Chapter 628: 630: Lin Zhen’s Exorcism! (Third Update)



Chapter 628: Chapter 630: Lin Zhen’s Exorcism! (Third Update)

Lin Zhen was fascinated by what he heard: “That’s indeed impressive, but it’s also a miracle that he managed to survive.”

“Isn’t it? Because of this incident, the Crown Princess is still a prospective Crown Princess since she had not yet married into the family at the time. The Crown Prince has been brooding over this matter, so the two of them haven’t had a big wedding yet.”

“Do you have any information about this person?”

“I do; I’ll send it to you.”

Soon, Lin Zhen received Lin Feng’s information.

“Hua Hua Taisui, also known as Hua Hua, World King, Peak World King, Purple Gold Divine Clan, estimated Star Power of 6.5 million…”

Lin Zhen glanced at his Star Power, and was secretly surprised. A Peak World King with such a high level of Star Power, no wonder he could escape from the encirclement of Longevity Experts.

Purple Gold Divine Clan is one of the top clans in the universe, with a high probability of producing Longevity Experts. If nothing unexpected happens, Hua Hua Taisui will eventually become a Longevity Warrior.

It is said that the Purple Gold Divine Clan has the most formidable bodies, possessing extraordinary defensive power, and ordinary weapons can’t harm them in the slightest.

Furthermore, the bounty on this person is impressively high, reaching a whole 100 billion! However, that is only circulated among Longevity Warriors because the person who issued the bounty knows that ordinary Peak World Kings can’t deal with Hua Hua Taisui, so there’s no point in offering a bounty to them.

“How do you know he’s still in Xianle County?”

“It’s something my father accidentally found out. But my father doesn’t like the current Emperor, so even though he knows the whereabouts of Hua Hua Taisui, he hasn’t revealed it. Maybe he doesn’t care about that 100 billion bounty, and told me not to tell anyone.”

“Would you be able to tell me?” Lin Zhen didn’t have much hope.

“Of course, no problem!”

Lin Feng, who had no integrity, immediately discarded his father’s orders and gave Lin Zhen an address.

“Boss, don’t make a fuss, and don’t be too anxious. Even though the bounty is huge, you have to stay alive to collect it.”

Lin Zhen didn’t go into a deeper discussion on this issue and left the restaurant after eating for a while.

Afterward, he had Lin Feng stay at the Alchemist Guild to watch over the courtyard and the shop for him while he left.

Hua Hua Taisui lived in a mansion on the outskirts of Xianle County and led a low-key life.

Perhaps knowing he had caused a huge disaster back then, the young man dared not show his face in public. The mansion was staffed with servants of the Star Realm Level, leading an ordinary life.

Upon arriving, Lin Zhen first found an opportunity to detain the chef who cooked for Hua Hua Taisui.

The chef quickly confessed about his master’s situation.

He didn’t know much about his master, only that his master was injured and had been recuperating all these years. His daily task was to cook medicinal dishes for his master, and then deliver them to the door.

The master had a black-clothed bodyguard whose job was to taste the food for poison, ensuring absolute safety for the master. In fact, the chef had never actually seen what the master looked like.

Lin Zhen got the information he wanted and used the Soul Lock Skill to turn the chef into his loyal subordinate, then followed him quietly into the mansion.

Now, when Lin Zhen cast Soul Lock, as long as one didn’t scan the Spiritual Consciousness Sea, it was impossible to detect any anomalies. He stayed in the mansion undisturbed.

About a month later, Lin Zhen roughly figured out the situation here.

All signs pointed to Hua Hua Taisui indeed residing here, and it was normal for him to be injured. Having been able to escape from the many Longevity Warriors’ hands back then already spoke of his great fortune.

Even if he was injured, Lin Zhen was no match for him. However, Lin Zhen naturally had his own methods.

As a fifth-grade alchemist and an apprentice of dark alchemy skills, Lin Zhen had many techniques that were difficult to detect.

He took the Ice Lotus from the top of the snowy mountain and prepared the medicine for Hua Hua Taisui in person.

This method was to deceive the bodyguard, as Lin Zhen could see that the bodyguard knew a bit about medicine. He instructed the chef to prepare more good medicinal materials for his master’s recuperation, so the Ice Lotus naturally entered the menu.

After that meal, the medicinal cuisine received Hua Hua Taisui’s praise, indicating that he wanted this kind of ingredient in every meal afterwards.

Thus, Ice Lotus and lotus seeds were put into the dishes and sent to Hua Hua Taisui.

While this cold-attribute medicine indeed had detoxification and healing effects, one thing to note was that the coldness would quietly accumulate in the body. If one didn’t take fire attribute elixirs, it would gradually build up. However, Lin Zhen had also put an appropriate amount of fire snake grass in the dishes to temporarily suppress the coldness without being discovered by the user.

Lin Zhen was waiting for an opportunity when the Ice Lotus seeds’ coldness reached a certain point, which would be his chance to take action.

********

A month passed, and dark clouds filled the sky with heavy snowfall.

The winter season of Xianle County had arrived.

On this chilly day, the master ordered that he did not feel well and would not eat Ice Lotus today. He wanted the kitchen to prepare something warm.

Lin Zhen personally prepared a medicinal dish, putting a fire lotus seed inside, but only the outer shell, as the inside was compressed Ice Lotus.

As the meal was brought in, Lin Zhen quietly waited.

He was waiting, waiting for the lotus seed’s outer shell to be dissolved by stomach acid, and the cold air inside to be fully activated. After that, the external and internal forces would freeze Hua Hua Taisui’s dantian at once, freezing his star power!

A World King who had lost his star power was of no concern to Lin Zhen.

As for his follower, who was merely a Domain King, Lin Zhen cared even less.

About half an hour later…

“Ah~! What’s going on!”

A sudden roar erupted from the previously quiet room. This uncontrollable scream trembled, and there was no hint of deception.

Lin Zhen had been waiting for this moment. He kicked the door open and charged in.

The Domain King’s dantian was also frozen, as he had always been the first to taste the medicinal meals and would often dine with Hua Hua Taisui. He couldn’t escape the same fate.

A dazzling spear light flashed, and the Domain King fell dead.

Lin Zhen finally saw Hua Hua Taisui.

A man who was already covered in ice from head to toe, his star power completely sealed by Lin Zhen’s dark alchemy skill, couldn’t use it for a short time.

However, despite this, Hua Hua Taisui didn’t care about Lin Zhen. A cold voice came from his mouth: “Just another fool who doesn’t know how to live. Your tactics are indeed cunning, and I fell for them. But, it’s useless. As an insignificant Star System Level 8, you’re just seeking death in front of me!”

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a small figure covered in silvery light flew out from Hua Hua Taisui’s brow, heading straight for Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

A Divine Infant’s outburst!

This Divine Infant was on the verge of advancing to gold, and it was, strictly speaking, much stronger than Lin Zhen’s Divine Infant.

But Lin Zhen was not afraid. Hua Hua Taisui couldn’t move, and his Divine Infant did not have the power to instantly kill. It wasn’t even clear who would kill who.

With a thought, Lin Zhen’s Divine Infant, which had been sleeping within him, opened its eyes and let out a scream, rushing out from the Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

The two Divine Infants clashed, and the other’s Divine Infant was more powerful, knocking Lin Zhen’s Divine Infant far away.

However, Lin Zhen’s Divine Infant launched a spear strike, piercing directly into the silvery figure’s chest!

Strands of spiritual power started to leak out, and a massive amount of energy began to dissipate.

Lin Zhen resisted the dizziness, took a step forward, and slashed sharply at Hua Hua Taisui’s neck with his palm!

The intense rebound force nearly shattered Lin Zhen’s hand bones, his power unable to break through the defense of the Purple Gold Divine Clan member.

“Kid…let us negotiate. I’ll give you all my wealth, and you’ll spare me. I promise there will be no grudges. Otherwise, once I recover, you won’t benefit either…”

Seeing his Divine Infant heavily injured, and himself unable to move, Hua Hua Taisui finally showed fear.

But at this point, how could Lin Zhen back down? He picked up the Yin-Yang Spear and struck Hua Hua Taisui again.

Shallow wounds appeared on his body, but they weren’t fatal. Instead, the cold air around him was released even faster.

“Such a formidable Purple Gold Divine Clan body. If he were in perfect condition, I wouldn’t even be able to touch a single hair on his head.”

Lin Zhen became resolute, using the spear to pry open Hua Hua Taisui’s mouth, and threw in a black elixir.

The black elixir was the one Lin Zhen had learned to refine from the memories he obtained from Xu Xingyao. It was specifically for exorcism.

While Hua Hua Taisui’s Divine Infant was injured, Lin Zhen wanted to forcibly exorcise him!

The exorcism elixir was swallowed, and Hua Hua Taisui let out unwilling whimpers. But at this moment, he had no strength to fight back. His silver-level Divine Infant shouldn’t have been defeated so easily, but his carelessness and eagerness led to Lin Zhen’s Divine Infant injuring him, and his mental power gave way.

He would never have dreamed that a Star System Stage martial artist would possess a Divine Infant, and that the Divine Infant would have a weapon.

Now he had no control over what happened next. Lin Zhen ruthlessly destroyed his Spiritual Consciousness Sea, rendered his body immobile, and began forcibly searching his soul!

With the exorcism elixir and Lin Zhen’s powerful spiritual power and soul, Hua Hua Taisui, the supreme World King who had escaped from many Longevity Realm warriors, perished under Lin Zhen’s ambush.

His soul, his memories, were completely and utterly stripped by Lin Zhen!

Only a Purple Gold Divine Clan corpse, akin to a humanoid weapon, and a silver-level Divine Infant on the verge of disintegration, remained.

At this time, the exorcism elixir took effect. Lin Zhen occupied his body and forcibly restored his will, directly taking the heavily injured and unconscious Divine Infant back into the Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

This would be his future avatar. This Divine Infant still had great uses, and Lin Zhen could not give up on him.

Thus, Hua Hua Taisui, as a person, was completely annihilated, leaving only an empty shell.

Lin Zhen was not at ease this time either. Hua Hua Taisui’s memories were much richer than Xu Xingyao’s, and in an instant, tides of memories came rushing in!
