Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 376 - 142: Total Purge, Wood Demon Taming Skill

Chapter 376: Chapter 142: Total Purge, Wood Demon Taming Skill

As they left this place, the oppressive force from the Hall Master completely dissipated...

Liu Luzi’s intelligence seemed to gradually recover, her slender eyes slowly narrowing with a contemplative look...

Once she left, the hall became serene.

Qing Hancheng no longer mentioned "Xiaozhao," but asked, "How is Master Gong?"

Jing Baikou replied, "Zhu Ban has stirred his ire, and he’s delving into the Array Dao above Spiritual Artifacts. Currently, these two Weapon Forgers are engaged in a battle of wits... The last time I saw Master Gong, he was in poor shape, as if driven to madness."

Qing Hancheng said, "Tomorrow, send the Dream Vine Wood-made bed to Master Gong, and remind him to get some rest..."

Then, he added, "Find Li Yuan’s child diligently, and bring her back alive if found."

"Yes!"

Jing Baikou understood well.

Qing Hancheng suddenly said, "It’s not what you think."

Jing Baikou: ???

Qing Hancheng earnestly said, "Bai Kou, although we need Master Li to harbor a deep-seated feud against the Black Lotus Sect and Xinghai, so whether his daughter is currently dead or alive, we hope she is dead.

Only if the girl named Xiaozhao truly dies, would Master Li have no other choice.

However, in our endeavors, we must have responsibility and principles.

There are things to do, and things not to be done.

If the girl named Xiaozhao is still alive, we must bring her back, even if it means letting some Xinghai escape; it doesn’t matter."

Jing Baikou: ???

Just now, the Hall Master clearly didn’t mean that, so which is true and which is false?

A bizarre sense of eerie dread engulfed his mind.

It reminded him of the Hall Master’s previous contradictions, the inexplicable framing of Master Zhu, and the inexplicable punishment of his own kin.

Though his own offspring was useless, having his head chopped off by his own father and placed in a box, sent around with a smiling face, was still cruel.

And every time, the Hall Master appeared so sincere.

So sincere that it seemed impossible he could be lying.

Yet ironically, his words were inconsistent with his deeds.

This man stood high above, righteous, his long sleeves fluttering, white plum blossoms showing an elegant aloofness as if ready to soar into the clouds like an Immortal...

Jing Baikou instinctively looked slightly up, seeing the bright moonlight just pouring from the Suspended Building’s stained-glass skylight, illuminating the man. Half of his face was bright and serene, the other half seemed distorted and manic due to the lighting...

Jing Baikou bowed his head, a fleeting look of obscured fear flickered in his eyes, then he respectfully replied, "Yes!"

...

...

The next day.

Night falls...

Carts carried by Green Wood emerged from behind the Triple Gate, each carried by two strong men, with six people protecting them.

The curtains on the carts hung down, and a faint flute sound came from within.

With the sound of the flute, a "buzzing" crimson insect mist swept across the sky.

The insect mist accompanied the carts, like vast stretches of red clouds, quickly moving towards the outskirts of the city.

On the gray-black city walls, Cui Wuji, dressed in white, stood beside Li Yuan, overlooking those carts and said, "These are Insect Captains, able to control insects with melodies, and these insects are particularly sensitive to Yin Qi. Those Xinghai can’t escape..."

"Insect Captians? Since our Divine Wood Hall has these Insect Captains, why not send them out earlier?" Li Yuan asked curiously, "If we sent them out earlier, those Xinghai wouldn’t be so rampant, would they?"

Cui Wuji replied, "Master Li, which major force doesn’t have a few trump cards? If you reveal your trump cards too often, then no matter how many you have, they won’t suffice."

Li Yuan asked, "Is it because the Insect Captains themselves are too weak? Concerned about excessive losses?"

Cui Wuji nodded, then shook his head, ultimately unsure what to say, he just focused on the sky full of red mist, saying, "Perhaps that’s not the key, it’s related to those insects.

Master Li, you’re a genius Weapon Forger and a genius Demon Tamer.

Maybe in a few days, you’ll be able to engage with these insects, and then I’ll need to seek your advice."

Li Yuan asked no further, clearly... Cui Wuji also had little understanding of these insects or the position referred to as "Insect Captain."

The carts quickly moved away, and Li Yuan saw vague black shadows floating in the high sky...

Li Yuan sighed softly.

Cui Wuji said, "Xiaozhao will be fine." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Li Yuan nodded.

The two followed the carts.

The sky was covered in red clouds, floating, soon drifting down to the First Gate.

And the First Gate was also the end of most of the Xinghai’s infiltration.

Previously, although Divine Wood Hall Master Qing Hancheng had entered Ghost Street and killed hundreds of Xinghai, that was a purge of the entire Mianzhou Path Xinghai, and Divine Wood Hall still harbored many Xinghai.

Now, Liu Luzi used some unknown means to lure all these Xinghai out, aiming to annihilate them in one fell swoop...

Among the Xinghai, Sixth Grades were rare, the vast majority were Seventh and Eighth Grades.

And such existences, compared to Sixth and Fifth Grades in terms of perception, were akin to blind, deaf people.

Sixth and Fifth Grades could see their movements from miles, even tens of miles away, while they couldn’t perceive anything.

Moreover, for the Xinghai to enter Ghost Street, time was required. At the fastest, it also took two sticks of incense time, so... when the "red cloud" floated above the First Gate in the sky, it suddenly paused and then dispersed amidst the lingering flute sound, as if attracted by some special aura...

The silent streets began to echo with screams.

With every scream, a Divine Wood Hall Sixth Grade would lead people to investigate.

The Fifth Grades stood in mid-air, controlling the overall situation.

The Xinghai had those who licked candy, those who bagged up goods, and those who held mirrors, employing various methods, yet all were futile...

However, the expected one-sided massacre did not occur as predicted.
