I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 135: My position as Ghost King is temporarily vacant, so why don’t you return to your position as soon as possible!
"Crack!"

Amidst Lu Wujiu's playful laughter, a biting cold air descended from the sky, and white ice crystals quickly spread across the wet pleasure boat until they reached the surface of the lotus pond.

Looking down from the air, it looks like a blooming snow lotus.

The girl standing in the air stared at Lu Wujiu coldly:
"You killed my disciples, destroyed my pleasure boat, and ruined my business. What is your intention?"

Lu Wujiu's smile remained unchanged, but it was a little less crazy. He chuckled and said:

"My dear little beauty, I don't like what you said. I came to your house to take care of your business, but you guys were so polite at first but then turned me down with a look of disgust on your face. You even wanted to kill me afterwards. Is this how I treat my guests?"

The girl had a blank expression:

"Although my Lotus Boat is open for business, I don't do any business. Fellow Daoist, you are a great Buddha. My temple is small and I cannot afford to entertain you!"

Lu Wujiu stared at the newcomer for a long while before saying, "If that's the case, then I'll leave!"

"Wait!" The girl stared at Lu Wujiu and said, "Please release the Black Dragon King."

"Black Dragon King?"

Lu Wujiu frowned. That black-scaled dragon was actually the overlord of the Yunsong Mountains - the Black Dragon King?

"Is that what you mean?"

Lu Wujiu waved his hand, and the huge body of the Black Dragon King appeared out of thin air, pressing the pleasure boat down by three inches of water.

The girl looked at the Black Dragon King, whose body was in disarray and whose eyes were wide open with a look of unwillingness even in death. Shock suddenly flashed in her eyes: "You, you actually killed the Black Dragon King?"

Lu Wujiu spread his hands: "What else? This beast wants to kill me, can't I kill it?!"

The girl's breathing became rapid, and the initial coldness that kept people away from her face was gone.

Instead, I felt a strong sense of fear!
The figure suddenly retreated, but did not leave. Instead, he looked at Lu Wujiu from afar, took out a statue, and chanted a spell in a fast voice.

In an instant, the statue shone brightly and transformed into a handsome person who looked like both a man and a woman, and whose gender was difficult to distinguish.

With just one glance, Lu Wujiu's magic power became more and more turbulent... He smelled the power of the Four Armors.

This handsome man stood suspended in the air, listening to the girl's whispers. After a while, he walked over, not even glancing at the Black Dragon King who was pressing on the pleasure boat. He landed in front of Lu Wujiu with a relaxed look on his face, and bowed in greeting:

"I am Hua Chaoge, may I know your name?"

"So you're the headmaster of the Fangzhong Sect. How disrespectful!" Lu Wujiu's arrogance was completely suppressed, but a hint of pride still lingered between his brows. "My Taoist name is Dugu Cheng."

"Walking alone on the lonely peak, knocking the sword against the tower city, what a great name!"

Hua Chaoge smiled as he was praised, "With such a good reputation and having reached the second-class Great Perfection, it's impossible for him to be unknown in the martial arts world, right?"

Lu Wujiu smiled: "It's just a small place, so naturally you don't know my Dharma name."

Hua Chaoge's pupils shrank when he heard this: "Fellow Daoist, are you from...Middle Earth?"

Lu Wujiu looked Hua Chaoge up and down: "You have quite a good eye!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Hua Chaoge's face was filled with joy as he invited her, "It's a joy to have friends coming from afar! Meeting is fate. How can we let down such a beautiful and beautiful occasion? Please come in, fellow Daoist!"

Lu Wujiu's smile faded slightly, and he stared at Hua Chaoge quietly and said, "Are you trying to buy time and wait for the real body to appear, so that you can kill it with one strike?"

Hua Chaoge smiled, "Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? Visitors from the Central Plains are extremely rare. I am so happy to be here, how could I do something like burning a zither and cooking a crane?"

Lu Wujiu smiled: "Okay, please!"

Now it was Hua Chaoge's turn to show some surprise. She looked at Lu Wujiu with some fear and curiosity. She simply led the way without making a sound.

His subordinates were quick to act and quickly cleared out a luxurious pleasure boat, waiting for the two to sit down.

At this time, the night was deep and a thin mist was rising on the lake, which dotted the brightly lit pleasure boats in the lake like ghost lights in the dark night. Suddenly, a pleasure boat cut through the mist and broke into the center of the lake.

At the highest point of the pleasure boat, two figures sat facing each other, the air filled with the fragrance of tea, but no one was enjoying it.

During the greetings, Hua Chaoge asked:

"Although I was born in the land of the Nine Paths, I have long admired the Middle Earth. I heard that this journey requires crossing thousands of miles of wilderness. I wonder how you are getting here?"

Lu Wujiu said meaningfully, "To ordinary people, a distance of ten thousand miles is indeed as far as a natural chasm, but to cultivators like us, it is just a little trouble."

Hua Chaoge nodded in agreement: "That makes sense!"

Lu Wujiu sneered: "That's a bunch of nonsense. If we really went through so much trouble, the Nine Dao Land would have long been reduced to the domain of those Haipai sects. Where would the Nine Great Mysterious Sects still be?!"

Hua Chaoge's expression froze.

Lu Wujiu undid his clothes carelessly, revealing a large patch of herpes pustules on his chest:

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to test me. If I hadn't been pursued by my enemies, why would I have fled into the Great Abyss? If I hadn't entered the Great Abyss and returned to the abyss, how could I have fallen into this wasteland of the Dharma Ending Age? However, this is also good. There is no cause and effect, and I am free and at ease."

"Fellow Daoist is a man of temperament!"

Hua Chaoge laughed heartily and asked nonchalantly, "I wonder what you plan to do next?"

Lu Wujiu said, "Of course I'll enjoy myself first. I almost suffocated to death in the Middle Earth. As for the future, I'll wait until my cultivation reaches the fourth level, oh no, the fifth level."

Hua Chaoge said, "Since that's the case, my sect is eager to recruit talented people. Since you have nothing else to do, why not join my sect? I'll provide you with plenty of money."

Lu Wujiu's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the girl standing behind Hua Chaoge and said, "Could this girl belong to me?"

The girl looked at the herpes pustules on Lu Wujiu's chest, her face changed slightly, and she looked at Hua Chaoge in horror.

Hua Chaoge said with a smile:
"If you join my sect, not to mention this fairy, even if I become your guest, there will be a place for you."

Lu Wujiu's expression changed, and he said with disgust:

"I don't like men, don't try to hit on me!"

Hua Chaoge changed the subject and asked with a slight smile:
"So, fellow Daoist, you agree?"

Lu Wujiu glanced at the girl behind Hua Chaoge unwillingly, revealing a hint of teasing:
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I have been in the Nine Daos for several years now, and have traveled all over the world. I suddenly visited the Lotus Pond Boat today because I wanted to join the Fangzhong Sect."

Hua Chaoge raised an eyebrow, looking surprised: "Excellent, wonderful! This way, everyone will be happy."

"Hehe, I'm used to being free. If you want to put a shackle on me, you have to promise me one thing."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The Taoist Master wants to ascend the third step. The climbing ceremony will cause quite a lot of noise. If the Fangzhong Sect can help the Taoist Master ascend the steps, then we will be at your disposal from now on."

"Oh, what is the ritual for ascending the stairs, fellow Taoist?"

Lu Wujiu glanced at the girl behind Hua Chaoge.

"We are all family, so feel free to speak."

"When the news of the poison that Dao Master is infected with spreads throughout the world, that will be the time when Dao Master will ascend to the top three!"

After these words were spoken, Hua Chaoge's expression remained normal, but the girl behind him was already frightened. She looked at the disgusting herpes on Lu Wujiu's chest, and her stomach was churning.

"Fellow Daoist, you have really given me a difficult problem!"

"There is no such thing as a free ride in this world! I have cultivated to the second level of perfection, and I don't know how much suffering I have endured. Daoyou, just a word of surrender, wants me to do things for you, and you are even reluctant to give up a beautiful girl. Daoyou is beautiful, and you have beautiful thoughts."

The girl flew into a rage after hearing these sarcastic remarks, and she angrily shouted:
"presumptuous!"

"Adults speak, children, don't interrupt!"

"you……"

Hua Chaoge raised her hand, suppressed the girl's anger, looked at Lu Wujiu with a gloomy gaze, and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, if you help me kill three people, I will help you climb the stairs."

"Who?" "Lu Wujiu, the guest official of the Old Law Temple!"

"Who?"

Another high-pitched voice was heard, and Hua Chaoge was surprised: "Daoyou know him?"

"More than just knowing each other? We've even dealt with each other before!"

"Oh, you have some friendship with fellow Taoist?"

"It's not a friendship at all! How did this person offend the Fangzhong faction?"

Lu Wujiu's question made Hua Chaoge ponder. He casually said, "This boy once injured the deputy leader of our sect's Huanxi Hall. Although he was sent back, he lost his soul and spirit. He has become a fool."

"Oh, why don't you kill him secretly?"

"This person has deep connections with many famous and upright sects, so killing him would be quite troublesome. But fellow Daoist, since you are not from the Nine Paths, you are more clean and no one can find out."

"I see, this is giving me an advantage!"

Hua Chaoge said nothing. Lu Wujiu's straightforwardness made him very uncomfortable.

"Lu Wujiu is not good enough, let's find someone else."

"It's the same for anyone."

"Then give me the list. I want to choose the people myself."

Hua Chaoge narrowed his eyes. Can you give me this list?

"Fellow Daoist, please take your time to think about it. I will not accompany you any longer! If there is any result, the pleasure boat will hang a black light. I will know it myself."

Seeing Hua Chaoge's hesitation, Lu Wujiu did not force him. He simply stood up and took a step forward. His figure reached the lake surface, but in just a moment, he floated away, his movements as graceful as an immortal.

Seeing this, Hua Chaoge's eyes flickered: "Ruoxi, can you tell what kind of vein it is?"

The young girl Ruoxi looked at Lu Wujiu as he walked away and shook her head: "I haven't noticed it. He looks like a casual cultivator."

Casual cultivator?

Hua Chaoge, who appeared in the form of a magic weapon, had a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, his figure suddenly disappeared and turned into an ordinary sculpture. A gust of wind blew, and the sculpture turned into ashes and dispersed into powder, which was carried away by the wind.

Ruoxi suddenly felt something, took a deep breath, took a step forward, walked on the waves, and returned to the pleasure boat docked on the shore.

At this time, the pleasure boat was already shrouded in thick fog, isolating it from prying eyes from the outside world.

In the fog, the Black Dragon King's corpse lay in the middle, and beside him stood Hua Chaoge himself.

At this moment, he made a soul-calling spell with his hands, and a cold wind suddenly blew up around him. In the wind and clouds, the pleasure boat rustled, but in the end, not a single soul was summoned.

"Your hands and feet are clean!"

Hua Chaoge saw this and was not surprised. He walked around the Black Dragon King's corpse and observed it. After a while, his brows furrowed and he murmured, "The dragon scales are flipped upside down, and the lightning patterns are revealed. The Black Dragon King must have used the Thousand Vortex Thunder Technique!"

Ruoxi's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this: "Under the Thousand Vortex Thunder Technique, he's unrivaled below the second-best tier. Is Dugu Cheng really that powerful?"

Hua Chaoge said nothing. He casually pulled out a dragon spear and thrust it into the Black Dragon King's anus. After stirring it for a while, he said, "Sword wounds, cuts, and a sinister aura. The methods are complicated. It doesn't seem like a traditional way of inheritance, but more like the style of a casual cultivator."

Speaking of independent cultivators, he was suddenly stunned, remembering Ruoxi's previous evaluation.

"Could this Dugu City be a place where some wandering cultivators are pretending to be visitors from Middle-earth?"

"It's possible! But what casual cultivator can achieve the second level of perfection?"

Hua Chaoge asked back as he drew out his dragon spear and went around to the Black Dragon King's head. He opened the dragon's mouth and looked at the festering flesh inside. Just one glance and he frowned in disgust.

But inside, I saw herpes everywhere and cauliflower growing wildly.

He frowned, made a hand gesture, and threw out a demon pupil, which gurgled down the Black Dragon King's festering throat and rolled into his body.

After a long moment, he sighed and said, "All my internal organs have turned into poisonous water, but there is only venomous poison in them. Even if this Dugucheng person is not a visitor from the Middle-earth, he is most likely a poison cultivator hiding in the human world."

Ruoxi said with disgust, "Master, are you really planning to recruit him?"

Hua Chaoge waved his hand and placed the Black Dragon King into the Xumi Ring. He said, "Are you worried that he might do something bad to you?"

Ruoxi's face was in a panic, and she said quickly: "Disciple dare not, everything is for the master's plan!"

Hua Chaoge said, "Don't worry, the madman won't live to reach the second level of perfection. He is very smart. He doesn't even dare to kill Lu Wujiu, let alone you."

Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Disciple, thank you for your support, Master!"

"A person from the outside world, no matter how loyal he is, is not as loyal as a disciple of our sect. Don't let your imagination run wild. Go investigate this Dugu City. I want all the information about him."

"Disciple will obey the Master's command!"

Ruoxi bowed and left, leaving Hua Chaoge alone to stroll to the edge of the pleasure boat, looking at the calm lake with a dim gaze.

……

……

After leaving the Lotus Pond Boat, Lu Wujiu quickly fled thousands of miles away. After making sure that no one was following him, he hid in the human skin book.

At this time, the judge of the Emperor's Palace also handed over the trial results. Lu Wujiu glanced at it and threw it on the table.

The police brought the Black Dragon King in for questioning.

Not long after, several ghost officials brought the remaining soul of the Black Dragon King.

At this time, the soul of the Black Dragon King still looked like a monster, but it was barely breathing, and the back half of its body had turned into clouds, and its size had shrunk several times.

It looked at Lu Wujiu who was sitting high up in the seat, his face ashen, and it was obvious that he had already experienced the interrogation methods of the underworld.

"I heard that the Black Dragon King is the overlord of the Yunsong Mountains, with countless monsters under his command. I never thought that I would curl up under the lotus pond like a cement loach. The charm of the Hualiu Demon Dao is indeed well-deserved."

The Black Dragon King said nothing. He wanted to commit suicide but didn't have the courage. He just hoped that the Fangzhong School could rescue him as soon as possible.

"Tell me about the Goddess of Childbirth!"

The Black Dragon King remained lifeless and silent.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still investigate it. It'll just take some time. If you don't want to suffer the punishment, then answer honestly."

The Black Dragon King remained silent.

Lu Wujiu frowned and was about to throw the fellow into the dungeon, using his Neon Dress charm to pry open his mouth, but the Black Dragon King suddenly spoke: "I have fallen into this state, and my future is in grave danger. The more I talk, the sooner I will die... Unless you, fellow Daoist, grant me a chance to live, otherwise... I would rather die than surrender!"

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you, no matter what the circumstances, I will never kill you!"

"really?"

The Black Dragon King didn't expect Lu Wujiu to agree so readily, and instead looked unconvinced.

Lu Wujiu angrily scolded, "Stop fussing. You've already died and your soul is gone. Is it worth it for me to cheat you?"

This barrage of scolding actually made the Black Dragon King feel relieved. After some hesitation, he revealed the identity and background of the Goddess of Childbirth in detail.

Lu Wujiu became more and more surprised after hearing this. He asked a few more questions from time to time, and then remained silent for a long time.

He then asked a few more questions, and after making sure that he could no longer squeeze out any more information, he threw out a county deed.

The county deed melted into the Black Dragon King's body like water, startling it so much that it twisted its body wildly and screamed:
"What are you going to do? You said you would never kill me!"

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "Of course I won't kill you, but my position as Ghost King is temporarily vacant. Why don't you return to your position as soon as possible!"
