Lu Jiaying is impossible to truly die.

    Unrelated to others' thoughts, it is Zhou Xin himself who fails this test.

    The Black Robe Man cannot allow it to be ignored either.

    This guy has evolved into a Dragon-Tailed Beast, and if allowed to continue growing, it would be a disaster for ordinary people.

    Therefore, the Black Robe Man must die!

    Zhou Xin silently calculated in her heart, contemplating how much of her lifespan she could spare to save Lu Jiayan's life.

    While Zhou Xin was in a dilemma, Lu Jiayan also very bravely made a choice on behalf of Zhou Xin.

    "Detonation!"

    Accompanied by Lu Jiayan's clearly articulated pronunciation of a single character.

    With a loud boom, an explosion occurred instantly under Lu Jiayan's feet.

    The shockwave from the explosion instantly freed Lu Jiayan from the grasp of the Black Robe Man.

    Though he landed in a rather undignified position, he had at least escaped with his life, preserving his own small fate.

    "Xiao Jie, don't wait any longer, beat him!"

    Pang Long, as Lu Jiayan's best friend, almost immediately grasped Lu Jiayan's intentions after he opened his mouth, and quickly encouraged him.

    Ning Meng held her breath and focused her attention, her eyes wide and steady as she watched Zhou Qi, anticipating the terrifying thunder in her hands.

    Zhou Qi was not up to the expectations of others.

    When she saw that Lu Jiayan could free himself from the control of the Black Robe Man, she immediately fired a burst of purple thunder directly at his body.

    Zhou Qi's divine punishment power is derived from the talismans of the heavenly court, with a legitimate origin and a formidable strength that should not be underestimated.

    Next, everyone witnessed as the purple divine punishment thunder struck the corner of the Black Robe Man's clothing.

    The Black Robe Man made no shouts or movements at all.

    As the purple light illuminated the entire Ghost Gate Pass, the Black Robe Man's body seemed as delicate as paper.

    With a chill wind blowing past, the Black Robe Man who had transformed into a dragon dissipated without a trace, and was no more.

    A single strike with the divine punishment thunder landed on its target, instantly taking down the opponent.

    "Damn it, I forgot to pick up the gear!"

    Looking at the Black Robe Man who had turned into fine dust, Zhou Xin rather regrettably slapped her arm.

    How could she have forgotten to pick up the fallen body?

    She had promised to compensate for the weak spirit.

    As Zhou Xin sighed and reflected on her actions, the Ghost Gate Pass's walls began to become translucent around her, and the crowd's spirits were suddenly restored, returning to the mortal realm!

    ...

    At the same time as the Black Robe Man was receiving divine punishment.

    On the other side of the real Ghost Gate Pass.

    "Damn, when will it end? Who is causing trouble here?"

    A ghost general angrily cursed and rebuked the surrounding ghost soldiers.

    The Ghost Gate Pass shook again.

    Third time!

    And this time was the most absurd; it even activated the defensive formation of the Ghost Gate Pass.

    Who is causing this trouble.

    Dare to attack the Ghost Gate Pass under his nose.

    Do they think ghosts have too long a lifespan?

    The ghost general angrily shouted and screamed.

    However, the surrounding ghost soldiers and specters were as confused as the ghost general.

    They had no idea what was happening.

    ...

    In the courtyard of Zhou Grandma's house.

    For the third time, everyone arrived at this familiar place.

    Snap.

    In a daze, Pang Long didn't pay attention to his foot and stepped on the radishes that Zhou Grandma had planted in the yard.

    "Pang Long!"

    Zhou Xin immediately glared at him.

    She summoned the Ghost Gate Pass so that it could...?

    It's not to protect Grandma, to protect Grandma's yard!

    Now that the enemy has been eliminated, but this yard...

    Looking at the messy yard, at the garden that had been trampled beyond recognition, Zhou Xin's heart was bleeding madly.

    Now, it's looking like dawn is about to break.

    If Grandma Zhou finds out about the mess in the yard, she must be heartbroken.

    Pang Long really didn't expect that he would be in trouble even after returning.

    Seeing Zhou Qi's expression that was like she wanted to eat him alive, Pang Long quickly chuckled awkwardly.

    "Well, Xiao Jie, you can rest assured that before our Grandma recovers, I will definitely make everything clear here!"

    Pang Long took out his phone while speaking and started to make a group call on the spot.

    "Um, Director Lu, what should we do about this guy?"

    Ning Meng dragged the trapped grass-crawler demon and asked Zhou Jiayan.

    "Take it back and lock it up. Since it's a companion of the Black Robe Man, I'm sure it knows about the secrets regarding the organs and tissues."

    Lu Jiayan checked his injuries and, while applying medicine to himself, replied without looking up.

    "Understood!"

    Ning Meng nodded and locked the grass-crawler demon inside the Ghost Cart.

    She was in a hurry to kowtow to Zhou Qi's leg, and had no time to waste on this creature.

    As everyone else was in orderly repair, doing their own thing.

    "You all seem so relaxed? I almost ran my legs off for you!"

    The voice of You Shi Lu filled with resentment echoed, and his figure appeared in front of everyone.

    Due to the previous interference of the Black Robe Man.

    You Shi Lu had no choice but to confront a judge who was inspecting the area.

    Fortunately, the judge knew You Shi Lu and, taking his face into account, did not hold the matter of Zhou Qi and others going to the underworld on their own against them.

    It's just that they may know each other, but the social niceties must still be observed.

    Thus, You Shi Lu reluctantly took out the spirit ghost that Zhou Qi had captured earlier and, with tears in her eyes, torn off her own arm that she was loathe to eat. She handed it over to the judge.

    After You Shi Lu finished dealing with the judge, as soon as she returned, she saw everyone idly relaxing. This immediately made him feel envious.

    Why did he have to run around so much, yet these people could just relax?

    "Reaper!"

    You Shi Lu was about to continue her complaints when Lu Jiayan suddenly stood up and called You Shi Lu over to the side.

    "Why does she possess the power of divine punishment? Who is she really?"

    Lu Jiayan glanced sideways at Zhou Xin who was chatting idly with Ning Meng.

    "Hmm?"

    You Shi Lu's expression changed after hearing that. She sniffled twice next to Lu Jiayan, quickly smelling the smell of thunder.

    "What have you all experienced? Why did you use the power of divine punishment?"

    You Shi Lu did not answer Lu Jiayan's question but instead asked about the events leading up to it.

    Lu Jiayan knew that in order to gain You Shi Lu's trust, she needed to be honest, so she briefly recounted the events that had transpired.

    "What the hell? It turned into a dragon?"

    Upon hearing about the Black Robe Man performing the snake dragon dance and completing the evolution of the ethnic bloodline, You Shi Lu widened her eyes in disbelief.

    Lu Jiayan nodded lightly.

    "That's why divine punishment power was used. Against a newly evolved dragon, divine thunder indeed provides a convenient solution."

    "Damn it, if I had known that, I wouldn't have told her all that useless stuff!"

    You Shi Lu first nodded and praised Zhou Xin's actions, then patted her face in regret.

    If it hadn't been for him saying too much useless stuff to Zhou Qi before the battle, saying that divine punishment power was useless, Zhou Qi wouldn't have tangled with the Black Robe Man for so long.

    If she had just gone in with a shot of divine punishment thunder, it would have been easy and pleasant, wouldn't it?

    "Her identity, must not be said!"

    In the end, You Shi Lu shook her head at Lu Jiayan's inquiring gaze and pointed upwards with her finger.
