Chapter 88: A Sudden Twist
Liu Shunyi ran away.
At this moment, everyone else was so scared their faces turned pale.
Why?
Because Liu Shunyi’s earlier move was just too terrifying.
“That was the Blood Demon Scripture, the ultimate skill of the Heavenly God Sect!”
Someone finally spoke up.
Everyone’s expressions changed for the worse.
“With such methods, how can the Heavenly God Sect still exist in the world?”
Some were furious.
But then another explained, “Just with that Yi Dai Mi Taro, a single person could wipe us out! So why does the Heavenly God Sect still stand?”
The crowd fell silent.
But in that silence, they turned their gazes toward Zhao Gou.
If it weren’t for Zhao Gou today, they would probably have all perished.
At this moment, they once again bowed to Zhao Gou, their eyes filled with respect.
But it was different from before.
Now, there was no fear in the respect in their eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Gou felt his eyes redden.
At that moment, he just wanted to thank Liu Shunyi.
……
The commotion passed.
Liu Shunyi didn’t go around causing trouble again.
Because no matter how big Qinzhou was, it was still just those people.
Always clinging to this crowd to fleece them.
Over time, problems were bound to arise.
However, recently Liu Shunyi had been experimenting by combining his Blood Demon Scripture with the black gourd.
The list that Lin Wudao had given him was almost completely taken care of by Liu Shunyi.
Of course, Liu Shunyi discovered one issue:
This black gourd could automatically extract the spiritual energy from blood, condensing it into Blood Pills.
And the quality of those Blood Pills was remarkably pure.
Another point was that after the gourd absorbed others’ souls, it became even heavier.
It was indeed a bit heavier, but since this gourd was Liu Shunyi’s life treasure, he felt no discomfort using it.
The only downside was that the black mist was too thick.
Not only was it dense, but it also carried a killing aura that affected one’s mental state.
“If I use my real identity, I mustn’t expose this gourd!”
Liu Shunyi thought to himself.
Then he looked at the few Blood Pills in the gourd, contemplated for a moment, and decided not to act just yet.
However, the current situation was a bit tough for Liu Shunyi.
He felt invincible among Golden Cores.
Although he had killed quite a few Golden Core cultivators in the past few days, it didn’t significantly help his own floating cultivation.
Thinking of this, Liu Shunyi went to find Lin Wudao again.
When Lin Wudao saw Liu Shunyi, he was momentarily stunned.
“Did you… finish them all?”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“But this time, don’t give me a list of Golden Core cultivators. Get me a few names of Nascent Soul Initial Stage people. I want to see how far I am from the Nascent Souls!”
Lin Wudao nodded.
But after thinking for a moment, he only handed over one name.
The name was Xu Chunli!
“This is a notorious female demoness who enjoys devouring others’ brains. Her divine ability also involves using demonic fire to toy with people’s minds.”
“You want to… hmm, never mind!”
Lin Wudao wanted to caution Liu Shunyi, but halfway through, he thought it unnecessary.
Because if Liu Shunyi was anything like he assumed, even if he weren’t a match for the Nascent Soul cultivators, he probably wouldn’t die either.
So he dropped the subject.
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
Then he turned to leave.
However, before he departed, Liu Shunyi handed all the Blood Pills in the gourd to Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao held the Blood Pills and fell silent.
At this moment, the Shadow Guard scratched his head.
“My Lord!”
Lin Wudao looked at the Shadow Guard in confusion.
The Shadow Guard asked a question.
“My Lord, didn’t you say that person is the living King of Hell?”
Lin Wudao nodded.
“What’s the problem?”
The Shadow Guard looked at the crossed-out list and then at his master.
“Don’t you think you look like a judge?”
Lin Wudao: “???”
“My Lord, how about we change the name of the Shadow Pavilion to the Hall of Yama? What do you think?”
Lin Wudao’s expression was quite colorful.
After thinking it over, he found it somewhat reasonable.
“Then go change the name. By the way, seriously tell the subordinates to always remember who the two living Kings of Hell in our Hall are.”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
But when he thought about it, he was even more confused.
“My Lord, two living Kings of Hell?”
Lin Wudao nodded.
“Zhao Gou is one too.”
“Liu, the great head is in control of life and death, while Zhao Gou deals with life and death with a single thought!”
The Shadow Guard took a deep breath.
He felt his Lord had a point.
Then he hurried to get it done.
……
As the time for the secret realm to open drew near, the practitioners in Qinzhou kept increasing.
Of course, Zhao Gou wasn’t concerned about any of this.
Recently, he had returned to being a doctor.
Every day, he carried his little bag, walking among the people to heal others.
Even though his current skills were exceptional, he still cherished that initial feeling.
What’s this called?
Staying true to one’s roots.
But today, Zhao Gou was called to treat an extremely odd patient.
He didn’t think much of it.
But just as Zhao Gou was about to enter the patient’s location, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of people wearing ghost face masks.

Zhao Gou was a bit bewildered.
But before he could wrap his head around it, a group of people turned their backs to him, weapons pointed outward.
“Hmm? Are you protecting me?”
Zhao Gou was a little lost.
At that moment, one person spoke to Zhao Gou.
“My Lord Yama, the person you were invited to treat has actually been watching you for quite some time. This time, the invitation was a trap, aiming to take your life.”
Zhao Gou: “???”
“Wait, you guys hang on for a sec. You just called me what?”
The masked person looked Zhao Gou up and down.
Then pulled out a carved wooden figure.
After comparing it, he nodded.
“You are indeed our Hall of Yama’s Lord Yama, I didn’t misidentify you.”
Zhao Gou was a bit baffled.
“When did I… Watch out!”
Before Zhao Gou finished speaking, a line of fishing line zipped through the air.
The ghost face mask wearers hadn’t even reacted before they were all bound by the fishing line.
At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat walked out from the shadows with a fishing rod.
“People from the Shadow Pavilion, you may withdraw. This matter has nothing to do with you.”
The ghostly masked folks wanted to speak, but the fishing line was directly constricting their necks, making it impossible for them to voice anything.
However, among all this, the calmest person was Zhao Gou.
What kind of storms hadn’t he seen before?
Even now, he didn’t understand how he became the King of Hell.
Of course, that wasn’t the point.
The key was that Zhao Gou looked at the Golden Core Full Circle fisherman in front of him, feeling a tad speechless.
“So, do you really want to kill me?”
Zhao Gou asked.
The fisherman narrowed his eyes.
“Yes!”
Zhao Gou sighed.
“You know who I am, and you still dare to kill me?”
The fisherman chuckled.
“I’ve already investigated; the people you killed before had nothing to do with you. You’re just a name-gathering fraud. Others fear you; I… I~”
As the fisherman spoke, his aura suddenly grew faint.
And before he knew it, he had dropped to his knees in front of Zhao Gou!
