Chapter 508: Both Sides Suffered Losses
Xian Ya’s face paled in the dark. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Zhou.
However, Lu Zhou ignored her expression and created an illusion of a rope to tie her up.
“Senior Brother, bring her to the Netherworld.”
No matter how powerful an Emperor Ghost was, it could not enter the Netherworld. Even if Xian Jing could enter, he could not do anything in the King of Hades’ territory.
Lu Ying said, “I’ll bring her down. The two of you go and find Sect Master Kong and the rest.”
The King of Hades nodded. In terms of strength, Xian Ya was still not Lu Ying’s match.
After all, their ages were evident.
Ignoring Xian Ya’s struggles, Lu Ying opened the path to the Netherworld and pushed her in. She entered after her.
On Shangguan Dian’s side, he looked at the puppet behind him suddenly collapse and could not help but be puzzled.
As Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan had Invisibility Talismans on them, he could not see anyone.
Seeing that more than half of the puppets had collapsed in a short while, although he was puzzled, he knew that they should be on the same side.
When he thought of this, Shangguan Dian continued destroying the puppets.
After all the puppets on the street collapsed, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Uncle Demon King, is that you?”
Shangguan Dian was stunned. “Little niece?”
Lu Sheng tore off her Invisibility Talisman and smiled. “It’s me.”
Seeing Lu Sheng tear off the Invisibility Talisman, Chu Sihan also tore it off.
Shangguan Dian, who saw the two of them, was shocked. He hurriedly tore off the Invisibility Talisman and looked at the two of them. “Why are you here? Where’s your master?”
Lu Sheng said, “Master and the rest went to meet Grandmaster and the rest. We came over to help you.”
“Nonsense!”
Shangguan Dian frowned. “Hurry up and put on the Invisibility Talisman.”
What if the Emperor Ghost discovered them?
How could he handle it alone?
“Why did Ah Zhou and the King of Hades leave you behind?”
The more Shangguan Dian thought about it, the more shocked he became.
Chu Sihan said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Demon King. We’ll go to the Netherworld later. The Emperor Ghost can’t enter the Netherworld.”
“Then, go be on your way now.” Shangguan Dian looked around and looked at the two of them again. He said in a low voice, “I’m here. Leave quickly.”
The duo nodded slightly.
Chu Sihan waved his hand and a chilly wind blew.
The duo walked into the black hole and disappeared.
Shangguan Dian heaved a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at the street full of corpses and leaped up, floating in the sky.
A blue light emitted from his palm and shone on the corpses on the ground. After a while, the corpses suddenly turned into ashes and dissipated.
The street regained its peace. He retracted the light and headed in the direction Lu Zhou and the rest were.
Xian Jing waited in the courtyard for Xian Ya to bring the people back. However, after waiting for fifteen minutes, he still did not see her. This made him feel a little uneasy.
He wanted to report to the Emperor Ghost, but he was in seclusion and he did not dare to disturb him.
Because if he went over now, it was no different from courting death.
He wanted to leave and find Xian Ya, but he had to protect the Emperor Ghost and could not leave casually.
While he was hesitating, rustling sounds suddenly rang around him.
He frowned slightly and was about to take a look when a huge suction force suddenly sucked him over.
He knew that something was amiss and immediately resisted.
Unfortunately, the suction force was too strong and he could not resist at all.
Seeing that he was about to fall into the enemy’s hands, he could only shout, “Lord, run quickly. The people from the Five Peaks... Oh—”
Before he could finish speaking, his neck was strangled by a pair of big hands.
“Sect... Sect Master Kong!”
His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the person strangling him.
In the room, the expression of the Emperor Ghost, who was in seclusion, changed drastically when he heard that.
He turned into black mist and wanted to escape. However, just as he was about to escape from the courtyard, he was bounced back by a force.
The people hiding around them appeared.
Holding a fan, Chunyu Dong fanned himself and stood in the courtyard, looking at the Emperor Ghost with a faint smile.
“Let’s see how you escape this time!”
Peak Master Luo and Chunyu Dong stood side by side and looked coldly at the Emperor Ghost.
The Emperor Ghost stood on the roof and looked down at the group of people. He smiled coldly. “How dare you few ants confront me?”
Its voice was as unpleasant as usual. Chunyu Dong scratched his ear and frowned unhappily.
Peak Master Ji could not help but complain, “How can there be such unbearable sounds in this world? They’re even worse than duck cries.”
“Alright, cut it out and get down to business.”
Lu Zhou walked forward and spoke faintly.
After capturing Xian Jing, Sect Master Kong walked out slowly.
The Emperor Ghost did not look anxious. He remained standing on the roof.
The black robe enveloped it, preventing others from seeing its expression.
“Set up the array.”
With Sect Master Kong’s order, the disciples of the Five Peaks went forward to set up the array.
“Haha. Hahaha!”
The Emperor Ghost laughed crazily on the roof.
It faced Sect Master Kong and said disdainfully, “Kong Ling, do you really think this small array formation can trap me?”
Sect Master Kong was not angry. He only smiled faintly and said, “In the past, it might not be able to, but now, it might.”
The Emperor Ghost snorted coldly. Its gaze darted around, looking calm.
Lu Zhou and Chunyu Dong observed it for a while and had an ominous feeling.
However, the array formation was completed quickly.
A golden light lit up and instantly enveloped the Emperor Ghost.
With a shrill scream, the Emperor Ghost was shot down from the roof by that golden light. Its entire body turned into black mist and it was trapped in the eye of the array.
It knocked about frantically, but could not break through the formation.
No one else noticed it, but Sect Master Kong, Lu Zhou, and Chunyu Dong frowned.
“Something’s wrong.”
Chunyu Dong spoke faintly.
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”
Wen Yin looked at him suspiciously.
Everyone else looked at him.
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “No matter how weak the Emperor Ghost is, it can’t be this weak.”
Back then, the Five Peaks had spent all their efforts to suppress it. Now, it was trapped by a small array formation?
“Could it be a trick?” Peak Master Ji frowned.
“Very likely.”
Sect Master Kong said lightly, “Anyway, don’t lower your guard.”
Everyone nodded and their expressions changed from relaxed to tense again.
Sect Master Kong’s array formation was just to stall for time. He did not really think that this array formation could trap the Emperor Ghost.
However, when he saw that the array formation had trapped the Emperor Ghost, he felt that something was amiss.
As the saying goes, there must be a reason for something unusual to happen. He had to be careful.
They knew that this thing was more cunning than humans. If they were not careful, they would be torn to pieces by it.
Xian Jing was escorted by the people from the Five Peaks to the side with a strange smile.
When Lu Zhou saw this scene from the corner of his eye, he could not help but frown.
“Xian Jing, do you know something?”
Lu Zhou looked at Xian Jing and asked coldly.
Xian Jing suddenly burst into laughter. After a while, his laughter became louder. “Haha. Hahaha—”
Slap!
Lu Zhou slapped him and his laughter stopped.
Xian Jing spat out the blood in his mouth.
He looked at Lu Zhou and grinned, revealing a row of blood-stained teeth. His expression was very ferocious.
“Lord is not here at all. This is just its clone. You can’t find it. You definitely can’t think of where it went. Haha. Hahaha—”
As his voice fell, the black mist in the array formation disappeared instantly.
The array emitted a dazzling light and was destroyed.
Everyone’s expressions became very ugly.
Seeing that Xian Jing was still laughing maniacally, everyone felt even more depressed.
Lu Zhou narrowed his eyes and seemed to have thought of something. His face paled.
He turned back and said to Sect Master Kong, “Master, return to the Five Peaks quickly!”
“Too late! It’s too late! Hahaha—”
Xian Jing was still laughing maniacally, but everyone could not be bothered with him.
When Sect Master Kong heard Lu Zhou’s words, his expression changed drastically.
“Bring him along.”
He instructed before tearing open the void and entering first.
Lu Zhou followed closely behind. Although the others had yet to react, they followed suit.
Boom!
The group had just reached the foot of the Five Peaks when a loud bang was heard.
The ground shook, causing everyone to shake subconsciously.
After stabilizing themselves, they quickly flew up.
However, the scene in front of them made them widen their eyes.
The corpses of the disciples of the Five Peaks were everywhere, and the ice lake was blown into a hole.
The various peaks were also blown into pieces. The immortal realm that used to be there was now reduced to ruins.
In the sky, two figures, one black and one white, were fighting.
“It’s Master Yin!”
A disciple shouted.
Lu Zhou looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to have thought of something. His body trembled uncontrollably and he flew towards the ice mountain with reddened eyes.
The King of Hades and Shangguan Dian looked at each other and followed him.
“Junior Brother!”
Chunyu Dong shouted worriedly and wanted to follow them. However, seeing that Sect Master Kong had already joined the battle, he gritted his teeth and could only follow the other Peak Masters to join the battle against the Emperor Ghost.
Lu Zhou landed on the ice mountain. When he saw the intact ice mountain, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before running towards the entrance of the ice mountain.
“Ah Zhou!”
“Junior Brother!”
A cloud of black mist landed in the surroundings. With a bang, the ground shook again.
Seeing the corner of the ice mountain suddenly collapse, the expressions of the King of Hades and Shangguan Dian changed drastically.
Shangguan Dian looked up at the sky and said to the King of Hades, “Brother Yan, go and help. I’ll find Ah Zhou.”
“Then, be careful!”
Shangguan Dian nodded and ran into the hole of the ice mountain.
He had just entered when he saw Lu Zhou running out with someone in his arms.
Shangguan Dian was slightly stunned. He looked at the person in Lu Zhou’s arms and realized that she was no longer breathing.
It was the corpse of a girl in her twenties. She looked very eye-catching. Even though she was no longer alive, it did not affect her beauty at all.
Shangguan Dian had thought that no one could compare to the beauties of his demon race. However, when he saw the corpse in Lu Zhou’s arms, he realized that there was actually such a beauty in this world.
Compared to the beauties of his demon race, this girl had a pure and sacred beauty.
It was a beauty that others admired but did not dare to blaspheme.
After the two of them left the ice mountain, Shangguan Dian asked in a low voice, “Who’s this?”
Seeing Lu Zhou’s anxious expression, Shangguan Dian knew that this corpse was definitely not an ordinary person.
Lu Zhou glanced at him and said in a low voice, “This is Shenger’s original body.”
Shangguan Dian was stunned before reacting. “So, this is her original body!”
That’s right. Who else in this world could make Lu Zhou so nervous besides her?
“Thankfully! Thankfully, we made it in time!”
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and hurried to store the corpse with a magical weapon.
He looked at the nearby Green Peak and the sky. His eyes were bloodshot.
“Emperor Ghost!”
With a wave of his hand, the Green Peak Sword appeared instantly in his hand. He tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and leaped up to join the battle.
Seeing this, Shangguan Dian also joined the battle.
The Peak Masters of the Five Peaks, as well as the Sect Masters and disciples of the various Peaks, fought with the Emperor Ghost for three days and three nights.
In the end, both parties suffered losses and the Emperor Ghost took the opportunity to escape.
Countless disciples of the Five Peaks died and the peaks were reduced to ruins.
Master Yin was severely injured in the war with the Emperor Ghost. After the war stopped, the first thing he did was continue his seclusion.
Sect Master Kong led everyone to rebuild the various peaks.
As for Xian Jing and Xian Ya, they were brought to the Immortal Vanquishing Platform to be executed for betraying the Five Peaks. Their souls were thrown to the Thousand Beast Mountain to feed the Mythical Beasts.
The world regained its peace and the King of Hades returned to the Netherworld.
—————
Three months later.
Huang Yang Town.
It had been more than two months since Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan returned to the mortal world.
She had not seen Lu Zhou for the past two months and could not contact him.
Later on, she wanted to ask the King of Hades. Unexpectedly, Lu Ying told her and Chu Sihan that the King of Hades had entered seclusion after returning.
However, before entering seclusion, the King of Hades told Lu Ying that Lu Zhou and the rest were fine. However, as they were injured, they might have to enter seclusion for a while.
When Lu Sheng heard that Lu Zhou and the rest were fine, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After returning to the mortal world, the couple led their usual lives again.
Recently, as winter approached, the Lu family’s restaurant started to release new dishes such as hotpot.
New ways of eating were always especially popular. Even Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and the rest, were reluctant to leave.
They were unwilling to return to the capital. They wanted to stay in the Lu family’s restaurant and eat hotpot until they were tired of it before leaving.
However, in the end, they returned reluctantly.
They were getting married. As good friends, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan naturally had to follow them to the capital.
Even Qi Dongjing, who had not returned to the capital for years, followed them.
On the way back to the capital, Qi Dongjing did not speak much. Everyone could understand.
Shi Yi and Yu Mingyue’s marriage was at the end of the year, while Yun Ting and Fu Sisi’s was in spring.
Hence, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan stayed in the capital for almost half a year.
For the past six months, Lu Sheng had tried to contact Lu Zhou every day. The result was the same as usual. Nothing happened.
“When Uncle-Master Lu comes out of seclusion, he’ll definitely contact you personally. Don’t worry!”
Chu Sihan walked forward and hugged her as he consoled her softly.
Lu Sheng sighed softly and nodded.
“Dongjing wants us to go to the Qi Mansion tomorrow.”
Matriarch Qi was seriously ill. Old Master Qi was already old, and General Qi was outside the Great Wall. There was only a ten-year-old child left in the Qi family.
Hence, no matter how unwilling Qi Dongjing was, he had to return to the Qi Mansion.
