Chapter 631: Chapter 287 Five Dads

Above the courtyard of Dawn Palace, Silence Talismans burned to ashes and finally scattered down as ash.

The purpose of the Silence Talisman was not only to prevent outside sounds from coming in but also to keep sounds inside from going out.

Inside the palace, the performers seemed unaware of the scene below and one after another walked out of Dawn Palace.

They only remembered performing the "Heroic Demon Suppression Song", they saw nothing else—their memories had been tampered with by Black Pot.

Inside Dawn Palace, Yu Lingzi stood up, dazedly looking around, still somewhat shocked by the previous chaos.

The Thunder Sound and the melody of the Demon Suppression Song still echoed in his ears, difficult to calm down.

Apart from Li Tianqian, Gu Yan’er, and Ma Xueqing, who were still alive, the others had already lost their lives.

Only Chen Shi was still standing in the pool of blood, his violent Qi-Blood surging with thunder claps crackling around his body, creating a unique force field.

This thunder was an anomaly brought by the Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique, which burned his own Qi-Blood at the cost of great damage to his flesh and Nascent Soul; it could not be used for a long period, or else it would be self-destructive.

Chen Shi dispersed the Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique, and his six-foot-tall body of Thunder Ancestor slowly returned to normal.

The air was filled with the smell of blood burning.

His breath dropped sharply, his Qi-Blood depleted, becoming weak.

"Yu Lingzi, you should immediately return to Taihua Qing Palace".

Chen Shi’s voice woke him, "The catastrophe here was caused by me. I wasn’t calm. It has nothing to do with you. After you leave, I will let Black Pot erase the memories of everyone here. Even if they discover something, I will take full responsibility myself, and it will be unrelated to you."

Suddenly, Yu Lingzi spat out a short sword measuring about an inch, and with a swipe of his hand, it transformed into a beam of sword light, lightning-fast striking Li Tianqian between the eyebrows, then he drew back his hand and threaded the sword, moving it with his fingers, piercing in and out of the temples of Ma Xueqing and Gu Yan’er.

Chen Shi froze, looking at him puzzled.

"Since we’re in the same boat, a gesture of allegiance is necessary so the junior master uncle can trust me."

Yu Lingzi sheathed his sword, his sleeves fluttered and out flew tiles of talismans to form a Fengdu Soul-shaking Formation, trapping the Primordial Spirits of the three, and he also threw Jiang Fangshu and others’ bodies into the formation.

He stamped his foot heavily, and the Fengdu Soul-shaking Formation suddenly sank downward into the underworld.

That place of descent was a gathering place for ghost deities; many ghost deities raised their heads to watch.

Yu Lingzi activated the Fengdu Soul-shaking Formation, enveloping those ghost deities collectively; the array activated, tearing apart the skin of those ghost deities. Yu Lingzi also threw several lumps of thunder-fire into the formation, causing a thundering explosion.

Numerous ghost deities, quite embarrassed, furiously broke the Fengdu Soul-shaking Formation; the corpses inside the formation, along with the three Primordial Spirits were shredded to pieces.

Yu Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Junior master uncle can rest easy now."

He couldn’t help but feel uneasy; Chen Shi had committed major offenses and would surely need to cover his tracks. But now, he too had committed a major offense and was in it together with Chen Shi, so perhaps this junior master uncle wouldn’t eliminate him?

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment; Yu Lingzi’s method of destroying corpses and erasing traces just now was so adept, clearly, it wasn’t his first time doing this.

This little Taoist, definitely not a simple one!

Chen Shi hesitated, "There are also matters of Fan Kongliu..."

Yu Lingzi charged out, and Chen Shi started walking, feeling very heavy. Looking down, he saw intersecting lines of thunder marks around him, forming the talisman configuration of Thunder Ancestor, likely from the marks formed by the thunder when he dispersed his technique earlier.

"Stone Rock Lady was right, Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique consumes too much, it should not be used recklessly!"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, thought, "The Imperial Examination is imminent, it was indeed rash of me to use this method. The Tianpeng Demon Suppression Technique would have sufficed to eliminate them."

He circulated his Nascent Soul, conditioning his Qi-Blood, and the heavy feeling slightly alleviated.

Chen Shi walked out of Dawn Palace, followed by Black Pot, who altered the memories of the servants in the courtyard.

He had just reached outside the palace when he saw Yu Lingzi standing by a well, tying up a monk’s arms and legs from the Fan Kongliu, holding him by his legs, upside down, and throwing him into the Dragon-locking Well.

Fan Kongliu had been knocked unconscious by him, and when he was hung by the well, he happened to wake up, struggling desperately.

Yu Lingzi loosened his grip, and dropped the monk down.

After a long while, a plopping sound came from the bottom of the well.

Yu Lingzi rummaged through his sleeve, looking troubled.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Shi asked.

"Thunder Talismans and such."

Yu Lingzi said, "The well locks the Dragon King, iron chains connected to its five viscera. If these chains are struck by thunder, the lightning will strike the Dragon King’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The Dragon King, struck by lightning, will be in excruciating pain and will definitely be furious. Seeing Fan Kongliu, it will kill him. Sadly, I just used up all the talismans in my sleeve when covering tracks."

Chen Shi handed him several Five Thunder Talismans and Nine Yang Thunder Fire Talismans, curiously saying, "Yu Lingzi, who did you learn these things from?"

"My master."

Yu Lingzi activated the Five Thunder Talismans and Nine Yang Thunder Fire Talismans, throwing them into the well, saying, "When I was a child, my master and I traveled Jianghu, and when encountering injustices, he couldn’t help but become furiously impulsive, taking down those wicked officials. After doing so, he would always deeply regret and use various methods to destroy the corpses and erase traces. Observing him closely, I learned quite a bit."

Electrical flashes erupted in the well; followed by the chains rattling loudly as if a massive creature inside was enraged by the thunder, vigorously pulling at the chains, and the ground also trembled!

The two peered into the well; it was pitch black, invisible, but a fishy smell surged upward!
