C820 The Underworld also Has Its Own World
"This is the place."
After the time it took to eat a meal, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the tent. Little Sun pointed at the pure white tent flap as he spoke to the two of them.
Although they had sensed that the tent wasn't too far away from them before, the three of them had actually exhausted most of their strength just to get to the front of the tent. In fact, all of them were already out of breath, especially Zheng Kai, who had just gone through a huge battle with only about a third of his HP remaining. At this time, even if they raised their heads to look at the top of the tent, they would still feel the strain.
"It can be said that Grandma Meng's Soup has a special kind of herb. For cultivators, it can have the effect of dispersing martial arts …"
Zhong Kui's expression didn't look too good either. He even rested for a while before he explained to Zheng Kai.
"What?" "Scattering Technique Powder?"
Hearing those three words, Zheng Kai was subconsciously stunned, then he turned around and was about to run away.
What kind of joke was this? To cultivators, this kind of thing was more terrifying than poison. Even if one was poisoned, as long as one's skill was still there, they could temporarily suppress it and then think of a way to slowly decipher its contents.
However, the Dispersing Flash could directly cause one's skill to disappear, leaving no hope of being able to recover it.
"Don't, don't, don't …"
Zhong Kui reached out and grabbed Zheng Kai's shoulder when he noticed Zheng Kai running.
"I'm just saying that there is a component that, after Grandma Meng's special processing, can no longer cause any actual harm to us. It will only slightly affect us through the smoke emitted from the chimney when we are near it."
"So …"
Only after hearing Dong Kui's explanation did Deng Kai stop his fleeing movements. He stood in his original spot and pondered for a moment before coming to a guess.
"That's why we feel a little tired, isn't it?"
"That's right."
This time, it was Grandma Meng's assistant, the gentle looking middle-aged man Little Sun, who answered.
Standing at the door and watching the smoking chimney, Little Sun hesitated for a moment before turning around and saying to the two of them.
"Not to mention the two of you, even I, who don't come here often, find it difficult to resist the influence that this has on me."
After saying that, Little Sun raised his arm and wiped off a layer of sweat from his forehead. He looked extremely similar to a small leader of a township company. There was no need to mention how comical he looked.
However, Zheng Kai didn't have any desire to laugh at this moment because he thought that even smoke had such an important effect on people. If it was a cultivator that directly ate that herb, what would the result be?
Could it be …
Thinking about this, Zheng Kai frowned. An absurd idea appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that this herb is the strange person's purpose in coming here?"
"What?"
Before Little Sun could say anything, Zhong Kui was startled by Zheng Kai's words. At the same time, he thought about what would happen if these herbs were found by someone with ulterior motives and were thrown into the cultivation world or the Heavenly Court on a large scale.
At that time, let alone some ordinary Cultivator, even rogue cultivators that haven't levelled up, even the deities in the Heavenly Court would receive a devastating blow.
Zhong Kui couldn't help lowering his head as he thought of this. He then exchanged a worried glance with Zheng Kai.
Even though they didn't say anything, the two had the same thought. No matter what, they had to stop him.
"Boss Zheng Kai is truly wise and meticulous."
Seeing the expressions of the two, Little Sun naturally guessed. They had already guessed the weirdo's purpose and the most important part of the problem.2
"Presumably, this is also the reason why the Ten Yama Kings didn't even dare to attack this strange man. Instead, they brought the two of you here."
However, what Little Sun said next enraged Zhong Kui.
"My landlord is becoming more and more like a person with Mortal Realm. If something happens, the leader will run first. If he wants to take the blame, then ask the temporary workers to come."
As Little Sun spoke, his face revealed a look of contempt and ridicule. It was clear that he thought that these three people were cannon fodder who had been pushed to the front by the Leader.
"Bullshit!"
Hearing what Little Sun said, before Zheng Kai could ask any more questions, Zhong Kui couldn't hold back the rage in his heart and pointed at Little Sun as he started cursing.
"Don't think of me as a petty person. How can Yama Lord's thoughts be easily guessed by us? "I'll give you a word of advice. Just act according to the decree and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, or else …"
It was obvious that Little Sun's speculation about Yama Lord's thoughts had angered Zhong Kui. He only saw her stretch out her hand and point at Little Sun. With a sudden clench of her hand, it actually caused a sonic boom in the air.
"I want to clean up the mess on behalf of Grandma Meng!"
"Haha …"
Despite Zhong Kui's threats, Little Sun wasn't afraid. He only looked at Zhong Kui with some pity. He sneered but didn't say anything. He turned around, jumped up the tent flap, and walked in.
"She's just an assistant, how can she have such a temper?"
Only when Little Sun entered the tent did Zheng Kai turn around and look at Zhong Kui as he asked in a low voice.
In terms of level, Zhong Kui was not inferior to Grandma Meng. Although the latter had enough experience in the Underworld and also had many friends in high positions, as Ghost King was much stronger than everyone else, Zhong Kui clearly had more authority than China.
However, Zheng Kai found it strange that one of Grandma Meng's assistants would have the courage to speak to Zhong Kui in such a manner.
"This Little Sun is not simple."
Zhong Kui's expression changed several times upon hearing Zheng Kai's question. In the end, he didn't directly answer the question. Instead, he slightly lowered his head and sighed helplessly. It was obvious that there was something hard to say within his heart.
"Well, let's follow him and see what he does."
Seeing this, Zheng Kai could only slightly nod his head and did not continue asking. Where there are people, there will be martial arts. It was the same in the Underworld. Where there are ghosts, there will be fights.
On the surface, Zhong Kui was a famous ghost who was worshipped wherever he went. However, the resources behind his back were not as brilliant as on the surface. There were even some people who could be a head above him. This was something that no one could do anything about.
Ever since he had obtained the Store System, Zheng Kai had interacted quite a bit with these deities in the Heavenly Court. Naturally, he understood the tricks behind them and hence, he nodded slightly and took the lead to follow along.
