Unless this was a trap set up specifically for this purpose from the beginning.
Gao Ming's face was as pale as paper.
Looking at Gao Ming's almost manic expression.
Huang Laosi became even more smug and laughed.
"Guess how many boys and girls your ancestors sacrificed to the Dragon King during the floods a hundred years ago?"
"I don't even care about Hu Tianshun's life, why would I care about you?"
"Deng Youfu is dead at our hands, so what can that little girl Guan Shihua do? Even if I kill you right here today, guess what Gao Lian dares to do?"
"The lineage of shamans? Ha! You've always been the ones who need us, worshipping us generation after generation, and now you want to turn the world upside down?"
"Today, I'll use your life to tell that little girl Guan Shihua and that idiot Gao Lian that we are the true rulers of the area beyond the Great Wall."
"Back when the emperor built temples and bestowed titles upon us, he was begging us for help. How dare that little Taoist priest defy the heavens?"
"Are you going to deal with Lu Xuan, Daoist Lu, today?"
Gao Ming's expression grew increasingly grim.
Lu Xuan's fame spread far and wide, and countless people in the world of supernatural beings worshipped him. Within the Na Du Tong Company, there were even more people who were fanatically worshipping Lu Xuan.
But the closer one gets to power, the further one gets from faith.
As a member of the Gao family, one of the four great families in the world of supernatural beings, and a prominent family that has worshipped household spirits for generations, he grew up surrounded by such influences and has never been particularly interested in the Xuanmen (mystical sects) within the pass.
Especially after hearing that Lu Xuan had killed Liu Kunsheng, Gao Ming also began to distrust the so-called "Temporary Management Regulations for Extraordinary People" promoted by Na Du Tong. His opinion only changed after he heard that Lu Xuan had killed Bi He Ren all the way and even reached the Japanese mainland.
Most people from aristocratic families care more about their own "family background" than about the overall narrative of the so-called "world of extraordinary people".
Not to mention that Lu Xuan also killed Liu Kunsheng, a great immortal, which made Lu Xuan's reputation outside the pass extremely bad.
Some disciples of the shamanic lineage genuinely worship their household spirits as ancestors.
These beliefs and values, instilled from childhood, are deeply ingrained and difficult to shake.
So when he heard that Liu Kunsheng was killed because he forcibly possessed Deng Youfu and wanted to seek revenge on Lu Xuan, he didn't believe it.
He also heard from insiders that someone from one of the major immortal families had joined forces with other forces to attack the company's convoy and kill Deng Youfu, but he didn't believe it.
Because he felt that Liu Kunsheng was a guardian spirit, how could he possibly forcibly seize his disciple's body?
The five great immortal families have been worshipped by the shamanic lineage for generations, so how could they possibly collude with outside forces to harm their own disciples?
This worship and blind obedience to the Five Immortals almost completely brainwashed him.
Even after being attacked by Huang Laosi, he still clung to a sliver of hope, staring incredulously at the "household deity" he worshipped.
Until now, right now!
Gao Ming seemed to suddenly realize something and asked with an incredulous look on his face.
"Could the news be true? The heavy snow that has been falling in the area outside the pass these past few days, and the blizzard that has blocked the mountains, was also your doing?"
"Just to make Lu Xuan bow down?"
"Sixth Master, this concerns the very lifeline of countless ordinary people outside the Great Wall!"
Old Huang scoffed dismissively.
Why is this silly boy still so naive?
The white fox, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, seemed somewhat reluctant and let out a soft sigh.
"Old Huang, do you really have to be so blunt? Wouldn't it be better to let this child die a little more confused?"
He looked at Gao Ming, who was becoming increasingly frantic and nearly out of control.
The white fox licked its fur very elegantly, but its voice was very indifferent.
“Brilliant! You are the most filial son of your generation. What’s wrong with sacrificing your life?”
"Hu Tianshun is my elder brother. Even he can die. With him by your side, you won't be alone on your journey to the underworld!"
"Tch! Don't try to fool him."
Huang Laosi laughed heartily: "Whether it's the shamanic lineage or the Taoist school, there are countless ways to find a person's soul."
"We framed him, murdered him to silence him, how could we possibly leave his soul to give others grounds for accusations? And where would he go to the underworld?"
"Let me do it!"
"That's what Huang Laosi is saying."
Raising its claw, it slashed down at Gao Ming, who had gone mad and completely lost the will to resist.
