Chapter 315: Chapter 7: If You Make the Wrong Choice, You Must Face the Consequences

Bang! Bang!...

Liang Hui advanced with a step, his body swaying casually.

Each time he sidestepped, he managed to dodge the gunfire with perfect timing.

Crouching in a tall building, a gaunt man supported a sniper rifle.

Fear flooded his face as he continued to pull the trigger relentlessly.

Ah! Ah!

The man let out meaningless screams.

He didn’t want to die.

But as the youth’s figure entered the high-rise beneath his feet,

the gaunt man’s arms loosened their hold on the rifle, and he collapsed to the ground.

Tears mixed with snot streamed down his cheeks.

It wasn’t that he lacked mental fortitude.

It was that anyone who witnessed nearly a hundred fully armed comrades slaughtered like chickens would react the same way.

Tap! Tap!

The crisp sound of footsteps, like a death knell from hell.

A tall figure appeared at the end of the line of sight.

The blood-stained yellow robe, the face showing contentment, blood dripping from his palm.

"Please spare me, I have behind me..."

A bloody hand instantly traversed space, cutting off his plea.

Rip! Bang!

The head fell, blood spurting from the neck.

Liang Hui stood by the window, flicking the blood from his hand.

The youth’s gaze was cold as he first looked in the direction of the Da Yu government offices, then turned his attention to the Yuhua Villa District.

Since you chose betrayal, then face the consequences of failure.

He leaped down from the building and then vanished at the end of the street.

...

On the plane to the provincial capital, in the VIP area,

a dignified middle-aged man dressed in a black robe looked at his daughter sitting across from him.

"Killing people, even dozens, you expect us, the Yang Family, to cover for him?"

"Does he deserve it?"

"Father, he has acquired extraordinary powers, I saw with my own eyes a ghost reduced to ashes in an instant, its power drained away."

Yang Shan retorted, her pretty face anxious.

"Is that so?"

The middle-aged man lifted his tea, taking a sip.

A smile flickered across his authoritative features.

"Never mind whether what you saw was an illusion, if it is, even better."

The man finished his tea in one gulp.

"Extraordinary powers, if contributed to the state, would grant us benefits beyond imagination."

As for the Taoist Qing Cang, whether he could resist the Da Yu Dynasty,

Hah!

If the supernatural could overpower technology, then religions, not the royal family, would be governing the nation.

Moreover, he had taken precautions and had flown straight from Lin’an City to the provincial capital.

He didn’t believe that the Taoist could cross the long distance and kill his way to the provincial seat.

"Father!"

"Shouldn’t things be different? He has not wronged me."

Yang Shan extended her hand, rubbing the teacup, murmuring softly.

"Does it matter?"

"We should only care about our interests."

The middle-aged man put down the teacup with a thud.

For a time, silence filled the VIP lounge.

Ding-a-ling... Ding-a-ling...

The ring of the communication device seemed especially clear at this moment.

The middle-aged man’s brows slightly furrowed.

His work communications had long been switched off; now only personal calls could come through.

And very few people knew his personal number.

Reaching into his pocket, he took out the communicator, his expression growing more solemn when he saw the caller’s name.

His finger hovered, then slowly pressed the answer button.

"Yang Li, the Taoist you reported to us, just who is he?"

A deep voice came through the communication device.

The person on the other end was trying hard to suppress their emotions.

"Dead! They’re all dead!"

"Hundreds of public security officers, along with the Public Security Bureau, have been destroyed."

"He’s heading toward the government offices now; just wait, if we are to die, don’t expect yourself to live either."

The voice escalated from a deep murmur to a roar.

Accompanied by intense explosions and gunfire.

Yang Li’s face visibly turned pale, his mouth opened as if he wanted to speak.

But he didn’t know what to say.

He sat there in a daze, feeling a chilling cold to the bone.

The situation had exceeded his predictions.

How could Taoist Qing Cang dare to defy, and even carry out such violent slaughters.

That was the Da Yu Dynasty that had suppressed the world for eight hundred years.

...

Lin’an City.

Majestic, imposing government buildings.

Filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Explosions and gunfire sounded intermittently.

But as time passed, all the noisy sounds gradually subsided to silence.

Liang Hui’s fist thrust forward, striking the face of a burly man.

Boom! Crack!

His eyeballs burst, and the bones of his face caved into his skull.

The burly man didn’t even have time to scream before he fell down, lifeless.

No figures stood before the young man anymore; behind him, the corridor was littered with severed limbs, the blood painting the whole hallway red.

Thwap! Thwap!

Blood-stained boots stepped forward, arriving at the last room’s door.

Click!

He opened the door, strode in, and what appeared before his eyes was a corpulent old man with glasses.

The old man had white and gray hair, neatly groomed, wearing a specially-tailored official robe that exuded an air of authority.

"Heretic Qing Cang, do you know... "

Rip!

The fat head tumbled to the ground.

Blood gushed like a fountain, spurting several feet high from the severed neck.

"Such a chatterbox."

"A minor country in the human world, which in the past didn’t even have the qualification to catch my attention."

He reached out with his palm, capturing a wisp of vital energy.

He activated the Divine Skill ’Dream Entry’.

In a flash, the direction in which the Yang Family had escaped.

The true face of this world was fully revealed to the young man.

After a long time.

Liang Hui’s eyes regained focus, and a trace of irony crossed his face.

"So, it’s ’ghosts’ that you call such beings? Then let’s just call them ghosts for now."

He had obtained the information he wanted from the senior official’s past.

Next.

Liang Hui looked grimly in the direction of the provincial capital.

"I wouldn’t be satisfied doing anything unless I exterminate you all."

At this moment, the matter of establishing a religion to gather faith was put aside by Liang Hui.

He turned!

Heading down the corridor.

Just as he stepped out of the room, the young man’s stride halted.

One tall, one short, two figures draped in trench coats appeared at the end of the corridor.

"I wasn’t sure if you were a man or a ghost until I saw you in person."

"Can you tell me how you did it?"

The shorter figure stepped forward, stopping ten meters away from the young man.

Sunglasses were taken off, revealing a plain face with bloodshot eyes.

The tall figure behind him followed suit, his expression extremely grave.

The scene before them was too horrific, with corpses, shell casings, and the charred aftermath of explosions everywhere.

It was not something that could be explained away by simply calling someone a martial arts expert.

Even they, as Ghost Subduers, couldn’t reach such an extent.

Unless they were ready to die, releasing the ghosts completely and dragging the opponent down with them.

Liang Hui looked the two over with interest.

Pointing to his blood-soaked Taoist Robe.

"I am a Taoist, naturally possessing some knowledge of the Tao; achieving this extent shouldn’t be surprising."

"In this world, aside from ghosts, there is certainly no other force."

The shorter man withdrew his arms from his coat pockets.

When he first became a Ghost Subduer, he went to all the nearby religious centers, praying for salvation.

But all he got was disappointment, nothing else.

Those religious leaders were either swindlers or told him to believe in science.

"Heh!"

"The world is vast; it’s simply that you have yet to encounter it."

Liang Hui’s steps resumed, bypassing the two Ghost Subduers, and he disappeared around the corner.
