A Prelude? / Mother Ghost Fiend, the Eight-Foot Lady

Lu Jun and his group decided to return home, parting ways with Zhao Yulin and the others.

On the way back, Mo Fan whistled, in a good mood after obtaining Flame Princess. He suddenly said, "By the way, Lao Lu, how did you manage to hide in our team? What abilities do you have?"

Lu Jun smiled but remained silent.

Soon, when everyone crossed the Sand Net River, they were shocked to find that Lu Jun had deliberately summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast, unleashed the Nightmare Domain, and then secretly used his Mind Invisibility to shield them, making their journey unimpeded.

"Wow!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, "Mo Fan, Chairman Lu is much more capable than your Xin Xia. This Summoned Beast is also of the mind type, tsk tsk tsk, that's the difference!"

"Get out of here! What's Xin Xia's cultivation level? What's her Mental Power level?"

Mo Fan, looking disdainful, dismissed his little wife's offer and said, "Before, you called her Goddess Xin Xia, but now that you have Commander-level Dream Beast, you call me 'little sister'."

After successfully leaving the Scorching Plains, before officially stepping into human territory, Jiang Feng took a step forward, her figure swaying like flames, and actively entered Lu Mei's body.

Bear! Bear! Bear!

In an instant, Lu Mei's temperament changed drastically. Her smooth, dark hair was dyed bright red, and her fair skin was covered with fine lines. She was charming and exotic, and her graceful figure was tall and slender, like a goddess of fire.

Everyone present was stunned and looked up in awe. "Sister Lu Mei is amazing! So beautiful!"

Fortunately, Lu Mei's flames quickly subsided, and she returned to normal, holding her younger brother's hand with a smile on her lips, clearly very satisfied.

Then, Lu Jun and his group took a plane back to Magic City.

Zhang Xiaohou and his wife did not go with them; they returned directly to the Military Department to report for duty after their vacation ended.

Prelude to Chapter 216?

In Magic City, Lu Jun and his group walked out of the airport.

Mo Fan said cheerfully, "Finally back! The trip to Dunhuang Scorched Plain wasn't in vain. We got Flame Princess. But I never expected that Monkey would get married and not invite us. That's not very brotherly."

"Indeed." Lu Jun nodded in approval, then added, "But didn't he say that he would take some time off later to hold a grand wedding and invite relatives and friends?"

"Hehehe, there are too many wolves and not enough meat in the army, Zhang Xiaohou is getting anxious, he'll only feel at ease after getting married."

Mo Fan stroked his chin. "It seems he's being transferred away from Dongting Lake this time, to the Ancient Capital? Who knows when we'll see him again."

"Xiao Hou's unit is under the central government's command, and he's a key figure in their development program. He's frequently transferred, so he might just end up in Magic City."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun responded that he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; Zhang Xiaohou had gone to the Ancient Capital as before.

Fortunately He Yu wasn't part of the reconnaissance team. As Water Element Healing System mage, staying in a safe area prevented her from dying needlessly.

As for the monkey... he learned that the Rock Element Spirit Seed [Flowing Swamp] from Dongting Lake, after being resold, still ended up in Zhang Xiaohou's hands. As a mage of both wind and earth elements, escaping would be easy for him.

Moreover, Lu Jun specifically reminded Zhang Xiaohou that when going to the Ancient Capital to do missions, it's best to have [Gray Garlic] ready at all times.

This item can conceal the presence of the living, allowing free movement among the dead. In critical moments, it can be a lifesaver; combining the two ensures absolute safety.

He couldn't say anything more. On the one hand, he couldn't explain the source of the information, and on the other hand, even if he told Abyss of Calamity about it in advance, it might alert the enemy.

Because the core technology that draws the Abyss of Abyss of Calamity was never revealed in the original story until the end of the Calamity of the Dead.

There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. All he can do is defend and counterattack, using his advantage of foresight to resolve events promptly and perfectly.

Even so, after Lu Jun repeatedly reminded Zhang Xiaohou, the other party was still quite puzzled. He casually made up an excuse that he knew about the local customs and culture of the Ancient Capital to cover it up.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohou was honest and trustworthy, so he agreed without saying anything.

"The Abyss of Calamity Death, the Undead, the Ancient King..."

Lu Jun suspected that the method of drawing Abyss of Calamity was related to the Dark King.

After all, Undead Magic originates from the Dark Plane, and Salang Ye Chang's husband was Wen Tai. After falling into the Dark Plane, he became an avatar of the Dark King. Once this logic is understood, it makes sense.

Moreover, Wen Tai's adopted daughter, Asha Ruiya, under the alias Ye Meng'e, happened to appear in the Ancient Capital.

Ye Chang, Ye Meng'e, Ye Xin Xia... the relationship is obvious.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Asha Ruiya's intelligence chief traveled all the way from Europe to the Ancient Capital. Could she be trying to profit from both the Black Vatican and the Adjudication Court?"

Lu Jun speculated that, according to the original work, the Adjudication Court inexplicably received a continuous stream of intelligence after the disaster, making a significant contribution to handling the Ancient Capital Undead Abyss of Calamity incident.

After careful consideration, he felt that the key to the matter lay with Asha Ruiya and Salang, and that he should keep a close eye on them during his trip to Ancient Capital.

At Magic City Airport, Mo Fan didn't go back to the university with Lu Jun and the others; he still had to send Xin Xia off to Zhe Province.

Lu Jun glanced at Xin Xia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and was deeply impressed by the complexity of her family background.

Not only was her mother, Salang, Wen Tai Cardinal, but her father, Venté, was also an unprecedented male Holy Son before the Parthenon Temple, something her adoptive sister couldn't fathom.

It should be noted that the Parthenon Temple is of great significance, ranking alongside the Five Continents Magic Association, the Hunter's Alliance, and the Holy City as one of the eight top powers in the human world, representing the pinnacle of power.

At the same time, it and the Holy City are considered the two pillars of the Western world, neither of which can be dispensed with.

Finally, the Parthenon Temple was also the leader of White Magic, proficient in the four major Magic System blessing, healing, mind, and plants. In particular, the Blessing Element monopolized the world's methods of awakening, making it unique.

Even the Nanrong Family in China, which is the family from which Nan Rongni originated, has Blessing Element that is related to the Parthenon Temple.

The prize that Lu Jun coveted for this year's National Championship winner, the [Divine Seal Praise], stemmed from this.

Xin Xia has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. <Rebirth: I am the daughter of a top-tier figure in both the legitimate and underworld circles>.

"Tsk tsk, there's still a [Resurrection Soul] hidden within her body, a divine artifact that only the [Goddess], the leader of Parthenon, is qualified to possess. It can be used to perform Resurrection Technique. It was probably given to her by her father Wen Tai."

Lu Jun was envious. Life is treacherous, and who wouldn't want to carry a resurrection suit with them at all times?

The Resurrection Soul is of a higher quality than what he intended to scheming in the Ancient Capital. In addition to its own Resurrection Technique, it can also summon Twelve Sacred Souls, each with Forbidden Curse Level combat power.

"The essence of her divine soul was refined from the very origin of Athena, an unparalleled powerhouse in ancient Western times. This great being was undoubtedly Emperor in her lifetime, reaching the level of a ruler (Middle Emperor)."

He muttered to himself, "I don't have any ideas for now. This thing is too important; so many people are watching it."

Cardinal Salon, the Parthenon, and the deceased Holy Son, the current Dark King Ventay.

I can't afford to mess with them.

Xin Xia herself suffered Great Disaster due to the Resurrection Soul, and was caught in a huge vortex, not to mention that her soul had been unable to stand up since childhood.

Once taken to Parthenon, they were met with one conspiracy after another.

He eventually became a powerful figure who combined influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, but his heart had grown cold, his true colors were revealed in a darker guise, and he had completely transformed into a different person. Was this a kind of fortune?

Lu Jun watched Mo Fan push Xin Xia's wheelchair away, then realized it was none of his business.

With a smile on her lips, Lu Mei gently reached out and took her brother's hand. The two walked home hand in hand.

She was in a good mood. "Tang Yue, Lu Jun has never given you a gift."

My brother, on the other hand, went to great lengths to find a Monarch Level elemental vengeful spirit for my protection and also obtained Fire Element Yuan Crystal. Do you have one?

Lu Jun was unaware of Lu Mei's ulterior motives.

Once he settled down, he couldn't wait to refine his own 'Tiger Ghost'.

Within the White Tiger Pendant, wisps of grayish-white Tribulation Qi rose from the blood lake, constantly washing away the Ghost Wife's soul. The originally dark blue flames were tainted into a solidified grayish-white soul.

A moment later, Lu Jun brought out the 'raw materials'.

A graceful and tall female ghost stood in the room, with exquisite features, a voluptuous and mature figure, dressed entirely in white, surrounded by wisps of Death Tribulation, and her materialized soul body radiating powerful spiritual and curse-like fluctuations.

The Ghost Wife's soul seemed to revert to her true form, and the scorch marks from the Tribulation Fire on her body faded away.

"A female version of the White Impermanence? Before the Ghost Wife was burned, she was actually quite pretty."

Seeing this, Lu Jun looked at him with great interest.

At this moment, the female ghost's beautiful eyes were vacant, her consciousness had been washed away by the White Tiger Pendant, leaving her like a blank sheet of paper, with only the fighting instincts and skills engraved deep in her soul remaining.

You can draw on it freely, do whatever you want, and transform it into any shape you desire.

If this fell into the hands of certain people with unusual fetishes, they would probably shout, "I want to be Ning Caichen, the Undead Knight, the best figurine!" (Like a certain white-clad figure).

Chapter 217 The Mother Ghost Fiend, the Hachishaku-sama

Jinyuan Apartment.

Lu Jun began to concoct the Ghost Wife's soul; it must be said that having a beautiful female ghost made him incredibly prestigious.

While others unleash hideous and ferocious ghosts through their Ghost Punishment, he releases beautiful and mature women, lowering the enemy's guard before striking them down in one fell swoop.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about the female ghost not being scary. When her true form is revealed, her deformed, charred, and twisted appearance is comparable to the faces of Kayako and Sadako, absolutely terrifying.

With a thought, countless Curse Substance overflowed from the vast and winding black and red celestial river within his Spiritual World.

Then, Lu Jun placed his hand on the chest of 'White Impermanence'. The power of the Blood Abyss Curse Mark eroded the female ghost, and black and red sacrificial patterns spread across her body, with a continuous stream of demonic energy surging out.

Hiss! The Ghost Wife's soul was covered in Curse Substance, her essence grew stronger, and her height increased steadily, instantly transforming into a towering, fierce ghost three zhang tall, so tall that she had to half-squat down to squeeze into the room.

Her face was grotesque, with a jumble of strange lines, exuding an otherworldly charm.

"Ah, this..." Lu Jun's eyes widened as he looked up at the two enormous mounds on the ceiling. Hachishaku-sama?! Who could resist such temptation?

In fact, the highest-level ordinary Curse Element magic, Ghost Punishment: Green-faced Ghost Fiend, releases Green-Faced Fanged Evil Ghost that is just this tall, like a small mountain.

Soon, Lu Jun sensed a close connection spreading from his mind to the Ghost Wife's soul, and she was completely refined into his Tiger Ghost.

Yes, Blood Abyss Curse Mark - Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net - Mother Ghost Fiend!

At this moment, Lu Jun's high-level Curse Element was truly perfected, and he understood the meaning of his name.

The term "female" refers to the female form, one of the yin and yang elements, and is also a high-level Cursed Ghost Object in the Dark Plane, with considerable growth potential.

His Mother Ghost Fiend, enhanced by Curse Substance and spiritual power, possesses a base strength several times greater than that of an ordinary Green-faced Ghost Fiend.

Furthermore, the superiority of the Tiger Ghost lies in two aspects: wisdom and unique sorcery.

The former fights independently with cunning and treacherous methods, while the latter, once Lu Jun's cultivation reaches the second or third High-level Two, will evolve along with the Mother Ghost Fiend and will reveal some of the Supernatural Power and magic from his previous life.

The Ghost Wife's original nature, curses, and mind abilities are likely to all be manifested.

"Master, the female fights for you."

Right now, this tall and graceful female ghost had lively and charming eyes. She carefully bent down and wrapped her jade arms around Lu Jun's neck from behind, her beautiful female voice pleasant to the ear.

Lu Jun felt as if he were trapped in a snow-covered cotton mountain, with only one word in his mind: brainwaves, Mortal World bliss.

He coughed lightly. "Female... never mind, I'll just call you White Impermanence. What abilities do you have?"

The title Karma a lot of weight, but he believes that he will become a big shot sooner or later, and his generals will truly live up to the title.

Upon hearing this, the Mother Ghost Fiend fell into deep thought. Suddenly, an ominous Mental Fluctuation erupted from her body, quickly enveloping the entire room and giving it a grayish-white glow.

"This is... the nascent form of a domain, earth element?!"

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Jun was greatly surprised. At the same time, he felt the Cursed River in his mind tremble, and the surging demonic energy actively overflowed, overlapping and merging with the Mother Ghost Fiend, making this fluctuation much stronger.

This is not Earth Element domain, but a cursed domain, which can be called the [Female Mother Earth Domain], or [Medusa's Gaze].

The latter is a domain effect, similar to the Azure Thunder Seal of Tyrant's Savage Thunder.

Lu Jun was greatly shocked. He never expected that the Curse Element domain, which he had never been able to master, would now see a glimmer of hope, with the assistance of the Mother Ghost Fiend.

The Ghost Wife's high-level Earth Element High-level Magic, [Eye of the Rock Demon], was originally modeled after the petrification curse spell of the Medusa clan in Africa.

Now, combined with his Curse Element, returning to his origins, he's more than capable of cosplaying Medusa's Gaze.

That wasn't all. Lu Jun received a boost from the Mother Ghost Fiend, a surge of Mental Power nourishing him and strengthening his Mental Power at the peak of the Fourth Realm, almost reaching the fifth realm.

"Amazing!"

Lu Jun sincerely praised this, saying that this was the difference between the Tiger Ghost and the 'borrowed Cursed Ghost Object ', as it was entirely part of the Star River Magic.

"Master, my strength has not fully recovered yet. My innate demonic technique [Kun Tu] has not been awakened, and I cannot yet use the petrification curse. You need to continue training me. Right now, I only have the ability of earth escape."

The Mother Ghost Fiend said with difficulty.

"It's nothing." Lu Jun didn't care; it was only natural, as the two were intertwined. He said, "Go back to the Curse Well and stay there."

"Yes! "The Mother Ghost Fiend nodded respectfully, lay prostrate on his body, and quickly burrowed into a mysterious space covered by layers of black and red spider webs.

Soon, the grayish-white sheen in the room receded like the Tide, and calm returned.

Lu Jun was satisfied with the Tiger Ghost; its Curse Element strength had improved, and although its domain was only in its nascent stage, it would take shape sooner or later.

Even the current Earth Escape technique is of great help. The Mother Ghost Fiend's embrace helped him escape, which somewhat compensated for his lack of mobility. It's no worse than Shadow Escape or Wind Track.

"My soul and the cursed galaxy can only withstand one more Cursed Ghost Object at most."
