Chapter 156 - Shocks and Dangers Haunted (1/2)

“How dare you!” Seeing Liu Shuai jumping at him, Hao Ning stared at him and retreated. He moved seven or eight steps quickly in a short time. At the same time, he touched Liu Shuai by hand. He used less than half of his power to make Liu Shuai’s legs immediately numb. Liu Shuai sat down on the chair immediately, rubbing his legs and complaining, “Hao Ning, are you serious? I’m kidding with you. Now I am in trouble. I don’t know whether I will be crippled or not.”

“Sorry, sorry…” Hao Ning didn’t realize that his Kung Fu was so powerful. He just played it with only ten percent of his power. He apologized immediately, “Don’t worry. There will be no side effects. But you can’t move for a while ‒ Well, you just said what was so dangerous?”

“That’s not the way it should be. Wait! I will fight against you again after my power recovers!” Liu Shuai rubbed his thighs, sadly. After their fight for fun, the atmosphere in the meeting room turned into much relaxing. Liu Shuai said while he was rubbing his legs, “Blame on me, I was too excited. After all, we are safe now. Hao Ning, if Jiang Ziya got out with you, he would have a way to force you to confer the gods. Right?”

“Err… You are right.” Hao Ning hesitated. Thinking that if Jiang Ziya used Liu Shuai or his relatives to force him, he might be obedient.

“After you conferred the gods, you would be the Ancestor of all Immortals, right?” Liu Shuai continued to ask.

“Well, maybe.” Hao Ning recalled.

“And then he would loot your body? No. It was not him. It should be the force that had bewitched Jiang Ziya and all Immortals in the world of the Creation of Gods would loot your body.” Liu Shuai laughed grimly, looking at Hao Ning. “Don’t forget. You were just a common person. The force could bewitch Jiang Ziya. How could you escape from it?”

“What you said seemed right…” Hao Ning nodded. He felt something must be wrong here when he recalled the details in the book. He continued to ask, “But Jiang Ziya promised me in the Gods Creation World at that time. He assigned me to be the subordinate in charge of all Immortals. So, I think he wanted to be the Ancestor of the Gods.”

“This was his strategy, a strategy of retreat for progress.” Xiao Hao also understood the whole thing. He looked at Liu Shuai admiringly, “The descendant of Yun Zhong Zi does have special skills. Even I didn’t notice this. If the bewitched Jiang Ziya told you this directly that he could not seal the gods, and he needed you to seal the gods in this secular world, and then he would bewitch or loot you, what would you do?”

“I would…” Hao Ning thought of this. He got an idea and said immediately, “I would do what Nezha did. Rather than troubling this secular world, I would stay in the Gods Creation World! Oh, I see. The reason why he said he would go out to seal gods was that he just needed me to take him out of that world and was trying to relax my vigilance!”

Hao Ning couldn’t help wiping his sweat. Fortunately, he was determined at that time and resisted Jiang Ziya’s temptation. Thinking of the whole thing, Hao Ning didn’t consider that he resisted his temptation because he was a nobleman. At that time, he just concentrated on how to save Zhou Yuan. So, he was not interested in any other things. If that happened now and Jiang Ziya promised him a Maserati, he might take him out of that world. Thinking of this, Hao Ning couldn’t help blushing. “I am just a pleb. Don’t test me like this again.” He thought.

Thinking of this, he felt it was frightening. He couldn’t help asking as he looked at Nezha in front of him, “How did you guys get out of that world? Are you sober now or bewitched? And, the Uncle you mentioned several times before was Jiang Ziya?”

“Right, Uncle Jiang and I were out of the Gods Creation World,” Nezha nodded. He added, “We were sober. Otherwise, wouldn’t you these talented people torture me into pieces?” It seemed that Nezha had been here for a long time. He already knew some hot expressions of times.

“How could you be sober?” Hao Ning asked, curiously. “I do not believe that it was your better nature that asserted yourselves.”

“Well? Wasn’t the fight between you and us that got rid of the bewitches on the Immortals and Uncle Jiang?” Nezha said in confusion. “And after that fight, Uncle Jiang and I came to this secular world to seek for his soul.”

“You were so great, Hao Ning.” Liu Shuai was so happy that he patted Hao Ning’s shoulder. “You were so great in the Gods Creation World. Could you even get rid of the bewitches on the gods within a fight?”

“Go away. Don’t make trouble.” Hao Ning knew that there must be something wrong with the whole thing. But there were too many unanswered questions here, so he had to focus on some important ones, “Did you come here to seek for the soul? Did Jiang Ziya’s soul get lost? Why?”

“He was bewitched so deeply that his soul left his body.” Nezha’s eyes dimmed down. “If we can’t find his soul, he will not have the right to confer Immortals. If so, the true spirits of the Immortals will be in unstable conditions. And the Gods Creation World may be bewitched again.”

“Oh, I see,” Hao Ning nodded. He understood a little. “So, where is Uncle Jiang now?”

“I have no clue.” Nezha shook his head. “It was a grave dangerous thing to cross the spell boundary. At that time, we did not have much time to cross it, and Uncle Jiang and I seemed to have encountered a torrent. The torrent separated us. Before having been separated, Uncle Jiang told me: The journey to seek for the soul will be full of dangers. If we are separated, I should turn to Master Hongjun for help. And you are the Master Hongjun.”

“… But I am…” Hao Ning and others looked at each other, confused. They had regarded Nezha’s story as a joke or something. But after hearing Nezha’s experience, they all felt confused. Before, they could think that Nezha was too young that he made some mistakes. But Jiang Ziya, as a leading figure in the war between Shang and Zhou, had the courage others might not have to sacrifice himself and even the whole Gods Creation World to keep the secular world safe. He told Nezha such words at the final time. Such a nobleman must know what he was doing.

“Well, Hao Ning, are you indeed the Master Hongjun?” Liu Shuai began to doubt his own judgment. After all, the story Nezha told seemed to be a true story. “Did you recover your original simplicity? Your present state is just an illusion, and now you are a slumbering reincarnated tycoon who is powerful enough to change the world and re-create the chaos Hun Dun?”

“Re-create the chaos Hun Dun? I can only have one bowl of dumplings Hun Tun at one time and it should be three fresh vegetables stuffing inside! And what the hell is Hongjun?” Had you ever seen any Hongjun who couldn’t practice power? Thinking of this, Hao Ning felt angry, “You are Master Hongjun. Damn you.”
