Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge
Chapter 1218 - 701_2

Just because one shelters the villagers doesn't necessarily mean they're a good demon; they might simply be keeping the villagers as a reserve food source.

Karma is the most direct standard to judge whether a being is evil.

Anyone entangled with karma is not a good sort, they're usually immensely evil, with only a few exceptions, the most representative being the Nether River Sect Master who became a Supreme.

The Blood Sea is the filthiest place in the world, yet within it lies a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Karma Fire Red Lotus.

This treasure automatically absorbs the world's karma as nourishment to enhance its own power, and the Nether River Sect Master who acquired it naturally became covered in karma.

However, the Karma Fire Red Lotus can suppress fate, so the Nether River Sect Master is unaffected by the karma. This is why he dared to plot against Red Cloud, attempting to snatch the Foundation of Sanctum, the Hongmeng Purple Qi, from him.

At that time, Red Cloud, who carried the Hongmeng Purple Qi, bore great karma. Killing him meant bearing great karma.

After killing Red Cloud, apart from some injuries, the Nether River Sect Master suffered no other consequences.

Kunpeng, who acted with him, suffered much more miserably; touching Red Cloud involved him in great karma, and after killing Red Cloud, he bore great karma, resulting in a streak of misfortunes.

Hiding in his own lair, he then got beset by Demon Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun, suffering another heavy blow and being forced into the Demon Court to serve as the Demon Master, thereby getting entangled in the Witch Demon Tribulation.

If he wasn't so cunning, with deep scheming and top-notch escape skills, he might not have escaped the fate of perishing in the Witch Demon Tribulation.

Chen Sanzang casually asked Little White Dragon, yet had many questions in his heart.

He knew the plot development of Journey to the West, in which Lu Erjie was Lao Zhu's wife, so how could Lao Zhu have killed her?

This Zhu Ganglie, even when he was Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy in the Heavenly Court, was famous for his lust, but he was also deeply affectionate!

If she truly was his wife, he would cherish her dearly, how could he do such a thing as to kill her?

Therefore, the death of Lu Erjie was highly suspicious, but definitely not the work of Zhu Ganglie.

"Old Xi, to what level has Zhu Ganglie's cultivation restored?"

"Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak, and his physical body is very strong, suspected to be practicing the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique."

Oh, boy, Chen Sanzang thought to himself, further confirming a suspicion.

This Zhu Ganglie must be a disciple of the Human Sect, or else he couldn't possibly have learned the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

It's known that the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is a cultivation technique that proves Dao with power, inherited from Pangu. In the Primordial, besides Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones, only the Twelve Ancestor Witches knew it.

And the divine skill to protect the sect, passed down to disciples by the Three Religions, was an inferior cultivation technique created by deducing the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique—the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

In reality, very few practised the true Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, one famous practitioner being Erlang God Yang Jian.

Initially, Yang Jian also practiced the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, which led to another who stole to learn and got entangled in his karma, Yuan Hong of the Four Monkey of Chaos.

After Yang Jian's ascension, through his master Master Yuding's relations, he got the complete inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, thus transforming the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique into the true Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

As for Sun Wukong in the original Journey to the West, he learned the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique and, after becoming the Victorious Fighting Buddha, had no fate with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

"Old Xi, should we transcend Zhu Ganglie ahead of time?"

Strongly taking a mortal woman as wife can be used as an excuse to get rid of Zhu Ganglie, catching both the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect off guard.

"Whatever you wish, though I've discovered another interesting matter."

Old Xi spoke with a hint of lament, then passed some information to Chen Sanzang.

Gao Cuilan appeared to be an ordinary mortal woman, yet she possessed a hint of not-so-weak immortal energy within her, reaching the Earth Immortal level.

Among the information Old Xi passed, he sensed a peculiar True Spirit aura within Gao Cuilan's Spirit.

Tracing this True Spirit aura through Reincarnation Perception, in its previous life, it turned out to be a Rabbit Spirit!

Oh, boy! Chen Sanzang exclaimed inwardly!

Lu Erjie's True Spirit is residing within Gao Cuilan's Spirit, perfectly integrated, which can only mean one thing: Gao Cuilan is the reincarnation of Lu Erjie!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Sanzang's mind, piecing them together, his previous confusion suddenly became clear.

It could be said that Zhu Ganglie indeed ended Lu Erjie's life over a decade ago, but it was not an attempt to kill and silence her. Instead, he wished to help Lu Erjie rebuild her foundational basis.

Before, Lu Erjie was just an ordinary rabbit-turned-spirit with weak foundations and exhausted potential, making ascension almost impossible.

Zhu Ganglie had a way to enhance Lu Erjie's fundamental base, so through his connections, he assisted Lu Erjie in reincarnating, being reborn as a human!

When Lu Erjie was reborn successfully, Zhu Ganglie then served as a Protector, not only instilling immortal power into Gao Cuilan but also investing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help improve her foundational talent.

Once Lu Erjie's True Spirit awakens and fully controls the immortal power within, Gao Cuilan can instantly achieve Ascension.

With Zhu Ganglie's connections, having Lu Erjie, under Gao Cuilan's identity, obtain a minor divine position of the ninth rank from the Heavenly Court will be effortless!

So, Zhu Ganglie is an absolute romantic!

Understanding all this, Chen Sanzang couldn't help but click his tongue a few times, especially when he looked at Xiao Bai Dragon, Ao Lie, his eyes filled with a sense of pity.

Compared to Ao Lie, the difference in the realm of romance between Zhu Ganglie and him is like heaven and earth!

Zhu Ganglie not only successfully claimed the beauty but also had her utterly devoted, with the great inheritance all freely bestowed upon him.

And Xiao Bai Dragon? Not only does he have a vast 'green field' over his head, but he was also severely wounded by his wife and her lover, truly the essence of misery.

Fuling Mountain, Yunzhan Cave.

Sun Wukong had long sensed the aura of the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

The monkey, who knows the Journey to the West, naturally knows that after being relegated to the mortal world, this one hides here. First seen on NovelFire.

Upon arriving at Gao Village, he also felt the overwhelming demon energy mixed with immortal energy, exactly like the power of the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

"Tianpeng, open the door, Old Sun is here to see you."

The thundering knock shook the stones of the nearby mountain.

The monkey's eyes gleamed with amusement, and his knocking grew more vigorous, causing the entire cave to tremble.

"Damn! You damn monkey, can you knock a bit lighter? My Lao Zhu family is about to be knocked apart by you."

Sensing Sun Wukong's presence, Zhu Ganglie rushed out in exasperation.

He feared that if he delayed, his cave abode would be shattered by this damn monkey.

"Huh, Tianpeng, why do you look like a pig fetus?"

The gleam of amusement in the monkey's eyes was unfiltered, causing Zhu Ganglie to roll his eyes.

"Buzz off! Don't you know, you damn monkey, the mess I was in when relegated to the mortal world? Stop mocking me!"

This monkey was already mischievous in the Heavenly Court; who knows how much immortal wine and food it stole from the Tianpeng Mansion? He suspected this monkey was secretly making fun of him when he was relegated.

"Being a pig fetus isn't so bad; it suits your lazy, lustful nature."

"Buzz off, buzz off! There's no truth from a monkey's mouth! My Lao Zhu is just playing it sloppy, living drunk with wine today. As for lustfulness, I was just schemed against, ruining my reputation!"

Zhu Ganglie now despised the Jade Emperor and the Buddhist Sect.

He believed the schemes against him were orchestrated by these two powers.

A dignified Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, commander of the Heavenly River Water Army, with numerous Fairies throwing themselves at him, just drank a few cups of immortal wine, could he really have done such a thing as harassing Fairy Chang'e?

Let alone the rumors of Fairy Chang'e's beauty being unrivaled in the Three Realms, it's all nonsense!

As long as they're Heavenly Immortals, there's not a single one that's unattractive!

Looks, that's something any immortal could manually modify!

As the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, for such a long time in the Heavenly Court, could he not have had several concubines?

"You, Pig Head, claim not to be lustful—then what's with Gao Cuilan? Since being relegated to the mortal world, you've already gotten several wives."
