The hall was in disarray, and the atmosphere was frozen.
Gu Daozi's words caused Huo Fei and Qing Mang's expressions to change slightly. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with seriousness.
Thirty thousand ghosts have disappeared?
Last night, they stayed in the space created by the mysterious person until midnight. On their way back, they did encounter a group of lingering ghosts in the neighborhood. But at that time, those ghosts hadn't disappeared.
The green python's eyes were sinister: "The missing ghost has nothing to do with me." This burden was too heavy for him to bear.
"Nonsense. Someone reported that they were stopped outside Minghao Community and not allowed to go home." Gu Wenyi said indignantly, "You were around Minghao Community. Even if you didn't do it, you can't escape responsibility for this."
Actually, this matter is indeed related to the Green Python and its demons.
If they hadn't chosen to live in Minghao Residential Complex, Jiu Yuanqing wouldn't have set up an array outside the complex, and those ghosts wouldn't have been kept out of their homes. In the end, Qingmang wasn't entirely unjustly blamed.
As soon as Gu Wenyi finished speaking, the green python immediately knew where this calamity had come from.
He said, "Why are there so many demon hunters suddenly appearing in Qingcheng today, and why are they all heading towards Minghao Residential Area? It turns out the reason is here."
"The ghost's disappearance has nothing to do with him." Huo Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a cold face, "I was with him last night."
This matter concerns the underworld, and it must be made clear.
Although Yama doesn't concern himself with matters of the mortal world, he will never let things go when they involve the underworld.
The demon race is now walking on thin ice, and tensions are high between them and the demon hunters, with war looming at any moment. In this situation, wouldn't it be better to offend Yama, the King of Hell, once again?
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priests paused slightly and looked at each other.
It seems Huo Fei is determined to protect the Green Python... This is a bit tricky.
In fact, they had already begun to have doubts while chasing the green python. Although the green python was surrounded by a gloomy mist, it wasn't ghostly energy. If it had truly devoured 30,000 ghosts, then the ghostly energy wouldn't have disappeared so quickly.
The appearance of the green python in Minghao residential area was too coincidental, leaving them no choice but to be suspicious. Until the truth came to light, they had no choice but to keep pursuing the green python.
“Since Protector Huo says so, we won’t make things too difficult for him.” Gu Daozi said calmly, “But this concerns the Underworld, and Yama himself came to the mortal realm to issue the mission. In this situation, it’s no longer up to us.”
After saying that, Gu Daozi changed his tone and said, "Why don't you come with me and explain to King Yama in person?"
They didn't want to offend Huo Fei; but they also didn't want to offend Yama, the King of Hell. Besides, the mass disappearance of 30,000 ghosts in the mortal realm was entirely due to the demon hunters' negligence...
Every year during the Ghost Festival, exorcists are mobilized to prevent ghosts from the underworld from causing trouble in the mortal world.
After all, not all ghosts are law-abiding. And the world changes so much; people in the mortal realm frequently move, and many ghosts, once they leave the underworld, can't find their way home. At this time, exorcists will step in temporarily, acting as police officers to help the lost ghosts find their way home.
Last night, the people in charge of Qingcheng were two unofficial exorcists who lived nearby. According to them, Qingcheng was peaceful last night; apart from a power outage in the middle of the night, no troublesome ghosts appeared. Even the ghosts that came looking for them to guide them didn't show up.
The disappearance of 30,000 ghosts is extremely suspicious. It's obvious that someone is up to something.
And the person who caused the trouble was particularly skilled.
Upon hearing this, Huo Fei closed his eyelids slightly, his thoughts racing.
After a moment, he looked up, his gaze falling on the second-floor railing: "No need, you just need to take that Asura to Yama, and he will find out the truth."
The appearance of this Asura in Qingcheng was too much of a coincidence. This guy acts without any rhyme or reason, clearly a reckless and unscrupulous individual. Moreover, the Asura's diet is astonishing; all demons and monsters are their food.
Don't be fooled by the fact that she's only eating people today; she's eating both the body and the soul.
The human upstairs whose leg was torn in half also had a broken leg in his soul. That unfortunate fellow will be reincarnated with a missing leg in his next life. This disability will stay with him no matter how many times he is reincarnated.
The Asura race is truly hated by everyone.
Like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to kill it. Not to mention demons and monsters, according to the old abbot who raised it, there was once a king of Asuras who ate a minor immortal.
Even immortals became their food, let alone ghosts from the underworld. Fortunately, this race was not prosperous, and perhaps knowing that they were not well-liked, they rarely walked in the world.
Otherwise, the world would probably have been plunged into chaos and bloodshed long ago.
"What... Asura."
"Shura..."
"This thing dares to cause trouble in the human world; it is simply unforgivable."
Huo Fei had barely uttered the word "Asura" when the five Taoist priests who were locked in a stalemate with him tensed up, all of them startled. They instantly drew their magical artifacts, and all five pairs of eyes turned to look in the direction Huo Fei was staring.
Huo Fei's appearance put them all on edge. Even though the scene was stained with blood and extremely strange, they had no mind to investigate the cause.
Upon suddenly hearing the word "Shura" and recalling the blood on the floor, the Taoist priests instantly understood the reason.
"Take it."
Luo Mang stood in front of Yin Huan, and with a flick of his wrist, threw the struggling Shura into the center of the hall.
Bang--
With a loud bang, Wenyan was slammed hard onto the ground.
As soon as they landed, several old Taoist priests reacted quickly, throwing a handful of yellow talismans at Shura, completely imprisoning Wenyan.
After suppressing the legendary Asura, the Taoist priests choked in horror before finally having a chance to examine the monster on the ground.
