Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Shadow Puppet (Second Update)_1

Seeing Sun Mingyu walking away, Wei Shuxian turned to you and said, "Old Shu, I’ll say it again, be sparing with your resources. You must be careful in the future, and don’t use those peculiar abilities on others."

You nodded, actually, the moment Wei Shuxian patted your shoulder, you had already thought of that.

"I was indeed a bit out of it. The constant barrage has been hard to deal with all at once." Saying this, you couldn’t help feeling a bit defeated. After all, having the Sen Luo Eye gave you many advantages in handling things, yet during this incident, although both Liao Yong and Liu Qing were rescued, everyone suffered different degrees of injuries, and the opponents were just ordinary mercenaries. Even if their combat skills were strong, they were still just normal people; if you had been like them with just slightly stronger abilities than ordinary people, you probably would’ve been on the Netherworld Road by now.

So, in a sense, you lost.

The first clash, a complete defeat!

"It’s normal, our opponents have always been those ghosts. Compared to man-eating ghosts, humans are much more terrifying and difficult to deal with," Wei Shuxian said, patting your shoulder, "If I’m not mistaken, this was just a probe. Their purpose in doing this was to figure out what we’re capable of."

"Right, thankfully you warned me in advance, or else they would probably already know that I possess the Sen Luo Eye."

Yang Kai, who was also sitting next to you, furrowed his brows and said, "The opposition is strong, huh? That shadow just now was the thing Old Shu spoke of earlier, it seemed not human."

"That’s a rather advanced form of puppetry technique called shadow puppetry."

Yang Kai looked at you and asked, "What do we do now?"

You and Wei Shuxian exchanged glances and simultaneously said, "Pretend like nothing happened."

"What?!"

"Alright, with your wooden head, you wouldn’t be able to grasp the intricacies involved anyway. Go help Black Bull, we need to head to the hospital first. The effects of the Shénwǔ incantation are about to wear off, and soon both of us will turn into a pile of mud."

As soon as Wei Shuxian finished speaking, three off-road vehicles charged in.

Naturally, the fastest was the Crazy Woman’s Dongfeng Warrior; she was the only one who drove as if her life depended on it.

Sure enough, Xian Qianling pushed the car door open hastily, her face showing a slight panic.

"How are you?"

It was as if Xian Qianling saw only you, she rushed up to you, grabbed your hands, and looked you over from head to toe.

"I’m alright, just a bit of internal injury. I’ll recover after some rest and recuperation."

Only then did the three of you slowly stand up, and at that moment, Xiao Feng and a group of club members arrived.

"Li Muyun, you bastard, such a big incident happened and you didn’t even tell me!"

Xiao Feng appeared rather frantic, seeing the five of you in such a state, his face was filled with guilt and self-reproach.

"More people doesn’t necessarily mean getting things done, I underestimated our opponents this time." You stepped forward and patted Xiao Feng’s shoulder.

Wu Qiyi’s red BMW X5 also pulled up beside you, and she was the first to jump out and stride quickly to you, immediately feeding you a Returning Yuan Pill without a word.

"I’m sorry to have worried you."

Seeing the deep concern on Wu Qiyi’s face, a sense of apology rose in your heart.

With a faint smile, Wu Qiyi’s expression in the moonlight appeared pure and enchanting, "As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters."

You turned your head to look at the red off-road vehicle, Since getting out of the car, Zhao’er had not come over. Instead, she looked around as if she was searching for something.

"Zhao’er, what’s wrong?"

You walked over to her.

Zhao’er, who was searching all around, suddenly twisted her body. She abruptly extended her hand towards you, Normally soft and gentle, her hand now emitted a strange and ghostly blue glow. Her hand passed through your shoulder and reached behind you, with a snap of her fingers, it seemed like she had grasped something in the air!

Zhao’er then dragged the black shadow, resembling an infant, before you. Right in front of you, without hesitation, she enveloped it with the ghostly blue flames in her hand, igniting it.

"Squeaaal!!!!!"

The infant shadow let out an extremely shrill scream, before it was incinerated into nothingness in the blue flames.

At that very moment, in the basement of a villa within Yuhang City’s Southwest Residential Area, an elderly man with white hair enveloped in black smoke suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the black mist around him dispersed. The white-haired elder struggled to maintain his composure, his complexion growing increasingly ugly.

In the villa’s living room, Liu Bai was enjoying a bottle of wine priced at three hundred thousand with two confidants.

"I really didn’t expect Li Muyun to have such a masterful control over the Five Elements Spell," said a man with glasses in a grave tone, "Not to mention anything else, just his control over the Five Elements Spell alone could place him among the top ranks of the new generation of skilled practitioners within the Taoism Sect."

"Hmph, it’s just the Five Elements Spell. No matter how powerful, it can’t compare to Master’s Southern Witchcraft!" Hong Ruinian was evidently dissatisfied, a thick look of disdain on his face.

Liu Bai appeared very relaxed, a faint smile on his face, "Although this plan was somewhat hasty and the results exceeded our expectations, even to the extent of losing a powerful mercenary team, it was worth it. We now have a clear understanding of Li Muyun’s abilities. Next, we will see how Master Ghost’s witchcraft torments these people!"

"Young Master, Young Master! Something terrible has happened!" Just then, a woman dressed as a maid hurried into the living room.

"What’s the panic?" The maid’s frantic demeanor displeased Liu Bai immensely.

"Young Master, Master Ghost is in a bad way!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Ruinian immediately dashed toward the basement!

By the time Liu Bai and the bespectacled man reached the basement, they heard Hong Ruinian cry out in panic, "Master, Master, how are you? Don’t scare your disciple!"

Liu Bai hurried into the basement, walking up to an altar and, his face showing shock, looked at the white-haired elder sitting at the center of the altar, "Master Ghost, what’s happened to you?"

The Master Ghost could only extend a hand toward Liu Bai, making a garbled "klok, klok" sound from his throat.

"Master!"

"Master Ghost!"

This was the first time Liu Bai had ever seen Master Ghost in such agony since he had known him. He quickly turned to the man with glasses and commanded, "Hurry and call for the Medical Fairy!"

"Be... careful, that woman... Ahh!!!!"

Master Ghost suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream. Then, as Liu Bai and the others watched, ghostly blue flames emerged from his mouth, eyes, ears, and nostrils. These blue flames burned from within, incinerating Master Ghost’s body and his three souls and seven spirits in a flash!
