Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 614: Chapter 0614: Luofeng (Additional 6800, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

“The underworld is empty, evil spirits in the human realm?”

Xu Changqing’s soul trembled, quickly nodding: “That’s right… otherwise, there wouldn’t be any ghosts! Wait a minute, can the souls of mortals remain for seven days? That means…”

“That’s right, look around nearby, if you’re lucky, you might even be able to see Li Shitou and Wang Hu.”

At the same time that Xu Changqing was exploring the underworld, Su Lu was also taking in the spirit world of this world.

“The three-layered Spirit World became one, but it’s not that suitable for the existence of spiritual bodies… And, the barrier between the Underworld and the Human Realm is very weak, so weak that even Xu Changqing’s soul could return back if there is a guide… No wonder all the evil spirits have run off to the mortal realm to cause chaos.”

“However, this is just the outermost layer of the Underworld. Perhaps there are still strong beings hidden deep within its depths… From that weird creature, I already knew that the spiritual bodies of this world also have professions like [Necromancer], but they’re not the same…”

He was silently observing, watching Xu Changqing arrive at the ruins.

This was an archway building with flying eaves, where you could vaguely see the vermillion pillars and the gilt tiles.

However, the once magnificent beauty had now become ruins.

Xu Changqing looked at the red string behind him, walked up to the broken plaque, and wiped it with his sleeve: “Lu… Feng?”

He could only see the first two words, the trace of the words behind were already blurred.

“Lu Feng? Is this a person’s name or an official title? Or a place name?”

Xu Changqing curiously asked.

Unfortunately, Su Lu is ignorant of this too.

His understanding of the underworld of this world is actually only slightly more than Xu Changqing’s.

“The regions of humans and the underworld sometimes coincide… In the surroundings, there should still be remnants of the Village Protection Squad’s spiritual bodies…if that ‘Corpse Resolving Immortal’ didn’t specifically obliterate them!”

Su Lu said.

Actually, for the ants that were not blocking his path, that big figure couldn’t be bothered with them.

Therefore, the chances of finding Li Shitou and the others around here are very high.

“But be careful not to break the red string on your body and return as soon as the rooster crows… Otherwise, if you get permanently lost in the Underworld, your body in the human world would die.

Su Lu reminded.

“Alright!”

Xu Changqing nodded solemnly, looking for them in the ruins.

This ruin is a nearby landmark building, he felt that any soul would unknowingly gravitate towards it.

Moreover, there might be remaining ‘Weird Creatures’ inside.

“Nothing… nothing…”

Xu Changqing struggled to turn over a piece of rubble, shaking his head in disappointment: “No people, no weird creatures, even few words… apart from knowing that this mansion is related to ‘Lu Feng’, I know nothing…”

Just then, he caught something in the corner of his eye, spotting a certain soul: “Shitou! Shitou…is it you?”

Xu Changqing joyfully ran over to a soul.

This soul resembled Li Shitou, with a dazed expression, muttering: “Dead…they’re all dead…”

“Hey, hey… Shitou, it’s me, Little Qingzi!”

Xu Changqing waved his hand in front of Shitou: “Do you see my cropped hair? You were the one who chopped it off…”

“Little Qingzi?”

Li Shitou glanced at him expressionlessly: “All dead… dead…”

“Are you talking about Captain Wang Hu and the others? Where are they?”

Xu Changqing shook Li Shitou’s shoulder, finding that he seemed to have turned into a puppet, only knowing how to mutter unconsciously.

“Grandpa… what’s happening?”

“It seems… Although that ‘immortal’ did not specifically kill his soul, the unconscious release of aura or a glance, had caused terrible damage to Li Shitou, creating an extremely severe impact…”

Su Lu’s voice echoed in Xu Changqing’s heart: “He is a qi refining martial artist. His soul is stronger than that of an ordinary person, so he can still hold on. However, other than Wang Hu… I’m afraid the rest have already been shattered.”

Xu Changqing felt like he had been struck by lightning, standing frozen.

“Cuihua!”

After a moment of silence, he suddenly shouted in Li Shitou’s ear: “Where is Cuihua?”

“Dead…”

Li Shitou’s expression froze.

“Don’t you want to avenge her?”

Xu Changqing continued to shout.

“Right… revenge, I want revenge!” Li Shitou’s muddled eyes slightly cleared up, but the resentment on his body suddenly increased.

It seemed that he would turn into a ‘resentful spirit’ in no time!

“Li Shitou, where are Captain Wang and the others?”

Xu Changqing hurriedly asked.

“Little Qingzi?” Li Shitou’s voice was hoarse, as if he had just come to his senses: “Lv Bao is dead, his soul dispersed… Wang Hu’s soul is still here, but he has changed… He has become cold and brutal in this world, occasionally going crazy and disappearing for no reason.”

“I… I had heard some methods from grandpa before about how to resist the pollution of spiritual energy, that’s why I had been able to hold on until now, but my mind is gradually becoming less clear…”

“Your grandpa is here too!” Xu Changqing quickly said: “Grandpa… Think up something quick!”

‘This is rather interesting, another specimen… Also, from the mysterious side, death is definitely not the end… And this Underworld seems to be hiding many mysteries. It’s just that I’m not suitable to stay here all the time.’

Su Lu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: “Method… Of course there is one! Do you remember the ‘weird creature’ Zhou Quan took away?”

“I remember.”

“It once belonged to a [Ghost Officer]. I got the information on this profession from it… Oh, in your words, it would be a cultivation method! If given to Li Shitou to cultivate, it might alleviate his situation, and he won’t have to deal with the seven-day disintegration limit…”

In Su Lu’s view, this so-called [Ghost Officer] was a first-class profession.

However, the conditions for taking office are somewhat harsh – you need to be physically dead, and only the soul remains.

In general, it’s somewhat similar to [Necromancer], yet not entirely the same.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“What should I do?” Xu Changqing asked eagerly.

“Follow my chant…”

Su Lu began, uttering a complex and tongue-twisting spell.

Xu Changqing could only manage to mimic the syllables, unable to understand its meaning at all.

But Li Shitou at the side seemed to have understood, and the soul aura that was dissipating around him began to condense, turning into a black color.

His fierce face gradually calmed down, but the hatred in his eyes did not disappear, instead, it became more concentrated and reserved.

At the same time, the clothes on his body also changed, transforming into a set of pure black armor, with one hand becoming large and fierce, wrapped in black iron chains.

“Indeed, he’s a [Ghost Officer]!”

Su Lu said in Xu Changqing’s mind: “From now on, Li Shitou might be considered a minor deity of the Underworld…”

This was actually a successful initiation into a first-class profession, but Xu Changqing certainly wouldn’t understand.

“Those who are [Ghost Officers] are servants of ghost capturing! The ghost hand and chain of Li Shitou are very good at capturing souls…this is somewhat similar to [Spirit Medium]…”
