Chapter 62: Demon Vanquished, Mystery Deepens
Li Yanchu raised his golden mace and struck down the false City God on the spot. “Enough with the nonsense!”
The chilling qi that had filled the City God Temple was completely dispelled, returning the place to normal.
Then, Li Yanchu’s primordial spirit swiftly returned to his Daoist temple. When his spirit reentered his body, he opened his eyes. Even after the battle, he was still full of vigor and energy.
This had been his first true primordial spirit battle. He hadn’t expected that, with just the aid of the Spirit Officer Summoning Talisman, he’d be able to completely dominate the fight.
The talisman in his possession had dimmed by a third, mirroring what had happened with the Five-Lightning Talisman previously. His total merit points had now reached 3,810.
Reflecting on the events of the night, Li Yanchu frowned slightly. He had originally assumed the culprit would be some eccentric practitioner skilled in ghost-rearing, or perhaps a demonic monk or sorcerer.
But to his surprise, the enemy had appeared in the guise of Wei City’s City God, and the evil spirits under his command had mimicked judges and ghost officials of the Underworld.
Could he actually be the real City God of this region? The thought suddenly flashed through Li Yanchu’s mind.
But he quickly shook his head, dismissing it.
Tonight, he had gone to the City God Temple and answered many of his earlier suspicions. Yet now, a new question had emerged. Was what that false City God said about the origin of the blood money true?
“He tried to use me to destroy Lady Qingyi’ statue and tear down her temple... they’re clearly not on the same side. That makes most of what he said highly questionable.”
