Chapter 1777
Let's Chat 3
Upon receiving the message from his wife, Lord Wu rushed to the temple that very evening.
After that, Lord Wu took over the matter.
The next day, Lord Wu personally came to thank Liu Tong and Liu San and presented them with a gift.
After accepting the gift, Liu Dong prepared to leave the temple.
It was just a good deed he did on a whim, and he didn't think much of it.
But just as they were about to set off, Liu Dong caught sight of someone.
That being had a green face and a red beard, and a very ferocious appearance. He was dressed in official robes, but not in the rank of a court official.
The being frowned as it looked at Miss Wu, muttering, "This shouldn't be! I made arrangements yesterday, Miss Wu should have been killed by the bandits, right? How is she still alive? No, she must die, so I can exchange her head for Brother Zhu's wife."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong instantly realized who this guy was!
Isn't this Judge Lu, the judge of the underworld who abuses his power and bends the law?
Hearing that he was plotting to take Miss Wu's head and wanted to try again after failing the first time, she snorted coldly and grabbed Lu Pan in Liu Dong's hand.
Lu Pan shrank to a size not much larger than a red date, bouncing in Liu Qiu's palm, but no matter what he did, he couldn't escape from Liu Qiu's palm.
Just like Sun Wukong couldn't escape the Buddha's palm.
Judge Lu attempted to use magic to return to the underworld, but was horrified to find that he could no longer contact it.
"Who are you? Release me now! Otherwise, I will cast your soul into the eighteenth level of hell!"
Liu Dong snorted coldly. He always believed that "villains die from talking too much" and despised those guys who exposed their schemes before the reborn woman died. He squeezed hard and crushed Lu Pan.
His soul was scattered, and Lu Pan ceased to exist in this world.
Even if the underworld searches for Judge Lu with all its might, it will not be able to find him, much less discover that it was Liu Dong who destroyed Judge Lu.
"Young master? What's wrong?"
Qingyang, being observant and perceptive, noticed Liu Tong's momentary unusual behavior and asked her with concern.
Liu Tong: "It's nothing, just dealing with some trash."
Qingyang: "??"
Liu Dong boarded the carriage, and the group headed into the city.
Liu Tong: "Qingyang, after you enter the city, go and inquire whether there is a scholar named Zhu Erdan in the city."
"Yes," Qingyang replied.
They settled into an inn, and Qingyang went out.
Half an hour later, Qingyang returned and told Liu Qiu the news he had found out.
There is indeed a man in this city named Zhu Erdan. He used to be a dull scholar, but recently he suddenly had a breakthrough and actually won first place in the provincial examination, becoming the top scholar.
He had planned to go to the capital to take the imperial examination, but he had not yet set off, supposedly waiting for a friend.
In addition, Qingyang also learned that Zhu Erdan's wife was sick and had been staying at home all day.
Liu Tong thought to himself: This is not because he is sick, but because Zhu Erdan is waiting for Lu Pan to give his wife a head transplant and does not want too many people to see his former face.
Liu Tong: "Well done, go and rest."
Qingyang left the room and returned to the three-person room with Qingyun and Liu San.
Liu Tong wasn't a troublemaker, so the three of them had plenty of time to themselves. Right now, Qingyun and Liu San were both sitting on their beds, cultivating with their eyes closed.
Qingyang quickly sat down on his bed and began to cultivate.
He desires immense power.
Liu Dong left the inn and wandered around the city before arriving at the wall of Zhu Erdan's house.
When Liu Tong's consciousness entered the Zhu family's residence, she saw Zhu Erdan and his wife. Zhu Erdan's wife had an ordinary appearance, but a very gentle temperament. She was obedient to her husband and took good care of him.
When Zhu Erdan looked at his wife, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Liu Tong shook his head and focused his consciousness on Zhu Erdan's left chest.
The laws of this world are too strange. Although a person who has had a heart transplant can live, it is too abnormal for someone to become smarter and even change their temperament after having a heart transplant.
After all, it's the brain that's smart, not the heart.
Then, Liu Dong discovered that there were two souls inside Zhu Erdan's body.
His heart was filled with dark energy, which condensed into a prison, imprisoning a soul within that prison.
No wonder Zhu Erdan became smarter and his temperament changed; it turns out he had a different soul.
Does Judge Lu know this?
As ghosts and spirits of the underworld, they are experts on matters of ghosts. How could they not know about souls being replaced?
Could it be that he orchestrated this on purpose?
He already knew the soul that possessed Zhu Erdan's body?
Lu Pan's visit to drink with Zhu Erdan and befriend him was a conspiracy from the very beginning.
I should have known better than to have killed Zhu Erdan all at once.
Fortunately, there was still someone in the know.
With a flick of his wrists, Liu Dong brought two souls to his palms.
The soul in the left palm was shrouded in black mist, while the soul in the right palm was withered and showed signs of dissipating.
Liu Dong gave a light snort, and then a wisp of soul power flew out from the soul in her left hand and into the soul in her right hand.
The soul in his right hand had become much more solid.
The spirit in the left hand cried out, "Who are you? How dare you steal my soul power?"
Liu Tong scoffed, "Yours? That's clearly Zhu Erdan's soul power. Not only did you steal his body, but you also tried to devour Zhu Erdan's soul. In the underworld, shouldn't you be a vengeful ghost destined for the eighteenth level of hell? Yet you've appeared in the mortal realm; what deal did you make with Judge Lu?"
The spirit, its identity exposed by Liu Dong, remained arrogant: "Now that you know my relationship with Judge Lu, why don't you release me right away? Otherwise, Judge Lu will make you regret it. I want him to throw you into a cauldron of boiling oil and fry you for a hundred years."
Liu Tong laughed: "Judge Lu? You won't have the chance to see him."
The spirit asked, "What do you mean?"
Liu Tong: "Because his soul has already been scattered."
"Impossible!" the spirit screamed.
Liu Dong ignored him and directly began searching the soul.
This soul was indeed a wicked ghost who should have descended to the eighteenth level of hell, but Judge Lu secretly hid the person away.
It turns out that this soul was a descendant of Judge Lu when he was alive. Judge Lu was corrupt and wanted his descendant to escape the punishment of the eighteen levels of hell. He also greedily wanted to give his descendant a good future.
Hearing that the God of Mount Hua was about to step down, Judge Lu wanted to pass on this divine position to his descendants.
However, his descendants committed too many evils, so they could not even become gods, let alone hide in the underworld.
Judge Lu then devised a plan to possess and merge the souls of virtuous people, allowing their merits to help cover up the evil deeds of the demons.
Judge Lu chose Zhu Erdan because Zhu Erdan had been a virtuous person for several lifetimes and had accumulated a great deal of merit.
If it weren't for Liu Dong's appearance, their plan would have succeeded in the end.
Unfortunately, they were unlucky; Liu Dong appeared in this world and ruined their plans.
The soul vanished on the spot, and Liu Tong shook his left hand in disgust.
His hands were dirty.
With a flick of his right hand, Liu Tong sent Zhu Erdan's soul back into his body. (End of Chapter)
