Chapter 80 Tonglin County Underworld
Lu Zheng was already familiar with ghosts, and the one standing not far from him was clearly another ghost.
"Which ghost are you?" Lu Zheng squinted his eyes, "Why didn’t you make a move just now?"
The newcomer was clad in brown armor, and compared to the previous ghost commander, his form was even more solid. His face, although pale, still carried a hint of life.
"Tonglin County Underworld City Patrol Envoy, Duan Zhong, at your service, Daoist!"
Oh? Underworld?
Lu Zheng’s heart stirred; he finally encountered an official ghost god.
"Lu Zheng, Lay Practitioner of the White Cloud Temple, at your service, General Duan." Lu Zheng returned the courtesy with a grin.
"No, no, Daoist, you’re too kind. I’m just a patrol envoy, certainly unworthy of being called a general. Just call me Inspector," Duan Zhong waved his hand repeatedly, but his face showed a satisfied smile, obviously pleased.
"I was just on patrol nearby, happened to notice a sinister ghost Qi outside the city, accompanied by flashes of Daoist Profound Light, so I rushed over to see if I could be of help. I never expected you, Daoist, to excel in both Daoist and Martial paths, rendering the Night Wanderer Camp Commander helpless. I’m truly impressed!"
"Inspector Duan overpraises me; I just have some means of self-protection, that’s all."
Lu Zheng attentively sensed the surroundings, finally realizing that Duan Zhong indeed carried a hint of life, which seemed to have some unique use, likely due to the Incense and Candle Dao.
