Chapter 48 Crisis in the Underworld
Before Su Fan could react, the character "封" (seal) merged into Lin Batian's body.
Su Fan was completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Why did Zhong Kui attack Lin Batian?
No... there must be something wrong!
Lin Batian was somewhat annoyed: "Senior, what are you doing...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a black aura suddenly emerged from his body, interrupting him.
Lin Batian stared blankly at his chest, where the character "封" (seal) appeared, radiating golden light.
And that black mist was coming from here!
Seeing this scene, Su Fan solidified his thoughts.
It seems Zhong Kui was right; he didn't attack Lin Batian, but instead helped him...
Exorcising ghosts! Catching ghosts!
As expected, after the black mist emerged, it formed a ghost exuding an evil aura in the air. The ghost hovered in the air, struggling incessantly.
The character "封" (seal) detached from Lin Batian's body and flew above the ghost, enveloped in golden light.
After the ghost was pulled out of Lin Batian's body, Lin Batian felt completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
But Lin Batian could clearly feel that his spirits were better.
Waaaaah~~
Because of the suppression by the "sealing" character, the ghost could only make painful sounds and could not move.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Kui's eyes turned cold, and he flicked the ghost-binding rope in his hand, sending it flying towards the ghost.
The ghost-binding rope spins in the air, automatically binding the ghost upon contact and firmly restraining it.
Then, Zhong Kui lightly drew his judge's pen in the air, tearing a rift in space that led to the underworld.
"You beast, get inside and stay there obediently!"
Zhong Kui roared, his eyes wide with rage, and the ghosts bound by the ghost-binding rope were quickly sucked into the opening.
Then the opening slowly closed.
At this moment, there wasn't a single comment on the screen; it was completely silent.
Netizens were stunned. After a moment, they all swallowed hard, unable to believe it.
Then... the barrage of comments erupted like a volcanic eruption.
"Holy crap, ghosts really do exist! Mom wasn't lying to me!"
"Are we all possessed by demons? No! I don't want to die!"
"Master Zhong Kui, I beg you, I judged you by your appearance. Could you please take a look at me? I have a feeling that I'm possessed by a ghost!"
"Upstairs, you have to queue up too. Master Zhong Kui, I'll go first."
"..."
After doing all this, Zhong Kui flew down from the sky, pointed his index finger, and a beam of white light entered Lin Batian's body.
In an instant, Lin Baqi's body returned to normal.
He stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhong Kui:
"Thank you so much, Senior Zhong Kui, for saving us!"
Zhong Kui nodded slightly: "That's also my fault. I exude an evil aura, and if you stay in contact with my statue for too long, you'll be tainted by it."
"Evil spirits are attracted to evil, and they will silently attach themselves to you while you are resting at night."
Lin Batian was shocked upon hearing this. Didn't this mean that his subordinates who frequently moved the statue of Zhong Kui were also possessed by a vengeful ghost?
"Senior Zhong Kui, my men..."
Before Lin Batian could finish speaking, Zhong Kui interrupted him:
"I just checked. In this house, you're the only one possessed by a vengeful ghost; everyone else is fine!"
Lin Batian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhong Kui waved his hand: "You're the one who woke me up, aren't you?"
As Zhong Kui spoke, he glanced at Su Fan beside him.
He actually knew that, theoretically, it was Su Fan who awakened it, but in reality, it was Lin Batian.
He did want to form a contract with Su Fan, but firstly, Su Fan wasn't the one who awakened Him, and secondly, Su Fan already had an old friend within him who was stronger than Him—
Sun Wukong!
Although He is also an SSS-level deity, there are differences among SSS-level beings, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, is the strongest among them.
Given the Great Sage's unruly nature, it would be impossible for him to accept Su Fan's contract with a god weaker than Him.
Zhong Kui sighed almost imperceptibly.
Lin Batian nodded: "Yes, senior."
"Alright, without further ado, I will now sign a contract with you. I hope that by acquiring my abilities, you will be able to cleanse the world of its remaining ghosts!"
After Zhong Kui finished speaking, he flicked his hands, and the Judge's Pen and the Ghost-Binding Rope transformed into streams of light, entering Lin Batian's forehead.
Zhong Kui's voice then rang out: "You can summon them simply by silently reciting their names in your heart."
"Remember, you must nourish them with spiritual energy once a day to prevent the Judge's Pen and the Ghost-Binding Rope from generating evil energy and harming the human world!"
Lin Batian's voice was firm and resolute: "Yes!"
Zhong Kui nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Su Fan.
"Boy, the underworld is now just a name, but it still suppresses many ghosts."
"Although I was awakened, I do not have the ability to suppress so many ghosts. Only the Great Emperor of Fengdu has this ability."
"I hope you can find the statue of the Emperor of Fengdu and awaken him to prevent ghosts from causing chaos in the world!"
Zhong Kui conveyed these words to Su Fan through telepathy.
After hearing this, Su Fan nodded to Zhong Kui with a worried expression.
At that moment, Zhong Kui was also looking at him.
According to Zhong Kui, there should be no gods left in the underworld, only ghosts.
In this way, ghosts without divine suppression will likely emerge even faster than Zhong Kui imagined.
Su Fan felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
If we cannot find the statue of the Emperor of Fengdu as soon as possible and awaken Him, the harm would probably be greater than that caused by extraterrestrial creatures.
At that time, with extraterrestrial creatures invading from the outside and ghosts causing chaos within China, China will truly be on the verge of extinction.
After Zhong Kui finished transmitting his voice, he quickly formed hand seals, which then transformed into a black ball that shot into Lin Batian's forehead like a laser beam.
In an instant, Lin Batian was enveloped in black mist and slowly floated in mid-air.
Spiritual energy continuously flowed into his body.
This is because he made a contract with an SSS-level deity, which improved his cultivation level.
boom--
With a bang, the black mist dissipated completely, and Lin Batian's body fell from the sky.
Fortunately, he had the strength of an 8th-level being and could fly, otherwise he would have been half-dead from the fall.
After landing safely in the treacherous terrain, Lin Ba clasped his hands in thanks to Su Fan, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Su!"
No wonder he got excited!
He couldn't help but be excited. He had spent so much money and consulted so many fortune tellers, but none of them had been able to successfully awaken Zhong Kui.
Su Fan truly lives up to his reputation as a master with 100% accurate judgment!
After expressing his gratitude, Lin Batian took out his phone and swiped several 999+ Supreme Carnivals.
For a family like his that has existed for who knows how long, money is a minor issue.
Su Fan awakened an SSS-level god for him, and he still felt it wasn't enough of a reward after all the effort he had put in!
The other appraisal masters he invited all wanted things like kung fu supernatural abilities, weapons and artifacts, or statues of gods, and none of them asked for money.
Lin Batian thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Brother Su, it just so happens that a previously unexplored divine site controlled by the Lin Clan of Langya is currently in an open area."
"Would you be interested in going in and taking a look? I can give you a spot as a reward for helping to identify the deity."
