Taoist priests in the supernatural world

Chapter 21 The Birth of the Ghost King, The Final Battle

"Congratulations on the successful completion of this method. Humans finally have a way to deal with vengeful ghosts."

Zhi Gang was the first to come up and offer his congratulations, his joy impossible to hide.

He himself thought it was outrageous.

A young man who was casually recruited in Kowloon Walled City has now actually come to this point and become the key to turning the tide.

Huang Bai smiled, but his face was still a little pale.

"If the vengeful ghosts are ruthless, then we must be even more ruthless."

He said it calmly, but he knew very well that although the battle he had just fought looked impressive, it had actually taken a toll on him.

After his soul left his body, he continued to cast spells, causing the inner core in his abdomen to darken slightly.

Ultimately, the reason he can fight so fiercely is because he benefits from the world.

The ordinary vengeful ghosts here mostly only have the ability to possess and scare people; in terms of sheer skill, they are far from being very powerful.

After being possessed, it even becomes afraid of knives, guns, and bullets.

Those with a little bit of skill are just a bit more sinister and eerie, unlike some truly dangerous worlds where any vengeful ghost can jump out and take someone's life.

That's why Huang Bai can be so uninhibited.

The fact that souls are immune to physical damage is indeed a huge advantage, but it's not without its costs.

Even if a bullet passes through the body and doesn't cause fundamental damage, it will still take away a portion of the soul power.

Furthermore, the attacks of vengeful ghosts are all imbued with yin energy, which can actually injure him.

Ultimately, one shouldn't be too reckless.

……

Hong Kong, Kowloon Walled City.

Huang Bai learned to possess bodies and travel in spirit form, making it much easier for him to come and go.

Moreover, his possession method is not the same as the ghost's method of taking over a person's body, so it will not leave any future troubles and will not harm the innocent.

The house was in a remote location, and the lights were dim.

Huang Bai sat cross-legged at the table, flipping through the Naga magic manual he had brought back from Thailand.

This spell, when traced back to its origins, is actually related to Maoshan. Its full name is "All Laws Return to the Source: Transformation of the Ribbon into a Snake".

Huang Bai read the contents of the document aloud in a low voice:

"Take a mountain wind, dry it in the shade, and offer it as a sacrifice under the black altar. Step on the Kui Gang (a mythical beast), take a breath of eastern air, and recite the snake incantation seven times. It will be completed in seven days."

Once mastered, the dried snake transforms into a green ribbon, which is usually wrapped around the wrist. When needed, a breath is exhaled, and the snake transforms to kill the enemy. The longer it is nurtured, the deeper its magical power becomes, and the more snake heads it produces.

Seven days later, a blue bracelet appeared on Huang Bai's wrist.

He raised his hand and pointed gently.

"go."

With a sudden jerk, the green belt transformed into a black-scaled cobra, its body slender, its head raised, but its tail still coiled around his wrist.

The snake-like shadow darted out with astonishing speed, lunging close to the ground, carrying a chilling, fishy scent with it.

As Huang Bai watched this scene, he felt even more that magic was indeed mysterious.

The Thai monk Tongtianwang used the blood sacrifice of unborn infants to sustain this evil practice, but in Huang Bai's view, that was the most foolish method.

"Feeding it with elixirs will only enhance the effect."

He quickly summoned everyone over.

Huang Yaozu, Li Guoqiang, and Zhi Gang have all arrived.

Huang Bai glanced at the three of them and said directly, "For now, stop and don't make any rash moves. I'm preparing to cooperate with the authorities to force the Ghost King out."

Huang Yaozu was taken aback: "Cooperating with the government?"

"Thailand's style of play won't work."

"Hong Kong is backed by the mainland. A head-on confrontation with the authorities, regardless of the reason, will only escalate the situation."

Having reached this point, we must learn to leverage existing resources.

……

A mansion in the city center.

In the study, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit was flipping through recent documents from the miscellaneous affairs department.

"The head of the miscellaneous affairs department is suspected of being possessed by a vengeful ghost, and he attacked and killed his superior before fleeing to Thailand..."

The middle-aged man frowned more and more as he looked at the contents of the paper.

"Has the infiltration of vengeful spirits reached this point?"

China once cleansed itself of its past. This prevented the entire land from being secretly controlled by ghosts and monsters, unlike overseas.

But now, these things are back?

If it were just a problem in the miscellaneous affairs department, that would be one thing, but if we really dig deeper, who knows how many other culprits are lurking in the shadows.

Footsteps suddenly came from the corner of the study.

Then came the voice of a young man.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, his expression changing drastically.

"Who?"

Huang Bai slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Huang Bai." He looked at the other person. "You should have heard of my name."

"Huang Bai?" Mr. Lin's pupils contracted. "You're that... vengeful ghost Huang Bai?"

He almost instinctively took half a step back.

Huang Bai shook his head.

"The people chasing me are the devils."

As he finished speaking, a ray of golden light shone from his fingertips.

As soon as the golden light appeared, the air in the entire study became scorching hot.

Huang Bai looked at him and asked:

Have you ever seen a ghost like me?

Mr. Lin was speechless for a moment.

Huang Bai drew his magic sword again, ran his fingertips along the blade, and the edge immediately emitted a faint golden light.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the longsword pierced directly into the wall, penetrating several inches deep, its blade humming.

Mr. Lin stared at the sword, and his expression finally changed.

"Who exactly are you?"

Huang Bai sheathed his sword, and the light in the study flickered.

"Wong Sin Shrine in Kowloon, Taoist priests who exorcise ghosts, Huang Bai."

After saying that, he took out a videotape.

It contains footage of Huang Yaozu and others dealing with vengeful ghosts.

After reading it, Mr. Lin remained silent for a long time.

Huang Bai then continued speaking:

"I'm here on behalf of the Demon Slayer's Office to seek your cooperation. You provide the effort, and I'll slay the demons. Let's completely wipe out this bunch of bastards in Hong Kong."

Mr. Lin did not agree immediately.

Things have come to this point, and it's no longer as simple as just catching a few bad guys.

If we really take action, we might be going against half the system, or even some people who are more deeply hidden.

Can he really handle it?

Huang Bai stared at him intently, as if pressuring him to make a decision.

"If you don't try, you'll never know if you'll ever have a chance."

"Mr. Lin, are you really planning to leave this mess to the next generation?"

"This world is long overdue for a change."

Mr. Lin stared at Huang Bai for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

"it is good."

"I'll cooperate with you."

From this moment on, the Demon-Slaying Palace officially connected with the Hong Kong government.

In the following days, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and several secret teams worked together to take down several so-called major corrupt officials.

These people are human on the surface, but in reality they have long since become ghost shells.

The news kept coming out one after another.

"The case in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department has now been investigated. Huang Yaozu is the victim. He was framed by Liu Rong and her gang after he uncovered their conspiracy..."

"Huang Yaozu has been officially reinstated and promoted to deputy director, directly commanding the Flying Tigers. Li Guoqiang has taken over as head of the miscellaneous affairs section..."

"Starting today, Hong Kong will enter a one-month Level 1 alert period to crack down on triads and their networks."

Soon, people from all walks of life began to express their opinions.

"International superstar Chen Long publicly supports the crackdown on organized crime on behalf of the entertainment industry."

"Multiple associations, including lawyers, financial institutions, merchants, and trucking companies, jointly signed in support."

The Flying Tigers were fully mobilized and began to crack down on all the shady forces.

On the surface, it's a city-wide crackdown on triads.

In the shadows, what was truly eliminated were the ghosts and their white gloves hidden behind the scenes of both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

At the same time, the Demon Slayer Palace began recruiting new members.

Those who are naturally perceptive, bold, and willing to work hard are gradually being recruited.

On the surface, the Hong Kong government is exerting its influence, while behind the scenes, the Demon Exorcism Bureau is clearing out ghosts. Humanity's counterattack has truly begun on this small island.

Flying Tigers headquarters.

There were more than thirty young people standing in the hall, both men and women, all of whom were recently recruited into the Demon Slayer's Palace.

Three dark brown tomb raiding talismans were displayed on the stand.

This is the most important thing for the Demon Slayer Palace right now.

Every day when everyone goes to work, the first thing they do is touch the talisman to make sure they're not possessed by a ghost.

Huang Yaozu, dressed in a white uniform, stood at the front of the crowd with his back ramrod straight.

The way these newcomers looked at him was clearly one of admiration.

"That Taoist priest will be here today." Huang Yaozu glanced at everyone. "We'll follow his instructions for the rest of the operation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out below.

These people had heard the name Huang Bai so many times they were sick of it, but not a single one of them had actually seen Huang Bai in person.

All they knew was that this Taoist priest Huang possessed extraordinary and unorthodox abilities, and that all the methods of the Demon-Slaying Palace were passed down by him.

Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, a golden light suddenly shone overhead.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

The next moment, a ripple spread across the ceiling like water.

The yellow and white liquid came down directly from the roof.

He simply passed through the ceiling and landed quietly in front of everyone, as if he were not bound by the physical rules of this world at all.

The hall fell silent instantly.

The newcomers who had been whispering all froze, their breathing becoming much softer.

Huang Bai glanced at everyone and didn't say anything more.

"Let's go, Mingyue Tower."

"Yes, Daoist Master!"

Everyone then came to their senses, and their voices exploded, even shaking the roof.

Huang Bai didn't look at them, but instead raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the buildings and streets, fixing directly on a certain manor.

"Li Cheng, Hong Kong's richest man... you've been hiding it well. It turns out you're the real Ghost King."

At that moment, both the Demon Slayer Palace and the Flying Tigers moved simultaneously.

On the other side, the group led by Li Cheng finally dropped their pretense and revealed their true armed forces.

All the hidden threads, all the blood debts, all the schemes were laid bare at this moment.

The final battle is finally about to begin.
