.
…
At the same time, in another city.
For the disciples of the Qianqing Sect, today should have been a day that made them feel like a thorn in their throat.
Because Gu Zhisang's votes soared, they knew that this meant the other side could profit more.
However, the unusual movement in the back mountain quickly made all the disciples ecstatic, more excited than the New Year.
"The headmaster has come out of seclusion? ! ! "
Taoist Zhenhe, the number one person in the world of metaphysics today, is said to have entered the Qianqing Sect in the 44th year of Fengguang - that is, 330 years ago.
In this age when spiritual energy is exhausted and becoming an immortal is almost a legend, his excessively long life and powerful ability to reach heaven in half a step make him feared, respected, and admired by the entire metaphysical world.
At least in this old predecessor who spanned two dynasties, the sorcerers in the metaphysical world could still see a glimmer of possibility of "attaining the truth."
Therefore, the Qianqing Sect with him and after his retreat is a completely different existence in the eyes of many sorcerers.
The reason why Qianqing Sect can hold the top spot in the Xuanmen is entirely because of the presence of such an old monster.
Prior to this, there had been frequent unusual movements inside and outside the metaphysical world, with evil being revived. Many of these incidents were caused by the Qianqing Sect's lax discipline, which led to rebellion among its disciples. This caused the sorcerers in the country to complain about the Qianqing Sect.
The status of Qianqingmen in Xuanmen has also declined significantly.
Now that Taoist Zhenhe has suddenly come out of retreat, the people of Xuanmen have to reconsider their attitude towards Qianqingmen...
In the inner hall
The acting headmaster and several elders knelt below, trying hard to suppress their excitement and glory:
"Grandfather, you finally came out!"
"Uncle-master, that kid named Gu stole the mountain wood that was used to guard the mountain of our sect, and he has been targeting our disciples of the Qianqing Sect everywhere. He is so arrogant and insolent!" The elder who once led a team to besiege Gu Zhisang and tried to plunder the jade finger bone from her body had a sunken face and a gloomy expression.
The old man knelt in front of the hall, his tone filled with indignation and resentment. It was obvious that he was still brooding over what happened at that time and tried to get Taoist Zhenhe to take action.
"A bunch of rubbish."
However, the middle-aged Taoist priest sitting high above shouted.
Although there was no emotion in his tone, it still made the elders below break out in cold sweats and feel nervous.
Judging from his appearance, you would never imagine that this Taoist Zhenhe is so old. He looks more like an ordinary man in his forties.
He was dressed in cloth, with his hair tied up, and had an ordinary face. However, his wrinkled eyes contained a cold light that made people dare not look him in the face.
He sneered: "The Void stays, the others go away."
Soon, there was only one uneasy Taoist priest left in the huge front hall.
The acting leader, who was so arrogant and in control of the world in the outside world, is now as scared as a quail.
"Void, do you know where you are stupid?"
A light question made Taoist Xukong sweat profusely:
"Grandfather, it is my fault that I was stupid and failed to take care of the sect, which brought disgrace to the reputation of the Qing Sect..."
"You are stupid, even more stupid than a pig!" Taoist Zhenhe's voice suddenly became solemn, with deliberate oppression, heavily hitting Taoist Xukong:
"Gu Zhisang is just a little girl who has risen to prominence. Even if she is extremely talented, how could she have reached such a high level in just one year? Have you ever doubted her identity?"
The Void Taoist felt a sharp pain all over his body and replied in a trembling voice:
"My dear ancestor, I do suspect that she was possessed by some old monster, but I... I have searched all the sorcerers who have died in the territory in the past hundred years, but I have not found anyone who can match her..."
"Many disciples also said that they had seen Gu Zhisang's soul in the underworld, and it was no different from her physical body..."
Taoist Zhenhe had a gloomy expression and no one knew what he was thinking about.
He stared at Taoist Xukong for a long while, thinking that this man was his confidant after all, and all his secrets that could not be made public were handled by him.
The Void is still useful to him, so it's not good to treat it harshly all the time.
Thinking of this, he slowly put away the heavy pressure in the hall and suddenly asked:
"How are those industries doing?"
Taoist Xukong became even more nervous, and after hesitating for a while, he stammered:
"Master, ever since Gu Zhisang was recruited into the Spirit Team, he has discovered many of our businesses. In order to avoid being targeted by the Spirit Team, I can only cut off my own arms."
"There are not many industries still running now." He quickly added: "But there are still a lot of stocks from before, all of which are carefully stored in the warehouse. When this storm is over, I will think of a way!"
Taoist Zhenhe's eyebrows twitched and anger arose in his heart again.
He finally suppressed it and waved his hand impatiently:
"Forget it, you go out too."
"Yes, ancestor."
When there was no one else in the front hall except him, a voice suddenly sounded in Taoist Zhenhe's mind:
'Who do you think Gu Zhisang is? There is no other possibility except the unknown second-generation successor of Xuanmen.'
"She's back. She wants to take back what belongs to her from us..."
"The orthodoxy of the Qianqing Sect must not be destroyed in our hands, never!"
"……"
The voice was ethereal and elusive, like a devil's sound piercing his ears, but it was completely his own voice!
Taoist Zhenhe had a complicated expression and hesitated for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up, waved his sleeves, and went towards another forbidden area of the sect.
The forbidden area protected by layers of formations is a place that only the orthodox descendants of the Qianqing Sect are qualified to enter. It can only be passed down after the previous sect leader personally teaches the method of entering to the next one.
And no new warlock has visited this place for three hundred years.
Taoist Zhenhe found the secret file left by the previous head, who was also his master, and opened it with a serious face and read it again.
He couldn't help but recall the Master's sigh before he passed away:
"Zhenhe, our foundation of the Qianqing Sect... was not obtained in a glorious way. We stole the orthodoxy inherited by the Xuan Sect..."
"But even so, you must pass on the sect and secure the orthodoxy..."
