Chapter 21 - Diyu Gu King

The sudden attacks done by numerous cultivators, Daoist priests and even monks caused the situation among the cultivators turn chaotic. This also destroyed the protective enchantment that entrap tens of thousands of ghost because their Daoist priest that involve in the protective enchantment anchor been attacked or become the attacker, fortunately the ghosts still in their trance state. The cultivators that is not in the state that affecting their fellow companions, friends, clan brother or sister try their best to restrain and stop them from further attacking and killing others.

"Shibo, this is really bad. The protective enchantment already fallen," Zhang Yichen speak to the old man standing by his side. "Let's first catch all these affected cultivators then we would rise the enchantment once again," the old man reply and though he try to act calm, Zhang Yichen can see how his martial uncle is worried about what might happened next. This day has been one bad occurrence to another.

Now, their own cultivators is killing one another and still they don't even get to know what is exactly happening. The old man look up at the hospital building. He is afraid they might be problems already greet the group of master cultivators that went into the hospital.

In the hospital wardroom where everything take place, the group of old master cannot stop Bai Ying from blowing his Xun and after a few seconds he already finished playing the tune which harmonised with his puppet technique. The reason why he is the Ghost King right-hand man is because of his mastery in placing puppet charm in any cultivators without they realised it and let it dormant. But as soon as he blow this xun, they will do the exact command he place on his puppet charm.

"Bai Ying what have you done," You Qianzhi asked the wicked puppet master severely. Others also look at him with wariness. Somehow they can feel something already happened, and it is not a good thing.

"Ha ha ha, there is nothing so satisfying but seeing you, upright cultivator, killing one another," Bai Ying does not deign to answer the celestial master question. His eyes now focused on what Mu Ying is now doing and his eyes turn intense.

"Stupid shaman, if that Gu King is just the usual Gu King, you might can retract it out following your ritual, but that is the Gu King I specifically nurtured for the Ghost King," he remarks with an evil smirks. "The Gu derive from the flesh and blood of 999 infants taken fresh from their mother's womb, and nurtured with tens of thousands of humans' flesh, blood, and desolation, strengthen with the souls of cultivators died in despair. That is Diyu Gu King."

Bai Ying sure enjoying the entire process of bred and nurturing the Gu King, but it caused revulsion and horror to the cultivators that listened to it. Mu Ying could not help but tremble when hearing it. There is dismay and helplessness etch on his face. No wonder. He should have guess for someone as deprave as Bai Ying, he would not nurturing just the usual kind of Gu King, he would choose the evilest kind of Gu King with the foulest method of breeding and nurturing, the Diyu Gu King. Even his master never teach him such a taboo. It is a taboo within taboo itself.

They, the wunuo shaman would never imagine there would be someone so deprave and unhuman to ever actually rear Diyu Gu King. The method of rearing Diyu Gu King keep secret and never share outside the wunuo tribes due to how severe is it requirements. It was invented by a very powerful wunuo shaman in ancient time that used to destroy his enemy that killed his family. Drive by vengeance and hatred, he killed thousands of innocents just to breed the Gu King. The shaman did not success in his endeavour, but it seems much longer you live in this world, you can actually witness someone that manage to breed Diyu Gu King. But it is not an achievement to be proud of, it is a manifestation of how degrade, corrupt, debauch and unhuman Bai Ying is.

He is not human. He is malevolent evil himself.

Yang Guang turn toward Mu Ying when he listened to this and seen the master shaman reaction, he realised, whatever that old, wicked man is stating is true. Mu Ying look at Cheng Jiayi that suddenly stop whimpering and suddenly his eyes open wide. However, there are no trace of light in those eyes; it is vacant and eerie emptiness.

"Cheng Jiayi," Mu Ying call the name of the teenager but he not reacting to it at all. Yang Guang come closer to the bed and call "Cheng Jiayi !" He even shake the teen body to wake him up from this condition. But deep down Yang Guang understand, this is the effect of the Diyu Gu King. It have already hatched. 

Fushe also calling the teenager name and rambling all sorts of things to him but with mo effect. Even with all the knowledge he has, Fushe cannot do anything to help.

"Ha ha ha," Bai Ying laugh with glee, especially looking at his ancient luopan that show the 4 inauspicious star is almost in aligned. "Just a few more minutes and it would be the time."

Bai Ying does not want to tangle with all these old men any longer. He look at Rui Gang that still struggle with his control and he smirks. With a swift whistle, that penetrating Rui Gang mind, he stop trembling altogether and turn his face to his master.

"You, Rui Gang would be the only witness of upright cultivators to watch the significant moment of our holy Ghost King resurrection. I want you to watch it by your own eyes sober, how your own great grandson be the vessel of our ghost king," Bai Ying articulate this to Rui Gang leisurely and with a smile that scream evil.

"Then, I will let the Ghost King that resurrect inside your great grandson body to devour your flesh and blood. It will be the greatest amenity the Rui Clan perform for our Ghost King cause."

Hearing this words, everyone share the same feeling, rage, and empathy. But before they can do anything, Bai Ying already hold his Xun up again and blow it, but this time with a different tune. Right after hearing the tune, Cheng Jiayi whose eyes only staring in vacant rise from his lying position and then move his feet down. His movement is so mechanical, and it is clear he is not in control of his own body.

"Cheng Jiayi, stop it," Yang Guang swiftly hold the teenager and try to stop him from further moving. However, the teen does not hear or understand anything anymore. His body is now longer under his control. He stand up and start walking while Yang Guang and Mu Ying now both try to hold the teenager. With the two of them hold him, his movement is halted but he struggles to release his self.

"Cheng Jiayi, you must fight it. You can do it, Cheng Jiayi," Yang Guang speaks to the delicate teenager in his arm. Cheng Jiayi does not responds however, if he is sober, he definitely would jump to the sky out of sheer excitement with Yang Guang treatment to him. Remember this is the super dramatic Cheng Jiayi.

"Nuisance," when Bai Ying see this he only smirks and without preamble release an attack that full of malice and demonic energy specifically toward Yang Guang.

"Guang Er," Yang Hong and Yang Yulin both call his name and other also try to intercept the attack, but it is swift and faster. Realising the situation, Mu Ying could do nothing but pull Yang Guang away from the attack and those release Cheng Jiayi from their hold. The tall teenager fall to the hospital ground together with the wunuo shaman and they both have to protect themselves as the attack fall to the hospital bed and destroying it.

"Yang Guang, Master Mu," Yang Hong and Yang Yulin both move toward the two, while the others look at them and to the teenager that move in trance. They want to prevent Cheng Jiayi but this time Rui Gang make his move towards the master cultivators.

Cheng Jiayi move unhindered this time toward Bai Ying. The old man smile with satisfaction with the vessel that he have choose for his Ghost King.

"Now we shall go."
